Chapter 5: The First Wilderness Survival
Tong Chen didn't know how many sweet and sour apricots he had eaten, in short, he didn't stop eating until he couldn't eat them.
Tong Chen sat on the soft grass under the apricot tree, in a daze, not knowing what to think, and suddenly he remembered an important thing: the weather was already dark, where could he sleep on the first night, just lie on the ground and sleep? That's not good, not to mention dirty, it must be very cold at night.
Tong Chen thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with a way to satisfy him, and when he reacted, he had already found that the sky was completely dark
Come.
Tong Chen didn't think of it, but when he thought that he didn't have any tools at hand, and that it was a complicated project, Tong Chen had a headache when he thought about it.
complained left and right for a long time, and the helpless Tong Chen lay directly on the ground.
What is going on? What have you done that day? It's really an unforeseen situation, and people have good and bad luck.
Thinking about it, Tong Chen slowly fell asleep with the sky as the ground as a bunk.
"Ugh"
When he woke up again, Tong Chen was not woken up by the cold, although the weather temperature dropped a lot compared to the daytime, but he was woken up by the stomach that turned over the river and the sea.
Enduring the strong discomfort, Tong Chen ran to the side with his stomach in his arms to solve it.
So far, since he woke up, Tong Chen has not fallen asleep again, and he can't wait for half an hour, he has to solve it again, and the cold weather is even worse.
must have eaten too many apricots, Tong Chen remembered that the old people used to say: You can't be greedy for apricots, otherwise you will have a stomach.
The next morning, Tong Chen got up very early, and he estimated that he should have never gotten up so early.
Today's top priority is to make a nest for himself first, Tong Chen doesn't want to think about last night's painful experience.
Tong Chen is a man of action, and once he thinks about it, he will immediately give it action.
There were not only apricot trees at the top of the mountain, but also poplars and some pine trees everywhere, and Tong Chen took great pains to get three thicker branches, then erected them in a triangle and tied the intersection at the top with poplar bark.
The framework was set up like this, Tong Chen didn't know how long he had used, he didn't eat anything more, because Tong Chen knew very well that once he ate it, he would definitely have diarrhea again, and when he was really thirsty, he walked to the river not far away to drink a few sips of river water.
Then Tong Chen slowly draped the triangular frame with the thin branches that were broken off from the thick branches, I don't know how long it was, in short, Tong Chen rested when he was tired, and finally his triangular house was finally completed.
Tong Chen carefully observed his own works, and his heart was very satisfied.
No, there is too much gap left underneath, Tong Chen looked at the bottom of the triangular house and commented, because the length of the branches is uneven, some have touched the ground, and some are still far away.
Thinking that Tong Chen picked some weeds and blocked the gaps, he even repaired the gaps at the top.
I'm afraid it's still a bit inappropriate, so you should make a fire so that you can warm up and sleep well at night.
Thinking of drilling wood to make fire, Tong Chen was a little eager to try, he had only seen it in books or TV before, and it was not very difficult.
Tong Chen said just do it, he found two branches, one thick and one thin, and then used a stone to cut a small hole in the thick branch, and then he stepped on the branch with both feet, and stood the thin branch in the small hole, and turned it back and forth with both palms.
Of course, he also wanted to find a plank, but the conditions were limited, and he could only pick up what to use.
After drilling for a few minutes, nothing happened, and Tong Chen's hands were hot and painful, and after resting for a while, Tong Chen tried several times, but the result was nothing.
Is it so simple to drill wood for fire? Of course not, Tong Chen didn't even figure out the simplest drilling method, let alone the selection of materials.
Tong Chen gave up for the time being, watching the sun gradually set, Tong Chen knew that another day had passed.
Tong Chen didn't eat anything that day, but his stomach was still not good, and he was still uncomfortable, and he was already exhausted.
Tong Chen got into his own triangular house, fell and fell asleep.
This night, Tong Chen slept a little stronger than last night, but it was not strong, how could Tong Chen fall asleep completely with an empty stomach.
On the third day, seeing that there were still twenty hours left in the countdown on the black and white display, Tong Chen breathed a sigh of relief, the first task was finally over, it was not easy.
I have to eat something today for diarrhea, compared to Tong Chen's ruddy face at the beginning, now his face is pale and bloodshot in the dark circles.
Grabbing a few apricots in his hand, Tong Chen ate them as he walked, he decided to go around, and since he found the apricot tree, he hadn't walked far.
"Hey, what is that?", suddenly Tong Chen saw that there was a tree in front of him with fruits that were obviously dozens of times larger than apricots, he was slow for a while and did not react, when he saw the leaves that were also very large, and after walking a few steps quickly, he saw the target clearly.
"Oh, it turned out to be a peach, it's so lucky", Tong Chen said, a smile appeared on his face, but he didn't have the excitement that he had when he met Apricot.
If there is a person who understands medicine by Tong Chen's side, he will know that his consciousness is already a little dull and depressed, which is not a good sign.
The peach tree did not grow as low as the apricot tree, and Tong Chen flew a lot of effort to climb the tree, picked a few peaches and threw them on the ground.
Eating the peach in his hand, Tong Chen didn't wipe it, the juice in his mouth flowed, and the sweet taste made Tong Chen feel a moment of joy.
After Tong Chen ate two in a row, he lay directly on the ground in a large shape, looking directly at the blue sky, the sun shone through the leaves on Tong Chen's whole body, the smell of the earth, the aroma of the fruit, Tong Chen seemed to feel a feeling that he had never felt before.
That seems to be a good feeling too!
Tong Chen didn't know when he fell asleep again, and the scenery was still the same when he woke up.
He closed his eyes and saw that there were still eight hours left in the countdown, Tong Chen got up and walked on the way back, this time he was refreshed a lot.
The grasshoppers chirped in the grass, some of them kept jumping in front of Tong Chen's feet, and some even accidentally jumped on his leaf skirt, looking at these grasshoppers Tong Chen thought that he often caught grasshoppers when he was a child, pulled their legs down and roasted them with the fire to eat.
The childhood time was really good, but unfortunately I can't go back.
When I was young, I looked forward to when I would grow up, but when I grew up, I missed the past very much, man, what a strange animal!
Thinking that there were still people on TV who roasted grasshoppers to eat whole, Tong Chen shuddered a little, even now it is very difficult for him to eat the grasshopper legs he ate as a child.
With five hours left, Tong Chen sat on a rock, and he decided to wait.
Why is it only three days until 12 o'clock in the evening, and not an hour earlier?
Seeing everything in front of him gradually fall into darkness, Tong Chen couldn't help but curse, fortunately he was a man, fortunately he was quite bold, otherwise a woman or a cowardly person would be scared to death if she didn't starve to death.
As for Tong Chen, is he really not afraid? Maybe only his heart knows.
If people are forced to a certain extent, people who are usually not bold will be much bigger.
The waiting time is the hardest, especially when it is still alone at night, Tong Chen keeps watching the countdown, but it still changes unhurriedly.
Tong Chen thought in his heart, let's sleep first, and I won't feel that it will be long when I fall asleep.
He lay on the grass, the temperature dropped, and although it was difficult to sleep, Tong Chen closed his eyes and waited for the moment when the countdown was over.
