doomsday survival

Chapter 54 After the War
"Brother Jian, why do you say that?" Xia Rou appeared from behind, her face was pale, and she obviously hadn't recovered from the shock just now, "Didn't they almost eat us? The wolf teeth were bitten to death by them Yes, it's the big bad guy!"

Shi Jian looked at Xia Rou who still had lingering fears, was silent for a moment, and then said: "Wolves are the most perfectly evolved mammals in nature. They are smart, brave, tenacious, and united, and they are the qualities that we humans need most in the last days. Although this wolf king," Shi Jian pointed to the still burning corpse of the wolf king on the ground, continued, "it led the crowd to attack us, but I have to admit that its tactics are so perfect that I am amazed. It has made a bow and arrow, so now it has succeeded. In the end, it is brave enough to die with me, which makes me admire its courage even more."

Xia Rou said disapprovingly: "So what, in the end it was Brother Jian who was the best, and burned it to death."

Shi Jian smiled slightly, and said: "That's because we have tools that it doesn't have, otherwise the result would be completely different." After finishing speaking, Shi Jian sighed again, and continued, "No matter what, respecting the enemy is the right thing to do. Only by respecting the enemy can we learn from the enemy their strengths and discover our own shortcomings and correct them.”

Xia Rou nodded half-understood, and Xia Qing joked next to him: "Brother Jian, what have you learned? And found out where we are lacking?"

"That's too much. We need to learn the virtues of wolves I just mentioned." Shi Jian smiled, and said seriously, "As for the shortcomings, first of all, we are small, which is irreparable. Secondly, bow and arrow It’s too labor-intensive, and my accuracy is not high. I have to find a way to get a crossbow, which will save effort and improve the hit. Again, I trust the defense circle a little too much. It is necessary to improve the defense ability. To overcome overconfidence, overconfidence is arrogance. In the end, we can't rely too much on Xiaomeng and them. Langya's death is proof that we still have to rely on ourselves in the end."

Xia Qing didn't expect Shi Jian to think so much, so he couldn't help but lower his head and meditate, reviewing his own shortcomings.After a long time, she raised her head, looked firmly at Shi Jian and said, "Brother Jian, I've decided, I also want to strengthen my training, I don't want to be your burden every time."

Xia Rou followed suit and said, "Me too!"

Shi Jian looked at the two flowery dimples, without flinching, only with perseverance and fearlessness, finally he stretched out his hand and pulled Xia Qing and Xia Rou's hands together, making the three hands hold each other tightly, and said: "Okay! Let's work together to create a future in this last world!"

The eyes of the three met together, extremely hot.After a long time, the three of Shi Jian let go of their hands and looked at each other with a smile full of hope for the future.

The three of them did not go to clean up the chaotic scene, but came to Langya first.Xia Qing saw with his own eyes that Langya was bitten to death by the wolf king, and then saw Langya's corpse with a piece of flesh torn off, tears could no longer be held back, and gushed out like a spring.Xia Rou even rushed forward, hugged Langya in her arms, kept stroking its head, and kept calling Langya's name, hoping that it would come back from the dead.

When Shi Jian thought that Lang Ya had died in order to save himself, his heart was filled with sadness, and the corners of his eyes were moist. Looking at the two sisters who were weeping bitterly, Shi Jian patted their shoulders lightly, and said in a low voice: " Let's let it rest in the ground." After finishing speaking, he went straight to find a pickaxe and went to the side to dig a hole vigorously.

Xia Qing put his arms around his sister, cried and comforted her, and said, "Brother Jian is right, let's let the wolf teeth go to the ground for peace."

Xia Rou choked and said: "Sister, let me stay with Langya for a while, okay?"

Xia Qing nodded and agreed, and went to help Shi Jian dig Langya's grave, and let Xiarou stay with Langya.

Langya was finally buried on the left side of the house. Xia Rou gently put it into the dug grave, fearing that she would wake it up with too much movement, and covered Langya with thick hay, Gai Huan said in a low voice: "This way the Spike won't be cold." Xia Qing couldn't help crying again when he saw his sister's appearance, Shi Jian hugged her lightly in his arms, comforting her in a low voice.In the end, Xia Rou insisted on filling the soil for Langya herself. Shi Jian knew that she and Langya had a strong relationship, so he had no choice but to watch the weak Xia Rou bury Langya alone with tears.

After burying Langya, Shi Jian asked Xia Qing to accompany Xia Rou to the house, while he started to clean up the scene.

This time a total of 43 wolves came, except for the two that were burned to death, there were 41 more. Some wolves were pierced by sharp spikes in the trench, and they were not dead yet. When they saw Shi Jian, they still struggled to attack him. , Shi Jian didn't care about it, anyway, they will die after a while, so it's better to clean up those dead wolves.

After Shi Jian moved the corpses of 41 wolves to the open space in front of the door, Xia Qing, who came out to ask Shi Jian to eat, was shocked by a neat row. escaped from the siege of wolves.

The next step was to skin and shave the wolf, and pull out the teeth. Shi Jian didn't think he was cruel at all.If he had seen someone treat wild wolves like this before, Shi Jian would have condemned them online like everyone else, calling for the protection of wild animals.But what time is it now? This is the end of the world. Don't say that these wolves are coming to attack him, even if they don't come, Shi Jian is hungry and impatient, and he has to deal with them.In the last days, everything is based on survival. As for environmental protection, let's talk about it in a peaceful age.

Xia Qing processed wolf skins, first made them into raw skins and put them in the room to dry before tanning them. The wolf meat is easy. Now it is a big refrigerator in the world of ice and snow, just put it outside.Langgu Shijian chose the thigh bone and kept it for making bone arrowheads. Originally, Shijian had often heard about "Spike Fang Arrow" and thought that Langya could really be used as an arrowhead, but he pulled it out and was disappointed.Although the wolf tooth is sharp and strong, its shape is really not suitable for making an arrow, because it is almost the same up and down, but the whole is an arc. At least Shi Jian has no way to ensure that the wolf tooth becomes a straight arrow.However, with so many wolf bones, a large number of bone arrowheads could be made, and Shi Jian was also very satisfied.Those spikes and stones were not discarded either. In the movie "Spike" Wu Jingpei wore a spike pendant, Shi Jian had always wanted to get one. Now there are hundreds of them. Shi Jian plans to choose a good-looking one. Everyone brings one.

Shi Jian also retrieved all the arrows he shot earlier. Some of the arrows were broken, but most of them only needed to be processed again.After careful comparison, Shi Jian found that bone arrowheads were indeed better than wooden arrowheads, as they could shoot deeper and the arrowheads were much less damaged.Shi Jian planned to replace all the arrows with bone arrows after disposing of the wolf carcasses, but it is a pity that the mountain is covered by heavy snow now, otherwise Shi Jian would want to find some flint to grind the stone arrows, which would definitely be stronger.

We ate wolf meat for dinner. Speaking of which, the taste of wolf meat is almost the same as that of dog meat, but it is more savory.In fact, wolf meat is very nourishing. It is said in "Suixiju Dietary Spectrum": "(Wolf meat) nourishes the five internal organs, protects against wind and cold, warms the stomach, strengthens the yang and fills the marrow. People with yin deficiency and internal heat should not eat it." Shi Jian is not Knowing this, fortunately, the three of them have no yin deficiency and internal heat, but after Shi Jian ate it, he felt that his little brother was a little ready to move, thinking: "It is said that dog meat strengthens yang, so this wolf meat can also strengthen yang?"

However, Shi Jian's concentration is still very strong, and mere wolf meat can do nothing to him. Xia Qing snuggled up to Shi Jian's side that night, and his soft body gave off a faint fragrance, which made Shi Jian keep saying in his heart: "I am Liuxia Hui, I can't take advantage of others....Well, I'm not Liu Xiahui, but there is a child beside me, how can I break it!"

　The second update, all kinds of requests!I recommend Ji Wang's work "The Escape Road to the End of the Illusionary World", it is really good, and I am also watching it.
