Chapter 11 Solving for Food
Early morning, dawn breaks.
Zhao Qinghe opened her eyes and was disappointed to find that she was still in the cave.
Nothing is a dream. She really traveled to another world and to the primitive era.
"effort!"
She clenched her fair fists to cheer herself up.
Although the situation is bad, life has to continue anyway.
Only by living can there be hope.
I sat up and turned my head to look around. Some primitive people had already gotten up, and some were still sleeping.
The flames were still burning, and the flames were sitting beside him, reaching out to roast the fire.
Zhao Qinghe was a little surprised. She thought that the fire had already been extinguished after a night.
When I walked closer, I looked at the brand new firewood that had just been set in the fire, and then looked at Yan's tired face, his eyes were still covered with blood, and I felt a little enlightened.
"You did it? Didn't sleep all night?" she asked pointing to the fire.
Yan couldn't understand, but he also understood what it meant. He gestured twice and nodded.
Yesterday, he saw Zhao Qinghe adding some firewood to the fire before going to bed, and the fire became stronger and stronger, so he remembered it in his heart.
I looked at the fire from time to time at night. Seeing that the firewood was burning almost the same, the flames gradually diminished, so I added some firewood to it for a whole night.
"This guy is pretty smart."
Zhao Qinghe was a little relieved. It was too difficult to drill wood to make fire. If the flames were extinguished, it would be a bit troublesome to think about rising up again.
In the future, you may be able to take turns to arrange people to take care of the fire.
"Okay, let me teach you here, you can go back and rest first."
After rushing Yan back to sleep, Zhao Qinghe sat next to the fire, thinking about what to do next.
After the shelter and cold are resolved, the next priority is food.
She discovered yesterday that most of the primitive people were hungry and probably hadn't eaten anything for two or three days.
"We have to go out and look for food."
Zhao Qinghe thought in her mind and called out all the primitive people except Yan.
After letting the two female primitive men and children stay, and teaching them to take care of the fire. After adding firewood to it, they took the other primitive men to move the stones at the hole and walked out.
The weather is good today, without rain and snow, a red sun hanging in the east, with a bright morning light, which is very gorgeous.
It was just a breeze and the temperature was very low in the morning.
Zhao Qinghe is fine, her body is different, and she doesn’t feel anything.
But the other primitive people with arms outstretched and a grass skirt or animal skin around their waists, just after coming out of the warm cave, were trembling all over and shivering.
"The problem of keeping cold outside must be solved as soon as possible." Seeing this, Zhao Qinghe said in her heart.
Maybe you can weave a straw coat, the unknown hay that looks like thatch, is quite flexible.
"You guys pick up firewood, and the firewood in the hole is almost burned."
"You guys pull out the hay, I'll try to see if I can make some straw coats for you."
Zhao Qinghe arranged several female primitive people to pick up firewood near the cave, and then came to the place where the hay was pulled yesterday, so that the remaining female primitive people would continue to pull the hay and take it back to the cave.
There is still a lot of hay here, and there is a large area under the snow, not far from the cave, just like two or three miles away.
"The rest of the people, come with me to find food."
Zhao Qinghe also told the remaining eight men that were primitive.
"But, where are you going to find food?"
She stood on the hills, looking at the vast silver earth from afar, a little sad.
It was snowy and snowy, let alone fruits, there were not even green leaves, and I didn’t see a small animal.
It's really difficult to find something to eat.
Suddenly, Zhao Qinghe's eyes lit up.
She saw from a high point that there was a silver-white line not far below the foot of the mountain.
It seemed like a small river.
There should be fish in the river.
"Let's go there." Zhao Qinghe pointed to the direction of the river.
But several male primitive men were a little hesitant.
"Aowu, aowu."
Li reached out and pointed to Xuelin at the foot of the mountain, held it into a claw, gestured twice, and roared a few times.
"You want to say, there are fierce beasts over there?"
Zhao Qinghe frowned and determined tone: "Even if there are wild animals, we have to go, otherwise we will all starve to death."
"But we have to prepare some weapons first."
After finding some solid wooden sticks with arms thickness and arming all eight male primitive men, Zhao Qinghe led the team to set off.
I came to the foot of the mountain carefully, and I was in danger all the way and did not encounter wild animals.
The silver-white line I saw on the mountain before was indeed a small river, only five or six meters wide, with thick ice forming.
Zhao Qinghe observed and brought people to a stone shore.
"Come on, smash it away."
Zhao Qinghe stood on the big stone, picked up a small stone, smashed it at the ice surface, demonstrated, and then taught the stone to the strongest king next to her.
Wang squatted down, raised the stone, and smashed it wildly at the ice surface.
The ice surface was very thick. Wang hit him dozens of times, which made his hands red. He just made a little dent and splashed some ice slags.
"Substitute, continue." Zhao Qinghe asked the others to come on.
After six or seven people, they smashed them for half an hour, and finally, with a thud, water splashed everywhere.
The ice layer that was tens of centimeters thick was smashed open, revealing a hole the size of a basin.
Brush brush.
Many fish swam over, revealing their heads, and breathing fresh oxygen greedily.
In winter, if the river freezes, there is little oxygen under the ice. Now a hole has been broken and nearby fish are attracted.
"Ah, ah."
When they saw the fish, the primitive people shouted excitedly. They knew that this thing had been eaten before.
"Hurry, take it out." Zhao Qinghe said happily, greeting other primitive people and starting to catch fish.
Because there is no tool, I can only start fishing it out. The cold water is biting cold, but there is no way, so I can only do this now.
Click.
After several primitive people caught the fish, they directly filled the lively raw fish into their mouths and took a bite, eating them all over the mouth with blood and fish scales.
"Don't, don't eat it first. This is unhygienic and not good for your health. I will eat it when I go back and bake it." Zhao Qinghe hurriedly stopped them.
The respected goddess spoke, although she was very hungry, the primitive people still stopped obediently.
After catching some more fish, Zhao Qinghe saw that it was almost done and there were no loads of tools and could not get enough. So she asked the primitive people to take a few of them and return the same way.
When I returned to the cave, it was almost noon.
The female primitive people are still working diligently to pick up firewood and pull out hay, and they are all collected two large piles.
Zhao Qinghe asked them to stop, then gathered all the primitive people next to the fire, skewed the fish with wooden branches, and started to put them on the fire to roast them.
She had never roasted fish before and had no skills. In addition, she had no seasonings, and after baking, she tasted it, which was extremely unpalatable.
But no matter what, the food problem was finally solved.
