Chapter 53 The Squirrel Bully
With good food, a tough life seems instantly a lot better.
Everyone sat around under the shade of the tree, and held a meeting to discuss the life in the wilderness these days, and what everyone still wanted to do.
"Go and catch bugs every day!" Shi Hanwei didn't care about the bug meat at all, and he learned the bug-catching technique from his idol He Sen, and it was the time when he was excited and wanted to practice.
"Okay, I'll go catch worms with you." The colonel said, the worm meat is so delicious and high-quality protein.There is a bug infestation around here, so it is almost unnecessary to think about it, and there is absolutely no rush to change food for a period of time.
"Because the worm meat has not been quarantined, I have to cook it thoroughly, bake it or fry it too old." To eliminate the parasites and some biological toxins that may be contained in the worm meat - many biological toxins will also follow degrade or be destroyed by heating.
Wei Hancheng said: "So it's not the best way to cook these meats. If you eat them like this for a long time, it will still be greasy and the taste will be tired. You still need to find more food on the treant mother planet."
"Xia Fan and I should go pick up the wild vegetables and mushrooms that the colonel mentioned today." Gu Safen suggested that, as a woman who has been a celebrity for decades, she prefers to eat vegetarian dishes.
Xia Fan nodded quickly.
"I'm not very familiar with mushrooms, can I be sure that they are non-toxic?" Wei Hancheng only knows mushrooms like morels on the earth, and eating them wrong is less likely to cause hallucinations, but more likely to cause death!
"I know it. After they pick it up, let me identify it." The colonel replied.
Wei Hancheng nodded.
"Food and water are here for now, so what else needs to be done in the camp?" He Sen opened his mouth.
The colonel thought about it for a while: "It's better to make a barrier." This is the edge area of the insect infestation, and the trees are still dense, so a barrier should be made to ensure the safety of fire.
Everyone arranged each other's rescue cabins in a semicircle, set fires on the side near the river bank, and set up a wooden barrier on the bank.The first is to prevent the wind by the river from blowing out the bonfire, and the second is to allow the heat source to reflect back to the semicircle area at night.
"Then Uncle Wang and I will continue to collect firewood." Firewood is a consumable, and there is always not enough.George looked at Wilde, then turned around to add, and Wilde nodded.
"Yes, you can use the scythe to cut down some gnawed trees and come back. It is better to burn the large pieces of wood overnight." The colonel pointed out.
"How long do you want to live here? If it takes longer, we can use some charcoal, which lasts longer than firewood." Wei Hancheng said.
Everyone looked over.
Wei Hancheng was at a loss, he didn't understand what he said.
"Do you know how to burn charcoal?" Wilde is the oldest guest among the current guests. In fact, every episode of the program will invite a business elite, which can provide some business thinking on the adventurous area, which is very popular with the audience.
Wei Hancheng nodded: "I also only know the wet stewing method in burning charcoal. It can be done right by the river. It is best to have an iron bucket. If not, we can dig a hole."
"(Whistle~)" Shi Han opened his mouth slightly: "It's too ancient, how can you have such primitive technology."
Indeed, in the face of the development of technology such as Emperor Star, which can already float houses, not many people know about charcoal burning, a technology with extremely low energy utilization.
Wei Hancheng smiled: "I just like to collect some unorthodox knowledge and tricks."
"Then let's consider the cycle of living for one month first, and try burning it." The colonel made a decision.Although the colonel is from the special forces, the special tasks he performs are at most survival in the wild, and he doesn't consider long-term survival, so he doesn't know how to burn charcoal.
If you think about it carefully, the program date will be about one week to ten days, which is more reasonable, but since there are many tossing but interesting activities, it is natural to follow the most entertaining lifestyle.
No matter how real a reality show is, the focus is still on the show, without the show, the audience would not want to watch it.
It was impossible to sleep in the rescue capsule from noon to afternoon. The sun was shining right now, and they were not in the forest. The closed rescue capsule was an excellent incubator, and they might become dehydrated if they slept in it.
Everyone opened up their rescue capsules, and then took out the thin blankets to expose them to the sun, which was convenient for use at night.
The guests had never lived in the wild, and after a full meal, they all looked drowsy.
"We should also build a cool bed, and we can take a nap now." George was a little depressed because of sleepiness.
"Those who want to sleep, take your rope and blanket." The colonel couldn't stand it anymore: "I will teach you the old sailor's bed."
Wei Hancheng pondered for a while, and guessed that what the colonel was talking about was a hammock.He had discovered long ago that the four ends of the thin blankets in this batch of supplies had holes covered with metal sheets, which could be bundled into bags if necessary, and made into backpacks with ropes.There are clips on both sides that can be used to string ropes, which should be used as a hammock for survival in the wild.
Only Wilde, Wei Hancheng and He Sen stayed, but after the other guests left, some river wind blew under the big pine tree by the river, and it became less stuffy.
Wilde nodded to Wei Hancheng as a gesture of goodwill, relieving some of Wei Hancheng's embarrassment of wanting to show kindness.Wei Hancheng also breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled back at the other party.
When Wilde ate just now, he ate strictly according to eating etiquette, so Wei Hancheng guessed that the other party's elites had a heavy burden, and sleeping on a hammock was obviously not so elegant.
Sure enough, Wilde was a middle-aged uncle, and he was more prone to sleepiness than young people.After everyone left, he returned to his rescue cabin, but opened the hatch completely, turned it over to the other side, and then fell asleep with his eyes closed.
Wei Hancheng also felt sleepy, but it was still very hot in the rescue cabin, middle-aged people might be afraid of the cold, but warmer would not be afraid, he didn't want to go in and sleep.
"Would you like to sit on the tree?" He Sen asked suddenly, pointing to the tree.
The trees here are very tall, even the shortest one is 30 meters high, and the old pine tree on the river bank is obviously much more majestic and mighty than other trees.
It is also because of this that the shade of the tree can cover the rescue cabins of so many people.
The old pine is not very straight, perhaps because it has been blown by the river all the year round, and it has a slight smell of welcoming pine.The branches have some curved parts, which can allow people to sit on the branches.
The breeze blows, and the fine needles shake, but it feels cool.
Wei Hancheng wanted to go up, but he said hesitantly, "I don't know how to climb trees."
He Sen smiled, he was so handsome, and suddenly he smiled in the sun, it was dazzling.Within a few jumps, he had already grabbed Wei Hancheng's waist and brought him onto Hengzhi.
"Oh~" Wei Hancheng only had time to let out a small exclamation.
In an instant, it was tens of meters high from the ground!
He hugged the trunk of the tree beside him tremblingly, because he was a little dizzy due to the speed, but fortunately, the trunk was also very wide, which made people feel safer.
He Sen sat down casually on the tree as if he was on flat ground, hanging his legs in mid-air.Wei Hancheng imitated him and sat down tremblingly, but still firmly grasped the trunk with one hand.
I don't know if it's because the branches and leaves are evaporating water, but it's a bit cooler than the outside, and there's a bit of river wind at the heights, making it cooler than the ground.
"It's so comfortable here." Wei Hancheng also had to admit that this is a good place for a nap.He didn't put his legs out, but instead tried to huddle his body on the tree trunk as much as possible, and slowly leaned on the trunk.
"But I don't dare to sleep, what if I turn over and fall?" He sighed.
"Go to sleep, I won't let you fall." He Sen seemed to say casually, he changed his posture from sitting to standing lightly, and then disappeared on a higher floor.After a while, he handed some hazelnuts to Wei Hancheng.
A red squirrel as big as an arm chased Wei Hancheng angrily, yelling at him unhappily.
"Is this edible?" He Sen didn't know how he did it, and the next moment he caught the red squirrel, held it in his hand and asked Wei Hancheng.
Wei Hancheng: ...
The squirrel seemed to want to bite him, but for some reason it couldn't break through He Sen's skin, and gradually became scared in his grasp.
Wei Hancheng: "No, there are many infectious diseases in this stuff, so it's better not to eat it."
He Sen let go of the squirrel obediently, and the squirrel quickly ran away and never complained again.
Wei Hancheng looked at the hazelnut with some embarrassment, finally he peeled off the hazelnut, ate one, and then handed the peeled one to He Sen: "Here you eat."
Hazelnuts are much larger than those on Earth, and it takes two bites to finish one, which is quite satisfying.
With the breeze blowing, Wei Han Chengzhen became sleepy and gradually closed his eyes.
Slowly, his body slid a little, and he no longer hugged the tree trunk tightly.He Sen only changed quickly, and then sat beside Wei Hancheng, letting him lean on his shoulder.
The live camera dutifully used the close-up and long-range shots to lock in on the characters, and from time to time also captured people around him. He Sen raised his index finger facing the camera and made a silent gesture.He blinked and smiled slightly, as if he knew exactly what kind of tsunami wave would be on the camera's network.
After waiting for an hour, when everyone returned to the camp, only Wei Hancheng was full of energy.Two of the guests who went out to sleep in hammocks were bitten by many mosquitoes, while others may have used hammocks for the first time and did not sleep so comfortably.
"There are mosquitoes and small bugs, all of normal size, and there are ants and earthworms on the ground." Shi Han said dejectedly: "No, I will never go to sleep again."
The colonel was not bitten, perhaps the skin of the dragon species is still immune to insects, so he didn't feel such trouble at all.
Surprisingly, the two ladies were not bitten either.
"I brought an insect repellent bracelet." The two ladies reassured Wei Hancheng: "I heard that I was here for an adventure, and I was very afraid of being bitten by insects, so I prepared to wear it early." Xia Fan said, and Gu Safen nodded too. head.
The girls are really more thoughtful about these things. With the blessing of modern technology, the insect-proof bracelet specially emits ultrasonic waves that invertebrates are afraid of.It is completely harmless to the human body, but it will deter and repel insects.Unfortunately, it has limited effect on giant insects, but is very effective against insects and subspecies common to humans.
It's just that I'm not used to sleeping in a hammock, so the two ladies didn't sleep well either.
George almost rolled himself in a circle in the air with the blanket, which made his face the hardest hit area for mosquitoes. At this moment, the brow bone of his right eye is a little higher, the left eyelid is a little bit closed, and even his lips are closed. They were all swollen a lot.
"Let me build a pergola under the pine tree." He Sen offered.
Only he can cut trees easily here, the others don't have modern tools and don't know how to cut trees at all.
This time everyone looked at He Sen, including Wilde and Wei Hancheng, everyone cast a grateful gaze.
The author has something to say: Thank you for your support!I will continue to work hard!
