Locke, who was only dressed in broken clothes and half a piece of turf, was awakened in the middle of the night. When she woke up, she found that Angelina was hugging Locke tightly like an octopus, and Locke who was asleep was not polite. , Clutching the greasy meat with both hands, Angelina's clothes were all deformed by him.
Well, Locke awoke awkwardly and took out his salted pig hands. Before falling asleep, Locke covered Angelina with half of the sod, and only covered one corner. No wonder after the bonfire went out. Was frozen awake. After inhaling her nose, Locke quietly opened Angelina’s limbs, wrapped in her own torn clothes, and hurriedly walked to the extinguished fire. There were no sparks in the fire, only a pile of burning remains. The jet black charcoal, this is not difficult for Locke, he covered some flammable dead branches in the pile of charcoal, and blow it hard, the charcoal glowed red, and the dead branches in the charcoal slowly burned When the fire started, Locke protected the fire, added some new withered grass and leaves, and the fire slowly grew into flames. Finally, add a few more branches and a warm campfire appears.
Locke, who re-ignited the bonfire, was not in the mood to go to sleep when he returned to the cave. While watching the bonfire, he took the half of the turf and continued to knit. The woman didn’t know when she hugged him. She thought of her just now. Holding his own scene, Locke's face was intoxicated, princess, princess, this is much noble than aristocrats, brother is also quite charming, Locke is proud.
The crackling bonfire, Rock with the quilt woven in the cave, Angelina sleeping quietly, the night is very warm.
"He~" Early in the morning, Locke, who yawned, stretched out the lazy waist that had not moved all night, walked to the lake and washed his face, sober and clear. There should be no other animals in this place. In the second half of the night, Locke did not hear anything. Only the faint howling of beasts came from the depths of the jungle. Of course, the distance was very far. Locke didn't worry about unexpected guests. Visiting.
Washing his face with salt water is uncomfortable, plus there are some small scratches on Locke's face. Locke has carefully avoided the wound, but it still hurts his teeth. After washing his face, Locke held the sharp stone that was stained with blood in one hand and his dagger in the other. He continued with the goal that he didn't complete yesterday and explored the surroundings.
Angelina hasn't woken up yet. Angelina, who hasn't woken up for a day or two nights, makes Locke's heart sink. Soldiers in the barracks usually stay awake for so long, so they probably will never wake up. Locke didn't know that Angelina was depleted of her mental power. As for when Angelina can wake up, it depends on when her mental power can recover. Judging from the actual situation of her entry-level apprentice, this time is between two to three days.
Locke first went to the place where he woke up yesterday. He has been wondering. If he fell directly from above and landed on this sandy beach, even the soft sandy beach was used as a buffer, it would inevitably be crushed. Into meatloaf. Unless it falls directly into the water like Angelina. When Locke felt downstream yesterday, the buoyancy of this saltwater lake was not so great. No wonder Angelina could float on the water quietly without sinking.
Since I might have been in the water for the first time, how did I get on the shore? This saltwater lake should be stagnant water, and there is no motivation to push him up. This time Locke carefully circled the saltwater lake. When he reached the side of the cliff wall, a very faint "dingdong" sound came from behind a raised rock wall. Locke took a closer look. , I saw water constantly seeping under the stone wall, and the water velocity was not low. Locke took some with his hands and tasted it.
Freshwater, Locke's eyes lit up.
Looking at this rock wall no smaller than his own body, Locke spit on his hand, grabbed the sides of the rock wall with both hands, and broke it hard. The rock wall was not as hard as imagined. Let Locke break off. The stone wall fell into the lake, and then the "rushing" water flowed down from the break in the stone wall and into the lake. Locke guessed that there is a water source in the mountain wall, and the water flows directly into the bottom of the lake from the mountain wall, so the lake looks calm, but in fact, there is water thrust under the lake.
With the water source, Locke is much more relaxed, at least not to worry that they will die of thirst. After all, the body fluid of that strange creature is limited. To provide water for two adults, it also needs fresh water from the water source. Holding the water in his hand, Locke drank several sips. The water was much better than river water and had a sweet taste. It's a pity that there is no container for water storage. Locke himself said that Angelina is in trouble, so she can't hold it in her hand. Take the water back and feed it to her. It is estimated that the water will be sprinkled before it runs over.
Locke looked at the woods around him, and he had to make a wooden pot.
Walking into the woods, Locke is not in a hurry to find a tree trunk that can be used as a wooden pot. He keeps cutting thick trunks, but he can't do thin ones. Let's walk and watch. In addition, Locke also tried to find trees with fruit, such a dense forest, he did not believe that trees without fruit, there are many trees that can bear fruit even in winter, not to mention that it is not yet winter.
Locke didn't dare to go too far. He was afraid that this forest would confuse him. Every two steps he walked, he used his dagger to carve a mark. There are a lot of pine trees here, and Locke has already planned to go back at noon to bring a pine cone. You can't fill your stomach, and it's good to be a snack.
There are many trees in the woods that Locke doesn't recognize. Although he has traveled north and south for many years, most of the plants in the woods have never been seen. After all, it is the Bering Mountains with demonized creatures. It is normal to have plants that he does not know. Locke explained to himself that the strange creatures on the lake, at least when he was a child, had not seen the strange creatures by the river in front of the village.
I walked a lot and found nothing. A somewhat impatient Locke simply walked deeper into the woods, this time he did not disappoint. A strange tree with red leaves, and a few stubborn yellow fruits hanging from the branches. Locke inserted the dagger back into his boots, using both hands and feet, like a flexible monkey, climbing the tree in two strokes. Rock is a good tree climber. When he was young, he often went to the back hills of the village with his neighbor Hans, where there were many trees.
A total of seven were picked, and Locke couldn't find it. If it wasn't there, or it was too far away from the trunk, Locke couldn't reach it. After getting off the tree, Locke stuffed seven walnut-sized fruits into his arms and walked forward. Maybe the forest is deep and the trees are richer, and Locke has found several trees with fruit, the species is different from the one he met before. After a lot of work, Locke had a bunch of fruits he didn't recognize.
Mark this place, and Locke walks back and forth along the way.
After I went back, it was noon. The sun was shining on the sand beach, and there was a warm feeling when I stepped on it, and it was almost two extremes from the cold at night. The lake was shining brightly under the sunlight, it was a beautiful world. Unfortunately, Locke didn't have time to visit. On the contrary, the gray-white creatures that crawled out on the sand beach to bask in the sun attracted Locke's attention and licked his mouth. At noon, the ‘chicken’ compote was ready, Locke decided.
Returning to his nest, Locke took out the harvest first. A dozen or so green or yellow fruits were placed on the ground by him, and there was a section on his back that resembled a bamboo pole. Trees. This is the material that Locke has found for a long time to make a kettle.
If these fruits are poisonous or not, Locke doesn't know, so he can only use the most primitive method and taste a little of each. He has a grudge, as long as it is not very poisonous, and a little toxin ingested, the problem is not big, at most diarrhea. There are three kinds of fruits. Two of them are okay after tasting them for half a day. They are not poisonous. The other is a slightly blue fruit with black spots. After Locke eats it, there is a slight tingling in his abdomen. Even if it is not poisonous, Locke I don't plan to eat this kind of fruit anymore, who knows the side effects. Throw away this slightly blue fruit, there are 12 fruits left, which should be enough to eat.
First, regenerate the bonfire, then Locke went to the sand beach to perform the same trick again, "Boom! Boom!" With two sounds, the sharp stone in Locke's hand was contaminated with two fresh lives. Carrying two strange creatures with eight claws, Locke thought of a new way. A few washed yellow fruits were directly stuffed into the creature's shell, and the two were thrown into the fire together. Although the materials are limited, Locke still knows how to eat.
After a while, the smell of meat came and it was ready for dinner. With the fragrance of meat and the fragrance of fruit, Locke had a very pleasant lunch. Of course he did not forget to save half of Angelina. The feeding process did not have the first day's frustration. Although Angelina's noble status made Locke excited, she was just a sleeping beauty at this time. The trial Locke calmly helped Angelina swallow. He ran to the side of the cliff again, picked up some water with the preserved carapace of a strange creature, and fed it to Angelina. Locke was only busy and cleaned up the debris.
In the initial investigation in the morning, there was not even a living thing except this strange creature in the past four weeks, and I was too lazy to clean up. I just piled the food scraps together and threw them into the fire to keep them glowing.
In the afternoon, Locke doesn't plan to go out for the time being. There are still a few fruits left in the morning, plus the strange creatures that are still crawling on the sand beach, so supper will not worry. Locke bit a dark green fruit of another kind and took a dagger to serve the section of tree trunk that he found. Locke was sour, but he still tasted delicious. All afternoon's busy work, in exchange for two arm-length water bottles. Take it to pick up the water and try it, OK, no leakage. Locke’s principle is that it’s not important to look rough, just use it.
The evening is here, and it's time to worship the five internal organs temple. Working together, Locke was too lazy to make new tricks, just like at noon, ‘meat and fruit’, this is the name Locke gave for his own meal. As for when to leave this place, Locke hasn't thought about it for the time being. She has to wait until she wakes up, her injury is healed, and her grudge recovers before she can make any plans. There are no threatening beasts here, there is water and food, it is good to settle here temporarily.
Locke chewed something in her mouth to feed Angelina, thinking about when she woke up, Angelina lying on the grass mat moved her eyelashes slightly, and a few seconds later, she slowly opened herself moving. Eyes. Locke, who had already leaned down, stared blankly at Angelina, who opened her eyes. The thing he was chewing on was smoked into his stomach somehow. . . . . .
