Chapter 320, The Price You Can Bear
Three days.
It turned out that the mulberry quinoa overestimated those little friends, and they didn't even survive a day, and at night, they found Li He and their cave by the firelight.
When they arrived at the cave, they were all hungry and spent the whole day on the beach, and in the end they could not find anything to eat, and they had drunk even the two bottles of water that had been distributed at the beginning.
Seeing that night fell, Chen Jing, as the captain, made a decision to give up their plan to survive independently and go to Li He for help.
"No," Qi Siyuan said with a bitter face, "We admit it so quickly, Li He will laugh us to death." ”
Chen Jing said: "But I'm hungry, I'm not afraid that Li He will laugh at me." She put on a look that I just admit that I am afraid of whom, whether it is Qi Siyuan, Li Ningfeng or Li Shuming, no one can really say that there is anything wrong with her. From their hearts, it is very embarrassing to admit cowardice at this time, but it is really not so easy to find food on a desert island.
"Let's think so. Li Ningfeng was very able to excuse himself, and said: "For this desert island survival, because Lao Qi has done too well in secrecy, we have not prepared at all, whether it is experience, understanding, psychology or physical fitness, so we can't be regarded as cowardly, it should be said that we are not strong, many times, not being strong is a valuable character." ”
Chen Jing applauded and said: "Very right, very right, Li He left us on the desert island without saying a word and then let go, no matter what, it can't be said." If he wants us to learn how to survive in the wild, he has to teach us. ”
Qi Siyuan covered his face and said, "But I still feel ashamed, why don't we have to give it a try?"
Li Shuming said sadly: "We tried, but we couldn't find anything to eat." ”
Li Ningfeng said again: "Actually, it's like this, there is only one boy over there, I'm afraid he won't be able to take care of it." We're not competing, we're going to have to compare the high and low, so why are we embarrassed?"
As soon as he heard Ai Yu's name, Li Shuming said with a melancholy face: "I'm mainly worried about our family's Xiao Yu. ”
Chen Jing laughed and said, "Okay, okay, the reasons are enough, it's such a happy decision, it's getting dark, you have to hurry up to find them, otherwise where will we stay at night?" After speaking, she patted Qi Siyuan's shoulder and said, "My husband is more open-minded, I feel embarrassed, let's do more work next." ”
Qi Siyuan smiled bitterly, and could only nod and say yes.
Then the group walked into the woods on the island, looking for the traces left by Li He and them.
At this time, Li Ningfeng said shamelessly: "Actually, we are here to help them, think about it, there are three boys on our side who are still at a loss, and the seventh with three girls is afraid that it will be worse than us." The idea of cowering is not right, we are here to help them, and we must recognize this correctly. ”
However, Li Ningfeng's words didn't take long to be slapped in the face, and as the sky gradually darkened, they couldn't find the way around the woods, and at this time, a firelight on the mountainside gradually became clear in the night, invisibly pointing them out the way forward. As they walked along the woods towards the mountainside, they found that the weeds and shrubs in the forest had been cleared, and they could even see signposts made of sticks put together.
The situation was obviously not what they thought, Li He took three girls and was now waiting for their rescue.
Of course, Li Ningfeng didn't feel slapped in the face, he even whistled and said approvingly: "Ah, it's not bad." ”
When they walked through the woods to the cave halfway up the mountain, they found that the entrance to the cave had been cleaned neatly, and the fire they saw was a fire burning at the entrance of the cave. And under the earthen platform that could climb up to the mouth of the cave, a row of sticks had been erected, and the ends of those sticks were sharpened, pointed upwards, and three sticks were put together, and they were tied together with longer and stronger sticks and vines, so that it became a simple row of horses. Although it is simple, it can effectively block the approach of wild beasts, and with the fire at the entrance of the cave, it can be said that the cave is relatively safe here.
Li Ningfeng looked at it and didn't speak, before he said that they would simply sleep on the beach, using the beach as a bed, the starry sky as a quilt, accompanied by the lullaby of the waves, everything was so romantic.
But now it seems that that kind of romance is really a bit unreliable.
"Hehe," Cao Jing, who was guarding the fire outside and was in charge of adding firewood, couldn't help but laugh at Li Ningfeng and the four of them when he saw them, and said, "I thought that you would admit it, but I didn't expect to flee so soon." ”
"What's the matter," Li Ningfeng said stiffly, "Aren't you worried about you?" I feel relieved to see that you are okay. ”
Cao Jing pouted and smiled, and said, "Since you are relieved, you can also go back, don't send it slowly, I'm busy." She is used to arguing with Li Ningfeng, as for what Li Ningfeng thinks in her heart, how can she not know? She didn't care about the embarrassment on Qi Siyuan and Li Shuming's faces, and said to Chen Jing: "Chen Jing can come over and eat something first." ”
"Anything to eat?" Not only Chen Jing, but even Qi Siyuan's eyes lit up instantly.
Hearing the sound of talking outside, several people in the cave came out, there was no sarcasm, no schadenfreude, some were just Li He stretched his arms very arrogantly and said: "Come on, I will take you down, even if it is the end of the world, I will take you to find a last habitat." ”
"Wow," Chen Jing applauded heartily and said, "Brother Hei, you are so handsome, I admire you so much." ”
In fact, Li He has not really experienced the test of survival in the wild, he has made full preparations, read a lot of materials, and done some simulation training, especially the preparation of various materials and equipment. But theory is just theory after all, and Li He's side was able to get on the right track so quickly, in fact, it was some accident, and it could even be said that it was lucky. Because they solved the problem of food in the first place, they had more energy to set up the camp.
And their food can be said to have been delivered to their doors. That is, when Li He found the cave and went in to check it, he didn't find it, but then he found firewood and grass, and when he was about to smoke the cave first to get rid of mosquitoes, the thick smoke from the burning drove out a python coiled inside.
If they weren't lucky, the python might have eaten its full stomach yesterday, and it hadn't digested anything yet, and it crawled out slowly, not only did it not have combat effectiveness, but it couldn't even run fast. Otherwise, with its length of more than two meters and the size of its wrist, if it was in a state of hunger, Li He might still be in danger.
However, Li He reacted quickly, and at the same time that Mulberry Flowers screamed and found the python, Li He had quickly pulled her away, and the wooden stick in his hand also smashed the python's head with all his strength, and the power was so great that he directly smashed the python's head. Then while the python's body was still writhing and struggling, he picked up the python with a wooden stick, hung it on the tree and began to peel it.
At that time, Li He's hands were still shaking, he could only whistle and make a casual appearance, Cao Jing and Ai Yu, who ran back when they heard the cry of mulberry, saw that Li He quickly peeled off the snake's skin, and dragged out a small pig from the snake's stomach.
"What's the situation?" Looking at the bloody little pig, the girls who couldn't smell the blood all retreated far away, covered their noses and asked Li He, this bloody scene seemed a little cruel.
"It's a very simple situation. Li Hexin said that I didn't know that there were pythons on this island, and the information I found out was that this island was very safe, who knew that there would be such a thing, but he still said calmly: "It's the situation you see, our food has fallen." Moreover, the next problem should not be big, the flesh and blood you see is a small pig, and besides, there are no fangs, judging from the fur, it should be a domestic pig. There is no permanent residence on the island, and it is possible that someone once brought the pigs to herd them, but then no one took care of them. Since the python has eaten one piglet, it is likely that there are many more piglets. ”
"I'm more concerned," Mulberry asked, with trepidation, "will there be more pythons?"
"No population will exist alone, so pythons will definitely exist, and we must also take measures to deal with it," Li He said. But at the top of this food chain is that there can't be a lot of things, so there's no need to panic. Now we need firewood, a lot of firewood, and we first have to bake the cave thoroughly, get rid of all the mosquitoes, snakes and ants, and then we have to use fire as a barrier. You know? The biggest difference between humans and animals is that people use fire. ”
Sang Quinoa looked like a fan girl, and with stars in her eyes, she said, "Li He, you are really handsome." Even if your hands are bloody now, you're still very handsome. ”
Cao Jing and Ai Yu glanced at each other speechlessly, but they did admire Li He, no matter what, a potential crisis was turned into food by him, even if he was lucky, his courage and reaction were not possessed by the other boys.
"Don't be stunned," Li He beckoned as he cut the snake meat into pieces with a sharp saber, "If it is just the four of us, this snake will be enough for us to eat for two days, but it is estimated that Chen Jing and they will come over in a short time." Now divide the work, Cao Jing will stay and cook, you are not very good at cooking, we have a marching pot, take advantage of the freshness, drink a meal of snake soup first, and you can only eat roast snake meat in the afternoon. ”
Cao Jing nodded sharply and said, "No problem." ”
Ai Yu asked, "What about me?"
Li He pointed to himself, Mulberry and Ai Yu, and said, "Let's continue to collect firewood, and the two of you are responsible for picking up everything that can be used as fuel, and by the way, bring the weeds and shrubs I cut down to Cao Jing, dry them for fuel, and the wet ones will also ignite the inside of the smoked cave." Our job is not easy. ”
In addition to the M9 saber, Li He also has 4 Ontario mountain knives in his material reserves, one each for him and Qi Siyuan, and two for spare, and now, he uses the mountain knife in his hand to clean up the debris near the cave. He knocked down all the trees with a diameter of less than 10 centimeters, and he cut down a lot of branches on the big trees, so there were too many places to use. This is a hard work, Rao is Li He usually pays attention to exercise, and soon chops up a hand full of blisters.
When Cao Jing's lunch was ready and everyone stopped to rest, Sang Quinoa held Li He's hand and used the needle in the M9 saber to help Li He pick up the blisters, like a well-behaved little daughter-in-law. Cao Jing and Ai Yu on the side could only sigh, if those male students and male teachers in the school saw that their cold school flowers also had such a side, I don't know how many people would hit the wall with their heads.
Mulberry didn't think there was anything special about what she was doing, she just enjoyed it now. It's strange, she has always been a girl who pays attention to personality and emphasizes independence, if you want to ask her what is the most unacceptable thing, then she will not hesitate to say that the most unacceptable thing for her is to be raised by a man without doing anything.
But now, she just enjoys Li He sheltering from the wind and rain in front, and she only needs to follow him as a little woman protected by him and taken care of by him. For a moment, she even wished that they had really been stranded on this desert island, never to return to modern society, and no one to disturb them.
Compared with the hustle and bustle of the city, whether it is Li Hesang Quinoa, Cao Jing and Ai Yu, they all feel a different kind of peace in the simple and repetitive work of eating and working. It is precisely because they are all distracted that when Chen Jing and them came over in the evening, they had already laid clean grass blades in the cave as a place to rest at night, and the grass blades were still hot when they lay down, because the cave ground had only been burned with fire, and the residual heat had not yet faded.
And there is a small fire burning in the center of the cave, which is damp-proof, warm, and also prevents insects and snakes from appearing again, and there is also a fire burning outside the cave, and the fire is the most important tool for them to defend against wild beasts. Although there are no truly ferocious beasts on this island.
When Li He opened his arms to welcome his friends, his palms were already wrapped in thick gauze, and everything had to be paid, but this price was not only bearable by him, but also made him realize many new things.
I don't want to say anything superfluous about the update anymore......
