let go of that priestess

So to build a camp, we need to observe whether there are footprints, feces and nests of wild animals around.

In addition, it cannot be built in areas with many snakes, rats, and insects and scorpions. "

"Oh, that's right too." Ji Cheng nodded, then was startled when he thought of something.

"Uh, scorpions or something...

correct!After spending a night in the forest, I said that I always felt a little strange, why there are no mosquitoes here! "

"Mosquito?"

"Yeah." Ji Cheng nodded and said, "A particularly annoying creature, in a sense it's harder to defend against than bugs and scorpions.

Occasionally carries viruses and parasites and transmits malaria to you while you sleep. "

"what?"

Jiang Hongdou was a little nervous when he heard that.

In her opinion, no matter what the disease is, as long as the word disease is used, it is terrible, not to mention——

"It will be passed to you secretly when people are sleeping? Secretly!?"

"Yes, that's why it's hard to defend." Ji Cheng stretched out his hand and gestured, "It's about this big, it can fly, it's mass-sucking, and it sucks blood.

If there is such a thing, we must have had a terrible sleep last night, have you seen it before? "

"no......"

Sounds like such a scary creature...

Jiang Hongdou thought about it carefully, and said seriously: "I have never seen it before, I must have an impression of it!"

"Well, that's it."

Ji Cheng narrowed his eyes and rubbed his chin, then said after a while:

"According to my history, mosquitoes first originated 2.26 million years ago.

Modern mosquitoes actually appeared in 7900 million BC. They were originally only in sub-Saharan Africa, and did not sweep the globe...

In other words, if the historical process is different, the mosquitoes here are still not spreading in a certain place for some reason?

Or, none at all! ?

Wow!This, this, this is not good! "

At the end of Ji Cheng's speech, he was a little excited.

Jiang Hongdou also breathed a sigh of relief: "Without mosquitoes, we won't get that so easily... malaria?"

"Yes~" Ji Cheng nodded with a smile: "You don't have to be annoyed by this stuff anymore!

Even in modern society, mosquitoes are super annoying creatures to humans. You have never experienced it, and you don’t understand...

In short, regarding the protection of insects and animals in the camp, it is still based on your experience, you continue to say. "

"Oh... I think about it.

By the way, there is one more point, the camp you mentioned should be in the leeward and slightly higher ground, I would also like to add.

Sometimes, regardless of the overall high terrain, there are also hills that are lower than the surrounding ones. It is best not to use such places as camps, we must pay attention.

Because of the heavy rain, the camp may be flooded. "

......

......

On the way, the two fully exchanged opinions.

One provides theoretical knowledge and one provides practical experience.

Finally, an ideal camp standard was agreed upon, and based on the girl's familiarity with Kanchen Forest, a few quasi-camp sites were roughly determined, and they waited for further investigation.

The topic of the camp came to an end, and they began to plan for their stomachs.

When meeting a white bird, try to use the old method to set up a simple trap to catch it, then knock the prey unconscious and store food.

In this way, around 2:[-] pm, Ji Cheng and Jiang Hongdou arrived at their destination along the river——

In the upper reaches of the Tamsui River, the last step of the Damu people's sacrifice, the sacrifice site of sending them into the water god road.

There are still some traces of sacrifices on the river bank.

Human footprints, bonfire remains, discarded torches, and the goal of this trip——

A palm-sized piece of hematite and several shells formed a human figure kneeling on the ground.

Hematite represents the human head, shells form the body, and there are black lines drawn on the outside, which should be drawn with charcoal.

"This painting is about me."

Jiang Hongdou squatted down, and while explaining, he stretched out his hand to shake it, messing up the kneeling posture of the humanoid pattern, and picked up the piece of hematite.

"Here, tribal sacrifices, things that wear red powder for makeup."

"En." Ji Cheng took it for confirmation, then took out a long strip of flint he picked up on the road, and under the girl's expectant eyes, he rubbed the two with force.

click!

Sparks burst out and flashed by.

Everything looks so natural, effortless and simple.

No prayers or blood was needed at all.

Just add a little flammable material to catch the spark, and the burning flame will ignite the bonfire.

Jiang Hongdou's expression was both happy and a little complicated, and finally he smiled in relief:

"I'm hungry~"

"Well, let's cook!"

Ji Cheng took her hand, put the two stones representing fire in her palm and said:

"You know the method, you come to make a bonfire, and I will deal with the white bird."

"Good~"

Jiang Hongdou was a little excited and grabbed the stone to start a fire.

Ji Cheng looked at her and smiled.

Just like a small science experiment in class, there is nothing more interesting and impressive than trying it yourself, isn’t it~?

After about half an hour, the two successfully filled their stomachs.

Then, the bonfire that was lit, not only does not need to be carefully cared for this time, and someone will take care of it, but it has to be ruthlessly stomped out without leaving a trace of sparks.

While stepping on it, Ji Cheng said, "No one is watching, we'll just leave like this, it won't be good if it causes a forest fire, this forest will be our land from now on!"

"Yeah! It's so easy to make a fire, so easy!"

Jiang Hongdou stepped harder than him, with more force.

After extinguishing the bonfire, she seemed to be in a good mood, humming an unknown tune, picked up the charcoal into the box, and then turned around with Ji Cheng.

"Over there, one of the camps we mentioned earlier is not far from there."

"Okay~"

Ji Cheng followed the girl's finger, looking forward to it: "Come on, let's have a look!"

Chapter 19 The Stone of Life (seeking tickets)

The time now is around 3:[-] pm.

The two were lucky and didn't spend too much time looking for a camp.

When the girl followed the girl to the second quasi-camp site to be inspected, Ji Cheng looked around, thought carefully for a while and said:

"Just here!"

"Yeah!" Jiang Hongdou observed together and felt very satisfied.

Judging from the ideal camp standard they agreed on before, this place has already met it very well.

The terrain is slightly higher, but not too high, and the surrounding is wide and flat.

A little far ahead, but not too far, is the continuous mountain range, which blocks the wind direction and belongs to the leeward position, and there is also a source of water——

The water of the Danshui River flows down from the mountain, and here is the source.

On the other hand, mountain streams have more rocks, less soil, and less vegetation, so most animals prefer to go to the lower reaches to drink water.

This avoids predators, or the big wood family that may come back in a year, but it does not affect their access to water.

In short, everything looks pleasing to the eye, and it is many times better than the simple camp in the forest before!

It's just that there is still a little bit of security risk.

Jiang Hongdou pointed to the other side of the mountain and said: "The dragon we saw before, judging from the direction it flies, its lair should be at the top of the mountain."

"But it shouldn't come down the mountain to find us..."

Ji Cheng looked together, feeling a little ashamed: "According to what you said, dragons seldom come and go, and they usually come out to fulfill the mission assigned by the gods.

Then...the gods don't exist, that is, they appear in the world extremely rarely for some special reason.

It was also the first time you saw me last time, right?And it's just a rumor among the Damu clan, and no one has actually seen it? "

"Yes." Jiang Hongdou nodded: "Only three generations of priests before me saw a dragon from a distance, held a sacrifice, and recorded it.

so......"

The girl stopped talking, and the two looked at each other, making up their minds together:

"It doesn't matter, it's here!"

......

......

After the camp is selected, the development can finally begin.

But today is different from yesterday, they already have poles, no need to weave again.

And it is also closer to the water source, and it takes only ten minutes to go back and forth.

That is to say, I have more time today, with the experience of making the heated kang last time, and the girl has freed up this time to increase the production manpower.

Therefore, they can make an ultra-simple modified version of the heated kang more easily.

There is still a place to sleep, this must be done again.

After a while of hard work, the heated kang was completed that night, and it did not collapse!

The two of them danced and danced by the campfire excitedly. After dinner, they lay down on the kang happily.

"Shu, it's comfortable~"

Ginger Red Bean sighed in satisfaction.

The bed was warm, and his arms were also warm, and the grass on the bed had to be weaved a little today, so it wasn't so tight.

Ji Cheng hugged her with the same expression, comfortable and relaxed: "Listen, isn't the surrounding much quieter? This is the benefit of being leeward~"

"Well, there aren't any wild animal footprints around here, so I'm sure I'll be able to sleep well tonight."

Jiang Hongdou nodded, thought for a while and asked, "What shall we do tomorrow?"

"Enter the Stone Age~"

Ji Cheng smiled and said, "We're going to start grinding the stone axes and knives too, and then we'll make the biscuits and get the containers.

Once we have the tools, we can build houses, weave real clothes, build perimeter defense fences, and more.

In short, it is necessary to further improve the quality of life. "

As he spoke, he kissed the girl deeply, then frowned slightly and added:

"Uh, and, you don't smell as good as yesterday, and we have to start preparing for the bath."
