The torch was gone, and there was no good wood for a stick nearby.
After walking for a while, Mu Qing cut down a small tree more than one meter long, and sharpened one end for temporary self-defense.
"Look this way."
Walking to the river, Muqing squatted down.
The live ball is adjusted to the first-person perspective, so that the audience can see his discovery more clearly.
"Looking at these places, the soil layer has obviously been trampled on."
"The footprints are small, elliptical and long, and the toes and feet are separated in a plum blossom shape."
"It seems that my prediction was right. The animals that were here yesterday were artiodactyla."
"If it's them, then I don't have to worry too much when I walk here during the day."
[Is there a big guy who can explain, what is Artiodactyla? 】
[Because the 3rd and 4th toes are particularly developed and equal in length, the 1st toe is completely degenerated, the 2nd and 5th toes are underdeveloped or absent, because the toes are even in number, and there are sheath-like hooves at the end of the toes, so it is called cloven hoof head. 】
[I originally had a concept, but after being explained by the boss, I feel that I don't understand. 】
[Anyway, it’s cows, sheep, deer and the like. 】
[If you don’t understand, you have to ask, are grass mud horses considered artiodactyls? 】
Mu Qing pulled away some weeds on the ground, and observed carefully for a while.
"I don't know exactly what they are now, so I guess they are deer."
"Judging from the footprints, there should be a family of three who were here yesterday."
"There are obviously some shallow hoof prints here, which should be left by young deer."
There are deer here, and more than one.
Hey.
Mu Qing couldn't help laughing out loud.
【Brother Mu smiles, life and death are unpredictable. 】
[Looking at this expression, I knew the anchor was holding back the water again. 】
[A family of three, a family needs to be neat and tidy. 】
【Brother Mu's smile is so warm, I love it, I love it. 】
"The food reserves on the leeward slope are much richer than I imagined, and they are all big guys."
"In comparison, what kind of fish and mice are not enough to see. If I have time, I will make a few more large traps here."
The hoof prints are easily covered by fallen leaves, so Mu Qing cut an obvious gap in a big tree nearby as a mark.

"Okay, I'm going to continue walking north now."
"The wild plantains have been cut down last time, and I haven't explored any further places."
Adjusting the live ball back to the third perspective, Mu Qing took the basket and continued to move forward.
The road that has not been cleared of weeds is not fast.
It was not until the sun was shining that Muqing found an olive tree.
"Haha, olives are the best."
"Great as a casual snack or as a carbohydrate source."
Muqing put the basket and the sticks cut in the morning, and climbed up the olive tree skillfully.
Excitedly picked one and threw it into his mouth to chew.
[Wow, the olives are delicious, and they quench thirst. 】
[This is really a good thing, especially suitable for people like Brother Mu who eat barbecue every day. 】
[My God, what kind of flavors are these delicious? 】
[What's wrong with saying olives are delicious?Have you eaten your olives? 】
[I bought it once, and threw it away after taking a bite. It's so fucking unpalatable. 】
[There seem to be many kinds of olives, sweet olives are really delicious. 】
"Ah! Ah ah ah!"
"Bah, bah, bah!"
After chewing a few times, Mu Qing frowned, and spat out the olive in his mouth with a ferocious expression.
"Bah, bah, bah, this stuff is actually bitter, the food I ate before was obviously sweet."
"Ah bah, it's too unpalatable."
After drinking all the water, there was no water to rinse his mouth, so Mu Qing could only keep smacking his mouth to speed up the secretion of saliva to dilute the bitter taste in his mouth.
It took a minute or two to recover.
"Hey, I'm so angry."
"I thought I found a treasure, but it turned out to be a bitter olive."
"No, you have to eat if you have the conditions, and you have to eat if you don't have the conditions to create the conditions."
"I'll pick them back first, boil them in a bamboo tube to get a bitter taste, dry them out, and soak them in rice ball nectar."
I vaguely remember that the old woman made candied fruit like this in her previous life.
The sour plums are so delicious after cooking.
The branches of olives are not thick enough to be picked standing up. Mu Qing cut off the branches with a machete and went down to pick them later.
"Fresh olives are small and delicious, and the meat is tender and less astringent."
"Since it is used to make candied fruit, of course the bigger the better."
