Chapter 7 Necessities are Terrible

The third law of the jungle: details determine life and death, make full use of everything around you, or look inconspicuous, it may save your life at a critical moment.Note: Some items that seem necessary but are not so necessary may cost you your life.

——Li Shixuan

Speaking of his current camp, it's another long story.He used to be very tender and felt that only a small-capacity container such as a mineral water bottle was not conducive to long-term survival, so he devoted himself to digging various natural containers in the forest.Don't think about high-level activities such as pottery burning. He doesn't have the security guarantee, nor does he have the energy and time in this dangerous land.Therefore, when he saw a bamboo forest, he was ecstatic. Bamboo is a good thing, and there is nothing better than a container.However, when he got closer, he realized that he was two again. He dared to ask how to get down the bamboo that was more than ten meters long and almost as thick as a thigh.If you want to continue grinding with stone flakes, you will get the Year of the Monkey and the Horse and the Moon, and after grinding, you have to cut them into sections to be used as containers. Don't be too tragic.

When he was attracted by the bamboo problem, he didn't realize that it was quiet around here, not even the sound of insects and birds.So hungry, so fragrant...Sweet, honey, fruity, and even the sweetness of mousse cake baking, swallowing, it must be delicious... Confused, he turned towards I walked to the low-lying place deep in the bamboo forest until I saw the familiar and colorful herbaceous plant more than ten meters high, and woke up in seconds.It's just that the smell was too tempting, he couldn't control his legs a little bit, this feeling was so supernatural, he broke out in a sweat.Like a ghost pressing a bed, you realize something is wrong, but there is no way to wake up, that kind of struggle in the depths of consciousness consumes countless energy, tired and frightened.

He felt as tired as he had climbed a mountain, his body was as heavy as countless boulders were tied, his eyelids could not be fully opened no matter how hard he tried, and his mind could not turn. He felt that he was biting his lower lip with all his strength. There was only a light white mark on the lips, and I couldn't wake up at all.He was sweating profusely, and tremblingly felt in his trouser pocket with all his strength, took out a knife and scratched his hand, the pain woke him up suddenly, he wanted to run outside, but his rational judgment and physical reaction told him , the time for pain to win is very short, he is already very close to that plant, it is impossible to run out of the range covered by this fragrance.

Holding his breath and temporarily isolating the influence of the smell, he took off the backpack with trembling hands. His eyelashes were wet with sweat, but he didn't have time to wipe it off. For a moment, his eyes were stinging, and even his vision was blurred. Here, such a small thing, don’t drop it, he now hates himself as an atheist, if he is a believer, he can at least pray devoutly in these long seconds, but he can only feel and tremble in fear , There is not even a wind in the silent forest, he can only hear the beating of his heart, which is getting faster and faster, his breath holding can't last too long, his body is protesting to him!

Got it!Round, small, only the size of a coin, his palms were full of sweat, and he had to hold it firmly, for fear that he would roll out and never have a chance to find it again.But, Nima!The design of this cover, if I can go back, I must give a good greeting to the designer, Nimei, who has a human head and pig brain, it is usually difficult to open, not to mention that his hands are all sweaty and he dare not breathe.The four fingers of the left hand used all the strength to hold this small thing, and the right hand kept groping. Is this the cover? If not, he can only die.

He choked and coughed, holding his breath for too long, the saliva flowed into the trachea, and he wanted to cry without tears, this kind of embarrassing thing can usually be laughed at, but now it is really terrible!

Amidst the constant twitching and coughing sound, there was an incomparably beautiful crisp metallic sound of "snap", and finally pried it open!He didn't even have time to look for the missing cap, so he hurriedly brought the thing under his nose, because he moved too quickly and too close, the pungent coolness made him shed tears, and his vision suddenly became clear, which also diluted the smell Sweet, he had never thought it smelled so good.It can be regarded as saved!

After sitting on the ground and taking a while, he turned his attention to the plant three steps away. Now it can be regarded as worthy of the name, and those colorful funnel-shaped inflorescences are definitely more than enough space for a wild boar to enter.Yes, this is an evolutionary version of pig, cage and grass with a height of more than ten meters, richer color and more charming fragrance (Li Shizhen: ...).

With this distance and the hypnotic power of the scent just now, it only takes a few seconds for Li Shizhen to experience the treatment of a pig and take a bath in that pig cage.Putting a small round box of yellow ointment on the nose, he tentatively took the cooling oil (cleansing oil: some of you still remember the cooling oil locked at the bottom of the dark schoolbag...) away, and found the fragrance The impact was indeed so small that it didn't count before the cover began to be found on the ground.Close the lid, by the way, if you still remember, the lid of Longhu Refrigerant Oil is so considerate (Li Shizhen: ...), it is not a spiral design or a clamping design, it is only slightly bigger than the bottom box Squint, it is because of this tight-fitting design that it can be tightly fastened to the box and will not be separated even if it dies!He really felt that the design of this cooling oil box was too bad, but there was no better way to store it, so he could only cover it with hatred and throw it back into the bag.

However, he calmed down and looked at the surrounding environment, especially when he saw the big banyan tree next to the bamboo forest that needed to be embraced by more than a dozen people, he found that this is an excellent place to live, mainly because of safety.In the jungle, nothing is more important than safety.And there is even a water source here, although this water source is very cruelly next to the pitcher plant, and it is a low-lying puddle.It is estimated that when the pitcher plant was young, it should have used this puddle to lure prey. As a result, when there is enough food, it will grow bigger and bigger, and its fragrance will become more and more ferocious. It will attract prey in a wider range and grow bigger. In this way, it became a cruel legend among the small animals in the dense forest...

This can reasonably explain the reason for the silence of the surrounding environment. From insects to animals, there is no one who does not get shot. This pitcher plant does not know how to mutate, but it can produce this kind of fragrance similar to neurological hallucinogens. A strong-willed person like Li Shizhen almost couldn't handle the strong hypnotic suggestion.

However, as long as this kind of thing is a chemical substance, it should be able to form drug resistance. He may be able to cultivate his resistance to it by gradually reducing the use of cooling oil, and maybe he will not need to rely on other things when he lives here in the future.While the effect of the cooling oil was still there, he decided to build a tree house first.

Stimulated by the life-and-death crisis, he found that the problem of bamboo was easily solved. Whichever one he chose, he would directly build a fire on the root. When the bamboo was burned enough to dry, felling became very easy.For the sake of sturdiness, he used whole bamboo and tough vines to bind the floor on the tree, and chose thinner bamboo and broad and strong leaves to build the bracket and canopy.Considering it as a long-term stronghold, these structures are definitely quite strong and durable. It is probably the nature of the oriental people. It is too terrible to have no shelter. The house is absolutely a necessity. No matter how strong it is, he left a blank space. As an exit, a strong rope ladder was built.

Although the construction process was very difficult due to the lack of tools, under his reasonable planning, it was completed in five days. When he settled down, he almost burst into tears. After so many days of wandering, he finally had a Seems like a safe place to stay.At this moment, he felt that he could understand the hardship and happiness of Yanzi holding mud too well.

Up to now, this tree house is already very spacious, at least five or six square meters.The internal structure is also quite complete. The bamboo bed, of course, is not the traditional one, but a crude version. After all, although he also knows the mortise and tenon joint structure, it is too difficult for a person who has to do it in the jungle every day. For young people who have worked hard for food, this bamboo bed is just a large enough flat place covered with bamboo, and thick hay is laid on it.For someone who has spent several nights napping in the treetops, this bed is heaven.

Next to it is a small stove built with stones. The design of the stove is very comprehensive, so there is no need to worry about fire hazards.On the small bamboo platform next to it are a row of small utensils, semi-finished weapons, small bamboo knives, bamboo bowls, bamboo chopsticks, and a bunch of mushrooms, dried bamboo shoots and fruits hanging beside the "door".At least, it can be seen that it is a place with a good living environment.He even left a window on the opposite side of the bed, which is actually very simple: instead of covering the place with leaves from the outside, he used a thin vine to pierce a string of very strong long leaves, and opened the window. Then I hung it in the tree house. When I want to open the window, I pull the thin vine away, and when I close the window, I pull the thin vine back.But there is a difference between having and not having it, as if this place is more like home.

As for the convenience, how convenient is it on the tree? He can’t pay attention to the deep mountains and old forests, and he can also apply natural fertilizer to the hard-working big banyan tree ╮(╯▽╰)╭ When I brought the guinea pig back, Li Shizhen also brought some sweet stem tree stalks by the way, which can supplement fiber and vitamins by the way.The sweet-stem tree was named after him. This kind of tree is actually a herbaceous plant. Its stem has peeled off the green hard fiber shell on the outside, and the inside is a thin white soft part, which is very moist and sweet. He observed that many herbivores like to chew these rods. He also tasted some and found them very delicious, similar to sugar cane.Moreover, this kind of tree grows very fast, and it can almost jump out when it rains. He dug a lot of traps from the sidelines of this kind of bush, and he didn't expect to be rewarded today.

He tied the guinea pig firmly, held it by the neck, cut open the carotid artery with a bamboo knife, and let the blood flow out.The hand that put down the bamboo knife quickly lifted the lower body of the guinea pig to prevent it from knocking down the bamboo tube when it struggled.The whole set of movements is smooth and flowing, without procrastination, very skillful.God knows that he has never slaughtered a chicken in modern times, it is really forced by the environment.

At the beginning, he was not familiar with the jungle. He didn’t even know what he could eat as a vegetarian. Even if he could occasionally catch small animals, he didn’t think about bloodletting, but it didn’t take long for him to find that he was dizzy and tired. Think about it Found myself this is obviously a sodium deficiency.There is no sea in this environment, and there is no inland salt lake. Where can he find salt, so he has to ingest it from the blood of animals first.But after all, it is not a long-term solution, tasteless white meat, even if you put bamboo shoots and mushrooms to stew fragrant, or brush the juice to make it shiny, it is okay to eat one or two meals, but if it continues like this, from the heaven of the land of gourmet food People really can't bear it.

He himself lacks salt, so don't the local animals lack salt?Just because he can't find it doesn't mean they can't find it!After all, salt is a necessity. He looked at the guinea pig's eyes that were bled.

But Li Shizhen obviously forgot the lesson. His last necessity was a safe house. For this reason, he unilaterally fought against pitcher plants mentally. If it wasn't for the lovely cooling oil, he would be in the "cage" Turned into a puddle of digestive juices.

I don't know if he has thought about what price he will have to pay for this necessities?
