prehistoric modern man

Before long, the brown female goat's belly began to grow, and the culprit continued to have fun.

Ji Chi waited secretly for the expansion of the sheepfold.

There is already enough food, and with the ever-increasing "livestock", they don't have to go hunting at all when the winter is coldest.

The food and clothing problem was solved, and there was no worries, but Ji Chi didn't want to calm down, wrapped himself in a warm animal fur coat and went to the woods behind the house.

Poria cocos does not grow here, and the daily staple food can only be meat. He wants to pick some non-toxic ferns, and see if he can eat them with meat.

A whole piece of fern, Ji Chi rubbed his hands, and picked some that looked pleasing to the eye first.

When walking, you have to pass through the herbaceous plants on the periphery. The velvet flowers floating around the island come from these plants.

Ji Chi held the bracken in one hand and randomly picked up the seeds of a sorghum-like plant in the other, and rubbed them in his palm. The outer shell of the round seed split instantly, revealing the round and smooth white seeds inside.

Ji Chi sniffed it, but he didn't smell anything. He put it in his mouth and crunched it, and the taste came out immediately. It was sweet with a hint of rice milk, and hard with a crisp.

Ji Chi thought for a moment, then rolled it down and brought it back.

The imam added water to the pot, and when the water boiled, Ji Chi stopped him, took out more than half of the water, and sprinkled the white seeds in his hand.

He wants to try to see if this thing can be eaten.

The imam sat down next to him, although he didn't know what it was, he still had a look of expectation, staring at the round white thing in the pot with him, waiting for it to cook slowly.

When it was almost cooked, Ji Chi scooped it up with a wooden spoon and put it into his mouth. It had a strong sweet taste, with some moisture, and the taste was similar to corn.

Ji Chi was pleasantly surprised, and as soon as he handed over the spoon, the imam took a sip too.

The Imam's eyes lit up: "It's delicious."

The two of them ate some meat in a hurry, took the wooden baskets and started to collect the "milk".

In the evening, Ji Chi wove a big bucket out of rattan, poured all the baskets of sorghum that had been shelled into it, and poured half of the basket into the boiling stone pot. The two sat at the table, guarding the empty bowl. Wait to be cooked.

The sorghum was not yet cooked, but a strong wind suddenly blew outside, and within a few minutes, yellow sand mixed with branches and leaves began to fly all over the sky.

The two got up abruptly and ran outside, bringing in a bucket full of sorghum.

I was relieved now, but Ji Chi still looked at the fence in the yard. The long-haired rabbits were blown and squeezed to one side of the fence, and then looked at the sheepfold. Coincidentally, the damn goat was about to give birth, and kept on Calling, looking carefully, the lamb has already shown its head.

If it really came out, wouldn't that little thing be blown away by the strong wind...

Ji Chi hurried out, halfway there, he suddenly staggered a few steps, and was about to fall down along the direction of the wind, fortunately, someone grabbed him before he fell face-to-face on the ground.

The imam took his hand, blocked the raging wind with his body, and stared at him as if he saw something strange.

Ji Chi stood up straight with a calm face and suddenly wanted to laugh, so he laughed. In an instant, yellow sand was poured into his mouth and nose, his chest was suffocated, and his breathing stopped. He immediately pursed his lips and walked towards the sheepfold .

The goat kid and the mother goat were pulled into the house by them, and they were placed in the room on the left, and all the things inside were put on the kang.

The sorghum has been cooked for so long, so the two cleaned it up, and each of them started to eat a large bowl.

The sweet aroma in the mouth makes you feel full after eating.

During the meal time, the outside became quiet, and the two entered the room early.

When it was completely dark, the first snow before winter began to fall outside. From the first snow the size of sorghum grains to the heavy snow of goose feathers, it became bigger and bigger. When it landed, part of it turned into water, followed by the falling snow The snow melts into ice together, announcing the arrival of winter.

It snowed before the sorghum was confiscated, which made it even more troublesome for them to collect it.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and they had nothing to do except to check the traps every day, and then feed the livestock and feed the two of them when they came back. Now they had something to do.

In a month's time, the whole island's sorghum was finally searched by them.

On the floor of the room on the left, the kang is covered with straw mats, and a large piece of slightly damp sorghum grains are spread on it.

The mother goats were all born, and the lambs, who were already self-reliant, jumped up and down on the snow in the sheepfold all day, causing a commotion, and finally they were swooped by the largest alpaca and hit the fence before they calmed down.

And the number of long-haired rabbits in the other pen is increasing day by day, but they are extremely quiet. Apart from eating, they gather together in a sleepy group, completely looking like they are waiting to be slaughtered.

After the sorghum was completely put into the net bag and wooden barrel, Ji Chi killed a long-haired rabbit, cleaned it up neatly while the imam was cooking the sorghum, chopped it into pieces with a knife made of stone, and put it into another stone pot. Stir fry with bracken.

They also picked all the bracken in the forest and made it into pickles, which can be eaten raw or fried.

The imam likes to eat stir-fried ones, and eat them with boiled sorghum. He will never get tired of eating them.

A rabbit and a large pot of sorghum made them full, and they lay idly on the warm kang, waiting for Tianshan and Sanxi to be dark,

At this time, the surface of the lake was frozen, but it was not solid, so they could not go out, except to take care of the livestock and eat, drink and sleep.

After a while, the lake finally couldn't stand the colder weather and completely froze.

The two hurried in and out, wrapped themselves into rice dumplings, and left the island.

The surface of the lake was smooth and cold, with a chill.

Ji Chi suddenly remembered how happy he was when he was skating when he was a child. At that time, he was innocent, and a little bit of happiness could forget everything. Unlike now, no amount of happy things can match the worry in his heart. No matter how long it takes, he still misses .

He wiped the ice off his eyelashes, threw the raft, and motioned to the imam, "Sit!"

The imam thought for a while, took the oar and sat on it.

When he was trying to paddle, Ji Chi suddenly picked up the rattan tied to the raft and ran vigorously.

"..."

The matter came suddenly, but the imam didn't shout, and held on to the edge of the raft tightly, with a rare smile on his face.

Ji Chi was tired from running, so he sat in the imam's seat and asked him to help him.

The strength of the two was incomparable, and Ji Chi felt that he was flying.

After repeating this, the two of them stopped and spread out on the cold ice when they were both tired.

The winter sun has no temperature and is not dazzling. Ji Chi lay on his back in a large font, stared directly at the sun that seemed hazy after being blocked by clouds for a while, closed his eyes and panted violently.

After a few breaths, his body sank suddenly, being pressed by something, and at the same time, there was a soft, cold touch on his face.

Ji Chi opened his eyes suddenly.

The imam's eyes were bright, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he leaned over him with his body propped up.

When Ji Chi opened his eyes, he suddenly stopped laughing, a slightly awkward look flashed in his eyes, and he stood up abruptly.

Ji Chi sat up thoughtfully and glanced at the imam's back.

After getting along for such a long time, Ji Chi also got to know him a little bit. All along, he has been silently expressing his closeness, gratitude and curiosity, and he also has a little protective desire. go straight.

Ji Chi's thoughts went back and forth a few times, and he got up and walked towards the forest.

After not coming out for a long time, the prey in the trap hole were all dead, and the ones caught in the canes were only bloody and frozen bones, apparently eaten by other animals.

The two tied all the dead things together, flung them across the ice, and pulled them back to the island with ease.

It is very troublesome to deal with the frozen prey. After two days, they only started to clean up on the third day.

The lake is frozen, and the hungry beasts are likely to come to the island along the ice.The two went out every two days, and they began to be vigilant at night.

With the doors and windows closed, the two of them are safe. What they should worry about is the hard-working livestock outside, and they can't be cheap.

Just in case, Ji Chi built a tall and strong fence around the yard, down two floors, and finally he can feel at ease.

The long and cold winter continued, and the weather became colder every day. Ji Chi blocked the doors and windows tightly with extra animal skins, and there was a brazier in the room all day long, so the two of them could take off their heavy animal skin clothes , move easily.

No matter how the world is turned upside down outside, they still repeat the same life. They go out to take care of the livestock during the day, and then prepare food for the two of them. At night, they sit on the warm kang and eat dried fruits. Dreamland.

During the coldest winter, Ji Chi wrapped himself into a ball, shivered and built a straw shed for the livestock, and put some hay under it that they didn't like to eat, so he took care of it.

During this time, the two hardly ever went out, and sat in front of the fire all day, waiting for the end of winter.

The stock of food was decreasing, and the livestock they raised were thrown into the pot one by one. Finally, when the long-haired rabbit had only a dozen cubs left, they ushered in the last sleet of winter.

On the second day after the snowfall, the two wore thin clothes, opened the doors and windows, and took a wooden shovel to clear the snow in the yard.

The ice in the lake has long since melted, and the river in front of the yard is rushing, announcing the end of winter.

Winter goes to spring, everything recovers, and soon there will be another summer.

Time flies too fast, this is already Ji Chi's third summer here.

He is more or less used to life in the forest, and rarely thinks about the past, because he now has a home of his own.

Although it is not very complete, at least there is no need to be afraid of when suddenly a person will be displaced.

Life in summer is relatively leisurely, all because food and clothing are guaranteed.

The two still hunted and stored food, raised livestock, and lived a leisurely and regular life.

Ji Chi forced himself to accept this kind of life in his heart, and if there were no accidents, he would be like this for many years to come.

But an accident happened, on the day they first set foot on the other side of the lake on a raft that had been sitting for several hours.

The author has something to say: I will consider the suggestions and opinions in the comments.

Regarding the imam, he is not cannon fodder and has his own feelings and endings.
