Chapter 49: Preparation

 The two rested for a while on the edge of the grass field and began to prepare lunch.

    Chen Chao was making bacon porridge while weaving rattan baskets, but instead of weaving new rattan baskets this time, he wanted to seal the rattan baskets with vines.

    Taking into account that there may be many changes in the future, Chen Chao worried that the things inside would spill out.

    The rattan basket on the back is completely sealed, and all the things needed are left in the rattan basket at the front. There will be changes at that time, and it is not a pity to lose everything.

    Watching the little boy sitting on the ground, groping for something, while picking it up, he took off the animal skin around his waist and wrapped it up.

    After sealing the rattan baskets, Chen Chao saw that there were many dandelions on the grassland, some of them were new and tender.

    Dandelion is the most typical wild vegetable. This thing is delicious, but it needs to be copied with cold water. It is delicious with porridge after being cold.

    You can also use frying directly to fry the dandelion, which is delicious. After eating Chinese cabbage for so many days, I am tired of eating it anymore.

    Especially the oil that is partly fried with bacon and fatty meat, the fried dandelion has its own oily and salty taste, and the small stones who don't know what they are doing are also attracted.

    Walking on his two skinny legs, he staggered over, still holding his animal skin in his arms. When he walked to Chen Chao who was still frying the dandelion, Little Stone squatted down and opened the animal skin that he had been holding in his arms.

    Holding Chen Chao's hand, he pointed at the opened animal skin "ahhhhhh". When Chen Chao looked down, he could only see large and small stones in the animal skin.

    I don't know what Little Rock does for picking up rocks. Chen Chao only thinks that he is playing games like playing house wine with him, don't all children like to play this kind of game.

    Seeing that Chen Chao ignored him, Little Stone took Chen Chao's hand and pointed to the stone in the animal skin and the bacon porridge in the pottery pot.

    He said anxiously, "Ahhhhhh...eat."

    At the same time, he thought distressedly, wasn't it all like this when he was in that dark cave?

    Picking up rocks for those people, do they give themselves a small piece of fruit, or a small piece of animal flesh and water every day?

    Is it because I ate something yesterday and didn't pick up the stone? Is he angry? But he didn't yell at himself...

    or are the stones not enough?

    Little Stone was going to look for Stone again. Chen Chao was frying the dandelion, so he left to play.

    When the dandelion was fried, and seeing that the little stone hadn’t come back, Chen Chao went to grab the little kid who was holding a pile of stones in his arms, and was about to knock off the stone in his arms and wipe his hands clean. Good meal.

    Hearing the little stone holding the stone in his arms cried out again, "Ahhhhh...eat...", Chen Chao seemed to understand something suddenly.

    Little stone... He must be leaning on the salt mine to pick up salty rocks in exchange for a little bit of food every day... His

    nose suddenly sore, and he felt that he could endure hardship, and the softness in his heart seemed to be touched.

    He took the stone in the little stone's arms carefully, put it together with the stone in the pile of animal skins, touched the big head of the little stone, and helped him wipe his hands clean.

    Then he brought the clay pot to his mouth and let the little stone drink first.

    Since the pottery bowl is also used to fry dandelions, there is no additional container now, so you have to take a bite for two of you, and I sip the bacon porridge while I bite.

    Chen Chao also picked up two thin wooden sticks as chopsticks and took two bites of dandelions to eat. This one didn't give much to the little stone, but occasionally picked one or two for him to sip and taste.

    Little Stone, who drank the bacon porridge, thought happily,'Here this person, picking a stone can get a lot of food. Picking it up once can be so much more than it used to add up to many days. '

    After lunch, Chen Chao picked out a few sharp ones from the stones picked up by the little stone, took off the animal skins on his body, and moved around his crotch.

    After fixing it, the position was determined, and then it started to smash after taking it off. After smashing out a few small holes in the place that needs to be fixed, put it back on the body and fix it with vines, and an original loincloth is ready.

    Because he considered that he might want to ride a horse in the future. In this era without saddles and harnesses, his crotch is not protected. When sitting on the horseback... the

    horse ran forward a few times...

    he would not fall off. Say...

    then what...but you have to sorrow...

    Furthermore, if the horse is not used to ride, what is the use of grabbing...After the

    best crotch protection, Chen Chao took out two more animal skins and sacrificed again Two small cabbages. First smash a few small holes on one side of the two animal skins, leaving a place for your arms.

    Then he put on the small hole that was opened with a vine. After fixing one side, Chen Chao put on the half-made animal skin clothes on his body, measured the position that needed to be fixed on the other side, and started to smash the beast again. skin.

    After the animal skin clothes are finished, the edges of the two pieces of animal skins are still a little more, which is quite a lot, but one more is not enough. Chen Chao thought about it for a while, then started smashing the animal skin again, smashing the extra parts away.

    Seeing Chen Chao making gestures on himself, Xiao Shiu curiously squatted aside and watched, making "Ahhhhh..." sounds from time to time, or occasionally a few words in native dialect that Chen Chao did not understand.

    He only learned a monosyllable "eat" from Chen Chao yesterday, so he still asked questions about things that he couldn't express yet.

    Chen Chao touched a small stone big head and said, "clothes."

    Small stone with his mouth open, but no sound tried, and finally in Chen Chao repeated encouragement and teaching, only to say tone "clothes."

    Listen After arriving at the Little Stone Academy, Chen Chao happily touched his head again. There was still not much flesh on his body, but his complexion was not as sallow as he saw at the beginning.

    After smashing open the part of his own animal skin, Chen Chao thought about it, and used the extra part to make a loincloth for the little stone. Then he made a piece of clothing for him with little stone's own animal skin.

    The clothes of the little stone are much simpler. You don't need to smash it into a circle by smashing an arm position on the side, just smash it into a seam.

    Then smashed a few small holes on the side to leave the position of the arm, and then use the vine to wear it. The big one must be a little big, not only is it much larger horizontally, but also the vertical length reaches the knee part of the small stone.

    I tried two simple animal skin clothes and confirmed that there was no problem. Chen Chao dissolved all the salt prepared before in a clay pot with water, and then dipped the two animal skin clothes inside.

    As for the inner loincloth, it’s not good to wear it when it’s wet and salty, and it’s enough to have outer clothes for protection, and the inner one doesn’t need to be ~

    two pieces of animal skin clothes need a section Time can fully absorb the salt water in the pottery pot. Chen Chao but this time under the original capital, spent a full third of the skins bag gray salt to the letter when it does not attract small group of wild horses were ~~

    taking advantage of a little time, Chen Chao with a stone ax Short spear dug a hole in the ground, buried the sealed rattan basket in half, and then covered it with the excavated soil, forming a small soil bag.

    If you want to take it away at that time, run to this side, put your hand in the bag, and then lift it up. Because the rattan baskets were sealed, there was no possibility that the contents would spill out.

    Considering that this is definitely not going to be done right away, it should take about 2-3 days, so Chen Chao was worried that there was some weasel group, and he smelled the smell inside, while he was not paying attention. , I bite the rattan basket and divide it, and then I didn’t get the wild horses by that time. I really lost my wife and broke the army... The

    other semi-enclosed rattan basket was left on the grass for use and occasionally came back. , And dates and pomegranates are placed inside, these things, but the key to my second step, are important strategic materials~~

    In fact, it seems a bit unworthy to count, but if you can take these wild horses back to the tribe, how much manpower and time will be left for the tribe when the spring starts next year.

    After checking the straw rope on his body again, he came out this time with three full sections, each with a height of 1.5 meters. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, Chen Chao was about to implement his plan.

    Hehehe, the system boss cheated the horse online, and the plan started!

    The first step: mix into the horse herd.

    The second step: win the favor of the horses.
