Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 472 Rainy Season (Two in One)

The best container in the wild is animal fur or stomach pouch, which has sufficient toughness and elasticity, and is a very good choice whether it is for water or other things.

The only problem is that it is not easy to get these things, at least Bi Fang has not even seen any large animals that can be hunted.

Instead, the trees were a better material.

Bi Fang climbed up the big buttocks of a giant tree, cut off a section of the branch with a stone axe, and then slid down the side of the tree, returning to the ground like a slide.

It's just that the butt hurts a bit.

The height of the entire giant tree is unknown, but the underground root system is so huge that it is visible to the naked eye, supporting the huge tree crown like a pyramid. Many northern viewers feel incredible when they see such a giant tree.

This is one of the most unique features of tropical rainforest trees - buttocks.

"In the tropical rainforest, there are a large number of species, so the competition for space and resources is very fierce. Plant roots play the role of absorbing water and nutrients, and are the 'main force' for plants to compete for resources."

"Because the surface soil is fertile, the closer to the ground, the more competition among plant roots."

Bi Fang returned to the ground, found the branch he had just dropped, picked it up and walked towards the camp.

"Because of the fierce competition, the roots of plants grow like an arms race. Whoever is bigger, thicker, and penetrates deeper into the fertile soil will be able to live better."

"In addition, the trees in the tropical rainforest are tall and their weight cannot be underestimated. In order to support the canopy and widen the territory, the trees must be supported by strong root systems."

Many buttresses can even reach a height of more than ten meters and extend more than ten meters wide, forming a huge flank, which is very spectacular. The one that Bi Fang climbed just now is not inferior, and the flank can be used as a slide.

"It is said that some buttresses have an exposed area of ​​more than 500 square meters, which is larger than the area of ​​the tree crown. I don't know if we have such good luck to see it."

【Follow Boss Fang and you can see a lot of things】

[Yeah, I grew up so big, I didn’t even know that the rainforest was so magnificent and dangerous]

[Hey, it's a pity that I don't have Lao Fang's ability, so I can't learn it]

【The club welcomes your registration】

[Here I go to send money. 】

Putting the branch on the ground, Bi Fang spun the stone ax in his hand, held it tightly again, and then swung it down towards the branch.

"When everyone chops, don't let the direction of the force be aimed at your body, try to avoid it as much as possible, even if you are a good hand with a knife, you may stumble on this."

Bi Fang spread his legs apart, stepped on a branch with his toes, and swung the stone ax in his hand towards his crotch, so that even if he let go, he would not hurt himself.

A hole in the rainforest may stink within a few hours and rot in half a day, which is fatal enough.

Bi Fang cut off a few sections of the branch that was originally as thick as a forearm. He picked up a section and sat by the burning bonfire.

"I want to try to make a pair of bowls and chopsticks out of wood, which is convenient for us to eat, and we can also try some richer eating methods, such as steaming. We can quickly make wooden bowls and wooden spoons by using fire. The charcoal fire is put on the wood and the fire is kept under control."

The log in Bi Fang's hand was about 30 centimeters long. He erected the log and then split it in half.

It's a pity that I don't know whether the stone ax is too brittle or the log is too hard, but the first blow didn't avoid it, but it shattered the stone ax a little.

This forced Bi Fang to change his method. He found a sharp piece of stone to use as a wedge. After aiming at it, he hit his back with a big stick and smashed it in. Only then did he successfully split the log in half.

Flipping through the campfire with a stick, he picked out a piece of glowing red charcoal and placed it in the center of the flat surface. Bi Fang carefully blew on the charcoal to let it burn the wood slowly, and soon the charcoal ash circled out and sank toward the bottom. go.

Bi Fang used twigs to control the burning direction of the charcoal fire, which quickly burned into a pit.

"If you find that the burning is too close to the edge or bottom, put some sand or soil in these places, you can stop the charcoal from continuing to burn, and if you want the burning speed to slow down, you can scrape off the charred areas on the surface of the wood."

"If you want to speed up the burning, you can use hollow stems, such as elderberries, reeds or bamboos, or even animal windpipes to blow charcoal fire."

Bi Fang held a cone-shaped stone in his hand, the purpose of which was to control the direction and scrape off the surface.

These stone tools are not found casually on the roadside, but are knocked out of other stones. It is still the old method, the big head is knocked on the small head, so that the work can be facilitated.

In just ten minutes, most of the entire log was burned. Bi Fang poured the charcoal fire back into the campfire, scraped off the surface with an awl, and smoothed it out.

A semicircular bowl appears.

The audience was amazed, but many people scratched their heads.

【Why not just use bamboo, scratching your head.jpg】

【Ah, yes, just split it in half, so it can be used directly. 】

[Did Fang Shen forget?]

【No, isn’t the shack he built still in use?】

[I feel like I forgot, after all, there is no bamboo nearby, laughing]

After a moment of silence, Bi Fang explained: "I'm just showing my skills. After all, not all rainforests have bamboo. Most of the original rainforests are abroad. What I'm looking for is a more universal method."

Oh, so it's not because I forgot.

The audience suddenly realized, and expressed their convincing and convincing reasons. They deserved to be Fang Shen.

Forgetting the unpleasant scene just now, Bi Fang showed the bowl in his hand to everyone. The 30cm log was quite empty, leaving only about one centimeter thick, and the capacity is quite large.

"Once the firing is done, the bowl is ready to use. It would be perfect if you scraped off all the burnt surface and sanded the bowl, so the food in the bowl would taste better. But I don't have that condition."

"The principle of firing a spoon is the same as that of making a bowl. After firing, trim it to a suitable level for holding rice. Using this kind of wooden utensils to hold food will cause some particles to enter the wood, so it is best to use it after each use. Put it on the fire and bake it for easy sterilization."

After doing this, Bi Fang didn't stop.

Instead start making a larger container, a bark box.

"Many species are suitable for making bark containers, such as birch, cedar and elm. Try to use those that have lost or are just about to lose their bark."

"If you must use the bark that's on the tree, don't cut off more than a third of its circumference to make sure the tree is still alive."

"For best results, we first soak the bark in water for a few hours."

The bark basket is relatively easy to make, and can be used to hold many things, such as tools or edible plants. Bi Fang picked a piece of bark beforehand.

The tree is so huge that it takes two or three people to protect it. Therefore, even if it is a third or a quarter, the bark frame made is quite large.

The camp is not far from the stream, and it takes only ten minutes to walk back and forth.

Bi Fang pierced a hole in the bark, dropped it with a rattan stick, and put it directly into the stream. Then he made a detour and returned to the bamboo forest where he met Zhuyeqing at the beginning based on the location he remembered, and found a thick tree. bamboo, cut down.

Cut off three sections along the bamboo joints, go back to the camp and burn two small holes with charcoal fire, empty out the water in the bamboo, and Bi Fang strings them together with ropes, so that it is an airtight container that can hold water.

"Many times, people will use the clear water in the bamboo to replenish water. Although they can do this, if they don't live in the mountains and forests for a long time, it is easy to have stomach problems."

[Why is bamboo used again now? 】

[I still suspect that Fang Shen simply forgot just now, the evidence is overwhelming]

"Just now it was to show off the skills, now it's for the convenience of use." Bi Fang said righteously.

【Ah yes yes yes】

【We believe everything you say】

【hey-hey】

After waiting for the bark to soak, Bi conveniently returned to the bamboo forest.

"Find a bamboo forest in the rainforest. Of course, the easiest food to find is bamboo shoots. It is now June. Although it is a bit late, there are not as many bamboo shoots as in May, but they can still be regarded as spring bamboo shoots. If you can find a few trees, the traps set up earlier If some fish are harvested, we can have a meal today.”

Bi Fang proceeded cautiously in the bamboo forest, he did not forget the Zhuyeqing he met earlier, this thing lives in groups.

I found one on the bamboo, and it is likely that there are a lot of them in this bamboo forest.

In addition to the very similar colors around, Bi Fang moved forward very cautiously, his eyes had to scan several times before he dared to move forward.

Even the audience is not noisy now, because it is really a little scary, just based on Zhuyeqing's mimicry, it is obvious that I am in the dark, and I will be bitten.

In the narrow bamboo forest, many bamboo shoots have sprouted, towering out of the soil, displaying their vitality wantonly.

But are they edible?

The audience wondered why Bi Fang didn't dig.

Because unfortunately, they are not edible.

"Digging bamboo shoots is actually a technical job, and it is not as simple as everyone imagines. The spring bamboo shoots that have not sprouted or just sprouted are the freshest, about two to three centimeters above the ground, and the more spring bamboo shoots, the older and tougher they are. It's totally inedible, so it's not easy to find spring bamboo shoots."

"Pay attention to the soil when digging bamboo shoots. When the soil is soft and slightly raised, there may be new bamboo shoots underneath."

Bi Fang poked around with the stick in his hand: "Experienced people can see that there are bamboo shoots below from the cracks in the soil, especially those with big cracks. If you go down with a hoe, you can't see it. You can't see it until you go down with two hoes." This kind of bamboo shoots are the most delicious when you see them a little bit."

After searching for a long time, Bi Fang really got something. He found a bamboo shoot in a crack that hadn't emerged yet, and immediately squatted down and poked the mud.

"Digging bamboo shoots also requires a certain amount of experience and experience. An experienced person can know the approximate size of the head by looking at it, where it is going, and where it is dug, it can be picked up with a hoe and it will be a whole."

"Inexperienced people may not be able to dig and just pull it out with their hands, but it is difficult for you to pull it out, because even the tenderest bamboo shoots are actually very big, buried deep in the soil. Generally speaking, loess has The place with a certain slope is the easiest to find, and it is also the easiest to dig bamboo shoots."

It's a pity that Bi Fang didn't have a hoe, so he could only dig up the surrounding soil and pull it out with his hands.

"You see that the outcropping of the bamboo shoots is yellow in color, it may have just broken out of the ground and is very tender. If the head is black, it is already very old. If there is only a little bit leaking from the head, don't dig it. It is basically woody. Once it melts, you can't bite it, and you can't digest it."

After spending a long time, Bi Fang finally dug out the bamboo shoots buried deep in the soil, tied them with rattan and tied them to his back.

For the next few hours, he kept repeating this process, and he actually met a Zhuyeqing in the middle, but this time Bi Fang was not very lucky.

It was a very timid poisonous snake, and it quickly slid away before Bi Fang approached, and the audience finally saw how fast Zhuyeqing was jumping in the forest.

It almost disappears after a few flashes. If you don't pay attention, it can completely scare people.

Fortunately, until about three or four in the afternoon, Bi Fang had already dug up eight big bamboo shoots. Even if they peeled off all the skins, they could still eat several meals.

With such a harvest, Bi Fang walked towards the river again. The bark should have been soaked by now. He also checked the traps on the way, but they were empty.

This made Bi Fang's joy of harvesting slightly lowered, and he could only pin his hopes on the fishing ground.

At the water's edge, Bi Fang scooped up the bark, dried it, and rolled it into a bucket, which was as thick as a bucket of pure water and could hold a lot of things. The bottom was wrapped with palm leaves and tied with ropes.

"Because it's bark, if you tie the rope directly, the bark frame will collapse directly, so we find a few branches with particularly good elasticity, and we're done when we support them." Bi Fang explained.

In just over half an hour, Bi Fang made a bark frame, tied a few more canes, and even had shoulder straps, which can be used as a backpack.

Putting all the original bamboo shoots in, there is still a lot of space, and the several bamboo tubes hanging around the waist are also filled with water.

Looking at Bi Fang who already had everything, the audience called 666. Today was a full day, with a lot of bamboo shoots, all kinds of tools, and even a job.

[From scratch, amazing, this is getting more and more sufficient]

[Fang is amazing! 】

[The little prince of the mountain stream gave the anchor spaceship*1]

Following the stream to the river, Bi Fang found the place where the fishing ground had been set up earlier. At this time, the water in the fishing ground was very turbid, brown and muddy.

Bi Fang looked at the fence and found that it was not damaged, indicating that the fishing ground is still valid.

He took a closer look, and found that the muddy water was very calm. Just as Bi Fang was about to insert a stick, suddenly, a fish tail jumped out of the water, causing ripples.

In stock!

Bi Fang was overjoyed, but he didn't act rashly. Instead, he dipped the tip of the spear into the water and stirred it up: "We need to make sure there are no other dangers in the water, such as water snakes."

The water was rippling, and the sharp wooden spear plunged into the water, causing a large splash of water in an instant.

fish!

many fish!

The audience was dumbfounded, there was definitely more than one that just popped up.

At least three or more! And all of them are not small!

With sharp eyes, Bi Fang saw a thick catfish, which was as big as a forearm.

Spotting the moment it jumped up, he stabbed it with a spear, and instantly pierced the catfish.

Stuffing it into the bark box, before Bi Fang continued to fish, the rainforest, which was still in daytime, instantly dimmed.

Bi Fang raised his head in surprise, a drop of water fell on his face.

It's raining.
