Forty-Two, Home Is Gone

It seems that because Ren Xiaosu ate the biscuits, Liu Bu was very dissatisfied with Ren Xiaosu.

But in fact, Ren Xiaosu knew for a long time that Liu Bu's attitude towards him would be just as bad if he didn't eat those biscuits. So Ren Xiaosu already knew whether the team would provide him with food, but he just didn't expect the other party to tear his face so directly.

That's fine, Ren Xiaosu is actually quite relaxed, so he doesn't have to worry about anything.

Ren Xiaosu was mentally prepared for the status quo.

He turned his head and walked towards the forest, but Liu Bu became anxious: "Where are you going? If you run away now, you will never be able to go back to the market town outside the No. 113 barrier!"

If Ren Xiaosu left, they would have wasted their time again today. Without a guide, it would be impossible for them to traverse the woods to find the way to Jingshan.

I have to say that Ren Xiaosu admires this group of people very much. It is still about five days away from Jingshan Mountain. It was fortunate that this group of people got lost early last time, and they finally found their way out. I am afraid they will not be able to get out of the forest.

This is not a matter of wasting a day. These big people who are used to being pampered in the Refuge Barrier don't even realize who's home is now...

Of course, Ren Xiaosu can also understand that people have habitual thinking, and it is not a matter of a day or two for the big men in the refuge barrier to despise the refugees.

Ren Xiaosu turned around and grinned, "I'm going to find something to eat, why are you panicking?"

"I'm not panicking," Liu Bu explained embarrassingly, "I'm reminding you that the guide died here last time. Don't die here inexplicably like him and waste our time."

The last time the guide came here and took them on the wrong way, but after walking forward for several days, everyone felt that the direction was wrong, so they turned back and started again from Yunling. As a result, when the guide went to the river to wash his face in the morning An accident happened.

Just as he was talking, suddenly a staff member said, "There are footprints of wild beasts on the land here!"

Ren Xiaosu frowned, what kind of beast could be here? Few beasts survive on the edge of the forest, and when humans built these refuge barriers, large beasts had long been blocked from the outside of the barrier circle, and few large beasts could directly enter through the protection of the outer circle barriers. Go to Bulwark 113 here.

For example, the wolves that have attacked the factory are very rare.

Everyone leaned over to see what the footprints looked like. The soldiers of the private army were careless. What are they afraid of when they have guns?

As a result, everyone was stunned at first glance. The row of footprints led all the way to the forest, and each footprint was probably the size of half a human head.

Seeing this scene, all the soldiers immediately raised their guns and aimed nervously at the depths of the forest. For some reason, these private troops suddenly felt that even if they had guns, they could not give themselves too much sense of security.

"I haven't seen these footprints when I came last time?" Someone trembled.

"No," someone shook his head.

Ren Xiaosu glanced at the footprints and understood what kind of creature the other party was, and immediately felt relieved.

Then he glanced at the open space where the band was preparing to camp, and suddenly saw that there were some garbage left by the group of people after camping last time, and even a lot of food residues, he suddenly said seriously: "This is a bear , I was attracted by the food scraps you left last time."

Liu Bu questioned: "Nonsense, do you think I haven't seen what a bear's claws look like?"

Ren Xiaosu followed the footprints and walked into the forest. He would not be so kind to tell these bands and private troops everything: "Ahem, it might be a wild boar..."

The group of people behind him just watched Ren Xiaosu enter the forest, as if they were not afraid of the footprints at all.

Not at all afraid of the dangers hidden in the forest.

"This kid is too daring," Liu Bu sucked in a breath of cold air: "Are you dying?"

The soldiers of the private army all put their guns down. What a terrifying beast, it would not be too late to raise their guns when they heard Ren Xiaosu's screams.

The soldiers of these private troops looked as if they were not afraid at all, but the trembling voice just now revealed their strength.

Ren Xiaosu was walking in the forest. In fact, he could see at a glance that it was the footprint of a deer.

And he followed the footprints of the deer because, following such large wild animals in the forest, you can usually find water sources and rivers. Like humans, they need to replenish their body water in time.

Moreover, he also wanted to go to the river to see why the guide died.

According to Liu Bu's description, the guide washed his face in the river, and then his face was bitten by something, and he died on the spot.

Ren Xiaosu secretly said that this guy is really stupid. It is well known that the order of species is evolving, but herbivorous species still eat herbs, and carnivorous species still eat meat. This is common sense.

Like many people in the market town, this guide probably thought that fish survived by eating aquatic plants or something, but Ren Xiaosu read a well-preserved book in Mr. Zhang’s place and said that freshwater fish only eat meat like black fish and catfish. Most of the others are omnivorous, but few are vegetarians only.

If you put such a big piece of meat on your face and put it in people's mouth, can people not eat it?

Ren Xiaosu is fortunate that he understands the power of knowledge, and has been supplementing his knowledge all the time, otherwise he might be like that guide, and he will get the word out of nowhere.

He followed the footprints. The deer are relatively gentle creatures in the forest. If you don't provoke it, you will usually be fine.

At this time, Ren Xiaosu saw something in the shape of sawdust on a tree, which was clearly a mark left by termites after eating. He looked at the root of the tree, and sure enough, there was an abnormal bump of soil covering the root of the tree.

On the way, Ren Xiaosu kicked the soil bag away in surprise three or two times, and the brown termites were crawling quickly inside.

You must know that many people in the market town are malnourished all the year round. Many times they take termites and termite eggs as supplements. Some people can find a termite nest and be happy for several days...

But termites couldn't eat them raw because they were afraid that they would secrete formic acid, and Ren Xiaosu didn't fall to the point where he had to eat this stuff.

The termites were at a loss on the broken ant nest. Before they could figure out why the house collapsed, Ren Xiaosu had already pulled a large leaf and wrapped a small piece of ant nest together with the termites on it.

He tore off a branch and trimmed it a little with a bone knife to make a simple harpoon, ready to catch fish...

Not too far away, Ren Xiaosu turned back again. He took a bone knife and stabbed in the ant nest for a long time. He found the white and plump ant queen, and took them away together...

Termites have suffered extinction. If you don't consider bioethics, it is easy to understand that the home is gone, and the mother is gone...
