MTL - This Is My Primitive Tribe-Chapter 14 cage vine

The first year of the establishment of the Vine tribe, on February 5th.

"Boom!"

"Crack!"

In the sky, the first thunder of this year exploded, and thick lightning pierced the sky from time to time, illuminating the ground.

"Huhuhu..."

The strong wind also picked up. If you look at it from the sky, the new leaves in the virgin jungle are like a green ocean, undulating.

"Tick...tick..."

The raindrops fell. At first, it was just a few scattered drops, and gradually it became bigger and bigger, turning into a rain curtain, washing the earth in all directions.

Standing under the eaves of the bamboo house, Jiang Xuan looked at the heavy rain outside and felt very happy.

When it thunders and rains, it means that spring has truly arrived.

He went back to the house to find the bamboo tube used as a calendar, and engraved two simplified characters next to the fifth day of the second month: Jing Zhe.

Jingzhe is a very important solar term. It represents the sudden movement of spring thunder, the increase of rain, and the gradual warming of the climate.

As the so-called "spring thunder stuns hundreds of insects", after the sting, the thunder will wake up all hibernating animals, including all kinds of insects underground.

The warm and humid weather also provides favorable conditions for spring ploughing and sowing. If you are planting trees, you will start planting them after the sting.

Chi Shao came over curiously and asked Jiang Xuan, "Xuan, what did you engrave?"

Jiang Xuan thought about it for a while. He couldn't explain the fact that he was a transmigrator. In order to avoid future troubles, he decided to tell Chi Shao a story.

"Sister, I tell you something, I don't know if you believe it or not."

"What's up?"

"I was in a coma on our way to escape."

Jiang Xuansha said meaningfully: "Actually, I had a dream at that time. I dreamed of an old man wearing a linen coat and holding a cane in his hand. By the way, he had very complicated lines on his face."

After Chi Shao heard Jiang Xuan's description, she said with a serious face, "You should be dreaming of a witch from a certain tribe."

As soon as they heard about the "witch", Uncaria, Shiloh, and Nanxing all gathered around and listened carefully to Jiang Xuan's story.

"This old man taught me many things in my dream, such as fishing, farming, domesticating wild animals, building houses, etc."

Jiang Xuan handed the bamboo tube to Chi Shao and said, "He also taught me a special script that can be used to record things, such as this, the calendar."

Chi Shao curiously looked at the text on the bamboo tube and said, "What is a calendar?"

Jiang Xuandao: "The calendar is used to record the days, and you can also record the events that happened that day next to the days. For example, there was a thunderstorm today and all the insects came out, so I recorded it as 'Jing Zhe'."

Chi Shao couldn't read the words on the bamboo tube, and she didn't know what "Jing Zhe" meant.

Uncaria, Shiloh, and Nanxing also came over to watch, and they also felt a sense of ignorance.

"And then?" Uncaria couldn't help asking.

"Later the old man told me that he was actually dead, and his soul would soon dissipate. The reason why he taught me so many things was that I hoped that I could pass on these things, so that he would have no regrets."

"Since then, I haven't dreamed of the old man again, but I remember everything he taught me in the dream."

Chi Shao looked suddenly enlightened, and said, "So that's the case, no wonder you know so many things."

For tribal people, witches are very mysterious and possess many incredible abilities. Therefore, Chi Shao and others did not doubt what Jiang Xuan said.

Jiang Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If he comes up with anything new in the future, he can push it on the old man in the dream, which saves a lot of trouble in explaining it.

Jiang Xuan put the bamboo tube back in place, and then said to Chi Shao: "The method of farming was also told to me by the old man in the dream. He said that as long as you follow his method, you can get more food than collecting in the wild. "

Chi Shao nodded and said, "Then let's give it a try."

Jiang Xuandao: "We have opened up a lot of wasteland. We can plant Huangjing, sweet potato, and sweet potato. If we find other seeds, we can also plant them."

Since the melting of the ice and snow, Jiang Xuan's main focus has been on reclaiming wasteland except for hunting and gathering. Now he has reclaimed seven or eight acres of land, and the front of the bamboo forest is wider than before.

"Also, if you find small saplings of wild fruits outside, you can also dig them back together with the roots and soil, dig up a little bit, and plant them near our tribe. In the future, we won't have to travel too far to pick wild fruits."

Chi Shao said: "You are the leader, I will listen to you."

The three teenagers also nodded. Anyway, the leader is the biggest in the tribe, and they do whatever the leader says.

"Okay, when the rain stops, we'll go up the mountain!"

After Jiang Xuan finished speaking, he waited with everyone for the rain to stop. He couldn't wait to plant all the cultivated land with grain and vegetables.

In order to enter the mountain, he sharpened a few bamboo spears as weapons.

Bamboo is an old bamboo that has grown for many years and is very thick.

After breaking the bamboo, choose a thick bamboo strip with a width of about three centimeters, first smooth it with a stone, grind the end into a pointed tip, and then bake it again with fire to dry the water.

After the spear tip is baked, the hardness will be greatly improved, it is very sharp, and it can easily penetrate into the body of the prey.

Jiang Xuan polished one long bamboo spear and three short bamboo spears, all of which were blackened with fire, very hard and sharp.

At noon, the rain stopped.

After having breakfast, Jiang Xuan and the others brought weapons, rattan baskets, animal skin bags, etc., and carefully painted totem patterns on their faces.

The tribal people believe that by painting the totem pattern before entering the mountain, they can obtain the protection of the totem god.

After everything was ready, Jiang Xuan and the others walked to the forest to the south.

In the morning, the sun rises from the other side of the small river. Therefore, the other side of the small river is east, the back of the ancient vines on the stone mountain is west, the direction of the original deer tribe is north, and the direction to the right of the bamboo forest is south.

The north is a place of sadness, so they prefer to go to the forest in the south.

It rained in the morning, and the ground in the jungle was very wet. Fortunately, there were thick dead branches and leaves on the ground, so it was not muddy.

There is a fresh smell of grass and trees in the air, mixed with the smell of rotten branches and rotten leaves after the rain, forming a unique taste of the virgin forest.

After entering the forest, the five people's attentions were all focused, their eyes were always on the ground and the abnormality in the trees, and their ears were always listening to the movements around them.

Jiang Xuan held a bamboo spear in his hand, and carried a rattan basket on his back. Three short bamboo spears were also placed in the rattan basket. He was a little nervous and a little excited, because he didn't know what he would encounter in the jungle.

"crunch..."

In a huge rotten tree that fell to the ground, there was the sound of sawing wood. Jiang Xuan walked over and used a bamboo spear to pick up the bark of the withered tree. He saw a fat white bug that had bitten through the withered tree. Show a head.

The body of this bug is the size of a teacup, with a brown head and a pair of large black teeth that can easily bite through wood.

"The same level of bugs has four times the protein content of beef!"

Jiang Xuan whispered something, then pierced the insect's head with a bamboo spear, and then threw it into the rattan basket.

All kinds of insects in the jungle, as long as they can be eaten, they are basically the food of tribal people.

Because of their large number and size, they are easier to catch, and they taste good after roasting.

Not only Jiang Xuan, but also Chishao, Uncaria and others, if they encounter edible insects, they will kill them first, and then take them away.

They continued to walk forward and saw many birds and beasts along the way.

As the weather gets warmer and all kinds of animals come out, the jungle becomes dangerous and lively.

Jiang Xuan was walking when he suddenly stepped on some brown vines spread flat on the ground.

These vines are grid-shaped and look quite weird. After Jiang Xuan stepped on them, he felt quite fresh. The appearance of these vines was really weird.

"Xuan, be careful!"

Chi Shao next to her suddenly exclaimed, but it was too late.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The grid-like vines under Jiang Xuan's feet suddenly rose like a large net, quickly closing the enclosure, turning into a circular cage, trapping Jiang Xuan inside.

"What the hell!"

Jiang Xuan was shocked and wanted to tear the vines apart, but found that the vines were very flexible. With his current strength, they could not stop!

At the same time, some smaller vines, with barbs, extended towards Jiang Xuan in all directions.

The barbs of the vines carry a paralyzing toxin. Once stabbed, the trapped prey will lose its ability to resist, and finally be strangled to death, rot, and become the nourishment of the vines.

The space inside the cage was too small, Jiang Xuan kept pulling the vines, and the situation was very critical.

Just at this critical moment, Chi Shao rushed over with a stone knife in hand, squatted on the ground, quickly cut away the dead branches and leaves, and then slashed the trunk of this strange vine that was sticking to the ground.

This kind of vine is called the cage vine, UU reading www.uukanshu. The upper part of the com is a circular web, like a spider web, and the lower part is the trunk, which is relatively short and sticks to the ground.

It is very scary. Once trapped, unless the strength is strong enough, it is difficult to escape alone.

Only those who understand it and are outside the cage can accurately find its trunk and cut it off in time to save the trapped people.

Chishao's stone knife was very sharp, and she quickly cut off the backbone of the cage vine with her full force.

When the trunk of the cage vine was chopped a few times, the vines that were attacking Jiang Xuan slowed down significantly. When its trunk was cut off, those vines immediately lost their ability to attack and stopped moving.

Uncaria, Shi Loach, and Nan Xing ran over, hurriedly tore apart the entangled vines, and rescued Jiang Xuan inside.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister, what kind of vine is this? It's really scary." Jiang Xuan looked at the vines and asked with lingering fears.

"This is called a cage vine. Its barbs have a paralyzing venom that can trap the prey. After being paralyzed, it will slowly strangle to death. If you see this kind of vine on the ground in the future, you must take a detour."

Jiang Xuan, Uncaria and the others nodded, they had already seen the horror of this vine.

"However, its juice is a good thing. Put a little on the arrowhead or spearhead. After hitting the prey, the prey will be slowly paralyzed and its movements will slow down."

Chishao took off her spears, short spears, and stone knives, and smeared the spearheads and blades with the sap of this cage vine.

Jiang Xuan, Uncaria and others also painted their weapons with this paralyzing toxin juice.

Afterwards, the five continued to walk forward. After what happened just now, they became more cautious.
