Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 466: vacated shelter

The stream passed a corner, the water slowed down, and on its winding side, the soil was covered with umbrella-like Houttuynia cordata.

Bi Fang pressed with a tree stick to startle away all the insects and ants in the Houttuynia cordata, grabbed a handful, shook off the soil, and washed it by the stream.

Leonardo on the side also did the same, and he was more careful. The stick in his hand was longer, more than two meters, and he often had to beat it three or four times before he dared to approach.

After a series of devastations by bamboo leaves green, white-limbed bison, and red dragon centipede, Leonardo was a little nervous, for fear that something would suddenly jump out of this pile of weed-like things.

It's only the first day, and I have encountered so many dangerous creatures. You must know that Bi Fang still has 20 days to live here. After practicing iron tools, maybe something will come out.

Can it really be done?

The audience is different from Bi Fang's speed in finding drugs.

[I rely on, how can Lao Fang find anything]

【Is this too fast? 】

It's less than half an hour.

"Because what I'm looking for is plants that are easy to find. If we really want to clear heat and detoxify, there are many plants that can do it, but to survive in the wild, what we need to look for is the ones that are readily available. Maybe the effect is not the strongest, but it must be It's the easiest to find, like the dog's tail grass that can be found everywhere on the road."

Bi Fang took off the leaves on the top of Houttuynia cordata, leaving only the stalk in the middle. Bi Fang directly put it into his mouth to chew, chewed it up, spit it out, and applied it to the cleaned wound.

"It has a faint smell of traditional Chinese medicine, but it is still a good source of food. We can collect more of it."

Bi Fang and Leonardo dug for a long time, filling the two funnels before giving up. In the middle, Leonardo also tried.

Unfortunately, it seems that he is the type of hyper-allergic person Bi Fang said.

As soon as I took a bite, I felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, and an extremely strong fishy smell lingered in my tongue, which was more serious than Bi Fang's discomfort.

Anyway, Bi Fang just felt a faint smell of traditional Chinese medicine, not that he couldn't swallow it.

"I may not be suitable for survival in the wild." Leonardo laughed at himself.

After taking a few bites to fill his stomach, Bi Fang was already covered with funnel bags made of plants. There were four in total, and they were filled with all the harvests from the past half day.

Bi Fang took a count in front of the audience. The largest one was filled with red soil powder, and a few sharp stone chips and charcoal were stuffed inside.

The other two bags are filled with freshly picked Houttuynia cordata as reserve food.

One of them is also pressing a milky white pouch, shaped like a balloon, that is Zhu Yeqing's stomach bag, which is filled with water.

The last small package contained the more dangerous things. It was a few branches of the Blood Sealed Throat Tree, which were fresh and green, and the broken ends were still bubbling with milky white sap.

It looks no different from ordinary trees, and the audience knows that it is this thing, which is extremely poisonous and can be killed or injured when touched.

If splashed in the eyes, the eyes will be blinded immediately. The smoke from the burning branches can also blind people.

Painted on the arrow, once hit the beast, the blood of the beast will coagulate and the heart will stop within 3 seconds.

It was also Bi Fang's most important harvest in the past half a day. Around the branches, it was stuffed with unknown weeds.

That was when Bi Fang was collecting the branches, and he collected them around the blood-stuffed tree. Leonardo didn't know what the weeds were for. They looked like ordinary grasses. Poisoned by scratches.

"This is the antidote to the blood-sealed throat tree."

Bi Fang seemed to see Leonardo's question, and explained it specially. When he found the Blood Sealed Throat Tree, he only focused on digging the soil below. He only collected some antidote nearby, and didn't have time to explain.

"An antidote?"

[There is an antidote for this thing? 】

[Wait, did Lao Fang just pick it casually next to the tree? 】

[Damn it, the antidote for curare is around it? 】

[Is it true that there must be an antidote within seven steps? 】

"Although curare is poisonous, it has an antidote. It is the red-backed bamboo grass, and it is the only antidote for curare."

Bi Fang took out the grass in the bag and showed it to the audience in front of the screen. One plant had several leaves and was surrounded by tiny burrs.

"If it is a planted curare tree, it may not be there, but there will almost certainly be it in the wild. It grows around the curare tree. It looks no different from ordinary grass, and only a few old Yi people can identify it."

"This should also be the principle of mutual growth and restraint of all things. As for whether there must be an antidote within seven steps of a poison, I don't know, but it is not very credible. It should be a survivor's deviation. "

[I rely on, survivor bias, this is too...]

[Isn't that right, all those who didn't find the antidote died, dog head.jpg]

Just these four backpacks contain food, simple tools, fire-making items, and self-defense means.

It shows that in the past half day, Bi Fang has gained a lot.

It's just that the suggested funnel bag is still not enough. It's too small. You need to find some other materials to make a bigger backpack.

"The next step is to build a shelter." Bi Fang looked around. Although the creek was not wide, only about three meters, there were no large trees above it.

Although there is a large section of the tree cover around, there is still a large gap. Through this gap, the golden sunlight is thoroughly revealed into the dense forest for the first time.

Leonardo raised his head and finally saw the sun, and the fear of being in the jungle disappeared most of the time.

Seems to be breathing a lot easier.

Although the primitive rainforest is not completely dark, you can still see things clearly, but the deep depression cannot be eliminated.

Even if you know you are live, you still can't eliminate your fear.

Looking at Bi Fang, who is still at ease and comfortable in the jungle in just half a day, it seems that the external environment cannot affect him at all.

A real strong man.

"Let's go, there's nothing to see." Bi Fang didn't know what Leonardo was thinking, he patted the other side's shoulder, ready to find a good place as a camp for tonight.

After the camp is done, get two wooden spears and try to catch fish in the stream for dinner. The first day is complete.

"The camp cannot be built too close to the water source, so that it is easy to encounter beasts who come to drink water, and it cannot be too far away, otherwise the daily replenishment of water will be a big trouble."

"Many large beasts have their own fixed range of movement. If they run a large distance every day, leaving behind smells and traces of movement, it is easier to encounter them."

"So 500 to 1,000 meters is a very suitable distance. Not only is it convenient to fetch water, but we can also try fishing."

Along the riverbank, Bi Fang and Leonardo just wanted to leave, but were caught by a cluster of plants hidden behind the trees.

"That's..." Bi Fang looked at the long pole covered by trees, a little familiar.

Take Leonardo directly across the river and come to the other end.

Just a few steps in, a few long rods came into view.

Hey!

Bi Fang smiled happily.

The audience was also amused, with the long pole in front of it in the shape of a knot, with wisps of green leaves on top.

Isn't it sugar cane?

[I rely on, wild sugar cane! 】

[Lao Fang is so lucky, he can still eat wild sugar cane? 】

[June to August, October to December, is the season to eat sugar cane! 】

[Wori, I'm thirsty]

Bi Fang was also very surprised. He didn't expect to find fruit near Houttuynia cordata.

Sugarcane is a tropical crop and has been eaten for a long time.

Qu Yuan wrote a poem in "Songs of Chu: Conjuring the Soul": "There is some jelly in the 郹(er) turtle shell."

It means a family gathering, with a rich variety of food, stewed soft-shelled turtle and fire-roasted lamb, dipped in fresh sugar cane syrup.

From the perspective of time, in the Warring States period of more than 300 years BC, the syrup made from sugar cane was at least often eaten by the nobles.

Gu Kaizhi also has an allusion about getting better and better.

"Sugar cane?" Leonardo chewed on this unfamiliar word, as if he had never heard it before, but watching the audience barrage, is it a very popular fruit?

He quickly asked, "What is this?"

Bi Fangzheng smashed the roots of the sugar cane with stones, and was stunned when he heard the question: "Don't you know the sugar cane?"

Leonardo looked dazed and shook his head.

He had never seen this kind of fruit in Ugly Country.

[Indeed no, I have been studying in the ugly country for two years, and I have never seen sugar cane sold anywhere. 】

[Yes, Ugly people don't seem to eat this stuff, they only use it to make juice and sugar]

Many Westerners have been addicted to sugar all their lives, but they have never eaten sugar cane, and they don't even know what it looks like.

Hearing the audience's explanation, Bi Fang suddenly realized that although he knew a lot of wilderness, this was the first time he knew about it, so he explained, "This plant is called sugar cane."

"It's a very common fruit in Huaxia, and it's very sweet, but it's actually not its ripening season, and it's still wild. I'm not sure whether it can be eaten or not."

Almost all fruits eaten in modern times have been domesticated by humans for a long time.

Not just fruits, all food crops we grow were originally domesticated from "weeds".

Just think that millet is actually the evolution of the dog's tail grass.

Wild fruit, the taste is worrying.

Bi Fang didn't expect the sugar cane in front of him to be sweet, but only hoped that it would have a little taste.

Leonardo got excited when he heard that the long pole in front of him was fruit.

Can you still eat fruit here?

"Sugar cane is very efficient at sunlight, so it can grow and survive without facing the sun directly, but insufficient sunlight cannot effectively accumulate sugar."

Bi Fang's implication is obvious, it can be long without sufficient sunshine, but it may not be too sweet, so let Leonardo not have expectations.

"And some sugar cane can be poisonous."

"poisonous?"

Leonardo was startled, how is it poisonous? Chinese people like to eat poisonous fruits?

Bi Fang said with a smile: "It's not that sugarcane itself is poisonous, but that it is easily mildewed."

"Before I came, Director Zhou told me that experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences had conducted an investigation on the resources of wild poisonous plants in Banna, and investigated 289 species of wild poisonous plants in Banna, belonging to 79 families and 214 genera."

"The most poisonous are small poisonous plants, there are 5 kinds of highly poisonous plants, and 11 kinds of poisonous plants. But there is no sugar cane in it."

Leonardo breathed a sigh of relief, and Bi Fang almost smashed the sugar cane, and the two took out one together.

"Every year, people are poisoned by eating sugar cane, so we must be careful. After cutting, the section of the sugar cane has abnormal colors such as light yellow, brown, and gray."

"It smells musty, has a sour taste in the mouth, or tastes of alcohol. You can't buy sugar cane like this."

Bi Fang picked up the sugar cane and showed the broken end. It was not unusual, white and juicy.

He took out the flakes and began to peel the sugar cane.

"The roots of sugarcane are the sweetest, because it absorbs more nutrients, some of the nutrients will be stored, and the excess will be converted into sugar."

"Gu Kaizhi, a famous painter in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, has an allusion about getting better and better, which means eating from scratch, and the more you eat, the sweeter it becomes."

Bi Fang peeled the root of the sugar cane, broke off the white part and handed it to Leonardo, and took a bite himself.

At the moment of entrance, Bi Fang's eyes lit up: "Well, it's sweet!"

Seeing that Bi Fang also ate it, Leonardo couldn't wait to try it. The juice in his mouth burst, but it was not as delicious as he imagined.

There is only a faint trace of sweetness, and more, it is a taste of water.

But it's not bad. Leonardo, who has eaten roasted centipedes, has learned to be content.

The sugarcane was an accidental harvest. The two ate a whole sugarcane on the spot and spit out the fibrous **** all over the place.

The circulation in the rainforest is extremely fast, and it may take less than a month for these fibers to become fertilizer.

Bi Fang cut three more hearts, only one of the red hearts was inedible, and he carried the rest to the depths of the rainforest.

The sweetness of sugarcane is limited, but it is suitable for hydration. It is a natural hydrating container. Just these two can replenish the water for two days.

The two wandered around for a while, and finally found a relatively empty place 800 meters away from the river.

There was no feces left by wild beasts or the smell of marking the territory nearby.

If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools.

To build a shelter, you need to make some cutting tools first, and the stone axe is essential.

Bi Fang took Leonardo and UU reading www.uukanshu.com to make two stone axes with stones, tree sticks and rattan, and looked for suitable materials nearby.

"In the jungle, the biggest concern is rain. You have to build a shelter that can withstand the rain and provide a dry environment."

"In the rainforest, there are many palm trees, and their leaves are ideal raw materials for building shelters.

Bamboo is another ideal material for building dwellings.

Tropical rain forests provide a wealth of raw materials that can be used to build shelters, but the main difficulty is how to keep them dry. In addition, the ground conditions are also a serious problem. "

Unlike the forest, it is almost useless to clear the ground in the rainforest, and it will not take long for the insects and ants to re-occupy the place.

Add in far more venomous snakes, and a large heat source lying on the ground is likely to attract them.

Bi Fang didn't want to wake up in the morning to find a poisonous cobra tucked in his chest.

"So the shelter must be vacated!"
