In view of the fact that Huang Yan ate a roasted bird by himself for dinner yesterday, as soon as Chen Chao stepped out of the cave today, he found that the outside was full of little kids pulling straw ropes, staring straight at the little kid who was caught. The slate supported by sticks, just wait for any unlucky egg to get the bait, and then you can add a delicious roasted bird to dinner.
It seems that it will be difficult to hear the beautiful bird calls in the morning...
It's all "chirp... chirp... smack!"
Chen Chao looked up at the sky, there were dark clouds covering the top, and there was a feeling that a storm was coming.
Only the collection team went out early in the morning, and the members of the hunting team only fished in rattan baskets by the river, hoping to collect more food before it rained.
After all, it's no joke to get caught in the rain and catch a cold. If you're not careful, you'll die.
While the members of the hunting team were fishing, Chen Chao asked them to keep the swim bladder for themselves when handling the fish. After using the swim bladder glue, and adding the moa feathers from before, the spear could be equipped with a balance function. The rear wing is up.
It can be called a javelin with a tail fin, but it is not necessary for the time being. After finding relatively straight wood, you can also consider making bows and arrows.
The collection team finally came back before the rain, but the harvest was not particularly large, only about 5-60. Now that there are rattan baskets, the fruit does not need to be poured directly on the ground.
Chen Chao found that although the collection team went out with 19 people each time, the fruits collected were basically only enough for 2 people in the tribe. On average, each person only picked 5-6 fruits, which was even less when there were no rattan baskets. , basically each person can only get one.
But it's normal to think about it. Before the exclusive collection place is discovered, it is similar to a large fruit forest. Every kind of food that humans can eat is bought at the price of life.
And it's going to rain today, and we didn't go far, so it's normal for the collection team to harvest less, but fortunately, it's near the river, so there are enough fish to eat today.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, Chao Chen shuddered. It was really an autumn rain and a cold one. You have to wear cotton for ten autumn rains.
Not to mention wearing cotton, now everyone is basically naked, that is, after the appearance of rattan baskets, part of the animal skins were liberated, and adult men were wrapped in animal skins around their waists. As for women, children and the elderly, only The witch has an animal skin on her body.
But these animal skins are a bit hard to describe...
That is to say, the animal skins on myself, Yuan and Wu are better, while the animal skins on other people, because they have not been tanned, are cracked, dry, smelly, and depilated, so they are considered fresh. There is also an unbearable fishy smell. If you stand towards the air outlet, people in the lower air outlet will have to spit out everything they eat.
The moa can only use hair, and after removing the hair, the skin can be eaten, and wild boar skin can't be used to wear, but it can be used to make leather shoes, but now who is willing to wear animal skin on their feet.
Counting now, the people in the tribe don’t have two animal skins. I’m afraid they won’t be able to spread one and cover the other in winter, and use hay to make do with it. Way to squeeze with grown men.
Rabbit skins are not useful for the time being. If all 10 rabbits are killed, the skins are only enough for one person to cover. Now there are only 20 rabbits in the tribe, and they are expected to have sons and grandchildren. It is really impossible to raise them until winter. The whole tribe eats a meal of fresh meat.
Didn't you see a lynx last time? This thing is a bobcat. The body is like a cat but much larger than a cat, and the body length of a lynx is about 80-130cm, which can cover a child alone. In that case, 3 pieces of lynx skin can wrap an adult. If you can get dozens of skins Damn, isn't it more fragrant than rabbit fur and wild boar skin now...
But this thing is a solitary animal...
But if there is a lynx in that area, then there should be many lynxes living in this mountain, right
That's it for you!
Chen Chao laughed and said, Goldfinger!
The scenery in a radius of ten miles kept switching in Chen Chao's eyes, the rain falling from the treetops, the leaves trembling in the wind, the chestnuts knocked off the branches by the rain, the family of rabbits curled up in the hole, and those who were feeding their partners. Lynx licking fur!
Um? Chestnut
The characteristics of chestnuts are quite obvious, and now is the season of ripening in autumn! But why have you never seen it in the fruit brought back by the collection team
Moreover, chestnuts can be eaten raw. After marking the chestnut forest, Chen Chao turned his attention to the lynxes.
Not all of them lived alone. Super Chen saw several lynx families, but some of them moved alone. I marked the location and found a total of 10 pairs of lynxes with children, each with an average of more than 2 children, and there are about 2-30 lynxes alone, but because they are too scattered, it is not good to buy one pot, so it is not cost-effective.
If all the family-based lynxes can be taken down, most of the people in the tribe can get a piece of leather. This is the most ideal situation, but it’s useless to think too much now. Get these lynx skins.
It's just that regardless of whether the lynx skin can be obtained at that time, the tanning of the leather must be put on the agenda. After all, winter is coming soon, and the leather must be tanned before winter.
Animal skins that have not been tanned are firstly uncomfortable to wear, and secondly, they are not durable, let alone years, they will crack and harden after not being worn for a long time.
Thinking of this, Chen Chao gestured to Wu and said, if there is any plant ash recently, just keep it, he is useful.
Wu nodded. He picked up the cracked clay pot again, pointed to the pottery embryo placed in the corner of the cave, then pointed to the pottery pot in his hand, and asked Super Chen with gestures, "Clay pot, rain."
Chen Chao thought for a while, and felt that what Wu wanted to ask should be, if it rains, will it affect the making of clay pots. He shook his head and said no.
Listening to the sound of raindrops hitting the trees, I felt that I would not go out today anyway, and I should call the children to learn Mandarin.
Otherwise, the communication will be guesswork.
A group of children sat beside Wu under the leadership of Huang Yan. Chen Chao pointed to the clay pot in Wu's hand and said, "Pot, pot, it's broken."
Wu and the children also repeated, "The pottery pot is broken."
Pointing to the crack again, "The pottery, pot, broken, broken, cracked, cracked."
"Pottery, pot, broken, broken, cracked, cracked."
Chen Chao pointed to the outside of the cave again, "It's raining."
"We, we, are in, mountain, cave, in."
The other people in the tribe also gathered around curiously, and those who were willing to learn also followed Wu and the others. Every sentence had to be repeated 3-5 times on average to have a correct and coherent pronunciation.
