The whole family travels through time: escape from famine! No cheat codes yet!
Chapter 87 The temperature drops suddenly, how to choose?
I really walked through thousands of mountains and forests, because there was no water at all. If I wanted to drink water, I had to dig a well myself.
They walked from the summer when the sun was scorching brightly on the earth to the late autumn and early winter. Now, not to mention being too hot on the road, they all wrapped themselves in layer upon layer.
Those who are walking are fine, as they are doing different kinds of exercises. The kids who are carried on their backs, and those who can sit in strollers from time to time, all wear cotton coats.
But wild cotton is not real cotton after all. If you think about it carefully, it is definitely not as warm as real cotton.
It is difficult to find even a cave in the wilderness. Even for sleeping at night, the shelters built are leaky everywhere, not to mention traveling in the cold wind during the day.
Take Shen Luming, who was carried on Shen Zhiqiu's back, for example. He wore three layers inside and three layers outside. He wore two layers of single clothes inside and a layer of cotton clothes outside, plus cotton socks and rain boots.
He wore a wolfskin hat on his head, which was deliberately designed to look like the kind worn in winter in the 1970s and 1980s. It had covers on both sides of the ears and could be tied around the neck to cover the ears and face. He also had a small blanket covering the outside.
As for those younger than Shen Luming, their situation is even worse. It is really not easy for such a young child to suffer like this.
What adults are most worried about now is that the kids can't hold on. Although it's not snowing, the wind is dry and cold.
When they hunted wolves before, everyone shouted and wanted to sell the whole wolf skin for money. This time, no one shouted that. The wolf skin was used to make a wolf skin hat for everyone, and there was no more left.
Some of the ear studs are made of other cloth and wild cotton, because there is only so much wolf skin.
At this time, everyone started to wonder why there weren’t more wolves coming?
Upon hearing this, Master Shen cursed:
"Are you a tiger? Do you really think that all of you can kill a wolf? There was no danger that time because there were more of us than wolves. We attacked them in groups and killed them. If there were more wolves, it would be hard to say whether you would hide them or they would kill you!"
The men who were cursing hurriedly tried to coax the old man, saying that they had said something wrong and asked the old man not to be angry.
They have sped up their journey in the past few days. There is really no other way. Although they have food and water, the elderly and children cannot withstand the cold weather.
Moreover, the temperature in the mountains has dropped sharply in the past few days, so the water-seeking team set out again, hoping to find a cave where they can spend the winter.
If there were no caves, they would have to dig holes in the ground to spend the winter in the next two days. They can still dig now, but they still want to live in a cave.
Shen Zhiqiu and the men in charge of each household decided to wait out the winter for now before continuing on their journey. If they found a cave, they would dig a well nearby.
If you can't find a cave, you have to dig a dugout and a well at the same time.
Shen Zhiqiu has been worried about everyone recently. Half of his face is swollen. Toothache is not a disease, but it hurts so much! This sentence is definitely not a random statement.
It was all thanks to Doctor Guo who prescribed medicine for him and helped relieve some of the pain.
However, Chinese medicine takes a long time to take effect, and Shen Zhiqiu was under too much pressure, so he didn't show any signs of improvement after several days.
So he spoke a little unclearly: "Grandpa, now the main thing is that I can't make up my mind to stay. I'm worried that there will be no water to dig. If it doesn't snow, I don't know if we have enough food. It's too difficult to make a decision."
Mr. Shen no longer has tobacco leaves, but he still touches his pipe out of habit when he has something on his mind:
"Water is the key. As for food, we should save some of the grass seeds and powder we have. Except for the kids, everyone should eat one meal a day. We should build a cave or a dugout, at least to keep warm. Otherwise, the kids won't be able to bear it."
In fact, this is something that everyone knows. The weather this year is particularly cold, dry and cold.
Even Mr. Shen himself said that this kind of horrible weather was something they had never experienced in their original village.
It is true that the weather in the south is much warmer than in the north, and even women and the elderly can hardly withstand the severe cold.
We also need to consider how to store food for the winter. If grandpa said we could only eat one meal a day, then that would definitely be enough to keep us from getting full.
Now the grass seeds have all fallen to the ground and we can’t get them anymore. We can only think of other ways.
The team meandered northward. After walking for another two hours, the ground suddenly became flat. The dry yellow grass on the road rustled in the cold wind.
Actually, building a thatched house is also a solution, but Shen Youyou reminded her father that in such severe cold weather, would it snow heavily and would it collapse the thatched house?
Just at this moment, the water-finding team came back. My brother-in-law Wang Fuxi was held in the middle by Dahu and Erhu, limping with bloodstains on his body.
Everyone was so frightened that Shen Zhiqiu hurried forward and asked anxiously in a vague voice: "What happened? What happened?"
Although Wang Fuxi's body was covered in blood, he was the first to say excitedly, "There were wild boars, two big ones and four small ones. We accidentally injured them when we killed them. But the wild boars still ran away. Da Hu and Er Hu chased them and found that they had entered a cave."
Shen Zhiqiu was startled: "Cave?"
Da Hu's face flushed with excitement: "There are only a few of them. We were afraid they would run away again, so we came back to call for help."
Having said that, there is nothing else to say. Even if there is no cave, they will have to fight against wild boars if they encounter them. They haven't eaten meat for a long time.
What's more, there was the cave they had been dreaming of, so a group of people rushed towards the wild boar.
But we stopped far away from the cave and couldn't go all the way.
Shen Zhiqiu said to the boys, "You just wait here. Even if your brother-in-law is injured, stay here. Boys, protect your grandparents, mother, and your brother and sister-in-law. Let's go and kill the wild boar."
When Shen Zhiqiu saw the wild boars, his breathing became rapid. He was not excited but scared. Do you know how big these two were?
The females weigh about 600 to 700 kilograms, and the males weigh over a thousand kilograms, with the help of four hooves weighing another 200 to 300 kilograms.
When the wild boar saw them coming out, it felt the ground shaking.
You know, although wild boars are pigs, they are very strong in combat.
There is an old saying among hunters: "One pig, two bears, and three tigers". These animals are not to be messed with. The wild boar ranks first and has become the number one beast that hunters cannot mess with.
Unlike domestic pigs, wild boars retain more of their primitive wildness.
They are covered with tough bristles, have strong limbs and well-developed muscle lines, showing a ruggedness different from domestic pigs.
Especially the sharp fangs in their mouths, which can easily tear the flesh of their prey.
This also gives wild boars powerful fighting power.
The most terrifying thing is that wild boars are brave and aggressive. Once they are injured, they will not run away immediately, but will seek "revenge". They will rush directly towards the opponent and attack until they bite the opponent to death.
Now you know why Shen Zhiqiu reacted like this,
The boar weighing more than a thousand pounds rushed towards them like a small tank when it saw them.
