Good luck with koi carp
Chapter 231 Fire
The end of winter and the beginning of spring is the season when all things revive.
In the dense jungle, a group of goats were leisurely gnawing bushes and eating leaves.
At first, they would look up from time to time, alerting themselves to possible dangers around them, but as time went by, no trace of predators appeared. They gradually relaxed their vigilance and immersed themselves in eating.
However, what these sheep did not notice was that a group of hunters were slowly approaching using the cover of the trees.
Suddenly, a goat at the edge discovered something. It immediately bleated to alert its companions, and then turned around and ran away as fast as possible.
Other goats that received the reminder also ran for their lives. They were very smart. They did not just run to one place, but spread out in all directions, making it impossible for hunters to target the entire group. At most, they could only chase one individual. .
In fact, Datz and the others did not intend to chase all the goats. Before the hunt, they focused on one of the goats whose legs and feet seemed to be injured.
The injury on the goat's leg was not completely healed, and although it was not slow in running, it was still not as fast as other goats.
Soon, along with a wolf howl, several strong beast shadows flashed out. A young orc who transformed into a ferocious giant tiger took the lead. He tried to knock the prey to the ground with a tiger pounce. Unfortunately, he was inexperienced in hunting and found a way to pounce. The angle was not precise enough, and he failed to catch the prey. He only narrowly hooked a lamb leg, and was kicked wildly to escape.
If he were hunting alone, his hunting operation would have failed. Fortunately, he was not the only orc in this educational hunt.
Seeing that the prey was about to escape, a sturdy half-wolf orc suddenly appeared in front of the goat that was trying to escape at an extremely fast speed, blocking its way and forcing it to turn.
However, the goat turned in the wrong direction, so soon another orc flapped its huge wings and used its sharp claws to drive the goat away, forcing it back into the teaching circle.
There, in addition to the young tiger orc who had just failed to attack, there was also a young wolf orc who was staring at the prey eagerly.
His skills were better than those of the tiger orcs. When the goat approached him in a panic, he immediately pursued him head-on. Before the opponent had time to turn around, he opened his big mouth and bit fiercely. He locked his throat and used his strength. The force knocks the prey to the ground.
Seeing that his companion's attack was successful, the tiger orc man did not hold back and quickly came over to help suppress the prey with his weight. He also bit the prey's lower back to control all its struggles.
While two young orcs were fighting with their prey, a muscular figure followed close behind. She did not have the sharp teeth of the beasts, but it did not prevent her from holding a sharpened stick, aiming it straight into the goat's eyes. , stabbed through his brain.
The orc's powerful strength provided strong support for her fatal blow. When the prey kicked its legs twice and stopped moving, the hunt was declared over.
"We succeeded!"
The first time they succeeded in hunting, the two young men felt a sense of accomplishment. They happily lay on the prey, bit off a piece of meat and swallowed it. In this way, they swore that the ownership of the prey belonged to them. of.
Not forgetting the other cub who helped with the wound, the wolf orc also tore a piece of meat from the goat's belly and handed it to Chili.
Chi Li did not refuse. After taking it, she said thank you, then turned around and handed the meat to Datz: "Abba, here it is for you to eat."
"Our little boy is so filial."
The first time he got food from a cub, Datz was so happy that he didn't know what to do with it. If the meat hadn't spoiled if kept for a long time, he wouldn't have eaten it at all, and he might have kept the meat forever.
In the end, Datz ate the meat given to him by the cub, but he ate it very slowly, as if he was happily savoring the taste.
In fact, this piece of meat is similar to the meat of any goat, but Datz just thinks it tastes better than the meat of other goats.
According to regulations, all prey hunted by the tribe belongs to the tribe, but the main hunter can get priority distribution and can be the first to enjoy the food he kills.
So the other orcs waited patiently for the excited young men to take a few bites of meat before stepping forward to lift the prey and prepare to take it back to the group.
This goat is just a normal size. It is definitely not enough to feed twenty people in the group. Orcs have big appetites, especially carnivorous orcs such as tiger and wolf types. They can eat thirty or forty kilograms of meat in one meal. Fortunately, they can only eat it in one day. Just have one meal.
Therefore, in order to fill the stomachs of the tribesmen, Datz had to lead the tribesmen to continue hunting.
The next hunt is not something Chili can participate in.
Even the two young men were excluded. The three of them sat in a row, hiding on a hill somewhere, watching how the orcs who had grown up for a long time and had rich hunting experience cooperated tacitly, and how they had experienced it. After hundreds of battles, they killed a mammoth that was three times larger than an adult elephant in one fell swoop, turning it into their food for the next week to half a month.
Such a big mammoth was killed like this. I have to say that the scene was shocking.
When the mammoth fell, Chili and the others all cheered, and then ran over to help bring the giant beast back.
In the short term, Datz and the others no longer need to go hunting, which is a good thing, but how to preserve such a large prey and protect it from being snatched by other beasts or orcs is a very troublesome matter.
However, winter has passed, and without the help of the natural refrigerator, the only thing they can do is to eat the prey as soon as possible, otherwise the prey will spoil.
Although the orcs eat raw food, they do not eat scavengers. After paying a lot of lives of their ancestors, basically every orc knows that spoiled food cannot be eaten, otherwise they will die.
The original owner was also told this survival knowledge from an early age.
However, this was the past, and now Chili wants to make some changes.
What are some ways to store food for a long time?
The most well-known ones are naturally pickling, smoking, and freezing. The latter currently does not have the conditions. The former two smoke without fire, but pickling is possible.
There are salt mines nearby.
The Datse people say they are nomadic, but to be more precise, they live a regular migration life following their prey. Their activity range is very wide, covering large areas of mountains, rivers, grasslands, and basically all types of terrain.
After generations of survival and countless ancestors' explorations, they have basically mapped out the areas where the tribe lives, including the locations of various resources necessary for survival.
Regardless of the organism, regular salt intake is a must.
So the Datse tribe also knows where to find salt. It happens that there is a salt mine near the cave where they currently live. There is a lot of salt there. The tribesmen will go there to collect some salt blocks and then eat them directly. Lose.
When Chili was given a small piece of salt for the first time, she was a little dazed. It wasn't until Madam Tiger told her to lick two handfuls of it that she realized that this is how the orcs eat salt.
I almost couldn't help but ask them on the spot why they didn't add salt to their food. Later, I thought that this was a primitive society and everyone might not have thought that they could eat like this, so they stopped arguing.
No matter how much you talk about it, it’s not as intuitive as getting started and doing it.
"Lili, what are you doing?" Simon squatted next to Chili and watched in confusion as she took a lot of salt and smeared it on the pieces of cut meat.
"Play." Chili couldn't explain her actions, so she simply thought it was a cub that was ignorant and playful, and then accidentally discovered the pickling and storage method.
Hearing what she said, Simon suddenly felt that Chili's behavior became interesting, and immediately expressed that he also wanted to play together. Then Chili caught the young man, and the two cubs rubbed salt cubes on the meat together.
Chili doesn’t know if the salt in the salt mine can be eaten directly. Anyway, no one has died after eating it for so many years, so it should be possible to use it directly to marinate meat.
The marinated meat pieces were pierced by Chi Li on a thin stick and placed in a ventilated place near the entrance of the cave to dry in the shade.
The adults didn't understand what the two cubs were doing, so they just thought they were playing. Even after Chi Li seriously told her not to touch her marinated meat before eating the fresh meat, they were still very good-tempered. He agreed, and no one really touched the meat, just treating it as children's toys.
The orcs have no idea that they can't play with food. In their opinion, anyway, this time they hunted for a very big guy, so big that they didn't finish it before it went bad. Since it was destined to be wasted, it didn't matter if they were eaten by the cubs. Take some and play with it.
There are only these two cubs in the group, and it is unlikely that there will be more in the short term, so although everyone does not say anything, they dote on them in action.
However, this indulgent play turned into an unexpected surprise when it was discovered that the marinated meat pieces were not spoiled less than half a month later.
"Really, the meat is not bad!"
Out of curiosity, all the adults took a bite of the marinated and air-dried meat. At this time, the meat had turned into dried meat. The texture was very different from fresh meat, but it had a unique flavor.
Chi Li also took a bite and found it was too salty. In order to increase the storage time as much as possible, she added a lot of salt.
But no matter how salty the meat is, it is still better than just licking the salt block directly.
Facing the expectant eyes of the Shang clan people, Chi Li naturally taught everyone the pickling and storage method without any secret.
In fact, this method is very simple, but no one had thought of it before. When it was discovered, everyone immediately felt a sense of enlightenment, and then they understood that salt can be used to pickle food, which can not only increase the storage time of food, but also Add flavor to food.
Yes, in this era when raw food is generally eaten, this group of orcs from the Dats tribe finally tried different ways of eating food for the first time, and also realized the charm of delicious food for the first time.
Although this delicacy looked like over-salted meat jerky in Chili's mouth, it was quite shocking in the eyes of the tribesmen who had never tried this kind of food.
To put it bluntly, the ignorant orcs feel good about whatever they eat.
That is to say, Chi Li can't get the fire right now, otherwise she will definitely let everyone try cooked food. That is the beginning of real deliciousness.
However, Chili has been trying to drill wood to make fire every day for more than half a month, but she doesn't know whether it's because she failed to master the core skills or whether she did something wrong. Anyway, so far, she has only made a little bit of trouble. Ash, there is no way to make a flame.
Fire is the origin of the birth of human civilization. Whether in the East or the West, there are myths and legends related to the fire of life. This shows the importance of fire in the development of human beings.
The same goes for orcs.
So Chi Li believes that if she wants to fulfill the original owner's wish, she must create fire.
“I feel like the way to make fire by drilling wood is dead.”
Chili had suspected that she might not be strong enough as a cub, so she asked the adults for help. However, even the strongest bear orcs couldn't make a spark. In the end, this method of making fire could only be used. can end in failure.
Sighing, Chi Li began to think about whether there was any other way to obtain fire from nature.
Before she could think of a new idea, it started to rain heavily outside.
It rains a lot in spring, and everyone is used to it.
After learning the salting and storage method, the tribesmen would pickle the excess food from hunting with a large amount of salt, tie it with straw ropes and hang it in a ventilated and cool place to slowly turn into dried meat.
The method of making straw ropes was not taught by Chi Li, but people already knew it. The orcs even specially selected straw vines with good flexibility to weave straw ropes to make them stronger and more durable.
At the same time, some tools from the primitive period are slowly appearing.
For example, bone needles, knives ground from bones or stone fragments, etc.
This is normal. Although the enhancement of the beast form makes most orcs not weak in combat, and they can also work as a team and cooperate with each other, their hunting success rate has always been at the top of the food chain, but their superb intelligence is also driving them. They create tools to make life easier.
Not only are they the most primitive knives, but Chi Li once saw tribesmen using something similar to a medicine bowl to crush herbs and then apply them on wounds.
Even when beasts are injured and sick, they will instinctively look for some herbs to swallow. Naturally, the orcs also have some knowledge of herbs.
They know how to find some medicines that can be used to stop bleeding, reduce inflammation or treat simple diseases to treat injuries and diseases. When the original owner had a fever, he was fed a bitter concoction by the tribe in a daze. A medicine used to treat fever.
It's a pity that maybe the medicine didn't work, or the original owner was too seriously ill, so she couldn't survive it in the end, allowing Chi Li to take her place in this world.
There was a "boom", accompanied by heavy rain, and lightning and thunder began outside. Facing this terrible punishment, the tribesmen all huddled together in fear, huddled together and shivered.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."
Chili was once again held in Madam Tiger's arms, and the long tiger tail slapped her back, soothing her emotions, but through the other person's trembling body, Chili knew that she was also afraid.
However, no matter how scared they were, the strong young orcs still consciously stayed on the outside, surrounding the older orcs and cubs in the middle to protect them, forming a circular protective circle.
Even though they were all staying in the cave at this time, the terrible sound of heavenly punishment outside the cave would still scare everyone into a fight. Even Datz, who thought he was the strongest and bravest, couldn't help but use a fearful expression. Looking at the sky outside.
In his memory, he had seen more than once, the scene of a tribesman being hit by heaven's punishment, and then turned into a charred corpse and died. Not only them orcs, but also many trees and beasts will die under the punishment of heaven. , this kind of death is even irresistible.
They can fight the most terrifying beasts, but they are completely unable to compete with the thunder falling from the sky. This is the most despairing and terrifying thing.
So every time there is thunder, the orcs regard it as a punishment from heaven. As for who will God punish?
They will only pray that it is not just themselves and their clansmen.
I don’t know how long it took, but the rain outside gradually subsided, and even the thunder began to become sparse. Everyone thought that the disaster was over, and gradually relaxed the protective circle.
Suddenly, the whole world, including the inside of the cave, lit up. The orcs who felt it immediately hugged together in shock, and then as expected, a huge thunder sounded, deafening.
Listening to the sound, Chi Li judged that the thunder should have landed not far from them.
When the thunder subsided, she quietly raised her head and looked outside. Sure enough, a tree outside the cave was scorched by lightning, and there was a raging fire burning on it, which was slowly extinguished by the rain.
fire! It's going to be destroyed!
At this moment, Chili felt as if there was a lightning flashing in her head. She immediately ignored her family members and rushed out, heading straight for the flames that had not yet been extinguished.
Because Chi Li moved so fast and was caught off guard, no one could stop her.
Datz's heart suddenly skipped a beat and he shouted loudly: "Lili, it's dangerous outside, come back quickly!"
He wanted to rush over and catch his cub, but he was still a step too late. There was another thunderous boom outside, which frightened him to stop, but it was only for a moment. Datz's protective desire for the cub still made him... Overcoming his fear of divine punishment, he still rushed out after Chi Li.
There was only a drizzle of rain outside, and Chili didn't notice the frightened old father behind her. She only wanted to get the natural fire in front of her, and she had to take it back before the rain extinguished it.
Fortunately, there was still a raging flame inside the split tree. Chi Li looked around and broke off a relatively thick branch from the split tree, then stretched it to the fire source in the middle of the tree. Let the fire light the branches.
It was difficult to light the branches that were wet by the rain. Chili waited for a long time, until her old father caught up with her, and then she saw the top of the branches being lit.
"It's on fire! Dad, help me block it quickly, don't let the rain put out the fire."
Before he could reprimand the cub for such dangerous behavior regardless of his life, Datz was commanded to open up the animal skin he was wearing and return to the cave while protecting the burning flames.
Chili was very careful all the way, fearing that a sudden strong wind would blow out the fire. Fortunately, she was very lucky. The fire on the branch was still burning until she entered the cave.
Not daring to waste time, Chili immediately brought the fire to a corner, where there were piles of hay and firewood that she had collected these days to drill wood for fire, which was just in time to be used as fire-making materials.
He quickly gathered the dry firewood together, sprinkled hay on it, then brought the flame in his hand closer, and with a breath, all the tribesmen subconsciously leaned back, and then resisted the attraction of the insufficient light, and began to gradually come closer, surrounding the Pile of Flames looked curiously.
Someone couldn't hold back and tentatively stretched out his hand to the flame, wanting to touch it to see what it was.
Chi Li blocked the man's hand in time and reminded him: "It's hot."
However, she blocked one but did not block the second one. A curious cat orc stretched his claws towards the fire, and was quickly burned back. A small part of the fur on his claws was burnt, and there was still a burning pain. He couldn't help but lick his paws all the time.
"I told you it was very hot, yet you still touched it."
Chili helplessly checked the cat-orc man's injuries, and saw that there was nothing serious, so he didn't pay much attention.
"Wait for me, don't let anyone touch the fire."
After warning his old father, he got up and took down two pieces of bacon hanging from the ceiling of the cave, threaded them on the sharpened wooden sticks at the top, and hung them over the fire to roast.
Everyone watched Chi Li's actions quietly, sniffing from time to time, as if they smelled a fragrance they had never smelled before.
After roasting for a while, he estimated that the surface of the meat was almost cooked. Chi Li took it back, used a sharp bone knife to cut off the outer layer of cooked meat, and then put back the unripe part inside. The fire was turned on to continue roasting, and the cooked meat was cut into small pieces and distributed to each tribesman.
"Whoosh..."
Since Datz was the closest, he was the first orc to be given the meat. The freshly roasted meat was still very hot. Datz held it in his hand and turned it back and forth several times. When the meat was no longer so hot, he Then he tentatively took it and put it in his mouth.
Take a bite, it’s delicious!
His eyes were bright, and Datz couldn't help but look at the other meats that were still roasting on the fire. The pieces of meat that the cub gave him couldn't even be counted as a bite, and he was not satisfied at all.
"The meat is delicious. I'll get it again."
The smart Datz knew that he could only be satisfied if he had enough roasted meat, so he didn't think about leaving any roasted meat. Instead, he got up to get more marinated meat and imitated the cub's behavior. Thread them all on wooden sticks and bake them over the fire.
The main focus is self-reliance.
It was the first time I tried barbecue by myself. Datz didn’t do a very good job. The surface of the meat was partially burnt. But compared to the raw food, cooked food, especially cooked food with added salt and flavor, is really out of this world. A rare and delicious dish.
So Datz didn't mind his poor cooking skills at all, and he ate the barbecue pieces until his mouth was full of oil.
Seeing this, other people followed suit, and then the Datse tribe tasted cooked food for the first time in their lives.
Because of this, they understood the first function of fire: it can be used to cook food.
At night, everyone understood the second function of fire: to drive away darkness and bring light.
In the process of coming into contact with this magical new thing, the tribesmen were all warned by Chi Li'er that flames are good, but also very dangerous. Don't play with fire casually, let alone get too close, otherwise you will die if you are burned by the fire. of.
The tribesmen have never seen anyone killed by fire, but they know that they must avoid the danger of death. Therefore, no matter how curious and yearning they are about fire, no one crosses the safe distance prescribed by Chili.
Having fire is just the first step. How to save it next is still a problem.
It has been proven before that it is too difficult to start a fire by yourself in this era. This time, Chi Li took the risk to get the fire from the lightning strike wood. If it goes out, it is not so easy to get the fire again.
So they must protect this hard-won fire.
It's easy to keep the fire alive, just keep it burning and don't extinguish it.
For this reason, Chi Li also talked to Daci specifically, with the intention of asking her father for help and letting the tribesmen work together to maintain this hard-won fire.
In fact, there was no need for Chili to request. As the clan leader, Datz was already keenly aware of the importance of fire. He issued an order to the clan members: "Protect the fire and never extinguish it."
From then on, every time the Dats tribe went out or slept at night, they would leave a tribesman to guard the fire. Once they noticed that there was insufficient burning material in the fire, they would immediately replenish it.
Some tribesmen who usually have less time were assigned a task to collect firewood.
Firewood made from felled trees and dried in the sun was more durable, and they even invented a tool for cutting wood: the axe.
Making an ax is not difficult. Under Chili's hint, Datz, who is quick-witted and is already good at making tools, sharpened the thin side of a stone that was thick on one side and thin on the other, and then made the stone sharper. Cut out two grooves on the thick side and tie it to a thick wooden stick with a rope. In this way, a simple primitive-era version of the ax is ready.
Chi Li has tried to use this ax to chop firewood, but it seems that it is still a bit difficult to use. After all, no matter how well the stone is ground, it is not as sharp as metal, and its hardness is also limited. If a stone ax is used to chop wood all the time, As for firewood, its service life is not long.
But the chopped firewood is enough to keep the fire going.
In order to keep the flame alive, Chili also found a way to create a torch.
Making a torch is not difficult. It just involves wrapping some useless animal skin scraps and some relatively flexible hay around one end of a thick wooden stick to become a torch.
The grease left in animal hides is the best fuel for a torch, and hay will keep the torch burning better.
In fact, if you have fabric or fuel, you can make a better torch. However, Chili has nothing on hand now. It is already amazing to be able to make this primitive torch.
Because there are still some minor flaws, the burning time of a torch is not long, and it can only last for a small half hour, but it is still very good.
When Datz and the others hunt at night, they can carry a few more with them and use them alternately, so that they can borrow torches for lighting and drive away some of the more terrifying beasts.
Beasts are afraid of fire, which Datz discovered later in an accident.
At that time, the fire in their cave lacked burning material and was reduced to the lowest level. It was not extinguished, but it also made the light in the cave much dim. It was also at this time that a group of hungry beasts appeared outside the cave. They were a group of long An unknown beast that looks a bit like a gangster, but much taller and more ferocious than such beasts.
Chili's magical power was blocked and she couldn't even open the portable space, but the keen perception brought by her powerful soul still allowed her to detect the enemy's attack immediately.
This was exactly the period when their ethnic group's defense was weak.
Most of the young orcs in the clan went out for night hunting under the leadership of Simon's father. Datz, the clan leader, still stayed in the cave. However, the enemies that came back this time were too many and too powerful. They only relied on the only remaining orcs in the cave. It is simply not enough to withstand this crisis.
But no matter what, Chili immediately issued a warning to the sleeping tribesmen: "Everyone, get up, there are many wild beasts surrounding us!"
The tribesmen who were not completely asleep immediately got up when they heard the sound, and then the warning sound from the tribe leader also sounded: "Enemy attack, danger, enemy attack!"
Uncle Bear immediately picked up the two cubs Chili and Simon and burrowed deeper into the cave. The other tribe members, including Aunt Tiger, stood up and bravely faced the enemy.
They are not sure that they can defeat the enemy, but their inherited instinct tells them that when encountering danger, even if it is an unbeatable enemy, they must fight to protect their cubs.
Forced to flee, Chili also learned for the first time that the cave they lived in did not have only one exit. It was connected in all directions and had many exits to the outside world. However, these exits were either too hidden or too small. It was hard to blame the tribesmen. I generally don’t go that way.
But as escape routes in times of emergency, these exits play a great role. At this time, Uncle Bear was taking the two cubs and running towards one of the farthest exits. As a result, he had just reached that exit and had not yet reached it. Before he could use brute force to widen the opening so that they could get out, he heard the howling of a wolf from behind.
Even Chi Li, who has lived in the orc world for the shortest time, can tell that there is no danger in this wolf howl. On the contrary, it is shouted to convey the meaning of "the crisis is over".
As if to confirm Chi Li's guess, this sound was followed by another wolf howl, but this time the sound was softer than the previous one.
It represents "calling", which is the adult orc calling the cubs.
Hearing these two different howls, Uncle Xiong immediately stopped and waited for a while. It was not until the third howl of "Calling the Clan" also sounded that he confirmed that the crisis outside was really lifted. Now, you can go back and gather with the clansmen.
"Come on, it's okay, let's go back."
Uncle Bear happily led the cubs back to meet the tribesmen. On the way, he was still wondering if the hunting team had just returned, and then he rescued the tribesmen who were in danger.
But in fact, the hunting team has not returned yet. The reason why Datz and the others were able to defeat the attackers was because during the fight, he accidentally picked up an unused torch and ignited the flame, using it as a weapon. , waving to greet the attacker.
It is natural for wild beasts to be afraid of fire. When they saw fire, they immediately ran away, but Datz was too fast, and one of the attackers still failed to escape and was hit by the burning torch.
"Ow..."
It wailed, and its body couldn't bear the power of Datz and collapsed to the ground. Before it was over, the flames ignited the fur on its body and suddenly burned on its surface. Suddenly, its entire beast turned into a big ball. The fireball, pain and fear of death forced it to keep running around. In its panic, it bumped into many of its kind and set some unlucky ones on fire.
In this way, beasts passed from beast to beast, and the orcs and the attackers witnessed in horror how the beasts ignited by the flames were burned alive. The scene was quite terrifying.
When Chili and the others followed Uncle Xiong back to the group, they only smelled the burning smell that had not dissipated in the air, and did not see any burned animal carcasses.
The beasts that were burned to death by fire were so scary that even the orcs did not dare to keep these dead beasts as food. They simply dragged them all out and threw them away far away, so as not to scare the cubs by leaving them here.
"Is Lili okay?"
Chi Li was picked up by her father as soon as she came back, and Simon was held in his mother's arms. Even though they knew that the cub had not been seriously harmed, they still received warm comfort from their immediate family members.
"I'm fine, dad, don't worry."
Chili turned over and comforted Datz, and then listened to him fearfully talk about the power of fire, and solemnly ordered the tribesmen to be more cautious about fire in the future and not to get too close casually to avoid accidents.
In fact, there is no need for the clan leader to remind him again and again. After this incident and witnessing how terrifying things like fire are, no one dares to relax their attention to safety when using fire.
Chi Li hid in her father's arms and secretly observed the expressions of the clan members. Seeing that everyone was afraid of returning, but no one proposed to give up Huo, she was silently relieved.
It seems that the tribesmen have completely accepted the existence of fire, and believe that the convenience of fire outweighs the potential harm it brings.
This also proves that the ideas of the tribesmen are slowly changing.
"You're hungry, come and eat some meat."
They had just experienced a battle, and even though it was still dark, everyone had no intention of continuing to sleep. They felt their stomachs, and some tribesmen who felt hungry got up and took down the dried meat hanging on the ceiling of the cave to gnaw.
They don't bother to cook the meat and just eat it like this.
Datz also seemed to think that the frightened cub needed to be comforted by food, so he also brought a piece of dried meat to Chili.
Chi Li was hungry, but not hungry, but hunger and greed were two different things. She felt it was good to chew something in her mouth, so she took the food handed over by her old father, tore off a small piece with her hands and stuffed it into her mouth.
As soon as the meat entered her mouth, Chili felt something was wrong.
"This meat..."
"The meat is spoiled?" Datz asked.
"No, no, the meat is fine, it's just smoked." From air-dried meat to smoked jerky.
It’s not surprising when you think about it. In order to preserve the fire, they kept lighting fires in the cave 24 hours a day. The heat and smoke generated by the burning fire rose up, and the top of the cave was covered with marinated meat. Could it be that the conditions for making smoked meat jerky were reached by mistake?
In fact, if it hadn't been for this crop, Chi Li would not have remembered that they could make smoked meat jerky that would last longer and be more convenient to eat. After being prompted, she decided to consciously make more smoked meat in the future. Dry.
Spring is already halfway through, and the herbivores are about to start their large-scale migration again. In order to chase their prey, the Datz tribe needs to set off again and embark on a wandering journey. Chili must also leave here with the tribe.
It's not that she has any nostalgia for this cave, but it's just that a wandering life is different from a settled life, so Chili wants to make as many preparations as possible.
Stocking up on food that has a long shelf life and is easy to carry is one of them.
When it comes to carrying, we have to mention the straw bags that Chili led the tribe to weave themselves.
The orcs have already begun to have the awareness of carrying luggage, and derived from this is a storage method similar to large packages.
That is to say, lay a large complete animal skin flat on the ground, then put all the needed things inside, wrap them all with the animal skin, and secure it with ropes to form the most simple and primitive package.
Chi Li has no intention of changing this wrapping method, because it is still edible. The change she made is to teach the tribe how to use local materials and use thin ropes made of hay and vines to weave into a wrapper that can be hung on the waist and carried around. A small straw bag, convenient for stuffing small things like jerky knives into it.
Speaking of which, she learned this straw knitting technique from Jian Yuan on a desert island world.
Thanks to Mr. Jian Yuan Handicraft, it turns out that it is always useful to learn more skills.
The tribesmen who were new to straw weaving were not dexterous enough. Before setting off, they barely made themselves a straw bag to carry dried meat with them. For the wandering orc tribe, food was the most important thing.
Chili is more skilled. She knitted two straw bags for herself, one on the left and one on the right.
One side of the bag was stuffed with smoked dried meat cut into small pieces just like the tribesmen. The other side of the bag contained some bits and pieces of her personal belongings, which were the bone needles and bones she had collected during this period. Knives and other items.
Chili has not felt safe since she came to this world. One is that the environment here is not much safer than in the apocalypse.
It is even more dangerous to a certain extent. At least modern human technology still exists in the apocalyptic world. To deal with zombies and mutated animals and plants, humans can also use reinforced concrete to build defenses and use thermal weapons to kill enemies. Wait, and here they can only fight with various ferocious beasts with their bodies.

If she dares to break through the limitations of world consciousness and use power that does not exist in this world, she will definitely suffer severe backlash, ranging from serious injuries to death on the spot. It will implicate the body in the fairy world.
Chi Li came to the lower world to experience, not to harm herself, so she decided to be as good as she could in this world, and would never do anything out of the ordinary.
