1942, I lived on hunting

Chapter 14: Looking for People

Li Hao sat on a stone beside the bonfire, boredly watching the flames of the bonfire. He thought a lot when he came to this era. He used to be busy running for life, busy, tired, poor, and everything made him breathless. As soon as he got home, he hurriedly ate something, washed up, lay on the bed and started looking at his phone. Mobile phones are good, there are short videos to watch, novels to read, and dramas to follow! His thoughts can never think about anything else, always stay where the public stays, and never escape the shackles.

Now, at this very moment, he no longer had to rush around for a living, and no longer had to be guided by other external things. His thoughts could extend freely, but he became even more confused!

"What do I want?"

Li Hao asked himself.

He knew that his previous life was not what he wanted, and he had never thought about the world of feasting and revelry. So what did he want then? What does he want now?

He doesn't even know what he wants!

The greatest sorrow of a person is that he knows what he doesn’t like, but he doesn’t know what he likes!

A person has only lived alone in the deserted wilderness for a few days, deliberately keeping himself busy every day, ignoring the sadness in his heart. The pain did not make him despair, and hunger did not make him lost, but the loneliness of a person easily knocked him down!

He sat by the campfire and tears fell.

He used to think he was very brave and that he could survive the hardships, but he never thought about being strong alone. Who is he showing his bravery to? Who knows about hard work and perseverance?

Now he was sitting on this stone, talking to himself.

He knew that he had a mental problem, but he didn't know how to solve it. The gap between the bustling city and the deserted wilderness was too big, and he had fallen to the point where he didn't even have anyone to call and talk to. He missed his parents and family madly, and he missed his friends who used to drink and chat with him madly.

He sat there in a daze until dawn!

A bonfire cannot heal the pain of a traveler, let alone a person who has traveled through time and space!

The warm light of the sun passed over the mountain ridge and shone onto the ground in the canyon and onto Li Hao's face and body.

At this moment he decided to pack up his equipment and go find his friends, even though he didn't know where his friends were, whether they were male or female, how old they were, or what they looked like!

Because he hasn't made any friends in this era, he needs to find them himself now!

He got up and dismantled the tent, folded it up and put it away, along with old clothes and other items. He took out the lunch box on the outer layer of the kettle, took out some water from the space and poured it into the lunch box, and put the lunch box on the campfire to boil water. He also spent 20 points to buy a set of nail clippers from the space supply area. He would wash his feet carefully and trim his toenails later. After all, he didn't know how far he would have to walk next, and protecting his feet well would allow him to walk further.

He first brushed his teeth and washed his face, then ate a pancake and a banana for breakfast. Then he quietly waited for the water to heat up, took off his shoes and carefully washed his feet. The lunch box was not big, and the water could not hold much, so he washed his feet several times before he cleaned them. He took out the nail clippers and carefully trimmed the long nails on his feet, and scraped off some dead skin on the soles of his feet. Then he put on socks and carefully wrapped his feet with a cloth strip, and tried them in his shoes. The tightness was just right.

After a final check, he found that all the things that should be taken away had been put away. He put out the bonfire with water and rushed to the water platform to get water. When he got to the water platform, he first got enough water for himself to drink for a month, and then got some more water for washing. Then he rushed to the field to retrieve the traps he had set. When he got to the field, he started to check the traps one by one. Today, he caught two pheasants, one male and one female. He no longer had the joy of harvest, and put all the traps into the space regardless of whether they were caught or not.

After collecting the traps, he thought carefully to see if he had missed anything. After confirming that there was nothing, he turned around and walked out of the mountain!

Walking in the canyon is the easiest way to get out of the unfamiliar mountains. You just need to find the streams along the canyon and walk downstream along the river. The streams will merge into small rivers, the small rivers will gather into big rivers, and the big rivers will flow to the sea.

People like rivers. Rivers are not only water sources, but also waterways. They bring sediments and nutrients needed for plants from distant mountains, forming plains to provide humans with a better living and production environment. They provide a stable irrigation water source for agricultural crops. The ancient ancestors first lived by the water and learned farming. Farming is the foundation of early civilization. Only farming can form villages and towns, and further develop civilization. Rivers are also the basis of early shipping and trade. Many of the early people's exchanges and transactions relied on rivers. In today's modern society, technology has made water transportation no longer restricted by natural rivers, but the development of cities is also inseparable from abundant water sources. If you observe carefully, you will find that all super-large cities have their own rivers to rely on. So it is certain that if you find a river, you can find people!

Li Hao walked downstream along the dried-up riverbed. Traces of farming could be seen from time to time beside the riverbed, but drought and war had forced the people to abandon their homes and leave their hometowns.

Li Hao walked along with a slingshot in his hand. He would shoot birds when he saw a suitable opportunity, but the harvest was not great as he did not focus his main energy on hunting.

He carefully observed his surroundings along the way to prevent any attacks. In fact, it was meaningless. The cliffs on both sides of the canyon were full of natural positions for ambushes. The weeds and bushes could hide the body well, and the large rocks were excellent cover. If the enemy really hid somewhere and shot at him, he would have no way to deal with it. He could only flee or be shot, without any means of counterattack. If it was night, that would be his home ground. With the blessing of night vision glasses, no one could ambush him.

When he has more points, he can buy a remote-controlled drone with infrared night vision, which is the kind used by some farm protection teams to help catch wild boars. He can control the drone to fly a reconnaissance mission wherever he wants. Anyway, in this era, there is no awareness or means to deal with night vision reconnaissance. I just don't know if drones can still be used without satellite and base station signals.

He walked all the way, and only stopped to rest when it got dark. Because the canyon was not a straight line, and he was very careful all the way, he didn't get out of the mountain after walking for a whole day. According to the straight-line distance, he only walked a dozen kilometers, but there were no accidents along the way.

He planned to take a break and eat something, then put on night vision goggles to move at night. He didn't have to worry about being attacked at night, and the night vision function would also allow him to move freely at night, and he could travel faster at night than during the day.

Li Hao sat on a clean big rock and opened the system. He first sold the birds he caught during the day for 90 points, then bought a bowl of spicy pepper and shredded pork rice and a bottle of fat house happy water from the system mall. In the past few days, I always tried my best to save points. Now I think it's unnecessary. Eat when you should eat and drink when you should drink. Don't take everything to heart. You can't make yourself depressed all day long. Being sad and upset will shorten your life, okay? I have to say that fat house happy water is indeed suitable for otakus. After Li Hao drank it, he felt happy.

After eating, I took out my night vision goggles and hung the axe on my chest so that I could take it out and chop at any time when I encountered danger. I used a wire rope to fix the hunting knife on a sturdy wooden stick to make a simple short spear, which can not only be used for self-defense, but also as a crutch to help me walk more easily.

After taking a quick look at the stars to identify the direction, he headed out of the canyon again.
