It is said that people must have something to hope for in life, whether it is a car, a house, a beautiful woman, or a rich and powerful person, as long as you can see hope, your motivation will be endless.

This was the case for Wang Yang. At this time, he was like a strong man who fell off a cliff and was accidentally dragged by the old pine tree in the sky. He held on tightly and refused to let go.

When everyone saw that he had brought back so many prey, they surrounded him with surprises and whimpered to express their excitement.

Someone had already taken the prey, disembowelled it, and prepared for a feast.

Wang Yang was also unambiguous and pointed at their belts, wanting to change them and bring them nuts.

He was too lazy to peel off the skin and bleed it himself, leaving it to others, as he had more important things to do.

He came to the platform outside the cave, where there were two newly made wooden barrels, and Zhang San was working on the third one.

During this period of time, Zhang San has been doing this in his spare time, and it has probably become some kind of pastime for him.

Fortunately, I didn't stop him before, so I can use it now.

He took a wooden barrel, walked back to the cave, picked up the stone awl and started digging the hole.

After tasting the sweetness today, he planned to make another trap.

Seeing this, Zhang San started to imitate it, watching how Wang Yang did it and chiseling at the same time.

Wang Yang looked at him and thought about whether to keep a complete barrel. After thinking for a long time, he decided not to. It was more important to get more food now.

Anyway, we can do it later.

After working hard for several hours, the two wooden barrels were finally finished, and Wang Yang fell asleep with sweet longing.

Early the next morning, he came to the Bone Forest with the nuts he got yesterday.

Due to carrying problems, he only brought two barrels. After putting down one, he took the other to the fruit forest. After setting up the trap, he returned to the Bone Forest.

Take the other barrel back to the fruit tree with "one" carved on it.

He has explored the left and right sides here, and there are no fruit trees on the left.

There isn't one on the right either, and it's black bear territory.

Naturally, he would not go to the right to provoke the black bear, so he walked to the left.

Although there are no fruit trees on the left, there must be small animals, and a trap can be laid here.

But it was very uncomfortable for him to stay here. There were many snakes and lizards, which made it uncomfortable to look at.

After setting up the ambush, he returned to the cave, took another wooden barrel, went to the fruit tree with "one" engraved on it, and set the trap.

This territory belongs to Smilodon, but Wang Yang is no longer afraid of it, knowing that it cannot climb trees.

After setting up, we returned to the Bone Forest.

He dug out the shallow soil, opened the lid, put the nuts in, and then buried them. He did it very quickly. Including the time he spent before, it had already been an hour since he arrived in the forest.

Within an hour, prey should have taken the bait.

He ran to a dozen fruit trees and found that the barrel cover had been lowered and a small animal was trapped inside.

No nonsense, it was just a bunch of stabs when I opened it, and it turned out to be a civet.

Wang Yang sighed, "This is just a gift for me to eat. I have to accept it."

Putting it on him, he quickly came to the left side of the fruit tree "1" and found that the barrel had its cover down, but there was a big wild cat circling around the barrel.

That wild cat is indeed big enough, comparable to the average lynx, and is very different from a domestic cat. Its hair is very long, both in its mane and its tail. It is worth mentioning that its tail has very long hair.

It looks very big, like a squirrel, dragging a broom.

The overall look is like wearing a thick down jacket.

The color of the hair is very smooth, it is tawny on the back, slowly transitions to yellow, and the hair under the belly transitions to off-white.

Its eyes were very bright and its appearance was cute. Wang Yang couldn't help but think of the Siberian forest cat. In fact, it was probably this type of cat.

When Wang Yang saw it turning twice, he pushed forward with the barrel in an attempt to push the barrel away. He suddenly became very dissatisfied and gave a warning "Woo-Woo".

It paused for a moment, turned its head and glanced at Wang Yang, then immediately jumped to the side and hid.

But Wang Yang always felt that it had not left, and had been watching him in the dark.

He didn't dare to be careless. Who knew whether the big cats these days would attack him like lynxes? He pressed the barrel and slowly retreated to the big tree. Leaning against the big tree, he lowered his head and looked at the contents in the barrel.

prey.

"Chiji~"

This is a small mountain rat with brown fur all over its body. It moves like a running sweet potato, full of joy.

Wang Yang grinned, not to mention how happy he was. His smile ended up killing it.

With two prey, he came to the bottom of the fruit tree "One", where there was also a prey that fell into the trap.

This one is a squirrel.

After getting rid of it sharply, Wang Yang did not dare to stay in the forest for longer. The smell of blood on his body was already very strong. He was afraid of causing bad trouble, so he turned around and ran back to the cave.

The friends were bored when they saw Wang Yang catching three small animals so quickly. They all rushed over with joy and looked at him with bright eyes.

"Don't be greedy, I'll break the legs of anyone who dares to eat!"

Wang Yang beat them hard, then gave them the prey and asked them to go to the stream to clean up the prey.

This work does not require special arrangements, because adults do it every day, and they often participate in it as a game, so no guidance is needed.

Zhang San, on the other hand, actually put down the making of wooden barrels and wanted to process the prey.

Wang Yang directly pulled him back to the wooden barrel, and explained to him how important the wooden barrel was. After pulling him several times, he finally understood and started making the wooden barrel honestly.

After explaining what he had to do, Wang Yang came to the stream, cleaned the bag containing the three prey several times, grabbed some mud and wiped it to remove the smell of blood, and then continued on his way.

But as soon as he reached the mouth of the valley, he stopped again.

His purpose is to make everyone realize that there is not enough food and take the initiative to find more food, instead of racking their brains and working hard to help them.

It helps for a while, but not forever.

If they are not made aware of the lack of food, maybe they can survive this winter and the population will be larger next year? What about the year after that? What about the year after that?

You can't solve everything by yourself.

Thinking of this, he returned to the depths of the cave, took an amount equivalent to the amount obtained this time from the part that belonged to the dried meat, put it in his waist bag, and returned to the Bone Forest.

When he got there, he dug out the thin layer of soil again, put the dried meat into the barrel, covered it, and buried it.

Then he went to various traps to get prey.

On this day, he harvested thirteen small animals, including rabbits, pheasants, civets, moles, mountain rats, and so on.

Adding more and more nuts, he alone got everyone's daily intake.

Of course, this is calculated based on saving money on food.

Based on this calculation, in the next ten days, as long as he is lucky, he will be able to get enough food for ten days. If he works harder in winter, he should be able to get through it.
