Chapter 16 Wood Milk Fruit
The next day, the weather was cloudy, and at six o'clock in the morning, Ning Hao, who was uncomfortable, woke up.
He slept badly that night, and his face and hands were bitten by mosquitoes and unknown insects for several packs, and his whole body was itchy and uncomfortable.
Turning his head to look around, the rainforest was quite quiet in the morning, except for the occasional birdsong, and the fire had been extinguished for a long time from last night.
picked up the camera next to the wooden box and looked at it, the live broadcast was still on, but there were only a few people in the live broadcast room.
"Good morning, everyone!"
said hello to the camera, but there was no response, apparently all of them were legendary "dead people".
"Good morning host!"
Xiaomei responded by saying hello to him, and seemed to be in a rather happy mood.
"Well, good morning. β
Nodding weakly, Ning Hao stood up and stretched his waist.
Then, he looked up at the sky, which was mostly obscured by leaves, and his eyes were full of worry.
Looking at this gloomy weather, it is very likely to rain today, and if you can't build a shelter to shelter from the rain, you will definitely become a soup chicken.
After finding some dry wood around and lighting the fire again with flint and steel, Ning Hao roasted a few bananas for breakfast, and then immediately set off to continue looking for water.
The low-lying valley he explored yesterday was dry and there was no trace of a water source, so today he was targeting another low-lying area in the opposite direction.
Packing up his gear and getting on the camera, he regrouped and set off again.
β¦β¦
"The trees here are more lush than the ones I went to yesterday, and I have a hunch that there will be a river not far ahead. β
Chopping the dense branches and leaves blocking the road in front of him with a mountain opener, Ning Hao didn't care if there were living people in the live broadcast room, and he muttered to the camera by himself.
Walking in the mountains without roads is not a simple matter, because he can't see the situation under his feet clearly, Ning Hao fell several times along the way, and the clothes on his body were also scratched by branches in several places.
After walking for a long time, he finally had a new harvest and successfully discovered a fruit tree.
He did not know the fruit tree either, and it looked rather peculiar, for its fruit did not grow on the branches like the peach and pear trees, but in clusters on the stems and thick old branches.
The fruits were about the size of plums, some green and some orange, and they looked like they were edible.
However, for the sake of insurance, Ning Hao did not eat it directly, but aimed the camera at the fruits: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you know what kind of fruit this is?"
It's more than nine o'clock in the morning, and the tropical rainforest with good scenery attracts it, and the popularity of the live broadcast room is not bad, about two or three hundred people.
As a new anchor who has only been on the air for two days, such popularity is already very good.
"Don't be cowardly, just eat!"
"This seems to be a wood milk fruit, I bought it when I traveled to YN, and it was delicious. β
"I'm from YN, and we all call it sour fruit there, and when we were kids, we would go to the mountains to pick this fruit and eat it. β
"Hello YN fellow in front! Our side is called Sanya fruit, the ripe color is purple-red, and the green ones are not ripe yet, but the anchor can pick some orange ones to taste. β
"Blowing up so many YN brothers?"
"GD said that we also have it here, and they are all memories from childhood!"

β¦β¦
"It's the first time I've heard of it, so I'm going to try it for everyone to see how it tastes." β
As he spoke, Ning Hao picked a fruit from the tree, and after peeling off the skin, he saw the flesh divided into three petals inside, and the color looked very much like a dragon's eye, all of which were white and transparent.
Seeing this, Ning Hao finally knew why this fruit was called Sanya fruit again.
Couldn't wait to stuff the whole fruit into his mouth and chew it hard, feeling the juice in his mouth filled with the flesh, Ning Hao suddenly nodded in surprise and said, "It's delicious! There is a lot of juice in this flesh, and it is sweet and sour, very delicious." β
After speaking, Ning Hao immediately took off another peeled skin and stuffed it into his mouth.
"I suddenly feel so thirsty!"
"It looks delicious. β
"This is the rhythm of being a food anchor!"
"The anchor begged for a courier, send me a few catties to taste!"
After eating more than a dozen in a row, Ning Hao stopped, and then picked all the almost ripe wood milk fruits on the tree and put them in his backpack, and started again.
β¦β¦
"Hahaha! Water, I've finally found a water source!"
It didn't take long for Ning Hao's excited laughter to suddenly sound.
Not far ahead, a small stream flowed slowly, without any sound, as if it had appeared in front of him abruptly as if it had miraculously.
At this time, where can Ning Hao care about the live broadcast! Quickly ran to the stream and threw the camera aside, and directly leaned down and drank it.
"Damn, I've really found water. β
"Distressed camera for a second!"
"Camera: MMP!"
β66666β
β¦β¦
Accompanied by a wave of barrage, several gift prompts floated on the public screen.
And only after drinking a full water did Ning Hao pick up the camera.
"Thank you for your gifts, today I finally lived up to expectations and found fresh water, which can be regarded as the first step towards success. β
Flying fish: "666! Congratulations to Brother Ning Hao for finally finding a water source!"
γFlying FishγSending out the plane*1
"Thank you Brother Yu for the plane!"
Looking at the gift prompt on the public screen, Ning Hao hugged his fists again and thanked him.
When the system applied for this live broadcast room, the system did not give him any screen name, but directly chose his real name.
Flying fish: "Walk downstream along this creek and find a place with a good view and flat terrain, and you can set up a shelter." β
Then, the flying fish immediately gave his guidance.
"Well, I understand. β
Ning Hao didn't dare to delay, after all, there was still a lot to do today, and he couldn't waste any more time.
In this way, after walking downstream along the creek for about ten minutes, Ning Hao finally found an open land that was more suitable for building a residence.
Next, the really tiring work had just begun, and it took four or five hours to run back and forth between the two places three times, before Ning Hao transferred the wooden box and all the things inside to the new camp on this side of the stream.
After resting for a while, he began to cut down trees with his knife and prepare to build a shelter.
The structure of the dwelling Ning Hao adopts a tent-like triangular structure, first cutting a few thick tree poles and tying them with toughness rattan to make a frame, then using some thinner branches to tie them in the middle as a support for mulching, and finally covering them with wide banana leaves.
Because considering that it was going to rain soon, it was very likely that there would be rain leakage, so Ning Hao also deliberately covered the banana leaves densely and thickly.
In this way, a shelter that can be sheltered from the wind and rain is considered to have been built.
"How about brothers, my skills are not bad, right?"
Looking at his masterpiece in front of him, Ning Hao was very satisfied with the camera.
"Congratulations to the streamer for obtaining a residence*1!"

"It's very nice, just like the shack in our hometown. β
"This mansion is a batch of 6!"
β¦β¦
"Smack!"
Just as Ning Hao was about to interact with the tourists in the live broadcast room and take the opportunity to rest for a while, he suddenly felt a cold hand and a drop of rain fell on his hand.
