Chapter 1549 Wolf?
As the food became stable, he began to further improve his shelter, intending to expand it and build it more solid.
In fact, how could ordinary people understand the construction structure of a house? They just built it according to their own understanding.
The first thing the young man did was to find wood of suitable thickness and size to be used as the main body of the house.
Although living in the mountains and forests, the trees here are thick and thin, very uneven, and it is very troublesome to find the right one.
So when he goes out, he will pay special attention to the quality of the wood, and if he finds the right one, he will mark it.
On almost the fifth day, he found 6 suitable trees, all of which were about 10cm in diameter, which could support the main body of the shelter, and after cutting them down, he was also able to transport them back to the shelter.
He deliberately picked out a day to cut wood and then transport it back to the shelter. It seemed like a simple task, but it was very difficult to complete it alone, and he had blisters on his shoulders.
But the good news is that the six selected woods are of very high quality, with little difference in thickness, and they are straight.
Use an axe to scrape off the bark on the surface, revealing the moist and shiny trunk inside.
The first thing the young man did was to carbonize it, which is conducive to removing bacteria on the trunk, ensuring its long-term use, and also increasing its beauty.
When the carbonization formed beautiful lines, a smile appeared on his face this year.
Next, he dug 6 pits next to the small cliff next to the camp, with a depth of about 30 cm. This is the result of his best efforts.
After all, it is very troublesome to dig a pit that is too deep without a hoe.
Insert six carbonized wood into the pit, just in three rows, the front and back rows are relatively short, and the middle row is relatively high.
This is the main body of the whole house, high in the middle and low on both sides. After the roof is laid on it, a slope will be formed. At that time, you only need to lay a waterproof cloth, which is a roof that is airtight and can drain water.
The next thing to do is to collect more wood to build the main body of the house.
In the next few days, his daily routine became regular. Every morning when it was just light, he would go out to check the traps and look for food.
He set a lot of traps, but the technique was poor and the success rate was very low. Many times the traps were triggered, but no animals were caught.
This shows that there are still many wild animals here, but the quality of the traps is not high enough, so it is difficult to catch them.
In the afternoon, he began to look for suitable wood, cut it down, and then transported it back to the shelter, and then concentrated on building the shelter.
At night, it was cooking and eating to fill his stomach.
Now he only eats two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the evening.
The evening meal is the staple food, which will take a long time to make wild fruits, pods and starch into cooked food to fill his stomach completely.
By the way, there will be some pods and starch-made food left to fill the next morning.
He will eat some more food the next morning, but in order to prevent hunger in the middle of the journey, he will also leave some starch-made food on his body, similar to flour lumps.
After living like this for about 10 days, the young man had completely adapted to the pace of life here, but an accident happened that night.
Because the new shelter had been built and the main body had been built, the young man would cover the main body of the shelter with a waterproof cloth every night and sleep underneath.
But today, when he was sleeping on the dry grass, he suddenly heard a faint movement next to him, as if something was approaching.
The young man immediately became alert and hurriedly stood up to check. In the end, he actually saw a pair of green eyes staring at him in the dark night.
"Is this... a wolf?!"
Through the firelight, he immediately recognized the identity of the person who came. In an instant, his hair stood up, his head exploded, and he felt cold all over.
But after a moment of panic, reason still took over the fear. He quickly picked up the axe and torch and stared at the wild wolf.
Although he was not good at surviving in the wild, he knew roughly how to face ferocious beasts. The important point was not to run away and not to show fear.
If you are weak in momentum, the wild beast will think you are easy to bully and will attack you actively.
If you run away, humans cannot outrun wild wolves with their speed in the wild, and they will probably be caught up in the end.
And there is another important point, that is, humans are larger than wild beasts. If you show a strong momentum, the wild wolf will be scared away by you.
The young man's eyes widened and he roared angrily: "Get out!"
The howling sound exploded in the dark night, scaring the wild wolf, and it hurriedly took a step back, but still crawled around.
Seeing that it was effective, the young man hurriedly took a step forward with a torch.
He was afraid of wild wolves, but wild wolves were more afraid of torches and axes. Once they attacked the wild wolf, it would be difficult for it to withstand it.
After roaring several times in a row, the young man approached step by step, but the wild wolf still refused to flee. It was obvious that it had been hungry for a long time, so it stimulated its hunting nature.
The young man knew that he had to have a fight today. If he didn't let the wild wolf know that he was not someone to be trifled with, he would surely be annoyed in the future and his peaceful life would be disrupted.
So, the young man moved closer, and when the distance was close enough, the wolf launched a sneak attack and quickly approached.
However, he had already made sufficient preparations. First, he swung the torch directly and hit the wolf's head hard.
However, because he swung it with his left hand, the force was not very strong, just the burning power of the flame was relatively strong.
But immediately afterwards, the axe in his right hand chopped up with great force, and hit his right eye hard.
Suddenly, a wail sounded in the night, blood spurted out, and the wolf hurriedly retreated. This time he was seriously injured.
This was the first time it saw such a strange creature that could hurt it with an unknown weapon. It immediately became alert and kept retreating.
The young man was relentless and rushed forward with a torch and an axe. At this moment, fear was completely suppressed and greed occupied his heart.
If this wolf could be killed, it would be food for several days!
The flesh and blood can be used to satisfy hunger, the fur can be used to make clothes, the blood can be used to drink, and the bones can be used to make weapons. The whole body is a treasure.
