Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, and not only because of the fear of snakes at night.

Whew......

A wolf howl made everyone's spirits even more nervous, although judging from the sound that the wolf was far away from us, but for safety reasons, we decided to sleep in a tree.

Hanging on a tree like a monkey, people who don't have the experience of sleeping in a tree can't sleep.

Because they were worried about falling all the time, I didn't have that much to worry about.

"I seriously suspect that you have monkey genes in your body. ”

Nie Chunxian looked at me lying on the trunk of the tree, I don't know whether it was admiration or psychology, and said such a sentence.

"Stop making a fuss, sleep, good night. ”

It took me a lot of energy to drill wood for a fire, but now I can't wait to rest to regain my strength.

Even if I heard a wolf howl in my ears from time to time, I could fall asleep.

Under the pressure of hunger and cold, I woke up in the middle of the night, Nie Chunxian was on the trunk of the tree next to me, and I could vaguely see her curled up with some trembling.

The night was really cold, so I took off my coat and put it over her.

"It's cold. ”

As soon as the coat was over her, I heard these two words come out of her mouth, and it seemed that she was cold and couldn't sleep.

I moved and pulled her over and let her sleep in my arms.

She didn't resist, I could feel her body a little cold, and I couldn't help but hug her a little tighter.

The night was so long that I fell asleep in a daze.

"Wake up. ”

I don't know how long it took me to feel someone talking in my ear, and the heat tickled my face.

When I opened my eyes, I found that the sky was already dark, and Nie Chunxian, who was holding in my arms, was looking at me with a slightly red face, and it turned out that my hand was still tightly wrapped around her waist.

The two of them are very close, and you can clearly feel the soft touch on your chest......

To be honest, I didn't feel comfortable spending the night in the trees, and now I feel a sore back, probably because I haven't exercised for too long.

Xiaoqian and the others are even more uncomfortable, some of them haven't even slept all night, and now they all have a dark circle under their eyes.

That's right, I'm afraid I can't sleep peacefully in that situation last night.

After dawn, the temperature rose, not so cold, to the pool of water to wash the face, no sleepiness is gone.

During this time, due to the lack of water, everyone had not taken a decent bath, and the hair of Nie Chunxian's girls was a little knotted.

Nie Chunxian dipped his right hand in water and used his fingers as a comb to comb his hair, but I smelled a smell of sweat last night, not only my own but also Nie Chunxian's.

But there's nothing to dislike, everyone is some.

"How did you sleep last night?"

Nie Chunxian nodded and said, "It's too cold at night here, I survived last night, and if there is no fire to warm up, I'm afraid that someone will freeze to death in a few days." ”

It's a problem, but it's a bit difficult to drill wood for a fire here, and it looks like I'll have to change the way I make a fire.

There are wild fruits in the forest, Xiaoqian and the others went to pick some and came back to satisfy everyone's hunger, and after eating, they had to build a shelter.

I found bamboo in the woods.

"Bamboo is a hardware store in nature that can provide us with shelter and food and even weapons. ”

I touched a piece of bamboo, and it was unevenly thick, as thick as a human calf and as thin as a thumb.

"Little Brother Su, are you going to build a tent with bamboo?"

"Yes, you lead someone to chop the bamboo first. I'll try something else to start a fire. ”

The co-captain nodded, building shelter and lighting a fire were both crucial things at the moment.

There will be blazing sunlight during the day, and I think I can use the sunlight to focus on the fire, but there is no magnifying glass.

But there will always be a way.

Among the supplies I had brought was an empty beer bottle, which I planned to use to make a convex lens.

What is needed is the round part at the bottom of the bottle, but it is not easy to remove it, so I have to think of a good way to get the complete round glass piece.

"Pure Immortal, look for nails. ”

Nie Chunxian rummaged through the supplies he brought and found a nail the length of his middle finger.

"No, here you go. ”

Taking the nail handed over by Nie Chunxian, I put its sharp part into the bottle face down, and then slowly shook the beer bottle in my hand up and down.

The purpose of this is to use inertia to make the nail hit the bottom of the bottle, but only to the edge of the circular area.

The stress area should be constantly changed, and the bottle should be rotated every five or six times.

"What are you doing here?, aren't you going to make a fire?"

Nie Chunxian was a little curious.

"I'm going to make a convex lens to focus the fire, which is not very suitable for drilling wood for fire. ”

I'm afraid it will take an hour for the piece at the bottom of the bottle to fall, so I asked Nie Chunxian to do this, and I have to take someone to find some firewood.

Although dry firewood is hard to find, the raw ones become dry when exposed to the sun.

When the time comes, if it doesn't work to focus on fire, continue to drill wood for fire.

"Be careful when you gather firewood, there may be snakes in the woods. ”

"Got it!"

An hour and a half later, Nie Chunxian came running to look for me. It turned out that the round piece at the bottom of the bottle had come down.

"Is that okay?"

I took the glass and looked at it, and said, "Not yet, you polish it and make it thinner at the edges,"

"But what am I going to polish?"

I thought for a moment and said, "I saw pebbles at the edge of the pool this morning, and you can use them to polish them." ”

Women are more careful and patient, so let her do this kind of thing, I'm afraid that I will accidentally break it myself.

After all, the glass bottle is gone......

At noon, the convex lens was ready, and it happened that Lie Yan was in the air at this time, and it was just time to try to focus on the fire.

After putting the ignition away, I set up the convex lens, adjusted the appropriate height and waited silently.

This kind of convex lens made by myself is a bit different from a real magnifying glass, and I think it will take a little longer to ignite the fire.

Nie Chunxian also waited a little apprehensively, this convex lens was made by herself, and she had tried several times to drill wood for fire but had not succeeded.

She would be happy if the focus was successful.

While I waited, I went to see how the vice-captain's situation was doing.

About seventy or eighty bamboos had been piled up in the clearing, and the deputy captain wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Little Brother Su, the bamboo is almost enough. How should this shelter be built?"

The air in the woods is humid and predators are infested at night, so it is best to sleep off the ground.

Looking at these bamboos, I began to think in my heart.

If we want to survive for the long term, we need a strong and reliable shelter that can block both wind and rain, and the space is as small as possible to keep us warm.
