wild trail

Chapter 78 Entering the Forest
The night was very peaceful, with no wild animals attacking. Although the deer tried several times to break out of the fence, they calmed down after repeated futile attempts. Generally speaking, there was no major disturbance this night.

The next day, Wang Lang went to the fence to check on the deer herd. When the deer saw humans approaching, they immediately became nervous.

After a while, the deer found that the human beings in front of them were just standing here and did not make any attack. The restless deer gradually stabilized.

Wang Lang smiled, explained a few words to Huo, and returned to the tribe by himself.

Seeing Wang Lang coming back, Kong Er stepped forward and asked, "Boss, how are those deer?"

"It's okay, just give them something to eat, don't starve them to death." Wang Lang said.

"Then what do you feed them?" Bark asked.

Wang Lang thought for a while and said, "Get some green grass by the river and sprinkle some salt water on it. This kind of herbivore should be easy to feed."

"Okay, I'll go and cut some grass now." After the bark finished speaking, he was about to go out with a sickle.

Wang Lang stopped him and said, "Just let the women do this. The three of you will go to the forest with me later."

"What are you going to do in the forest?" asked Bark.

Wang Lang said: "Find a thicker tree and make something to hold water for those deer to drink. The current wood is too thin."

"Okay, let's get ready!" Bark responded.

Wang Lang nodded, and then said to the three women: "You guys cook now, and send some to the fire later. Remember to bring a weapon when mowing the grass. Be sure to leave one person to observe the surroundings."

The women nodded, and Wang Lang asked them to prepare breakfast.

After breakfast, the four of them took their tools and left the tribe.

Although the sink can be made of wood, with Wang Lang's carpentry level, there is no way to make something watertight. He can only use the simplest method, find a relatively thick tree, directly hollow out the trunk, and use it as a sink use.

The trees on the edge of the jungle are small trees as thick as thighs. To find trees that meet the requirements, Wang Lang can only go deep into the jungle to find them.

Looking at the dark dense forest, Wang Lang took a deep breath. The forest in front of him always gave him a very uneasy feeling, and he always felt that the inside of this jungle was very dangerous.

Shupi looked at Wang Lang with an uncertain expression, and asked, "Patriarch, what's wrong."

Wang Lang said lightly: "It's okay, let's go on, everyone be careful!"

"Boss, do we really want to go in?" Kong Yi looked at the forest in front of him with some fear.

"Well, let's not go too far, there are so many of us and we still have weapons, don't worry! It's okay." Wang Lang said pretending to be calm.

Kong [-] and Kong [-] looked at each other. The legend of this forest of death made them very afraid of this forest. They didn't feel so scared when they moved around the edge, but this time when they walked in here, the two felt a little tingling in their backs. cold.

But seeing that Wang Lang and Shupi had already walked towards the jungle, although they were afraid in their hearts, they still gritted their teeth and followed.

The forest and the grassland are almost two completely different worlds. The dense trees here almost block all the sunlight outside. It is dark and humid all the year round, and the air is full of dead branches and leaves. The smell of decay makes people feel very uncomfortable.

Although they felt that this forest was extremely strange, Wang Lang and Shupi had lived in the forest for a long time, so they were more comfortable with this environment.

As for the two people who have been living on the grassland, Kong Yi Kong Er, this environment is a torture for them, the hot and humid air makes them sweat profusely after walking for a long time.

Fortunately, after walking for a long time, Wang Lang found a suitable target. It was a big tree surrounded by one person, with a straight trunk reaching straight into the sky. Wang Lang estimated that the tree was at least ten meters high, and he did not know how many years it had grown. .

The bark wiped the sweat from his neck, patted the trunk and said: "This tree is not bad, patriarch, let's leave it alone. Let's cut it down early and go back early. This place is really unpopular."

Wang Lang smiled and said, "When I was living in the jungle, I never heard you complain. Why are you complaining now?"

"That's different. I haven't lived in the grassland before, and now I know that staying in the forest is uncomfortable." Bark laughed.

Wang Lang knew that this was the so-called easy transition from frugality to extravagance, and difficulty from extravagance to frugality, so he didn't care. He wiped off his sweat and said, "Everyone, work harder, we'll go back after we finish this."

For this kind of big tree, there are skills in how to cut it down. If you cut it carelessly, it is easy to cause casualties.

Wang Lang asked Kong Yi to put down the basket with the tools, took out an axe, and said to them, "In the future, when you cut down such a big tree, you must make a big gap, and the tree will fall in the direction of the gap." , When you feel that the tree is about to fall, you must not stand in the direction of the gap, this must be remembered.”

Although people didn't know the reason for this, they also knew that if they were hit by such a thick tree, they would definitely be smashed into a pile of meat. Everyone listened carefully to Wang Lang's words.

Wang Lang spat on the palm of his hand and swung the ax towards the tree trunk.

This kind of tall tree looks as straight as a pine tree, but its trunk is as fragile as a poplar tree, and the wood chips fly away when it is chopped down with an axe.

After the four of them took turns chopping down, an hour later, the tree, which had grown for an unknown amount of time, finally made a rattling sound and came to the end of its life.

Hearing this sound, Kong Er who was chopping the tree hurriedly ran aside with the others and watched the big tree fall little by little from a distance.

During the fall of such a huge tree, a large number of branches were broken by the force of the fall.

With a loud bang, the tree trunk fell to the ground, startling countless birds.

Seeing Ping An cut down the big tree, Wang Lang heaved a sigh of relief. Such a big tree could not be transported out by these few people, so Wang Lang could only choose to process it on the spot.

Wang Lang asked people to use a saw to cut the trunk into small sections of about four meters, and only used four meters for a tree of more than ten meters. Although it is a bit wasteful, the most valuable thing in this place is the tree, and no one cares about this meaningless issue.

The efficiency of the saw is much faster than that of the axe. In less than half an hour, a four-meter-long tree trunk was sawed off.

After sawing the wood, people used axes and chisels to make the sink according to Wang Lang's request, and the clanging knock echoed in the silent deep forest.

Wang Lang's request for the sink does not need to be exquisitely made, as long as it does not leak and can be used, it is considered a success.

The loud knocking sound covered up the surrounding sounds, so that Wang Lang and the others did not notice that under the thick withered grass and fallen leaves, danger was approaching them step by step.
