Chapter 144: Water Source

This scorpion is very fat, 8 centimeters long, with a black-brown body, and it looks like a venomous scorpion at first glance.

Wu Yicai is no stranger to scorpions, and when he was a child, he went to the mountains with many friends to catch scorpions.

Scorpions generally live under the rocks that are sheltered from wind and water, and the male scorpion is long and slender, and the female scorpion is fat and stout.

Others generally use small tweezers to catch scorpions, even if the scorpion attacks with a poisonous needle at night, it will not hurt the hand......

Wu Yicai is not like ordinary people, he directly uses his hands to take the scorpion, this scorpion is very particular, the index finger and thumb pinch the poisonous needle behind the scorpion's tail together, so that the poisonous needle is between the fingers, which can also avoid being stung.

As the saying goes, if you walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet.

Wu Yicai often uses this method to take scorpions, but once he was stung by a scorpion, and at that time, Wu Yicai was directly stung and cried, his fingers were swollen, and he was hard, with a red line on his hand.

It was really painful to be stung by a scorpion, and I remember that I was in the clinic for a few days, but Wu Yicai obviously forgot the pain of the scar, and still held it with his hands......

The scorpion in my hometown is much smaller than this big black-brown scorpion, and I don't shudder when I look at it, but this huge black scorpion looks very hideous......

Now that the food is quite sufficient, and there is still a lot of crocodile meat in the backpack, this scorpion Wu Yicai didn't want to try it, so he threw it off the ledge.

The crocodiles below are still there, and these greedy and cunning creatures are really hateful, but luckily there are footholds on this ledge that can be climbed.

And there is a small area with a gentle slope, you can almost stand on it and walk up, it is estimated that the diamond-spotted rattlesnake just now climbed down from the gentle area above.

Now Wu Yicai is very thirsty, thirst has been bothering him since yesterday, he originally thought that he could get some water in the river below, but he ended up encountering a crocodile.

Fortunately, he managed to get out, he was being chased by a crocodile just now, and Wu Yicai's incessant "click" sound in the running was simply a life-urging charm......

Now the most important thing is to find fresh water, and you may be able to find it by climbing up, the texture of this ledge is limestone, and under the action of rain and weathering, the limestone will smell some special shapes.

However, there are still a few steep ledges on it, and it is easy to climb, but I am afraid of encountering a diamond-spotted rattlesnake again.

It was really painful to stand at the 3 cm wide foothold just now, and I could only use my toes to bear the weight.

Wu Yicai didn't want to feel that kind of feeling again, so he had to find a way to test whether there was a rattlesnake on it.

On the side of the ledge grows a tenacious plant, which is rooted in the stone crevices, and grows luxuriantly and vigorously.

It's a little far from this one, and you can't reach it even if you stand on the edge of the ledge, so you can get it with a tool.

There is also a fishing line in the backpack, attach a stone to the top of the fishing line to increase gravity, and then shake the fishing line to throw the stone out.

The stone arced through the air, bypassing the plant's rod, and under the inertia of the throwing and the fishing line, the stone circled around the plant's rod several times, and was already tightly bound.

Wu Yicai slowly pulled the plant towards him, and now he could reach the rod diameter at the top of the plant, and the plant that grew tenaciously in the cracks of the stone was finally uprooted.

There are many ledges on the stone wall, and when you climb the rock, you can't understand the situation, and it is easy to have a dilemma like the close contact with the diamond-spotted rattlesnake just now, but now with this plant about 2 meters long, you can use it to test whether there are dangerous creatures such as snakes on the ledge.

After more than ten minutes, Wu Yi climbed up, and on the way to climb, he didn't find a diamond-spotted rattlesnake, but there were a few small lizards, and now they are standing quite high, and they can look into the distance.

I thought that I could see the place where the shelter was located from a high place, and even if I couldn't see the shelter, I could at least see the huge and deep lake of seepage, but there was nothing......

Even if Wu Yicai used a telescope to observe, all he could see was the one-sided trees washed away by the tsunami torrent, and he didn't see the slightest shadow of the seepage lake.

"Hey~!"

Wu Yicai sighed heavily, his heart was full of depression and helplessness, the scars on his fingers had some signs of infection, and the calf he had scratched by climbing a tree yesterday had been hurting, and it had begun to suppurate, a little slight sign of infection.

Wu Yicai encountered a problem again, the scar infection is very fatal, it will slowly drag down the body, and now Wu Yicai is very thirsty, he is a little dizzy due to excessive lack of water, and his body functions are slowly collapsing!

No way!

I had to find water first, I was looking for some anti-inflammatory medicine, and now the place where Wu Yicai was standing was probably a rugged ridge, and the terrain here was very difficult to walk.

Wu Yicai anxiously searched, there must be some potholes in this kind of limestone texture, there may be stagnant water in it, and after searching for a long time, he finally saw a pothole not far away.

There's water in it and it's rainwater, but the water is really not clean, and there are some mosquitoes in it, damn it, these mosquitoes are really awesome, even if they are close to 20 meters high, they can lay eggs.

The water is certainly undrinkable, and is largely turbid yellow-green, with a layer of sticky floats on the skin, some bubbles on it, and a peculiar smell.

It's good to find water here, although the water quality is not good, but there is still a way to solve it, you can boil the water and purify it, so that at least the water will be clean, but the taste should not be greatly improved.

Now it is imperative to make a fire first, and in this rugged shelter there are many dry bushes and many dead grasses, which can be used to make fire.

The sun is not very hot now, and it is difficult to use a convex lens to make a fire, but there is also a lemon in the backpack, which can be used to generate electricity with a lemon to make a fire, fortunately, I had the foresight to bring some daily gadgets, otherwise this time I encountered a tsunami and was squatted by a crocodile, and I would definitely have to GG.

Finally the fire was raised, and now the only way to boil water is the most primitive method, first burn the stones red, and then put them in a puddle, and the heat of the velvet stones is used to boil the water, so that it is convenient and fast......

As for the smell of the water, it doesn't matter anymore, now the water is bad enough, maybe adding stones to boil water can be negative and positive, to dilute the fishy and pungent smell.

Wu Yicai sat by the fire, adding firewood with both hands, so that the stones in the fire could be quickly heated to boil water.

For a long time, fire has been the greatest consolation in Wu Yicai's heart, hope, the dependence of survival, and an indispensable treasure for survival!
