From ancient times to open up wasteland

Chapter 21 Winter in the Cave, Hibernation in the Forest

The days in the cave were not as difficult as imagined.

This point really made Wu Qi happy for a long time.

Ever since he knew that he regarded Lao Ba as a fat rabbit as a pillow, Wu Qi begged a bunch of hay from Dongcai at dawn the next day to spread it under the fur.

The temperature below is guaranteed, and it will not be so difficult to sleep if it is covered with a thicker layer of plush animal skin.Not too heavy and not cold.

The water mackerel did not express any opinion on this, and slept peacefully in its own place every night, and did not mention the unexpected incident of being hugged or deliberately hugged that night.

Since even the water mackerel himself didn't mention it anymore, Wu Qi didn't need to be embarrassed.When I was happy, I made small snacks for three days to feed this tall and still young boy with a gradually mature face.

Like Wu Qi, water mackerel loves to eat sweet but not greasy snacks.Yu Bai, who has always been thick-skinned, can't even get Ah Qi's snacks from myna, so he has to turn to Ah Qi for dim sum.

During the daytime, the water mackerel and Yubai come over at meal times, and Yubai really depends on Ah Qi's two meals a day, even the midday lunch at Ah Qi's house is never missed.

Yu Duoduo can't imitate his elder brother Bai, who is growing taller and has a round face that is gradually changing to resemble his mother's face. If she asks her to use such a flattering expression to beg for food, she will have no face, as long as she has lunch.She is not as greedy as Brother Bai.

Not long after this winter, Yubai has changed rapidly from the round face and slender eyes when he first met the tribe in a short period of time.It was only then that Wu Qi realized why Yu Baihui, who was only one year younger than the water fin, was much shorter than the water fin.It turns out that most of them will change drastically in the winter when they are 14 years old. How high they will be in the future probably depends on the increase in this winter.

When Wu Qi first heard about this, she almost couldn't help complaining about going crazy again.

Why don't you come here and become less and less like yourself.

After thinking about it, I have worked so hard for so long, but in the end I realized that the possibility of getting higher is almost zero.At first, he thought that he might be able to catch up with the celebration of the old saying "23 jump up and jump up", and grow a little taller.He can't just develop horizontally, it's not bad to be strong, but the height he wants, even a few centimeters more, is better than such a small stature.He is a young man, not a gentleman.

Looking down at his own face in the water basin, Wu Qi really wanted to spread his hands to show that he was powerless after scanning the face of his peach-eyed father who had grown fleshy and rounded and looked more and more like that evildoer.

At this moment, Wu Qi truly understands the psychology of those compatriots in the previous life who always complained about him here and there.

Could it be that he was too blessed in his previous life, so in this life, why don't you just give him a short, poor and irreversible life?

Calm down, at least he's healthy now.At least, he doesn't have the eyes of his own father.He is obviously a 20-year-old youth, how can he bear the face of a teenage boy, he himself feels a little nervous about this.

Maybe it's been too long, and he has begun to covet things that he never thought of before.It's not good to go on like this, he thought, Mingming said that he was indifferent on the outside and sullen on the inside, but he was just embarrassed to act like a mother-in-law, which is probably true.

Wu Qi waved his hand, signaling Dong Cai that he doesn't need to drink water.

With his already deeply weak body and mind, Wu Qi packed another bale of hay and went home to prepare lunch.

People who live in the mountains don't pay much attention to the concept of time.

Wu Qi has never been a literary young man. He came to ancient times to live for a better life every day.

After entering the cave, his living scope became narrower and narrower.The boys always go exploring in various caves, and the time to come to Wu Qi is much less.

He would like to go with the children to those caves that have been explored many times without any danger, but this group of children came to him, and walking with him behind a group of children to wander around is completely two situations.

After drawing the second orthography, Rare Wenyi's heart relapsed.

The deceased is like a husband who does not want to leave day or night.

This sentence is still the origin and legend of this old saying that his mother liked to tell him while playing with the alarm clock when he was a child.His mother didn't leave him with many memories, and he would always think of the ones he could remember from time to time.

In this cave, he finally understood the importance of time to his mother, and it was no wonder that his mother had always liked clocks and watches.

After the first seven days in the cave, he never saw the sunshine like the first day.

The cloudy days for several consecutive days often gave him the feeling of seeing the night scene of his previous life.

In the night of the previous life, the lights illuminated the old city, and it was dark like a city that never sleeps.

The alternation of day and night this week gave him the illusion that he couldn't tell the difference between day and night.If it wasn't for the second day after he came here, he was afraid that he would forget how long he stayed and then make a record of it. He really wouldn't remember the days he stayed in the cave.

The waterfin told him that such a day is winter in the eastern continent.

Wu Qi didn't have the guts to sneak out to take a look at what the weather was like outside the cave.He is not afraid of the constant temperature in the cave, and no matter how many animal skins he wraps outside, he will not be able to survive the winter.

Wu Qi was sitting by the fire, holding in his hand the bone knife made of running beasts given by the water squash last time, and shaving the potato skins cleanly.There is still meat left from the running beast from last time, so what he wants to do today is roast pork with potatoes.For him, a rookie cook who is a modern novice and an ancient master, thanks to him, he has always been the best at controlling the speed. Not only has his cooking ability been greatly improved, but it is also enough to cope with his increasingly picky appetite.Usually he is still used to cooking simple dishes, and the ancient meat, vegetables and fruits are more delicious than their mutated food at that time.With the condiments of the later generations, he can make better ones, even if they are not delicious, who knows here.

When Dongcai came, he happened to see Ah Qi cooking meat, and his stomach gurgled even if he wasn't hungry.

Ah Qi is good at everything, but the dishes he cooks are too attractive.

"In two days, Brother Yun and Lao Ba are going to the dense forest. What are you going to make for him?" Dong Cai was slaughtering rabbits for jerky in the morning, and suddenly remembered that Ah Qi still had a lot of meat. Unable to remember things, he put down his work and came to look for Ah Qi.

In the past few days, Ah Qi and Dong Cai have been getting together almost every day to talk about what to cook. Dong Cai now directly talks about cooking, and is often hooked up by Ah Qi's lunch so that he refuses to go home.

Dong Nai sighed, mourning his increasingly hungry stomach.His eyes were still on Ah Qi, and he was waiting for Ah Qi's reply.

"Dense forest?" Wu Qi thought for a while, and it took him a long time to think of going to the dense forest. It seemed that only boys who had reached the age of 15 could go there. In Ah Qi's memory, there was only the news that it was dangerous to go to the dense forest in winter.

As soon as I clapped my hands, the rice spoon almost fell.

Turning his head and glaring at Dongcai, Wu Qi hurriedly asked, "Is that the dreadful dense forest in winter?"

"It's okay, it's the first time for Lao Ba to go, Brother Yun said he will take care of Lao Ba. Besides, Lao Ba is not bad, so he must be fine."

"Do you have to go there?" He remembered that Yusheng came to him one day and told him how dangerous the dense forest was, if it was really that dangerous, what if Lao Bawan was in danger if he was not careful?

He was the boy Dongcai said later that he was going to go when he turned 15, and he didn't get in touch with him for a while.

"That's it." Dong Cai scooped up a piece of meat with a spoon, and ate deliciously with Ah Qi's batter.

"Isn't there enough food for a whole winter? Why go hunting? It's more dangerous than other times." Wu Qi wanted to ask before, but kept missing the opportunity.

"You really forgot all about it. If every tribe stayed peacefully in their own caves, those wild beasts would have destroyed our tribe when we got out." Seeing that Ah Qi became more and more confused, Dongcai called Tell me what you know in detail.

Since the sudden change in the eastern continent, the beasts on the continent have been looking for a way of life that suits them just like them.

The way humans adapt to mutations is firstly to become stronger and more resistant to frost from generation to generation, and then to find out suitable places to spend winter.

The result of the evolution of animals is similar to the previous method of humans. Many creatures directly become hibernating creatures, and this category is dominated by large herbivores.The places where animals hibernate are generally in the forests in the mountains, which have remained unchanged for many years. People on the eastern continent call the forests where animals hibernate dense forests.

It stands to reason that such a forest can be called a hunting paradise without exaggeration.

But since the hibernation of herbivores, those carnivorous beasts have fewer prey targets and often go to dense forests for food.Sometimes there is no harvest, and the beasts will attack the tribe, because generally there will be some food left in the tribe.Some ferocious beasts have also begun to hibernate. The hibernation of this kind of beast is relatively shallow. It is relatively dangerous for people who go in to hunt to wake up this kind of beast accidentally.Especially some omnivorous beasts are more likely to be irritated and violent by intruders.

As for Dong Cai's first mention of the beast destroying the tribe, it's not an exaggeration.

It seems that at the beginning of a year, the largest Donghai tribe on the eastern continent, the whole family moved into a warm cave and never went out of the cave. In the beginning of spring, they found that their tribe was terrible.The news spread throughout the Eastern Continent, and the other tribes couldn't help but rejoice that they had specially left some tribe members who were not afraid of the cold to stay behind in case of problems with the tribe, and would whistle to warn if there was any danger.Only then did they escape the frenzied attack of all the beasts.The Donghai tribe is confident that the land is stable, and the strengthened defenses before leaving are nothing in front of wild beasts.

Since then, no matter how cold the winter is, some people in the tribe will stay behind, and this part of people will be passed down from generation to generation, one by one to fight the cold.The habit of whistle warning has been kept until now, but that kind of whistle is more difficult to make. Wu Qi has never heard whistle, guessing that they might have imitated the vocal range of some kind of creature.He believed in the power of this kind of warning post, but he didn't expect them to make it.However, Dongcai also said that there are at most two whistles for each tribe on the eastern continent, which were allocated when the first five continents were separated from the central Central Plains continent.

The former Eastern Continent, and the three continents in the south, west, and north belong to the territory of the Central Plains Continent.Later, I don't know what happened before it was divided into five continents, and the four tribes changed their names as soon as they were separated.However, people on each continent are still used to saying that they are east and west, and then they always directly refer to the eastern continent and the western continent, instead of Dongyang continent.The five continents have no rulers themselves, so there is not much conflict of interest, and the continents are considered good friends.

However, Dongcai said that 50 years ago, a very domineering tribe emerged in the southern continent, forcing other tribes to pay tribute. Up to now, no one dares to underestimate that tribe in the southern continent.

When Wu Qi heard this, she couldn't help but put her hands on her head. After hearing this, her head felt big.

It's not about separating the political power, why separate it properly.Not long after they separated, the Eastern Continent, which had such a good terrain, suffered a disaster, and then the south moved towards the history of evolution. It is not yet known what will happen to the other three continents.

"Hey." After Wu Qi finished listening, she didn't finish drinking the batter, so she just sighed.

He just wanted to know why Mao had to go to the dense forest, and now he was very stressed after listening to the brief history of the mainland.

"Actually, even if it's dangerous now, it's not that dangerous anymore. The main reason is that it's cold and it's inconvenient to arrest, but it's really not dangerous." Otherwise, boys who have reached the age of 15 will not be required to train. freeze.Thinking of this, Dong Cai couldn't help but cast a glance at Ah Qi, and when he saw Ah Qi who was still small in the cave with his upper body covered with a layer of animal skin, he curled his lips invisibly.

Like Ah Qi, even if he reaches fifty, he can't be allowed to go out in winter, even she is more frost-resistant than him.

If Wu Qi knew that even Dong Cai, who didn't underestimate him the most, looked at him like this, he should be speechless about his height again.Even if he brought the body of his previous life, he still couldn't resist the cold.

For some reason, Wu Qi shivered.Hurry up and finish the last batter to keep warm.

How could he feel cold in a warm cave?

It's time to run again, Wu Qi decided.

It would be great if he could go through hibernation directly, but it would be bad if the old eight came back from hard work without hot food.

Seeing Ah Qi's changing expression now, Dong Cai also smiled, gentle and sunny.

What could be more fun than seeing a gloomy person become sunny?She is very patient, Ah Qi is very similar to her when she was a child, it would be a lie to say that she doesn't care about someone who is so similar to herself.

Thinking of what Zuzu said to her, the smile in her eyes deepened.

Zuzu, you knew this day would come, didn't you?

In winter, it still grows.

【~~Small Beast Theater~~】

The Pao Pao Beast ran at the forefront, and Dian'er Dian'er ran and yelled: Pao Pao is the first to come out! ~ (running and jetting)

All herbivores: (drowsy) There is less grass, it's time to sleep.Run, play, be careful not to be caught.

The beast retracted its sharp claws and lay down: go aside.Running around annoying or not, no wonder he was caught.Silly beast.

The second running beast, crying loudly: It's all your fault, it's all your fault, it got caught woooo~~(>_<)~~, it's so heart-wrenching. (Turning his head and turning around) Hmph, I won't go to the woods anymore.

The third running beast: Two two, don't be so two.Lin Zi is going, everyone is scary, one one is gone, three three will protect you, two two.

A hibernating beast that was awakened: (kicks violently) Going around, I didn’t hear it.Carefully I ate you all.

Er Paopao (continues to cry): They are all bad beasts.Sansan is the best way to shout about beasts and beasts.

Sanpaopao: Roar~
