After a long nap, Gao Ming stretched and yawned. There was a rattan net and a rattan frame on the side of the road in the cave. Bujia was not in the cave. Gao Ming turned his head and saw Landa sleeping inside. He seemed to be sleeping soundly, and he was probably sleepy too.

Wrapped in leather and put on a vest lightly, Gao Ming opened the iron gate and went out to see Bu Jia feeding the red eyes. It was getting dark, Gao Ming asked: "Is it getting dark?!"

Bu Jia looked up Eyeing the sky, he nodded, "Tomorrow will be sunny."

"That's great! I'll go to the beach tomorrow to get something to eat, and I'll be in a good mood when the weather is clear." Gao Ming walked over to hug Buga and kissed him, and looked down at the food in the shed. Huan baa baa, smiled and said: "These guys seem to be getting fatter?"

"No need to look for food, eat and sleep every day." Bujia said. "We used to feed every two or three days, as long as we didn't die, we would not have much meat when we were very hungry."

"Why don't we pick more grass and store it?" Gao Ming asked puzzled.

"It won't be long." Bujia's eyes darkened, "Those tied outside the cave will either freeze to death or attract prey to attack in the cave."

Seeing that Bujia's condition is not good, Gao Ming asked the former Shenghua, interrupted, and said : "Bake fish soup at night, roast some piebald meat, and I'll probably be finished after two more meals."

Bujia nodded, put his arms around Gao Ming's shoulders, and said, "Go in, it's cold outside.

" The fish cut a piece of piebald meat, and the two carried it into the hole. Landa was still sleeping, and there was nothing to do, the two of them moved lightly without disturbing the sleeping Landa.

The fish and meat were washed in hot water, and fish soup was boiled in a deep pot. Gao Ming sliced ​​the leopard meat, marinated it with salt and chili noodles, and ate grilled meat with iron nets at night.

After finishing their work, Gao Ming and Bu Jia sat by the stove, the fish soup was simmering in the pot, and the aroma slowly came out. Gao Ming pinched Bujia's finger to play, felt that the atmosphere was not right, Bujia put one arm around Gao Ming, lowered his head and kissed Gao Ming, the two were inseparable from each other.

"Brother, Brother Xiao Ming?" Landa called out confusedly on the bed.

Gao Ming punched Bujia, and then Bujia let go, returning to a serious look, staring at Landa who was rubbing his eyes in a daze on the bed, and said seriously: "Sleep for a while?"

Landa moved Nose, said: "It smells so good!"

"Guess you were awakened by the smell, and you can drink soup after rinsing your mouth." Gao Ming said with a smile.

As soon as Landa heard about the food, he didn't care about his brother's cold face, and came down wrapped in leather. Gao Ming handed the vest to Landa, "Put it on, don't catch a cold."

"Cold?" Landa wondered road.

Gao Ming scooped up the fish soup with a wooden spoon and tasted it. The taste is light and you can cook it for a while, but... "Eat the barbecue first, and drink the soup after eating." Put the pot down and put it aside, Gao Ming set up the barbed wire, The chopsticks and meat slices are all placed on the small wooden table. If you want to eat it, you can grill it yourself. The pepper and salt are marinated in advance. If you think it is not spicy enough, you can put it yourself. Gao Ming laid out the leopard meat layer by layer, and explained: "It's just that you have a fever, sneeze, nose pain, and dizziness. In short, you are not feeling well."

Landa turned over the meat with chopsticks, nodded, and the cold was gone. Interest, he is now interested in barbecue.

Gao Ming scooped up three bowls of soup and handed them to the two brothers, "Drink some first, and drink some after eating." The

three of them sat on the stone bench, turning over slices of meat or taking a sip of hot fish soup. They really couldn't be comfortable.

After eating the barbecue meat, Gao Ming put the fish soup that had been cooled early on the stove to simmer. Gao Ming started to pack the luggage for going to the seaside tomorrow. He and Landa each carried a rattan frame on their backs, and the rattan net. Hot water, no need for food... lighter! Since they stabilized here, they haven't used a lighter. They kept the tinder every day. Gao Ming dug out the hidden lighter, and there was more than half of it left. He breathed a sigh of relief and brought it with me tomorrow! Still light a torch, just in case.

Gao Ming opened up the rattan net, and Landa put a lot of effort into it. The net is dense and strong, and it is a big one. There are long vines on the four ends, so it will be easy to harvest when the time comes.

After drinking the fish soup, even the meat in it was cleaned. The two brothers have been hungry, and they cherish the food they can eat. They never waste it, and they would rather eat to the full. Gao Ming also ate a little too much at night, and slept again at noon, and now he is in high spirits, and Landa is even more energetic. Only Bujia didn't sleep, but he looks very energetic.

Gao Ming roasted chestnuts with an iron net, and the three of them sat on the bed and chatted. Gao Ming saw that Landa was eating chestnuts like a child, and his mouth was full of scum, so he couldn't help joking: "Little Landa is like a child. My mouth is stained everywhere."

Landa wiped the scum from the corners of his mouth, his eyes were bent into crescents, and he said with a smile: "I will be an adult in the next snow season, Brother Xiaoming and my brother said that I can be an adult when I grow up. You are an outstanding hunter."

"Aren't you eighteen?" Gao Ming still doesn't understand the default rules of this world, he thought that eighteen-year-old Landa was already an adult, but Landa loves to laugh and has two canine teeth. It looks like a child.

"I'll be nineteen after the first snowfall." Landa wrung her fingers and said expectantly, "I'll grow up when the flowers bloom!" When the

flowers bloom, it's spring, and this is the winter snow season. Do you think You have given a ripening agent! Gao Ming stroked Landa's head without saying a word, he didn't believe that Landa could grow to Buga's size within a year. However, Landa's 20-year-old coming-of-age ceremony should be carefully prepared, and he couldn't help but smile: "When the first snow falls in the next snow season, Landa will become a hunter. Brother Xiao Ming will help you plan." Gao Ming couldn't help asking curiously: "Landa, what did your brother do when he was an adult?" As soon as

he mentioned this, Landa's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "My brother went out hunting alone, and when he came back, he carried a pig Tiger, Ah Mu was very happy. At that time, all the young and healthy women in the cave wanted to have children with my brother..."

"Oh?" Gao Ming looked at Bujia and asked, "Then your brother is not interested?"

"... ...Am's health was not very good at that time, I was young, and my brother had to take care of the two of us, so he didn't find those women to have children. Later, Amu's condition worsened, and we were kicked out of the cave." Landa Speaking of being a little sad at the end, he looked at Bujia in a low voice and said, "Brother, did I implicate you, or—"

Bujia quickly answered: "Stupid! I have Xiaoming now, and if I don't like them, I won't have children."

Landa was happy again when she heard this. Gao Ming peeled off the shell, amused in his heart, Bujia is still quite clever! The golden-yellow chestnuts peeled out of his hands were stuffed into Buga's mouth, and he smiled and said, "Eat chestnuts!"

Landa glanced at his brother and then at Gao Ming, and suddenly said: "When I grow up, I will also find someone who looks like me." Brother Xiaoming will make delicious food like this!"

"I'm afraid you'll find a hunter as powerful as your brother!" Gao Ming joked. Landa obviously admires Buga, and now he is like Buga because he is afraid that Landa will follow suit. For Landa, if Bujia finds a man to fall in love with, Landa will feel that it is right to do so!

"I think it's better to find a good hunter, so I don't have to worry about being hungry." Landa muttered to herself while peeling chestnuts.

The flame in the stove was dimmed, and Gao Ming yawned, "Wash up and go to sleep, I have to get up early tomorrow." It takes at least two hours from here to the beach, which is considered a fast pace.

Hot water was burning on the stove, first poured hot water into the bamboo tube, the three of them wiped their faces, washed their feet, rinsed their mouths, and finally chewed the green leaves, their mouths felt much more refreshed.

Landa and Gao Ming rolled onto the bed, and Buga opened the door with the dirty water from the stone basin and poured it under the tree roots. The snow had stopped, but the cold wind was blowing. After entering the cave, two or three sticks of firewood were added to the stove, and the cold cloth put Gao Ming on the bed.

In fact, Gao Ming was not too sleepy, knowing that Landa was not asleep, so he faced Bujia, leaned up to kiss him without saying a word, he liked to exchange a kiss after chewing green leaves, he felt no desire, and lived a warm life. Bujia seemed to know Gao Ming's thoughts, the hands around Gao Ming's waist didn't mess around, just exchanged a shallow kiss.

Bujia listened attentively to the movements of Landa in the bed, and when he heard that his breathing was even, he was overjoyed, looked down and couldn't help laughing, Xiao Ming also fell asleep.

At dawn the next day, the three of them woke up. They washed their faces and rinsed their mouths with hot water from the stove. Gao Ming buried three potatoes in the fire. Pour half of the pot of hot water into the bamboo tube, and the buried potatoes can be eaten. Pull them out, drink the hot water, bury the fire, wrap the potatoes with broken leather, and put a hole in the rattan frame on the back, insert it plug.

Passing by the shed, Gao Ming took out the forage from the rattan frame and put it into the card slot, poured the remaining hot water in the bamboo tube in his hand, threw the bamboo tube into the rattan frame, peeled off the warm potatoes and gnawed.

"Let's go!" Gao Ming spoke inarticulately.

The three of them came out early, and the sky was still slightly bright. Landa gnawed potatoes with a fire stick in one hand, and Bujia walked in the front with a big knife in his hand, and ate breakfast by the way. Empress Gao Ming, after eating potatoes, poured hot water into the kettle and drank a couple of sips, feeling refreshed.

The snow has stopped, but after a few days of heavy snow, everywhere you go, there is a thick layer. This place is not like modern times. No one destroys the snow. Occasionally, a few paw prints can be seen on the snow that is one foot thick. Bujia at this time Be especially vigilant.

The sun was slowly rising from the bottom of the mountain, and Gao Ming rubbed his face that was flushed with cold, and said with a smile: "It's rare to see the sun these days!"

Landa was in a particularly good mood, her face was flushed from the cold and she was not cold, so she stomped her feet, The snow on the sandals fell off, exposing the leather inside. Landa is clever and smart. He used to be hungry and had no time to think about it all day long. Now that he has free time, after the straw sandals are finished, he goes out to freeze his feet. Although it is better than bare feet, it is still cold, and he sits on the side of the road when he returns. Thinking with the straw sandals, my eyes lit up when I saw the broken leather that I didn't use. Now both brothers wrapped their feet in leather and put them in the straw sandals. They are non-slip and keep warm, but they are a little tighter. Fortunately, they loosen when they are worn. You can only wear it alone for activities, and only wrap it in leather when you go out.

Gao Ming was still wearing his cotton shoes, the glue on both sides had been peeled off, but he could make do with this winter.

When the three of them arrived at the beach, they felt that the temperature suddenly rose by a few degrees, and the blowing wind carried snow. Although it was cold, it was not biting. There is a thick layer of snow on the beach, and a wave hits, and the nearest place has exposed white fine sand.

Landa rushed over, knowing that the two brothers could swim, Gao Ming couldn't help but sigh that the two brothers were much better than him, they could hunt, climb trees and swim, although he could, it was just like those two dogs.

"Brother Xiao Ming, there are so many here..." Landa's voice was blown away by the wind, he tilted his head and thought for a while, and then said: "...It seems to be edible!"

Gao Ming ran over, Bujia followed, and arrived The waves, a dozen waves, really hit a lot of seafood on the beach.

"Damn it!" Gao Ming's face was filled with an expression of being overwhelmed, he couldn't believe it. There are a lot of prawns found on the beach, even though they are a size bigger than the ones in the modern market, they are really prawns! Gao Ming regretted not coming earlier, but he didn't see anything when he boiled salt last time, could it be because of the climate problem? Shrimp began to crawl on the soft sand, and a wave came over again, taking away a lot, but brought a few more octopuses.

"Landa, Bugat, take off your shoes!" Gao Ming quickly took off his shoes and threw them into the snow in the distance. He bent down and began to pick up shrimps and octopuses. He glanced at Landa who was already in a daze, and said with a smile: "Landa, these are delicious, pick them up and Xiao Ming will make them for you!"

Landa's eyes lit up when he heard that they were delicious. Like Gao Ming did just now, he peeled off the leather of the straw sandals and threw them into the snow. Bu Jia came over and took a look. He also took off his shoes. The three of them had two rattan frames, but the rattan frames were so big! Gao Ming handed the kettle and the bamboo tube to Bujia, and said: "Put it in the snow, if you don't worry, just let the wind, and Landa and I pick it up!" Not far away is the forest, and Gao Ming has not forgotten the existence of wolves.

Bujia took the things and put them away, lighting a torch with one hand, nodded and said, "I'm going to collect some firewood, and I won't go far."

Gao Ming nodded, his eyes quickly plunged into the beach, for fear of missing the delicious food.

Prawns, crabs, octopuses, scallops, and some things that Gao Ming doesn't know will also appear. The red shells of slapped palms, after breaking open, there are soft bodies with yellow and white stripes inside. Gao Ming can move when he pokes them. Becomes pale pink. Gao Ming looked at it interestingly and asked, "What is this Landa?

"

Gao Ming knocked on Landa's head, and said with a smile: "Snacks!" Throwing the red shell in his hand into the rattan box, "Try it if it's not poisonous when you go back!" The most prawns on the beach, the two of them soaked In the sea, I bent down to pick it up, after a while Gao Ming stretched his waist, and said to Landa: "Go up and rest for a while, my back is sore!" Looking at the weather, it was almost noon.

Bujia came back early, lit the fire, and saw two people coming up, carrying shoes.

"I'm wearing shoes." Buga handed the shoes to the two of them.

There was snow on the beach, Bujia cleaned a piece of it, and some of the innermost sand was still a little dry, and the firewood was also shaved off the outer layer of the tide, so it was finally lit. The two of them put on their shoes, and Gao Ming rubbed his red and swollen hands, but he felt a sense of accomplishment.

Landa's rattan frame was full, and his rattan frame was mostly too. If he picked up some shrimps in the afternoon, he could go back early and have a seafood feast in the evening. The three of them roasted on the fire, Gao Ming took out a deep pot from the alchemy technique, dug clean snow and put it on the fire to heat it up, cut the beard of the shrimp with scissors, washed it in hot water, and waited for the skin of the shrimp to turn pink. Da said in surprise, "Brother Xiaoming, it has turned red!"

After fishing out the shrimp, Gao Ming took out the barbed wire and put it on the fire. Shrimp were spread one by one, salt and chili were mixed together and wrapped in leather, Gao Ming sprinkled a layer of chili powder and salt on the shrimp, turned over, and said: "Let's just make do with it, and Brother Xiaoming will give it to you when I go back tonight." It 's ready." The

first shrimp was grilled, Gao Ming peeled off the shell and handed it to Landa, "Taste it!"

Landa was a little embarrassed, and whispered: "Brother Xiao Ming, give it to me, I will do it myself!"

"Open your mouth!" Gao Ming stuffed the shrimp into Landa's mouth, and teased, "Are you embarrassed now?! You are our younger brother, so you should be tight about anything." Buga mouth.

Landa chuckled, didn't say anything, peeled one and ate one in a clever manner, and said, "Brother Xiaoming, it's delicious, but you can't get enough."

"You guys are used to eating barbecue meat ." , Eat more and you will be full, just add something else when you go back." Gao Ming peeled off the shell, and his mouth was full of the taste of shrimp, which was more fresh and stronger than modern times.

After a simple lunch, Gao Ming Landa wanted to get off his slippers, but Bu Jia blocked him and said, "I'll go, you two will warm up here." Bu Jia went down to

the sea with the rattan frame on his back, while Landa and Gao Ming sat on the beach and warmed themselves by the fire. . Bujia moved quickly, and it didn't take long for the basket to be full. The three turned off the fire, Landa Gaoming was carrying the rattan frame, and Bujia was planning to go back with the fire stick.

"Wait!" Buga made a gesture, brushing away the thick snow, and put his ears on the ground.

Gao Minglanda had a serious expression, not daring to show his air.

Bujia looked dignified, stood up and looked at the two of them.

"What's wrong? Are there wolves?" Gao Ming asked.

Bujia shook his head, with a solemn expression, and said, "Someone is calling for help by the forest."

Gao Ming's expression stiffened a lot, and Landa didn't understand why. But Gao Ming knew why Bujia had a serious face. If he didn't have the golden finger of making iron, the pure and enthusiastic brothers would definitely save people, such as saving him back then. But now Buja was worried about him.

Landa was so affected by the atmosphere that he dared not speak, but kept looking towards the edge of the woods with his small eyes.

Gao Ming sighed from the bottom of his heart, what should come will come, and he can't just live with the three of them for the rest of his life. Besides, he doesn't want the simple, straightforward and kind-hearted brothers to become indifferent, and to be honest, Gao Ming can't bear the weight of a human life.

"Bujia be careful!" Gao Ming said.

Bujia paused holding the knife, looked at Gao Ming, and confirmed, "Yes?"

"Together, Landa and I will help you." Gao Ming put the rattan frame on the ground, and Landa followed suit. The two held daggers.

The three people led by Bujia began to move quickly towards the edge of the forest. Before they reached the forest, they heard the sound of howling wolves. Take advantage of the air to sneak attack!"

Randa nodded. Gao Ming joined the battlefield with a dagger in his hand. There were more wolves than last time. There were two strong men trapped. A corpse was lying on the ground. It was blood-stained and its internal organs had been ripped open by wolves. The eyes of the wolves were green. , with blood on his mouth, his eyes were red at first glance.

Because of Bujia's joining, the leading wolf seemed to be afraid. The two trapped men were overjoyed, and a wolf who was not paying attention jumped forward and bit off a man's arm.

"Mountain!" another man called.

The man named Shan was holding his arms, his face was full of pain, and he couldn't speak. Gao Ming put aside the grudges in his heart early at this time, no matter what, he couldn't let a person die in front of them.

Bujia killed two wolves, and the snake knife was really domineering, sharper than the wolf's claws. I saw that the wolves that had surrounded Bujia just now began to retreat and attack Gao Ming and another man.

Gao Ming held the short sword and tried his best to keep calm. Bujia taught him for so long, so he couldn't lose face with Bujia! He was a big man, Gao Ming stabbed the wolf that was rushing towards him with a sword, and the wolf howled and fell to the ground.

The welcoming Landa came in from behind with a torch and helped the injured man.

The five people were red-eyed, and at the end, the remaining four or five wolves howled and ran away in a desperate manner, grabbing the dead bodies before running away.

Gao Ming gasped, looked at Shan with his arms stretched out, the wound was torn big, bloody and bloody, Shan's face was pale and bloodless, Gao Ming touched Shan's pulse, shook his head and said: "The breath is very weak." He then Not a doctor, no surgery, no anti-inflammatory drugs.

Shan was not sad when he heard it, and looked at the bearded man, breathlessly said: "You have to survive."

The bearded man hugged Shan, choked up and said: "Shan!

" Let's go!" The smell of blood is too strong here, and it is easy to attract prey that eats carrion. He picked out a few wolves with intact skins and quickly skinned them. Landa watched and helped to skin them together.

Gao Ming searched for a long time but couldn't find the blood-covering grass, so he grabbed the skins and rubbed the snow with seven or eight skins against his body, Bu Jia looked at the lonely bearded man, and couldn't bear to say: "We are leaving, do you want to come? The

bearded man looked at Gao Ming and then at Bujia and Landa. Bujalanda nodded, his eyes were moist, and said: "My name is Sado." Then he knelt down on one foot, looked at the sky and made a gesture.

Gao Ming looked at Bujia blankly, and Bujia nodded to him, indicating that this person can be trusted.
