Chapter 412: Six-Story Tall Leaves
After resting, Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei set off again, heading downstream along the new stream.
Along the way, the two carefully searched around, trying to find a bamboo forest, but unfortunately the sky did not follow people's wishes, and they walked for about an hour and a half, and still did not see the shadow of bamboo.
"Weiwei, let's camp over there, it looks good. Liu Danqing pointed to the front right and said.
There are several large trees there, and between the big trees is a clearing of more than ten square meters, and there are only a few small shrubs and some weeds in the clearing.
This is the case in the rainforest, unless it is in the middle of a few large trees, it is difficult to find a large clearing, and as long as there is a ray of sunlight, a tree will grow.
This not very flat land is about 40 meters from the stream, and the terrain is quite high, even if it rains heavily at night, the water level rises sharply, and it should not rise to that position.
The two of them walked over and leveled the ground a little, went around to find some dead branches and trees, and then divided the work.
Liu Danqing is in charge of cooking, while Xiao Weiwei is in charge of continuing to find firewood.
He carefully opened the fire fold, the bamboo tube where the fire was kept, and took out the hay on it.
"This fire fold works well, there is still charcoal in it, and you see, now that there is enough oxygen, the charcoal is starting to turn red again, and it also bakes white smoke from the hay next to it. ”
"It's good news, great news, there's no bamboo forest here, and if it's just a fire made from tree branches, even if I go find some resin, it's not very likely that I can make a fire. ”
"If there is no fire, then we are depressed, such a rare marta turtle, such a good ingredient, without fire, we can only give up, that kind of waste is simply the biggest original sin. ”
Liu Danqing said as he carefully poured the charcoal on the hay he had just taken out, and then took out the hay at the bottom, picked some of the driest ones and put them on top of the charcoal, and blew them gently.
Charcoal is much larger and can generate more heat than burning chips, so it quickly ignites the driest hay.
"Bingo! successfully ignited the flame of hope, we are happy tonight, hehehe!"
Liu Danqing smiled happily, but in the eyes of the audience, this guy is laughing lewdly, and with this ambiguous sentence, everyone is imaginative.
"Qing Ye and Wei are happy tonight, and I want to see their happiness!"
"In this year's buzzwords, there must be a place for happiness, and Qing Ye has given a new definition of happiness. ”
"I also want to be happy with my goddess tonight, hehehehe!"
"Hey, hey, hey, if you make me happy, I'll make you hey, hey!"
……
Put some small dead branches on the fire, watching the fire gradually get bigger, Liu Danqing nodded with satisfaction, stood up, and looked at some larger firewood put in, so that the fire continued to grow.
He walked to the side and cut down several small trees one after another and dragged them back to build a grill.
The grill is still a simple four-legged grill, with a frame just over a meter above the fire, twigs and pieces of mata turtle meat that has been marinated for a day.
And the turtle shell also has a new role, that is, it acts as a pot for boiling water.
When I packed it this morning, the bamboo kettle was too large and the bottom was burned a little deformed, so it was abandoned by the two.
What I didn't expect was that I didn't encounter the bamboo forest again for a day today, which was really a bit unlucky for the two people who were moving along the stream.
Fortunately, they caught this mata turtle, and the tortoise shell of the mata turtle with a basin was used as a pot to help them boil a pot of boiling water.
After scooping half a pot of water into the stream with a tortoise shell, Liu Danqing used a stone to build a groove next to the fire, put the Marta tortoise shell on it, and put a few lit pieces of wood under the tortoise shell.
Now, a pile of fire to boil water, a pile of fire to roast the mata turtle meat, although a bit of a waste of firewood, but the efficiency is twice as high, and the mata turtle meat will not be steamed by the steam.
After finishing the kitchen work, Liu Danqing entered the woods next to him with a mountain knife and began to cut down small trees.
"Without the bamboo forest, our workload is more than doubled!"
While chopping, Liu Danqing sighed: "Bamboo is much easier to cut, and the weight is light, whether it is processing or handling, or even building, bamboo is much easier than trees, but unfortunately we couldn't find a bamboo forest, so we can only consume more physical strength." ”
"Fortunately, we caught a Marta turtle today, just now I checked the turtle meat, about ten catties, even if there are still some bones in it, but it should still be able to eat five or six catties of pure meat, enough for us to replenish the energy consumed today. ”
"But what makes me strange is that for two days, we haven't found a single snake, which is really strange in the Amazon, you know, this is a paradise for snakes, in addition to the python, there are many other snakes, such as the largest pit viper, the Amazon giant pit viper and so on. ”
While talking, he slashed, and suddenly, Liu Danqing's whole person jumped backwards like an electric shock, and shouted while jumping: "!"
The high-altitude junior immediately pointed the camera in the direction of Liu Danqing to zoom in, but it looked empty except for the small tree.
"Little three zoom in and give a close-up. Liu Danqing pointed to the small tree in front of him and said.
Xiao San immediately complied with the order and gave Liu Danqing a close-up of the part he was pointing at.
"I'll go, what a big ant!"
The audience in the live broadcast room finally understood what made Liu Danqing jump backwards, it was a black ant that had been about three centimeters long, and the most striking thing was that it had a pair of pincers that were quite huge compared to its size.
After seeing the ants, many people immediately turned on the taunt mode.
"Master Qing, the more you get mixed up, the more you go back, isn't it just a big ant all the time, scaring you like that!"
"It turns out that Qing Ye is not afraid of heaven and earth, but he is afraid of big ants. ”
"This ant is so fat, Master Qing, are you going to roast it and eat it?"
Liu Danqing pointed at the ant and said with palpitations: "Fortunately, I reacted quickly and put away the mountain knife in time, otherwise I would have been miserable." ”
"This is the bullet ant, one of the largest ant species in the world, inhabits Central and South America, mainly distributed in the rainforests of the Amazon region, it is said to be an ant, but its appearance is more like a wasp without wings. , they secrete a toxin that, while not fatal to humans, can cause great suffering. It is said that this pain is worse than being hit by a bullet, hence the name bullet ant. ”
"If I don't put away the chopper in time, the frightened bullet ants will fly and jump, yes, I'm not wrong, they're a kind of jumping ant that jumps on me and gives me a bite when it jumps on me. ”
"On the Schmidt bite pain index, bullet ants are described as causing waves of burning, convulsions, and forget-all pain, which can last for 24 hours without abating. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Danqing couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and then continued to describe: "Isn't it intuitive enough to say this, let me give you a chestnut to taste, a few years ago there was a program called "Our Couple", in which the chubby host Zhang Xinyu experienced a coming-of-age ceremony of the Amazon tribe, allowing the bullet ants to bite themselves. ”
As a result, he was immediately sent to the hospital for rescue, because when a person encounters severe pain, the body will produce a protective mechanism, and the severe pain caused by bullet ants is a wave of pain, which can make people faint and wake up again and again (1,000 words omitted here). ”
"Not everyone can resist this situation, so the great pioneer was sent to the local hospital, fortunately in time, otherwise his life would be in danger, and he was really killed. ”
After speaking, Liu Danqing waved his hand, and the audience only felt that their eyes were bright, and then they saw a mountain knife cutting the bullet ant into two pieces.
"The only good news is that bullet ants are lone rangers, and if they live in groups, we'll have to consider a different campsite. ”
Finally, after taking a look at the bullet ant that had lost its lower body but was still wielding giant pincers on the knife side, Liu Danqing threw it far away, and then continued to cut down trees.
Today, the shelter is still a shack, and the two of them quickly set up the shelves, and then they are ready to expand their search to see if they can find some palm fronds.
If you really can't find it, then you will use the leaves of the nearby cluster of taro plants, although it is a little smaller, only the size of a fan, but you can still pick more and spread it.
The two of them were lucky, or normal, after all, in the Amazon jungle, the palm tree family is the leader of the plant world, and there are many kinds of palm trees.
"The leaves of this palm tree are not long enough, so let's keep looking. ”
"The leaves of this palm tree are too thin, and it is estimated that it will leak, so keep it ready, let's continue to look for it." ”
"Oh my God, this is a palm tree, too?"
Just as the two of them skipped a few palm trees whose leaves were not long enough or thick enough, a trunk more than one meter thick appeared in front of them.
Looking up, huge palm leaves grew on the trunk of the tree, and the two of them couldn't close their mouths.
This palm tree grows strangely, the trunk at a height of seven or eight meters is already comparable to that of an ordinary tree, but there is still a clump of leaves on the trunk.
These leaves have a lot of personality, they grow straight up, and they look more like a pair of chopsticks stuck in a chopstick bucket, and the trunk of a tree is the chopstick bucket.
These leaves were incomparably huge, and they were twenty meters long even with stalks, which made the two of them have the illusion that they had entered the Giant Country.
"Amazon palm, this plant really exists! Oh my God, it's amazing, the leaves are so high in five or six stories, it's amazing!"
Liu Danqing raised his head and muttered in admiration.
And there was also an exclamation in the live broadcast room, I had only heard of the level of a five-story building, and now I finally saw a leaf as high as a six-story building.
