A thousand-meter-long cliff, dotted with dwarf trees, swaying stubbornly in the wind, the top of the cliff is flat and open, this is an artificially built platform, a small figure in Luo Yue In the afterglow, sitting lazily on the cliff, his legs dared boldly on the edge of the cliff, shaking unconsciously, seemingly lonely.
This is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man with light wide eyebrows and a pair of slender eyes. He seems to be accustomed to the squint of the surname. As if the knife was axe-cutting, there was a strong taste. Since there was no sincerity, it was a little bit green. However, when you carefully observe his eyes, you will notice a trace of vicissitudes in his eyes.
“This world is so **** perverted! Even the time is different. I do n’t know how long it has been … three years? Or four years? There are only two seasons in this place, the warm season … cold. Season … Alas … I can’t go back … “
The young man sighed, hitting the ground with a hard hammer, and looking at a punch on the cyan rock, he smiled again. He had nothing to be satisfied with this world, except for strength, this Niao (bird) place, there is no Any entertainment, every day to consider in addition to eating, or eating, looking for everything that can fill the stomach, is the meaning of living in this world.
A sharp whistle sounded, and the boy jumped violently, and ran along the top of the cliff. The speed was so fast that he came to the corner of the cliff for a moment. There is a stone fort, which is protruding. At the stone fort of seven or eight meters on the cliff, two big men stand in the small stone fort.
This stone fort is small, long and narrow, protruding from the cliff wall, and the upper part is the fortress roof made of logs. There is a three-meter long and two-meter wide large hole on the ground. You can clearly see a metal shelf under the cliff wall At the entrance of the cave, a giant wheel was installed.
A man with a big beard saw the boy coming in and said, “Ah’Feng, the hunting team is back. Your eyes are good, see if there are any conditions.”
The boy nodded. He reached out to hold the wheel, leaned over and looked down. I saw a few black dots below. His eyes flickered abruptly, and a faint silver awn appeared. The boy said with joy: “They are Uncle Ke I ’m back … Let ’s go go! “
The bearded man stretched out his hand to buckle an iron Ring. When he pulled it hard, a huge hanging basket was released and appeared in the hole below. The two big men began to roll and put the hanging basket down.
The gondola is three meters long, two meters wide, and one meter five meters deep. A rectangular basket is used to pick up people and supplies. It is one of the entrances and exits of Tiger Cliff. There are two roads in Tiger Cliff. To the outside, one is here, and the other is the tunnel of Houbao, but that road is more difficult to walk, so the people in the fort are all in and out with a gondola.
Soon, the gondola was lifted up. There were two big guys sitting in the gondola, and a lot of prey. The teenager glanced and said, “How come it’s all small prey, Uncle Ke, is there no big guy?”
Most of the hanging baskets are hares, pheasants and ducks, and a few rare sheep.
The so-called rare sheep is a specialty here. It is a very small wild sheep. It likes various kinds of spirit grass. Its meat is delicious. It is one of the best delicacy here, but this thing is too small, not much. The meat, a rare sheep, is at most twenty pounds of meat, which is a little more meat than the pheasant and hare.
Uncle Ke laughed and said: “Ah’Feng, not much was hunted this time, hey, but … we killed a buck tooth wild boar, which weighed a few hundred pounds, and the harvest was pretty good, Ah’Feng, come back to my house A pig leg, hehe. “
Ah’Feng nodded and smiled: “Okay, I’ll take Uncle home.”
Huyabao mostly lives as hunters. Their families generally plant some grains and potato chips in the valley. Generally, men do n’t farm. Men have to go hunting. The population of Huyabao is very small, only a thousand people. There are nearly two hundred households, and the Ah’Feng is also one of them. There is also a grandpa and a young girl in the family. The parents left before he occupied the body of the teenager, and they did n’t know where to go.
The past few years have been very difficult. When I first woke up, my little girl was only three years old. She was completely raised by the young boy Ah’Feng. The grandfather was too old to be able to hunt. Ah’Feng started by collecting wild fruits, plus Some hunters are really sad to see the grandfather and the three of them. From time to time, they give away prey to live a hard life. The people here are very simple. The neighbors help each other. If they ca n’t help each other, it is difficult to survive.
However, by the warm season of this year, the teenager Ah’Feng must prepare food for the cold season himself. This is a difficult task for him. Not only will he have to feed himself, but he must also feed his grandfather and little girl.
The Uncle Ke went down again. This time, a buck tooth wild boar with a weight of more than 500 pounds was carried in the hanging basket. The meat of this wild boar is not delicious, and the meat is rough. There is no certain cooking method. This meat is not necessary. It ’s delicious. Of course, the teenager Ah’Feng does n’t care. It ’s good to eat. Since arriving here, he rarely feels that he ’s been full, and the large amount of food makes him extremely helpless. He ca n’t figure out why he is. So edible?
Several hunters and Ah’Feng smiled and carried prey down the road towards the inner castle.
The Tiger Cliff Fort is steep, surrounded by cliffs and cliffs. The depression in the middle is two kilometers square, so there is a piece of land that can be planted. The people of Tiger Cliff Fort live in the caves under the inner cliffs. Each household occupies a rock cave, and there are natural and artificially excavated caves. The extended hut is built with logs. In the warm season, you can live in the wooden house. Once in the cold season, you must enter the cave for winter.
The terrain of the Tiger Cliff Castle is like a flat bowl. The residents live in the bowl. The outer wall of the bowl is the cliff. This is a large natural defense fortress.
So everyone came down from the cliff and soon came to the residential area.
……
Ah’Feng walked towards his home with a wild boar front leg in one hand and two pheasants in one hand.
Soon I came to a house with a wooden fence, this is a small yard with a small size, a hut by the cliff, a little girl saw Ah’Feng came back, and said: “Brother, brother … “ran while shouting.
The weather is starting to get a little bit cold. The little girl puts on the fur jacket and the long hair dances with the run, like a little hair ball rolling over, Ah’Feng laughed: “Do n’t run … slow Slow down … “He said that he crouched down, because he was carrying something in both hands, so he couldn’t hold it.
The little girl rushed into Ah’Feng ’s arms, reached out to hug his neck, Ah’Feng stood up, and the little girl hung on him, grinning: “Brother, who took the meat …”
Ah’Feng gently touched the little girl ’s forehead with her forehead and spoiled: “It is prey from Uncle Ke. Is Grandpa all right?”
The little girl smiled and said with a smile: “Grandpa went to salt and just came back.”
There is a special property in Tiger Cliff Castle, which is salt. There is an underground brine brine mine, which can extract salt brine from the ground. After cooking, it boils out the salt. The quantity is not much, but it is enough for the residents of Tiger Cliff Castle. This is also a big reason why the people of Tiger Cliff Fort can go deep into the mountains to live and own the brine brine mine.
Boiling salt is mostly done by Old Man or women. Basically it is enough to eat. It is difficult to communicate with the outside world. It is a self-sufficient model. Clothing, food and housing are all on their own. This makes Ah’Feng very uncomfortable. Habit, fortunately, after several years of suffering, he has gradually integrated into it.
The little girl was hanging on the neck of Ah’Feng. The two said, laughing and walking into the hut, Ah’Feng said loudly: “Grandfather, I’m back, look! This is the front leg of a buck tooth wild boar given by Uncle Ke. It ’s heavy enough for us to eat for a few days. “
This is a Old Man with a dying wind candle. Sitting on a small wooden pier, with a leather pocket in his hand, he saw the two people coming in, and there was a beam of joy in his eyes, and he coughed: “Okay, Ah’Feng rests for a while, so tired. “
The little girl slipped off Ah’Feng, ran to Old Man, squatted down holding Old Man ’s arm, and said with joy: “Grandfather, Aunt Qing sent a piece of Wild Bull sheet, I received the cave, so big, brother The armor is almost a piece of skin. In a few days, leather armor can be completed, hee hee, Grandfather, I can do it! “She quickly praised my expression, and caused Ah’Feng to laugh. .
“Oh, the little girl is really capable!”
Ah’Feng praised it first.
Old Man gently touched the little girl ’s head and nodded, “Yes, our family Yaoyao is the most capable!”
The little girl suddenly grinning from ear to ear.
The so-called leather armor is that every hunter needs protective armour. The leather armor here has a special shape and is completely made by hand from various animal skins. The lined hard leather armor is made of locally produced Wild Bull leather.
leather armor ’s handwork is extremely complicated. There are dozens of procedures. As early as two years ago, Grandpa began to make a large part of it, which was a little girl ’s handwriting. The grandfather and grandson worked together until recently. , It’s just about to be completed, because it has been missing a piece of Wild Bull hard skin, so it has not been completed.
This set of leather armor is specially prepared for Ah’Feng to go hunting. The hunters of Tiger Cliff Castle, everyone must make a set of leather armor from home before going out to hunt. This is the custom of this place. Once leather armor puts on the body, This means that Ah’Feng can officially go hunting.
leather armor uses a total of three kinds of leather. The innermost layer is a special soft leather. There are countless soybean-sized bubbles inside this leather. It is not only soft and abnormal, but also has excellent cold protection. The middle layer It is the hard skin of Wild Bull, and the outer layer is a fierce beast skin called Nagano Nozomi. Nagano Nozaki has a length of more than one foot. After tanning, it has a very strong surname. When making leather armor, Weave the long hairs on the leather to form patterns, and then use a kind of animal grease to paint and shape, which not only keeps warm, but also has good protection.
