Famine Survival Guide

Chapter 106 Sacrifice (106)

The victim went back to the tent and sat in a daze for a while. He passed out the night before, but last night was the first night he slept here. He didn't sleep well for various reasons.

The weird smell in the tent, the sound of the wind and insects outside all made it difficult for him to sleep peacefully. He only slept for a while when the dawn was about to break, but he was woken up again not long after. This kind of environment is that no matter how big the temper is, you have to endure it, the dull brain becomes clear after a while, the sound of someone talking outside, and the play of children, the victim patted his cheek, opened the backpack to choose Something to take to the Great Lakes.

The ice stick must be self-defense. There is no way to bring both backpacks, but just in case, I should bring one. He is worried about putting them all in this tent. These things can be counted as his reliance here. Weapons and food, no matter how poor they are, they can protect themselves before finding them on Monday.

Not long after, Laiwu's voice came from outside the tent: "Master Ji, are you ready to go to the Great Lake?"

The victim then sat up from the ground, put his backpack on his back, thought for a while and took a walking cane, put the ice stick on his waist and walked out of the tent, "Okay, take me there."

Laiwu was waiting for him with a middle-aged man outside the tent, saw him come out and bowed his head to show respect, but fortunately he didn’t kneel down anymore, the man whispered his name: “Master Sacrifice, I’m Shi Meng, I will accompany Laiwu You go to the Great Lake." The distressed man nodded his head in understanding, and glanced around, but the half-beasts were not there, and in the camp of the Spear tribe, there were only two old men sitting on the ground basking in the sun, with four children rubbing their hands together. Something, he was a little curious, walked over to have a look, and squatted among several naked children to check the details.

There are a few large leaves on the ground, containing some black and slender grains, each about three centimeters in length. Several children and old people are rubbing the plants that resemble ears of wheat with their hands, and then use their fingers to remove the hard-to-separate grains. It takes a lot of effort to peel off the grain completely.

The black grains in the leaves are only about a handful. The victim picked up one with his fingers and carefully looked at it. He was a little surprised. This seemed to be wild rice, one of the six grains in ancient China. Unexpectedly, the savages here already knew how to collect this grain. After eating, "Is this wild rice?" Putting the rice back into the leaves, the victim asked an old man.

Said that the old man is actually not too old, his hair is not too white, but his face is very old, the old man replied: "This is black rice, that's what the tribes of Yufengyuan call it. Is it called wild rice in your tribe?" The reporter didn't shake his head or nod, "I'm not sure if it's the wild rice I know, where did you get it?"

"Master Sacrifice, there is black rice in a small pond not far from the Great Lake, and there is also some in the Great Lake, but in the past few years, there has been little fruit, and all of them have grown into aquatic melons." Laiwu explained aloud, and the victims knew in their hearts that if they If he guessed right, that "water melon" should be Zizania, but the Zizania that the Mao tribe ate yesterday was too small, not as big as the ones he had seen before, so he didn't think of it for a while.

The victims had read information about Liugu in books before. Wild rice is one of them, and it is quite special. The plants of wild rice and wild rice stems are of the same type. This kind of wild rice will no longer produce rice, and it will be replaced by the wild bamboo that grows after the stem expands.Because wild rice is difficult to collect, and the wild rice that grows is plentiful and easy to collect, artificial cultivation of wild rice was abandoned in ancient China, and most wild rice in modern China is wild.

"Does the priest want to eat black rice? It tastes delicious when cooked!" A child looked at the victim curiously, and saw him shaking his head. The victim stood up and asked Laiwu, "Do you collect a lot of wild rice every year? "

Laiwu didn't know why he asked this question, so he answered truthfully: "Not many, birds also like to eat this, and there is another tribe who robs us, and the harvest season can only collect enough for a few people to eat. Leave it for children and the elderly, and cook it with water to fill their stomachs, and during the snow season, it will save Mao from losing some people." This is why there are still old people in a small tribe like Mao. Planting black rice is very precious. During the snow season, the food of many tribes will be given priority to half-beasts and men who can hunt, and useless old people will starve to death because of insufficient food. Spears collect black rice before the snow season, It is possible to preserve as many people as possible after the grassland is frozen.

Looking at the small handful of wild rice on the ground, the distressed person deeply felt that life was not easy, so he sighed in his heart and said, "Let's go."

Only then did Laiwu and Shi Meng go forward to lead the way, and the victims followed behind. They couldn't hold back when they looked back at the old people and children who were shelling wild rice, and asked curiously, "Why don't those children wear beast clothes?" skin?" The weather is not hot, just running around outside with bare buttocks really dazzles my eyes, Laiwu smiled, and Shi Meng explained: "The children are too weak, now let them blow more and get cold. Will freeze to death because of the snow season, that's how the Spears come here."

Only then did the victim understand, and it was a bit funny to think that Zhou Yijian might run around naked like this when he was a child, but the little wolf dog is so cute, and he must have been very cute when he was a child.

……

The distance between the Spear tribe and the Great Lake is less than ten kilometers. After walking with two locals for a while, the victims began to thank themselves for bringing walking sticks. Not to mention Shi Meng, even Laiwu walked with ease. There is no shortage of victims Exercising, but it feels a bit strenuous. If you don't hold a walking stick and estimate that you have to run to keep up, it would be a shame.

After walking for more than an hour, the victims finally saw the glint of water in the great lake, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

Laiwu slowed down, "Master Priest, let Shi Meng go to see if there is any other danger."

"Okay." The victim agreed, just to take this opportunity to take a rest. The lake looks quite big, and it will take a lot of energy to check it out later.

The victims and Laiwu waited. Shi Meng watched by the lake for a while. He only saw a few animals drinking water, so he went back and called people, "There are no large animals, you can go there."

The area of ​​the big lake on Yufengyuan is about [-] hectares by visual inspection. This size is really rare in the grassland. The victims stood by the lake and took a deep breath of water vapor. Looking at the sparkling waves, they felt very relaxed. They drilled into the reeds not far away. A few wild ducks came out, and they were quite plump.

Shi Meng and Lai Wu looked at each other, "Master Sacrifice, I want to look for webbed bird eggs in the surrounding grass, can I ask Shi Meng to take you to find aquatic melons?" Lai Wu said, and the victim nodded Yes, it doesn't matter if he is alone.

The victim picked up a handful of water to wash his face and rinse his mouth. There was no fresh water in his bag, and he just came out in such a mess in the morning. Seeing that he had nothing else to do, Shi Meng walked along the lake with his feet. The location is actually very conspicuous, and the victims saw it after a while. It grew by the lake, and the root system was slightly submerged by the water. Some thicker tissues can be seen when the wide and thick leaves are opened. The victims broke off a spindle-shaped aquatic plant. The melon is in the hand, and after peeling off the outer leaves, the white and lovely fruit is revealed, which is exactly the water bamboo.

"The aquatic melons are still small now, and they will grow up a lot in the near future. The big ones can be as thick as a child's wrist, and a few can be enough to eat." Shi Meng announced aloud, looking at the clusters of green plants Very kindly, "cooking with meat can save a lot of food." The victim didn't answer. People here live such a simple and hard life, which is nothing compared to the little hunger he suffered at the beginning.

Breaking off a few thicker wild rice stems, the victim opened his backpack and stuffed it into the space specially vacated before, resisting the urge to shovel a few plants up—maybe it’s the sequelae of staying in the world of famine for a long time, it seems that this is effective He always wanted to pack and take away the wild plants, but it is not uncommon to put a few wild rice stems in the bag. It would be too weird to put these wild wild plants in the backpack and look at them. There is no Monday to see this powerful amulet around him. Those who do things are bound to be restrained.

Looking at the large piece of green with regret, the victim left the place with Shi Meng, and walked along the lake, and picked up two wild duck eggs. Shi Meng failed to catch a wild duck, and these people living by the lake The ducks are very shrewd, jumping directly into the water at the slightest sign of trouble. People who can't swim can only stand on the shore and watch.

The victim was not interested in swimming with ducks in the water. After listening to Shi Meng sighed a few words, he started to go back. He also wanted to see the small pond where wild rice grew. The ear and the seeds would be put in a cloth bag. It doesn't take up space either.

Laiwu also finished picking duck eggs. She was sweating a lot, but she looked very happy. She came to the victim with a ball of animal skins, which made the victim's eyes wander. When she went out, Laiwu didn't bring any extra eggs. The hide of the duck egg was naturally taken from her body at this moment, it was the upper part of her body.

"I found two nests of newly laid eggs, enough for the tribe's children to eat for a few days!" Laiwu excitedly uncovered the animal skin, and the victim counted thirteen eggs inside, which was enough. There were six children in the Spear tribe. , each person can have one more.Shi Meng was also very happy. After these eggs were handed over to the tribe, he and the children in Laiwu could share them. "You go back first, be careful not to break it. I will accompany the priest to go another way to pick black rice."

Laiwu hesitated a little, the victim nodded and said: "Go back, be careful on the road."

"Thank you, Lord Sacrifice!" Laiwu thanked, and then carefully carried the duck egg and walked towards the tribe first. Shi Meng watched her back go away before heading in another direction, to the small pond requested by the priest.

The victim followed quietly, feeling as if he had eaten the dog food given by the savage couple, and felt a little indescribably melancholy.

He reached out and touched his chest, the beating of his heart was always in line with the heart rate of another person in the distance, he could feel it.

It's been two days, and I still haven't come... See you on Monday, I'm afraid he died on the way.

The author has something to say:

See you on Monday: No, no, I’m not, I don’t have one, I want to kiss you too QAQ

Lost person: If you don't come, I will have another dog (pointing to Night Wolf)

meet on Monday:! ! !

...... The silly dog ​​theater you want......

Finally over [-] words!Reached the average length of JJ! (Alas)

After a search, wild rice and wild rice have been used as food in my country for more than 3000 years, so I wrote it to improve the recipe~
