Chapter 30 The journey with two cats, one big and one small (2)
It is definitely a good idea to say that Shang Zhen’s idea of finding that fountain through the big cat.
But then his troubles came.
How can this person have the same living habits as wild animals like lynx?
There should be a source of water in Tiewei Mountain, but he didn't touch any of the puddles, ditches and rivers the day before he left!
He still has a water bag on his body, and there is still half a trace of water inside.
That was what he usually hung on the saddle when he was grazing sheep. When the horse died, the water bag was naturally taken by him.
His water sac is made of cow urine bubbles, and the outer layer is covered with sheepskin.
(Note: cow urine blisters, that is, cow's bladder)
Shang Zhen had seen cow urine bubbles. That thing was really not small, it could be as big as two big men's heads.
But its water sac was only as big as a human head, and Shang Zhen guessed that it was made of the bladder of a dead calf.
But the water merchants dare not drink this little, so they keep it for spare.
God knows when he will find the water source.
Of course, big cats also need to drink water, but who knows how long it takes for them to not drink water?
What should I do if the mother and I could last for ten and a half months?!
Shang Zhen just didn’t know that people would die of thirst if they didn’t drink water for three or four days, but he also knew that they would never last a few days!
However, on the day they were on their "journey", the big cat and kitten drank water.
But when he saw the big cat and the kitten drank, Shang Zhen almost cried.
The first snowfall in the world before yesterday, the temperature was high during the day, and the water on the sun was dry when it was blown by the wind and sun.
And in the shade, there is still some water left.
But what kind of water is that? The shallow layer doesn’t even count the horse’s hoof pit, and the pit is only as big as a fist!
The big cat licks the water with its tongue, licks one place and then licks another place
Shang Zhen was stunned in an instant!
Not to mention whether the water is dirty or not, should I drink water like this?
The small pits that stored water were so small. Seeing that the big cat licked this and then licked that, he suddenly screamed "ah" and rushed to the pit that was as big as a fist, just a flat finger deep.
His shout was so loud that it really scared the big cat!
As a cat, it’s really a jump when you’re scared!
The big cat jumped a little further away with its three legs, and the kitten jumped a few feet away!
At this time, Shang Zhen was really lying in a small puddle and started to "drink".
After drinking three small puddles in a row, Shang Zhen finally got up. Forget it, forget it, even if he was full, he was helpless.
He finally knew how the so-called "wolf child" came into being!
But now Shang Zhen could only follow the big cat and the kitten in the mountains and fields, and the big cat became his guide, and he found that the big cat was walking westward.
Fortunately, the big cat was injured and couldn't walk fast and had never climbed the steep mountain wall. Although it was a bit difficult for Yu Shangzhen, he followed him in the end.
And the two cats, one big and one small, must have adapted to his existence and actually knew to wait for him.
But although this made Shang Zhen feel happy, he also thought that the big cat and kitten were just reluctant to leave the meat they carried!
When I think of the meat merchant I brought, I felt a headache again.
The meat I brought was only twenty or thirty kilograms, but how many days could this person and two beasts eat?
It turns out that I have heard of someone saving a wild beast in the wild in Yukou Village.
In order to repay the kindness, the wild beast would hold a pheasant today and a rabbit tomorrow.
But why didn't this matter fall on me? Why didn't I have such a good life?
Two cats, one big and one small, were rescued, but the big cat was injured, but the kitten quit breastfeeding.
Not only can't repay their kindness to themselves, but they also have to scrape off their horse meat and wolf meat!
But no matter what, he refused to find the legendary Quan!
Shang Zhen and the big cat and kitten walked all day long.
He couldn't remember how many mountains he had walked through.
When he saw the dry shrub under a mountain at dusk, he called the big cat and said, "No matter what, he refused to leave."
He is a shepherd, but he never needs to grazle sheep without touching the ground at home.
But he has a horse to herd the Hu people, so why have he been so tired?
The big cat and kitten walking in front looked back at him, and Shang Zhen also knew that just these two things could understand what he was saying.
But he had a solution. He shook his shoulders and lowered his head and threw down his wolf thighs and horse meat on his shoulders.
As expected, as he had put down his flesh, the big cat and kitten stopped leaving.
It's true that this is the food!
Shang Zhen didn't know whether he was happy or sad, so he looked around to gather the dead branches.
This mountain is very high, and the sunset has been blocked by the mountains.
Shang Zhen picked up enough dead branches in the shadow and raised fire.
As dusk falls, the fragrance of meat spreads out in the mountains again.
Next to the fire was a boy roasting horse meat with cumin. Just beside the boy, two lynxes, one big and one small, were lying next to the boy, and their four eyes emitted a green light under the fire.
In fact, for Yu Shangzhen, it doesn’t matter whether he eats horse meat or not.
But he considered that the big cat liked to eat this flavor and sprinkled it on it.
Of course he hoped that the big cat would get better immediately.
Although it was better, it was just a lame cat, he believed that this big cat could always prey.
In that case, will this strange lame cat who likes to eat cumin barbecue style hold a hare pheasant or something, and then come to find yourself to continue barbecue.
Therefore, you can also take the opportunity to eat it in pieces.
Shang Zhen knew that he was not a hunter. Even if he had such a Hu man's scimitar in his hand, he would never be able to catch up with a rabbit with his short legs!
The night was getting thicker, and Shang Zhen, who had eaten barbecue, finally lay next to the fire.
He looked at the stars in the sky with his arm, but his mind was filled with messy thoughts.
For example, fortunately, this big cat only ate about one pound of meat, and the little cat ate was ignored.
For example, how are Xitang and Nazha doing now? Have they escaped the hunt for Hu people?
For example, where is the legendary spring in the mouth?
For example, I fell asleep tonight, and I don’t know what kind of dreams I would have
Shang Zhen was too sleepy and too tired, so he finally fell asleep.
In his sleep, he didn't notice that there was a strange sound in the distant mountains to the west.
The sound was a bit weird from afar. Sometimes it looked like the "ao" sound that was elongated when the jackal opened its voice and howled, and sometimes it was like the "woof" whimpering sound like a ghost crying and howling.
The little cat was sleeping sweetly beside her mother's belly.
