Chapter 12 Grain Storage

Early in the morning, Xu Fei pushed open the big wooden door of his house, and found that the tall trees that were lush and green yesterday had all withered and yellowed overnight.Nagu is now beside him, with a stern expression on his face. In three days, winter will come.

Xu Fei flinched from the cold wind outside the window, turned back and put on an animal skin vest, which made it easier.Looking at the big man, he was still shirtless, Xu Fei felt cold when he saw it, and ordered him to go back and put on a vest.

What Xu Fei made for him was a black leather vest. Although the workmanship was crude, it also had a primitive and rough style, which was just right for Nagu.As for why black is chosen, it is simple and dirt-resistant.

In fact, Nagu is not cold, it is not winter yet, not to mention that in winter he is fighting with all his anger, now with Xu Fei's care, his heart naturally accepts it as sweetly as honey.

Xu Fei prepared several winter clothes for Nagu and himself because it rained a few days ago, and he had nothing to do. He also made two thick fur hats with the fur of long-eared beasts left over from before. Ugly is ugly A little bit, as long as it can keep warm, big men don't care so much.

For the clothes that Xu Fei made for himself, Nagu cherished them very much, putting them away in a basket and hanging them up one by one, fearing that the ground would be stained with moisture and grow green hair.

There are four months of winter here, which was calculated by Xu Fei based on Nagu's description.Compared with December of a year, winter, which accounts for a quarter, is neither long nor short.

Looking at the early winter scene outside the cave, I thought that the temperature should have cooled down last night, but I didn't notice how warm the kang was burning all night.Nagu has known the coldness of winter since he was a child, and how many lives are lost in the cold winter, so he has been actively storing food for the past few days, even when it is raining, he has to go out to hunt some food for the winter when Xu Fei is not paying attention .

It was rare that it didn't rain today, so Xu Fei put a newly made rope ladder, but he forgot to bring in the old one when it rained, and climbed up and down again after a long time, couldn't bear Xu Fei's weight yesterday, so he finally went.Thanks to Nagu's quick response, he jumped into the air to catch Xu Fei, otherwise he would have to lie on the bed for ten days and a half months if he didn't fall half disabled.

Most of the purslane that was moved over half a month ago is already dead. Thanks to Xu Fei taking advantage of the sun a few days ago, he cut a lot of it and dried it for cooking. He only put it in the water when there is no food to eat in winter. burn.The two vegetables I looked for before are gone now.Is the only thing left to eat this whole winter is bacon jerky?Xu Fei felt pain in his butt when he thought about eating jerky for a long time.

Nagu didn't understand why Xu Fei beside him suddenly looked pained, "What's wrong?" Could it be that there is something uncomfortable on his body?It has been raining continuously for the past few days, and the cave is rather cold and humid. Xu Fei has a weak foundation. When winter is over, he will build a house near here, so Xu Fei cannot live in the cave with him.

"It's okay," Xu Fei shook his head. Now he regrets that he didn't ask Nagudo to take him to a distant place to look for it. It's even more difficult to find vegetables in winter.The only consolation is the few jars of jam and vinegar in the cave, and the basket of dried vegetables.

Because of the rumors about the giant python, Nagu didn't take Xu Fei far these days.But there wasn't much prey around here. They searched the land all over the past few days, and all they could catch were small prey, and winter was not the season for captive livestock. Otherwise, Xu Fei could let Nagu catch a few live ones. If the animals are raised and reproduced, they won't have to work so hard in the future.

For food rations, Nagu and Xu Fei still went to a distant place.Otherwise, when winter comes, they are not killed by giant pythons, but starved to death.

Because of the sunshine on this hillside, most of the leaves still retain their green color, Xu Fei even found a few trees with red fruits hanging among them.He asked the big man next to him, and got the answer that he could eat it, so he picked a few of them and saw that the dewy fruits were still hanging, they were very clean and beautiful, Xu Fei didn't pay too much attention to them, and just took a bite.The taste is very crisp, and the taste is somewhat similar to that of apples.Xu Fei handed one to Nagu, and after a few mouthfuls he was busy picking the fruit. Although he hadn't figured out how to store it yet, the food was right in front of him, so how could he let it go.

After Nagu finished eating the fruit, he also helped Xu Fei pick the fruit.Xu Fei wasn't greedy either, he stopped after picking a basket.Nagu took the basket naturally, and seeing Xu Fei's slightly flushed face after a busy meal, he felt more attractive than the red fruit.

This time I went to Dongshan, where there are more prey, and it is far away from the tribe, so I should not encounter people or giant pythons I don't want to see.Xu Fei had already given up on digging traps. Firstly, they only had half a day, and digging traps was too time-consuming; secondly, there were not so many prey here, so it would take a while for something to fall in after digging the traps.With these skills, it is better to hunt by yourself.

There was a movement of grass in his ear, and Nagu threw the "spear" in his hand fiercely. Xu Fei only heard a gust of wind in his ear, and Nagu took the prey he hit to ask him for credit.In terms of hunting, Xu Fei had to admit that the big man was better than himself.

Depressed, Xu Fei dug and dug a stone on the ground, and dug out a small hole in the ground after a long time. Nagu had already killed a lot of prey there.Xu Fei pushed the stone into the soil, and when he pulled it out again, a small piece of "soil bump" came out.Curiously, he pulled out the thing the size of a child's fist, and found that it was actually white inside.

Xu Fei leaned closer and smelled it, and his eyes lit up with an earthy fragrance.Is this really a sweet potato?Although it looks smaller than modern sweet potatoes, the skin color and taste are really similar.If it is really sweet potatoes, then this winter will be much better. If nothing else, this stuff is full, has a long shelf life, and can be used as a staple food.

Nagu watched Xu Fei face a piece of soil, giggling there, yes, giggling!He found out for the first time!Before he was sure, Xu Fei had returned to normal, and it shouldn't be said that he was abnormal.He put the lump of earth aside and dug a hole with stones.

Nagu touched his head, not understanding what happened to him at all.It made him not in the mood to hunt anymore, so he squatted beside Xu Fei.Seeing that the labor force was coming, Xu Fei immediately handed him a stone, and directly gave the command "Dig!"

In this way, the big man also joined the ranks of excavators.With his joining, the efficiency has improved a lot. After a while, a lot of "soil bumps" were piled up next to Xu Fei.Xu Fei found that the more he dug down, the bigger the sweet potatoes became.As long as there is Na Gu here, Xu Fei wove several large baskets with his hands and feet.After several baskets were filled, Xu Fei asked Nagu to stop with satisfaction. "I'll make something delicious for you tonight." Xu Fei looked at the baskets of sweet potatoes and breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Fei planned to dig the rest tomorrow. If he dug too much, he would not be lucky to go back.So, Nagu carried a few well-dressed prey on his shoulders, and carried four baskets of "soil bumps" in his hands. Xu Fei also gritted his teeth and carried three baskets. He refused Nagu's help several times on the way, and staggered home.

As soon as he entered the cave, Xu Fei put down three baskets and spread them on the bed.Nagu felt a little distressed when he looked at him, and when he looked at the prey they brought back together, he felt more joyful in his heart.It seems that since Xu Fei came here, his life has also changed little by little, and it has become better and better.

In the evening, Xu Fei made roasted sweet potatoes for dinner and roasted a rabbit.There is not enough food now, and Nagu didn't dare to eat more, so Xu Fei roasted more sweet potatoes to prevent the big man from being hungry at night.When the sweet potato smelled familiar to Xu Fei, Xu Fei was 100% sure that it was a sweet potato.

Nagu seemed to be very hungry, so he rushed to eat a few roasted sweet potatoes first, and after a while, he felt that there was no problem, so he let Xu Fei eat.Xu Fei didn't understand at first, but later he realized that the big man was testing poison, and his heart suddenly became complicated.

Looking at the easy-to-satisfy back, Xu Fei had complicated eyes.Everyone wants something, no one will be nice to another person for no reason, so what does the big fool want from him?
