Chapter 87 Departure
Chapter 87 Departure
The appearance of the little female and the safety of Asha made the people in the valley happy, and no one cared about the new aliens, not to mention the Amu of Ahu among the Xiong tribe.
The latest gossip in the valley is the bickering of the patriarchs on both sides,
Qing Apa said, "Ahaha, every generation of our two clans should have a consort. This little female is not bad. How about our Ashi?"
Chiapa laughed, "The children are still young, so what will they do so early?"
Qing Apa said, "It's too early, didn't Yong and Ah Che also decide when they were young?"
Chiapa said calmly, "Yes, a female from our wolf clan has gone to the tiger clan, when will another female from the tiger clan come over?"
The two looked at each other at the same time: This old and cunning guy!
In short, many years of close friends broke up unhappy, and the crowd watching in the valley said that this statue is full of joy!
Because Asha and the little female couldn't move easily, the hall was requisitioned. After Li Shizhen got a good night's sleep, he felt much better. He felt that he should not come to him for such a thing of shouldering other people's lives. The pressure was too terrible.So, this guy Bai is quite amazing. He led his friends to beat up the beast, and he also took so many lives on his shoulders, yet he was still so calm.
Because Lan Amu has experience in taking care of little females, she stayed with her. But the goat milk that the little females drink, Lan Amu said that there is generally no problem, but if you want to see, Li Shizhen is definitely an amateur in this kind of thing. Don't mix it up, it's just that the little female just born is so soft...
Every time Asha or Lan Amu asked him to help him hug him, Li Shizhen looked as if he was facing a big enemy, a little baby blushed, it looked very petite and cute, but if you hugged it, You will feel that the warm little body through the animal skin has no bones at all, as if it melted away accidentally, and the whole person dare not move at all, okay?
Anyway, Li Shizhen was already sweating profusely when the baby was carried back by Aunt Lan. He said that his cousin had never hugged him like this before, it was really Alexander.But he also knew that it seemed that Asha was very grateful to him for this successful operation, so he wanted him to hug Ali more.
The three little dumplings played together thoroughly, and every day I saw a white one and a colorful one running in front, and a white round one chasing after them.It seems that the three little guys are very interested in the only Ali who is younger than them in the valley, and they come to see him every day.
Ali spit bubbles, opened his eyes, and cried. The three little guys were able to keep this expression (⊙o⊙) for a long time, expressing their amazement.
Seeing Li Shizhen holding his forehead speechlessly, Aunt Lan smiled and said, "Little male, it's right to be curious about little females. There are too few little females in our valley."
A few neighbors nodded vigorously, and then urged Li Shizhen to give birth to a female baby in a few words. Li Shizhen fled in shame.
Big Cat has been busy preparing for the spring out of the valley these two days. Now that the decision has been made, he will not hesitate any longer.
On this day, Li Shizhen finally caught the busy big cat and asked a very important question: "We went out of the valley, the place to settle, no, it should be said that you have chosen the direction to find the settlement?"
Bai nodded, a little surprised: "I... haven't told you?"
Li Shizhen was helpless: "When did you say that?"
Bai Yi smiled: "That's just right, you come together, I'm discussing with Yang Apa and the others."
Li Shizhen has nothing to disagree with, anyway, he has nothing special now, and what Bai and the others are discussing is related to future development, so they still have to ask clearly.
In Yangappa's room, Yangappa, Chiapa and Qingapa were all there, and the three Appas were discussing endlessly around something on the ground.
"No, no, this mountain should go a little further."
"That's it."
"Last time I went here, there seems to be a small stream."
"Yes, I stayed here on the first night when I went last time."
Li Shizhen was also very curious about the heated discussions of several Appas. He stepped forward and saw that this seemed to be a sand table?
Li Shizhen glanced back at the big cat, and nodded in vain: "The thing we used in the bamboo forest, you call it a sand table, I'm going to use it to simulate the situation in the settlement."
Li Shizhen was very surprised: "You mean, the settlement has already been selected?"
Bai: "It can't be said that it has been completely selected, but the location should be there."
Yang Apa also laughed and said, "At first I thought Bai was a whimsical idea, but after discussing it for a few days, I think this location is good."
Qing Apa also nodded in agreement: "The impossible place is the best choice."
Chiapa frowned: "It's dangerous, you can make up your own mind? Is this place the same?"
Bai nodded: "We just started to try to choose a place outside the valley. Of course, there must be water, safety, and planting and breeding. The place is big enough, and it can't be too far away from the valley. If there is something to do, I want to come If you want to go, this is the right place.”
Li Shizhen looked confused, he was really not familiar with this neighborhood, where exactly could meet so many conditions, and, in Li Shizhen's view, the place that Bai thought was suitable might not really be a suitable place to settle down.
"Where the hell is it?" Please don't play charades.
Bai glanced at Li Shizhen, then smiled and said, "Howling Valley."
If Li Shizhen was drinking water at this moment, he would have sprayed his face white without hesitation.Shit, such a cruel place, actually chose to settle there, is there really no problem with aesthetics?Modern real estate developers will choose some sea view villas, famous mountain gardens, etc. Bai directly ordered a swamp Howling Valley ORZ...
People open the curtains every day to see the blue sea and blue sky, or the singing of birds in Cangshan Mountain, but for them, after choosing Howling Valley, there are rotten mud ponds and wailing giant dinosaurs every day, and maybe there are half-decomposed corpses half exposed on the black rotten mud ...
Probably Li Shizhen’s shocked expression made Bai feel amused, he stroked Li Shizhen’s hair, and patiently explained the reason: “Howling Valley is actually more dangerous than the mouth of the valley. The swamp at the mouth of the valley does not have any large predators, but it is safer. Moreover, there is plenty of water in it, no matter what you want to plant and raise.”
Li Shizhen thought of the swamp, and suddenly thought of another seemingly unrelated question: "Is there any red stone nearby?"
With an uncertain expression on his face, Bai looked at Yang Apa.
Yang Apa shook his head: "I don't know, but the place where I picked the red stone is not too far from Howling Valley."
If that's the case, that's fine, let's go and have a look first, Li Shizhen feels that he still has to trust the big cat's judgment.However, he still wants to warn: "Even if the place we finally choose is not there, we must collect enough red stones. The dagger I gave you is made of red stones. It should be sharp enough. If there are red stones, we can have many of them." weapons."
Speaking of weapons, the three Apas looked at Bai with great interest, not knowing what kind of weapon Ajo made out of Chishi, which doesn't look very easy to handle.
Bai Xiaoxiao nodded, took out his own dagger and handed it to the Apas. This shape surprised everyone first. After all, they saw the red stones given to Ah Chao, and they were not so big. For such a large weapon.
When it was pulled out from the hide of the Horror Beast, this somewhat gray weapon looked inconspicuous, but it obviously carried different traces. It was not like the weapons they usually polished, and there was no connection with Chishi.
Yang Apa's expression was dignified. After looking over and over again, he glanced at Li Shizhen with complicated eyes.
Qing Apa and Qiapa were very interested after testing the hardness and sharpness of the weapon. If Bai hadn't repeatedly emphasized that it was given to him by Ah Chao and engraved it, the two Apas might have directly withheld it. After all, the weapon What, males rarely aren't interested.In this way, Bai finally promised to go to Howling Valley to build a lot of them and send them to them, and the Appas were willing to let them go.
Thinking of the topography of Howling Valley that Apas had just outlined on the sand table, Li Shizhen was a little worried: "Have you never been to Howling Valley?"
Bai nodded: "I haven't been there, but after looking at the sand table, I'm sure it's not a big problem, and Appa said that some of the males who are willing to follow me have also been to Howling Valley."
Only then did Li Shizhen let go of his thoughts slightly: "Then what do we need to prepare, food, weapons, medicine?"
Bai patted Li Shizhen's hair: "Don't worry too much, weapons and so on, last time you made so many, it's enough. For medicine, Yang Apa will follow us when the time comes."
"Huh?" Li Shizhen felt a little unbelievable. After all, in his impression, Yang Apa was the God of Dinghai in the valley, and he wanted to leave with them.
Bai nodded affirmatively: "Because Apas stayed in the valley, Yang Apa didn't feel worried. It was our first time going to Howling Valley, and he was a little worried. Moreover, he would go down the mountain to collect herbs every year when the weather warmed up. He said that he just happened to be with us this time, and he will come back first when everything goes well with us."
Only then did Li Shizhen understand the arrangement: "Howling Valley is not far from here, and will the road be dangerous?" The last time Chiapa and the others had new injuries and old injuries were not just caused by the beasts.
Bai's tone was light: "It's not too far, it's much closer than when we went from the jungle to the north. The predators on the road, we also have to deal with them, so it would be better to come to them. What's more, the biggest danger Isn't it already solved by us?"
Li Shizhen was surprised: "The beast? You didn't think about choosing Howling Valley as a settlement at that time, did you?"
Smiling in vain without saying a word, it was like acquiescing.
Li Shizhenjiu, it seems that the big cat is quite sure, the plan in his mind is very clear and thorough, then there is nothing wrong with him, he should think about what logistics materials to prepare, and the transportation tools need to think about it before deciding .
After discussing for a while, the two separated to get busy.
Considering the problem of food transportation, Li Shizhen is still planning to make a stone mill, so that it will be convenient to grind cornmeal and prepare some pasta like corn bread.After all, corn on the cob is not easy to carry, but cornmeal is fine.
In addition, in view of the fact that he is going to plant there, besides corn seeds, Li Shitong also plans to ask Ahu for other seeds.Now that Ah Mu from Ahu is here, the seedling cultivation in the hot spring area is expected to be smoother.
After talking with Ahu, Ahu said with a touch of joy on his face that his mother would also go with them when the time came.
Li Shixuan nodded and thanked Ahu and his mother. This is also good, and the guidance of experienced elders is more conducive to planting.
On the breeding side, Li Shizhen finally decided to choose the takin as the main means of transportation, and took away the herbivorous dinosaurs by the way. After all, there were a lot of things along the way, and if predators came, he didn't know what kind. Creatures will perform better. In terms of running speed alone, takins are better, but in terms of strength, dinosaurs are better, and endurance is completely unknown, so Li Shizhen simply brought them all.
Compared with the simple things on Li Shizhen's side, Bai Nai has more complicated things. After all, preparing food and transportation tools are nothing to him. The first big problem he faces now is how to deal with it? Integrate the team.
There were a total of eight bear orcs, all young and strong males. After having plenty of food in the valley, they quickly regained their energy. Bai broke them up and organized them into three teams, quietly observing their performance. In other words, he waited for a long time, but no one came to challenge him?In confusion, these eight new members gradually integrated into the team in terms of language learning and tacit understanding of actions.
Bai didn't know that a predator who wore a fur coat every day and beat up his leader when he met him was not an easy target to challenge.After joining the team, learning the language, familiarizing themselves with the environment, and understanding Bai's murderous deeds, no one dared to challenge him.
After all, if you go to a challenge if you want to succeed, if you know you have gone but you are beaten up, then it is not a challenge, it is a food delivery.
Therefore, the orcs' sense of smell is still very keen, and they escaped Bai's big trick called killing chickens to scare monkeys ╮( ̄▽ ̄")╭ Before the ice melted, the bear orcs even taught everyone how to cut open the surface of the lake The ice catches fish that come out of the lake to breathe. After heavy training, this activity greatly attracts young orcs. After all, fresh fish tastes better than frozen ones. Unfortunately, poisonous fish really disappoint everyone. But the process was still very joyful and attracted everyone to watch.
Li Shizhen looked at the laughing crowd, and his heart was suddenly filled with reluctance and regret. This valley that allowed him to spend the most peaceful period of time in this world, they are about to leave, and what lies ahead? wait for them.
Bai's smile was full of joy, and it seemed that no matter what kind of difficulties, he couldn't stop him from stopping.
At last, gradually, the weather became warmer and the ice on the lake thinned, and even the most daring Orcs no longer dared to go fishing on the lake.The thick snow coats hanging on the trees in the south of the valley also fell one after another, and the sound of ice and snow falling to the ground filled my ears.Under the thunder after rain, the plants have sprouted rice grain-sized shoots, and spring is here.
For some reason, Yang Apa insisted that they postpone the departure time, and the day-by-day delay made the mothers prepare more and more things for them, which was much more thoughtful than Li Shizhen's own preparation.
On this day, finally, Bai gathered the orcs and their females, Asha and Ali naturally stayed behind, and the bear tribe was also in the team except for the female who was reluctant to be separated from the little white bear.At Taniguchi, everyone boarded the takin trailer. The farewell scene was the same reluctance all over the world, especially the Eunuchs, who were even more reluctant to let the children embark on an unknown journey.
But when the children grow up, they have their own dreams to pursue, and they fly alone. The mothers looked at the trailer that was gradually going away, and just said loudly: "If you can't do it, come back!"
Apart from reluctance in the eyes of the young orcs, there was more anticipation for embarking on the journey, but Li Shizhen unexpectedly saw a familiar figure in the car.
"Muapa? You...why..."
"Hmph, what? I can't come?"
"Uh, no, it's just that it's quite dangerous to go this time."
"Don't worry about it."
Li Shizhen was choked up, well, this old man has this kind of virtue.
Yang Apa smiled: "Ah, the weapon you made out of Chishi has attracted Mu's heart. It's good for him to go with you. You don't have to worry about your weapons haha!"
Li Shizhen also found it funny when he thought about it, so he didn't bother to bother with this strange old man who argued with Yang Apa without anger.
After several days of trekking, Bai used his actual actions to prove that killing predators was no joke. All the predators who coveted their vehicles fell down. Of course, this was also because there were no large predators. Near the Terrestrial Territory, everything is still under their rule.
In this way, killing all the way and advancing all the way, everyone finally came to the legendary and terrifying Howling Valley.
It was only soon that everyone discovered that the topographic maps provided by the Appas had completely lost their reference value.
Li Shizhen was also surprised by Yang Apa's foresight: In addition to the recovery of all things in spring, there is also a terrible thing called spring flood.
The result of an extremely long snow season is that too much water has accumulated on the land. When the weather gets warmer, the water turns into melted ice and snow and flows into the rivers. The excessive water volume causes floods, and even rivers Change, with many unknown dangers.
Along the way, there are countless scenes where the terrain changes.
Fortunately, the delayed departure allowed them to avoid the most plentiful and most lethal time of the water. Although they were tired all the way, they still arrived at the destination relatively smoothly.
And this Howling Hollow is a depression sandwiched between two mountains, at least the mouth of the valley is a depression.This explains why there are still many plants growing here in winter. It is probably because the mountains are sheltered from the cold air.There is a river not too far away. During the spring flood, the river flowed in backwards. Although the water has receded now, it has also caused major changes in the terrain of the entire valley. It is now a swamp of water.I am afraid that this is also one of the main sources of moisture in this swamp.
What made Li Shixuan frown even more was that there were often dead animals lying in the sediment brought by the river at Taniguchi, which attracted a large number of mosquitoes and scavenging birds. This kind of water source may not be directly drinkable at all.
On that day, Bai arranged for everyone to camp on the mountain first. Most of the predators nearby are small scavengers. Bai sent several teams to clean it up several times in turn. I believe that the nearby animals will rush to tell each other. : This place is dangerous and has been occupied.
This brief occupation didn't last long, Bai still decided to quickly explore the situation in the valley.If the water swamp occupies most of the valley, and the dry land they originally identified is submerged, then they have to think about another location. If the land is still there, the special terrain of this Howling Valley also requires them to investigate again before deciding on the final settlement. .
Li Shizhen also has no objection, the place they are in is too open now, no one knows if there will be any large predators coming suddenly.It is naturally best to find out the situation in Howling Valley as soon as possible, settle down as soon as possible and do various fortifications.
Now that Howling Valley is already full of water, Li Shizhen simply led the crowd to build a raft again. He had experience in making rafts in the valley, and the orcs were not slow in their hands.
Within a few days, the vanguard set out to explore the way, and Li Shizhen followed as the only "female".Everyone is familiar with this, anyway, Bai's female is not an ordinary female, she can always have some whimsical ideas, Bai didn't say anything, let alone other people.
The large army outside is watched by Yang Apa, so there will be no problem.
Howling Valley is completely different from what Li Shizhen imagined. Originally, he thought that there should be muddy ponds and dead animals everywhere. He didn't know whether the arrival of the flood changed everything, or it should have been like this.
The Howling Valley in spring is actually full of vitality. The vegetation here is different from any forest Li Shizhen has seen before.The narrow waterway traverses the entire swamp and passes through the water at the mouth of the valley. There are dense aquatic plants growing in the depths of the valley. These plants hang down long aerial roots, and even on the wet mud bank, they are densely packed and exposed to the mud for a few feet. air roots.
There was no particularly frightening sound in Howling Valley. Instead, various water birds and small animals appeared. Li Shizhen even saw a mink-like animal leisurely swimming past their raft with a small fish in its mouth.Some agile small dinosaurs can jump over the narrow waterway, and their small and deep three-claw footprints are still left on the wet mud on the two "banks".
In such a situation of vertical and horizontal waterways and dense vegetation, it is really difficult to distinguish the direction, so we can only paddle the raft and explore as much as possible.
The white tiger and several orcs have changed their animal forms to ensure that each raft can deal with dangers that come from nowhere.
After wandering around for several hours, a group of people finally landed on a relatively large "dry land".It is said to be "dry land", but it is better than a waterway. When people step on it, it is full of wet mud. It is quite strenuous to walk with one deep foot and one shallow foot. Not to mention the white tiger, which quickly turned into a mud tiger .
Gradually, the higher you went, the harder the ground was. Finally, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and stopped to cook.
The white tiger wandered around, checking the terrain.
As soon as Li Shi was halfway through the stove, he heard the angry roar of the white tiger not far away, followed by a long-lost clear long cry from the other direction.
