Moreover, the biological chain in nature is the most primitive component. The simple superiors eat the inferiors, and the small fish eat shrimps.
Unlike humans, it can resupply different links in the food chain.
For example, if people want to eat vegetables, they will try to grow vegetables. If they want to eat fish, they can raise fish. If they want to eat geese, they will raise geese.
But grass, fish and geese are not a food chain at all.
Because of this, human beings are more adaptable, and any shortage of the food chain will not ultimately affect the survival of human beings.
will only say that it affects biodiversity.
Bacteria are excluded.
But animals are like this, wolves like to eat sheep, but they will only kill sheep, not raise sheep.
While sheep eat grass, they also don't know how to raise grass.
So the number of sheep and wolves that appear in each environment must be stable. After long-term selection, the number and category that can be accommodated are basically stable.
If there are too many sheep, the grass will be eaten up in advance, and the sheep will become extinct.
There are too many wolves, and there are not enough sheep to eat.
There are too few wolves, and because of the lack of natural competition, the function of sheep will degenerate, and eventually they will also face the end of genocide.
In addition to biodiversity, diversity within races is equally important.
Take the wolf as an example.
Because the **** of Ziwu Ridge is relatively large, the wild animals living in this place have good endurance, and those creatures without endurance must be eliminated because they cannot adapt to the environment.
So the wolf here is the moon wolf.
It's because this guy is especially good at running, fast, tall and fierce, with long legs and good endurance.
And the snow wolf obviously didn't adapt to this environment.
They like to live in colder places, and they don't need such high intensity to hunt to fill their stomachs.
put them here, unless after a long time of evolution and honing,
Evolution and tempering, if not spent, it can only be extinct.
There are also racial struggles between wolves and wolves. In the eyes of humans, they are all wolves, but in the world of wolves, they don't all think so.
Snow Wolf wants to compete with Moon Wolf for territory, it is undoubtedly a dream.
They are not the moon wolf's food at all.
It is estimated that they can only grab downstream food with jackals and honey dogs.
But jackals and honey dogs are relatively united, and there are many groups. If you offend them, you will also get miserable ambitions.
"These two snow wolves won't live long."
Wang Tianxiao sighed, turned around and continued on.
"Why, brother?"
"Go back and tell you slowly, now shut up and save energy, at least we can rest until we find the place where Xiongxiazi Ridge goes up."
"oh."
Wang Tianxin glanced at the wolf, suppressed the curiosity in his heart, and followed closely behind everyone.
It's getting colder.
Everyone walked for more than an hour, but the snow became smaller than before.
Looking around, the whole world is covered with a vast expanse of whiteness, and the four people are also covered with snowflakes. From a distance, it is difficult to distinguish that there are four human beings here without careful attention.
"How long have we been walking?" Wang Tianxiao asked.
Cui Wanshan looked at his watch, "It has been six hours since I came out this morning."
"That is to say, it's past three o'clock now."
"Well, three twenty-seven."
"Look for another half an hour. If we still can't find it, we will rest at the foot of the mountain. The sky in the mountain will be darker earlier than that on the plain. The temperature must be very low tonight. If we happen to meet a wind vent, we can't help it." Settle down and come back again.”
"Well, I thought so too."
Cui Wanshan pushed the luggage behind his back upwards, "It's a little more troublesome to come out this time than I expected. I never thought that the connection between Mengbaling and Xiongxiaziling is actually a cliff."
"Well, it's my fault too. The position I took at the beginning didn't seem to be the one I came here today. I didn't think it was too complicated at the time."
"Let's go, walk for another half an hour."
Cui Wanshan looked ahead and suddenly laughed, "Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I climbed a mountain so strenuously. I think it's quite interesting. I've been staying in the forest farm, looking at those familiar places every day. Almost every inch of the ground, every step Familiar can not be more familiar, I am tired."
"Makes sense."
Wang Tianxin looked at the two elder brothers so energetic from behind, and was embarrassed to say that he was actually very tired.
He turned to look at Liu Yuan, thinking that the old man must feel similar to me.
But Liu Yuan just gave him a resolute look.
It seems to be saying, boy, wait to see my joke, right? I don’t know which of us will get down first.
Well, this old man didn't even admit defeat, and I definitely can't show weakness. It's nothing to be looked down upon by the two big brothers. If Liu Yuan, the old man, also compares with me, then I really have no face.
"Tianxin, are you tired? If you are tired, give me the gun."
"I'm not tired, I'm in good spirits."
"Okay, let's move on."
Wang Tianxiao heard the stubbornness in his younger brother's tone, and smiled, but didn't expose him.
Boys will eventually grow up.
At 4:06 in the afternoon, the **** finally changed from a cliff to a shallow slope.
Faintly see a winding road going up.
Everyone was overjoyed.
After searching hard for a long time, it turned out that the road was hidden here.
"Let's go!"
Wang Tianxin was overjoyed, and was about to rush up the hill, but was pulled back by Wang Tianxiao.
"Why, brother, why don't we go up?"
"I won't go up, let's rest at the bottom of the mountain tonight. Look at the **** of the capital, where to rest. We are exhausted now, and it is difficult to spread even if we find Xiong Xiazi's den. Besides , You forgot what happened last time, beasts have a better vision than us humans at night."
"Yes, Lao Wang is right. Look at the location behind us, which is just three sides away from the wind. It is a mountain nest, which is most suitable for pitching a tent. Let's rest here today." Cui Wanshan had the same opinion as Wang Tianxiao.
"But it's not dark yet, it's only past four o'clock, and there's still an hour before it gets dark."
"Silly boy, I didn't tell you that the sky in the mountains is different from that on the plain, and it's easier to get dark here. And looking at today and the heavy snow, it's impossible to wait until five o'clock. It's probably too dark to see at around four thirty." What's the matter. You have a lot to learn from them, use your brain more, don't ask everything."
Liu Yuan seized the opportunity and expressed appropriate contempt for Wang Tianxin.
"As long as you know a lot, I didn't see what you said, who wouldn't be an afterthought."
"I'm an afterthought. I just didn't say it. When I was begging for a living in the mountains, you babies weren't even born yet."
"Bragging again!"
"Why are you starting again?"
Wang Tianxiao persuaded the two with a wry smile, "Didn't you two have a good relationship before, when did you become so **** for tat?"
"I will have a good relationship with a brat?"
"I'm not with the old man yet, just kidding."
"Okay, okay, if you don't get along, you won't get along, then let's prepare for the night."
Cui Wanshan didn't think what happened to these two people like Wang Tianxiao, but found it very interesting.
He is an outsider, you can tell, the old and the young don't look at the chattering non-stop, but the relationship is good.
Several times, he turned his head to look at the situation of the team behind, and found that Liu Yuan always tried his best to be half a body behind Wang Tianxin, seemingly careless, but in fact he was carefully protecting Wang Tianxin to prevent him from falling down the hillside.
If you bicker, just bicker, and give everyone some energy.
If you don't walk lifelessly all the time, you will be lonely.
"Come on, let's set up a tent first. Tianxin, haven't you always wanted to learn the skills of living in the mountains, so come and try and start by setting up a tent."
"Should I come?" Wang Tianxin looked at the tent on Cui Wanshan's back. It was such a big bag that he had never done it before.
"You come to build, I will teach you, watching others do things, you will never be able to really master. No matter what, you can only deepen your impression by doing it yourself."
"Okay, I'll learn how to pitch a tent."
"Old Wang, you and Uncle Liu are responsible for living and cooking. Be careful to block the flames so that the fire cannot fly out. Don't look like it's snowing, but there are dry trees all over the mountains and plains. Once ignited, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Well, I know."
Wang Tianxiao stuck the gun on the ground beside him, and helped take the things off Liu Yuan's back.
When I moved it, I realized that the weight was not too light. I couldn't help but glance at Liu Yuan. This old man is really not bragging. If I put this weight on myself, I will definitely not be able to carry it so far.
"Uncle Liu, don't tell me it's so heavy, I'll help you."
The things were prepared by Cui Wanshan, and Wang Tianxiao didn't know it was so heavy, so he felt a little embarrassed that he was a young man who only carried a small amount of things.
"The division of labor is different. You are responsible for keeping an eye on the environment and ensuring our safety. If you use a gun well, you must ensure enough physical strength. You can't use it without unnecessary consumption, or you won't lose the accuracy of the gun. This thing is still under pressure. Don't let me down, I think back then..."
"Old man, are you going to brag about the things you did back then?"
"I said what's wrong, isn't it true, you little bastard, if you don't talk, you can suffocate to death."
"You brag, don't let people say it."
Wang Tianxiao hurriedly said to Liu Yuan, "Uncle Liu, let's start a fire. Don't argue with that bastard. He's just a child. He cares about lowering your status."
"Look, they were all born by the same mother. There is such a big gap between people. I just like to listen to you. Unlike some people, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up after riding a horse for the rest of my life."
"You still say you..."
"Okay, Tianxin, hurry up and set up your tent. Didn't you say you set it up? From what I can see, it's Lao Cui who is doing it. If you want people not to talk about you, you have to do things, not just to show your prestige .No matter how good you say it, if you don’t have real skills, it’s useless.”
"Hmph, for my brother's sake, I don't care about you."
Wang Tianxin honestly cooperated with Cui Wanshan to set up the tent.
He prepared some dry firewood in his backpack, but there were not many, so he asked Mr. Liu Yuan to make fire, and he collected some dry branches from nearby trees.
After taking it over, Liu Yuan said it was almost done.
But thinking about what happened last time, Wang Tianxiao decided to do a little more, in case something goes wrong, there will be no firewood to burn, and something big will happen.
He picked up another large bundle of firewood and placed a small pile of firewood before he was satisfied.
Be prepared.
Over there, two people managed to set up the tent.
Wang Tianxiao saw Cui Wanshan panting, and secretly laughed in his heart. Presumably Cui Wanshan must be thinking that if I was alone, I wouldn’t be so tired.
Living in the mountains and camping in a tent is not the kind of camping that ordinary people imagine.
The tents in the mountains should be bigger and stronger, and they will be rainproof and windproof, and they can even prevent wild animals from entering for a short time.
It does take some work.
If there is no one to teach, it will undoubtedly be even more difficult to set up the tent from the beginning.
Among other things, inserting all the piles into the ground requires some strength and skill. If a pile is not inserted at the right angle, the construction may not be successful.
After the construction is completed, three layers of thick plastic paper will be laid on the ground to completely isolate the moisture, and three layers of tarpaulins will be laid on the plastic paper for waterproofing, and then the mattress will be up.
Similarly, there is a larger tarpaulin on the outside of the tent, which wraps the entire tent inside to ensure that no wind and rain will come in and wet the tent.
After increasing the number of layers in this way, even if the tent is still not very warm, at least it can provide people with a place to rest temporarily in the wild, so as not to freeze to death in the wilderness.
When everything was ready, Wang Tianxin threw himself on the bedding in the tent, too tired to move.
"Are you tired?" Cui Wanshan asked with a smile while tying the tent straps on the side.
"It's really tiring." Wang Tianxin's mouth is not hard anymore.
"Now I understand why your brother told you to save your energy. You have to know that walking in the mountains is not just about shooting wild animals with guns as you imagined. If you want to deal with wild beasts, you must first ensure that you are alive."
"Well, I see."
“It’s good to understand, people accumulate experience slowly.”
Cui Wanshan nodded. He saw that Wang Tianxin seemed to see a familiar figure, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with Wang Tianxin.
Young people, if they are all mature like adults, wouldn’t it be too boring.
As long as you guide well, you will succeed.
"You have to remember that if you really want to eat in the mountains in the future, you must leave a retreat for you at any time. Hunting is sometimes like a war. The purpose of us and our prey is to survive.
You are going to kill others, so don't try to fight us. We must be able to attack when we advance, and defend when we retreat, and we must be prepared for a protracted war.
In fact, it is a matter of physical strength. If you dislike it, then you still don’t understand why your brother and Uncle Liu let you save your strength. Now look at it, you are so tired and out of breath after setting up a tent, so what if the wild beasts suddenly attack you now? How to deal with it?
In panic, even if you have a gun, you may not be able to shoot accurately. The gun weighs more than ten kilograms. If you hold it in your hand and have no physical strength, you will not be able to shoot the wild beast accurately.
Beasts explode very fast, maybe if you miss one or two shots, you will never have a chance to shoot again. Your brother must have told you this point, you must understand from the bottom of your heart, why we have to tell you repeatedly, it is because this is a real fight, not a game. "
"Well, I understand, Brother Cui."
"Do you really understand?"
"I really understand."
"That's good. After going up the mountain tomorrow, don't do unnecessary things..." Cui Wanshan lowered his voice and said softly, "Take good care of Uncle Liu. Look at his age, but he is more useful than you are now. Can you It can’t be compared. And ah, taking care of and respecting those who are older than us is what a man should really have.”
Wang Tianxin saw Liu Yuan who was boiling water with Wang Tianxiao through the mouth of the tent, and smiled slightly, "I know, I just play with him."
"I know."
Cui Wanshan nodded, "I knew from the beginning that you are a sensible child, but you still have to learn more from your brother and see how he does things. Having him as an example to imitate is enough for you to learn for a lifetime."
Wang Tianxin smiled, "I know my brother is very good, but I don't have to imitate him. I am me and he is him. I must have my own way. It's just that I know what is good about my brother."
"Well, it's true..."
"Old Cui, Tianxin, do you want to come out to enjoy the fire?"
Outside, Wang Tianxiao had already built a fire near the tent and started roasting meat on it.
This time I came out with more preparations than the last time. Not only did I bring meat and vegetables, but also various seasonings. I put the meat on the fire and roasted it, and then sprinkled some seasoning powder on it, and it soon gave off a tempting smell. Human scent.
"Let's go out and play together."
"Um."
The two also ran out of the tent.
The four of them squatted by the fire, watching the roasted meat tumbling over the flames while enjoying the fire.
From the morning until now, I ate some pancakes at noon, which was not enough to make up for the lost physical strength. Now smelling the delicious meat, everyone feels hungry, and they can't wait to fill their stomachs with meat immediately and feast on it.
Like magic, Liu Yuan took out a small jug from behind, lifted the lid, Meimei took a sip first, and burped in satisfaction.
Wang Tianxin saw that he was about to make a joke, but remembered what Cui Wanshan had just said, so he held back.
He subconsciously looked at his brother, and found that he was smiling gently under the firelight.
Watch the roast carefully so that the meat does not get burnt.
He seemed to understand what Cui Wanshan meant.
The same thing, how did my brother solve it when he saw it, how did he deal with it, and how did he do it himself?
My brother is only about ten years older than me, but he is already very mature. He is very thoughtful about everything and does it well.
If I can live another ten years, I can really catch up with this calmness.
It feels hard.
Brother is like a mountain in front of him. Even if he wants to look through it, he can't find where to start.
I can only sigh repeatedly, it’s amazing.
"Tianxin, do you want to try?"
Wang Tianxiao pointed to the barbecue on the fire, interrupting Wang Tianxin's thinking.
"me?"
"That's right, it's not difficult. It's so-called doing it yourself to have enough food and clothing. You should also try the meat roasted by yourself, maybe it will be more delicious."
"Okay, then I'll try."
Wang Tianxin also took out four skewers of barbecued meat from the plastic bag, and was about to apply the seasoning. Wang Tianxiao hurriedly said: "Don't apply it first, wait until it is slightly roasted, and then apply it after the oil comes out. The taste will penetrate in more easily. Now the outside is frozen. , if you wipe it directly, wouldn’t the seasoning burn easily?”
"Yeah, that seems to be the case."
Wang Tianxin nodded.
"It's just right, these few skewers of mine are almost done. Let's taste one each first. I just picked up a few more. Tianxin, you can just follow my roasting mode. This thing is not difficult, just learn a few more times. .”
Everyone took Wang Tianxiao's skewers, and before they ate them, they smelled a fragrance, put them in their mouths, and were full of praise immediately.
They all said it was delicious.
"Actually, it's mainly because Lili's meat is marinated well. The meat itself is like that, and it's mainly marinated with seasoning."
"Old Wang, you are really very happy. To find a wife like Lili, you really enjoy sleeping secretly."
"Haha, of course."
Wang Tianxiao was never polite when he heard others praise Li Yali. In his eyes, his wife is very good.
It is no problem to bear any compliment.
Unlike some men, their wives do everything well, but when outsiders mention it, they have to be polite and say so.
It is not necessary.
Wang Tianxiao is very humble in other places, but this has always been his pride.
"Come on, look, Tianxin, first put the skewers on the fire for two or three minutes, yes, that's it..."
Wang Tianxin followed suit and gradually became proficient.
"Boy, hurry up and bake, I'm still waiting to eat."
Wang Tianxin rolled his eyes at him, and was about to reply a few words, but finally stopped.
"Wait."
just shouted impatiently.
Liu Yuan was stunned. He didn't wait for the ideal rebuttal, and he was still a little uncomfortable.
"I don't want to eat it if it's not baked well. At least one-tenth of your brother's level, do you hear me?"
"..."
Wang Tianxin endured and endured, so he didn't throw the skewer in his hand into the opponent's face.
It seems that other things are easy to learn.
This is the endurance skill, it is really too difficult to practice.
He remembered what his second brother said before, he must not be soft on those who want to hurt him, but he should be more tolerant and understanding to those around him, the weak people.
Only in this way can people live an easy life and be liked by more people.
Okay, then bear with it!
After eating, Wang Tianxiao put out the fire, and everyone got into the tent.
The tent is big enough to accommodate four people without any problem.
"You sleep on the inside, I sleep on the mouth, I sleep on it, and the sleep is light, in case something comes, I will wake you up and wake up."
Liu Yuan insisted on sleeping on the opening of the tent.
"Uncle Liu, it's windy at the door, it might be too cold. You should sleep in the innermost room, and I'll come and see the door." Wang Tianxiao disagreed. Elderly people are afraid of the cold, so it would be bad if they were frozen.
"It's okay, my body is strong, and I can still support the cold."
"Then... well, then you should sleep outside first, and if it gets cold, just tell me and we will change it back."
"Okay, let's do it."
"We have agreed that if it's really cold, you can't hold on. The purpose of our visit this time is to heal brother Qian Cai's body. If he doesn't heal well and you get frostbite again, it won't be worth it. "
"Don't worry, I'm really not that fragile, but some young people are usually very good at speaking. I don't know if real guns can hold up. This is doubtful. You should pay more attention to him."
Wang Tianxin, who was lying in the middle honestly, became a little unhappy when he heard this.
