"Qingqing, the audience voted for us to eat earthworms!"

Xiao Weiwei shouted at Liu Danqing with a painful face.

Liu Dan calmly continued to turn the leopard meat in his hand, and replied: "Calm, calm, what they say they don't matter, we can decide for ourselves, even if it is really frozen tundra, we can catch the prey." ”

"Yes," Xiao Weiwei nodded: "It's unlikely that you won't be able to find food for three or five days." ”

"It's not big!" Liu Danqing replied affirmatively, but secretly said in his heart: "It's very big, girl, you think that the frozen tundra is the same as the jungle, and the food is abundant." ”

After eating a skewer of barbecue in his hand to cushion his stomach, Liu Danqing slice another skewer, also inserted it in the soil, and then began to catch fire and continue to cut trees.

"Now we don't have enough firewood to support a fire, but today we need to make two fires, one for heating and deterring the beasts, and the other for smoking the leopard meat and preventing the beasts from coming and stealing the meat. ”

Liu Danqing explained as he cut down several small pine trees around him, dragged them to the fire, and slowly dealt with them.

"We've used it in several places, we've used it in several places, and we've used it in several places before we go to bed, and then we're pressing it on the fire here, which can produce smoke for a long time. ”

Sitting back by the fire, Liu Danqing took the meat skewers in Xiao Weiwei's hands and continued to roast them on the fire, which had to be grilled black before it could be eaten.

Xiao Weiwei couldn't wait any longer, so she stuffed the meat skewers in her hand to Liu Danqing, and cut eight more branches, inserted all the meat slices, and planted them around the fire.

After doing this, she clapped her hands, sat down, took the roasted meat slices handed over by Liu Danqing, and said while eating: "It's okay now, the efficiency has increased by five times, otherwise just rely on a branch to roast so slowly, how long will it take." ”

After eating for two or three hours, the whole leopard's hind leg plus one front leg were eaten, and the two of them were considered to be full.

This meal, probably the most tiring they had eaten in a long time, kept cutting and roasting the meat, and then ate the slices of charred black meat that had lost most of their nutrients.

In between dinners, Liu Danqing took down a few pieces of leopard meat that had been roasted for a while, removed the bones, and only strips of leopard meat remained.

"This meat, except for tomorrow's breakfast, will be taken as dry food, so I have to remove the bones to reduce the weight and volume, and at the same time, it is also convenient to remove the fishy smell when the pine leaves are smoked. ”

"Right now we don't have anything to use as spices or spices, so we can only rely on the smoke from these pine leaves to get rid of the smell of leopard meat. ”

After dinner, Liu Danqing pulled off all the skin film that had been baked and cracked and burst on the leopard skin, and then took a few burning pine trees as tinder and returned to the depression under the stone.

First planted the fire under the rocks, Liu Danqing started the logging business again, and Xiao Weiwei, the most tender branches and leaves on the pine trees that were cut down, collected them and put them next to the fire to bake.

When Liu Danqing felt that there was enough wood, he stopped, returned to the boulder, moved the fire out, and explained: "I specially placed the fire under the stone and burned it for a while, which has two purposes. ”

"One is to keep warm and remove moisture, the moisture under the stone is heavier, and the flame can bake some of the moisture away, and make the soil underneath and the stones next to it and above very warm. ”

"Then there is the insect control, and the crevices under the stones are also the habitat of some insects, including some poisonous insects, and a fire can be made to drive these insects away, so that they will not be bitten by insects at night. ”

"Now, we're going to have to wait a little longer for the moisture on the ground to dissipate some of it, and then we'll spread the leaves on it, and finally we'll put on the leopard skins and use it as our bed. ”

Make the bed, put two backpacks on either side of the crack, add some branches and leaves, and a warm little space is complete.

Returning to the barbecue again, Liu Danqing climbed the big tree, hung the remaining pieces of leopard meat on the branches above the fire, and then put a lot of large pieces of wood on the fire, and then covered it with a thick layer of pine branches and pine leaves.

Soon, thick white smoke rose and enveloped several pieces of leopard meat.

"The old rule, Weiwei, you keep it in the middle of the night, I keep it in the second half of the night, I'll go to sleep first, audience friends, see you in the second half of the night. ”

The next day, when Xiao Weiwei woke up, Liu Danqing had already grilled the leopard meat, which was cut into small strips the thickness of chopsticks, and the roasted color was golden.

Xiao Weiwei looked at these good-looking barbecues and asked, "Qingqing, won't your barbecue still be so fishy, right?" ”

"You taste it," Liu Danqing replied with a smile.

"Well, it's okay, although it's still a little fishy, but the pine flavor is stronger, at least you can swallow it. ”

"Yesterday I took the leopard meat and cut it into small strips and hung it on a branch to smoke, and during the night, I went to add pine leaves several times to keep the smoke strong, and in the morning I took a few sticks of bacon and roasted it for a while, that's it, and the nutrient loss was less. ”

After the two of them finished breakfast, packed their bags, and then put out all the two bonfires, they said to Xiao San: "Dear audience friends, it's another day, we're going to continue to set off, today, our goal is to cross the ridge in front, and then reach the next ridge, if we have time, we will walk a little more." ”

"The mountain peak of our destination today seems to be a bit high, but the height of the mountain actually has little effect, and the deep valley is the big problem, and now it seems that the two mountains are not too far away, and there should not be a deep valley. ”

These two ridges are similar to the two mountains they climbed yesterday, they are both mountains and mountains, and the slope is relatively gentle, so the two of them went all the way, both of them were on high places, and they did not encounter too many dangers.

So many viewers in the live broadcast room also muttered, of course, there were also those who firmly supported the two, and the two sides had a war of words.

"It doesn't seem that Savage Mountain is not too dangerous, Qing Ye and Weiwei are walking very easily. ”

"Do you have the ability to try it yourself?"

"Along the way, I feel that Qingye and Weiwei are like they are on an outing, no thrills and no dangers. ”

"Do you have the ability to try it yourself?"

"Why is it still so bland, I want to sleep, hurry up and wake up with some excitement. ”

"Do you have the ability to try it yourself?"

Until noon, the two climbed the first ridge.

Xiao Weiwei took off the backpack on her body, and then took off the eucalyptus leaf mosquito repellent suit and looked at it.

"Qingqing, these eucalyptus leaves have dried up, and the effect is much worse, and when I was in the valley just now, mosquitoes came to bite me. ”

Liu Danqing scratched his back and said helplessly: "Yes, I was also bitten by mosquitoes several times, and I was looking for eucalyptus trees all the way, but no, depressed." ”

"But don't worry, this valley in front of us is also the kind of mountainous, the terrain is relatively high, there will not be too many mosquitoes, we will go over, we will look carefully along the way, see if we can find new eucalyptus trees. ”

Xiao Weiwei nodded vigorously, "Well, this time we have to look for it carefully, and if we find it, collect some more and put it in the backpack for later use, this eucalyptus leaf can last for two days at most." ”

"Also, although there was a fire on the top of the mountain last night, there were still mosquitoes, so we have to think of a way. ”

Liu Danqing took off the eucalyptus leaf mosquito repellent suit on his body.

"There's an expedient solution, use it first, pour some water on the eucalyptus branches and leaves, and then rub it so that the eucalyptus leaves can smell again for a while and help us repel mosquitoes. ”

"Come on, take off yours too, I'll get it, let's be careful along the way and see if we can find eucalyptus trees." ”

After some trimming, the two embarked on the trip again, going down the mountain and up the mountain, which was still very smooth.

When he climbed to today's goal, Liu Danqing looked at the sun.

"Looking at the sky, there are still three hours before the sun goes down, Weiwei, we continue to hurry, walk for another two hours. ”

"Okay, let's go. Xiao Weiwei nodded in agreement.

Hurrying, camping, barbecue, interacting, taking turns on duty, the two spent the night peacefully.

It's a new day, as soon as the sky is bright, Xiao Weiwei gets up, and Liu Danqing also prepares breakfast.

After breakfast, the two headed for the next hill.

"The two hills are relatively close to each other, and we walked a little more yesterday, so we expect to be able to climb the ridge in front of us by noon. ”

Sure enough, with the two abandoning all search and hunting operations, they climbed the ridge around ten a.m.

But standing on the ridge, the scene he saw made Liu Danqing's face solemn.

The terrain in front of us suddenly dropped considerably, a stream meandered through it, and the vegetation was no longer the same color as the previous jungle, the top of the mountain was green, and the bottom of the mountain was dark green.

The previous summit, although much shorter, was yellow-green, and in the valley, there were different degrees of green mixed together, and when viewed from a high place, it looked extremely mottled.

"Weiwei, it's a big trouble!"

Liu Danqing scratched his head and said to Xiao Weiwei depressedly.

Xiao Weiwei looked at the lower hillside in front of her, and asked suspiciously: "What's the matter?" It doesn't look very difficult to walk, at most it's the same as the previous valley, there are a little more leeches, but our plastic bag hat is still there." ”

Liu Danqing looked at the mottled valleys and explained: "Savage Mountain has two nicknames, one is called Gu Wu Land, and the other is called Yan Miasma Land. ”

"Now there are probably such places below, especially in the valleys where the ground is lower than the streams, where the swamps are stagnant all year round, and over time, they become poisonous water, and even the air is poisonous, and the people who can survive in it are some poisonous insects and beasts. ”

"Tens of thousands of survivors of the expeditionary force who survived the adaptation period died in such places, and fierce beasts, poisonous insects, and the ubiquitous smoke miasma caused the human beings who entered it to lose their way and lose their lives. ”
