Wilderness Survival Live Room

Chapter 3 Avocado
Xiang Qianqian found about 20 vines behind the avocado tree, and the vines fell straight down.Xiang Qianqian put his backpack on the ground, stepped forward and pulled the vine vigorously, it was very strong.

"I should be able to use these vines to climb up." Xiang Qiangqian pulled hard with his hands, stared up with his feet, jumped up a lot, then bent his legs, used his left ankle to hook the tree trunk, and stretched his right foot toward the tree trunk. Go forward and hold down the tree trunk in front of you.Then in this way, you can hang it on the tree man and use your strength to rub it up, rub your feet up, and hug your hands up.

"It's still a short distance away now." Xiang Qianqian rubbed upwards for a certain distance, and came to the place where the branches above were split. There are many branches here. Xiangqian who grew up in the countryside is very flexible Shuttle through the branches, find the location of the avocado, and climb over immediately.

"That's what I'm working hard for." Xiang Qianqian reached out and picked an avocado and made it on a branch, "I'm starving to death. I'm going to start here right now. I really can't wait to climb down and eat it, now adjust Take your place and let me get my knife out."

Xiang Qianqian took out his knife, the avocado is green in appearance, "Avocado is a super food in nature, rich in calories, protein and good fat."

Xiang Qianqian peeled off the skin with a knife, took a big bite, and said inarticulately: "It's really delicious. If I was trapped on an uninhabited island, I would bring avocado and mayonnaise." and chocolate."

"In this jungle, on an avocado tree, tasting delicious avocados is really the happiest moment for me." Xiang Qianqian ate avocados in the avocado tree, as dinner tonight , Xiang made money and still picked two.

"After eating, we are going to go on the road. I want to go to the coast, because people can be found there, and I want to reach the destination as soon as possible. I don't want to spend the night in the rainforest." Xiang Qianqian went down to the ground, put two avocados Put it in your backpack and put away your knife again.

"But I haven't found water yet."

Continuing to move forward, the lush plants once again blocked his path, and the plants here were all extra tall because they grew near the volcano.

"Last year a lost hiker who was stranded on this volcano for 7 days before being rescued survived on water from the moss in the West End. But what I'm looking for is running water, pool water or water on rocks is stagnant water, Standing water is a breeding ground for bacteria and can also be contaminated with animal waste."

After Xiang made money out of the bushes, in front of him was a tunnel.

"I found something that might lead me to find fresh drinking water." The tunnel in front of Xiang Qiangqin was eight meters wide and incalculably long.Xiang Qianqian pointed to the bottom, and then said to the camera: "Look! This is an ancient lava tunnel, from which lava once flowed into the ocean. Hawaii is full of ancient lava tubes, and lava used to flow from volcanoes to the ocean along these underground tunnels. There might be some standing water here. The top of the lava tube used to be under my feet, but it collapsed and created this big hole. That's my entrance, but there's a drop of about 40 feet, and it's a bit dangerous to do, but I've got to make my way down. "

Xiangqin grabbed the trunk, looked down at the situation below, and said: "The books I'm grabbing now are called Oxea trees. They grow along the edge of the cave, and their exposed roots reach the bottom of the cave. They root down to get water. , I should be able to use these roots to climb down, but the tree is full of moss, it is a bit slippery."

Xiang Qiangqian grabbed the roots of the tree on one side with one hand and began to slowly climb down.

"This kind of ancient lava tube is quite dangerous. Recently, an American firefighter fell into a nearby 100-foot-deep lava tube during a search and rescue mission and was lucky to survive." Xiang Qiang continued to shake the tree root vigorously on the tree root.

"The biggest difficulty for you to climb down is to judge which tree roots are dead and which are alive, so you have to do a test like me before putting your whole body weight on it. These tree roots are covered with moss, so that They are very, very slippery. I can hardly hold them now." Xiang Qiangqian grabbed the roots vigorously, but the moss on the roots were broken because of Xiang Qiangqin's strong grabbing, and all the soil inside was scattered. , A lot of soil went into Xiang Qiangqin's mouth, Xiang Qiangqin spit it out quickly.

After a few minutes, Xiang made money and successfully descended to the bottom of the cave.

"Now my mouth is so dry, I'm really thirsty now, but the water I found at the beginning is not drinkable, there is a lot of water in the cave, but the water here is not drinkable, because animals often fall to death from the skylight, I want to go deep Find water inside the lava tube. The water there should be clean, but before I go deep into the lava tube, I need to make a torch."

So Xiang Qianqin was looking for suitable materials, and he picked up a fruit under a tree.

"The drupe of stone chestnut is rich in vegetable oil and easy to ignite." Xiang Qianqian raised his head and pointed to the big tree and said, "This is the stone chestnut tree. So there should be a lot of stone chestnut stone fruit near here. The aborigines in Hawaii call it candle fruit. And use it for home lighting. I have to try to break the hard shell, the stone, and knock it a few times, and the drupe inside is what I want."

"But this one is not enough. I want to string drupes on a sharp stick to make a torch. The green wood burns slowly and is the most suitable. So I took this kind of fresh twigs, and now I use twigs to skewer Pick up the drupe, make it into a drupe string, he will burn slowly, as long as the drupe at the top is lit, it will burn down. Each drupe can burn for about 5 minutes. The lava management has nearly half an hour of fire, and it’s made into a torch.” Xiang Qianqian made three such torches, then found some easy-to-burn hay, and lit the hay with his own knife and flint, Put the torch on it and light it.

"This has something else to do with the little torch. It might save your life. Not only does it provide light in the lava tunnel, it also warns me of the presence of carbon dioxide. It works like a canary in a pit, a volcano. The gases released include carbon dioxide, which is colorless and odorless, but in high concentrations it can kill people. If I encounter a large amount of carbon dioxide, the fire will go out, which also means that I must leave quickly, or I may suffocate." Incense money is lit The small torch gave way and put out the fire in the dry grass on the floor.

Carrying a backpack and holding a small torch, he walked into the dark ancient lava tunnel. Xiang Qianqian could still see the road ahead clearly under the faint light of the fire.
