Survival in Primitive Society

The next day, God was very kind and it was a sunny day.

Because Drew said that he would take Xie Wei'an out to find food, so Xie Wei'an got up early in the morning and made breakfast, and after everyone finished eating, he made preparations and went out.

Compared with Xie Wei'an who wanted to wrap himself into a ball, Drew's outfit was much simpler. Although the army coat and cotton trousers were very comfortable to wear, it was not very convenient to move, so Drew changed into the former In his spare time, he changed into a leather jacket made from the remaining skin of the prey that Barton had killed. Xie Wei'an was taken aback when he saw that Drew was dressed the same as when he first saw him.

Drew noticed Xie Wei'an's expression, thought there was something wrong, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xie Wei'an recovered and shook his head, "It's nothing, it's fine."

"En." Seeing Xie Wei'an's answer, Drew nodded and said nothing.

Drew took Xie Wei'an out, and Ah Fu and Patton naturally wanted to follow. Originally, Patton wanted Ah Fu to lie on its back and let it carry it away, but after all these days, Ah Fu has gradually grown up. It was no longer the small group of small groups, and they couldn't sit still no matter what they did, so they had no choice but to let Ah Fu come down and follow him. Xie Wei'an couldn't help but sniggered at Barton's unwilling expression.

But soon, Xie Wei'an couldn't laugh anymore. The snow in the yard was cleaned up by Drew, but he forgot that the snow outside the yard was not cleaned by anyone, and he stepped on it. Knees, and Ah Fu was basically buried by the snow. This situation made Xie Wei'an feel like retreating - such a thick snow, walking for a morning may not be able to walk 1000 meters.

Drew, who was walking in front, found that there was no movement behind him, so he turned his head to check, only to find that Xie Wei'an was standing still with a tangled expression.

Drew walked back and came to Xie Wei'an, "What's wrong?"

Xie Wei'an pointed to the thick snow on the ground with some distress, "It's hard to walk in such a deep snow, how long will it take to get to the woods, besides, Ah Fu's short legs can't be buried in the snow." Gone."

Drew has been here since he was a child, and he doesn't think the snow is anything to worry about, but he saw Xie Wei'an's serious distress, so he didn't speak first, and after thinking about it, he pointed at Ah Fu. "Otherwise, let Fu and Barton stay in the cave. Leopards like Barton can't come out of the cave in winter. There are no wild animals in the forest at this time."

After thinking carefully about Drew's words for a while, Xie Wei'an nodded, "Okay, let Barton and Ah Fu stay at home and look after the house. Let's go find food. Look at the snow. Not to mention Ah Fu, it's hard for Barton to walk."

Drew nodded approvingly.

Now that the decision was made, Xie Wei'an coaxed Ah Fu, who had grown up a lot, back into the cave, while Barton returned to the cave wagging his tail without saying anything. , it wished to be alone with Ah Fu.The cave is warm and comfortable, and sleeping with Ah Fu in his arms couldn’t be more comfortable.

Xie Wei'an came out with a shovel and hatchet after letting Ah Fu lie on his legs and pampered her for a while.

Walking up to Drew who was waiting for him at the door, he gestured to the tool in his hand, "You can shovel off the snow while walking."

"Well," Drew nodded, and naturally bent down to take the shovel in Xie Wei'an's hand, "Let me do it."

In the face of things like physical labor, Xie Wei'an had already extinguished his desire to compete with Drew, and let go without much struggle, "Let's go."

So the two walked in front of each other to shovel the snow, and the other walked behind and walked slowly towards the forest.

The forest in winter is extraordinarily silent, except for the sound of Drew shoveling snow and the creaking of his feet stepping on the snow, only the sound of branches breaking because they cannot bear the weight of the snow.

Xie Wei'an followed Drew looking at the quiet snow scene, and involuntarily came to mind the documentary on the snow scene of Daxing'an Mountains that he watched on TV. Being in such an atmospheric environment, Xie Wei'an felt that his heart was immersed a lot.

Drew, who was opening the way ahead, didn't know Xie Wei'an's current mood. He just stopped when he saw a smear of red in front of him, stretched out his hand and folded it, then turned and handed it to Xie Wei'an, "Here."

Xie Wei'an, who came back to his senses because of Drew's words, looked down at the little red fruit stretched out in front of him, and looked up at Drew in doubt, "What is this?"

Drew shook off the snow on the small fruit and replied, "It's a red fruit, a unique fruit in the winter forest, and it tastes good." After thinking about it, he added, "We occasionally go out to look for food in winter. There are not many red fruits, and they can’t be used as a staple food. I just eat two of them in my spare time. The children in our tribe like to eat them very much.”

Xie Wei'an listened to Drew's explanation and took the red fruit with a smile, looked at him and said, "Then you treat me like a child?"

"No, I just want you to try it." Drew only pursed his lips and smiled, shook his head and explained, and then turned to shovel the snow.

Xie Wei'an lowered his head and looked again at the snack that Drew found for himself. It was small, red, and about the same size as a dogwood fruit. He raised his head and looked at the back of Drew working dully in front of him, and wiped the fruit with a smile. Put it into your mouth, and when you bite the pulp, a burst of sweet and sour juice spreads in your mouth, which is very appetizing.

As he walked, Xie Wei'an felt more and more that Drew seemed to be out to do business, but he was completely out for winter tours. Along the way, Drew could always find some snacks from nature to change his taste. The small red fruits, the stems of the plants that are sweet after peeling off the skin, and the branches like mint leaves that are cool in the mouth, Drew completely treats himself as a child.

Thinking of this, Xie Wei'an quickly took two steps and walked side by side with Drew, stuffed a branch in his hand into Drew's mouth, and asked with a smile, "Are you coaxing me like a child?"

Hearing Xie Wei'an ask this question again, Drew looked at Xie Wei'an's bright smile, nodded and shook his head, and said in a low voice, "The forest is very interesting, I want you to know more about it."

Such an answer made Xie Wei'an stunned for a moment, and then the smile on his face became thicker. He bumped into Drew's arm like two brothers, "Hey, I found that I did the right thing in rescuing you. Usually you can Talk to me to relieve boredom, and now you can also take me to have fun in the forest, and you can also find snacks for me, it’s really a lot of money.”

"Snacks? Make a lot of money?" Drew was a good student, and he brought up words he didn't understand as soon as he heard them.

"Uh... Snacks are things that you eat in your spare time in addition to the staple food and dinner," Xie Wei'an explained casually, "Making a lot of money means that one thing gets you more rewards than you imagined."

"Oh." Drew nodded understandingly, and said, "I made a lot of money when I met you. You told me a lot of things I didn't know."

Xie Wei'an was amused by Drew's active learning, he laughed and patted Drew's arm, "You are really a good student."

Drew saw Xie Wei'an laughing, and he laughed along with him. For a while, a happy atmosphere was rippling in a small area in the huge forest.

The two talked and laughed and walked all the way forward. When they reached a small hill, Drew stopped, and Xie Wei'an followed suit. He turned his head and asked Drew, "What's wrong?"

Drew put his index finger between his lips and made a silent movement, then lightly handed the shovel into Xie Wei'an's hand, and then tiptoed towards one direction.

Seeing Drew's cautious look, Xie Wei'an didn't dare to zoom in on his movements. He followed Drew and walked forward. After walking a distance of four to fifty meters, Drew stopped again, squinting his eyes towards After looking ahead for a while, he turned around and signaled Xie Wei'an to stay where he was, and then stepped forward with silent strides, bent down and stretched out his hands to grab the snow, and then Xie Wei'an just stared at Drew dumbfounded like pulling a carrot Blindly put forward two colorful pheasant-like animals.

Before Xie Wei'an could sigh, Drew snapped the necks of the two color-haired guys who were still a little dizzy before they could react, and took out the flexible branches that he didn't know when to pick them up. Stuck together and set aside.

Xie Wei'an just stood there and watched Drew's catch. In a blink of an eye, more than a dozen colorful chickens had been thrown around Drew. Come to yourself.

"Xie Wei'an?" Drew looked at the dumbfounded Xie Wei'an and waved his hand in front of him.

"Ah?" Xie Wei'an, who came back to his senses, looked at Drew with the expression of looking at an idol, and asked excitedly, pointing to the string of colorful chickens, "You, how did you catch it? It seems to be waiting for you there? Isn’t this too evil?!”

Undoubtedly, Drew was very satisfied with Xie Wei'an's reaction. He shook the prey in his hands and explained, "This is a colorful pheasant. In winter, they like to nest together for the winter, and when the temperature is low, they will react It will become very slow. This kind of prey is a bit stupid. When they nest in the holes dug out by themselves for the winter, the leader always likes to leave a feather on the tail outside. Generally, as long as you see this feather, you can be sure , there are not ten but twenty colorful pheasants around here. However, they are both stupid and smart. In the forests around our tribe, they are rarely seen now. They may be hiding in order to avoid our hunting. The depths of the forest are coming." As he spoke, Drew picked out in his arms, and more than a dozen eggs appeared in his big palm, "Since all the colorful pheasants have caught these eggs, no one will hatch them. Take it together."

Xie Wei'an understood after hearing Drew's explanation, but he still felt that the opponent was very powerful. He took the egg from Drew's hand and put it into the cloth bag he brought when he came, and asked, "Then we have to go grab the lottery Pheasant?"

Drew looked at today's trophies and shook his head, "No need, these are enough for us to eat for a few days. In a few days, the snow will melt and there will be more prey."

Xie Wei'an nodded after listening, "Then let's go back."

"Okay." Drew replied.

On the way back, even though Drew had already shoveled the snow and made a small path by the side when he came, Xie Wei'an still felt tired, and his pace began to slow down, but after a while, he was caught by Drew Found out, "Tired?"

"Ah? Ah." Xie Wei'an smiled and nodded in embarrassment.

Seeing Xie Wei'an's embarrassment, Drew also smiled, and conveniently broke a branch and handed it to Xie Wei'an, "I'll lead you along."

Xie Wei'an looked at the long branch handed in front of him, then at the corner of Drew's mouth, and grabbed the end of the branch without any hesitation, "Okay."

Seeing Xie Wei'an grabbing the branch, Drew grinned and turned around and walked slowly back the way he came.

In the still quiet forest, the sunlight scattered through the branches and leaves on the snow-covered ground. Two people with somewhat different statures were walking in this forest, and a slender branch connected them. One, occasionally, their voices would drift through the forest.

"Go back and make chicken stewed mushrooms for you. It's delicious."

"it is good."

"Use this egg to make custard. Make sure you haven't eaten it."

"it is good."

"Can you bring back some red fruit for Ah Fu to chew on?"

"it is good."

"Hey, can you say anything else besides being nice?"

"Ah."

"..."

"what happened?"

"I don't want to talk to you anymore."

"..."
