31, Chapter 31

Yang Fan found that she no longer just followed Nick.

In the past, everything she did was related to Nick. When he went hunting, she stayed on the hillside to draw murals, sorted out the collected plants, made clothes, and when he came back, she followed him along.

She lives completely with Nick.

If painting murals is to express feelings and find the meaning of living, then in fact, she didn't know how she could survive when painting murals.

The future is a blank space.

But when she started making weapons and wanted to hold her life in her hands for the first time, it was like a new scenery suddenly appeared in front of her.

She should have done this long ago!

Although she had thought about leaving Nick for herself before, when she thought that, she first assumed that she wanted to leave him, so she had to find food, build a nest, and protect herself.

In fact, even if she doesn’t leave him, she should find food, build a nest, and protect herself!

I don’t know when she made herself rely on Nick, and she hinted that she would be dead when she left Nick!

Look, she has many reasons. This world is very dangerous. She can't run fast, can't climb high, and her claws and teeth are useless. This world is too strange! The winter here is too long!

So, she can only follow Nick, right?

With Nick, what else should she do? With him, there is food, so there is no need to be afraid of danger. She just needs to follow him and she has everything.

So she did nothing.

After that, she gradually separated from Nick and would go to the forest by herself.

Traps are everywhere in the forest.

Yang Fan came here to exercise, and weapons alone were not enough. She also needed to become stronger before using weapons.

In order to exercise her eyesight and reaction ability, she caught pheasants, mountain rats, big-tailed mountain rats and other small animals with bare hands. From the beginning, even if the pheasants were squatting less than one meter away from her, she couldn't see them, so she could quietly lurk one step away from them, and then catch them!

She followed Nick on the hillside and in the forest, not with him on his back, but with him. At first he ran away in a flash, and when she followed her with great difficulty, she found that he was standing in front and waiting for her. Later, she became faster and faster. Although it was impossible for her to run as fast as he did, she never asked him to wait for her again. Because she could find him with the traces he left behind.

There were more and more wounds on her body, her hands, feet, and all over her body. In just a few months, she suffered more injuries than in the past year. But these wounds were more satisfied than the various plants collected and the various instruments beside the cave!

In the past, she seemed to be sitting there, with a world that was only as big as a palm in front of her. The axis of this world was Nick. She made herself a vassal, and she was complacent about losing her hands and feet.

She could still continue to be with Nick, not for survival, but for her own choice. If there were foreign enemies, she would not be able to rely on his protection as before, and she could also help him. If he was in danger, she could save him, instead of just hiding beside him and helpless.

Yang Fan prefers himself now.

Now she went hunting with Nick. Although he still wanted to carry her on her back, she insisted on doing it herself. With him beside her, she would not have to worry about danger. She had to rely on this opportunity to train herself harder.

Over time, she and Nick had a tacit understanding. They often surrounded their prey from both sides, and she was more flexible in the forest than him. Nick was too big, and when the woods were too dense, he could not help but be restrained. At this time, her role became great. So when he was hunting in the forest, Nick was responsible for driving the prey to her and she took action.

On the contrary on the grassland, she used an arrow to push her prey to him.

The two of them joined forces to hunt, dragging their prey home every day, sometimes a wide-browed cow, which is enough for them to eat for several days. She would grill the meat that she couldn't finish for the time being and hang it on a shelf outside the cave.

She could hear sounds farther away, could tell which animal's hoof prints were, remember some habitats that animals were used to, and had a higher success rate in setting traps in those places.

She also patrolled his territory with Nick, and now she can run with him on her own feet and then back to the hillside.

Winter is coming again, and they are preparing to migrate. This time she made preparations in advance, thick sweaters, cloaks, wool hats, knee pads, water bags, and leather bags filled with dried potatoes.

She grabbed an adult wide-breasted cow, which had been tied to the cave for more than two months. The whip, hunger and a collar with Nick's breath had made it accustomed to being tamed. Although she could still run away when she let it go, she also taught Nick to learn to lead it away.

This wild animal has long been accustomed to traveling day and night, and she can bring more things with it.

After Nick pushed down the huge stone they lived in again, they set out.

Because she wanted to rush to Black Rock Mountain, time was very important, so she asked Nick to carry her on her back this time, and asked him to lead her to follow them.

The food she brought gradually finished, and the luggage on the back of the wide-brow cow was getting less and less. Later, she used all the leather bags as water bags. Before the real snow, there was no clean water near Black Rock Mountain. She still remembered that the water she drank last time had a strange bitter taste.

Nick has changed the films on the way, and she has picked up all the films.

When she arrived at Black Stone Mountain, although the mountain was steep, Yang Fan still wanted to rely on her own abilities to see if she could climb up. During this period, she had been practicing climbing trees and her skills were much more flexible than before.

She climbed in front and Nick climbed in back. When he climbed in front, he would help her with his tail. The wide-browed cow wanted to escape when they were climbing the mountain. He seemed to remember that she asked him to grab the rope with the wide-browed cow, and finally drove the cow to the front with his tail.

This time, she could climb with her own ability, so Nick could do something else, such as he could occasionally leave for a short while to catch two preys. There were some small animals on Black Rock Mountain, and now it was winter again, and many animals came here.

Nick sometimes changed direction and finally took her to find the cave where the Nixons spent the winter. They came earlier this year and saw from the entrance they had just begun to gather prey.

There were only more than a hundred Nixons gathered in the cave, with only six animals, and they should be female companions of Nixons. In addition, Yang Fan and the broad-necked cow were only eight. She caught the broad-necked cow and wanted to wait for the Black Stone Mountain to treat it as food, but now she is a little reluctant to leave.

Although the cow still wanted to escape, he did not dare to resist Nick. Even with his elbow, she dared not resist. It has a good foot strength, especially it can help her carry a lot of things.

This year, Yang Fan first dug a cave for storing food in the cave. Nick and the others still used potatoes to trap soil mice like last year. After the hunting in the afternoon, he helped her take the potatoes used to the mountain, and then she used the cow to transport them to the cave one by one.

She also made two huge water tanks and took a few days to bring water from the foot of the mountain to fill the tank. She only needs to replenish it every few days.

She made a simple nest in a corner of the cave, rubbed the fur of the leftover animals of the Nixons with stones and soil and spread it on the ground.
