The Caveman Made Me Awesome

Chapter 37 The Cellar

As the sun rises, the earth gets hotter and hotter.

Ye Xi found that many poles had been erected in the open space at some point in time, and there were many meat sticks hanging densely row after row.

The clansmen have a wooden barrel in their hands, and they are busy in the middle of the pole from time to time, holding the wooden barrel and hanging the fresh meat skewered in the wooden barrel.

The stench of meat was pungent in the open space.

Ye Xi looked at some dried meat that had been dried for a second time, and had become hard and black, and felt that the cheeks were stiff for a while.

He once saw a man nibble on a piece of jerky that had been sun-dried five times. The jerky was as hard as a stone. After biting for a long time, there was not a single tooth mark on it. In the end, he used a stone knife to split it. Not split.

Cone was busy in the arena, holding hands from time to time. Seeing Ye Xi beside him, he quickly put down the jerky in his hand and ran over: "This place is a little stinky right now, why don't you go for a walk on the mountain, or go back to the cave."

"It's okay, I don't dislike the smell." Ye Xi raised his chin slightly and pointed to the front, "Is this going to dry the meat all at once?"

Cone said with a bitter face: "I can't help it. It's best to dry it all today, otherwise it will be damaged. But even if it is dried into jerky, I'm afraid it won't last long. I have to eat it hard these days."

Ye Xi rubbed his chin and wondered, is there any way to preserve the food? There is so much food in this transaction, it would be great if it could be stored, but unfortunately there is no refrigerator...

Cone waited for a while, and seeing that Ye Xi still looked blank and said nothing, he ran back to the middle of the pole to work.

correct! Ye Xi excitedly clapped his palm, he can dig the cellar!

After thinking of the idea, Ye Xi immediately began to look for the chief everywhere, and finally caught someone on Xiaotu Mountain.

After the two discussed it, the chief immediately made a decision and ordered the soldiers to dig a cellar in the cave immediately.

The soldiers took the lead and chose a place in the cave to immediately dig up the soil.

Living together in one-third of this acre of land, the consequence is that once there is something new and exciting to watch, everyone will come over.

Therefore, when some idle Tushan people heard that there was a way to store food, they wanted to dig a hole called a "cellar" in the cave, and they all came to watch with curiosity.

To Ye Xi's surprise, Mink also came to watch the fun.

Last night, Ye Xi confessed his identity to Diao and released his slave status, letting him choose whether to stay in Tushan or make other arrangements.

At that time, when the pheasant and the cuckoo knew that the mink was coming, they ran over excitedly and saw the mink who had been stabbed with a slave mark on his face and was tortured with scars all over his body. The two immediately hugged each other and cried.

Mink let them cry, and still looked blank.

In the end, as expected by Ye Xi, Mink decided to stay in the Tushan tribe.

The soldiers were digging the soil so fast that they could no longer be seen on the ground, only to see the soil foam flying, and after a while, several large mounds were piled up beside the entrance of the cave.

Soldiers on the ground cleared out the mounds.

About half an hour later, several soldiers climbed up covered in mud.

Seeing that the hole had been dug, Ye Xi instructed others to cut more boards, and put the boards under the sun during the day to expose them to the sun to evaporate all the water. The planks are then laid out in the cellar to isolate the soil.

In the dry season, the sun is blazing, and by the afternoon, the wooden boards exposed to the sun will be dry without a trace of moisture.

Tu Shanren is very efficient. Before dinner, he cleans up all the remaining soil in the cellar and lays down dry wooden boards. A spacious and clean cellar is complete.

"Why can this cellar keep food?" the chief asked Ye Xi curiously.

Until now, the Tushan people no longer doubt the correctness of what Ye Xi said. They believed that even if it seemed a strange method, as long as it was uttered by Ye Xi, it must be correct.

Ye Xi pondered: "...Probably the thermal inertia of the soil?"

The chief was stunned: "Huh?"

Ye Xi laughed and hit haha: "No matter what the reason is,

It works just fine. "

The chief nodded and didn't ask, "How long can it be preserved?"

Ye Xi thought hilariously, now that the cellar has been dug, is it too late to ask this question again.

"I guess it's fine before the rainy season. It's just that fresh meat still has to be dried into jerky, but dried meat doesn't need to be dried again."

Can be put before the rainy season! The chief's eyes brightened, and he instructed the crowd to carry the food into the cellar with even more enthusiasm.

Until the last bit of food was stuffed in, the originally spacious cellar was filled to the brim.

With a bang, the entrance to the cellar was covered with thick stone slabs.

The chief squatted on the ground and touched the slate, smiling contentedly and dreamily.

…………

In the jungle near Tushan.

On a wooden stake half a man's height stood half a basin of clear water.

Over the clear water, there were many birds circling, big and small, all of them covetedly staring at the clear water, flapping their wings and trying to rush down.

Finally, a bird couldn't bear it anymore, and one dived away from the flock and rushed towards the water basin.

ten meters away.

Ye Xi bends the bow to take the arrow, the arm is charged, the bow string is gradually pulled into the shape of a full moon, the thumb pulls the string, the index finger gently lifts the tail of the arrow, and the side head narrows his eyes in the direction of the arrow.

Whoosh!

The sharp arrow whistled forward, like a black light hitting the bird.

The bird was shot through its chest with an arrow, and it fell to the ground without making a sound.

Whoosh!

Another sharp arrow was fired, and a bird fell down.

Although two birds died by the water basin, the number of birds circling in the sky continued unabated, all staring at the water basin eagerly, ready to dive down at any time.

Ye Xi put down his bow and arrow and stepped back ten meters.

Then take the bow again and shoot forward.

Whoosh, after the black light passed, another bird was pierced by an arrow and fell around the basin.

Ye Xi raised his eyebrows unexpectedly. After his eyesight improved, his archery skills improved so much.

Assuming his own limit, Ye Xi took a few steps back, swish, the arrow shot out—the distance was too far, and this time it only hit the wings.

Next, Ye Xi continued to practice his archery according to this distance.

Whoosh, the arrows kept being shot out, and after the arrows were shot, Ye Xi pulled a few from the dead bird and came back.

I don't know how long it has been...

"Ye Xi, you are hiding here, it's time for dinner."

With a trembling of Ye Xi's fingers, the bowstring that was originally full of energy suddenly loosened and let out his energy.

Turning around, it turned out to be a warehouse.

Only then did Ye Xi escape from a state of ecstasy.

Looking at the sky, I found that the sun had already slanted westward, and I had been practicing all afternoon.

"Huo, why are so many dead birds shot by you?"

At this moment, there were fifty or sixty birds shot dead beside the stake, all stacked there.

Cangpan sighed and pinched the wings of a dead bird and looked at it, and found that each bird had a blood hole in it, and the arrows on some birds had not yet been taken off. Obviously, these birds were killed by Ye Xi.

When a few birds were shot, they fell directly into the basin, and the water that was originally clear was now contaminated with blood.

However, even so, there are still many birds in the sky who refuse to leave.

- They are all too dehydrated.

Ye Xi put down his bow and arrow, looked at this scene, and sighed with emotion: "Let's go."

The warehouse didn't think it was dirty, so he picked up all the dead birds on the ground: "These birds are too small to eat."

Ye Xi said indifferently: "It's okay, give it to Jiaojiao and Xiaohua, they like to eat this."

"Are you practicing this for the reserve test?"

"Yeah, there will be an assessment in a month, so it's better to practice one more technique."

"With your current ability, it is very possible to pass." Cangpan glanced at the bow and arrow in Ye Xi's hand, and hesitated, "And your bow and arrow can only kill small things, so don't waste it. The mind has been trained. After you become a warrior, your strength will become great, and it is much better to use a spear to kill prey than a bow and arrow."

The arrows are too thin. For a large animal like dinosaurs here, an arrow like this is basically painless and it means a little blood. So Cangpan felt that even if Ye Xi practiced bow and arrow so hard now, it would be useless in the future.

However, bows and arrows also have benefits that spears can't match. Who said bows and arrows can't shine? Ye Xi smiled and listened without refuting.

Although the soldiers now obey Ye Xiyan in some respects, when it comes to the areas they are good at, they will be stubborn.

They will only believe when the facts are presented to them.

So, let time tell!

The figures of the two gradually disappeared into the jungle.

Above the water basin, the flying birds that had been circling immediately fell a large piece, rushing to bury their heads and drink the water...
