Chapter 26: The Long Wait

Looking at the thumb-sized wild fruit in his hand, think about it or forget it, it's better not to eat it if it's something you don't know, in case of poisoning, it will be too unjust.

I couldn't eat anything on the mountain, so I had to think about the water, and I looked around the river for a while, and found that a few small fish swam in it from time to time.

The creek is not deep or wide, but now that I don't have the tools, I use the same way I used to catch fish when I was a child.

A shallow channel was dug along the river bank at 45 degrees, and a pit half a meter square was dug to a position of about half a meter, so that as long as fish swam in, they could not get out.

To increase the chances of success, I dug every two meters, for a total of five traps. If it weren't for the pain in my hands, I'd like to do more.

The rest is Jiang Taigong's fishing, and the wisher is hooked. After that, I walked along the valley floor for an hour, but I couldn't find any caves or anything like that, so I had to go back the way I came.

As soon as I walked back to my original position, I saw a snake in front of Wang Zhiqing spitting out a letter and looking at her.

Wang Zhiqing was holding some dead branches in her hands, obviously not noticing, still walking towards the snake.

I quickly shouted, "Don't move!"

Wang Zhiqing was taken aback by me, but she still stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"

Now she was less than two meters away from the snake, and I knew it was a venomous snake when I looked at the snake's slightly inverted triangular head.

It clearly sensed threatened, its neck raised, its head tilted back slightly, ready to attack.

I raised my hand and whispered while gesticulating, "Move lightly, slowly step back, there's a poisonous snake in front of you!"

I really regret adding the last sentence, Wang Zhiqing shouted "ah" when she heard it, and she turned around and ran away as soon as she threw the dead branch.

Her movements seemed to give the viper a signal to attack, and the snake's head swooped into her calf and took a bite. I didn't even have half a second, I couldn't react at all.

I hurried over and tossed the snake by the tail and threw it to the ground a few times until the snake's head was rotten, and then I tossed it aside.

Wang Zhiqing was bitten, and fell to the ground with an "ah", so frightened that she burst into tears.

I hurried over and lifted her pants to look. Fortunately, the jeans she was wearing were slightly blocked, but they still bit the skin.

I'm not sure if the viper had already released the venom, just in case, or if it had brought the tow rope and stuck it above her wound to slow down the flow of blood and slow down the spread of the venom.

I looked at the two small wounds on her calves and said, "I watched on TV that I had to suck the poison out of my mouth when I was bitten by a poisonous snake, and I didn't know if it would work, but it never hurt to try." ”

With tears in her eyes, she asked, "I'm not going to die, am I?"

To be honest, there are many species of venomous snakes, some of which can kill people in a few minutes, but most of them are in the tropics. I don't know how venomous the poisonous snakes are in the mountains of the mainland.

But in order to comfort her, I said, "No, don't worry, there are no lethal poisonous snakes in China." ”

After saying that, I took a deep breath and sucked hard into her wound, but the blood that could be sucked out was very limited, and all the marks on her wound were spurted.

The rest is left to fate, although I heard that there must be herbs around the poisonous snake infested with snake poison. First, we don't know if it's true or not, and second, I don't know if there's one.

I helped Wang Zhiqing to sit on the mountain wall, there are no weeds around here, there are mostly stones, and the field of vision is relatively wide, and no matter what danger there is, it can be found in time.

Then I went to the puddle I dug and saw what I was up to. There are really not many fish in this river, so for such a long time, only one has entered each of the two pits, neither of which is more than a handful of length, but it is better than nothing.

The next thing is to find a way to make a fire, and you can't eat it raw. Fortunately, Wang Zhiqing picked up a lot of dead branches and dead grass before.

I found a straight branch and sharpened it with a stone. He found a relatively soft and thick branch, and put a relatively intact bark on the bottom, and made a bird's nest out of withered grass on it.

After that, I kept using this thin branch to drill that thick branch, just like playing with bamboo dragonflies when I was a child. After drilling for about half an hour, the hole where the soft thick branches were drilled has turned black.

This is the beginning of success, because these wood chips have been carbonized. After another half an hour of drilling, the black chips had noticeably increased, and I began to drill as fast as I could.

Wood chips kept falling into the "bird's nest" and began to smoke. When the smoke grows bigger, I fold the nest so that the sawdust is wrapped in the middle and blow gently. After blowing a dozen times, suddenly the flames came out.

I'm glad I love to watch wilderness survival, and I learned some wilderness survival skills with Bell University, and fire is so important to us now.

I skewered two small fish on a wet branch and roasted them on the fire, but the fish was too small to be placed directly on the open flame, so I had to stick to the bottom of the fire and use the temperature of the fire to roast slowly.

After about 20 minutes, the fish was already golden brown on both sides, making a sizzling sound. We haven't eaten for more than a day, Wang Zhiqing walked over, squatted next to her and stared without blinking, it seemed that the snake venom was fine.

I saw that it was almost done, so I took it away from the fire. Wang Zhiqing stared at the fish in my hand, and her stomach growled. I looked at her, and there was a begging look in her eyes, but she didn't speak.

I looked at her pitiful appearance, and I really couldn't match the appearance of the little witch I had just met.

I handed her a larger one and said, "Eat." ”

She took it, turned around and began to gulp. While burning Suo Suohaha, he swallowed it down, and he was really hungry.

I picked it up and blew it, and then I bit and ate it, and I didn't even want to vomit, but chewed hard in my mouth until it was dregs.

The two small fish can't eat enough, but it's just a little comfort to the stomach. Suddenly remembering that there seemed to be a poisonous snake, he stoned its head, peeled it and washed it in the river, and then roasted it.

At first, Wang Zhiqing was a little scared, but when she saw that I took two bites, she had the courage to take a bite, and the result was that her eyes lit up. The two of us took one bite and ate the snake again, and Wang Zhiqing could be regarded as revenge.

After finally eating the first meal in so long, Wang Zhiqing was worried again: "We won't be trapped here forever, we can't help but live this life forever." ”

I said, "Don't worry, you've been missing for so long, your parents won't leave you alone, they must be looking for us everywhere now." ”

That's why I'm not panicking now, but I don't know how long it will take for them to find us, after all, it's densely wooded, and it's really hard to find two people.

The only thing to do now is to stay alive and wait in peace.

I said to Wang Zhiqing: "Take advantage of the dawn now, pick up more branches, and you won't have to be frozen at night." ”

Wang Zhiqing nodded and said, "Okay." Then he dragged a wounded leg and went to pick up a branch. Seeing her like this, my opinion of this rich lady has changed a lot.

I took a thick twig and went to dig the fishing pit again. If they don't find us tomorrow, it's definitely not enough for two people.

In this way, the two of us worked until the evening, and we were tired, and the little things we ate during the day were not enough to consume. However, I dug ten more pits, and the branches that Wang Zhiqing picked up were piled up more than half a person high.

I said, "Alright, it's almost, you can rest for a while, we have to take turns on duty tonight, and we can't let this fire go out." ”

Wang Zhiqing listened to me very much now, curled up to the side and closed her eyes to rest. With the fire we are in a much better position than we were yesterday, at least we don't have to freeze.

I kept my eyes on the fire, not too big and not so bad that it would go out. Almost in the second half of the night, I couldn't stay up a little bit, so I called Wang Zhiqing up and said, "If you keep an eye on the meeting, I can't stand it anymore." ”

Wang Zhiqing rubbed her eyes, yawned, and said, "You can sleep quickly, leave this to me." ”

I closed my eyes and felt like I fell asleep in less than a minute.

The next day, I was woken up by the rumbling sound, and I saw that Wang Zhiqing didn't know when she fell asleep, the fire had been extinguished, and only a few red dots that occasionally lit up were still struggling.

I looked up and saw that there was a helicopter hovering around my head, and I was overjoyed, this must have been sent by Wang Tiannan.

I quickly waved my hand and shouted, "We're here!

It's a pity that the helicopter can't hear it at all. Wang Zhiqing also woke up when she heard my shout, and jumped up happily when she saw the helicopter: "Ah! My dad is coming to me!"

I was very anxious, and suddenly I saw the fire that was about to be extinguished, and quickly said to Wang Zhiqing: "Quick, light the fire, and they can see it!"

We hurriedly ran to the fire, put hay on and kept blowing, and I kept an eye on the helicopter as I blew. You may not notice it for a while, and it has already begun to fly away into the distance, if you miss it, you won't know the Year of the Monkey next time.

I was sweating with sweat on my head, when the flames finally lit again, but unfortunately the helicopter was also fading away.

Wang Zhiqing was so anxious that she was already crying: "Woo woo, what should I do? We are two big living people, they can't see it." ”

I said, "Don't cry, take the branches to the riverbank." Saying that, I didn't care about her, picked up a bunch of branches and ran to the shore.

Wang Zhiqing saw that although she didn't know what I was going to do, she still helped move together.

When it was almost time to move, I took the branch of the fire and lit it all.

When the fire grew bigger, I jumped into the river, put my hands together in a spoon shape, and poured water into the fire.

After a while, the fire was extinguished, and I quickly stopped. In an instant, billowing smoke rose into the sky, straight into the sky.
