Chapter 14 Hunting
Lu Jinxin wiped her tears and said, "Brother, I believe in you. I will grow up as soon as possible and help you."
She knew that Lu Jinnian worked hard, but she was so young that she could only do so much. She would do her best.
The other brothers nodded in the same way, with a firm expression.
Lu Jinnian smiled and said, "Just grow up well."
After that, she turned to look at the fireplace. It was not bad, and there was no smoke at all.
The chimney of the fireplace must be higher than the roof. It is made of stone, and then the gap is filled with clay.
This way, there will be no smoke, and it can also increase warmth and safety.
If you don't do these, it is easy to burn the shack when you light the fire. It would be a joke to burn yourself in the middle of the night.
Lu Jinnian doesn't want to be burned to death instead of being killed by zombies.
"We can move in today." Lu Jinnian looked at the new shack with satisfaction. There was a wooden bed inside.
Under the bed was pine needles to isolate the cold air, and then there was a wooden bed.
It was covered with wood of the same thickness, and then a simple mattress made of hay was placed on it, and then a torn quilt was laid on it. It was perfect.
"Brother, you are so awesome." Lu Jinxin looked at the new bed and was very happy.
They could finally sleep on the bed instead of sleeping on the floor.
After Lu Jinnian made the bed, he said, "Let's eat in this room today. I'll put up the pot first."
There was a beam above the middle of the fireplace, and the pot could be hung on it.
It was very convenient to cook by making a fire below.
"Brother, let me cook. I can do it too." Lu Jinxin could cook porridge, basically cooking and housework, and a little embroidery, but now she didn't have those things.
Lu Jinnian didn't refuse her help. Only by letting them feel that they could do something, it would be more meaningful.
She took out the remaining eggs and said, "Let's eat them today. I'm going hunting tomorrow. I don't have time to go these days."
It was already very busy to build a house, so how could she have time to go out hunting? She wished she could split herself, because she was really too busy.
Although everyone was afraid of being hungry, they believed what Lu Jinnian said, so they ate with peace of mind and were not afraid of being hungry again.
After finishing the meal, they packed up their things and the siblings all lay in bed, feeling relaxed.
Don't mention how good this place is. This shack is bigger than the previous one. Apart from the bed, there is only one aisle. It is difficult for two people to walk, but it does not prevent them from feeling at home.
Looking at the scenery outside, Lu Jinnian felt that she still had to work hard. Living like this was not a solution. She had to have a proper home.
Now she didn't even have the door ready, and there was still a lot of work waiting for her tomorrow.
She fell asleep in a daze after closing her eyes.
When she got up the next morning, the weather was still very good, and many leaves outside had turned yellow.
Lu Jinnian washed up, ate a little porridge and stopped eating. Everyone ate with a pot, and each person had a small wooden spoon, and there was no bowl.
"Brother, are you going out now?" Lu Jinxin now called him brother.
Anyway, Lu Jinnian was the only adult in the family, so they were all obedient.
Lu Jinnian nodded and said, "You guys eat first, I'll go out to see if there's any prey. In addition, you guys just collect firewood nearby, don't go too far, understand?"
"Got it!" The younger brother and sister said in unison.
Hearing this, Lu Jinnian smiled and carried the axe on her back and left. This was the only tool in the family, and also a weapon.
She marked the way along the way and walked into the mountains with the axe on her back.
This was the good thing about ancient times, as soon as you went out, you were in the wild.
She walked along a beast trail, which was a path trampled by wild beasts.
The road was very narrow, but there were deer footprints, which looked quite large, unlike ordinary deer hoof prints.
Some deer are afraid of people, but some deer are not afraid of people and will attack.
Deer antlers are very hard, and usually if you are hit by the antlers, you will be injured.
Lu Jinnian was very careful. She released her mental power while walking, and she could know every move within two meters around her.
For example, there was a poisonous snake one meter away, and there was a poisonous spider one and a half meters above her head.
She walked over and was not attacked. Wild creatures generally will not follow you as long as you don't get close to their attack range, unless they are animals like wolves and tigers.
After walking for about half an hour, there were no animal trails on the road.
She saw something not far away and walked over, then squatted down to check.
It was deer feces, which was easy to distinguish.
It seems that there are really deer nearby, and they are not a group of deer.
Lu Jinnian was very happy, and took out her bow and arrow to search along the way. Her bow and arrow was a compound bow, which was very powerful and stronger than ordinary bows and arrows.
This kind of bow and arrow is the most suitable for hunting large prey. The shorter the attack distance, the greater the power.
Climbing up the tree and observing the surroundings, she soon saw an elk walking in the forest.
Lu Jinnian's eyes lit up, but she didn't draw the bow and shoot the arrow immediately because the distance was too far.
And if she missed, the elk would escape from here, and it would not be easy to find it again.
Seeing the body of about 800 kilograms, Lu Jinnian's saliva was about to flow out.
Elk still has fat, so it can be eaten, and if not, it can be sold.
And deerskin can be used to make mats or coats. What they lack most in the cold winter is clothes.
But this must be shot first, otherwise everything is a fantasy.
Lu Jinnian watched the elk getting closer and closer, quietly pulled up the bow and arrow, closed one eye and aimed at the other party.
Suddenly, she suddenly loosened the bowstring, and an arrow flew out of the string.
With a sound of breaking through the air, the elk screamed, and then ran away quickly.
Lu Jinnian quickly climbed down from the tree and followed the elk that was getting farther and farther away.
She did not forget to mark the way so as not to get lost.
The injured wild animal will burst out with amazing strength and will not slow down until it runs far away.
Lu Jinnian looked at the disappeared elk, but was not frustrated. Instead, she carefully observed the surrounding weeds, which had some bloodstains on them. They were all from the elk.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, she finally saw the elk lying in the grass.
One arrow had been broken, and the remaining arrow was stuck in the lungs. It was obvious that it had no breath.
However, Lu Jinnian was more cautious and poked it with a branch. After waiting for a while, she went to check.
Sure enough, it was no longer breathing. With a smile on her face, she began to bleed it with a knife.
Blood in the body will become bad, so it is necessary to bleed it as soon as possible, and leave here quickly to avoid the approach of those jackals, tigers and leopards.
The bleeding process lasted for more than ten minutes. Lu Jinnian directly put the elk into the space and left here quickly.
