Bai Fumei and I's Wilderness Survival

Phew, after Cao Wei blew a few breaths, the dry grass instantly burst into flames.

He carefully placed the fire source on the ground, and then put some twigs on it.

When the fire has just started, put some dry branches first so that the fire can start easily.

certainly.Drilling wood to make fire is already trivial to Cao Wei.

He set the kettle over the fire, and on top of it he placed a large leaf, a large tropical broadleaf plant resembling a plantain leaf.

Cao Wei put him in a concave shape, so that the water vapor rising from the kettle can be adsorbed on the leaf, and under the leaf, Cao Wei also put a leaf, and made the shape of the leaf into a concave shape, so that according to the transpiration, the water will be clean. The water vapor in the water is attached to the upper leaves, and the water vapor from the leaves gathers into water droplets, which will drip on the lower leaves, and the water received by the lower leaves is pure water that has been separated from the salt.

"It seems that we have to find the water source as soon as possible, otherwise there is no way to go on like this."

This method is time-consuming and labor-intensive. A pot of seawater can only extract about 100 milliliters of pure water, but it takes nearly half an hour to extract this pure water. During this half hour, a large amount of dry wood will be burned, which is time-consuming and laborious.

Cao Wei strung sea crabs one by one on a tree branch and put them beside the fire. At first, the crabs that came into contact with the flames struggled desperately, and stopped moving after a few seconds.

Looking at these crabs, Leng Qing refused at first. These strawberry-sized crabs looked like demons in Leng Qing's eyes.

Compared to these, she prefers to eat lobster.

But seeing these crabs slowly turning red and exuding a unique seafood fragrance, Leng Qing's stomach growled uncontrollably.

These crabs were charred and blackened, and their appearance gradually became ugly.

"I said, you're almost burnt!"

Han Fei hurriedly said from the side, you must know that these crabs are the rations for today.

"This kind of crab has too many parasites, and the cooking method is uneven. If you don't want the parasites to drill a hole in your eye, just bear it."

After finishing speaking, Cao Wei took out a roasted black lacquer crab from the fire, threw it directly into his mouth and began to chew.

Although this crab is small in size, it has all five internal organs. Although there is no meat, the dried crab is crispy and has a unique fragrance.

It tasted like eating seaweed-flavored five-spice beans, and the crunchy sound made Leng Qing a little greedy. Seeing Cao Wei's expression of enjoyment, she finally couldn't help picking one up and throwing it into her mouth.

"This is too delicious!"

Chapter 67: The Lamb to the Slaughter

Leng Qing took a mouthful of sea crab, and the crisp taste immediately filled her taste buds.

High-end ingredients often only need the simplest cooking method. These sea crabs are pure natural crabs near uninhabited islands. They all grow up eating fish and shrimp in the sea. less than.Moreover, this kind of sea crab is a unique species in the waters around the uninhabited island. Han Fei and Leng Qing have never eaten this kind of crab since they were young.

Of course, Cao Wei also ate for the first time.

After roasting, the parasites inside the sea crabs have been completely killed by high temperature. These thirty or so sea crabs will be eaten one by one, and they will soon be eaten up. There is an expression on the faces of several people who are still unsatisfied.

At this time, the water in the broad leaves has collected about 400 milliliters, which is not as much as a bottle of mineral water. Cao Wei took the Water Margin from the fire and shook it violently on the rock a few times. After being dried, the salt fell in white flowers.

"Why is there so much salt in this bottle of water?"

Leng Qing was startled when she saw this scene.

"Unfortunately, these are the most crude sea salt, so they cannot be eaten."

Looking at the white sea salt in this place, Cao Wei also feels a little pity. In the wilderness, salt is a very scarce seasoning. In modern society, salt is indispensable for cooking any ingredients. Dry and unpalatable food becomes delicious.

However, sea salt cannot be eaten directly, because there are impurities in it that have not been removed. To make sea salt into edible table salt, it is not just a simple matter of boiling and distilling salt water.Although it cannot be eaten, Cao Wei does not want to waste it.

In fact, sea salt is also a special health product, which is prominent in disinfection, antipruritic, bactericidal, anti-inflammatory and other aspects.

There is a saying that sprinkle salt on the wound, although it sounds painful, but in fact, when there were no antibiotics hundreds of years ago, in many military camps that served in the army, they would wash the wound with salt water after being injured, and then use Salt and certain herbs are crushed and applied externally to achieve the purpose of anti-inflammatory.This also shows that hundreds of years ago our ancestors had discovered that things like salt have a disinfecting effect.

In fact, it is not that salt can disinfect, but that the ingredients in the salt are too salty, and many bacteria and viruses will be 'salted' to death when they come into contact with the surface of the salt. Therefore, these sea salts still have a certain effect.Although the three of us bought a medical kit from the main god, those medical resources are one bottle less and one bottle less, so we need to prepare more things to be prepared.

Fill the empty jug with distilled water. The water still has an earthy smell, which is very unpalatable.

"I've never drank such bad water."

In contrast, Leng Qing began to miss the mountain spring water from the waterfall in the Amazon rainforest, and there was a faint sweetness in the mountain spring water.

"Nonsense, it's distilled from seawater, and some of it is fine to drink. In the next four hours, each of us can drink up to 130 milliliters, about three to four mouthfuls."

"So, for four hours, each of us can only drink a small sip of water every hour to ensure that the body will not be dehydrated. During this time, we must find a source of water that can continue to supply us with drinking."

When Cao Wei gave the order, Leng Qing and Han Fei had no objection. For Leng Qing, she didn't want to drink more than one sip of such unpalatable water.

Even Han Fei squeezed his nose before swallowing it, and then grinned like he was drinking traditional Chinese medicine.

A few people walked towards the center of the island. There were still many traces of dampness on the ground. Along the way, several people encountered many plants. Suddenly, Cao Wei stopped in a green shade and picked up a green plant from the ground. .

"This is?"

Han Fei was a little puzzled, "Kelp?"

Cao Wei nodded and said, "Yes, this is kelp."

"But shouldn't kelp grow at the bottom of the water? How did you find this thing on a rock?"

Cao Wei smiled, pointed to the roots of the kelp and said: "There are many fish and shrimps under the water that feed on kelp. They gnawed on the roots of the kelp, and the kelp floated on the surface of the water. After high tide, it was washed to the rocks. , we were lucky enough to pick up a ready-made, such a large piece of kelp, and it would be enough for the three of us to have a full meal after cooking."

It was the first time for Leng Qing to see this kind of unprocessed kelp. Looking at the dirty look on it, she really didn't have much appetite, but for Cao Wei, kelp was one of the few on this deserted island that could be eaten with peace of mind. And one of the nutritious green vegetables.Kelp, as a giant algal plant growing on the seabed, is rich in nutrients and cellulose.Most importantly, it is rich in potassium which is necessary for human life.

In the last survival in the wilderness, they did not eat salt for 30 days. Everyone's skin was dry and cracked to varying degrees, and even Cao Wei's body swelled to varying degrees. This is a manifestation of severe potassium deficiency.Although short-term potassium deficiency will not cause any danger to life, but in this wilderness where materials are scarce and dangerous, it is the last word to maintain the best physical strength at all times.

More importantly, kelp is also rich in salt, which can be eaten directly. Kelp soaked in seawater for a long time has long evolved a complete absorption system, and they will automatically filter out the salt in the seawater. impurities, and absorb the salt without impurities into the leaves.So this kelp is good whether it is boiled or dried.

A few people have already walked quite a distance, three to five kilometers away from the place where the fire was lit last time. It is not like Cao Wei turned back just to eat a piece of kelp. For them, from entering the wilderness at ten o'clock in the morning to now, Before they knew it, it had been more than two hours. The sun in the sky was getting hotter and hotter, but they hadn't found a source of drinking water.

This is very deadly in the wilderness!

The uninhabited island is a tropical island, the temperature is above 30 degrees all year round, only at night the temperature will drop with the sea breeze, but the highest temperature is around two o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun will shine on the top of the head at two o'clock, that At that time, the surface temperature could rise to [-] degrees at most, and it was almost possible to fry eggs. At that time, Cao Wei and others had only three choices.

Or, find a water source to replace the water lost in the body.

Or, find a shelter with enough shade to escape the up to three hours of scorching sun.

Or, wait to die.

In the wilderness, it is often so cruel.

Seeing that the water in the original 400ml jug has bottomed out, the two people, who at first disliked the water, rushed to drink it. Even if each of them only took a small sip, the 400ml water was not enough. for drink.What's more, the crabs eaten at noon are seafood, which contains a lot of salt, which needs to be metabolized by the body's water, and several people feel more and more thirsty.

"We've been walking for two hours, why is there no water source ahead, Cao Wei, are we going in the wrong direction?"

Leng Qing was a little anxious, looking at the endless rocks in front of her and the scorching sun above her head, she became a little irritable.
