through the absurd and primitive

Chapter 7 Active Volcano

The days went on like this, Ying Bai was very opposed to Li Mo going out to hunt, he always wanted to keep Li Mo in the cave, Li Mo had no choice but to promise him to hang around here, Li Mo actively prepared food, every time Ying Bai He didn't say anything, but there was a little pain in his deep eyes.

The past few days are still the same as usual. After Ying Bai left, Li Mo secretly picked up the weapon again. This time, she was going to go to the heights of the forest to take a look. I don’t know if the winter is coming to an end and the snow has already appeared. A sign of melting, the river not far from the cave has recently begun to unblock, but Li Mo is not very happy, because all the creatures in the river died overnight, and those dead fish were caught in the crevices of the rocks, The way her eyes widened made Li Mo very uncomfortable.

In the past few nights, when Li Mo came out to take a urinate, she smelled a strange smell and didn't pay attention at the time, but the smell for several days in a row really made Li Mo feel restless in her sleep.

A few days ago, Li Mo asked Yingbai, and Yingbai said that winter did not end so quickly in previous years, and now is not the time for the snow to melt.

Walking along the lower reaches of the river, passing through a small grove, there is a highland somewhere, Li Mo wanted to have a look.

It was very quiet along the way, which made Li Mo feel terrified. He heard from Yingbai that there used to be a lot of birds here, but now there are only a lot of bird nests left, and there is not even a bird song.

Yes, these phenomena are really abnormal. Li Mo stayed in her hometown when she was a child. It was a quiet small mountain village. The most old banyan trees in the village, Li Mo once bet with a bunch of kids on who could climb the highest.

Li Mo chose a tree that looked the tallest and was just the right size for her to climb. Her climbing ability was really not that good. Although Nao was not a child king when she was young, fortunately this tree has many branches and is hard When Li Mo climbed to a height of seven or eight meters, she suddenly smelled the strange smell at night again. Looking at the tree trunk above her head where she could not see the top, Li Mo sighed , cheer yourself up in your heart, let's go up a little bit.

Li Mo didn't know how high she had climbed, but when she carefully sat down on a thick tree trunk, she could see the river in the distance, the white snow in the distance, and...

Li Mo's heart skipped a beat, no, it wasn't.

She couldn't believe what she saw with her own eyes, and wiped her eyes abruptly.

Looking at the layer upon layer of forests in the past, across the snow-covered plains, across the gradually thawing rivers, you can see a volcano with green smoke, yes!That's an active volcano!

Li Mo suddenly lost the ability to speak, and only saw the volcano that was constantly emitting green smoke. It turned out that the smell that he smelled these days was the smell from the volcano. Ying Bai said that it has not yet arrived. The days of the end of winter, the ice and snow shouldn't melt so quickly...

Li Mo touched her beating heart with her cold hands.

She knew that they had to leave here quickly, an active volcano was far more dangerous than anything else.

Li Mo stood up and began to look around. After thinking for a while, Li Mo climbed down carefully. She didn't stay too long, but went back to the cave quickly. When passing by the river, she took some water and smelled After smelling the water, Li Mo finally poured it out.

Li Mo returned to the cave, muttering, and then kept looking outside.It wasn't until a familiar figure appeared in front of the cave that Li Mo felt relieved.

Yingbai glanced at the cave, there was no food, guessing that Li Mo hadn't gone out, Yingbai breathed a sigh of relief.

Yingbai was about to pack up his prey, but was stopped by Li Mo.

"Yingbai, has your place always been so quiet? I mean, have there been any earthquakes or volcanic eruptions?" Li Mo asked cautiously.

"No, what is a volcanic eruption?" Ying Bai was a little puzzled.

Li Mo thought suddenly in his heart, seeing Yingbai was a little confused, he suddenly pulled Yingbai back.

"Yingbai, come here, I have something very important to tell you."

After Li Mo finished speaking, Yingbai's brows kept frowning.

"This kind of thing has never happened here before, but the weather these few days is really abnormal. When I went out to hunt, the animals went crazy, and the water in the river always smelled bad." Ying Bai said worriedly .

"Yingbai, we have to leave here, the sooner the better, the volcano may erupt at any time, when the magma flows down, the earthquake shakes the mountain, we will be buried here!"

"Then I'll go get some more food, I'll go now!" After Yingbai finished speaking, he immediately walked out.

"Wait! Yingbai, now is not the time to rush for food. Tell me, are there any big animals in this forest that can be tamed and used as camels?" Li Mo asked.

Yingbai thought for a while and shook his head.

"There are many big animals here, but they are ferocious. I tried to domesticate them before, but none of them were successful."

"Takashiro, let's make an automatic truck!"

"What is an automatic truck?" Yingbai scratched his head, with such a cute and cute look, Li Mo couldn't wait to go up and stuff him into his arms and rub him.

"We're doing it now so we can go with more stuff and move faster."

What Li Mo wants to do is to build a bicycle improved version of the truck.When Li Mo was a child, there were many such one-person tricycles in his hometown, which were convenient and fast, and could carry people and goods.Li Mo wanted to change it into a car powered by two people, and at the same time increase the space for carrying things at the back.

Just do it, Li Mo and Ying Bai began to look for good, light and strong trees outside, Li Mo came to explain, and Ying Bai did it.Yingbai's comprehension ability is very high, Li Mo occasionally speaks, and he can still give some advice, Li Mo feels that it is really a good teammate to survive.

At the front of the car, Li Mo made it a connected tandem bicycle, adding a wooden arc to the wheel to ensure the safety of the wheel, and then the rectangular space part in the second half, Li Mo asked Ying Bai to make it I made a rectangle with a width of 1.5 meters and a width of [-] meters, and then inserted wooden sticks by splicing, and then used a large long arc-shaped semi-circular cover as the roof. If it rains, the two people will not get wet, and the rear wheels are also made a little bigger than the front wheels.

Then in the hollowed-out part, Li Mo sewed some waterproof animal skins into a large cloth, which was used as a cover for the car. Li Mo also made two curtains behind the front of the car to wrap the rear of the car to prevent things from being scattered.

It took Li Mo and Ying Bai four days to complete this work, and a beautiful "bicycle for two" was completed. Looking at the sturdy wooden bike, Li Mo was very happy.

In order to meet more emergencies, Li Mo asked Ying Bai to fetch some animal skins that could be blown up, and made three large animal skin balloons filled with air, in case of encountering river water.

Next, it's time to keep preparing food, and Li Mo is not idle, and follows Ying Bai to pick a lot of fruits that can produce salt, and pickle the meat of the hunted animals.

There were some large animal intestines. Enduring the disgusting stench, Li Mo also washed them, filled them with minced meat that was simply marinated, made them into sausages, and dried them in the air, while the rest of the meat was dried.Li Mo was always walking around, and found a small piece of white radish, and told Yingbai to take it all away. He took two-thirds of the radish, then cut the radish into small strips, and salted it. , and then dried it in the sun, without a jar, it drove Li Mo crazy. In the end, Yingbai made a big wooden jar, put clean reeds in the jar, and then put the dried radish in it.

When Yingbai went hunting, Li Mo was in the cave, drying salt and making wooden barrels. The wooden barrels were made in the shape of large wine barrels, with only a small opening in the top, filled with dissolved clean snow water, and then Block it with a cork, now the water in the river has a bad smell, Li Mo firmly does not allow Ying Bai to drink that water anymore.

For nearly eleven days, Yingbai and Li Mo were both very tired, they had to get ready earlier, because they didn't know when the active volcano would erupt.

In the past few days, Li Mo knew that Yingbai was getting distracted seeing more and more food, so she thought about it and sighed.

"You can go if you want."

Yingbai was startled when he heard that.

"Li Mo." Ying Bai felt a little uncomfortable.

"Even if they are cruel to you, that is where you were once fed." Li Mo stopped breaking the fruit.

"Li Mo." Ying Bai choked up a little. He knew that Li Mo was still afraid, but as Li Mo said, no matter how cruel he was, he still couldn't let the rest of the tribe die.

"I'm just going to tell them that I'll be back soon, soon." Ying Baihong said softly to Li Mo.

Just as he was about to go out, Li Mo called him.

"be careful."

Yingbai smiled, feeling much happier in his heart.

Li Mo continued with the work in hand after Ying Bai left.

The sun gradually went down, but Yingbai still didn't come back.Li Mo was a little worried, the sun was setting quickly, and the surroundings were gradually shrouded in darkness, Li Mo was not afraid to run out, she could only use the burning wood to dispel the fear in her heart.

"salsa"

"Yingbai!" Li Mo heard the voice, and immediately ran to the cave, only to see Yingbai dodging in front of the cave, and smiled cautiously when he saw Li Mo.

But Li Mo smelled a faint smell of blood.

"Yingbai, come here!" Li Mo was very angry, there was a faint smell of blood on Yingbai's left shoulder, but Yingbai kept covering it up with animal skins.

"I'm fine, Li Mo, I want to check the car again."

Although Yingbai tried his best to hide it, but was glared fiercely by Li Mo, Yingbai had no choice but to be dragged into the cave by Li Mo.

Carefully took the hot water, removed the animal skin, and saw a bloody hole in the shoulder exposed.Li Mo almost fainted.

"Say! What did they do to you!" Li Mo helped Yingbai apply some herbal medicine tremblingly, and then washed the wound clean.

Yingbai said with a wry smile and passed by.

It turned out that as soon as Yingbai got close to the tribe, the men in the tribe forbade him to enter the tribe. Gao Shan was not welcomed by the tribe, and the people in the tribe dared not speak because of his brutality. But last time when Li Mo escaped, Gao Shan disappeared, and they still classified them as Yingbai.

He kept yelling at Yingbai in his words, telling him to get out of the snow field, and stop talking nonsense here. Yingbai wanted to explain again, but the men in the tribe suddenly raised their spears and shot at Yingbai. Yingbai never thought that the tribe His clansmen would attack him, he lost his mind for a moment, and was stabbed in the shoulder, bleeding profusely, Yingbai had no choice but to run away, and when he returned to the forest, he was afraid that Li Mo would be worried, so he had to treat the wound briefly before returning to the cave.

Li Mo didn't speak, but just helped Yingbai deal with the wound.Then he fetched some radish bone soup for Yingbai to drink.

It was so long that when Yingbai recalled the past, Li Mo said a word.

"If you have the chance, do you still want to go back to that place?"

Yingbai didn't speak, then looked at the bright moonlight outside the cave, and smiled.

"No, I never belonged anywhere. Starting today, I will no longer be."

Li Mo looked at Ying Bai, stirred the spoon in his hand, and took a sip of the soup.

Well, very salty.
