Start with hooves

While the wild berries have not completely disappeared, Su Rui stockpiled a batch of dried fruits in advance and used them to make tea to supplement vitamins.

In order to avoid consuming too much nutrition, dried wild boar meat, liver powder and fish should also be mixed and consumed.

It may be because there was not much rain upstream.

The fishing dam in Surui is sometimes good and sometimes bad. Occasionally, some fish can be caught when there is water, but often due to the interruption of flow, nothing is caught.

It is the 27th day.

Even with enough food, negative emotions in his mind still slowly accumulated. The boring, empty daily life surpassed food, clothing, housing and transportation, becoming the biggest enemy that Su Rui had to face.

Fishing or doing manual labor could no longer satisfy him.

Especially in the few hours from dusk to sleep, he really couldn't find any way to kill time and relieve boredom. He even began to think about finding some paper and pen to write a novel or a script himself.

Everything around the camp could not bring him a sense of freshness. It was not until then that Su Rui realized how wonderful the life he originally had was.

Maybe he had lived a comfortable life for too long and almost forgot the hardships of ordinary people's lives. It was really inappropriate for him to stand at the top of the pyramid of human wealth and yet complain about it all day long and feel bored.

When this idea came to mind, Su Rui clearly realized that the effect of this "self-abuse journey" exceeded expectations and brought his mind to a new level.

Look at it from another angle.

If we open a professional company focusing on wilderness survival, we might be able to snatch a lot of orders from psychologists, and throw those with mental problems or drug addicts into the wilderness, completely away from modern human society. They will then be so hungry that they have to work hard for food all day long, and perhaps many problems will be solved.

Due to the lack of wooden nails and ropes, Suri used some simple mortise and tenon structures on his homemade raft.

The raft, which took several days to make, was quite nice, with a piece of driftwood on both sides to balance the hull.

After the oars were ready, Suri pushed the raft into the water with great effort, holding the camera in his hand and said self-deprecatingly:

"I haven't done anything in the past few days except sawing wood. My arms are still shaking a little bit."

"Since I got the wild boar, I've had more time to do some carpentry work in recent days, and now I can finally test the results of my labor."

"Okay, let's go in the water and try. Hopefully, we can catch two more fish. To be honest, I'm tired of fishing and I'm also beginning to feel impatient to stay here. It's just too boring."

Every day feels like a year, and finally the full moon is approaching.

Su Rui has basically achieved his small goal, and he has experienced and felt almost everything he should have. When he starts to feel that living in the wild has become a complete torture, it will be time for him to leave.

Secretary Amanda came over a few days ago and brought some new news.

After acting as an agent and talking to Netflix's CEO Terenzi, she helped Suri secure a salary of $200 million per episode for "Alone in the Wild".

In other words, Su Rui has already earned about 1000 million US dollars. If he can stay until the end, he can continue to earn about 2200 million US dollars. The price is to continue to endure patiently for dozens of days.

The other contestants, for the sake of the $50 prize, were able to persevere for nearly a hundred days.

Suri, who is paid $200 million per week for his work, is not interested in the money. The main reason is that although he is penniless at the moment, as long as he returns to his original pace of life, Suri doesn't even know where to spend his money. Whether buying a luxury house, an office building or a high-priced artwork, it is equivalent to investment, not consumption.

For example, Lanai Island, which was purchased at a high price, has now risen to a market valuation of about 30 billion US dollars. This is mainly because the State of Hawaii passed a commercial and housing plan to develop the "Lanai Town", which made a large piece of land valuable and the income from tourism has increased year by year.

With just over 20 million US dollars, Suri could earn it back by taking two or three hours to hold a concert. It is definitely not enough to continue to buy his time for two more months.

When his small goal of participating in the show was achieved, he looked at his current life with a more leisurely attitude.

Sitting on the raft, Suri rowed leisurely, just quietly enjoying the surrounding scenery.

There was a little otter nearby, lying next to the raft and looking around. Suddenly, it dived into the water with a string of small bubbles coming out of the water. Soon, it was seen biting a two-pound fish and returning to the raft, shaking off the water on its body.

This made Suri particularly speechless.

He quickly picked up the camera, took a picture of the little otter and its prey, and said:
"Hey, I can't believe what just happened, it actually went into the water and caught a fish!"

"To be honest, I was about to give up on my plan to train it to fish, but now it seems that the previous training may have been effective."

"However, it seems a little late now. I may leave here early before the stored food is consumed. Today I am taking the mentality of a tourist to appreciate the scenery around the Great Slave Lake."

"It has nothing to do with whether I can hold on. It's just that it's almost the end of the year and there are still many things waiting for me to deal with. My current plan is to wait until I see the first snow of this year, and then I'll pack up and leave."

Boating on the Great Slave Lake is a relaxing experience.

Su Rui entertained herself by singing Chinese songs such as "Xiaochou", "People Like Me", "A Dream", etc. She only regretted that she didn't have a guitar which affected her performance.

The little otter only caught one fish and after he was full he became too lazy to move.

After rowing on the lake for about two hours, we returned to the campsite and discovered that our home had almost been robbed. We could see a lot of footprints of some kind of animal on the ground in the campsite, and even the outside of the wooden house had been gnawed by something.

After careful observation, Suri felt that it was not a bear or a wolf, but more like a raccoon or a porcupine.

If it were a few days ago, he might have been very excited and wanted to have a feast with the prey that came to his door, but now that he has decided to withdraw from the competition early, there is of course no need to hunt for fun.

Just like the Eskimos back then, they could not survive without whaling, so their actions are understandable.

In modern times, some Eskimos have begun to use advanced tools to continue hunting endangered animals such as narwhals and polar bears under the banner of maintaining traditional customs, and selling narwhal horns and polar bear fur for profit. This is really speechless.

It seems to be one thing, but it is actually two different things.

Facing the camera, Suri only said that when she leaves here, she will leave the remaining food in the wild, hoping that some little guy can spend this winter comfortably.

Suddenly he remembered something and removed the trap he had set earlier.

The weather is getting colder and colder. It won't be long before the Great Slave Lake area starts to snow. (End of this chapter)
