253. Artificial bird's nest
Seeing that Chen Zhe neatly cut out two bamboo tubes, Liatila asked curiously, "Chen Zhe, what are you going to do here?"
"Of course, it's to survive in the wild from scratch. "We get lost in the woods, we may have to be trapped in this rainforest for a day or two, and the first thing we need to do is to secure the water source, and we can only survive if we find drinking water." ”
Chen Zhe ran from the river to the forest and got lost in the forest, which means that they have no way to find a freshwater river, and the problem of drinking water can only be solved in the forest.
"And how are we going to get water?" asked Liatila.
Chen Zhe handed the sharpened bamboo tube to Liatila and said, "In this way, catch the dew on the grass blades." ”
With that, he put the bamboo tube in his hand close to a rather wide leaf, and then stretched out his hand and gently flicked the blade of grass, and under his play, the water droplets on the blade of grass immediately rolled down the veins of the leaf to the bamboo tube.
The humidity of the air in the rainforest is already high, and now it is the rainy season, and at the temperature of the tropical environment, a large amount of water is distilled into the air and then condensed on the leaves and grass leaves.
So in fact, in the tropical rainforest, the most indispensable thing is drinking water, as long as it takes some time to collect, you can collect pure drinking water resources.
Liatila followed Chen Zhe's example, and also carefully took water from the blades of grass, and after a while, the two of them each collected half a cup of dew.
Chen Zhe ran wildly all the way, and his mouth was a little thirsty, so he directly raised his head and drank half a cup of water in the bamboo tube, and seeing this scene, Liatila pulled Chen Zhe's arm very nervously and said, "Wait...... Doesn't it mean that the raw water in the wild is full of parasites and cannot be drunk directly?"
Chen Zhe smiled lightly, shook his head, and said, "This statement is true for streams and rivers, but the water we collect from grass blades does not have this problem.
The water collected on the blades of grass is distilled, which is the purest type of water and is completely drinkable without any risk of parasites. ”
"That's right......" Liatila suddenly realized, picked up the bamboo tube and began to continue to collect water.
Chen Zhe had other things to do, so he handed his bamboo tube to Liatila.
"Come and fetch water for me, I'll go find a place to build a shelter for the time being. Chen Zhe said.
While it's likely that two people will only be staying in the neighborhood for one night, shelter is also needed, and the rainforest is teeming with life, especially at night.
If you don't have a shelter to protect yourself, then the situation can be very dangerous.
Walking around the nearby woods, Chen Zhe found that there were many types of trees around, and two of them had thick branches that were suitable for building temporary shelters on them.
He didn't rush into action, but took a closer look around the two trees, keeping his eyes on the trees as he tapped the trunk lightly with his blood-drinking knife.
Tuk Tuk ......
Tuk Tuk ......
After knocking several times, Chen Zhe suddenly saw a green "branch" on the branch moving.
If you look closely, what kind of "branches" are there? It is clearly a green snake, the snake's eyes are scarlet color, and the triangular head indicates that it is a highly venomous snake.
At the same time as he discovered it, Chen Zhe's eyes were quick, and he slashed seven inches below the snake's head with a knife.
Zheng ——!
With a sound, the green snake's head was chopped off by Chen Zhe with a knife, and the body of the creeping creature with its head separated from it twisted stubbornly for a while, and then slowly stopped struggling.
Chen Zhe was worried about causing Liatila's discomfort, so he didn't tell her about the horror of encountering a poisonous snake, and after cleaning up the scene briefly, he began to build a temporary shelter for the two of them to spend the night together.
First, cut a few bamboos of uniform thickness, cut them with a blood-drinking knife and cut them with a medium-length bamboo pole, and then use vines to tie these bamboo poles to the branches, crisscrossing to build a concave structure.
Chen Zhe's design is inspired by the bird's nest, and the way the bamboo poles are interspersed is also the same as that of birds, birds are natural designers, they can only use branches and sticks to build a sturdy building structure that cannot be blown down by the wind and rain, and Chen Zhe borrowed from this, but his "nest" also needs to be reinforced by vines.
After a few simple intersperses, a simple shelter similar to a "bird's nest" has begun to take shape, of course, this is only a half-finished product, Chen Zhe has to drag some blades of grass and leaves to spread in the "bird's nest".
Liatila, who was fetching water next to her, came back after completing her task and saw that Chen Zhe had actually built such a shelter on the branches, and she said with some admiration: "Awesome, Chen Zhe, are we going to become birds and sleep on the branches tonight?"
Chen Zhe, who was picking leaves in the distance, responded with a smile: "It's safer to sleep on a tree, at least some beasts that can't climb trees can't hurt us, but this is not foolproof, after all, there are many predators in the forest who are good at climbing trees." ”
Speaking of this, Chen Zhe found another reason to break up Liatila: "Xiaoli, help me find some fluffy weeds to come back, and I will decorate the weeds next to the shelter in a while to increase our concealment." ”
"Okay. By the way, I've collected the water and put it on the ground for you. Liatila said cooperatively, and then turned around and limped to look for weeds.
The wound caused by the black bear is still aching, but Liatila can only endure the pain.
Seeing her strong and stubborn back, Chen Zhe nodded approvingly.
The big star who was pampered two months ago has now grown into a resolute and unyielding female warrior.
After Liatilla left, Chen Zhe looked at his artificial "bird's nest" and began to modify.
After the disappearance of the camera brother, Chen Zhe became much more relaxed, at least he didn't have to worry about his system being discovered by others.
Eyes locked on the bird's nest, the system immediately gave a decision:
[Item detected: A simple bird's nest-shaped shelter.] 】
"Well, the structure is simple, and it seems that the quality of the shelter this time is ...... okay," Chen Zhe smiled and teased himself.
Then, while Liatila hadn't returned, he immediately started to upgrade.
A Simple Bird's Nest Shelter - Upgraded to a Bird's Nest Shelter with a Clever Structure.
The arrangement and interspersing order of the bamboo poles on the branches have been changed simply, and the overall shape looks more rounded, although the appearance does not seem to change much, but the details on the inside have been turned upside down.
This upgrade cost Chen Zhe 300 popularity points, and the next upgrade cost 400 popularity points.
Chen Zhe thought about it and decided to upgrade the shelter again, after all, if you have to sleep with Lia Tila at night, comfort is still very important.
400 popularity points are spent, and the shelter changes.
[A Bird's Nest Shelter] with a Clever Structure - Upgraded - [A Comfortable and Safe Bird's Nest Shelter].
This time, the appearance of the shelter has changed a little, the criss-crossing bamboo poles have become much more symmetrical and beautiful, and the curvature inside is more rounded, even if you lie flat in it, you will not feel panicked.
Seeing this, Chen Zhe nodded with satisfaction, climbed along the trunk of the tree to the shelter, and then spread the leaves neatly in it.
Half an hour later, Liatila, who was looking for weeds, limped back, and at this time, Chen Zhe also laid out the leaves in the shelter and crawled out of the shelter.
After seeing the shelter that had been upgraded by the system, Liatilla asked with some surprise: "Chen Zhe, have you renovated the shelter, why do you feel that this bird's nest is much more round than just now?"
"Of course, we need to renovate and improve to build a qualified shelter. Chen Zhe said with a smile, and then took the weeds in Liatila's hands, and climbed up the branches to block the part around the "bird's nest" with weeds.
In this way, the simple bird's nest-shaped shelter was completed, Chen Zhe sat on the branch and stretched out his hand to Liati, and said, "Come, I'll pull you up." ”
Liatila had long wanted to go into the "bird's nest" to see, she had never lived in such a wonderful tree house, so she immediately walked under the tree, stepping on the trunk of the tree, and dragging Chen Zhe's hand to climb up.
However, because the wound on the thigh had not yet healed, the muscles of the thigh were affected by a slight exertion, and Liatila frowned halfway through the climb, and there was an "ouch" in pain.
Chen Zhe immediately realized that her wound was painful, and quickly leaned down, hugged her tightly, and then looked up and lifted Liatila, who was not too heavy, into the "Bird's Nest".
After Liatila sat down in the shelter, Chen Zhe hurriedly asked her to straighten her thighs, lowered her head and checked, "Let me see if the wound has cracked." ”
"Hmm......" Liatila nodded, obediently placing her leg in front of Chen Zhe.
Chen Zhe took a look and saw that there was no new blood oozing out of the white cotton strip, which showed that Liatila's wound was not serious, and it was not cracked because of climbing a tree.
"It's not bad, don't worry. Chen Zhe smiled and comforted.
"That's good. Liatila breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she looked around the surroundings and felt it in the bird's nest-shaped shelter, and she said happily: "Chen Zhe, this new shelter is very good, it feels more interesting than the tent that fans rewarded me, although it is a little harder, but it is more interesting." ”
"Thank you for the compliment. Chen Zhe smiled at her and responded.
Looking up again, I saw that the sky was gradually starting to darken, indicating that night was coming, and this was the most dangerous time in the rainforest.
Chen Zhe did not stay in the shelter to rest, but jumped off the tree with a blood-drinking knife.
Liatila was curious: "Chen Zhe, why are you going?"
"I'm going to find some necessities. Chen Zhe responded, and then walked quickly into the distance.
In the shelter, Liatila naturally couldn't chase after her because of her inconvenient legs, so she could only sit in the "bird's nest" and wait quietly, boredly playing with branches and leaves.
But there's something different about the laid-back environment, which the star has never experienced before......
......
After Chen Zhe got off the tree, he walked all the way to the woods in the distance.
During the journey, he first cut off a bamboo, cut the knots to make a bamboo tube, and found a strange-looking tree, and then slashed the trunk of the tree with a blood-drinking knife.
After a while, the trunk of this big tree was cut out of a deep gap by Chen Zhe, in which there was green sap slowly flowing out, Chen Zhe hurriedly handed over the bamboo tube, clinging to the trunk to pick up the sap flowing out of the trunk, about five or six minutes, the sap filled Chen Zhe's bamboo tube.
After filling the tree with sap, Chen Zhe put away his saber and turned back to the shelter, where Liatila was lying in the nest, admiring the nearby scenery.
Seeing Chen Zhe coming back, Liatila leaned up and asked curiously, "Why did you go?"
"Here, take this first. Chen Zhe said as he handed the bamboo tube to Liatilla.
Liatila took it and saw that the bamboo tube was full of some green liquid.
"What is this?" she asked, and then speculated in her head, "Is it freshly squeezed juice?" ”
After saying that, she leaned over to taste it, but as soon as she got close to the green liquid, a pungent smell filled her nostrils.
"Ah......h
Liatila stepped back in disgust, keeping her distance from the strange liquid in the bamboo tube, and said in disgust,
"What is this? Why does it smell so bad?"
At this time, Chen Zhe had already climbed into the "bird's nest", and he said with a smile: "This is the sap of the mille-feuille, not the juice of fruits and vegetables, and it cannot be drunk." ”
"The ...... of the Melaleuca Sap?" Liatila asked, blankly, "What are you doing with these things?"
Chen Zhe did not rush to explain, but reached out and dipped it in the bamboo tube, dipped it so that his hands were full of green tree sap, and smeared it on his face and neck.
Liatila looked stupid and said in shock: "Chen Zhe, are you crazy?"
Chen Zhe smiled and didn't speak, and suddenly wiped Liatila's face with his backhand.
The green melaleuca sap spilled onto Liatila's face, making the big star a mess.
"Hey, hey, hey...... It's too much. Liatila frowned, "What the hell are you doing?"
Chen Zhe smiled and said: "Fool, this is anti-mosquito, the branches of the mille-feuille tree have a strong smell, which can help you avoid mosquito bites."
Normally, I use the method of igniting the leaves of the mille-feuille tree to disperse mosquitoes, but the humidity in the woods during the rainy season is too high, and we don't carry dry firewood, so we can't light the fire. There is no way to light a fire, and there is no way to ignite the leaves of the mille-feuille.
In this case, we can only apply the sap of the mille-feuille tree to the body as the effect of the flower water, and without these sap, once bitten by poisonous insects, the two of us will hang. ”
Hearing this, Liatila suddenly realized that Chen Zhe had his considerations.
However, looking at the green and unpleasant liquid on Chen Zhe's fingers, Liatila couldn't help but ask, "But...... Is there only one way to defend against mosquitoes? Don't we have any other way?"
Chen Zhe smiled lightly and replied, "Of course, there is another way - that is, to learn from wild boars and smear mud on your body. Xiaoli, you can choose for yourself, do you want to smear the silt or the sap of the mille-feuille?"
