223. Go home
Leisurely evening.
On the volcano of the island.
The flood had receded for a day and a night, but the forest was still wet, and Yan'er and Xiao Qiao carefully climbed down from the tree house to check the damage around them.
"It seems that the flood has no effect on our area, and the higher terrain is really advantageous. "There is no standing water on the ground, and the flood has gone down the mountain." ”
"Nariatila and her partner must be miserable, they are staying in the camp below the hill where we used to live, and the terrain is sure to be waterlogged. Little Joe said.
After that, I couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Chen Zheke was really prescient and decisively moved to the mountain, otherwise we would be the one who will suffer the disaster now......"
As soon as she heard Chen Zhe's name, Yan'er's brows furrowed slightly.
"I don't know where Brother Xiao Chen is now, he's been away for so long, it's time to come back, right?"
"Maybe they were trapped under the mountain by the flood, but now there must be an ocean at the foot of the mountain, and Chen Zhe and his sister may not be able to come back in time. Little Joe said.
Compared with Yan'er, who likes to worry about others, Xiao Qiao is an optimist, she is not worried about the safety of Chen Zhe and Da Qiao at all, and she has no anxiety at all.
"By the way, Yan'er, let's pick up some firewood, I see that the dry firewood in the camp is almost finished, and we need to dry some new dry firewood quickly. ”
Dry firewood in the rainy season is very rare and must be obtained by repeatedly drying and baking natural wood.
Yan'er hurriedly put aside her concern for Chen Zhe for the time being, and went to pick up some branches nearby with Xiao Qiao.
Cut off the fresh, watery leaves from the branches, drain them next to the trunk, wait until the water is drained, split them with a knife, wipe the surface with silk hides, and finally carry them to the tree house to dry.
This kind of firewood is easier to ignite, and can be lit in the rainforest with high humidity, and the dry wood that Chen Zhe and Da Qiao lit on the beach was also processed in the same way in the mountains before.
After disposing of the firewood, Yan'er and Xiao Qiao lit the bonfire.
Night is approaching, and darkness will envelop all around.
Although the two girls have experienced two months of wilderness training, they are still timid and uneasy in their hearts, especially when there is no protection from Chen Zhe, a boy, the light of the bonfire can bring them some slight comfort.
A campfire was lit, and the two climbed back into the treehouse.
Yan'er cut two slices of ham with a sharp wasteland knife, handed Xiao Qiao a slice, and kept a slice for herself.
The two of them ate with relish, and their eyes drifted to the rainforest outside.
"Sister Xiao Qiao, do you think they can come back tomorrow?"
Yan'er's heart was still thinking about Chen Zhe and Da Qiao, and the content of her speech did not deviate from this.
"Who knows, almost. Xiao Qiao replied perfunctorily.
"Sister Xiao Qiao, if they don't come back, won't you worry about them?" Yan'er couldn't help but ask again.
"Worried about them, worried about what?" Xiao Qiao asked ignorantly, then patted his thigh and said, "I know, Yan'er, are you worried that the two of them have eloped!
"Huh?" Yan'er was shocked by Xiao Qiao Qingqi's brain circuit.
What she said was worried about what danger Chen Zhe and Da Qiao would encounter and what harm they would suffer.
Xiao Qiao said that he was worried, but he was worried that Chen Zhe and Da Qiao would elope and abandon her and Yan'er.
At this time, the more Xiao Qiao thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and said depressedly: "I have long found out that my sister is interesting to Chen Zhe, and she always wants to tease him openly and secretly, and Chen Zhe always thinks that I am a burden, and he especially dislikes me......
Oops, these two people must have hit it off right now, embarrassed, dry firewood, and wandering the world...... They eloped!
Yan'er was speechless for a while, and said with a smile: "Sister Xiao Qiao, don't use idioms indiscriminately......"
Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly saw two familiar figures appear in the woods in the distance by the light of the campfire.
The figure walking in front is slender and slim.
The figure walking behind is tall and sturdy, with a long figure......
Isn't that exactly Chen Zhe and Da Qiao back?
"Brother Xiao Chen! Brother Xiao Chen!"
Yan'er stood up from the treehouse and poked her head out of the window to wave and shout.
Xiao Qiao was taken aback by Yan'er's sudden excitement, and immediately looked out the window, muttering, "No, you can't help but chatter, and you came back just after saying a few words?"
Soon, Chen Zhe and Da Qiao had already approached the camp, and at this time, Yan'er and Xiao Qiao could clearly see their faces and figures.
The two men hurriedly put down the ham in their hands and climbed out of the tree house and went down to the ground.
Yan'er happily ran towards Chen Zhe, the separation in the past few days had made her miss Chen Zhe very much.
And although Xiao Qiao said "don't worry about them" and "don't worry about them", she also subconsciously greeted her after seeing her sister.
"Sister!"
Xiao Qiao hugged Da Qiao's arm and shouted sweetly first.
Seeing his silly sister, Da Qiao was also very happy, pinched her nose, and said, "Silly girl, you haven't been in trouble these days, have you?"
"How can someone as strict as me get into trouble?" Xiao Qiao Tian said shamelessly, and then suddenly said coquettishly, "Hmph, you haven't come back for so long, I thought you two eloped!"
"Elopement, elopement?" Da Qiao was speechless for a while, where is this?
"Don't be kidding, what am I eloping?" said Big Joe, blushing and disgusted.
Xiao Qiao smiled evilly, and asked in a strange whisper: "Sister, tell me the truth, have you and Chen Zhe been lonely and widowed in the past few days, have there been some ulterior things...... Huh?"
was asked by his sister like this, Da Qiao's face turned red instantly.
Because the jellyfish and sea cucumbers by the sea have left her with some red-faced memories.
But of course, she wouldn't tell her sister about these shameful things, so she quickly coughed and covered up: "What is the ulterior thing...... Don't be cranky, nothing happened to either of us!
Besides, there is also a camera brother, we are not alone!"
"Cut, I don't believe it. Xiao Qiao pointed to her sister's red face and said, "If nothing really happened, why are you blushing?"
"You ......"
Da Qiao was speechless for a while.
This girl usually looks stupid, how did she become smart at such a time?
And the other side.
After seeing Chen Zhe, Yan'er did not shy away from throwing herself into his arms.
"Brother Xiao Chen, you are back. ”
Chen Zhe smiled lightly, hugged Yan'er and said, "Do you miss me?"
"Hmm. Yan'er nodded, but her cheeks turned red when she acknowledged.
"Why have you been there for so long?" she said with some annoyance, "you're not hurt, are you?
"Rest assured, I'm not hurt. When the flash flood broke out, Mengyun and I were sheltering from the rain on the beach, and the flood did not spread to the beach, so we were not affected. Chen Zhe replied.
Yan'er nodded reassuringly, and then suddenly noticed that Chen Zhe had a few vines tied to his body.
"Huh?" Yan'er asked with some curiosity, "Brother Xiao Chen, this vine is ......?"
Then she looked back along the vines, and the little girl screamed in fright at this look.
"Ah——! there's a crocodile! there's a crocodile!"
"What, how can there be crocodiles?" Xiao Qiao was also frightened, and hurriedly looked around vigilantly.
Yan'er pointed to Chen Zhe's back and said, "That's ...... There. ”
Xiao Qiao glanced at it, and saw that there was indeed a crocodile behind Chen Zhe, who was looking at her with a pair of empty eyes.
"Wow...... Chen Zhe, why are you carrying a crocodile up the mountain!" Xiao Qiao asked in horror.
"What are you afraid of, it's dead, it won't hurt you. Chen Zhe explained calmly, "This is the crocodile we killed when we rescued Liatilla, since we have killed all of them, of course we have to bring back the loot." ”
"Huh, rescue Liatila, the crocodile you killed?"
"It's a long story, I'll tell you back to the treehouse later. Chen Zhe said.
Da Qiao also nodded: "Come, Meng Fei, help move the sea salt and crocodile first, Chen Zhe is already very hard, hurry up and let him rest."
Yan'er, do you have anything to eat? Give Chen Zhe a little more energy. ”
"Of course there is......" Yan'er nodded hurriedly and went to the tree house to cut a few slices of ham and serve them to Chen Zhe.
Big Joe and Little Joe put the sea salt, crocodiles, and other harvests on the treehouse.
After a few days of separation, the four were finally reunited.
Under the light of the warm and bright bonfire, the four of them were busy with content and happiness, and the rainforest returned to tranquility at night, while the sound of Chen Zhe and their laughter was sent into the distance with the evening breeze......
……
Because of the day's journey, Chen Zhe and Da Qiao returned to the tree house, simply ate something and rested.
The night was a sound and restful night's sleep, accompanied by the cries of wild beasts in the distant woods.
When I woke up the next day, it was raining lightly outside the window, although it was not a sunny day, but this rain did not affect everyone's travel.
Chen Zhe was the first to get up, and after getting up, he began to deal with the caiman he hunted yesterday.
During the rainy season, the island climate is hot and humid, and crocodiles can easily rot if not treated in time.
Using a blood-drinking knife to disembowel the caiman, Chen Zhe first peeled off the intact crocodile skin.
Crocodile leather is a very precious leather product, known as the gold of leather, and many first-line luxury bags have classic models of crocodile leather.
However, the skin used to make leather bags is the soft outer skin of the crocodile's abdomen, and the outer skin of the crocodile's back is too hard to make a leather bag or clothes.
Although it cannot be made into a luxury product, this kind of skin has a more important function for Chen Zhe, that is, it is used to make armor.
Now that the camp has been relocated to the rainforest, it is natural that it is indispensable to deal with wild animals, and the forest is full of unstoppable wild animals, and it is not surprising that some predators will emerge from the grass on the branches.
In such a situation, if you can use crocodile skin to create a strong and tough armor, it is still very important to improve the ability to survive in the wild.
Just like yesterday when Clark and Caiman were in hand-to-hand combat, if Clark was wearing an armor made of crocodile skin, then if Leng Ding was bitten by a crocodile, maybe the armor could resist the crocodile's sharp teeth.
Thinking of this, Chen Zhe said that he would do it, first peeled off the crocodile skin intact and hung it on the branches to dry, and then began to think about making a pair of armor from crocodile skin.
After being busy for a while, Da Qiao and Yan'er got up one after another, and the two of them came over curiously when they saw Chen Zhe drawing on the dirt with a branch, as if he was designing some clothes.
"Chen Zhe, what are you studying?"
"That's right, Brother Xiao Chen, how do you think you seem to be designing clothes? Is this a vest?"
Chen Zhe smiled and replied, "I'm designing a set of armor." ”
"Armor?"
Both girls were a little surprised.
Da Qiao said: "What kind of armor? The kind of armor worn by ancient soldiers?"
"No, crocodile armor is just a lighter, more ordinary kind that can be worn on the body to resist the bite of fierce beasts. Chen Zhe said.
Big Joe nodded, and then said thoughtfully: "I see, did you see Clark and the crocodile in hand-to-hand combat yesterday, and thought that the situation was very dangerous at that time, and Clark was almost bitten by a crocodile, so he wanted to create a set of armor on a whim?"
Chen Zhe didn't expect Da Qiao to be so smart and actually say through his thoughts.
He nodded, "Yes, we live in the rainforest, and most of the beasts migrate to the rainforest to escape the flood during the rainy season, so our situation is actually very dangerous.
It's fine to live in a treehouse, but once you're out and there's no defense, it's dangerous if you encounter a beast.
Crocodile skin is tough and strong, which can resist the bite of some wild beasts, improving our survivability. ”
Da Qiao and Yan'er both nodded.
"It's safer. ”
"That's right, and the crocodile pattern looks so domineering, this kind of armor must be very cool to wear, and ordinary beasts don't dare to approach us......"
Chen Zhe smiled, and then pointed to the skinned crocodile and said: "By the way, the crocodile has been processed, you two will take out the meat and roast it and eat it in a while, crocodile meat is not conducive to long-term preservation, it is best to eat it up in these two days." ”
"Okay, I'll get it now. Yan'er said obediently.
Da Qiao also got up and said, "I'm going to help too." ”
However, before helping, Da Qiao glanced back at Xiao Qiao, who was still sleeping in the camp, and frowned: "This big lazy worm, after coming to the island for so long, he still hasn't gotten rid of his lazy sleep...... I think I was away the other day, and no one cares about you. ”
After saying that, Da Qiao turned around and walked towards Xiao Qiao, stretching out his white palm to slap him.
Smack——!
Immediately after that, Little Joe's wail rang out in the treehouse.
"Ah——!hh——!h
