"Got it, got it."
He Kai made a perfect turn and charged toward a pile of rubble at the edge of the woods.
The group had not tasted even a scrap of meat in two days, and they swallowed involuntarily.
Several men looked at Mo Jin. "Mo Jin, how about we go see if we can find some game?"
Mo Jin smiled bitterly and shook his head. "We can't catch something small like a rabbit, and if it's something bigger, it probably won't be us hunting them—it'll be them hunting us. There are birds, but we don't even have a slingshot."
"Still, we could try raiding a bird's nest."
If they could stay in one place for a long time, they could set a few traps. The problem was that they had to hurry along every day.
"It's so high up. We can't climb that!"
"Why climb so high? What if you fall? I think we should see if there are any fish or shrimp in the water instead!"
"Fish and shrimp aren't that easy to catch either. Besides, there might not even be any."
After that, Mo Jin climbed a tree to see if he could find some wild bird eggs or the like. The others who could not climb trees, or who were afraid of falling, went to the stream to catch fish and shrimp.
There were indeed fish and shrimp, but they were all tiny. Without tools, they could not catch them with their bare hands.
After half a day of work, they only caught a few tiny fish, not even enough for a single bite.
He Kai and Han Feng gathered some stones, then dug up clay from the riverbank and made a simple stove. They placed a relatively thin stone slab on top.
"Mission accomplished!"
