"An anchor broadcasts naked swimming, earning 10 million a month!"

"I can see through you, and I don't forget to show off my body all the time!"

"If you have a little hole, you can take it off, can you have a little discipline. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Cute little monster: "Shame and shame, I like this dog the most, beautiful white and tender body, my favorite!"

Little aunt: "The overlord of the desert butcher has been launched, be careful of its amplification moves." The dog went and killed the crocodile alone. ”

Chen Ergou just took a simple bath, and he didn't find any fish in the water, but a group of small tadpoles paddling among a few aquatic plants. When he saw the crocodile raise its head, he had already gotten up and went ashore. At this time, the change in temperature can already be felt.

The afterglow of the setting sun and the sand line of the skyline are connected, reflecting a colorful glow, which is really beautiful, and you can't get enough of it.

"The sun is about to go down and the temperature in the desert is plummeting. I need to prepare food for today's dinner before the sun goes down, and then I need a place to camp and make a fire...... This is essential. ”

He has always been a doer, and he has super hands-on ability.

Act quickly, and the first target is the baobab tree.

The smooth trunk of a thick dozen people could not be climbed by climbing, but he had a rope. Tie a piece of rope directly to a heavy object, throw it into the air, and after a parabola crosses the arc in the air and falls, the rope hangs perfectly on the thick trunk.

Chen Ergou tugged a few times, and felt that it was no problem, so he used the support of the rope to exert force and pedaled the trunk to climb up.

Of course, it won't be easy, but it's nothing to him. I heard that there are rope climbing projects in the training of the troops, but the ropes they use are all very thick hemp ropes, and there are even knots in the middle. In contrast, the parachute rope used by Chen Ergou is more difficult to climb, but he climbs fast!

Soon arrived at the top of the tree, sitting on the canopy, Chen Ergou breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at the camera: "It's much higher than it seems, especially when you stand on the canopy and look down, the entire desert oasis is at your feet." ”

"Baobabs are full of treasures. The bark is thick and the fibers are tough, and when peeled off, they can be used to rub rope or weave cloth. ”

"The leaves can also be eaten as vegetables, and can also be used as medicine to remove fire and reduce fever. ”

"The roots are tubers, and they can be boiled and eaten after being peeled. ”

"The pulp can be eaten as is, or it can be made into jam. ”

"The fruit is roasted and ground to make a coffee-like drink. ”

"The husks can be made into scoops or wine cups. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ These are all useful to me. Isn't it incredible. "Like a greedy goblin, he walked into the dragon's treasure cave. One face almost said, "Mine, it's all mine." It's not mine, it's mine!"

The monkey's anxious expression makes people want to laugh when they see it.

Not only did he say it, but he was also very ruthless. Grab the fruit, twist it left and right, and then break it off and pick it directly.

"Not only that, the trunk of the baobab tree contains a lot of water and the wood is soft, which is not suitable for construction, but it is a good material for making pulp. Because of so many uses, many desert travelers say that baobabs are with life, and as long as there are baobab trees, there is no need to worry about traveling in the desert. ”

He smiled and began to pluck some delicate leaves again, and said as he worked, "I'll tell you a few stories about the cave of the baobab tree. ”

"Actually, the baobab tree you see is only medium, and some huge natural or artificial hollows can be used as water tanks. In some places, this kind of tree hole is used as a 'cave', which can not only live in people, but also store sundries, and even use it as a garage. In Senegal, some tribal chiefs used tree holes as special prisons for prisoners who violated ancestral family rules. In Kenya, some tribes use tree holes as graves to bury two kinds of people: those who are good at telling the truth and flattering. Such a person cannot go to heaven or hell after death. As a result, the body was hung in a hollow in a tree. The second type is poets, painters, musicians. Their creative activities are regarded as 'demonically possessed'. The locals were worried that their bodies would pollute the ground after they died, so they could not be buried in the same way as ordinary people, but had to be placed in tree hollows. It is believed that the Holy Spirit is hidden in the hollow of the tree, which can calm those restless souls and keep the world at peace forever......"

The audience listened with relish, while he enjoyed the joy of the harvest, and said for a while: "Okay, that's enough." We've got to leave some rations for the baboons. ”

That being said, the audience wanted to say, "You don't want this umbrella bag because you can't fit it?"

Climbed down the rope, tore off a large piece of dry bread bark, and dug out a section of rhizome...... I really don't let it go at all.

He didn't let go of the ripe date palms nearby, and it was much easier to climb the date palm than the baobab tree. Climbed up to the treetops, pinched a date palm and put it in his mouth, tasted it, the taste was a little sour but sweet, and said with satisfaction: "Overall...... Tastes good. ”

"Actually, date palms are the best desert food, with a lot of sugar, a lot of energy, vitamin C, and a lot of minerals to replace the salt I lose due to sweating. ”

Having secured enough food, he began to camp nearby.

A rocky spot was chosen, and it just so happened that a few dense palm olive and date palm palms could be used nearby. Dumping food on the rocks, the parachute bag was freed, and then the four corners of the bag were tied with parachute ropes, and a hammock was built using a few nearby date palms and palm olive trees.

I was worried that it wasn't strong enough, so I even jumped on it and tried it, and in addition to being a little small, it was unexpectedly comfortable.

"I can sleep in a hammock. ”

"Master dog, all you need is a warm bed. ”

"I thought he was going to be miserable tonight, but now it seems that I was too naΓ―ve!"

Chen Ergou clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It's done." ”

"If you're going to set up camp in the desert, don't sleep on the sand. The first thing to do is to find yourself something that can insulate the heat. The heat has been tormenting you all day, but when you feel like you need the heat, the desert won't let you go. A mattress made of palm branches can help you stay alive, and sand is notoriously insulated and takes a lot of heat away from you, which separates you from the sun. ”

"At night the temperature can drop sharply to freezing, and if you're going to sleep outside, you have to have a campfire. There is no shortage of dry firewood here, and I brought flint and steel to good use. But now is a good opportunity, and it's worth trying to drill wood for fire. ”

Drill wood for fire?

The audience's eyes widened instantly, staring at the screen without blinking.

"Many people understand the truth of drilling wood for fire, but few people will actually do it. That's because you've got the wrong method. Everybody's optimistic......"

After quickly picking up a large pile of firewood from the surroundings, he intercepted a section of the drill pipe and the base of the campfire: "Normally, you only need these two things. Rounded the drill pipe, drilled a hole in the base, and started turning the branch to try to get some burn chips. The key to this is not to be too anxious in the early stages, just take your time, at least maybe a minute or two to drill, I just have to steadily increase the heat at the bottom of the drill pipe and then I have to turn very hard to create chips. ”

The audience in the live broadcast room was still staring curiously, discussing his hand speed after being single for 25 years, and the sawdust on the ground had already begun to smoke.

Chen Ergou carefully poured the burning debris into the ignition and blew it into the air, and the rising smoke rose and was quickly replaced by orange-red flames.

"Alright. ”

"It's time to cook my meat. ”
