Survival In the World of Beasts - Chapter 60
The next day, when Yang Apa came to deliver the medicine again, Shi Amu had just left, and Li Shizhao was taking a group of small animals to play games outside.
It happens that the small ball he made before can come in handy. The way he designed it is very simple, using small branches to set a few boundaries on the grass and set a goal on one side.
The little tigers and the little wolves just divided into two groups, facing each other in twos. See which side scored more goals. The whole game is quite simple. With the language level of Li Shizhao’s three-legged cat and the gestures and demonstrations, they can also understand. He didn’t add more red card and yellow card rules. After all, they are all small animals on all fours. It is necessary to distinguish between basketball and football, ahem, this.
However, the little tiger with orange fur and black stripes seemed a little unwilling to “Woo”, and his amber wink looked critically at the three white wolves on the opposite side, obviously not willing to team up with any of them.
To be honest, the little tiger is very beautiful, with colorful fur, round eyes, semi-round ears, and a flick of the tail. Everyone will pet and favor the beautiful children, and there is nothing to be proud of.
But sometimes it offends people with a proud attitude, just look at the three little wolves that blow up their tails. Cough, in fact, the snow-white coyote, with his pierced eyes slightly blue, is also very cute.
Li Shizhao helped his forehead, and saw that it was another one-to-three, or three-to-one rhythm, and quickly stepped forward to stop it.
Let them play a one-on-three warm-up match. Li Shizhao can only bite, maybe scratch each other, throw the small ball in his hand, let the four small animals fight.
On the green grass, the scene where four small furry animals are spinning around a ball, don’t be too funny, since you are not allowed to bite or scratch, the little wolves are quite clever, and two sit on the little tigers. The next one starts to slam the ball.
The little tiger is so anxious, but even if you are more brave, you can’t get off two little wolves with similar stature at once ╮( ̄▽ ̄“)╭ So just watch the little tiger struggle there. Struggling, the little wolves just hold on to it and don’t even mention a lot of Coke.
The amappas who looked around couldn’t help laughing.
Li Shizhao was also one of the unscrupulous people onlookers who waited until the little wolf scored ten goals before letting them let go of the little tiger.
The little tiger was a little bit teary. Li Shizhao gently touched his head. Sometimes the children were too proud and would have friction with their friends. And life outside is so difficult, it’s impossible for one person to do everything, you still have to learn to cooperate.
The white tiger is so powerful. If he wasn’t with Li Shizun when he was deformed, he would not be able to survive. On this continent where survival is difficult, even if the little tiger who grew up in this fairyland knows that he will not face survival in the future. challenge?
The little tiger sniffed suspiciously. When Li Zhizheng once again assigned the youngest little wolf to his side, he hesitated for a while and did not refuse.
The little wolves are a little unhappy, you still disliked the dens just now, hum, who wants to be with you.
Li Zhizheng held the little tiger and put it next to the little wolves. The little wolf’s wet nose twitched, turning his head with a whimper, and pointed at the little tiger with his ass.
Li Shizhao saw that the little tiger was really about to cry.
He touched the little tiger’s head. This, the children need an opportunity to get together. After thinking about it, he seemed to have fought with his friends when he was a child. How did he get on well in the end?
Li Zhitong thought for a while, handed the little ball to the little tiger, and motioned him to take the little ball to find the little wolves. The little tiger hesitated, but passed the little ball in his mouth.
The eldest little wolf hesitated, but it seems that the little tiger usually shares delicious and fun things together. Forgive him this time.
The little wolf bowed his head and arched the ball, which was forgiven the little tiger.
Seeing the little white guy and the little guy with black stripes on the orange background rubbing affectionately against each other, Li Shizhen laughed. The kids are so cute, they can still fight and get angry in the first second, but they will have fun in the next second. Together.
Then the little guys on both sides started to divide and grab the ball. Now, whether they were intimacy or not, whether they were of the same race or not, the smell of gunpowder came up again.
The four little guys don’t seem to know how to count at all. Li Shizhao taught them to simply add a branch next to the goal every time they scored, and the two sides would know it after a match.
Is this a preliminary concept of quantity established in preschool education?
Yang Apa, who watched the whole process with a basket, smiled silently, her silver hair shining brightly in the sun.
Seeing that the little guys finally put into the game, Li Shizhao noticed that Yang Apa didn’t know how long he had been waiting next to him.
He ran over and greeted the old man apologetically.
Yang Apa seemed to wave his hand nonchalantly, stopping Li Shizhao’s apology that he didn’t know how to express in unfamiliar language.
After Li Zhizhen drank the medicine, he stumbled and told Yang Apa that he would go to get the medicine by himself tomorrow. After Yang Apa understood it, he smiled and agreed.
After a long while, Li Shizhao, who was still busy with the little animals, reacted. He didn’t know where Yang Apa lived!
Fortunately, Ineam who came to him in the afternoon was very helpful, but…
“阳阿帕@#在……&¥”
“House#%有……*@#”
Li Zhizheng burst into tears, come on, don’t describe it, he understands more words than he doesn’t understand.
Anyway, looking at Ying Emu’s gestures, I know that Yang Apa lives farther north. There should be some obvious sign outside the door. This valley is so big and there is no danger. Even the cubs can play freely. He is tomorrow. You can find it by yourself.
After Li Shizhao stayed in the valley for a few days, he probably knew that not everyone lived in that warm cave like him. Most of them seemed to live farther north, but he hadn’t been there much.
After having breakfast that day and greeted Shi Emu, Li Shizheng thanked Shi Emine’s kindness and slid to the north. After all, Emu was also a very old man, and he brought two small friends with him. I can’t bother him all the time.
The vegetation on the north side seems to be sparse a lot. In some places, there are large cliffs and sparse trees, but the air is unexpectedly warm. It seems that I did not live in the cave because it is relatively warm here.
Several rows of stone houses were built in front of the cliffs. They are real houses built of stone. They have doors and windows. Those large stones seem to be taken from the nearby cliffs. Although they are still crude in appearance, they can already be used. This kind of sturdy material to build houses, instead of relying on natural caves, proves that the productivity of this valley is indeed good.
Li Shizhao recalled the sign in front of the door that Ying Emu said, and just saw a small stone house in the corner. A large stone was erected outside the door. What Ying Emu said should be something that is easier to identify. Li Shizhao guessed that this was probably the place, and he wandered over.
Yang Apa called out several times, but no one answered. Maybe Yang Apa was busy hearing it?
So he opened the curtain and walked in, if he went wrong, he would come out.
As soon as he walked in, Li Shizhao knew that he had entered the wrong house, and he wanted to quit immediately.
But the things in this room made him involuntarily stop and watch.
This was an unexpectedly messy room, but it was quite organized.
In the center of the room is a large workbench. On the ground next to it, there are messy processing tools, but the things on the workbench can show the producer’s thoughts.
This maker repeatedly used various woods for bending treatments, and on the other side there were various vines, bark and even animal tendons. On the table, there were more various stones and bones. Or sharp shapes made by grinding or tapping.
In the eyes of a layman, such a workbench must be messy, but Li Zhizhen, who is a graduate of engineering, is so familiar with this atmosphere, he can guess it even just by looking at the order of placement on the workbench. What combination attempts have been made by the producer, and which step is being prepared for the next step.
Obviously, all objects on this workbench serve one object, and all material combinations and all shape tests are only for one object.
If Li Shizhao didn’t guess wrong, it should be—bows and arrows.
Bows and arrows are definitely a long-range weapon in the era of cold weapons. If they are placed in the current primitive social environment, the role of bows and arrows is comparable to AK47.
Li Shizhao is even more curious. All the work of this producer does not seem to be groping disorderly, because he seems to be certain that a certain shape must be optimal, and he is just making his bow more in line with that. This kind of shape, regardless of the material of the arranged bow, the final semi-finished product is close to that arc.
Is this producer in primitive society a genius beyond the white tiger? I knew that there was an optimal bow and arrow shape just by intuition. Li Shizhao shook his head. This is really impossible, and the reason is simple.
Even in the valley where productivity is excellent in this continent, even complicated counting is not produced, not to mention that the results can be calculated through mechanical model calculations like modern ones, and drawings are made, and only the drawings are processed.
More, whether it is the development of weapons or production tools, in the primitive era, it was with accidental meaning. People explored disorderly and found a better direction, so they improved in this direction.
So, this producer, maybe he saw some finished product and imitated it? This principle is similar to the copycat machine in modern society in China. You don’t need to understand so many design principles. You only need to see the finished product, have seen the excellent performance of the finished product, and know that things developed in this way are mostly not bad.
But even so, at this level of productivity, even if the producer failed to design a bow and arrow, but with his own exploration and these complex craftsmanship, the entire workload has already impressed Li Shizhen.
If Li Shizhen’s self-made spears and javelins are considered a piece of work, then this producer has to complete a huge project. In this era, the workload of this project is no less than that of copying in a hand workshop. An AK47, just look at the countless semi-finished products stacked in that corner.
Li Zhizheng’s sight is traversing. Without it, this studio is so familiar and missed for him. How long has he done simple and rough works in such a place.
Suddenly, an object on the wall attracted all his attention. Li Shizhen, who was very familiar with the appearance of the many semi-finished bows, knew at a glance that this was the genuine one, and the real AK47 that was copied!
He almost couldn’t help but stepped forward and took down this thing. It seems to be a bow that has been in the old age, with many vicissitudes of mottled scratches on it. Even the bowstring seems to be broken in a certain desperate situation, but It seems that it doesn’t compromise the momentum of its ancient weapon, and it adds a little bit of sadness and generosity that a famous soldier should have. This ancient weapon did not cause its owner to give up his love for it because of the passage of time. The repeated rubbing and even regular maintenance made the bow body precipitate a round and dull luster.
As a half-manufacturer, Li Shizhao is deeply attracted by the smooth lines and sophisticated processing technology on this one-meter-long bow. After exploring so much on his own, he knows that it is not easy to manufacture under such primitive conditions.
As a weapon user, at the moment he grasped this bow, he couldn’t help but a kind of blood rose. He had a hunch that if he had a complete bow like this in his hand, his lethality coverage would be far. It is far more than fifty meters or even hundreds of meters for a javelin, and the number of arrows carried can be much more than that of a javelin. This almost means that he can hold the lives of all creatures within a range of hundreds of meters in his palm!
Li Zhizhao’s heartbeat was a bit rapid. He slowly rubbed this bow. It was not that he had never thought of making such a long-range weapon, but he had never had the opportunity to see this kind of thing in modern times. Now it is a living and powerful weapon. The sample of the celestial body is placed in front of him, if it is not powerful, and the same life and death, why does its owner cherish it so much!
Huh?
After repeatedly rubbing it, Li Shizhao seemed to have touched a bumpy place, not like a natural scratch. He turned it over and found that the inner side of the bottom edge of the bow seemed to be engraved with some mark. By the sunlight outside, Li Zhizheng glanced at it with a concentration, and it was clearly the word “日” with two ends!
Li Shizhao’s heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and for no reason, he remembered the sharp whistling noises by the river.
He hadn’t recovered from his careful thoughts. The bow in his hand was violently snatched away. When Li Shizhao raised his head, the horrible and terrifying face that was close at hand almost horrified his heart from his mouth. jump out!
There was not a whole piece of skin on that face, as if it was completely crushed and then reluctantly put together. At first glance, it was formed after an extremely serious burn, but on this uneven face, there was still a knife. The deep scratches started from the right temple, pierced the eyes, cut off the bridge of the nose, and stopped until the center of the left cheek, just like a piece of cake that had been burned to pieces was cut again.
Coupled with the owner’s tall figure, tousled gray hair, ferocious look, and screaming noses, at first glance, it makes people stand upside down, terrifying.
But Li Shizhao quickly realized that this should be the owner of the bow. He was originally wrong, so he entered other people’s houses without authorization and moved other people’s things.
He just wanted to apologize in unskilled language, but the owner of this house didn’t seem to want to see him again. He pushed Li Shizheng hard and said something viciously in his mouth.
Li Shizhao staggered, touched the wound and almost fell.
But the only one left by the owner of the house was a single eye glowing with violent fierce light, like a fierce beast choosing someone to eat. He saw Li Zhitong’s liver trembling. Instead of helping Li Zhitong, he took a step. Stepping forward, he pushed Li Shizhao harder.
While being pushed out of the house, Li Zhizun could only hear loud roars such as “you” and “go out”, which made his tympanic membrane aching. It is estimated that the owner was cursing him continuously.
A handful of Li Shizhen, who was pushed down outside the house, was so immortal that his left rib rushed down, so that he was sweating profusely in pain, and he did not get up for a long time.
When he slowly sat up, the animal skin curtain had already been put down, and his hand was stabbed. It seemed that when the bow was taken away by force, his hand was slightly cut by the edge of the bow.
Li Shizhao smiled bitterly. Although he was a little angry at the owner’s rude and arrogant attitude, it didn’t seem to be entirely the owner’s fault. After all, in modern times, Li Shizhao’s approach was wrong first, and he can only be blamed. I can’t control myself for a while with a highly skilled weapon.
Yang Apa didn’t seem to see Li Zhizheng, so he came out to search for fear that he could not find it. He happened to see Li Zhizheng sitting on the ground. In shock, he stepped forward and helped Li Zhizheng.
After Li Shizhu thanked him, Yangappa seemed to see him sitting outside this room, and guessed what had just happened, and explained: “Muappa%&#…Ugh…”
It seems that there is something unspeakable in this, Li Shizhen did not fully understand, but he also nodded his head with understanding. It was because he was wrong first, and who could have nothing to say, let alone in such a valley.
However, thinking of the word “day”, Li Zhizheng was a little uneasy. He didn’t know whether Baihu knew about this Muappa. It seemed that he had to wait for him to come back before discussing it. After all, in this valley, he Li Zhizheng Just an outsider.
Seeing this tall wooden house with a small tree on the other side of the row of stone houses, Li Shizhen shook his head and smiled bitterly. It seemed that he was really unlucky. It was obvious that the wooden house was close to the stone cave. He just didn’t know how to get there. head.
Thinking of the experience just now, Li Shizhen is still somewhat unhappy. Even in this cruel and **** continent, he has seen life and death killings, but in terms of getting along with each other, especially in this small valley with a harmonious atmosphere. Li Shizhao really rarely encountered such a rude and indifferent attitude.
Li Shizhao secretly reflected on whether the enthusiastic and kind people here made him too optimistic to estimate the environment, forgetting that he was an outsider? No matter where it is, conflicts and frictions between people always exist, not because of this incident or because of that incident, Li Shizhen sighed secretly.
However, the furnishings in Yang’apa’s house quickly made Li Shizhen forget the turmoil just now. Apart from several shelves of herbs, strange bones and internal organs, what attracted Li Shizhen’s attention most was the one at the end of the big wooden house. The rows of ropes are ordinary ropes made of vines, at least hundreds of which are densely and neatly hung on the wall.
All kinds of knots, large and small, were tied on those ropes. Li Shizhao had heard about knotting, but it was the first time he saw it. These ropes are not the same old and new, and the old ones can even see frizzy dry marks on them, and the new ones seem to have just been made.
Perhaps the experience just now has an impact. At least Li Shizhen has a faint shadow on the people in the valley. He wisely did not ask directly. After all, he and Yang Apa have only met a few times, not so much. Familiar with.
After drinking the medicine, Yang Apa prescribed a new ointment for him, and even signaled that he could apply it directly to the small wound on his hand.
Li Shizhao nodded gratefully.
It seems that Yang Apa just noticed Li Shizhao’s curious eyes on the rope. He pointed to the rope and asked Li Shizhao to come over early tomorrow, and tell him the story of the rope when he came early?
Seeing such an open-minded old man, Li Zhizhen suddenly felt a little guilty. He should not affect his attitude towards others just because he was accused by others. He nodded fiercely, and decided to go back and talk to Shi Amu, tomorrow morning. If you don’t play with the little friends, he has to come early.
Li Shizhen, who returned to the stone house, changed the ointment and applied the medicine. It happened that the little tigers came back again. It seems that they were a little late today?
The little tigers and the little wolves were very excited, and yelled “Aow”.
Li Shizhao was a little bit confused, but Ying Emu who came in behind to solve the puzzle: “@#¥ is back.”
came back? People going out? That’s Baihu and them!
Li Shizhao suddenly felt a little anxious. He stayed alone in a strange place for so long. Although this place is beautiful and picturesque, it is surrounded by strangers, strange languages, and strange things, especially after experiencing it just now. After being frightened, Li Shizhao felt that he really wanted to see that familiar face.
To the south of the valley mouth, where Li Shizhen and Baihu came back last time, many people have already gathered. Almost all the people Li Shizhen had met have come, and even Yang Apa was happily waiting in the crowd, but Li Shizhao didn’t see the Muappa.
The old people and children were all around there happily. Somehow, Li Shizhen thought of the scene of returning home and looking forward to family members during the Chinese New Year, and seemed to look forward to the reunion of family members, whether the earth or here is the same.
Looking down at Xuefeng from a distance, dozens of figures dragged something heavy and slowly moved upwards. Li Shizhao took a closer look. It was obvious that they had harvested not only the elephants, but also some other prey, think about it. Also, they have been away long enough.
Among the figures, the guy with the white background and black stripes is the tallest and the most vigorous. Even carrying heavy objects on the snow does not affect his kingly demeanor at all, don’t mention it more eye-catching.
Li Shizhao looked at from a distance, as if he was also infected by the surrounding atmosphere. He couldn’t help but learn from the old people around and turned his hands down and shouted, “White!”
From a distance, he saw the tiger looking up at him. He seemed to be able to see the tiger’s face with an unmatched grin and a silly grin. Under the dazzling sunlight, Li Shizhen’s face couldn’t help but burst into a warm smile. It seems that all unease and unhappiness have disappeared.
