Living alone in the wilderness: you call this survival?

Chapter 183
Xu Mo went to check it out and found that Sihuo's wound was more or less inflamed.

This is inevitable and can easily worsen if left unaddressed.

After thinking about it, he decided to take some protective measures for them.

The method is still the same old one, using burnt plant ash mixed with mud to smear their wounds, mainly to prevent the wounds from being bitten by mosquitoes.

Sihuo knew that he was treating them, not only cooperated very much, but also became more and more intimate with him.

On the contrary, Xu Mo has always deliberately kept a distance from them. In his heart, only one big gray is enough.

The emotion of animals is simple and sincere, and he can't afford to provoke them.

Treating them is nothing more than taking advantage of each other and adding humanitarianism.

After applying the grass mud, Xu Mo took a wooden poke and went to the river.

The corpses of hyenas in the river are still intact, which means that no crocodiles have visited, and it also means that there are not many fish schools attracted.

Since the fish nest was shocked last time, it has not recovered until now.

Even so, fish is his easiest food source.

Xu Mo took a spear and speared it next to the hyena corpse with all his heart. After a lot of effort, he managed to receive more than a dozen catfish.

Sihuo's stomach couldn't be filled with this little catch, but he couldn't help it.

There were so few fish, it was meaningless to fork them down. In order to make Sihuo eat as much as possible, he collected a lot of wild fruits and stuffed them into the fish's belly.

Sihuo are not stupid, of course it's wrong to be able to eat something, but they can't help it. Now it's not about what they want to eat, but about what Xu Mo has.

Today's meal has been dealt with, and it's time to worry about the next meal.

Xu Mo hastily dealt with his own meal, and then went out to continue looking for food.

In the huge grassland, it is really difficult to get something to eat.

Usually he doesn't feel it, but now the more he wants to get something, the less he can get it.

Xu Mo, who was cornered, even used brute force to chase animals known for their agility, such as the antelope. It was conceivable that he had nothing to gain except being ridiculed by the antelope.

Xu Mo, who had been tossing around for a day, gradually calmed down. Food is hard to come by, and it also requires a certain amount of luck. Reckless behavior will definitely not work.

Since it is impossible to do it recklessly, then use detour tactics. As for how to detour, it depends on the situation.

When it was getting dark, Xu Mo returned to the camp, and as soon as he approached, he smelled an unpleasant smell of shit.

He frowned and walked to Sihuo's side, and was so disgusted that he almost spat out the overnight meal.

All four people are having diarrhea, javelins are everywhere, the picture is too beautiful to describe.

They are in the critical period of recovery, and this sudden pull almost knocked them back to their original shape.

Xu Mo's face was ugly, with a sense of futility and decadence.

He took a deep breath and slowly calmed down.

Speaking of which, it's his fault too, Sihuo is an out-and-out carnivore, and being a vegetarian may cause physical discomfort. In fact, he also thought of this at the beginning, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.

Sihuo's appearance is obviously caused by severe diarrhea caused by eating berries.

Xu Mo didn't know what to do, so he could only rely on them to carry them through.

This night, he basically didn't sleep, and went down the tree from time to time to check their status.

Fortunately, although Sihuo was weak, his life was not in danger. His diarrhea gradually stopped in the middle of the night, and he stopped leaking feces at dawn.

However, their javelins all over the ground made the camp look like an aqua toilet that had been bombed by firecrackers.

Xu Mo was very haggard, resisting the discomfort and cleaning up.

After cleaning, it's time to worry about the food again.

Sihuo can't be vegetarian, so they can only be fed meat, which is hard for Xu Mo.

He picked up his spear listlessly, and went to the river again.

The fish in the river couldn't withstand his daily scourges, and they were getting rarer and rarer.

I've been busy for half a time, but I didn't even reach ten.

This little fish removes its own rations, and there is not much to feed Sihuo at all.

Xu Mo suddenly thought that it was true that Sihuo ate meat, but they didn't fix what kind of meat it was.

He has always entered into a misunderstanding, always thinking of catching some medium and large animals to feed them at once.

Since this path does not work, then do the opposite and start with small animals.

As the saying goes, no matter how small a mosquito's legs are, it is still meat. As long as there is a lot of it, it can feed all kinds of goods.

There are not only fish in this river, but also some other animals such as loaches and eels.

The difficulty of obtaining these things is always easier than blindly fishing.

Xu Mo immediately started to dig, and started digging along the silt along the river.

Sure enough, not only loaches and eels were dug up, but also a mud snake was dug up. In addition, there were also tadpoles, frogs, and even aquatic insects. As long as they were active, they were all taken away.

This time, Xu Mo just digs into the box and eats, not picky at all.

After some hard work, he returned to camp with a hodgepodge.

In order to make Sihuo better nourishing, he thoughtfully smashed these miscellaneous things, and then squeezed them into meat balls.

These are genuine meat, presumably Sihuo has no reason to refuse.

Xu Mo took the meat balls and fed them one by one. Sihuo instinctively chewed them twice, and then his face wrinkled in unison.

Xu Mo can also understand their appearance. After all, the ingredients of the meat balls are complicated, and the taste is naturally a bit messy, so they won't be too tasty.

Fortunately, Sihuo still swallowed it and did not show much discomfort.

Xu Mo didn't go anywhere today, so he just observed their condition.

As long as they are ok, then the future food source can be regarded as settled.

One day passed, Sihuo not only had no abnormalities, but his condition was also improving at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Xu Mo was very happy. It seems that the hodgepodge is not only okay, but also very good.

Finally got a good night's sleep tonight.

As soon as it got dark, he went up to the tree and lay down on the bed. After being tired for a few days, he soon fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was daylight.

As soon as Xu Mo got out of the tree house, he saw Sihuo walking around the camp tremblingly.

They walk crookedly and look drunk, but that's a good sign.

With their recovery speed, in another ten days or so, it is estimated that they will be able to hunt some small animals by themselves.

For these ten days, I still have to rely on him to feed me.

Xu Mo smiled wryly, got off the tree and continued digging for food by the river.

Fortunately, there is this river, enough for him to dig for a while.

Time flies like an arrow, the sun and the moon fly like a shuttle, and five days have passed in a blink of an eye.

Sihuo's spirit and injuries are recovering steadily, and now he can trot for a while.

They can recover so quickly, it is inseparable from Xu Mo's careful care.

What Xu Mo does most every day is to dig loaches and move crabs, and from time to time, he also smashes a few birds that landed by the river for extra meals.

Sihuo has a lot of food, so his workload is very heavy. Every day, he has to dig a long section of the river bank to satisfy their appetite.

After a few days, both sides of this river of life have been riddled with holes.

Xu Mo knew that no matter what he did, he couldn't go too far. If he dug further, he would get twice the result with half the effort, and the gain would outweigh the loss.

So he decided to put down the river temporarily and move to land.

There are not only small animals in the water, but actually more on the shore.

Xu Mo slept soundly these days because he had already thought about the way forward.

Early in the morning, he was groping in the bushes.

What poisonous snakes, scorpions, centipedes and spiders, as long as they can move, they will be taken away.

In addition, there are no toads, dung beetles and the like.

In order to supplement Sihuo's protein, he even went out of the rotten wood to pick up fat and fat poppy worms.

After one morning, I harvested a lot.

In order not to burden Sihuo, Xu Mo directly smashed these things into mud outside the camp, then squeezed them into meat balls, and then returned to the camp with these meat balls.

This time, however, the color of the meatballs is somewhat richer and more colorful.

He carried the meat ball and came to the lion. It was the most seriously injured and should be taken care of first.

The male lion didn't think too much, and opened his mouth directly, waiting to be fed.

In the past few days, the four goods are used to eating meat balls, so naturally they will not be defensive.

Xu Mo didn't talk nonsense, and directly stuffed the meat ball into the lion's mouth.

The male lion instinctively chewed a few times, and then stopped moving.

Its eyes widened suddenly, and its lion face wrinkled into a blooming chrysanthemum at an extremely fast speed.

"Don't spit!"

Xu Mo's face darkened, and he scolded sharply.

The male lion was startled, squinted his eyes and swallowed the meat ball, and then began to retch in pain.

Xu Mo didn't care what it was like, and continued to stuff the meat ball into its mouth.

This is genuine meat, without any moisture, and he picked it out bit by bit. If Sihuo dared to waste it, he would really lose his temper.

Sihuo's food supplements this time can be regarded as suffering, and if he doesn't want to eat it, he can't resist Xu Mo's intimidation.

Sihuo and Xu Mo had a very painful meal, and it took nearly an hour to finish.

Seeing Sihuo's appearance, he was unwilling to eat another meal.

But the more unwilling they were to eat, the more Xu Mo wanted to feed them.

He also has his own plans. If they are fed too well, they will not be willing to go hunting. After all, who can refuse the days when the food comes to open their mouths.

Feeding them unpalatable food will put an end to their greed.

If you want to eat something good, you can catch it yourself, which is also a kind of alternative spur.

The only thing to worry about now is whether today's meatballs will cause their physiological changes.

After all, there are five poisonous ingredients in the meat ball, don't poison them to death.

So Xu Mo didn't do anything today, just observe their status.

Except for retching, there seemed to be no other abnormalities.

It's okay to vomit, just don't pull it, and continue tomorrow.

Xu Mo was full of energy, but the more he worked, the more outrageous he became.

In addition to the previous materials, he added mosquitoes and flies, which just confirmed the sentence that no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.

In fact, the main reason is that Sihuo has a large appetite, and these things are small, so they can only be filled with quantity.

I thought I would have to hold on for another week, but on the third night, Sihuo was going to form a group to go hunting.

Their injuries are still not healed, especially the male lions, who can't walk steadily, which is really a bit reluctant. The cheetahs have injured their legs, and they can't grasp the direction. It is indeed a bit early to go out at this time.

Xu Mo noticed their movements in the middle of the night, but did not stop them.

In their state, it is difficult to catch prey, but their diligence is worthy of recognition and should be supported.

In fact, Sihuo didn't want to hunt at all, and he was really disgusted by him.

The dogs didn't want to eat those things every day. After a few days, they lost a lot of weight, and if they were fed by him, they would go crazy if they didn't die.

Xu Mo didn't think about it so much, and fell asleep soundly.

After waking up, it was dawn, and Sihuo also came back, but did not bring back the prey.

He wasn't surprised at all, seeing how hungry they were, they didn't open a small stove outside.

Xu Mo was still very happy, he was fine without prey, and having a hunting heart was enough to comfort him.

Since they have no prey, of course they still eat a hodgepodge of meatballs.

After he finished washing, he went to pick bugs as usual.

This time I didn't even spare the ants, they dug them into the box and they were vegetables.

After making up the portion, still knead into meat balls and feed them.

Although the Sihuo are unwilling to eat, they have to eat when they are hungry, which makes their hunting heart stronger.

Sure enough, Sihuo went out again after dark, and even earlier.

Xu Mo gave them all the time during the day, so he was naturally too lazy to meddle in other people's business at night.

After dawn, Sihuo still returned without success.

If they couldn't catch prey for a day, Xu Mo had to raise them for a day.

This situation won't last long, because Sihuo's condition is getting better every day, and sooner or later he will catch his prey, and by then, his good days will come.

His predictions have always been accurate, but this time there were some surprises in the accuracy.

On the morning of the fourth day, Sihuo came back and brought back a prey.

However, this prey came back by itself.

When Xu Mo got down from the tree and took a look, he was shocked.

What kind of prey is this? It's clearly a leopard, and it's a female.

Obviously, it came back with the leopard among the four goods.

No wonder they go out for so long every night, together to hook up.

But it doesn't make sense, just find a leopard and go by yourself, what's the fun with two lions and a cheetah?
Xu Mo's mind was a little messed up, he didn't think too much in a hurry, and hurried out to find bugs.

No matter what, Hua Bao took the object home, and he, the head of the family, can't show it.

For his kindness, the mother leopard did not appreciate it, but showed obvious hostility.

Xu Mo was not surprised by its reaction. After all, there was a lesson from the lioness, and it was obvious that the hair had grown.

Before going out to pick bugs, it's better to beat it first, and finish the tradition.

Although the strength of the leopard is not as good as that of the lion, it is more agile. To some extent, it is even stronger than the lion alone.

It's just that Xu Mo's combat power is no longer something a single animal can shake.

The battle started quickly and ended quickly.

After being styled for free, the female leopard became honest. It only needs to hang around in Sihuo's circle for a few days, and it is basically assimilated.

And Xu Mo gained 5 points of freedom, and went out to pick bugs contentedly.

With one more mouth, he had to pick more points. In order to satisfy the weight, he picked farther and farther, completing the task very hard.

Sihuo was very resistant to the colorful meat balls in his hands, but he still ate them honestly.

The mother leopard was not spared either, and he forcibly stuffed several lumps into it.

Now that they are here, they are the prospective family members, so they must be treated equally.

The mother leopard really thanked his eight generations of ancestors. After a few meat balls, the gall was about to be vomited out.

Seeing it like this, Xu Mo knew that it didn't want to eat it a second time.

This means that his good days are coming soon.

Unlike Sihuo, the female leopard is harmless and capable of predation, and it is with Sihuo, which means that Sihuo has a certain ability to prey.

And he is the boss of the four goods, and he must have a share of the prey he catches.

The future is promising!
