The next day, Cheng Cheng continued to walk south. He never missed anything edible along the way, but the animals and plants here were huge. For the sake of safety, he only dared to pick some wild mountain mushrooms he was most familiar with and put them in the small bag given by Liu Xiaoning. I have encountered a few piggy-like rabbits, but dare not hunt them. I wonder if they can eat them?

Two days later, even though he was saving in every possible way, six bottles of water were almost finished. He only dared to drink a few sips of the last bottle of water, his throat still smoky, touching his already chapped lips, trying to find the source of water, water is the most important thing now.

Suddenly, a sharp call came from a distance, and Cheng Chengxun heard the sound, and was startled by what was in front of him. A strangely shaped big bird with its wings spread out, it was more than three meters long, and its sharp claws caught a child of about four or five years old. The child screamed miserably and twisted constantly. A young man was madly holding a long stick and desperately hitting the big bird, but it was a pity that the bird looked like it was about to fly away. Cheng Cheng took out his pistol and shot it at the big bird's head. With a bounce, the bird made a fierce scream and crashed to the ground, and the child also fell down. The youth seemed to be shocked, and suddenly jumped up again, screaming something and ran towards the bird landing.

Cheng Cheng also ran over and saw the young man crying and screaming while holding the child. The father and son hugged him for a long time, and he didn't dare to let go for a long time.

"It's okay." Cheng Cheng asked.

The young man jumped up as if frightened, holding the child and watching Cheng Cheng cautiously. Cheng Cheng was still holding a gun in his hand. He pointed the gun at Big Bird. The young man suddenly understood. He kept bowing to Cheng Cheng and thanking him humbly. Something.

"What are you talking about?" Cheng Cheng didn't understand him at all, and the young man wore a knee-length animal skin skirt with something unknown on his upper body. The kid was only wearing a piece of animal skin. Skirt, so Cheng Cheng doesn't know what these two father and son do? What age are you still wearing animal skins.

Cheng Cheng and the young chicken made gestures with the duck for a long time, and they didn't understand the other party's meaning. Cheng Cheng wants to ask him where is this? And what the other party was talking about? After working for a long time, Cheng Cheng sat on the ground properly, thirsty and tired. I opened my backpack to find the last bottle of water, and only took a few sips carefully.

The child suddenly said, "Water?"

"You can speak Mandarin?" Cheng Cheng was overjoyed. Just now he thought that the young man was a minority and could not speak Chinese. He was still thinking about how to ask the way to leave here. I didn't want this kid to know that he was drinking water. It’s much easier to come and learn Mandarin for children.

The child stared brightly at the mineral water bottle in Cheng Cheng's hand, and swallowed hard. Cheng Cheng didn't want to give him the bottle for hygiene considerations, but he obviously saw the children and young people swallowing, it seemed that both the father and son were extremely thirsty. The two people shouted exhaustedly just now, probably because they were thirsty.

Cheng Cheng took out an empty bottle again. Fortunately, he was reluctant to throw it away. He poured half of the water in the bottle into the empty bottle, and gave the other bottle to the child.

The child took the water, took a few sips, and gave it to the young man. The young man also took a few sips, but he was reluctant to let it go and watched carefully while holding the empty bottle.

"Mother, meat." The child pointed to the big bird on the ground and cried excitedly. Cheng Cheng also understood this sentence.

"Can you eat it?" Cheng Cheng asked.

The child kept screaming for meat. The young man was embarrassed to say something to him. The child turned around and asked Cheng Cheng: "My mother said you got it and you should assign it." I swallowed embarrassedly, and my stomach made a noise, which meant that I was so hungry.

"How to eat it? Do you know how to make it?" Cheng Cheng couldn't make such a big bird.

The child seemed to understand his words and spoke to the adult again. The young man nodded and picked up a knife at his foot to cut the bird’s leg, but the knife didn’t look very good. He couldn't cut it after working for a long time. Then he picked up a big rock and beat the big bone at the base of the bird's leg forcefully. Cheng Cheng looked at his knife and didn't know what it was made of. He tried to cut it. The bird found that it was not easy, so he took out his Swiss army knife, opened the knife, and quickly cut off a piece of meat.

The youth also got off a bird's leg. Seeing that he cut off a large piece of meat so easily, he curiously looked at the knife in his hand. At this time, the child couldn't care about anything, he kept drooling and screaming for meat. The young man was embarrassed to instruct him to do something, but he was dealing with the bird's legs. The little child gathered a pile of firewood around. The young man took two stone-like objects, hit sparks, and lit the leaves and Some withered grass, then set up a pile of firewood to burn it, cut a twig again, cut the bird's leg meat, put it on and started roasting it on the fire.

It’s impossible. Just eat like this. It’s too bold, Cheng Cheng thought to himself, and he used stones to make fire. It wouldn’t be flint. What age is this, and some people use flint. Will be so backward. Cheng Cheng thought about it all in his heart. After a while, he smelled the smell of meat and realized that he was hungry. Only then did he discover that the young man was sprinkling some yellow-white crystalline powder on the meat, and the meat was already roasting. , It looks like it can be eaten.

The child kept drooling and staring at the meat, but the young man quickly cut off a piece of meat, wrapped it in a clean big tree leaf, and handed it to Cheng Cheng. Cheng Cheng took it, but he did not dare to take a mouthful. He felt unclean, there was no water here, and the young man had never washed his hands. Now his hands were dark and dirty, and the powder he sprinkled looked unclean. He was afraid of diarrhea.

The young man cut another big piece and gave it to the child. The child took it and ate it, screaming hot, but eating quickly. The young man smiled, cut a piece of it himself, and ate it slowly. When Cheng Cheng saw the fragrant food they were eating, he took a small bite, only to realize that the powder might be salt, the surface of the meat was salty, and it was roasted well. It tasted good. If you can sprinkle some cumin and chili powder It was even more delicious. The bird looked big, but the meat was very tender. After taking a bite, Cheng Cheng felt his appetite widened, and he ate it. The three quickly ate up one bird's leg. In fact, Cheng Cheng only ate two yuan, a full two to three catties, which made him support it. The father and son were still eating. After eating the whole bird leg, they also roasted a piece of meat that Cheng Cheng tried to cut first, before stopping.

When the child was full, he stopped crying for meat. Instead, he circled Cheng Cheng and stared at his knife. The adult was also tidying up the remaining bird meat, but his eyes kept squinting. The knife, Cheng Cheng couldn't stand their piercing gaze, so he handed the knife to the young man. The young man took it and tried it carefully. He found that the knife looked small, but it was very useful and easy to use. He liked it all at once. , I quickly removed the remaining leg of the big bird, and cut off the meat from the other parts. However, the bird also had meat on both legs. The other parts looked big, but the meat was cut off. not much. The young man cut the roots thinly and tied the meat together, seemingly to be taken away.

The child rushed to one side of the woods, and after a while he brought two large fruits. They looked like oranges, but they were much larger than the usual oranges. One might weigh more than two catties. , He passed the two on his hand to Cheng Cheng, and picked it again. Cheng Cheng tried to peel the oranges, and he saw that the flesh inside was oranges. It tasted really orange, sweet and sour, water The servings were enough and delicious. He was very full, so he only ate a little and a half and then stopped eating. He found a convenient bag in his backpack and wrapped the orange meat. The other intact is held in hand.

The child picked two more oranges and came and handed them to the young man. The young man smiled and touched his head. He took it and peeled it and ate it. He also ate only one, and put the rest into one on the ground. In the small animal skin bag, his knives, salt, flint, etc. were all packed in it. He tied the animal skin bag around his waist, carried the flesh and motioned Cheng Cheng to go with them.

Cheng Cheng tried to say a few words with the children along the way. Cheng Cheng discovered that although the children can speak Mandarin, they can only speak simple everyday language. Maybe they still learnt it by himself. Because he found that the adult couldn't understand what he said, and he couldn't understand what the child and the adult said. But the words of water, meat, and what to eat should be universal. Young people also understand.

Cheng Cheng walked with them for more than two hours. He was too tired to walk. Then he saw a small river. The child ran to the river and jumped into the water to play, while the young man carried his things into the river. A cave not far away. Cheng Cheng also followed him to the cave, and found that it was very rudimentary inside, which looked like a bed with a roll of things on it, several clay pots on the ground, and some miscellaneous things. The youth put things down. I also went to the river to wash my hands, and then began to process the pile of meat. In fact, I just took the salt and sprinkled it directly on it, which seemed to be marinated and preserved. He did not return the knife to Cheng Cheng, but used it to divide the meat into small pieces and clean the meat from the bones before returning the knife to Cheng Cheng. Home.

At this time, the little child hugged a big fish and ran in with a smile. The young man took the fish and got out of the hole. Cheng Cheng followed them out. Seeing that the young man used the unfavorable knife to deal with the fish again, okay. When the fish was easy to cut, he quickly cleaned the fish, sprinkled it with salt, and put it on the branch. It seemed that it was ready to be roasted, but it shouldn't be the time to eat it, and it's not early. When the young man had nothing to do, he began to gesture and chat with Cheng Cheng, and the kid came over to translate.

It took a long time before I realized that the young man was called Tru, and the child was called Batu. The three people have exchanged names and got acquainted.
