——On the platform, Huriga's eyes looked even narrower, a layer of fine sweat beads on his broad forehead, and under the stubble of short hair, blood vessels bulged one by one.
The wine was passed into Huriga's hands, and his generous hands trembled slightly.
"Lao Ping, go back and live a good life. With your skills..." Huriga couldn't continue and exhaled heavily: "Call me later and I will sing to you."
As soon as he raised his head, the hot wine rolled down the throats of his comrades, burning the young hearts.
Zhou Jiping's prayer took an extra long time today. Both Yilin and Anka noticed it, but they didn't understand why.
After finally controlling his emotions, and thinking about the environment he was in now, Zhou Jiping slowly adjusted his attention to the adjustment of breathing. Sakyamuni said: Life only exists in the breath. The inner strength taught by the master is even more important.
Adjustment of breathing: Pay attention to starting from the coarse to the fine, from the fine to the micro, and from the micro to the Tao. The verse says: Every exhalation and inhalation is connected to the divine mechanism, every movement and stillness is connected to nature...
"Father does not agree with you joining the hunting team!" Yilin told Zhou Jiping, who had just finished practicing, the news sent by Zubei.
Nodding, Zhou Jiping looked unusually calm. He knew his position very well. Now that he was ready to accept the arrangements of others, it would be much smoother. What's more, there are still many important things to do now.
For example, recovering from the injury on the middle finger, adjusting one’s mentality to fully enter the state of mind for practicing, and waiting for the visit of Mr. Leopard.
Now Zhou Jiping admired the leopard a little. How did it survive? If it could catch other prey, how could it take the risk of sneaking into the tribe? If it couldn't catch other prey, wouldn't it be living every day these days?
Have to endure the torture of hunger? Captain Dog once said: Whoever can learn to lurk like a cat will definitely be the most qualified soldier.
Slowly, Zhou Jiping has begun to respect this leopard. No matter what, it is an opponent worthy of awe, a prairie life full of spirituality.
Follow your feelings! Thinking about what Captain Dog once said, Zhou Jiping tried to use his sixth sense to sense the existence of the leopard. Before, whenever there was a major change, he would have some strange feelings or be frightened.
Or heart palpitations, it would be great if we could feel the danger more clearly and make use of this feeling. That kind of feeling is always faint and looming. It seems that you can catch it if you raise your hand, but when you reach out your hand, you find that it is just a blur.

But tomorrow, Zhou Jiping has another important thing to do - brush his shoes
When Zhou Jiping was practicing, he figured out the reason why he almost slipped when he was hitting wild boars with stones during the day. It was because his shoes were too dirty and they slipped. This was the reason why he injured his finger.
When Zhou Jiping escaped that day, he was wearing canvas rubber shoes issued by the exploration team. He wore these shoes to guard against the all-pervasive blood-sucking mosquitoes in Africa. But since he escaped, Zhou Jiping has been wearing these shoes without even a change.
, which made the rubber shoes smell so bad that I dare not take them off at night. Even when I practice Zhan Zhuang Kung Fu, the soles of my shoes feel sticky and uncomfortable.
The next morning, Zhou Jiping, who had injured his finger, finished inspecting the camp and did not go to work on the farmland. He told Yilin to help find a basin because he wanted to clean the shoes on his feet.
Erin quickly found a wooden barrel for him. It was really a wooden barrel dug out of a tree stump. It was very heavy and didn't hold much water. She scooped a bucket of water from the canal that passed through the tribe and took it from the bed sheet.
Zhou Jiping tore off a piece of cloth and bandaged the middle finger of his right hand, and then he started to clean his shoes. Unexpectedly, after rubbing it with his left hand for a few times, the shoes turned out to be rotten. This time Zhou Jiping was stupid.
It turned out that Zhou Jiping had waded into water many times while wearing these shoes, and before the shoes were even dry, he ran away on the hot and dry land of Africa. Under the alternation of cold and heat, the canvas and rubber soles had long since peeled off. This time, when they were wet, they completely
Reimbursed
What should I do? Do I have to be barefoot like the tribesmen? Zhou Jiping was worried. These tribesmen have been accustomed to barefoot since they were young. His own bare feet cannot compare with others. The key is to wait until he is running for his life.
What kind of insect snake...
I looked at the shoes in my hand. They were basically useless. What if I took off the soles and tied them on my feet? No, I still can’t prevent mosquitoes. Hey, by the way, why did I forget to buy myself a pair of straw sandals?
In Zhou Jiping's hometown, many poor mountain people know how to knit straw sandals. This kind of thing is low-cost and the materials are everywhere. Although Zhou Jiping has never knitted it himself, he has seen it in the past and is more or less familiar with how to knit straw sandals.
At present, the grass in Africa is slender and strong, which is suitable for weaving straw shoes.
Seeing Zhou Jiping throwing his worn shoes aside in a daze, Yilin kindly came over to help.
Dragging Yilin to the pile of firewood used by the tribe to make fire, Zhou Jiping found the raw materials he needed. Although the swelling in the middle finger of his right hand had gone away, it was still inconvenient. It took him almost an hour to get rid of it.
Under Yilin's curious eyes, Zhou Jiping carefully recalled the method of knitting straw shoes and experimented with it. At noon, the first straw shoe was knitted.
Looking at his work, Zhou Jiping felt a sense of accomplishment that he had accomplished something big and was about to show it off. However, seeing Yilin's expression was one of disappointment and displeasure. He didn't know what was going on and had to stop reading.
Seeing that it was almost time, Zhou Jiping started his own "prayer" ritual again
In the afternoon, Zhou Jiping used the same amount of time to weave three straw sandals and touched the thin soles. Zhou Jiping was a little worried, so he found the discarded shoes and asked Yilin for a knife.
Cut off the soles and stuff them into straw sandals
Yi Lin watched calmly from the side, her unhappy attitude was obvious, and she seemed to have returned to the way she was a few days ago. Why did she offend her? Zhou Jiping was a little surprised, but saw that Yi Lin had already put away the knife, and hurriedly said: "
Erin, I still want to use it.”
"The knife is very precious. If you borrow it for too long, you will get into trouble." Yilin still said with a calm expression, "I have already borrowed it once. If you still want to use it, you have to go and tell me in person."
Is it that serious? Oh, it's just because I'm afraid I'll run away with a weapon, just this broken knife - Zhou Jiping was a little unhappy
Seeing Zhou Jiping's displeasure, Yilin panicked: "There are very few knives in the tribe and they are very precious. If you lose them, you will be whipped."
Seeing her pitiful look, Zhou Jiping couldn't bear it, "Okay, I'll go with you."
Along the way, Yilin seemed to be worried that Zhou Jiping was still angry. She showed a childlike panic and glanced over timidly from time to time.
The place where Yilin brought Zhou Jiping was the butchery where Zhou Jiping saw drying meat yesterday. However, because Didea sent most of the meat away for trading, there was not much meat drying in the butchery this time.
, some processed animal skins were hung on wooden racks to dry, emitting a fishy smell.
