MTL - This Is My Primitive Tribe-Chapter 4 Ishiyama Koto
"Bangbangbang..."
"Woo, woo, woo..."
In the virgin forest, Jiang Xuan and the others hit the trees with bamboo while walking, and they made roars from time to time.
It has been two days since they left the bamboo forest. Jiang Xuan's injury is almost healed, and he can walk without any problem.
Ahead is the forest that the deer tribe hunting team has never set foot in, and there is no trace of human activity.
In such a place, it is no longer people who need to guard against, but those terrifying beasts.
When they left the bamboo forest, they each brought a small bamboo two-finger thick. This bamboo is not as tall as a moso bamboo, but it is very tough.
Bamboo hits trees and makes a loud, crisp sound, which is used to deter ferocious beasts. Generally, beasts will leave on their own when they hear such a big movement.
The red peony in front suddenly stopped and listened.
Jiang Xuan asked nervously, "What's wrong?"
Uncaria and others are also very nervous. In such a strange place, there are too many deadly dangers, and they are not sure when they will encounter them.
Chi Shao closed her eyes and listened carefully for a while: "There seems to be the sound of water flowing in front."
Jiang Xuan also listened carefully and nodded: "There is indeed the sound of water flowing."
Uncaria asked, "Are we going to go?"
Jiang Xuan thought for a while: "Let's go and have a look. I hope to find a place with a small river and flat land to live in."
The water resources in Nanhuang are very rich. There are mountain springs and streams everywhere, so there is no situation where wild beasts gather by the water. As long as you don't go into the water, it is relatively safe.
"Let's go then."
Chi Shao attaches great importance to her younger brother's opinion, because she is such a relative, so as long as Jiang Xuan's words are not too outrageous, she will not refute them.
A group of people walked along the sound of the water, and the road that no one walked was very difficult to walk. After walking for about an hour, they finally found the place where the sound of the water was heard.
"Crash..."
It was a small river with a width of about 20 meters. The flow rate was not fast. The water was very clear, and there were many fish swimming in it.
There are also large reeds growing by the river, about three or four meters high, very lush.
Standing on a huge rock, Jiang Xuan looked at the slowly flowing river in front of him, and said excitedly, "This is the river I'm looking for!"
Ten-year-old Nan Xing asked curiously, "Xuan, why are you looking for a small river?"
Jiang Xuan smiled mysteriously: "You will know later."
Nan Xing felt a little confused, but Jiang Xuan didn't say the reason, he couldn't do anything about it.
Chi Shao stood beside Jiang Xuan and asked, "Xuan, do we want to live here?"
For Chi Shao, it doesn't really matter where she lives, as long as Jiang Xuan is happy, after all, she is such a younger brother.
Jiang Xuan stood on the big rock, looked around, and shook his head: "There isn't much flat land here, so I can't live here. Let's go along the river bank and look for it."
Chishao didn't know why Jiang Xuan had to find a large piece of flat land, but she respected Jiang Xuan's choice.
"Okay, let's move on."
The five did not get close to the river bank, because the reeds were too high and dense, making it inconvenient to walk, and because there might be terrifying predators hidden inside, so they couldn't take this risk.
They were still walking in the forest. From time to time, Jiang Xuanli would climb up a tree, or stand on a high place to have a look, looking for a suitable place to live.
After walking for another half day, the time has come to the afternoon. If they can't find a suitable place to live, they have to find a place to spend the night.
When they climbed over a hillside, the front suddenly became bright and bright.
There is a large open field ahead, and the river turns a corner in the open field and continues to rush forward.
Jiang Xuan looked around, his eyes lit up, this is a good place!
Uncaria was also looking around, he suddenly saw something, pointed in one direction and exclaimed, "Look over there!"
Jiang Xuan looked in the direction pointed by Uncaria, and saw a scene that he will never forget!
At the end of the open field, there is a stone mountain several hundred meters high. The mountain is steep and there are cliffs on all sides.
An ancient vine, I don't know how many years it has been growing, the trunk is extremely thick, winding up along the mountain, and actually entangled the entire stone mountain, like a giant dragon coiled column!
"God, this is too big!"
Everyone was shocked, that vigorous ancient vine was bigger than any vine they had seen before.
In addition to being shocked, Jiang Xuan carefully observed the place.
He found that there are not only river bends and forests here, but also a bamboo forest at the foot of the stone mountain.
A small stream flows out of the bamboo forest, meanders all the way, passes through a large flat land, and finally joins the small river.
This is simply the perfect place to live!
Jiang Xuan said excitedly, "This is the place I'm looking for!"
Chi Shao came back to her senses and asked, "Xuan, do you want to live here?"
Jiang Xuan nodded and pointed to the bamboo forest at the foot of the stone mountain: "We will settle down by the creek beside that bamboo forest!"
"Then let's go, it's getting late, it's getting late."
Chi Shao walked forward first, Jiang Xuan immediately followed, followed by Uncaria, Shi Loach, and Nan Xing.
That ancient vine was really shocking, like a god.
Living at the foot of the stone mountain, you should be protected by the gods, right?
Tribal people worship gods, and they also firmly believe that as long as they believe in their hearts, gods will protect them.
There was no road on the ground, so the five of them overcame obstacles and walked for more than an hour, and finally reached the bamboo forest at the foot of the stone mountain.
The lush bamboo blocks the sun, and there are not many thorns and weeds under the bamboo forest, which makes people feel very comfortable.
Jiang Xuan found the stream following the sound of water.
He chose a relatively flat place beside the stream and said to Chi Shao, "Let's live here!"
Chi Shao looked at him: "You like it here, we live here. However, it's getting dark now, so we need to build a temporary shelter first and make a fire, otherwise it will be troublesome if we encounter wild beasts at night."
"it is good!"
Jiang Xuan said to the three teenagers, "Let's pick up some bamboo and build a temporary bamboo shed, and my sister will make a fire."
Chi Shao had no objection, and neither did the three teenagers, and they all started to work.
There are many dry bamboos in the bamboo forest. After the bamboos dry up, they will soon be eaten by insects, become rotten and fall down.
Jiang Xuan, Uncaria, and Loach, near the stream, pulled the fallen bamboos one by one to the chosen place.
Fresh bamboo is extremely tough, and it takes a lot of effort to get it down without a hatchet. uukanshu.com and a long time.
It is much easier to pick up these fallen bamboos.
After Jiang Xuan pulled the dry bamboo to the selected location, he found some tough vines, and then started to build a bamboo shed.
He chose a living bamboo as a support. First, between the two bamboos, at the height of one person, he tied a relatively intact bamboo as a beam.
Afterwards, other dry bamboos were placed on top of the beams, tied with rattan, and the excess branches were broken off to make a simple sloping bamboo shed.
Next, they spread a lot of moss, hay and bamboo leaves on the top of the bamboo shed to prevent it from raining at night.
Jiang Xuan took the three boys and spent about an hour to finally set up the bamboo shed.
At this time, the sun had already set, Chishao found a dry thorn tree, and then found a relatively hard dead tree, and then lit a bonfire with the plow method.
Then she cleaned up the dead branches and leaves near the bonfire to prevent the fire from spreading and accidentally igniting the bamboo forest.
Finally, she moved a lot of stones from the creek to surround the fire, so it was much safer.
As for firewood, there is no need to look for it at all. The large amount of dry bamboo in this bamboo forest is the best firewood.
When night finally came, Jiang Xuan and the five sat in the humble bamboo shed, watching the beating bonfire and eating the wild fruits picked on the road, their hearts calmed down a little.
At least, they won't have to run around tomorrow.
"Snapped!"
After the bamboos are burned in the fire, the air in the bamboo joints expands rapidly, causing the bamboos to burst and make a loud noise.
This sound scared away the nearby beasts and birds.
This is the most primitive firecracker, and it is also a means for tribal people to prevent beasts from attacking at night.
