The Survival of the Wild Tribe

The silt pond is located in a mountain depression. There are many thorn trees growing around. The salty fruit brought back by Lu Zhan mainly grows in this area. The hole that the hog deer fell and smashed is still there. The horned bamboo is in order to facilitate the prey. After getting it out, the weeds nearby had been broken a lot, which looked very obvious.

"Don't get too close, be careful to fall." Hei Fu uprooted a sapling that was blocking his vision, threw it aside, and told the two behind him.

The silt pond and the place where they are standing are about half a meter high, and the mud on the pond has a higher humidity than other places. It is very slippery to step on, and it is indeed easy for people to fall into it.

Luo Zhen nodded, squatting down to the entrance of the cave and looking inside, probably because the surrounding vegetation is too lush. I can’t see how big this silt pond is, but it’s the area that can be seen, as long as this silt pond is in sight. The silt inside is really useful, it is enough for them to build houses.

I picked up a little silt with a branch. The silt here is much thicker than the silt cleaned from the horn bamboo. I touched my fingers a little, and the touch is very delicate. Before it is dry, Luo Zhen feels that **** are about to be gone. Are glued together.

Lu Zhan had prepared a large stake of water and put it aside. Luo Zhen quickly cleaned his fingers. As long as the silt remained moist, it could be easily washed away even without hot water. This is what he learned from the mud test that he got off the hog deer yesterday, otherwise he would not touch the mud with his own hands, after all, he had seen the viscosity of the mud.

"How?" Lu Zhan carefully wiped him clean with animal skins, making sure not to leave any traces of silt between the nails. These hands are for him to make all kinds of delicious food, and he is not willing to let him. It stuck together somehow.

"It's okay, I have to get some back to see if it can be used."

"Then, shall we directly use a wooden stake to carry a little bit and bring it back?" Hei Fu asked.

Luo Zhen nodded, "Don't fill it up, just fill it halfway, lest the silt on our way back will be splashed out, and it will be troublesome when we get it on our bodies."

The tool used to hold the silt was a large wooden stake that was hollowed out yesterday, which was used as a bathtub for horn bamboo. They also made a long wooden spoon overnight, which was more than one meter long, which was cut from a whole wooden board. Now as long as you stand by the side of the silt pool, you can easily scoop the silt inside into the stakes, which is very convenient.

After the mud is installed, cover the mouth of the stake with a piece of animal skin, tie it with a rope of animal skin, and put a piece of animal skin on the back when carrying it, so that you don't have to worry that the silt inside will splash on your body.

Taking advantage of Heifu's effort to fill the silt, Luo Zhen circled around and his eyes fell on the clusters of salty fruits.

The salty fruit trees are tall and big, and the salty fruit in the waist-high area has signs of being eaten. The salty fruit here is a bit different from the small handful Luo Zhen picked in the small forest before. Sparse things like hoarfrost cover the surface, and this kind of thing can easily fall off with just a light touch.

Luo Zhen lowered his head and looked underground. There were some black ants roaming around the roots of the salty fruit trees. Once they found this kind of white frost, they would get up and move them back to the ant nest.

Luo Zhen observed it, curiously dipped a little hoarfrost with his finger, put it in his mouth and tasted it. The taste was a bit salty, but it was lighter than the taste when he ate the salted fruit directly.

"These salty fruits are not ripe yet, they don't have much taste." Lu Zhan saw Luo Zhen looking at the salted fruits here, said, and then pointed to the salty fruit tree next door, "Only the salty fruits can be picked there."

Luo Zhen looked over. The salty fruit next door was a bit bigger than the one in front of him. There was no trace of hoarfrost on the surface of the fruit. Luo Zhen picked one and put it in his mouth. It was the familiar salty taste, and then picked it. I took a salted fruit with white frost. The shaking caused most of the white frost on the surface of the salted fruit to fall off. Only the place where the fingers were twisted still remained. Put it in the mouth and use the teeth to bite the peel. There is no familiar salty taste. , But a little bitter.

When Lu Zhan saw that Luo Zhen wrinkled his facial features together again, he knew that the other party didn’t like the bitter taste very much. He couldn’t help being a bit funny. He had never seen an ordinary person whose tongue was as delicate as Luo Zhen. In his original tribe, only those who had grown up in love were qualified to serve the God of Water.

"Are these hoarfrosts salt crumbs?" Luo Zhen vomited the last bitter salty fruit, and quickly picked another ripe salty fruit to remove the taste in his mouth. Among the sweet, sour, bitter and spicy, he couldn't bear the bitter taste the most. .

Lu Zhan shrugged his shoulders, saying that he didn't know. He only knows stone salt, can this kind of thing that grows on fruit also be salt?

There is not much **** frost on the unripe salted fruit. Even if the **** frost of the whole tree is collected together, it is estimated that it will be about the size of two salted fruit. It is not cost-effective to use salted fruit directly. Luo Zhen did not worry about hoarfrost anymore, but when he left, he dug up two seedlings of salted fruit and took them back. He planned to plant it next to the hayloft where he lives now. If the salted fruit can be planted successfully, he will not need it in the future. The mountains are looking for salty fruit trees.

After Heifu filled the required mud, the three of them went back to the tribe together.

The blisters on Luo Zhen's feet hadn't healed yet, and he was walking slowly on the mountain road. This time Lu Zhan didn't have a large bag of things on his body, so he didn't mind letting the other party carry himself back.

The people of the Black Panther tribe are still very quick to move. The three of them have already cleared a large area after they went out. The open space is next to the straw shed where they are now living, and the processed weeds are neatly cleaned. Stacked together.

"Look if there are any edible weeds in these weeds." Axue knew that Luo Zhen could distinguish many plants they didn't recognize, so she deliberately asked people to pile up all the weeds that they did not recognize. When Luo Zhen came back to identify them, she would pay He piled up some big weeds that he knew again, which greatly reduced Luo Zhen's effort to search for weeds.

Luo Zhen glanced at Axue slightly unexpectedly. He didn't even think of using all of these weeds, probably because he hadn't been worried about lack of food recently, and his entire mind was temporarily rushed to the house.

Not to mention, even though the weeds look messy, they really made Luo Zhen find a few edible wild vegetables, but these wild vegetables are a little bit different from memory, Luo Zhen is not very sure, one of them is because there are only leaves. , The root was no longer found, so Luo Zhen couldn't tell whether it was a narcissus or wild garlic.

"When you see this weed in the future, it is best to uproot it. Its roots can be used as seasonings." Luo Zhen picked out the leaves and told Axue specifically, if this thing is really true. Wild garlic is very useful, at least if you get injured in the future, you can't find any substitutes. This thing can also serve as a disinfectant.

Axue collected those leaves and carefully noted that she cannot go out hunting prey like a warrior, but at least she can follow Luo Zhen to learn how to find edible things among various seemingly useless plants. In this way, even if there is a lack of prey in the future, there is no need to worry about making the people hungry.

Axue loves this kind of food hunting. As a half-orc, she eats a lot more than ordinary people. She has never had a full stomach since she was a child, except during the harvest, but since she decided to stay. After that, no one would dislike her appetite, Luo Zhen would deliberately give her an extra portion of food, and Lu Zhan, who was in charge of hunting food, would not have any opinions.

Axue likes her life very much, and she wants to help Luo Zhen do more. What's more, whether Luo Zhen wants to build a house or find edible plants from these weeds, these are also very good for them. Things.

"What about these?" Axue pointed to the plant that Luo Zhen put aside on purpose.

Luo Zhen picked up those plants. One of them looked like the shape of the leaves, but it also only had leaves, so he was not sure. He could not tell the common Chinese medicine between the leaves and the roots by just smelling the taste. It's not the same. The other two are plants that Luo Zhen has never seen before, but he instinctively thinks that these two plants are edible. This feeling is very strange, a bit like instinct. At least when he saw these two plants He had never felt this way before.

"Feed these first to see if there are any problems with the cuckoos. If the cuckoos are fine, we should be able to eat them."

"Can the cuckoo be able to tell which plants are edible?" Axue looked at Luo Zhen admiringly. She wondered why Luo Zhen would bother to bring two timid and quiet birds. Once I was quarreled by those two birds and got a headache, but seeing Luo Zhen's attitude towards the two cuckoo birds was very good, she didn't say that Luo Zhen would throw away those two birds. Unexpectedly, those two birds There is such a role unexpectedly.

"Cuckoo birds are omnivorous birds. They can eat everything. It is safer to give us a try first. If these plants are poisonous, we can also avoid them in advance."

Axue: "..." Well, she took back what Luo Zhen had said before to those two timid and quiet birds.

After handling the weeds, Luo Zhen began to test the effects of the mud. Because of the viscosity of the mud, Luo Zhen directly called this thing mud glue.

After drying, the cement will turn into an off-white solid that is harder than stone. Because of its fine texture, the surface of the solid also looks smooth, but it is a bit like cement.

After drying, the mud glue can be used in boiling water for more than half a day to change it back to the form of mud, or it can be used after being burned to ashes with a high temperature fire and then heated with water to reconcile it, but the viscosity will be greatly reduced and the color will also be It became dirty black.

The original mud state can be directly diluted with cold water, and the viscosity of the diluted mud will be weakened, but the viscosity is enough for them to build houses, and the diluted mud is not as thick as before, and it is convenient to use. many. Luo Zhen has tried many times on the ratio of water transfer, and the final result is that a wooden bowl of clay can probably be added with about three bowls of water.

The various effects of the clay are sorted out, and the building of the house can be carried out immediately.
