Chapter 57: Provocation after provocation
These insect eggs should be left by insects in the summer, and when the weather gets hot next year, they will hatch out, and when they think that these things come out of the insects, Tong Chen instantly feels bad.
Talking is better than nothing, after simply eating some worm eggs, Tong Chen continued to move forward with an empty stomach.
Thinking that after being hungry for several days, after which his brain would become hungry because of severe hunger, he would no longer be controlled by his own subjective consciousness, and he would stuff any insects into his mouth, Tong Chen was a little unacceptable, and even very uncomfortable.
Tong Chen's environment here is not only mountains, but also the terrain is undulating, the slope is steep, and there is no sign of anyone walking at all.
On the rugged mountain road, Tong Chen walked while lifting stones to look for insect eggs, he licked his dry lips, his heart couldn't stop worrying, he didn't find anything, and even drinking water became a big problem.
If you don't eat food for two or three meals, it won't be a big problem, but if you can't replenish water in time, then there will be a problem, Tong Chen has a deep understanding before.
After a short period of thought, Tong Chen quickly made a decision, he decided to abandon the established route and change his priority to finding a water source.
If the body is not replenished in time, it will soon lose its mobility, and then there will be no talk of getting out of the wilderness.
It's not so easy to find a water source, if you look for it blindly, it will only be a waste of time and energy, Tong Chen also knows a little about this technique, but he knows that the water flows to a lower place, the lower the terrain, the more likely it is to find a water source in those low-lying areas or potholes.
"Giggles..."
Suddenly there was a crisp gurgling sound, Tong Chen was frightened by the sudden movement, he heard the sound and looked, only to see a big bird's fluttering wings quickly fleeing, he squinted his eyes and took a closer look, and immediately recognized what it was.
"It turned out to be a pheasant, scared me to death", accustomed to being alone and quiet, Tong Chen has not yet shaken his senses at the moment.
Pheasant, famous pheasant, young chicken, is a small amphibian animal, lively, good at running but not good at flying, like to wander foraging, fast running, poor high flying ability, can only fly low distances and can not last.
Tong Chen has seen this kind of bird, likes to steal the crops of farmers, the appearance is relatively beautiful, especially the male, a body of gorgeous feathers, colorful and dazzling, the vigilance is particularly high, as soon as there is a little movement, they will immediately spread their wings and flee.
However, Tong Chen's first reaction was how to catch him, and then fill his stomach.
Fortunately, Tong Chen did not despair, and after searching for a morning, he finally found a small pool of water in the gap between two large stones, which should be a rainy day, and the rainwater flowed into this shady pit.
However, then Tong Chen was in trouble, because the location of this waterhole was relatively hidden, only enough for him to squat and reach in with one hand, and wanted to drink the water with his head down, which was obviously a bit unrealistic, and in the end Tong Chen had to compromise.
He fell to his knees, leaned forward, and used his right hand as a tool for scooping water, scooping out a little bit and drinking it into his mouth.
After replenishing the water, Tong Chen decided to make a fire-making tool, which is more efficient than the traditional method of drilling wood for fire.
This is the bowstring drilling method.
The main difficulty of this method of making fire is that sometimes no ropes are used in the wild, so this method has become an empty word, but Tong Chen decided to make his own ropes this time.
Weaving rope, Tong Chen also played when he was a child, so this is difficult for him, first of all, the raw material is selected to be relatively long and has a certain toughness.
Tong Chen found some shrubs, tore off their skin, and then cut them into strands with stone chips, then twisted them clockwise in one direction in a twisted shape, and finally folded them in half from the middle, pinched one end, and the rope took shape naturally.
The rope was made, and a tough stick was needed to make the bowstring, that is, a branch, and after Tong Chen swept around, he didn't find the familiar willow tree, so he had to retreat and choose the common poplar branch.
Although the poplar branches have lost all their leaves, fortunately they have not completely lost their toughness.
Looking at the waterhole that was finally found, Tong Chen was very reluctant in his heart, but he couldn't be reluctant, he still had to move on and find a way out.
Tong Chen didn't know which direction to go in the right direction, so he could only move forward with his head covered, but after groping forward for more than an hour, Tong Chen collapsed a little.
"Why did you go back to the original place?", Tong Chen carefully checked the surrounding environment, which was exactly where he left before.
Subsequently, Tong Chen did not give up and changed the direction and continued to move forward, more than half an hour later, the person walked with sleepy legs, and returned to the vicinity of the original place, this time Tong Chen was frightened in his heart, he had a strange idea and thought that he had encountered a ghost hitting the wall.
Shaking his head, Tong Chen abandoned this unrealistic fantasy, he slowly calmed down and began to think about the reason.
He had never encountered this kind of accident before, he had always thought that getting lost was to find his way home in a place, but he didn't expect it to happen to him, but he was going around in circles.
Is the terrain circular here? No matter how you go, you will return to the original place? If you have a drone at hand, it would be nice to fly to a high place and see everything.
The sky was getting dark, and Tong Chen didn't want to try again, so he decided to spend the night here today and find a way tomorrow.
Taking advantage of the fact that the sun had not completely set, Tong Chen decided to make some bird traps, and after such a long time, he found that there was very little food to eat here, and there were several kinds of birds, in addition to the pheasants he had seen before, he also encountered a few sparrows from afar, as well as woodpeckers on the trunks, and a kind of bird that Tong Chen could not name, but looked like pigeons.
The most important thing in making a bird trap is the rope, this Tong Chen already has it, and he has woven a lot of it before.
In the countryside, when he was young, Tong Chen often hunted birds in his memory, and the method was very simple, first of all, use a short stick to support the basin-sized bamboo sieve, sprinkle some grain birds love to eat food below, tie a long rope on the stick, people hide in the distance and quietly hold the rope head, patiently waiting for the birds to come and peck at the food, see the birds and birds go to the bamboo screen to cover the range, immediately pull the rope, and catch it.
However, birds are not stupid, they are difficult to catch after being fooled once, and this ancient bird trap also has great limitations, and people usually have to keep an eye on it.
However, Tong Chen was just thinking about it, he didn't have a bamboo sieve by his side, nor did he have such a long rope, so he couldn't set such a trap if he wanted to.
This time he set up a trap that no one guarded,This is still a simple bird trap that Tong Chen learned from watching Brother De on TV,First of all, he found a few elastic branches as the power source of this trap,Use some short branches to form a circle,Insert a branch with a hook in the ground in the fence,Then prepare two suitable branches,One with a bait on it,The bait prepared by Tong Chen is the beetle found under the stone。
The other branch is connected to the rope, and the two are supported by each other, and the rope is also connected to the looper, and the other end of the rope is connected to the springing stick, as long as something triggers the bait, it will definitely be caught in the rope.
Although it seems relatively simple, Tong Chen also thought it was simple before, so he decided to learn, but in fact, he was at home after several repeated exercises before he understood the principle and could master it.
