"Pooh, pooh, pooh!" Wu Yue spat out a mouthful of pig hair with a resinous smell, and ran outside to rinse his mouth repeatedly.
It seems that simply gluing it on won’t work! He pondered for a long time and came up with a new method.
Cut the wood into the shape of a toothbrush, cut the brush head into two halves, and drill holes in one half, placing them close together.
Choose longer wild boar hair, pass it through the top of the small hole, and then pass it through the bottom of another small hole. This way there is no risk of hair falling off, and the hair will spread out on both sides and will not stand up.
That doesn’t work either. Wu Yue thought about it again and came up with a new idea.
The toothbrush handle still had the same structure, and was still made by folding the longer boar hair in half. This time, he tied it with a thin ribbon as a lead and stuffed it into the small hole, leaving a small hole on the back.
After making each small hole in this way, it looked a bit like a toothbrush from the front. Of course, it wasn't stable yet. So to make it more secure, Wu Yue used string to string all the small holes on the back together.
Tried it, and it seems to work this time.
After applying a thick layer of resin on the back, Wu Yue glued the other half of the wood piece on.
This time, Wu Yue patiently waited for the resin to dry completely before trying to use it. And sure enough, he didn't end up with a mouthful of pig hair this time.
Strike while the iron is hot, he made several more in one go, and then began to study the toothpaste. Although he used it very sparingly, there was not much of it left.
The ingredient list on the back of the toothpaste was full of chemical names. Even though he was a poor student, he couldn't figure out what the specific ingredients were after looking at them for a long time. So he gave up and just mixed salt and charcoal powder to use as tooth powder.
There was plenty of charcoal available near the campfire, and there was no shortage of salt either. He easily got enough for a whole ceramic bowl.
Looking at the gray-black powder in the bowl, Wu Yue couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought that he would have to rely on this thing to clean his teeth in the future. His teeth were really suffering.
It's not just teeth, the same goes for hair and skin. In a world without soap and shampoo, it always feels like it's not clean enough just using river water.
Speaking of which, in the time-travel novels he had read before, the first thing many protagonists did after traveling through time was to make a fortune by making soap. How was that thing made?
It seems to be...wood ash water and lard, right?
Wu Yue suddenly became energetic. He had plenty of wood ash. As for lard and animal fats, they should be fine. He could just get some when Xiao and the others came back tonight.
However, these wild animals have very little fat, so it is very precious. He took a little for his first try to avoid wasting it.
Just as he was full of anticipation, the sky gradually darkened and the hunting team returned. Wu Yue, who had been waiting, saw them coming from afar and hurried to meet them.
Seeing Wu Yue walking towards him with a smile, Xiao was very surprised. Just as he was about to offer something in his hand, he saw Wu Yue walk straight past him and stand in front of Shi, who was carrying a wild boar behind him. He said in surprise, "We actually hunted a wild boar. That's great. Shi, save some fat for me later."
Shi carefully glanced at his leader's cold expression and agreed.
"Cough cough cough." Xiao coughed a few times and finally attracted Wu Yue's attention.
"This is..." Wu Yue looked at the trembling little creature being held by the scruff of the neck in Xiao's hand, "Fox?"
Xiao nodded: "The little fox was frightened by us and hit a rock and fainted. The injury is not serious. Do you want to raise it?" He still remembered that Wu Yue once told him that if there were animals with minor injuries, they could raise them and let these animals reproduce in the tribe.
Wu Yue frowned and looked at the obviously young yellow-haired fox with a bit of disgust.
Foxes are not very meaty, are wild and difficult to tame, and have a strong flavor. In Earth's ancient history, no human race has ever domesticated them.
In modern society, people raise this thing for its fur, but the Sharp Fang Tribe has no shortage of fur.
He didn't really want it.
The little fox was dragged all the way by Xiao, and was terrified. Now there was a stranger staring at it, and its eyes widened in fear, and it made a wailing sound like a puppy.
Well, cute animals always have privileges. These two cries were so pitiful that Wu Yue felt a little bit sorry.
He couldn't do something like letting the prey escape, which was a "why not eat the meat" thing, so why not keep it for now?
I reached out to take the little fox, but as soon as my hand touched it, a child-like voice suddenly rang out in my mind: "Be afraid, be afraid!"
Wu Yue was startled, let go of his hand and looked around, but there were no noisy children nearby.
"What's wrong?" Xiao was puzzled by his behavior.
"No." Wu Yue shook his head, looked at the little fox with a weird look, and then stretched out his hand again.
Sure enough, as soon as the little fox was touched, the voice rang out again: "I'm scared and don't want to die!"
The voice in my head... is that the fox's!? Is this some kind of monster?! Startled, Wu Yue asked Xiao, "Xiao, did you feel any voices in your head when you were holding this fox?"
Xiao shook his head, looking confused, not knowing what he was talking about.
Wu Yue ignored the fox and saw that there were still many prey that were not dead behind him, so he hurriedly walked up to touch them one by one.
But even though these animals were still groaning, panting, and breathing, no sound appeared in his mind.
It's really weird...
Wu Yue grabbed the fox from Xiao's hand and walked towards his house despite the noise in his mind.
He grabbed the fox that kept yelling "Scared, scared" in his head and went into the house. He closed the door and tried to communicate: "Hello? Why can I hear you talking? Are you a fox spirit? Or did you travel through time as well?"
The fox's cry stopped for a moment, and then started again.
Is there no way to communicate? Wu Yue thought for a moment, slowed down his speech, and tried again, word by word: "Quiet, An-Jing, no, kill, you."
He didn't express any expectations, but the fox seemed to understand. It stared at Wu Yue with its big eyes, and there seemed to be a hint of surprise in its eyes.
Surprised that this biped could actually communicate with it.
It actually worked! Wu Yue took out a small piece of sausage from the space and put it to the fox's mouth, still saying slowly: "You, don't run, eat meat."
The fox looked at him carefully, sniffed the sausage, and actually opened its mouth and took a bite.
Wu Yue slowly let go, and the fox took a few steps back with the sausage in its mouth, but it didn't really run away.
Wu Yue stared at the fox eating meat, wondering what was going on.
First of all, Xiao didn't hear the fox's voice, so it doesn't mean that the fox has the ability to "speak in secret" or something like that.
Secondly, other animals don’t have this situation, so it’s probably not that he suddenly mutated and understood animal language.
He is just an ordinary human being. Apart from meeting aliens and traveling through time, he did not have any special ability to communicate with animals in the first half of his life.
Oh, right, the communication pills given by aliens!
Maybe the problem lies there. Could it be that we can use that thing to communicate not only with primitive people but also with animals without any obstacles?
Looking at the little fox, he felt that he might have found the answer. The effect of the communication pill should be that it can communicate with animals with a certain degree of intelligence.
Just like some popular online pet dogs that can understand commands and express simple needs through body movements, this fox must also have a certain level of intelligence, so it can barely communicate. The other animals, on the other hand, either lack intelligence or are near death and therefore unable to express themselves.
Wu Yue was surprised and happy. This was really an unexpected gain!
The little fox over there finished eating a piece of sausage and cried out to him twice.
Perhaps it was because the fox was barking at him, so although it was not as clear as when it was being stroked, Wu Yue miraculously understood what it meant: it wanted to drink water.
He took out a ceramic bowl, poured cold boiled water into it and placed it on the ground. The little fox hesitantly walked forward and began to lick it.
Gently stroking the fox's fur, Wu Yue suddenly felt that it would be nice to have such a pet that could communicate. However, he wondered if this thing could catch mice and hunt.
If possible, why not just raise a bunch of them?
