Survive in the beast world

Chapter 70

After the fishing dinner that night, Li Shizhen and Bai sent the old people back together. They feel better now, and they all returned to their original residences, and they also expressed that they no longer need the care of Amu Yu and the others.

In the words of Yang Apa, he is an old bone, and he knows the seriousness, so he doesn’t need young people to worry about it. Now that the valley is busy, they can’t help much, so it’s absolutely fine to take care of himself.

Or in the eyes of Yang Apa, Yu Amu, Lan Amu and even Qi Apa and Qing Apa are all young people, and they are all children who need their love.Therefore, the old people also sympathized with their hard work, so they declined their care early.

Li Shizhen discussed with Bai that the spirits of the old people seem to be good today, why not wait and see, anyway, these real young people are full of energy, no matter how busy they are in shifts, they can't stop visiting the old people, just talk to the old people Listen to their work, listen to their experience, and observe the physical condition of the elderly.

Li Shizhen finally sighed: "A family is as old as a treasure."

This sentence was said in Chinese, and Li Shizhen explained it to Bai again, and after Bai understood it, he smiled and said, "No, if it weren't for Yang Apa, we wouldn't know that some fish in the lake are poisonous. In this heavy snow season, many old people may have fallen because of this..."

Li Shizhen sighed, and said hesitantly: "Do you think there are some rules in the valley that can be changed?" After all, this is the valley where Bai grew up, and he didn't know if what he said would be inappropriate.

Bai Bai looked at Li Shizhen in surprise: "I thought you already knew."

Li Shixuan:?

what do you know?He doesn't know anything.

Bai and Li Shizhen walked side by side by the lake. Night had already fallen, but the smell of grilled fish still lingered by the lake. It seemed that everyone's hope and enthusiasm lingered by the lake just now and did not dissipate.After the snow stopped, a bright moon just came to the top of the trees tonight. The remaining snow by the lake reflected the moonlight, and the calm lake water also reflected the moon. The whole world looked extraordinarily bright and clean, but because of the remaining joyful atmosphere, it only seemed warm and warm. A little deserted.

After a while, Bai looked at Li Shizhen and said with a smile: "Aren't we already changing it?"

Li Shixuan suddenly realized that indeed, there was never a time when young people took charge of the overall situation in the valley, especially when Yuamlan and Ammu were all present; before the heavy snow season, no old females really entered the snow cave and did not come out. Those who went in were rescued; the fishing, planting, and breeding they were doing were unprecedented, and not all of them were changing.

"Some things don't need to be said, you just need to do it." Bai slowly said, his clear ice blue eyes under the moonlight had an indescribable depth, these words seemed to be influenced by this special look It seems to have no meaning.

Li Shizhen was stunned for a moment because of this look, as if his heart beat a little faster, Bai reached out and gently wiped off the residual snow that had just fallen from the branches on Li Shizhen's hair. After coming to the valley, Li Shizhen just used a knife or something He took care of his beard, which was already small. The weather was getting colder, so he didn't care much about his hair. Now it was long enough to reach his shoulders. With a light flick of Bai, the tip of the hair brushed across his neck, which made him a little itchy.

Li Shizhen couldn't help stretching out his hand to scratch his neck. His white eyes were fixed on Li Shizhen's movements. At this moment, his eyes turned into a mysterious and profound dark blue just like the night sky. He quickly forced himself to remove his eyeliner, and continued to explain: "You see, most of the rules set by the ancestors were not spoken out, but after a generation of people did it, it had results, and it was passed on to the next generation by word of mouth. This is the origin of these rules. Some of them are bad, we replace them with better ones, and they will naturally be passed on to the next generation, which is better rules.”

Someone who was distracted put down his hand, thought carefully, and nodded in agreement.Indeed, these things do not need to be stated clearly, as long as there are better solutions to replace them slowly, as time goes by, water will drop through stones, and changes will happen naturally, and talking about them will cause other problems.

Therefore, my proposal was not constructive at all. Li Shizhen thought helplessly that this is actually very good. The big cat next to him thinks farther than himself and is more feasible. He knows the situation in the valley better. , and think more deeply, which is a good thing.But, did this guy grow up too fast?

Li Shizhen glanced sideways at the big cat: "Bai?"

The same white head sideways:?

Then Li Shizhen clenched his fist and smiled slightly: "You have done really well recently, you have worked hard! Keep going!" Then he stretched out his fist to bump into Bai's to cheer him up.No matter how much you grow up, if you bear such a lot of pressure, you will still be tired and tired.And growing so fast, it will be painful, just like when a person grows too fast, he will not be able to sleep at night because of the pain in his bones. Does this big cat also have such moments?

Bai's slightly sharp eyebrows seemed to be completely stretched at this moment. He showed a smile that could be called gentle, and stretched out his palm. Instead of hitting Li Shizhen with his fist, he used his big palm to hit Li Shizhen. Hao's fist is completely contained in the palm.

Li Shizhen was a little confused but seemed to be a little bit clear. He struggled, but he couldn't break free from Bai's seemingly gentle but strong palm. He was a little troubled, as if he had also fallen into a gentle but inescapable grasp.

But Bai didn't say anything more, just like this, with a gentle and relaxed smile, he walked back to the stone house with Li Shizhen side by side.Until he returned to the stone house, Li Shizhen still failed to understand his complicated psychology.

There was nothing to say all night, the two fell asleep with their own thoughts, and there were other things waiting for them to arrange tomorrow.

The fishing work was over, and everyone in the valley finally had a reassurance. All the people, old and young, were very motivated, and they all felt very happy, and the progress of various things became smoother.

The progress of the planting was very smooth, but in a few days, many corns sprouted thin and tender yellow shoots. Li Shizhen observed the growth of these seedlings, probably because of the proper selection of the seeds, the fertility of the soil itself, the temperature and humidity The seedlings are considered to be very healthy.

Ahu carefully took a few females to take care of the seedlings. The natural environment of the hot spring area is good, and they don't need to be too busy. They just need to be careful not to let small animals spoil the seedlings, and check if there are any gnats or something.

In the past two days, the forest reclamation in the north has been very busy. Sometimes Asha and the others have to go to help. Without it, the reclamation has come to an end. According to Li Shizhen’s explanation, there are older trees and fir trees left behind. , other small trees are cut down and uprooted.Li Shizhen has seen the surrounding vegetation. The area they reclaimed will not cause any impacts such as water and soil erosion, but the preservation of the big tree is still out of awe of nature. After all, a towering tree needs nature to grow. Favor needs the gift of time more.

As for the fir tree, one is because its fruit is the staple food in the valley and can provide food when it grows up, and the other is because after what happened in the snow cave that day, Li Shizhen can't even say that the belief in the holy fir is superstition or something. It is something to be in awe of. For a miracle of life like the Holy Fir, its descendants feed the people in the valley and reciprocate. Naturally, the little fir tree should be cherished. This is the consensus of all the people in the valley.

Although the existence of these trees will bring some troubles to farming, compared to the losses caused by losing them, Li Shizhen believes that everyone would rather choose such a method that seems a little troublesome in a short period of time.

In the past few days, Li Shizhen led the females to use the felled wood to make a large number of stone hoes and other agricultural tools. Now it is time to dig the ground. Cleaning up the stones and loosening the soil requires manpower. The male side Those who were not on patrol were also brought over to work together.

Cough, male and female match, work is not tiring.Anyway, like stirring organic fertilizer, the females threw it to these males without any burden.Every time the smell is stirred, the females have to prepare for a long time of psychological construction. They cover their noses with animal skins to go up. It just so happens that these guys are here and they are strong, so it is not bad to let them go.

Li Shizhen saw that the digging was also on the track, and the mothers would come to help from time to time when they were free. He took the time to check the breeding area. He was very satisfied and found that all affairs were in order. The improvements they discussed last time are already being implemented. Whether it is lambs, rabbits, or females with cubs, they are all in good condition. The rabbits actually built a small nest in the cage with grass, and the eyes of several little rabbits Did not open.

Bai and his hunting team seem to bring back more and more species. Li Shizhen actually saw a few herbivorous dinosaurs in the fence, but it seems that Bai has also identified them very clearly. These dinosaurs are exactly those dinosaurs. A medium-sized and docile animal was chewing grass leaves in the enclosure. Li Shizhen couldn't help but ask about the daily food intake of this animal.

Asha and the others don't know how to count, but they were deeply impressed by Li Shizhen's explanation of numbers last time. They will naturally ask those young females a question. They want to fully learn addition and subtraction within a short time. Unlikely, but counting up to ten is fine.

Li Shizhen roughly figured out the food intake of herbivorous dinosaurs after going back and forth. Fortunately, a lot of land was reserved for reclamation at that time, and the germination rate of those corn seedlings is unlikely to be [-]%. Grow some feed for these dino flocks.The big ones also eat a lot, so it's hard to say whether it's worthwhile in a short time. When the time comes to plant fast-growing feed, it shouldn't be a burden to keep so few. Let's observe and see.Other small animals that he thinks are very cost-effective, do they think they are too small and have no consideration at all?It seems that we have to communicate later.

After the work of leveling and digging the ground was completed, before everyone rested, it was time for the fir fruit to ripen. It seemed that within a few nights, the green fruits hanging on the tree were all dyed brown.

It's really hard to spin around. Many females have lost weight. The males need to hunt and patrol and work. The young people who were a bit jumpy looked calmer, but no one complained. After all, Congguo is A staple of the valley's snow season, its ripeness and successful picking mean a lot.

Li Shizhen and Bai have made full preparations for this picking. The containers, carrying tools, drying places and warehouses have all been prepared. The picking training for young people has been completed long ago, and the picking plan has been drawn up long ago. Just wait for this day.

After breakfast this day, except for a team of males on patrol, and some pregnant females reserved for the fence and nursery area in the hot spring area, all young and old were reorganized into this big picking, and everyone’s small team remained unchanged. Each has designated an area to work separately, and even the old people like Yang Apa formed a small team by themselves, not to be outdone.

It's just that the work efficiency of these teams is really different. Li Shizhen and Bai couldn't laugh or cry.

From the picking, it can be seen that this group of jade girls are very powerful. The fir fruits on a tree are basically picked in one direction. Someone picks and someone picks them up quickly and efficiently. After harvesting, there will be no omissions.

It is a laborious task for young people to pick, and this is what they look like after training. If they get started directly, I don't know how terrible it will be.The females are okay, but it takes more time to find the fir fruit, and they are more dexterous and quick in picking. They are more thoughtful. Although the progress is slower, they generally pick in one direction, such as from south to north, or from south to north. From north to south, no fruit will fall after picking.

The progress of the old people is actually not slow. Usually, the elderly mothers pick the fruit, and the Apas are picking the fruit under the tree. Li Shizhen was a little worried about their safety, but he looked at the young sword and his figure. For the still fit and healthy eunuchs, they seemed to know that they were not young, and their movements were steady and careful, so Li Shizhen was slightly relieved.

As for the males, Li Shizhen looked at the fir fruit tree that was sparsely picked, with one fruit left in the east and one fruit in the west, which was like a dog gnawed. Shouting "There's more there", "There's more here", Li Shi held his forehead and sighed, and turned around to discuss with Bai.

Bai obviously didn't expect this group of guys to be so frustrated, picking a fruit, what a big deal, would it be more difficult than hunting those ferocious animals?To actually make the scene more chaotic than encountering a terrifying beast, this damn is also a skill.Does picking a fruit also require him to arrange and plan carefully in advance?Obviously, they have received the same training as the females, but Bai is still puzzled at how they made things like this.

Li Shizhen didn't mean to blame him, sometimes his nature was there, and there was really nothing he could do.He once again deeply realized that the talent shown in Bai was by no means accidental. This group of guys are still suitable for doing some intuitive and slightly stimulating things. This kind of repetitive labor, except for directly using strength, Otherwise, don't call them, it's a waste of time.

Li Shizhen and Bai bowed their heads and whispered for a while, Bai thought for a while, nodded, and called the group of males directly.

At this moment, the picking has just started. Although everyone has divided the area, the basic starting point is almost the same. The thing that the males were quickly stopped immediately attracted the crowds of the big and small females on the tree. Seeing those dogs The females immediately understood the reason for the gnawing fir fruit tree, and couldn't straighten up laughing.

Yu'am said loudly: "Ah, don't bother them. They are so stupid. The males haven't picked much in the past!" On the thing or female come on.

Li Shizhen nodded in agreement, he originally asked them to come down to give them some other work.

The males gathered and stood in a row as Bai asked usually. Although they were a little embarrassed to be teased, the dignity and rules of the warriors were there, and the leader's words still had to be obeyed.

Li Shizhen took out a small whistle. The small whistle used in the valley is smaller than that used by the patrol outside, and the sound is softer, with a bit of playfulness and cuteness.

When the whistle sounded, everyone stopped their hands and looked curiously at what Ah Chao was going to do. The grass leaves on the ground rustled, and a few white or colorful striped animals appeared In everyone's sight.The little tiger who ran in the front rubbed Li Shizhen and Bai Bai affectionately, followed by the two little tuanzi at the back who rolled out rather than ran out, and everyone couldn't help laughing.

From this point of view, the mysterious mission of the cubs has taken shape?The whereabouts of these little guys have been a mystery recently, the valley is still safe, and it is the task assigned by Li Shizhen. The mothers did not stop these little guys from going out, but they are also mysterious, which makes the adults very curious.Now, everyone wants to see what Li Shizhen let these little guys do.

Li Shizhen counted the big and small cubs, and several cubs slightly older than Ah Shi who came back from outside the valley were also among them, and they happened to be teamed up with these males.

At the moment, four males were in a group with two cubs. Li Shizhen numbered them, gave them a picking bucket for them to carry on their backs, and explained the rules of the game in detail. The group chose a direction with the cubs on their shoulders and set off impatiently.

The people picking from the tree were curious. Where did these big guys take the little ones? Looking at the expressions of those males, it seems... a little excited?While everyone was guessing and discussing, their hands were not idle, and they glanced at Li Shizhen and Bai from the corner of their eyes. Neither of them had any intention of explaining, but the more they guessed, the more curious they became.

After waiting for a long time without seeing them come back, everyone had to continue to work and look around. As a result, they collected a bucket full of fir fruits and gave them to Li Shizhen for transportation. When they got an empty bucket by the way, there was a group of male Back with pups!

Then everyone was stunned to find that all the males in this group were smiling, and the buckets they were carrying were actually full of fir berries.Is this unscientific? !Just now these guys were picking so badly, even if they were given such a little time to go to the tree, they wouldn't be able to pick so many fruits.

This group of males received a sign from Li Shizhen, indicating that they had handed in a bucket. They received a new bucket and set off happily again.

The curiosity of the crowd could no longer be suppressed at this time, the discussion became louder and the speculations became more and more bizarre. Reminiscent of Li Shizhen's wish to let go under the holy fir tree, could it be that the Holy Spirit quietly told Li Shizhen where to hide the treasure? Congguo, did Li Shizhen tell the cubs?This sounding "reliable" statement quickly spread in the picking scene with the consistent speed of gossip.

Li Shizhen was busy counting the barrels, preparing to arrange the transportation later. Besides, although everyone was discussing, he could only hear a vague noise. He only thought that everyone was talking while working, and he couldn't distinguish the discussion What, I don't even know that everyone has already regarded him as the protagonist in the myth.

Bai just folded his arms and listened with a smile. He heard clearly that he had no intention of refuting or defending at all.

One after another, the males came back with their cubs to hand over the barrels, and Li Shizhen handed out signs one by one.The onlookers decisively felt that their guess was right. Look, it can be said that it was a coincidence that one group of people did this. Each group gathered the fir fruit so quickly. It is obviously impossible to pick it from a tree. If they could pick so many, they wouldn't let them fall off the tree just now.

Gradually, the fact that Li Shizhen was blessed by the Holy Spirit was confirmed by the masses. Therefore, the so-called labels are easy to stick and not easy to remove, and morals are easy to remove and not easy to pick up. Cough, everyone can ignore the last sentence.All in all, student Li Shizhen is good at doing things for himself. To be a magician once is to have the consciousness of being regarded as a magician for the rest of your life, especially when you have a god-like teammate standing by and watching you being confirmed as a magician. ╮(￣▽￣ ")╭By the evening, most of the picking was basically completed, and the rest can be continued tomorrow. After the males in the group brought back many barrels of fir fruit, they came back more and more slowly. Everyone It is said that the place where the Holy Spirit hides the fir fruit is getting farther and farther away. You must know that in the past, when everyone picked the fir fruit, the fir tree did not grow less. It can be seen that the Holy Spirit himself hid a part of the fir fruit to reproduce.

Hearing this outrageous statement with a nose and eyes, Bai couldn't help laughing secretly. Of course the Congguo had been "hidden", but unfortunately it wasn't the Holy Spirit as everyone imagined.Anyway, he would not relay this statement to Li Shizhen, so let this wonderful legend pass on.

The cubs can't speak for a while, and it may be difficult to express this meaning clearly in a short time.And with the attitude of everyone in the valley, I'm afraid they wouldn't ask the cub this question, after all, it involves the secret of the Holy Spirit.Therefore, if Li Shizhen himself does not clarify this legend, it is estimated that it will be spread for a long time. Even if it is clarified in the future, it is estimated that Li Shizhen will not be able to take off the hat of the Holy Spirit's blessing.

Seeing that it was getting late, Li Shizhen stopped letting the males set off, and instead asked them to drag buckets of fir fruits back to the temporary warehouse with a small pallet.These pine nuts will need to be dried in the open space tomorrow. He asked the mothers that only dried pine nuts can be stored in the icehouse for a whole year.

Therefore, in addition to continuing to pick and dry tomorrow, there are many things to do. I am afraid that the few females on the planting and breeding side will need to persist for another day, and he will have to go to see how the situation is after dinner.

Li Shizhen, who was seriously thinking about the plan, didn't notice the eyes of everyone around him whispering at him, and he didn't care about those discussions. After all, it's normal for everyone to be more lively after the harvest.

Bai intentionally or unintentionally separated the crowd, and his smiling appearance made all the males feel that this guy had some idea in mind!
