Chapter 53 Desperate
The wind and snow were still blowing on the ground that was already covered with snow, and Li Ke was still being hit by the wind and snow. But he was not as relaxed as before. In order to ensure that the woman he was sleeping with would not die here, he had to put his
Part of the life force was released, allowing the other person's breathing to return to normal, and he also wrapped his cloak around the other person's body.
The price of this was that his body temperature began to drop and his abundant physical strength slowly disappeared. But fortunately, now that he knew where this place was, Li Ke walked around several times and found where Udyr had taken him.
That cave. It’s a pity that all the wolf pups disappeared. I don’t know if they can survive in this snowstorm. But the nest their parents made is still there, and there are still a few wolves around the door.
A tree that was not frozen.
"take a break……"
After laying out the straw and placing Cherna on the haystack, Li Ke sat on the ground and felt tired for the first time in a long time. He hadn't eaten for a long time and only had a few mouthfuls of snow. He knew he couldn't go on like this. So.
After taking a few breaths, he carried his two-handed sword on his back and walked to the front of the cave. He pushed aside the snow under the tree and picked up dead branches and leaves on the ground. Then he waited until he felt it was about the same before he looked more carefully.
After selecting, he wielded his two-handed sword and cut off several thick branches.
A two-handed sword is obviously not suitable for this kind of work, but fortunately, the trees at this time have already dried up and are waiting for the next spring to revive again. It is not as difficult for him to cut down as he thought.
After dragging the thick tree trunk back to the cave, and then chopping it into pieces piece by piece, Li Ke piled up the dead branches and leaves he had picked up, took out the tool bag he found from the soldier, and
A flint was taken out from inside. But this kind of thing was obviously a new thing to Li Ke. Even if he reacted later and took some dry hay to use as a fire starter, he finally had to give up this thing. He didn't know how to do it.
Using flint, he tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes and twisted it into a rope.
Li Ke had read books on survival in the wild, so he had some knowledge of how to start a fire through friction, but he never expected that it would be so difficult for humans to make fire in the wild if they knew the method.
To the point where his hands were blistered, the wooden stick he was rubbing could barely emit some smoke, and the bright red color of the flame appeared. Then he roared with surprise...
Went out.
For a moment, he wanted to throw the wooden stick in his hand, but his reason still made him stop this act of venting his anger, and let him learn the lesson, so that when he rubbed the wooden stick out of smoke for the second time,
The fire was successfully lit.
"I finally understand why there are two professions: fire watcher and fire protector. It's really difficult to light a fire using this primitive method."
Looking at the small fire that was burning with flames and smoking continuously, Li Ke carefully placed the chopped firewood below, and then when they were burning, the rookie suddenly realized that there was a fire pit.
Something happened, so he had to quickly move some rocks to other places and surround his own fire. He didn't know what the use of it was, and he couldn't remember it. But whether it was movies, TV series, games, or he
Everyone he met did this, so he had no choice but to do it.
So because of his operations, when he finally boiled the first pot of snow into boiling water, Cherna, who was moved to the fire, coughed a few times, and then woke up from her coma. Likewise.
The thirsty Li Ke looked at her, then at the small pot in his hand that was only enough for one person to drink. He sighed helplessly, poured the boiling water into a horn cup, and handed it to Cherna.
"The water is very hot and has just boiled. I suggest you wait for a while before drinking."
Handing the warm horn cup to this woman whom he had only met a few times, and on the battlefield, Li Ke took the pot and walked outside again, preparing to boil some water for himself. But Qi was so weak
Erna stopped him anyway and looked at Li Ke's strong back with some confusion.
"Why do you want to save me?"
But Li Ke didn't even look back, he just put clean snow into the small pot, but he still answered Cherna's question.
"My breasts are too big to be able to breastfeed."
Cherna obviously didn't believe this answer, but she still couldn't figure out why Li Ke would save her, so she still wanted to ask why.
"But……"
But just when she was about to speak, her daughter who was sleeping beside her woke up because her little hand couldn't find her mother. She started crying loudly, which made her have to stop her doubts and carefully caress her daughter with her other hand.
It was only then that his daughter returned to sleep. At this time, Li Ke brought back a pot of snow and began to boil water for himself. As for eating ice to quench his thirst, Li Ke had never thought about it. This was done when he was full of energy.
There is nothing wrong with doing this. Under extreme conditions, doing so is seeking death.
"There is no answer to this kind of question."
Adding some firewood to the fire, Li Ke looked a little worried at the small amount of firewood, because from the looks of it, it was obvious that this pile of firewood would not last the night, and the tree at the door was not enough for them to burn for too long.
.So finding new fuel is indeed urgent. And food is too. When Li Ke saw the bag of beans that Cherna mentioned, there was not only a handful, but also all kinds of things.
There were all of them. Li Ke even saw a few extremely small potatoes and some roots that he didn't recognize. It was obviously not enough food for one person, let alone two.
An adult and two children.
"So instead of worrying about this, why not tell me where there is a reliable hunting ground nearby so that I can go hunting and not starve to death here."
Looking at Cherna who still had an expression of 'I shouldn't live', Li Ke pointed at her two daughters, causing the former war mother to fall silent.
"There are no prey in the nearby hunting grounds now. There is already a shortage of prey here. This year everyone is desperately searching for food here, so..."
Li Ke tilted his head.
"so?"
"No more. The last prey was snatched away by people from other tribes last week. The only thing left in this jungle is death. Otherwise, I would not turn to our allies for help and ruin the last life of our tribe.
vitality……"
When Cherna said this, her eye circles immediately turned red, and her tears were handed to the horn cup in her hand, causing ripples in the water in the cup.
Li Ke was stunned for a moment because of such desperate information, but he immediately laughed out loud.
"Then it seems we can only eat tree bark, maybe even worse?"
"you……"
Cherna stopped crying because of Li Ke's words, but when she raised her head, what she saw was Li Ke's serious face.
