An Athlete Held up by an Entertainment Career

The news did not go into details, but only said that poachers appeared in the undeveloped rainforest area of ​​Xishuangbanna. With the help of several enthusiastic citizens, Mr. Xu, the local police successfully controlled the poachers. Currently, the vital signs of the juvenile Asian elephant are in good condition.

[Xishuangbanna?Rainforest?Mr. Xu?Why did I inexplicably get in touch with Xu Qiao?]

[Thinking too much, isn't Xu Qiao filming a documentary in the rainforest, how could it be him, although it is indeed a coincidence 2333]

[Poachers are really lawless, I hope they can be severely punished]

Here, Xu Qiao went back to the oil nan tree he found earlier, cut off a small piece of bark with a knife, and scraped off several layers of thin inner core with a strong pungent smell.

"Look." Xu Qiao took out a small piece and put it in the palm of his hand, pointed at the camera and introduced, "It's very thin, and it contains a rich oily liquid. This is a very good material for making tinder."

"If I have a straw and a bag, I can drill a hole in the trunk, put the straw in and connect the bag, and in about two to three hours, I can collect more than five liters of oil, which is somewhat similar to diesel, It's on fire."

After collecting enough tinder, Xu Qiao set foot on the way back.

There were markers along the way, even though the jungle vegetation was dense and it was difficult to identify the direction, Xu Qiao returned to her shelter smoothly.

It's just that besides Xiao Wen and Daniel following him, the young Asian elephant also followed Xu Qiao with one leg curled up, touching Xu Qiao with its nose from time to time, as if inviting Xu Qiao to play with it.

Xiaowen and Daniel were eager to see it, and wanted to lean over to touch it, but the little elephant became irritable just a few steps closer.

On one side were Xiaowen and Daniel who were full of regrets, and on the other side was Xu Qiao frowning at the little elephant with a knife in his hand.

He withdrew his gaze from the baby elephant and looked at the camera: "The wild Asian elephant retains its wildness, so even if it shows closeness to you, I suggest not to have too much contact with it and keep vigilant at all times."

Xiaowen: "..." It's so cute, just touch it, it's an invitation to you.

The elephant followed Xu Qiao back to the sanctuary, took a few steps by the stream, and then dipped its trunk into the stream to drink.

"The harvest is not bad this time." Xu Qiao placed the harvest in his hammock, so as not to be wet by the raindrops condensed on the leaves in the forest.

When the camera turns to the past, you can see a few non-toxic wild fruits on the hammock, plus a bunch of core and bark of nannus.Also attached is a medical kit left by the staff of the Forestry and Grassland Bureau to treat the wounds of the baby elephants.

Xu Qiao was sitting on the hammock, and there was a pile of wood on the side of the hammock, which he put in after setting up the hammock for the shack yesterday.

"These logs were put here yesterday. I hope they can be dried and used as firewood. After all, it always rains in the rainforest and the branches are wet."

Stretching out her hand to touch the pile of wood, Xu Qiao felt a little helpless: "It's still a bit damp."

The water vapor in the rainforest is too heavy, and there is a shack on the hammock to protect it from the rain, but it is also very difficult to completely dry the wood in a short while.

Touching her flat stomach, Xu Qiao sighed. He couldn't wait to start a fire and cook some hot food.

"The wood is not so dry, and drilling wood to make fire may not be successful, but now that you have the core of the oil nan tree to make tinder, you can still try it."

Holding the wood and getting off the hammock, Xu Qiao looked around and chose an open space more than ten meters away from the hammock.

The terrain of this open space is relatively high, forming a gentle slope, and the rainwater will not be silted up.

It is difficult to start a fire, and it is even more important to preserve the fire.

Here, Xu Qiao built a small foundation with stones to isolate the wet ground, and then built a simple hut around the stones, with a few thick layers of plantain palm leaves on the top to make sure that the rain would not seep in. .

After completing these, Xu Qiao brought all the materials over and picked and selected them.

"If you drill wood to make fire, you must first find a suitable wood to make the drill board. The drill board should be dry and soft wood. This piece is more suitable." Xu Qiao gestured to the camera for the wood he selected.

"Then there is the drill bit. You need to use a hard branch for the drill bit. This branch is fine. The texture is hard and the branch is straight enough. It will be easier to exert force when you drill for a while."

Xu Qiao sat on the ground and cut the branch into a spindle shape with a knife.

"There are three methods of drilling wood for fire: hand drill, rope drill, and bow drill. The bow drill is more labor-saving."

I chose a relatively soft branch and tied it with a parachute cord to make a bow. The selected drill bit was fixed to the parachute cord, and Xu Qiao took out a knife to drill a hole in the drill board.

"Look here, the drill bit will be inserted into this hole in a short while, and sparks will be generated through high-speed rotation and friction."

After drilling the hole, Xu Qiao turned over the drill board and opened a slot on the side with a knife: "Slots like this should be made on the side of the drilled hole, so that the burning debris can be poured out, and it can also promote air circulation to support combustion."

After finishing these tasks, Xu Qiao grabbed the dry soil from the ground and sprinkled it into the drill hole: "Put a little soil and sand in order to increase the friction. Alright, I'm going to start."

The people in the column group watching the real-time picture couldn't help discussing this scene.

"I didn't hear that Xu Qiao had experience of living in the wild before. Didn't she just study hard and then entered the entertainment industry? How did she learn it?"

"Yeah, and the movements are so proficient, it feels like I did it more than once or twice."

Director Gong Sheng stared at the screen, and sneered as he listened to the discussion: "What's so strange, you know nothing about the world of Renxueba."

"..."

Xu Qiao stepped on the drill board and rubbed the bow back and forth, with the force ranging from light to heavy.

Xiaowen and Daniel focused their cameras on him, holding their breaths to record the scene.

There are many myths and legends about fire. In the west, Prometheus stole fire, and in the east, Suiren made fire by drilling wood. In the history of human civilization, there is no other invention that has such a profound impact as fire.

The hard wooden drill bit rubbed against the drill board rapidly.

In the camera, Xu Qiao's nose was dripping with sweat, and he wiped it off his shoulders with his head tilted. His lips were chapped and white due to lack of water: "Don't drip sweat, try to keep it as dry as possible."

The voice was still steady and quiet.

After rubbing for five or six minutes, the contact between the drill plate and the drill bit was scorched black, and smoke slowly came out.

Xiaowen and Daniel suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

There is smoke, and it is estimated that there will be sparks soon.

Seeing the smoke, Xu Qiao didn't take a breath, then lowered her body and carefully blew on the fire.

Soon, dots of red sparks appeared, and Xu Qiao quickly piled up the tinder that he had prepared earlier, and continued to blow.

These sparks are easily extinguished and must be blown slowly into flames to ignite the branches.

There was no movement for a long time.

Xu Qiao put her hands aside to prevent the wind from blowing away the hard-won sparks.The little red dot hidden under the tinder flickered, as if it would go out at any moment.

"Fire..."

"Get up, hurry up."

Both Xiaowen and Daniel's hearts tightened, and they kept praying in their hearts.

Whether Xu Qiao can successfully start a fire depends on whether Xu Qiao can drink boiled water and eat cooked food.

Just when the sparks were completely extinguished, and the two thought that they had failed to get fire by drilling wood, a small cluster of flames suddenly appeared in the next moment.Immediately afterwards, it grew rapidly with the help of the oil nan tinder, and it burned up in a flash.

"It's great!" Xiaowen shouted in a low voice, his face full of joy.

Xu Qiao continued to add tinder and twigs. The twigs were not particularly dry, but they were barely ignited, but the smoke was a bit heavy.

When the fire stabilized, Xu Qiao moved the lighted branches to the shack built in advance, added firewood and panted and said: "Drilling wood to make fire is very troublesome and exhausting, so this strand of fire must be well protected. I hope it can last until ten years." After four days, this survival is over."

Spreading out the palm, one can see that even with the relatively labor-saving bow drilling method, Xu Qiao's palm still has a row of blisters due to intense friction.

Xiaowen felt pain when he looked at the row of blisters. Who knew that Xu Qiao, like a normal person, took a knife and roasted it on the newly lit fire, and the tip of the knife broke.

After moving her stiff fingers, Xu Qiao took out a bamboo tube to scoop a tube of water from the stream, set it on the fire and boiled it.

Since arriving in the rainforest yesterday, he has been in a state of water shortage, because he dare not drink the raw water of the jungle directly, Xu Qiao's only water supply comes from the few wild fruits.

Now I can finally drink water.

While the bamboo tube was roasting on the fire, Xu Qiao walked around the stream, pointed to the water and said, "Look, a lot of protein is swimming."

Xiaowen: "?" What the hell?

The camera turned to the past, and Xiaowen saw a few small fish swimming in the stream.

……

"It's not easy to catch with bare hands. I need to make a tool." Xu Qiao looked around and broke off a forked hardwood branch.

Using a knife to sharpen the two ends of the fork, Xu Qiao felt the sharpness with her fingers, and raised the corners of her mouth in satisfaction.

A natural harpoon.

Holding the freshly made harpoon, Xu Qiao took off her shoes and walked into the stream, slowly approaching the small fish that didn't notice the danger.

"What's Joe going to do?" Daniel asked.

Xiaowen held back for a long time, and finally came up with the word "hunt".

Daniel looked at Xu Qiao in amazement, thinking that without a fishing net, could such a branch be able to catch fish?

Xu Qiao got close enough to operate, and quickly walked towards the fishbone in the water.

Because of the refraction of light, there is a certain deviation between the position of the fish seen underwater and its actual position.

It doesn't matter to big fish, as small fish like this can easily get crooked.But this didn't affect Xu Qiao, the harpoon was firmly nailed into the soil, stirring up a cloud of muddy water.

The other small fish fled in panic.

Xu Qiao walked over and carefully lifted the harpoon out.

There are two small fish on a string at the top.

Under the lens, the sun rolled on the fish scales, shining brightly.

"Good luck." Xu Qiao rubbed his stomach.
