Chapter 128: Running Out of Food

But the five of Su Meng did not return empty-handed. They found some cassava and big yam, and dug them back with roots and soil, preparing to plant them on the reclaimed fields.

Although no animals were hunted during this outing, at least some food that could be used as a staple food was found. Generally speaking, it was not a waste of work.

Back at camp, the sun is teetering in the west and the temperature is gradually starting to drop.

After these days of unremitting efforts, the traps around the camp have been dug in sevens and eights, and it is estimated that it will be completely completed in two days.

Seeing that it was still early, the five of Su Meng began to work again, digging traps, digging traps, transporting clay, cooking, and piling piles, each performing their duties, the picture is beautiful and warm.

The audience in the live broadcast room watched this scene, and some emotional netizens began to take screenshots.

"This picture is too beautiful. Forgive me for my low level of education. I can only say that 007 is awesome."

"I don't know why, but when I saw Daxian, Bai Jing, and Su Xiang digging a hole, I thought of my grandfather?"

"???"

"Daxian: Be yourself (pray)"

"Ah, I'm so envious, it's another day I want to go to the wilderness to join Su Meng's team"

"It's rare that the Su Meng team failed, so I decided to order a takeaway to celebrate. This is what Survival in the Wild should have."

"That's right, I can hunt prey every time, either the show crew feeds it or has the aura of the protagonist"

"Speaking of which, this island is really beautiful. I spent a whole day watching the scenery in Brother Liu Yuan's live broadcast room."

"That's right, nature is really beautiful, and Cao Zhixiang from the Gu Yue team even caught a snake"

"Speaking of which, the 30 days will soon be over. Many players are about to quit. I am a bit reluctant to do what to do."

"But these contestants are really miserable. Maybe they can't even buy vegetables when they come back. After all, a Chinese cabbage can be sold for 500 yuan now, and the supply is limited, which is outrageous."

"..."

At night, on a relatively flat and wide ground in the jungle, two simple shelters were built.

Eight people, Gu Yue and Liu Yuan, were sitting around the firepit, sipping bamboo shoot soup. There were about a dozen pieces of snake meat as long as a thumb in the soup, and there were still some oil stars floating in the soup noodles.

There is not a lot of snake meat, and each person can only get two or three pieces. Because there is no salt and no seasoning to remove the fishy smell, the snake meat tastes woody and fishy, ​​and even the soup becomes difficult to eat, with an earthy smell.

However, Gu Yue, Liu Yuan, Cao Xuyang, Chen Hao, and Cao Zhixiang were quite satisfied with the meal. After all, this meal was a bit oily, and snake meat was considered high-quality protein.

In fact, thinking about not being able to eat such a food full of original flavor in another four days, I was a little bit reluctant for a while, and the snake meat in my mouth seemed not so difficult to swallow.

"Gu Yue, why don't we explore the jungle at night, I heard that there is a kind of mushroom that glows in the jungle." Liu Yuan suddenly became interested, and stared at Gu Yue with sparkling eyes.

"You thought it was Plants vs. Zombies, a glowing mushroom." Gu Yue teased angrily, and then straightened her expression: "The jungle at night is very dangerous. We have gone fishing at night before..."

Thus, Gu Yue began to tell vividly about how he and Cao Xuyang went fishing at night.

On the other side, the rock pile camp.

Su Meng, Su Xiang, Zhang Lin, Bo Jing, and Du Jiayue had just finished dinner and were rubbing rope around the campfire.

The ramie fibers that were air-dried during the day have been slightly whitish, but the overall tone is still yellowish. This is because the ramie fibers have not been well separated due to the omission of retting.

Normally, the processed ramie fibers should be hair-like in strands, gray in color, soft and not lacking in strength.
Seeing that Su Meng straightened out the dried ramie fibers, bound them into a hollow ellipse, and then soaked the bundled ramie fibers in clean water, Du Jiayue's curiosity arose again: "Meng Meng , it’s finally dried in the sun, why do you have to soak it in water to get wet again?”

"Drying is to make the ramie fiber more stable and pure, and it is to be wet to soften the fiber, so that it will not be so strenuous to rub." Su Meng explained patiently.

Although Du Jiayue can weave rope, she doesn't know how to twist hemp rope, so she doesn't know the tricks.

After soaking the ramie fiber balls in clean water for about 5 minutes, Su Meng fished out the ramie fiber balls from the water, wrung out the water, untied the ramie fiber balls, and divided them into small strands.

Then, she picked up three strands of ramie fibers, fixed one end, and then picked up the other end and rubbed it with her hands in the direction of the original winding direction of the ramie fibers. After rubbing for a while, she found the middle point of the rope, pinched it, and then closed the two ends of the rope together. Together, pull the middle point and both ends hard to straighten the rope, and then loosen it, so that the ramie fibers are automatically entangled together.

After a while, a ramie rope as thick as a braid gradually took shape.

"It's quite simple." Bai Jing saw it eagerly, eager to try it.

He picked up a ball of ramie fiber and imitated Su Meng and began to twist the rope. After a while, his face collapsed: "Is this too painful? My palm feels like it's going to burst into flames."

Hearing Bai Jing's complaint, Su Meng chuckled and raised her eyebrows: "Come on, there are five balls of ramie fiber in total, let's each have one ball."

At this moment, Su Xiang and Bo Jing's faces also collapsed, and they began to twist the rope in despondency.

"By the way, I put the soap on the partition in the bathroom, and I can use it when I take a shower, but I need to save a little, after all, we only have that piece."

As soon as Su Meng finished speaking, Su Xiang, Zhang Lin, Bo Jing, and Du Jiayue, who were listless, suddenly became excited. They thought that the soap making had failed, so they never mentioned it, and then forgot about it. , I didn't expect it to be successfully produced.

"Then you didn't say it earlier." Du Jiayue was the most excited, she gave Su Meng a coquettish look, put down the hemp rope in her hand, got up and ran towards the earthen house: "I'm going to get my clothes to take a bath, and don't compete with me for the first place." indivual."

Su Meng shrugged her shoulders, her eyes squinted: "I want to give you a surprise."

Since they found out how to quickly heat hot water, they can take a bath whenever they want, and they no longer have to rush to the small pool to take a bath before the sun goes down.

The next day, after Su Meng and the other five finished practicing their fighting skills as usual, they began to enjoy today's breakfast.

"We'll continue to dig traps today, and then we have to clear the field as soon as possible to plant cassava and cassava." Only a small field was reclaimed yesterday, only enough to grow two or three cassava or cassava plants.

"Okay, let's dig another day today and I think we can finish digging the trap." Zhang Lin swallowed the venison in his mouth, thought for a while and said, "But we still have to find time to go hunting, and there is not much food left."
