Wildness of the Plane

The next day Kuang Qian woke up early, took out the toothbrush and towels in the warehouse, ran to the big water tank to get some water to brush his teeth and wash his face, the cold water drove away the last bit of drowsiness, he felt refreshed immediately, and looked at the sky The golden morning light gradually dyed the eastern sky red, and the high mountain peaks were dyed crimson by the brilliant clouds.Take a deep breath, the fresh air is much better than the high-rise metropolis.

"Kuang Qian, wake up." Kate carried a pig-like animal on her back, which was not too big. Compared with those animals that were several times larger than humans yesterday, this one could only be regarded as a cub.

"Good morning, Kate." Kuang Qian walked over, watched Kate step aside and put down the animal's body, took out a stone knife from behind, and laboriously cut the skin of the animal's neck.

"Are you going hunting so early?" Kuang Qian knew that some people in the tribe went to the forest to hunt for food every day. The risk was very high. First of all, there were many strong beasts in the forest, which were not easy to hunt, and it was possible Injured, in this place where there is no medical equipment and no people who know how to use drugs, once injured, you can only rely on your own immunity to fight it.Secondly, in winter, most animals have to hibernate, and they hide in hidden places. It is even more difficult to find food, and there is a severe shortage of food.

"Yeah, I'm not strong enough, so I can only hunt some small animals earlier, and then have more time to do other things." While talking, Kate kept her hand, and the stone knife cut the animal's neck back and forth more than a dozen times. Cutting through, we can see the "sharpness" of this stone knife.

After finally making a cut, Kate put down the stone knife, pulled the cut with both hands, and tore it vigorously, blood overflowed everywhere, so bloody.

Kate mainly tore it with her hands, supplemented by a stone knife, and tore off the animal skin. Although there was still some flesh and blood on the animal skin, it was a complete animal skin anyway.Seeing that Kate's hands were covered in blood, Kuang Qian walked to the big water tank, took the small stone bucket next to it, filled it with water, and handed it to Kate to wash her hands.

Kate accepted the bucket, thanked her, and carefully poured out a little water to wash her hands.

Kuang Qian saw that Kate only used a little water, which was less than what he used to brush his teeth and wash his face, so he asked, "If you can't wash it like this, let me pour it for you." After speaking, he picked up the bucket and pointed it at Kate's hand down.

Kate was startled, and quickly snatched the bucket over. Seeing most of the water poured on the ground, she felt distressed and angry at the same time, but seeing Kwong Qian's puzzled eyes, the kind-hearted Kate couldn't say anything to blame, so she had to patiently talk to Kwong. Qian explained: "Our tribe does not have much water, it can only be used for the most basic needs of the tribe, and it cannot be wasted like this."

Kuang Qian felt strange, "Why don't you carry more water?"

Kate's expression darkened, and she replied: "Our tribe has few people, and the strong tribe still has to hunt. There are not many people who can carry water, and the place is far away from the tribe, so we can only go back and forth once a day."

Water is essential to the human body. People who do not eat can last for more than ten days, but they can only last for three days without water, which shows the preciousness of water.

"sorry, I do not know."

Kate changed her previous depression, patted Kuang Qian on the shoulder, and said with a hearty smile: "It's okay, just pay attention next time."

Kuang Qian grinned his teeth as he was photographed, thinking, aren't you really out to take revenge?

Kate skillfully washed her hands with a small amount of water, then picked up the animal skin and meat and gave them to a young man with yellow hair.

This man is not as strong and tall as the one he saw before, but a little thin.Kuang Qian has a vague idea in his heart. The tall and strong ones are the backbone of the tribe. They are mainly responsible for hunting and protecting the tribe. Almost all of them are around 190 in height, with strong muscles and full of strength. There is also Kate, who is about 180 in height. He has a well-proportioned figure and has muscles due to long-term work, but he is weaker than those tall people. He is mainly responsible for carrying water and tanning animal skins. Like Kate, he hunts prey purely because he wants to do more for his tribe; Some of them are like the thin man in front of him. Due to congenital conditions or acquired injuries, he is unable to participate in work that requires strength. He can only cook, that is, simple barbecue, and help with tanning animal skins. Other children and the elderly are also within their capabilities. Hit the range, or pick wild fruits.

At this time, Kate gave the skin and meat to the thin man, "Neil, please."

The man named Neil smiled, and while placing the animal meat in a stone bucket, he used a small stone knife to carefully remove the minced meat from the animal hide, and said, "What's the trouble, you kid?" I ran off to hunt again, and Xiao Qi came back to teach you a lesson."

Kate patted her head in embarrassment and replied: "I don't want to help, and I'm just looking for small animals at the edge of the forest. It's not dangerous. Don't tell Qi, he likes to worry about nothing."

While listening to their chat, Kuang Qian wondered who the Qi they were talking about, and felt that Kate was a little afraid of him, while watching Neil quickly remove the minced meat, then took out some white powder and sprinkled it evenly on the beast on the skin, and then began to rub it constantly.

"Hehe," Neil looked at Kate blushing funnyly, and stopped teasing him, but looked at Kuang Qian, "You are Kuang Qian, welcome to our tribe."

"Thank you." Kuang Qian came back to his senses, looked at Neil's smiling face, and lamented that the people in this tribe are so enthusiastic.

"I see you've been staring at me making animal skins, do you want to do it?"

"No, I'm just curious how to do it." Kuang Qian smiled.

"Can't you? Everyone in the tribe knows it, but you can't?" Neil looked at Kuang Qian in surprise.

Kuang Qian thought silently, I can tell you that I am not from the tribe here, but from the earth, and the earth people do not need to use animal skins to make clothes, even if they like animal skins, there are special factories to make them beautiful and comfortable , and the price is still expensive.Of course, they also thought that the earth was the name of a certain tribe, and they didn't respond like the patriarch.

Seeing that Kuang Qian didn't speak, Neil thought he was ashamed that he didn't even know how to tan the most basic animal hides. He patted Kuang Qian's shoulder thinking he knew what Kuang Qian was thinking, and said, "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, it's easy to learn." of."

""

As Neil chattered, Kate added from time to time that Kuang Qian understood how they tanned animal hides.First, remove the minced meat from the animal skin, then use a special rock, white stone, a white and brittle stone, to make it into powder, apply it on the animal skin, and keep kneading it to make the animal skin become soft. Soft, and then sprinkle a kind of juice called insect repelling grass, apply it on the hide, let it stand for a while, kill the bugs on the hide, and finally rub the juice of a fragrant flower to make the hide not so smelly Well, these kinds of materials have different tastes, plus there is not enough water to wash them, the smell of blood and the smell of animals, even if you put on perfume at the end, it can't cover up the strange smell, and the softened animal skin is just Compared with the original softness, it is still a bit hard and cuts the skin, but these people are all rough-skinned and thick-skinned, so they don't feel anything.

Kuang Qian is not interested in tanning animal skins, nor capable of hunting, nor can he pick wild fruits with a group of children and old people, so he plans to follow Kate to fetch water.

After explaining to Kate that he wants to help, Kate can see that Kate is very happy. He thinks that Kwong Qian's willingness to help means that he wants to integrate into this group and stay. Kate, who is overthinking, naturally doesn't know that Kwong Qian simply doesn't like to owe favors to others. The tribe rescued him and provided him with shelter and food, so they naturally wanted to repay them.
