Go through the wild and seek life

Chapter 38 Traps and Salt
"Boom!"

On the cliff, the sound of snow collapsing startled Rudama.As the snow continued to roll down, the cave where she and Ye Yuan lived was completely buried.

Rudama finally understood why Ye wanted to move.I think that every year when the snow melts, the cave will be buried by the collapsed snow, so Ye made such a tree hole, so Ye told herself "danger" when she asked about it.So, was Ye ever trapped in a cave?Then how did he get out?
Then Rudama shook his head again, throwing away his silly thoughts.With Ye Ye's vigilance and keenness, he will find out when there are signs of an avalanche, how could he be buried.

The days of melting snow like this lasted for more than 20 days, and everywhere was wet and muddy, like a swamp.Rudama stayed on the tree.Ye returned from hunting every day as if he had rolled in muddy water, so Rudama boiled the water in advance so that he could take a bath when he came back.At this time, Rudama is always thankful that it is great to have a tortoise shell brazier, otherwise I really don't know how to boil water, cook and keep warm on the tree.

After all the snow water melted and was absorbed by the soil, Rudama and Ye moved back to the cave.However, due to the pouring of snow water, the cave was also very humid.Rudama set all the turtle shells on fire and roasted them for a day to dry out the cave.

Soon after, spring came, new shoots grew on the bald trees for the winter, the grass on the ground also broke through the ground, and the stream in the canyon began to trickle.Rudama designated the day when the stream thawed as "a spring day in the wild calendar".

Rudama is the happiest about the change of weather.She finally didn't have to be confined to the small space in the cave, and she didn't have to wear three or four layers of animal skins and guard the brazier.

Besides, she has many plans to implement.

For example, looking for seasonings; another example, looking for herbs; most importantly, how to make Ye stronger.

The last point is the most critical.Rudama began to consider making weapons for Ye.What weapon is good?It should be convenient to carry when you turn into a leopard at night, but also handy and practical.If you can kill a giant beast from a distance, you can reduce the damage you may receive in close combat.In close combat, Ye didn't need a weapon, nothing could compare to his sharp claws after transforming into a leopard.

After considering various factors, Rudama decided to make bows and arrows.

She first found a strong and resilient tree branch, simmered it into an arc, and then twisted three strong animal skin ropes together to form a bowstring.Of course, this failed many times before it was made into what Rudama imagined.Numerous adjustments were made while testing the bow's usability.

Rudama found that Ye was a studious and smart boy.When she was doing all this, Ye just watched curiously at first, but later she imitated Rudama's steps with the materials and did it successfully.This makes Lu Dama, a teacher who has failed countless times, feel so embarrassed.

When making arrows, it all depends on the night.Ask Ye to help her find smoother branches, remove the excess branches, and tie the arrows to the sharp animal bones polished by Ye.Considering the stability of the arrow after flying out and in order to fly farther, Rudama installed the kind of leaves that she could use as toilet paper on the tail of the arrow.As for why no feathers?No!
Rudama wondered why he never caught birds to eat at night. Didn't "Animal World" say that leopards mainly eat antelopes and birds?

However, Rudama drew a picture of a bird and told him that this kind of animal is called a "bird", so that Ye should remember to catch it when he sees it.

On the same day, Ye lived up to Rudama's expectations and caught two.

And Rudama also understood why Ye didn't catch birds for food.It's not that the bird is too small to fit between his teeth.In this world, Rudama has never seen a "small" animal.

These two birds look like quails, only slightly smaller than ostriches.As for why Ye didn't catch him, Rudama almost laughed out loud when he knew the reason.

Can you imagine a leopard that eats meat and knows how to skin it, and doesn't shed its hair when it eats birds?The "quail" was caught that night, yes, Rudama was lazy, so he called this bird "quail".

Rudama was dumbfounded when he saw Ye Jiang skewering the quail without washing, rinsing and hair shedding directly on the branch of a tree for roasting.Quickly snatched the quail, boiled hot water, molted, cleaned the internal organs, and then put it on the fire to roast.

When the delicious grilled quail meat was in his mouth, Ye finally knew that the bird meat was also delicious, and he no longer had to get feathers stuck in his throat.

In the future, there will be another kind of delicious and easy prey to hunt.For Ye, quail, a fat, stupid bird that can't fly high, is the best thing to catch.

Looking at Rudama's eyes, there was another level of admiration. This weak-looking little guy really knows a lot. Do you think you have picked up a treasure?

Rudama didn't understand Ye's mental activities.She only thought that with feathers, the stability and flight distance of arrows must be much better than those with leaves.

With bows and arrows, Rudama began to teach Ye how to use them, and sewed a rucksack similar to a rucksack, which was fixed on Ye's body for bows and arrows when he transformed into a leopard.

Ye's cleverness is not hidden. It took only a while to master the use of bows and arrows. After two days, he can point and shoot.Rudama has to say that Ye is really a natural hunter. With weapons, Ye is almost the same as a leopard when hunting.

Ye understands very well that close combat takes a lot of energy and is easy to get injured.How good is the bow and arrow, if you look at it from a distance and give it twice, the prey will be brought down, so save your energy.As a result, I became more certain in my heart that I really found a treasure.

It turns out that the terrible fire in my eyes can make delicious food and keep the body warm.There are also clothes, tools, and weapons. The names of these things were told to him by Rudama, and they were also thought up and made by Rudama.What other magical things are in this weak little guy's head?
Ye is more and more looking forward to what Rudama will do next.

Rudama didn't know what Ye Xin thought of her at this time.After having a bow and arrow, she had a new idea.She wants to set up a trap in this canyon, so that if any beast invades, the safety of herself and Ye can be better guaranteed.

So the action-minded Rudama started digging holes at the entrance of the canyon with a shovel made of animal bones.Ye looked behind her curiously, and Rudama justifiably arrested him for labor.

Rudama commanded Ye to dig a row of two-meter-deep and one-meter-wide trenches at the entrance of the canyon, leaving only a two-meter-wide area close to the left cliff wall as a road into the canyon.He also asked Ye to insert sharpened tree branches and sharper animal bones in the ditch so that the sharp points pointed upward.Spread branches, leaves, and floating soil on top.A perfect fortification is done successfully.In order to prevent his own people from falling down, Rudama made two rows of marks on both sides of the trench trap, telling Ye where to step on and where not to step on, and if you encounter difficult guys again, lead them here to push them down , making sure they become hedgehogs.
