Chapter 37 Chapter 37
Mi Li, who had just exercised, sat on the ground and rested for a while. There was a violent storm outside, and even the entrance of the cave was the same.
Mi Li hid in the corner. Although there was no wind or rain, Mi Li gradually discovered that the temperature seemed to be getting lower and lower.
The most intuitive feeling is the gradually cooling fingers.
This?
Is winter coming?
Every autumn rain brings a chill. The rice grains can hardly bear the weather now.
The fire in the small pyre had been completely extinguished. Mi Li felt cold and had to move to a more sheltered place to prepare to start a fire again.
No matter it is windy or rainy outside, on a small higher platform at the innermost part of the cave, rice grains are burning, and the small pot (the helmet and small basin are uniformly renamed to this name) is taken out. The world is big, but eating is the most important thing.
Throw a few sand dates in and cook some for breakfast.
After the fire got big, Mi Li started brushing her teeth and washing her face.
Although this small cave is leaky, it is not completely wet by wind and rain.
After the sand dates were cooked, he had a quick breakfast and then sat quietly by the fire.
I had planned to cross the mountain after collecting enough food, but it seems that this is not going to work.
It was only late autumn and the temperature had already dropped very low after just an autumn rain. If she set out rashly and couldn't find the cave, and then encountered winter, Mi Li couldn't imagine what would happen. Although she had stored a lot of food now, what if!
Mi Li doesn't want to gamble anymore!
She had to climb over this mountain, but it depended on time. Right now, her small body alone was enough to make her desperate!
The only bold idea she had was to walk out of the desert. If it weren't for the camel's help, she would have turned into a cup of dirt. Now that she had sufficient supplies, she didn't dare to take the gamble!
It turns out that people can only be fearless when they are in the most desperate situation!
Although she hasn't seen anyone yet, she is already a little scared!
This is the laziness that material abundance can easily bring to people.
She is just a child! What's wrong with being lazy? Mi Li couldn't help but find an excuse for her laziness.
Since she can’t head to the next place, Mi Li really needs to take advantage of the rainy day to make new plans this time!
I thought I would only live in the cave for a few days, but now it has gone through so much wind and rain. It seems that I need to install a door. I can’t always sleep on hay, I need to make a bed. In addition, if it is cold in winter, I must prepare winter equipment...
The more Mi Li thought about it, the poorer he became. The poorer he became, the more he thought about it. Finally, he realized what was going on with himself.
Damn, she did the math and realized that she is a poor person now!
I want nothing!
There are no winter clothes, no quilts, no shoes...
Even if she wanted to dig some traps to catch animals, she didn't have the right tools.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she felt. She might as well have died in the desert!
This is really too difficult for her as a little child.
Gradually, the wind seemed to stop and the rain became much lighter.
Mi Li, who was immersed in her own plans, had no idea that something happier than the Chinese New Year was about to happen.
The wind stopped, the rain became lighter, and the wild boars began to appear again without fear of death!
Another loud thunder struck, interrupting Mi Li's immersed thoughts.
It seemed that just after the deafening thunder had passed, Mi Li seemed to hear a distant wailing.
Mi Li really couldn't help but care. The terrible pig's screams scared Mi Li so much that she shivered!
Oh my God!
Could this group of wild boars be nearby?
And it was raining, what happened to the wild boar? It was screaming so miserably, could it be struck by lightning?
Mi Li was right. There were indeed two stupid little wild boars in the group. They hid under the tree to avoid the rain. Now it was just the right time for God to strike down and give Mi Li food!
Mi Li suppressed the urge to go out and investigate, and began to take out the rabbit skin, preparing to scrape the fat off the rabbit skin with a knife. After all, as a life expert, she would definitely watch the science program in its entirety.
After all, one can't give up halfway.
I tried hard to recall the several methods of dealing with fur that were introduced at that time.
Suddenly seeing the extinguished fire, Mi Li seemed to have thought of something and suddenly became happy.
“Alkaline water soaking method!”
After removing obvious impurities, soak the rabbit skin in alkaline water, then use both hands to rub off the blood, grease, and stains on the rabbit skin. Then take out the rabbit skin, squeeze out the water and dry it in the sun.
During the drying process, the rabbit skin should be spread flat, the four corners should be fixed, and then placed in a sunny environment, waiting for the moisture on the rabbit skin to evaporate. Be careful not to expose the rabbit skin to the sun to avoid symptoms of hair loss.
Mi Li clearly remembers that this is the simplest way to process rabbit skin!
Since there was no way out anyway, they just did it. They took out the rabbit skin and then moved some of the ashes from the extinguished fire into a small stone pit in the deepest part of the cave.
He scooped some water from the small puddle and put it into the stone pit, intending to get some wood ash water.
Mi Li's hands were not idle either. She was carefully removing the fat from the rabbit skin in her hand, which was much bigger than her.
After all, I am not an experienced hand, and although I have peeled off the entire skin completely, some impurities are still left.
I worked carefully all morning.
Although the rabbit was very big, it did not have any small animals like fleas.
The rain was drizzling outside, while the fire in the cave was bright.
Mi Li stretched. It was indeed tiring to maintain the same posture for a long time, but when she thought about getting cooler, she felt it was worth it.
No one knew where the water in the small puddles in the cave flowed to, but it did not splash into the cave.
After quickly eating a few sand dates, he went back to work.
There is no way. After thinking about the coming winter, Mi Li really wishes she could use one hand as two. Feeling the coldness in the air, Mi Li is becoming more and more anxious.
No wonder I haven’t seen a single snake since I came to this mountain. It turns out that they have already gone into hibernation.
Gradually, it seemed that the rain outside had stopped.
Mi Li was also very tired. Staring at one place for a long time was not good for the eyes.
So it seemed like a good idea to take a walk in the woods while the rain stopped, especially since the howling of the wild boars made Mi Li feel very anxious.
After taking out all the wood ash from the wood ash water, put the rabbit fur made today into it and soak it. This will allow the rabbit skin to be made better in the future.
