While chatting with Xiao Weiwei, Liu Danqing first cut down a lot of branches, and then used a mountain opener to cut into the trunk of the tree and pried it hard.

With a "click", he pried up a piece of bark, revealing the yellow-brown rotting flesh in the middle.

Three times and two times, as the outer bark was pried away by Liu Danqing, the inside of the trunk was completely exposed.

What is called "gold and jade outside, ruined in it", this dead tree perfectly embodies this, from the outside it does not feel it, but the inside of the tree has been completely decayed.

Using a mountain opener to dig out a large piece of rotten wood that had rotted into debris, Liu Danqing used the tip of the knife to disperse the rotten wood, and two snow-white chubby insects rolled out of the rotten wood, squirming and squirming, wanting to return to their rotten home.

"Weiwei, come, one for each person, the fat one for you. ”

Liu Danqing grabbed two insects and handed one of them, which looked fatter, to Xiao Weiwei.

"It's a good thing, very few high-protein foods that can still be eaten directly in the case of water shortage, and are rich in fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals. ”

"Don't. Xiao Weiwei said with a disgusted face: "I don't want to eat this kind of peristalsis small intestine, it looks a little sick to my stomach, just like that, it's definitely not delicious." ”

Xiao Weiwei also did some homework before she came, at least she could name the other name of this insect.

They are the larvae of the African longhorn beetle, and the author of "Insects", the French naturalist, animal behaviorist, entomologist, and popular science writer Jean-Henri Casimir Fabre, once described this creature in detail and gave them the figurative name "peristaltic small intestine".

Xiao San gave a close-up of the two bugs in time.

I saw that these two insects were about six or seven centimeters long, with white skin with some yellow, black heads, and a bunch of pincer-shaped small mouths, with circles of folds on their bodies.

Especially the one that Liu Danqing pinched with his right hand and wanted to hand it to Xiao Weiwei, which was constantly contracting, twisting, and struggling, and it really looked like a peristaltic small intestine.

"Master Qing, hurry up and give us a sample to see how this thing is eaten. ”

"It's disgusting, it's disgusting, isn't this thing a maggot. ”

"I was always scolded by the neighbor's aunt for the evil obstacle in my heart, and I didn't feel it, but I looked at this worm and knew how vicious the old lady was. ”

"Master Qing, don't pretend, if you have the ability, you can eat one first, I don't believe you dare to ...... like this"

"Vomit ......"

Liu Danqing saw that Xiao Weiwei refused to take the worm, so he pinched out the black head of the larva of the longhorn beetle, put the white and chubby body into the end, and bit it down, leaving only a small black head pinched in his finger.

In the close-up of Xiao San, the audience clearly saw that at the moment when Liu Danqing bit it, it burst into a pulp!

Burst!

If it is a popping pulp urine cow pill cow pill, people who see it may have a flying heart.

But is it a bug bursting the pulp, or is it a bug that looks like a maggot popping the pulp?

"Vomit ......"

Even the author couldn't write anymore and wanted to retch a few times.

There was also a wail in the live broadcast room.

"I'll you, I'm eating instant noodles, come on, I'll spray the noodles on the computer. ”

"Young man, you are perverted! perverted! perverted! Say important things three times. ”

I silently looked at the takeaway I ordered, popped the urine cow balls, and gently gave it to my salivating roommate, and when he finished eating, I would invite him to watch the replay. ”

"Weiwei, come one, Weiwei, come one!"

"Let's get a little bit!"

Now Xiao Weiwei was looking at Liu Danqing who was chewing, and asked carefully, "How does it taste?"

Liu Danqing looked intoxicated and said: "It's not bad, it's a little sweet, but the skin is a little old and hard to chew!"

"Hurry up, you can have one, I'll continue to find a few, it's lunch, there is a lot of food on this grassland, but there is no stable place to cook." ”

Liu Danqing handed Xiao Weiwei another longhorn beetle larva on the ground, and continued to look for food in the trunk with a mountain opening knife.

Xiao Weiwei pinched the larva of the longhorn beetle and watched it keep twisting around, with a hesitant expression.

After thinking about it, she took out her phone and asked, "Friends, do you think I want to eat this thing?"

The comment area is full of "eat!"

"Okay! Eat, eat! I listen to you. ”

Xiao Weiwei learned from Liu Danqing to pinch the head of the larva of the longhorn beetle, put the worm body into her mouth, and bit it down.

A small face immediately crumpled.

After a few hard chews and swallowed the larvae, Xiao Weiwei finally let out a deep breath.

"How's it going, how does it taste?"

"Is it delicious, sweet or not?"

There was a sound of inquiry in the live broadcast room, and Liu Danqing had just been disgusted, and now they were all curious about the taste of this Tianniu larvae.

Of course, these people do not include Lin Ruoyan, and Mr. Lin, who was busy looking at his daughter, is now covering his mouth, and he doesn't know how many times he has scolded Liu Danqing.

And Xiao Weiwei's twin cousins were also peeking at the live broadcast, and the two looked at each other at this time, it seemed that when they met Xiao Weiwei in the future, they would have to retreat.

Only Xiao Weiwei's cousin Lin Zixu was showing off to his classmates: "Look, this is my sister, it's not fierce, it's just these big maggots, one bite at a time." ”

The surrounding group of college students nodded their heads one by one, indicating that Sister Ru was convinced.

I don't know if Xiao Weiwei should be happy or happy if she hears these compliments?

Xiao Weiwei also has a big heart, and she can still smash her mouth, and replied: "The taste is okay, it's not weird, it's indeed a little sweet, but the taste is too strange, and the psychological shadow is too big." ”

"Find another one, Weiwei, give it, you eat first. ”

Liu Danqing, who had worked hard to rummage, had a new harvest, he handed a longhorn beetle larva to Xiao Weiwei, and then continued to rummage through his head.

After searching for more than ten minutes, the two of them each ate seven or eight larvae of the longhorn beetle, leaving a mess, and returned to the camp with two large bundles of dry branches.

When he returned to the camp, Liu Danqing passed by a clump of trees, and was attracted by the little white on the trees.

"Look, what do these look like?"

Liu Danqing picked the small white flowers on a tree and asked Xiao Weiwei.

Xiao Weiwei looked at it and replied, "This flower is really strange, it looks a bit like a small brush." ”

"Yes" Liu Danqing nodded and continued: "It's like a brush, so the Botswana people call them brush trees, these brushes have a lot of fluff in them, these fluff are good helpers for making fires, and good ignition materials." ”

"Weiwei, let's collect a little, it will make it easier to make a fire and save our energy. ”

After picking a handful of small brush flowers and stuffing them into their pockets, the two returned to the camp.

Now that Liu Danqing doesn't have to work alone, Xiao Weiwei, as an auxiliary worker, is becoming more and more proficient.

Liu Danqing found a wooden plank, cut it flat, cut it and made a small hole in the edge, put it on the ground, and put a leaf in the place of the small hole.

Then he found a straight branch, rounded one end, and carved a scratch on the other.

"Audience friends, now it's time to rub the fire, I'm going to use my 550 paracord shoelaces again, many old friends already know how to make a fire, but now I want to emphasize it. ”

"Unless you're particularly skilled with the bow, you'd better be like me, tie a piece of shoelace to both thumbs, get it stuck in the scratch at the top of the rod, and start spinning at a constant speed. ”

"The biggest role of this lace now is that we can not only exert downward force, create more friction, but also prevent our hands from sliding, so that we can avoid that kind of mechanical hand lifting movement, so that the friction part continues to heat. ”

"Making a fire is a very physically demanding job, and if the proficiency is not high enough, the failure rate will be high, so the easier the method, the more stable it is. ”

"Although the bow drill method seems to be more advanced, and people with high proficiency can quickly light the fire, but all this is based on proficiency, otherwise, just making a qualified bow drill will consume a lot of your physical strength and time, and after consumption, you may not be able to get a qualified bow drill. ”

When Liu Danqing kept rubbing and rubbing, Xiao Weiwei also started her auxiliary work.

First of all, she found some hay, kneaded it vigorously in her hands, and rubbed the grass stems apart, and then she took out the plush in the brush flowers, put it in the kneaded hay, made a bird's nest shape, and placed it on Liu Danqing's right hand.

Then, she began to make ignitions of various sizes.

The smallest is a twig as a stick, followed by a twig the thickness of chopsticks, and then a finger-thick twig.

Eventually, she wrenched or cut off all the branches she had cut down to make a piece of firewood.

Although the rainy season has begun in November, the air in Botswana is still very dry on days when it does not rain.

So Liu Danqing just rubbed and rubbed for nearly twenty minutes, and the green smoke coming out of the friction position was already quite thick.

Liu Danqing picked up the drill rod, carefully knocked on the drill board, shook the remaining debris on the two onto the leaves, and then picked up the leaves and poured the debris into the velvet nest made by Xiao Weiwei.

Holding the velvet nest, Liu Danqing began to blow towards it gently and continuously.

With sufficient oxygen, the velvet nest began to emit thick white smoke, followed by a "boom", and orange-red flames rose up.

Carefully placing the velvet nest on the lightly laid hay mat, Liu Danqing began to add hay and twigs to it, and as the fire grew, the fuel on it gradually increased.

"HOHO~, once again the fire was successful, although I have drilled wood to make fire many times, but every time I succeeded, I felt like I had a big victory, comfortable and happy. ”

Xiao Weiwei also sat down next to Liu Danqing, looked at the fire and said intoxicatedly: "That's true, every time I make a successful fire, I like to look at the fire like this, and I feel that it is really moving." ”
