Chapter 20 The Forest on Fire

Sleeping until the sun was three poles, Yang Jun was carried by Adi to the lake with his hands and feet stiff.Originally, Adi meant to let Yang Jun rest at home, and it would be good for him to reinforce it, but Yang Jun was worried.The five little finger-sized leeches last time were still fresh in his memory, if he had to hang five more, he would be stupid!

Let Adi put on thin animal skin clothes, tie the corners tightly, apply thick wild ginger juice on the skin that cannot be covered, such as the neck, and sprinkle a little on the animal skin clothes, the pungent smell of ginger juice diffuses in the water I'm afraid it can make all aquatic animals retreat three feet!

To be on the safe side, Yang Jun also asked Adi to carry a small bag of ginger juice with him in an animal skin bag, and every time the smell evaporated, he would come back to add some.Fortunately, half of the water level receded, and the wooden piles and bamboo rafts were all exposed. Adi only had to swim back and forth to check it. Naturally, if it was stable, it didn't take much time to reinforce it if it was loose.

When Adi went ashore, Yang Jun hurriedly asked him to take off his animal fur coat, and he was relieved to see that nothing was hanging on his body.

"I'm fine." Adi smiled.

Yang Jun glared at him angrily: "I know you're fine." So big five leeches, it's frightening to look at, and they said they're fine, but it's only serious if the blood is sucked dry?

There must be no reason to go back empty-handed when we arrived at the lake. Adi took a wooden fork and forked two three-jin grass carp in the shallow water. screw.This made him happy, so he immediately rolled up his trousers, put the wild celery aside, picked up the bamboo shoots, and went into the water.

The shallow water area of ​​Shilaiping is crystal clear. There are many stone screws stuck to stones, branches, and rocks in twos and threes. The ancient stone screws have not been harmed by humans, and almost all of them are bigger than thumbs. .

When Adi saw it, he put the fish on the shore, and started touching the screws when he got into the water.

Yang Jun laughed: "Adi also ate stone screws?"

Adi nodded to show that he had eaten it, and looked at the hard shell on his hand that was the size of a thumb. "Stone screw?"

Yang Jun brought the bamboo basket over and asked Adi to put the stone screw in his hand into the bamboo basket. "This is the common name in our country. There are places where it is directly called screw, river screw, small screw, etc. The dialect names are even different. There is also a kind of field snail that is similar to this stone screw. It is bigger and harder. But compared to snails, I prefer to eat stone snails. Although the meat is smaller, it is fresher and sweeter. There is a method called "suo snails" which is our most popular method. When I go back and put the stone snails in water for two days, I If I make it for you again, Adi will definitely like it too."

When it comes to eating, Adi admitted that according to Yang Jun's words, he would not be able to catch up with the plane. Even though he didn't know what an "airplane" was, and he didn't know much about Yang Jun's metaphors, but as a matter of fact, he Compared with what they eat now, the food in the tribe in the past is really much worse. Sometimes it is hard to eat when you think about it.

After about forty minutes, I touched half of the bluestone screw, weighing no less than seven or eight catties in my hand, and called Adi to go ashore and go home.Doudou, the size of a puppy, came out of the grass, came back covered with mangy balls stuck to his fur from nowhere, ran to Yang Jun's feet and rubbed, probably feeling uncomfortable.

Yang Jun kicked and scolded: "You know how to play like a wolf, you don't look like a wolf!" Angrily, he squatted down and took them away one by one, cursing: "If you play like crazy again, I don't want you!"

Doudou didn't understand. She shook her fur and felt comfortable, and then ran away with a groan. Yang Jun was so angry that he really wanted to catch up and give him a pump.

"It's better not to raise it than not to raise it, I'm so pissed off!" Yang Jun turned his head angrily: "We will lock the yard when we go back, and don't open the door for Doudou. Let's see what it will do!"

Adi blinked and didn't answer. I remembered that Doudou didn't even return to Yang Jun at noon a few days ago, that's what Yang Jun said, but he was the first one to meet Doudou when he came back.

In fact, Yang Jun also knew that what he said was angry, who called him a fluff control!What's more, Doudou is a wolf, and raising a wolf by his side is awe-inspiring!

On the way back, he saw thick smoke billowing in the distance, so Adi climbed up to the top of a tree and looked from a distance. The smoke was red.

"Is it on fire?" Yang Jun asked quickly when Adi came down.

"It's on fire." Adi hesitated.

Yang Jun thought that Adi was worried that the fire would burn them, so he comforted them: "The fire is strong against the wind, and the fire will not reach us if the wind blows to us. Besides, there is a stream over the house, if it cannot be burned, it will burn the house." There is a high cliff in the back, and the plants in the front ten or 20 meters can't be burned even if the plants are cut clean."

Adi was really worried that the fire would reach them when he came here. After all, there are too many things that can be burned on the mountain at this time of year, and secondly, he wanted to go hunting.The fire will drive the prey in the mountain to one direction, and as long as he robs in this direction, he can catch the prey that usually takes two or three days.

"Ayang, I want to go hunting."

Yang Jun refused without thinking: "There is no shortage of food at home, so there is no need to take this risk." The forest fire is no better than other fires, it burns fast, and there is thick smoke, which will make you faint There is no reaction when the fire burns to the feet.

"It's not dangerous, I'll run against the fire."

"Don't go!" Yang Jun glared at him, and went home and put the stone snails in bamboo baskets and soaked them in clear stream water. After soaking for two days, the mud in the stone snails could be used to make snails.You can do it now, but it's not clean, and it would be terrible to eat a mouthful of mud.

Adi smashed the fish, but he was so distracted that he almost hurt his hand.

Yang Jun took it angrily, turned around and asked him, "Do you really want to go?"

"... After the fire, the prey will decrease, and there may not be enough food for the winter."

Yang Jun couldn't convince Adi of his obsession with winter food needs, and he didn't know the preciousness of food if he didn't experience the despair of living in a cave for a long time without any food. "...you can go, you have to listen to me."

Adi nodded quickly.

"Don't get close to open flames, and don't run in front of the fire," Yang Jun said while cutting off a pure white cotton hanging, stacked three layers to make a mask, and taught him how to hang it on his ears after wetting it with water. Up: "Don't take it off. If it's dry, wet it with water so that you won't be choked by thick smoke. It's not allowed to hit large running beasts. Also, you must come back before the sun sets. Otherwise, I will go find you."

"Ah Yang don't want it, come to me. I will come back before the sun goes down." The forest on fire is several times more dangerous than usual, not only the fire but also the prey of the riots driven by the fire.

"If you don't want me to look for it, then come back before the sun sets." Seeing Adi Shen nodding his head, Yang Jun heaved a sigh of relief.Adi made a promise, and he would never go back on what he promised, but even if he knew Adi's superb hunting skills and strength, he would definitely come back before the sun set, but Yang Jun still couldn't help but tremble with fear.The anger is that he doesn't know how to hunt. If he can hunt, he will definitely be able to follow him, and he won't have to stay at home and worry.

Looking forward to the sun going down like a year, Yang Jun stood in front of the door and looked anxiously at the direction of Adi's departure, and he didn't even have time to pay attention to Doudou, who had always been doted on.

The sun was setting, and Yang Jun was about to go out to look for it, when Adi came from the other side of his line of sight.When he ran closer and saw that Adi's neck was covered with blood, Yang Jun's face turned pale with fright, and he reached out to touch it.

Adi hurriedly stopped: "I'm not hurt, this is the blood of the prey." Adi comforted Yang Jun, dragged the prey like a hill behind him to the stream, confessed "it's okay", got into the woods and dragged it back to three A wild deer and some pheasants and hares.

Yang Jun finally knew why Adi insisted on going up the mountain. The harvest can be compared to the usual three days. The wild deer and roe deer are large enough to have seven heads, and the pheasants and rabbits are tied up like twists. , Shen Shen Yang Jun couldn't even mention it.Looking at the mountain-like prey, Yang Jun crossed his shoulders and resigned himself to his fate, making plans to start the night shift.
