Chapter 19 Towards a Better Tomorrow
Ye Yan is still quite happy, this leopard at least let him not worry about food for a week, under normal circumstances, here, even if there are no carbohydrates, it is almost enough to eat 2-3 catties of meat per person a day. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Next, Ye Yan only needs to focus on building a house, and the only indicator of survival on the island is to turn the primitive life of the last meal into a sustainable life.
Have a reliable fire, a shelter from the elements, a safe source of water to drink, and food that you can continue to obtain.
Ye Yan now has food and plenty of water, and there is only one safe shelter left.
"Ye Yan, the meat is roasted, come and eat it. ”
Not far away, Mo Qing was holding a string of golden-colored, oily barbecue, which looked appetizing, almost the same as the late-night benefits on the Internet.
Ye Yan smiled, stood up, and took over this string of meat skewers with full color and fragrance, but I don't know how it tastes, there is no seasoning, but I don't think it will be too bad.
Ye Yan chose the leopard's hind leg tendon meat, this place is definitely the most delicious meat on the leopard, because the leopard's hind legs are extremely strong, and they often move this area, so the meat will be firm, and it is the most suitable for barbecue.
Ye Yan swallowed his saliva and took a bite of the meat, sure enough, Mo Qing's barbecue skills can give 80 points, this piece of hind leg meat is all lean meat, almost no fat, full of strength, and the taste of the meat is better than that of good beef.
Mo Qing roasted just right, the surface is golden and a little crispy, the inside is very tender, and the original flavor is retained, because it is washed with seawater, so it has a faint salty taste, which is delicious.
Looking at the very dedicated camera brother on the side, Ye Yan smiled slightly, Mo Qing took a prepared barbecue and handed it to Luo An, who was slightly stunned and nodded to express his gratitude.
The amount of meat is not too much, only a few taels or so, but it is enough to not be too full.
In fact, every time Luo An took advantage of Ye Yan and Mo Qing to enjoy the food, he also quietly retreated, went to the camp to eat a meal before coming back, and Ye Yan was in charge of photography during this period. Originally, it was a daily change, but since the shark attack, Luo An insisted on following the shooting by himself without interruption.
After waiting for about an hour, he finally processed the leopard meat and hung them all in the shade of a tree, and put two banana leaves on the temporary stand built by Ye Yan to act as a waterproof.
Then some of the discarded internal organs were taken back by Luo An to dispose of them, otherwise maggots would grow over time, which would be too discordant.
And Ye Yan also made a triangular bracket, just like the Indians, stretching the leopard skin with a rope, tying it to the tripod, drying it in the sun, and then it can be used as clothing or bedding.
After doing all this, Ye Yan nodded with satisfaction and was ready to continue building the house. Leaving Mo Qing to guard here, Ye Yan entered the forest alone, now that the leopard is dead, Ye Yan is more relieved that Mo Qing is alone, and this meat needs to be guarded to ensure that nothing goes wrong, in the wild, every bit of food is very important.
Luo An followed Ye Yan into the forest, while Roger stayed by Mo Qing's side and watched Mo Qing dig in the mud......
……
Entering the forest, Ye Yan continued to start the big plan of cutting trees, but this time the focus was not on trees, but on bamboo, yes, bamboo is a very good building material, lightweight, strong, and its natural structure can be directly used as roof tiles, so that there is no need to dig up the soil to fire tiles, and it can save time.
According to the position in his memory, Ye Yan came to a piece of bamboo in the forest, the green and brittle bamboos grew straight and straight upwards one by one, and could easily reach ten meters high, about 10-15 centimeters thick. The small side branches are dotted with a few emerald green bamboo leaves, which gently sway in the wind, making a crisp and beautiful sound.
Well, in this way, about three bamboos are enough to hold up a piece of the sky, but it is very difficult to cut down bamboo with just a knife. Because the bamboo itself is sealed and the independent air *** part is filled with air, the bamboo becomes extraordinarily hard.
Ye Yan stretched out his hand and patted one of the bamboos: "For thousands of years, both our people in China and all over the world have preferred bamboo, and this is especially true of navigators. Because bamboo is not only tough, but also buoyant, it can easily float in water. Bamboo has many independent air pockets, the underground roots can spread for several kilometers, and it rains here all year round, so there is a good chance that there will be water in the air pockets, which are absolutely clean and drinkable. ”
Ye Yan leaned down, stepped on some fallen leaves, and knocked on the air pockets of the bamboo one by one with a knife, and finally on a bamboo, there were air pockets with water: "Listen, the sound of air pockets with water is relatively dull and makes a knocking sound, while those without water are more straightforward." ”
After that, he stabbed hard, and blatantly pierced the air pocket of the bamboo, and suddenly some clear water came out, Ye Yan opened the hole wider, stretched out his head, and sucked it, these waters are not much more than the mountain springs, and even sweeter, because it is filtered through the layers of bamboo, and in some places, these waters are also packaged and sold.
"23333, Yecheng Lord Popular Science Small Theater. ”
"It's amazing my Ye City Lord, why are you hanging like this. ”
"There is a bamboo forest near my house, and every day at five or six o'clock people go to look for this water. ”
"Originally, I always thought that Ye City Lord was just an otaku who loved to play games, but I didn't expect ......"
"Upstairs, I've been paying attention to you for a long time, why can you be close to everything. ”
“23333。 ”
……
After Ye Yan finished drinking, he couldn't help but praise: "It's delicious, but I just need these bamboos to lay the roof." ”
Looking for a big stone on the ground, Ye Yan found that this knife was really sharp, and even bamboo could easily pierce it, and it seemed that there was no need to burn the fire, and he could cut it directly.
"Cut dick" really lived up to expectations, under a piercing sound, the blade of the knife sank into the bamboo, cutting out a big flat gap, Ye Yanyi pulled it out with all his strength, and then changed the direction to continue cutting, so that a multi-pronged approach can soon cut down a bamboo.
"Smack!"
The bamboo made a loud noise and fell down in response, but it was blocked by heavy branches and could not fall to the ground, but it was not in the way, Ye Yan pulled hard, and the bamboo directly separated the branches, and fell to the ground with a "bang". Ye Yan cut it into three sections, each section is about four meters, and so on 4 trees in a row, a total of 15 sections of four-meter-long bamboo were obtained, which should be enough to build a roof.
……
After transporting the bamboos back to the shore one by one, Ye Yan breathed a sigh of relief and saw what Mo Qing was doing.
As a result, when he walked to the house, Mo Qing sat pitifully in the shade of a tree digging in the soil. Digging is actually a very hard job, a normal man, can dig up to 3 cubic meters a day, let alone Mo Qing, a weak girl, and she still uses a clam shell. But in an hour or two, nearly two or three hundred catties of soil have been dug up, which is enough to make some clay ware, and even paste a wall. Soon, Ye Yan will no longer have to eat only baked food.
Looking at the time, it's almost 4 o'clock in the afternoon, good guys, time flies so fast, but in the wild, this is the only way to live, if you don't find something to do, you will soon fall into all kinds of negative emotions.
Leaving some spare, cut the rest of the bamboo into two sections one by one, and obtained many sections of 2-meter-long bamboo tubes, which were then split from the middle and split into two to obtain a semicircle. Now the bamboo is already a bit like a tile, a whole tile.
In the two sections of these bamboo pieces, a small notch is cut for binding rope to fasten. Then knock out the knotted walls inside the bamboo so that the rainwater can be left behind.
This took Ye Yan nearly an hour's effort.
Then you can place the bamboo slices, after Ye Yan's strict Pythagorean theorem operation, the bamboo slices are just enough length, use a rope to bypass the cut gap, and then tie it to the wooden frame, with the outside of the bamboo cyan for the front, the inside for the aspect.
One front and one reverse arrangement, like the tiled houses in the south, so that rainwater can be left along the ditch. Then, after each is fixed, a rope is used to connect all the bamboo pieces into a whole. Finally, above the ridge, this is the place where the bamboo pieces cannot cover, so Ye Yan directly placed a long strip of bamboo horizontally, so that it can just cover the gap at the top.
After doing this, it was already dark, but the good news was that Ye Yan had already laid the roof for the house, and he looked very secure, and the next thing was to wait for the rain to verify whether it would leak.
Back by the bonfire, Mo Qing had finished her work, sitting quietly on the dead wood, holding the dried jerky, which was being heated, with a quiet smile on her face, thick enough to reflect on her beautiful face, which was very good-looking.
An indescribable emotion grew in Ye Yan's heart like this, and he didn't understand what it was like.
……
"Hmph, it's baked, come and eat. ”
Mo Qing snorted, a little coquettish.
Ye Yan nodded and took the meat skewer in Mo Qing's hand, which was full of weight.
Mo Qing hugged his knees with one hand, looked at the beating fire, and muttered, "Huh...... It's only been two days since I lived, and I always feel like it's been a long time......"
"But no, in the wild, food and water are only one aspect, and more importantly, psychological, many people are in such a situation, gradually driving themselves crazy, and before they can be rescued, they die. Ye Yan also took a bite of meat, glanced at Mo Qing, and looked at the dark sea, which was not as good as the dream of the day, like a fierce beast that chose people to devour.
"Survival and survival, the former is just to avoid the danger of life and return to civilization. The latter, just like us, preserves life in this wilderness and lives in this unknown land. ”
Mo Qing blinked his beautiful eyes and smiled: "Then for a better tomorrow?"
Ye Yan also smiled: "Work hard." ”
PS: April Fool's Day...... So guess if I'm going to have two watches? In addition, the Qingming Festival is also coming, and we have to worship our ancestors. So this two-day update should be suspended, and I will take time to update it when I have time.
