Reborn Primitive Age

Chapter 7 Fishing Giant Turtles

The house was partitioned and things were arranged, but the room was empty, lacking furniture such as beds, tables and chairs.

People in the Yan Department lie directly on the ground to sleep, and sit on the ground, there is no such thing as a table or chair.

It's just that Gongliang was used to using a bed, a table and chairs, and was never used to sleeping on the ground, so he asked Uncle Dashi to help him make a bed, a table and chairs.This thing is simple to make, but it is just to cut a few concave and convex grooves from the rough wood and rivet them together. No one here cares whether you look good or not, and you don't need to make it so fine.

After the thing was finished, Gong Liang was very satisfied, and felt a sense of primitive wildness.

It's just that Dashi is not interested in these, because everyone is used to sleeping on the floor and sitting on the floor, and expresses no feeling for sleeping on the bed or sitting on the chair.

The bed, table and chairs are ready, as well as the kitchen.

The most important thing is the kitchen, where you can control your appetite and the flavors of your life.

Yanbu people are very rough about eating, nothing more than cooking and roasting.If you can build a firewood stove and an iron pot in the kitchen, you can use it for frying, steaming, etc., so you don't have to eat the same food every day.Gongliang doesn't have any hobbies, he just likes to eat something delicious.

It is very simple to build a firewood stove. Gong Liang used to live in the countryside and had seen a stove built several times.

There is no technology in this thing, it is nothing more than building things with clay and setting them on fire.

There is a quarry near the Yanbu Boulder, where the tribe used stones. There were many useless stone flakes, so Gong Liang went to pick some up and build a stove.As for the clay used to build the stove, there is no such thing as cement here, but there is a lot of sticky soil in the ditch under the Yanbu Water Intake Spring, which is just used.

Gongliang first found a few relatively flat large stones and placed them on the ground as the foundation of the stove, and then began to build the stove with a layer of soil and a layer of stone chips.

In one day, with the help of Xiaoshi and Xiaoxiaoshi, Gongliang built the stove.

Because he is small now, the height of the stove is not very high, about one meter. When he grows taller, he will build a new one.The built-up hearth was divided into two layers, with firewood on the top and ashes on the bottom. During the period, he went to the iron shop and asked Yehan for some iron bars to put in the middle as a partition.After the stove is built, there must be a chimney for ventilation. There is no tile chimney here, so I can only ask Lao Wu to help make some stone ones.

Although his body is only nine years old, he has the soul of a 30-year-old man. It is more uncomfortable for him to ask others for things with a shy face and innocent face again and again than to kill him.

So, after the kitchen stove was built, he began to plan to store food.

If you have something in your hand, you can barter it when you ask others for something, and you don't have to be ashamed to ask others.The same is true when people in a tribe ask for things from others. For example, when they ask Laowu for stone tools or Yehan for iron tools, they take things from home to exchange. Although they belong to the same tribe, they are not obliged to provide you with these things for free.

The second day after the stove was built, Gong Liang and Brother Xiaoshi went to dig wild vegetables and mushrooms again, but this time he brought an extra animal skin bag.

When picking mushrooms, he put the good ones in animal skin bags, and put the others in a basket to take home to eat.

After taking the mushrooms in the animal skin bag back, he took them out to dry.Soon, Gongliang saved a bunch of wild mushrooms.He took some of it to find Lao Wu and asked him to help him make a pool and a stone jar.The sink is for washing things in the kitchen, while the stone jars are intended to be used for salting things, and the stone jars are intended for brewing wine.

The resources of wild fruits here are very rich. When he and Xiaoshi go out to pick wild vegetables, they can often eat wild fruits, and they are very big and sweet, so he plans to make wine, but it is not yet known whether they can be brewed.

"moo"

When returning to the tribe after digging wild vegetables again, Gong Liang saw a giant turtle barking on the bank again.These guys are very arrogant and are not afraid of people at all. During the day, some even climb to the shore to play.But it is very clever, as long as the tribal warriors run over, it will immediately get into the water.

For a while, Gongliang has always had an idea, that is to kill giant turtles.

The giant turtle is actually a big turtle. Gongliang used to live in Fujian, where there was a delicacy called small hen stewed turtle with pork belly. It tastes very delicious and very delicious.I don't know how this stuff tastes like?

Furthermore, there are many things beside the big stream, such as wild vegetables, clams, hairy crabs, and fish and shrimps. If the harmful giant turtles in the stream are cleaned up, those wild vegetables, fish, and shrimps by the stream will not be what you want in the future. There are as many as you want.

So, when he got home, he began to think about how to kill the giant turtle.

He is small and has little strength, so he can only outwit and invincible.

When he was studying, he had seen a secret method of catching turtles, which was to hide embroidery needles in pig livers and place them on the shore.The soft-shelled turtle eats by swallowing, and the embroidery needle will swallow the pig's liver vertically.The embroidery needle is tied with a rope, and when the turtle swallows something, the rope is tightened, and the embroidery needle is stuck in the turtle's throat and cannot escape.However, this method is fine against ordinary small turtles, but it is useless against giant turtles.There is another way, that is to find a toad, which is still by the stream, and the turtle can be found the next day.

The toad was delicious, and the turtle liked to eat it, but the toad was poisonous, so the turtle died after eating it.

It's just that this method has no effect on the giant turtle, because Gongliang has not seen a toad since he has been here for so long.What's more, the giant turtle is so big, where can I find such a big toad to feed it.

This doesn't work, and that doesn't work either. After much deliberation, Gongliang didn't come up with any good solution.Suddenly, he remembered the wild pepper he found a while ago.

Wild pepper is extremely spicy, if you hide it in the meat and feed it to the giant turtle, what will the effect be?

Just smelling the wild pepper is unbearable, let alone eating it, it should be able to kill the giant turtle.

Thinking of this method, Gong Liang took action, first went to Xiao Shi's Amu and asked for a large piece of animal meat.Xiaoshi Emu didn't say anything and gave it to him directly.After taking the meat, he smashed the meat so that the giant turtle could digest it easily.After smashing it, he was not in a hurry to stuff the wild pepper, and ran to find some big hairy crabs.Although there are no hairy crabs on the coastal plain, there are always a few that climb up.After catching the hairy crab, he took out the crab meat and mixed it with the meat, and then crushed the wild pepper and put it in the meat.

When kneading wild salamanders, he especially wore animal skins, but the spicy smell still lingered in his nostrils.He hurriedly brought something to the stream as bait, lest the whole house be full of spicy smell.

After stuffing the wild salamanders, he hid the big iron hook that Yehan gave him in the meat, and then cut a few tough mountain vines and tied them to the big iron hook, and then put the meat not far from the stream To catch giant turtles, the mountain vines are tied to a thick tree trunk to prevent the meat from being dragged away by giant turtles.

After doing this, Gong Liang ran away to avoid being eaten by giant turtles that came ashore.

"Ah Liang, can this really catch a big fish?" Brother Xiaoshi, who was acting with Gongliang, was full of doubts in his eyes.

"It should work!" Gongliang didn't know if it would work.

Tao, who was guarding the gate of the village, didn't say anything, but just watched the little guys play.He treated it like child's play.

After guarding the gate of the village for a long time, he didn't see the giant turtle taking the bait, Gong Liang was extremely frustrated.It seems that this method doesn't work, so I don't bother to take care of it. I plan to come back tomorrow to have a look.So, I took Brother Xiaoshi back for dinner.When he slept in the middle of the night, he vaguely and in a trance heard a giant moo, and he didn't know which giant turtle was going crazy again.

Gong Liang turned over and fell into a deep sleep.
