Survival In the World of Beasts

When Li Shizhao returned to the bamboo house, he devoted himself to the vigorous wheat research. He brought back at least one schoolbag of the plant he temporarily named wheat.

First, he awkwardly lifted the seeds from the ears by hand, and after working for several days, he only collected a handful, which was very inefficient. But how to get rid of the shell is really a problem. He used bamboo to make a set of mortar and pestle used in the laboratory. These two things are also very rough. The mortar is directly used with a thigh-thick truncated bamboo tube, and the pestle finds a relatively heavy grinder. Get a smooth wooden stick.

Put the wheat seeds that were finally picked up directly into a mortar, and use a pestle instead of grinding, but hammering. In fact, this is pounding rice, but Li Zhixun, who grew up in the city, has never seen it before, only by doing experiments and observations. His intuition used such a set of equipment for grinding rice.

Seeing that the husk was almost peeled off in the mortar, he was also very tired and juicy. He planned to make a dustpan tomorrow to see if he could sift out the husks.

When he finished his research and stopped to take a rest, he found that Bai Hu was a little embarrassed for some time. He recalled that it seemed that it had been several days. In the evening, it didn't go down for activities or go swimming by the puddles as before. Instead, when lying in the bamboo house, it lazily fiddled with something with its paws, lying on the uneven floor. Rolling around.

He knows that he has neglected cooking recently because he is busy studying wheat. Perhaps Baihu is a little unhappy because of this neglect. The only people living together here are the two of them. It's really right to care about each other. This kind of neglect and lack of good food probably really makes Bai Hu feel depressed. Although, Li Shizhao is more inclined to the latter is the main reason for his unhappiness.

I'll make something delicious later, maybe this will soothe this big cat, who seems to be a little irritable. As a result, when he walked in front of it, it was funny and angrily to find that it was actually the tyrannosaurus eggs that it was rolling around and playing.

You have to know that these are all good eggs. The real tyrants of the future do not know what evil they have committed. First they were kidnapped from their mother by two immoral and conscientious persons, and then reduced to a toy rolling ball for one of the kidnappers. Forced to accompany to play.

Bai Hu looked up at him innocently, then lowered his head and continued to push the egg bones around, knocking out a crisp sound.

Li Shizhao sat next to it and touched its collapsed ears. It was not hot. Is it uncomfortable elsewhere? He stretched out his hand and scratched its neck gently, and Bai Hu gently rubbed his hand, but he did not respond aggressively as usual.

Li Shizhao moved his big head, looked at his eyes carefully, opened his mouth again, and carefully checked his teeth, tongue and mouth. The big cat didn’t know if it was too lazy to struggle or it didn’t matter, he cooperated like a large toy. Li Shizhu's actions of unknown significance, but he did not notice any special symptoms, that is, there was no inflammation or swelling. So, this may be a psychological problem?

Big cat is also a wise life like him. He probably has many troubles that he can't understand. He can't understand his troubles like listening to his friends in modern times. What he can do is probably just sit quietly and accompany him. . After all, they are not the same race, maybe not only in language, but also in many other aspects, there is no way to fully understand each other.

After a while, he took out a Swiss army knife, opened the nails on it, and whispered: "Would you like to sharpen your claws?"

It seems that since Li Shizhen realized the problem of getting along with the tiger on an equal footing, he never gave it any more claws, probably after so long, it has grown a lot. I don't know if it has been polished by himself.

The big cat let out a lazily "whoop", as if he didn't want to move, and the big white plum blossoms lay lazily on the ground.

Li Shizhao put its claws on his knees, and popped out his claws like the first time. After carefully observing them, he began to sharpen them carefully.

The half-closed eyes of the big cat reflected the focused profile of the opposite youth, the drooping eyelashes, the bright eyes, and the slight regular movement on the paws made it breathe out gently, and slowly closed its eyes and fell asleep.

Li Shizhao sighed softly when he saw the sleeping cat after grinding his paws. What happened? Isn't it just a psychological reason, the body really consumed too much that day, and it hasn't recovered?

He thought about it carefully. It seems that the big cats he saw on the earth rarely prey at noon, and they never keep running at high speed for a long time. Because the heart can't stand it, they sometimes prefer to give up their prey. Usually this big cat will never be active at noon. If it can be avoided, it seems that even though the Geely suit blocked part of the direct sunlight that day, the long-distance flight still brought its body under such tremendous psychological pressure. Hurt, hope this damage is not irreversible.

But if he thinks about the strong physique of the big cat, he will probably be back to his former vigor after a few days of eating well.

In the evening, Li Shizhao gave a full banquet for the local tyrants ==

He used the fruits and vegetables collected in the afternoon and the prey in the trap to make a variety of eggs, steamed, fried, and egg rolls, but limited to the quantity of materials, each of them is not large, and there are some other big cats. He had no way of knowing which kind of egg was more suitable for the big cat's appetite for the things he usually liked. Li Zhihao prepared many kinds of eggs in order to restore his body and mind.

The big cat was tempted by the fragrance and woke up with a fluttering nose. When he saw all kinds of delicacies on the table, his saliva was dripping... lowered his head and rubbed his eyes on his paws, oh, isn't your respect dreaming? No, definitely not, it hasn't dreamed so much in its dreams in the past few days! Not to mention there are many kinds of it, it hasn't been eaten, let alone anything dreamed of.

Li Zhizhu held his forehead and looked at its big shiny eyes. Is it really a foodie nature? He found a large bowl and placed a row in front of it. Seeing that it hasn't gone hunting today, it should be able to eat.

After eating, I cleaned things up, washed them, and put them back together. Li Shizhao began to pack up the house. Eggshells and other things should be thrown away. By the way, even the eggs of the No. 1 tyrant in mainland China. The eggshell was not particularly hard, which disappointed Li Shizhao, who was still a little expectant for the material.

Fortunately, these eggs are still egg whites and yolks, otherwise he really doesn't know how to start them. I originally wanted to hatch and observe again, not to mention, I felt that eating the half-hatched eggs would have caused evil, and I felt a little disgusting when I thought of it. If the hatched dragon comes out, he doesn't know how to deal with it.

The big cat that is full is very satisfied. This is the first time that it has been fed to its fullness. It can be regarded as a long-term dream, but it looks completely different from the way it usually satisfies and licks its paws. Although it seems satisfying, there is always something missing.

After Li Shizhao finished cleaning up, he sat next to it and sighed, "Why were you unhappy just now?"

Bai Hu tilted his head, looking like he didn't understand.

Li Zhizhu stretched out a small charcoal strip and painted it on the side wall. The first Q version of the tiger’s ears stood majestic, the tail flicked, and the eyes were dazzling, and the second tiger, with its ears and tail hanging down. When I came down, my eyes were listless, and even the word "King" on his forehead was a little lingering.

Li Shizhao's charcoal strip pointed to the first ear that was upright: "happy", and pointed to the second ear that was drooping: "unhappy."

Then looked back at the big white cat and asked again: "Why not happy?"

Very rare, Li Shizhao took the initiative to stare at Baihu's blue eyes solemnly.

Bai Hu suddenly lay down, turned his head, carrying Li Shizhen on his back, as if he didn't want to answer, and he seemed to be thinking about the answer.

Li Zhizheng lightly touched its slightly moving ears: "You, like me, are you homesick?"

Bai Hu turned his head, his bright blue eyes blinked suspiciously.

Li Shizhao drew a stick figure of a house on the wall, and wrote the word "home" beside it. Bai Hu blinked and said nothing. Li Shizhao suddenly thought of the living environment of the Leopard clan. He patted his forehead. He drew a mountain next to the house and a cave under the mountain. He tilted his head and put a tree on the edge of the cave. Under the tree was a young tiger with a vigorous spirit.

Bai Hu gradually stood up, and his blue eyes stared at Li Shizhen's charcoal without blinking.

After Li Shizhen put down the charcoal strips, his gaze was still frozen on the simple "home" on the wall, as if he was gazing at the cave, and his mood drifted to an unknown distance. This is the first time he has seen such a dazed big cat. It seems that he has always been able to grasp his life situation very well, and there are few inexplicable cranky thoughts of Li Shizhao.

Li Shizhao didn't bother it. He understood this kind of thing too well. The place he couldn't reach was called the distant place, and the place he couldn't go back was called his hometown. Perhaps, this white tiger also has a place where he can't go back.

After that day, Baihu seemed to have gradually recovered a little energy. Li Shizhen guessed that he was indeed a little tired, and his physical fragility inevitably evokes emotional weakness. As a life of wisdom, even if his soul is as strong as a white tiger, he cannot be without Gaps and weaknesses.

Li Shizhao just took turns to make some delicious food for him, let him relieve the emotion of missing, at the same time, he also replenishes the nutrition and restores the body and spirit.

He also sifted out the wheat that day and grinds it. Seriously, he really doesn’t know how to deal with this thing. He can only rely on his feelings, adding a little water and mixing it up, frying it, or roasting it. Kind of feel better.

This wheat pancake is slightly rough and hard, but it does have the sweetness of grain that Li Shizhen is familiar with. Baihu likes to eat it when the meat is sandwiched. If it is purely roasted, it will sniff and go straight away. Don't be too carnivorous.

One person and one tiger resumed their usual work and rest. Li Shizhen no longer requires it to recognize the words on the menu or calculate it correctly before giving "snacks". After all, Baihu's current literacy and counting have been learned enough, and Li Shizhao also hopes that it will eat more recently to make up for the previous physical exertion. He thinks that learning as long as it satisfies normal communication. Higher-level learning depends on the big cat's own interests.

Bai Hu seemed to have left behind the situation that day, and gradually recovered his former spirit.

As usual, Li Shizhao is going to continue to stock some durable foods such as sweet potatoes in the bamboo house. At the same time, the appearance of wheat makes him feel that maybe he can try planting around the bamboo house, so that he can have more stable food. source.

But the houses and caves on the wall, Li Shizheng and Baihu, did not touch them tacitly, as if they were treasured in their hearts, carefully keeping them on the wall.

The weather gets hot day by day, and even herbivores hide in the shade of trees and cool off by the water source at noon, and no longer dare to be exposed to the sun. Li Shizhao observed several times in silence. They all had their stomachs bulging, but they were still eating desperately. They seemed to be trying their best to reserve in silence, making plans for what was coming, for fear that this reserve was not enough.

Li Shizhen keenly perceives the unusual aura on the jungle grassland.

The news was confirmed and confirmed by the heavy expression of the white tiger looking into the distance one day. Obviously it was not accidental that the herbivores prepared in this way on a large scale, but what was really going to happen.

"What happened?" Li Shizhen couldn't help but asked.

Bai Hu did not answer it directly, but in a jumping room, he jumped from the window to the table next to it. It stretched out its paw and knocked over the bamboo cup Li Shizhen put on the table, and the water slowly flowed from the cup. On the table top, it drips onto the bamboo floor, and penetrates through the gaps in the bamboo. The traces of water just disappeared little by little, turning from a puddle of water into scattered drops of water, and finally the drops of water also evaporated without a trace in this extremely hot weather.

Li Shizhao only felt that a thunderbolt was blasting in his mind, the hotter and hotter weather, the herbivores that hadn't rained for many days, and the herbivores that tried hard to eat, and then contacted the water that could not be recovered, everything had the answer: The dry season on the grassland is coming.

He tried hard to think about the impact of drought on the jungle, without any solution. But it is certain that if there is a drought, the water source of plants will be reduced, then the food source of most animals must be a problem, and their food source must also be a problem.

Li Shizhao calmed down, now that the drought is not so serious, he silently calculated his food reserves in his heart. Fortunately, because of the constant sense of crisis and the cautious nature, he really hoarded a lot of food.

He stared at the traces slowly drying out on the ground, but without water, it would really be a big problem.

He sighed. He should have thought of it long ago. In this tropical region, the alternation of rainy and dry seasons is definitely an eternal melody. When he first came here, those frequent rainy nights, and the recently reduced hot rainfall, this is a typical tropical monsoon climate.

On the grasslands of the earth, herbivores in the dry season will migrate. What about here?

Li Shizhao cast his sights on the white tiger.

He and Baihu once again came to the bamboo forest next to the "sand table" they used to prepare for the salt cliff last time. The terrain that Li Shizhen simulated this time was quite vast. The jungles, grasslands, and rivers he had seen were all on it. He didn't know the far place, so he could only hope Baihu's confusion.

Baihu first drew out the bamboo tube used by Li Shixun to intercept the water and form the river. Then the water seeped into the sand and the river gradually dried up. Then the green fruits used by Li Shizhen to represent herbivores above, large and small, were swung across the river by the tail of the white tiger, and the red fruits representing ground carnivores were also waved behind the green fruits.

That direction is north.
