prehistoric modern man

The others looked at the small house, studied it enviously with Shan for a while, and went back to bring a pile of dry firewood, hoping that Ji Chi could make a similar one for them.

Ji Chi glanced at the crooked wood of different thicknesses and felt a headache.

After hesitating for a while, he picked out the straight and thick tree branches from their expectant eyes, and then put the end of each tree branch crossed with the other, and tied the intersection with rattan, and stood it up. triangular shelf.

Tie the intersections of all the tripods together, stand them up, spread animal skins, and a person can lie in it, which looks like the hut they built in the forest.

Although it was different from his, they were still very satisfied, and they took back the dry firewood one after another to follow Ji Chi's method.

Yu Wu got into the house again.

Ji Chi sat by the fire, added some firewood, tightened the animal skin on his body, and began to use the remaining wood to make a triangular frame.

After making a rectangular frame, he took the knife to make the concave cut much more smoothly and faster, but after finishing the two frames, it was already dark.

Yu Yu was sitting opposite and cooking soup.

The people who went out to hunt hadn't come back yet, and the women who had been waiting for a day couldn't sit still and kept walking back and forth in the cave.

The snow outside has not stopped for a day, and the thickness is almost to the knees, and the hole is blocked as it was in the morning.

In fact, they wanted to remove the snow when they finished building the triangular house, but Ji Chi refused.What surprised him was that they didn't insist on it, but instead showed a look of trust in him.

After being blocked by snow, the cave is no longer like an open field, and it is much warmer.

The two ends of Ji Chi's frame are triangles, and the three sides in the middle are rectangles. The rectangle stands upright, squatting down, barely able to get a person inside.

The two frames can be connected or separated.

Ji Chi thought for a while, picked up the longest rattan, and started to circle it from one end of the frame for support.

A few long canes were used, and finally a space with a closed middle and open ends came out.

Ji Chi picked up one of them and walked to the snowdrift at the entrance of the cave, dug a slightly upward-sloping hole at half a person's height, pushed the frame in, adjusted it, and formed a triangular hole.

He tried to climb out to have a look. It was a bit inconvenient, but he didn't have to worry about when the hole would be blocked.

At this time, there was a sound of stepping on the snow behind him, probably the men who had gone out came back.

Ji Chi climbed in first.

The people inside gathered around the entrance of the cave, watching Ji Chi crawl in, and then the men covered in cold wind came out one by one.

Instead of hunting prey, they brought a pile of frozen bark and some frozen rotten wild fruits.

After going out for a day, their bodies seemed to have no temperature, and they stood at the entrance of the hole like sculptures made of ice blocks, studying the small hole supported by the frame.

After the women's explanations, they knew that it was made by Ji Chi, and for the first time after the surprise, they looked straight at Ji Chi, with approval and a trace of understanding on their indifferent faces.

After the crowd dispersed, Ji Chi took another frame, climbed in, and connected it to the edge of the frame at the end of the hole. After this extension, the only hole would be blocked without fear of heavy snowfall.

After eating the remaining half of the wolf meat, Ji Chi put out the fire and got into the hut inside the wall.

It was dark inside, but very warm.

Yu Wu had already been lying in it.

After entering, Ji Chi took off his heavy clothes and trousers, and lay down next to Yu Yu. Just as he was about to sleep comfortably, a body pressed over him, twisted a few times, found a comfortable position, and then stopped moving.

Ji Chi sighed silently, and pushed that completely relaxed body down.

Hearing the movement, he seemed to want to push him up again, so Ji Chi quickly turned his back on him to show his attitude of refusal.

There was finally no sound behind him, and Ji Chi quickly fell asleep.

The next day, he was awakened by the nightmare of stones hitting his chest, finally opened his eyes, and found that Yu Yu was pressing on him, already awake, staring at him with open eyes.

Ji Chi and him looked at each other for a while, then pushed away, put on his clothes and left the room.

The snow outside has not stopped.

The hole has been completely blocked.

The men were crawling out of the small hole, and it seemed that they were going to hunt again.

Ji Chi took out two frosted beans from the bag, and handed one of them to Yu Wu, who was getting dressed and seemed to want to go out.

Ji Chi still didn't let him go out.

All day long, it was dark outside, but on the contrary, it was getting warmer and warmer inside the cave.

At night, the men returned empty-handed again.

Ji Chi could tell that they were exhausted, but fortunately they didn't have to continue to endure the same cold as outside after they came back.

They sat in front of the fire with indifferent faces, slowly gnawing on the frozen bark in their hands, their eyes were a little hollow and numb.

Ji Chi felt mixed emotions.

After hesitating for a moment, he poured a bag of jerky into the stone bowl. After cooking, he gave each person a fruit shell soup with a few pieces of meat in it.

Even frozen tree bark is food when hungry, not to mention the meat that has not been eaten for a long time.

They were excited and grateful, and after taking it, they carefully held the hot broth and drank it slowly.

Those men who had been out hunting for a long time hadn't tasted the soup yet. After tasting it, they all showed surprise, and then took a sip and sighed until the soup in the husk bottomed out, and then they didn't make any sound.

At this time, no one questioned where the meat came from, they only knew that Ji Chi gave them food.

I don't know if it was because of this husk soup, those men no longer faced him and Yu Yu coldly, and the relationship between the two parties gradually began to ease.

At the same time, the snow outside fell for three days and three nights, and finally stopped completely in the early morning of the fourth day.

Seeing this change, there was a burst of cheers in the cave.

The snow was waist thick, and the road in front of the cave was blocked. They climbed out of the cave one after another and started shoveling snow.

When the men went out to hunt, they invited Ji Chi and Yu Yu to go out with them. Ji Chi thought about it and refused. Before he fully trusted them, he didn't want to show his sword and arrow. After all, this was the only thing he and Yu Wu had. Assure.

After working in the cave for a few days, no matter how thick the snow is, Yu Wu will go out.

Still the forest ahead.They walked with some difficulty in the thick snow among the trees, their faces full of vigilance.

With such speed and clumsy movements, it would be worse to encounter large and agile animals like them who can't wait to come out to feed.

But after walking around for a long time, I couldn't hear any sound, let alone see it.

The bare tree was covered with snow, Ji Chi moved closer and pushed, finally revealing a bit of gray-black bark.He exhaled and scanned around, as if the sky and the earth were all white.

He withdrew his gaze and was taken aback for a moment, where is he?Yu Wu, who was walking in front of him, disappeared.

There should be some noise in whatever happened, maybe he was distracted.

Ji Chi's heart tightened, he raised his bow and arrow, and while paying attention to his surroundings, he quickly walked to Yu Yu's position and took a look. There was no trace of walking in other directions.

I squatted down and scraped away the snow under my feet, and found a large dirt bag with the soil slightly exposed. I dug again, and there was a slightly hidden hole one person wide beside the dirt bag.

Ji Chi glanced around again, put down his bow and arrow, and began to quickly dig up the snow at the entrance of the cave, trying to call Yu Yu's name a few times while digging.

no response.

Not much snow fell, and it was dug through in a short time.He also heard the movement inside, it was the sound of hitting the wall of the cave when rolling, it became louder for a while, and disappeared for a while.

Ji Chi was startled, and immediately leaned close to the entrance of the cave to look in. There was a bend in the cave, and he couldn't see what was going on inside.

He thought about it for a few seconds, and when he was about to jump in, there was a continuous loud rolling and flapping sound inside, and then he quickly stretched out a hand, and retracted it in the blink of an eye.

It was Yu Yu's hand, Ji Chi swallowed, and put all his attention into it.When the hand stretched out again, he leaned over to grab it, quickly got up and put his feet against the dirt bag, and pulled it up in one go.

After Yu Yu came up, Ji Chi panted and quickly picked up the bow and arrow and aimed at the hole, waiting for the things inside to chase out.

After waiting for a while without any movement, Ji Chi felt relieved and turned his head to look at Yu Wu.

His animal leather boots were gone, there were multiple bite marks on his feet, bleeding, and there were also bite marks on his animal leather pants.

Ji Chi looked at the hole again, walked over, unbuttoned his clothes, tore off the short-sleeved fabric that was worn inside, wrapped the wound as quickly as possible, then took off his animal leather boots, put them on his feet, and helped him up Just go in the direction of the cave.
