Chapter 15 Carlo's inference

When a small flame appeared in the hand of the stone, Carlo's cognition was challenged again. Unexpectedly, there was no need for flint, and the flame would appear on the gadget in the hand of the stone.

In order to prove that he was not dreaming, Carlo curiously stretched out his finger to touch the jumping flame. Naturally, he was immediately burned fiercely and screamed.

With a burst of laughter, the flames began to burn, and the stones began to slowly turn the two blue fish stringed on the grill, talking to Carlo and asking about the world.

When the two fish were roasted, Zixuan began to divide the roasted fish and began to divide them to everyone. Among several people, Xiaoguai and Xiao Taisui are more special. Compared with Xiao Taisui, who can devour everything, Xiaoguai is in a state where he does not need to eat at all, but if he really wants to do that, his body will slowly shrink, because he has no other way to absorb energy besides eating

Xiaoguai has also tried. No matter how much you eat, you can only maintain the energy consumed by the body every day, but eating a small amount of food is also enough energy for the body to consume every day. However, the energy converted into food cannot replace crystal energy.

Carlo is also full of praise for eating the burnt and soft fish. Although the salt sprinkled on the fish is limited and the salt sprinkled on the fish is a little less, the taste is really good. Carlo even thinks it is the best food he has ever eaten.

While chewing the fish, the stone continues his barbecue business. These dry and quiet blue fish that have been washed on the ground cannot be wasted. However, according to Xiaoguai, there are quite a lot of such fish under the water, and nothing has been found to threaten these aquatic animals of blue-skinned fish.

Carlo was eager to find the temple as soon as possible, but the taste of the grilled fish was really good. In addition, he had not found any clue about the temple so far. Looking at the stone and others seemed to have a bamboo look on their faces, Carlo also endured and carefully tasted the unique taste of the grilled fish.

When everyone was fed, the stone also ended the grilled fish business. Everyone began to divide the fish tacitly and handed it to the stone to start smoking the fish. In the fragrance, the moisture in the fish was all smoked into pieces that can be stored for a long time. Carlo didn't need everyone to order it. He obediently found it. Let's have some leaves with larger leaves to help people carefully wrap these smoked fish. In the end, Mo Yu evenly divided these smoked fish fillets into six parts. Naturally, Carlo also had a portion. Everyone was almost divided into more than 30 catties. If you save a little, it would be enough for half a month's ration.

Carlo has no words to describe his mood better than gratitude, but this time, he learned how to smoke dried fish. After asking the stone, Carlo was excited when he learned that animal meat could also be smoked.

For a long time, hunters living in this world have been using coarse salt from seawater to marinate meat. Although this can keep food for a longer time, it is accompanied by a very salty taste, and they can't swallow it without repeated soaking water. But the smoking method of stone and others does not require salt at all. The smoked dried meat not only lasts, but also tastes almost unchanged. For Carlo, who lives in this world, this is an innovation. In the future, in the forest, he will no longer watch the animal meat that can't be taken away for a while. If it's wasted, you can go further.

There is only one sentence about why smoked food is preserved for a long time. Meat and other things lose moisture after being smoked, which is the reason why the food is corrupt.

For the deeper reasons, Stone does not want to explain more. It is enough to say some simple and easy-to-understand truths to Carlo.

Seeing that everyone took apart the assembled * and put it back into the backpack, Carlo looked at the little boy and said shyly, "Brother, give me your backpack. How can you take these dried fish away?"

The little one smiled and said, "Look!"

Like a trick, Xiaoguai grabbed the dried fish wrapped in leaves on the ground and stuffed it directly into his chest. In Carlo's vision, Xiaoguai's body suddenly blurred, and his hands seemed to penetrate the body directly. However, after the dried fish on the ground disappeared, Xiaoguai's body returned to its original state again. There was no difference before, but vaguely, Carlo felt that the originally thin little obedient body seemed to have become a little stronger.

Carlo sighed for a long time. With these people, he always impacted his cognition again and again.

When everyone had rectified their luggage, Mo Yu suddenly said, "Stone, we haven't taken a good shower one day. It's so sticky and uncomfortable. Let's take a good bath today."

Stone nodded and said, "That's what I mean. Well, let's take a break and let Zixuan go down first."

Mo Yu nodded, immediately called everyone, took a few steps forward, and turned his back to the pool.

Zixuan was not pretentious. She left her backpack and walked to the shore. After a while, she heard the sound of splashing water. With a stroke sound, the sound lasted for a while before she stopped.

The stone looked at Carlo and said, "You said that the temple is the place where your people sacrifice. I want to know what your sacrifices are."

Carlo said, "Sacrifice is the top priority in our clan. In addition to the beginning of spring every year, as long as there is a foreign enemy invasion or encounters some natural disasters, or encounters something that cannot be solved by manpower, the clan will bring sacrifices and sacrificial supplies to the guardian gods under the guidance of the high priest, and dress up gorgeously. After the ceremony, sing and dance in the square in front of the temple, which usually lasts for three days and nights.

nodded and Stone asked, "In this way, don't all the men, women and children of the clan have to participate?"

Carlo nodded and said, "In fact, that's it, but during this period, some soldiers will still be left in the village to protect the safety of the village, so as to prevent people or animals from entering the city. However, these soldiers will take turns to take care of the village, and everyone still has the opportunity to participate in the sacrificial ceremony. ."

Shishi nodded and was about to speak when Zixuan's voice suddenly came from behind: "Let everyone wait for a long time. Now it's your turn to go down."

Shi turned around and saw Zixuan taking care of her long wet hair sideways, which looked like an extraordinary charm.

nodded, and the stone called Mo Yu and others to go to the lake to take a bath, but Xiaoguai and Xiao Taisui stayed on the shore. For them, there was no need for an energetic body at all.

At the call of the stone, Carlo immediately took off his tattered animal skin and jumped into the water. By the time he surfaced again, he had already reached the middle of the pile of rocks.

Stone and Mo Yu looked at each other and said, "I didn't expect that Carlo's water quality was quite good. Let's join in the fun!"

When several people got on the shore to get dressed, Wang Cai jumped on the shore with some unsatisfiedness. The sky suddenly dimmed, and with a sudden cold wind, the temperature suddenly dropped a lot.

Carlo looked at the sky and said, "There will be a storm soon. Come with me quickly and find a place to avoid it!"

Everyone immediately took steps and ran, aiming in the direction of the place where the Carlo people had lived.

When everyone got into a collapsed hut, the rainstorm came, and under the lightning and thunder, nature began to show its violent side.

Looking at the muddy water on the ground in front of his feet, Carlo sighed and said, "It hasn't rained so hard for a long time. This damn weather has changed. Fortunately, we are not in a hurry, otherwise we will not even have a place to stay in the woods.

The stone asked puzzledly, "There is nothing wrong even in the woods. Those big branches and leaves are lush and can just avoid the wind and rain."

Carlo shook his head and said, "In this sudden weather situation, birds and beasts living in the woods are bound to avoid it. If we happen to be in the forest, dragon beasts that have been shocked by thunder and lightning will definitely launch a life-and-death attack on us uninvited guests. If one side falls, these dragon beasts will definitely It won't stop, and in this environment, the wind and rain will cover up all the sounds and movements. Those grass-eating dragon beasts that would not have taken the initiative to attack human beings will also attack us, and then they will be unable to defend against it.

Stone nodded and thought that it was indeed the truth. In addition, the trees that were wet on rainy days would conduct thunder and lightning, which was indeed not complete. Just when it came to dragon beasts, Stone asked curiously: "On the way, we have been in this forest for almost half a month. Except for a few giants we met that day, I haven't seen any living animals. What's going on?

Carlo said, "You should have also found that before you arrived at this ancestral land, the tree species in the forests we walked through were relatively single. Obviously, this was intentional by the ancestors who lived here. It is likely that those places were originally a wasteland, and the dragon beasts did not have the slightest of those metasequoias. They only like trees such as azalea and ginkgo that can provide them with food. In addition, we have walked all the way here. In fact, we are going from high to low, and there will naturally be more dragon beasts, but we have not gone deep into the real native forest. Otherwise, we have never seen dragons for you. For beasts and human beings, it will definitely surprise you!"

Xiaoguai nodded and said, "Only a complete biological chain can be formed in a forest with a wide variety of plants. No wonder we thought it was a little strange before. It turned out that those trees were transplanted by Carlo's ancestors, but the two places are so far apart, and there are large forests nearby. Why do they Doing such a thankless thing?"

The little boy's question immediately brightened Carlo's eyes, and suddenly something flashed in his heart, but he couldn't grasp the inspiration for a moment.

Seeing Carlo's abnormality, the little boy asked, "Carlo, do you remember something?"

Carlo nodded but then shook his head and said disappointedly, "I seemed to remember something just now, but I couldn't grasp the point for a moment."

Xiaoguai thought for a moment and said, "Does it have anything to do with what I said?"

Carlo nodded and said, "Precisely, when I went up the mountain, I saw the conspicuous totem mark on the peak. I always thought it was the reason why my ancestors wanted to signal territory to foreigners, but I thought that such a large piece of metasequoia forest was all transplanted, which was puzzling. Fei What on earth is the purpose of great strength?

Xiaoguai said, "Maybe it is a wasteland, or your ancestors once lived in that wasteland. In order to improve the environment, it is not surprising that they did so, and the forests there look at least more than 300 years, which is very logical."

Carlo shook his head and suddenly asked, "What were they doing when you met those giants before?"

Xiaoguai said, "When we saw them, they entered the previous valley from the direction you came. At that time, they also seemed to be surprised by the sudden appearance of the valley, but when they noticed our presence in the valley, the conflict occurred. It didn't take long for Wang Cai to find you hidden in the attachment. Close."

Carlo nodded and said with a smile, "I understand that the temple must be hidden on that main peak. Since these giants appear in the same direction as me, that is to say, there must be a secret road to the bottom on the main peak, so that these giants can get in front of me."
