Put the ignition objects of various grades on the fire in turn, watching the flames get bigger, Liu Danqing gasped and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the most tiring fire so far, I don't know if there is an audience timer, I estimate that the friction time will not be less than an hour." ”

"Now my arm is like being injected with lemon juice, it's very sour, but it doesn't matter, just slow down, now that there is a fire, we have to boil water to drink first, this is our top priority. ”

"Although we used the lemon stalks to replenish some water, it was nowhere near as much as we consumed, and we were now in a moderate state of dehydration. ”

"In addition to fire, there should also be pots to boil water, but fortunately we are not short of bamboo now. ”

Liu Danqing walked to the bamboo forest, found a very thick blue-green bamboo, and cut it.

"For the bamboo pot to boil water, we don't choose yellow dead bamboo, but this thick, green tender bamboo, and I will cut a bamboo segment first. ”

After cutting off the bamboo section, Liu Danqing quickly processed it and made it into a middle opening, with both sides forming an airfoil.

"You see, the wings on both sides of this bamboo are so that it can be firmly erected on the shelf and not easy to roll, and the opening in the middle is for irrigation, and the small opening next to the opening is to make it easier for us to get the water out. ”

"The reason why it was processed like this was because I wanted to drink boiling water as soon as possible, so I gave up the simplest method of boiling water in a bamboo tube. With this current design, it is possible to increase the heating area as much as possible and speed up the boiling speed of water. ”

Walking to the side of the stream, Liu Danqing specially found a narrow place with a relatively rapid flow to draw water.

"Don't be lazy when fetching water, don't fetch water in a wide and calm place, where the water flow is very fast, the oxygen filled in the water will kill a lot of viruses and bacteria, and the water quality is relatively better, while in a wide place, the water flow on both sides is like semi-stagnant water, and there will be many viruses and bacteria. ”

Back by the fire, Xiao Weiwei had already picked a large stack of palm leaves and put them on the ground, and now she was estimated to pick them for the third time.

Liu Danqing had just set up the shelf and put the "bamboo pot" on it, and Xiao Weiwei came back again with a large stack of palm leaves.

"Weiwei, the palm fronds should be almost enough, now all we have to do is clean up the ground, find materials and build shelter. ”

shouted Xiao Weiwei, and the two of them got busy.

"First of all, we need to remove weeds and dead leaves from the ground, the bare ground can effectively organize snakes and insects to get close, for them, it will be very unsafe to be exposed to the air without shelter. ”

The two of them worked together and quickly finished tidying up the ground with branches.

After cleaning up the ground, the two went to cut a few more bamboos and dragged them back, Xiao Weiwei took the M9 Army thorn to cut the branches and leaves, and Liu Danqing estimated the size, cutting the bamboo into four long, two middle and two short, the shorter the thicker, the longer and thinner.

First, two stubby bamboos of about two meters or less are buried in the ground and erected, then the two middle bamboo segments are tied diagonally to the top of the stubby bamboo, and finally the four long bamboos are tied to the middle bamboo diagonally.

Liu Danqing pointed to the newly built house frame and said: "The shelf has been built, this kind of house, the local people call it a shed, its biggest advantage is good waterproof performance, the biggest disadvantage is poor thermal insulation performance, but there is no need for insulation here, so it is very popular." ”

"Next, we're going to cover the palm fronds, or that's the principle, first down and then up, layer by layer, so that the rainwater can flow down the palm leaves and not penetrate into our shelter. ”

"When you build the palm leaves, you tear a small hole in the petiole and clip them to the bamboo rungs so that the palm leaves are firmly stuck on the roof. ”

"Then there's the bed frame, and in the Amazon, don't just sleep on the ground, even if it's covered with palm leaves, because a lot of moisture will steam up from the ground and enter the body, causing illness. ”

"Now we don't have time to build a relatively tall bed frame, so we can only use the trunks of dead trees to make a point, there are a lot of dead trees around, we will move them over later, but before that, we will first spread the palm leaves that we have brought back slightly on the ground, so that we can first isolate a lot of moisture and make up for the lack of height of the bed frame. ”

After laying the ground, the two took advantage of the fact that the sky was not completely dark, and moved a dead tree to the woods next to them, and found a lot of dead branches, and Liu Danqing also cut down several small trees.

Cutting off two thick trunks less than two meters long from the dead tree, Liu Danqing placed them on both sides of the shelter to serve as bed frames, then cut some dents on them, and then cut a lot of bamboo to put in the dents.

A jungle version of the bamboo bed is complete.

"Finally, we spread all the palm fronds that we had collected slightly, spread a few more layers, and spread them thickly, so that we could sleep comfortably at night. ”

"There is still a little palm leaf left, we can't waste it, we want to use it as the roof of the fire shelter, and I will leave it to Weiwei to build the fire shelter, and I will make a simple fish cage trap and put it in the creek while it is not completely dark, and see if I can catch a few small fish for breakfast tomorrow." ”

Xiao Weiwei looked at the materials for building the fire shelter, and muttered: "It's strange today, they all say that there are many snakes in the Amazon jungle, but I didn't see any of them all the way, and I was blind to this snake staff made by Qingqing." ”

Liu Danqing opened a piece of bamboo on the top, leaving only the position of the root to be connected, and then used the strip to weave it into the shape of a flare.

Then he made a small flare and fixed it in reverse inside the large flare, and a simple and rough fish cage trap was ready.

With the fish cage trap, Liu Danqing came to the narrowest part of the creek, lowered it, and used some dirt to hold it down.

"This trap is so rough that I can only completely resign myself to seeing if any small fish that don't have long eyes to hit it, but I can't help it, I don't even have bait now, it's too dark to look for it. ”

Back at the camp, the two first sharpened two bamboo bowls, poured boiling water that had been boiling for a while into the bamboo bowls, and then sat on the edge of the bed, took out their mobile phones, and interacted with the audience.

After resting for a while and replenishing some water, Liu Danqing began his bamboo carving work again.

Bamboo kettles, bamboo cups, bamboo bowls, bamboo chopsticks, bamboo javelins.

After the production, Liu Danqing took out a parachute and hung it on both sides of the shed, let it fall freely, and form a small triangular space, this is their mosquito net, there are many mosquitoes in the Amazon at night, with the mosquito net, Liu Danqing can sleep peacefully.

As for Xiao Weiwei, she was naturally on duty, she sat cross-legged on the bed, her back half leaned on the mosquito net, and her front half was facing the fire, but she didn't worry about how many mosquitoes would bite her.

Wait until the second half of the night, Liu Danqing got up on duty again and changed Xiao Weiwei to sleep.

The first night at the Amazon was spent so peacefully.

The next morning, as soon as a glimmer of white light lit up in the jungle, Liu Danqing tucked his trousers into his shoes, tightened his shoelaces, and walked with a bamboo pot to the place where he had placed the fish cage trap yesterday.

When I picked it up and put it in, it was quite heavy, but when I took it up, it was full of rotten leaves, there was not a single fish, and the only living thing was a big spider.

Reluctantly throwing the broken fish cage to the stream, Liu Danqing filled a pot of water and strolled back to the shelter.

Seeing that Xiao Weiwei had already rubbed her eyes and got out of the tent, Liu Danqing started the junior.

"Dear viewers and friends, good morning, welcome to the wilderness survival couple show - out of the Amazon, I'm Danqing. ”

"Good morning everyone, I am Weiwei, holding a parachute suit, I slept well at night, the parachute not only blocked the mosquitoes, but also weakened the cries of various animals. ”

Liu Danqing threw all the remaining firewood into the fire, put the bamboo pot on the fire, and then turned around and began to pack the parachute.

"Now, I'm going to pack my parachute, it's a great thing that can greatly improve our quality of life in the rainforest, and it has to be treated gently. ”

Carrying the parachute bag on his back, Liu Danqing stood up and walked back to the fire, looked at the water in the bamboo pot and said:

"Today, our goal is to find a way to hunt some fat and protein while following the creek, and to rush in the rainforest, in addition to the large water consumption, the energy consumption is not small, so we must replenish energy in time to avoid falling into a weak state. ”

"Now, I'm going to make a fire fold, which helped us a lot the other day in Africa, and now that we're in the Amazon jungle, it would be much easier to have a fire fold with us. ”

"After all, yesterday the weather was good, and we found a good fire, but it still took a lot of physical effort to raise the fire, and there was also the factor of our good luck, if we failed once, it would be unimaginable, and we would have to spend another hour rubbing and rubbing. ”

Liu Danqing walked into the bamboo forest, found the thickest bamboo, cut it off, and then took the bottom bamboo and brought it back to the shelter.

"This is the container of the fire fold, and now I'm going to stuff the bottom of the bamboo tube with hay, which we pulled out yesterday when we were cleaning the camp, and which was thrown not far from the fire, and after a night, it looks a little dry. ”

Liu Danqing stuffed some hay into the bamboo tube, made the hay into a bowl shape, then picked a few small pieces of burning wood from the fire and put them in the bamboo tube, then cut a few pieces of small wood from the top of the bed frame and threw them inside, and then used hay to plug the top.

"When the fire is done, the burning wood will turn into carbon in an oxygen-deficient environment, and the hay on top that is not too tight will provide a little bit of oxygen, so that it will not go out because of the lack of oxygen, and hopefully it will last until the evening. ”
