Chapter 600: Adventures in Barren Mountains

Looking at the disgraced faces of the three people, Ke Hong knew that they had not found food. So they began to toss the bonfire again www.biquge.info and Ke Hong instructed Dong Qingyue: "Yueyue, you look at the bonfire, when the fire is about to go out, pay attention to spread the firewood as much as possible into a vertical one, don't pile the bonfire too high." ”

"Why?" Dong Qingyue asked curiously with a blink of her beautiful big eyes.

"In this kind of damp place, a longitudinal campfire can burn longer." Ke Hong explained with a smile, "Because of this kind of flat campfire, the height of the flame is relatively low, and the high temperature point is close to the ground, which can effectively dissipate moisture. And if the campfire is piled too high, the high temperature of the flame is too far from the ground, and the moisture penetrates into the firewood, and the fire will be extinguished quickly. ”

"So that's the case...... Dong Qingyue said suddenly, then holding her hands, looking at Ke Hong with admiration on her face and smiling: "Then, husband, what should we do next?" ”

"You're here watching the campfire, I'm going to find something." Ke Hong stood up and said, Dong Qingyue hurriedly took his hand, and said pitifully: "Take someone with me, I don't want to stay here alone." ”

Ke Hong hesitated, looked at the bonfire, and estimated that it should be fine, so he nodded.

Dong Qingyue snorted happily and followed behind Ke Hong in a hurry.

"Ah Hong, what are we going to do?" Dong Qingyue asked with a smile like a little girl. Ke Hong looked around and said, "Look for food, find water, make a shelter from the wind and rain, it's the rainy season, you have to build it early." ”

"So many things, is it too late?" Dong Qingyue asked hesitantly, looking at the sky, "It's already getting dark." ”

"yes, I guess it will be completely dark in another two hours." Ke Hong looked up and said, "So, let's set up a trap and find water first, and then bring the materials back to the campfire and build a shed." ”

"Okay." Dong Qingyue nodded, blinked her eyes and asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?" ”

"Yes." Ke Hong said, pulling a vine from a tree, "See this vine?" It's called a water vine, and if you cut it open, water will drip out of it. There are a lot of these vines in this area, and you can tell them apart from the three-petaled leaves and hairy stems and leaves, in short, just fill the two kettles for the time being. It's the rainy season and there should be no shortage of water. ”

Dong Qingyue nodded, and began to cut off those vines to receive water according to what Ke Hong said.

Ke Hong, on the other hand, began to set traps with things like branches, shoelaces, and stones.

The technique of setting up is still the same as the last time I was trapped with Ye Wanjun, arrange the traps on the path that looks like small animals moving forward, and you can also add a little bait such as grasshoppers to increase the success rate. But it was a very time-consuming task, and by the time Ke Hong had prepared six or seven traps, more than an hour had passed, and it was already getting dark.

"Alright, let's go back to the campfire." Ke Hong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We have to go back and take care of the campfire." ”

However, Ke Hong's longitudinal bonfire still burns vigorously, using three thicker branches stacked horizontally into a triangle, lowering the height of the flame and increasing the area of the flame, such a bonfire can burn well even in such a humid place. When they returned, the campfire was still burning strongly.

With a little firewood, the bonfire is burning again. But on the other hand, on Wu Geng's side, it was miserable. Ke Hong and Dong Qingyue tossed outside for a long time, and when they came back, the bonfire of these three people had not yet been lit.

Ke Hong didn't know if they "borrowed fire" from their side halfway through, but even if they borrowed it, the fire was still not lit at this time. It is inevitable that in this deep mountain and old forest, it has recently coincided with the rainy season, and the extremely humid environment, Ke Hong spent more than an hour lighting the bonfire with the help of that flammable resin, let alone these three laymen.

Ke Hong fiddled with the bonfire, then touched Dong Qingyue's head and asked, "Are you hungry?" ”

"Well, a little." Dong Qingyue pouted and said pitifully, "I didn't eat much at noon, but it doesn't matter." Since you're here to survive in the wilderness, you can't eat enough, isn't that the same as those who bring a bunch of snacks? ”

"Hmm...... You wait here, I'll go find something to eat and come back. Ke Hong smiled slightly, Dong Qingyue immediately stood up, pouted and complained: "I don't, I want to follow you, I will follow you wherever you go, don't leave me." ”

"Why are you so clingy today?" Ke Hong curiously pinched Dong Qingyue's tender little face and asked.

"I want it anyway." Dong Qingyue snorted, Ke Hong touched her brain dotingly: "Okay, then you can follow." ”

Ke Hong took Dong Qingyue to walk around in the woods, in fact, this kind of food source in the deep mountains and old forests is very sufficient, but the key to survival in the wild is to be patient, not to say that you can find what you want.

Therefore, after shopping for a while, they only picked some wild fruits and the like, Dong Qingyue rubbed her beautiful belly and muttered, "Ah Hong, aren't we going to check those traps?" ”

"Don't be stupid, it's only been so long since those traps were set, how can you take the bait so quickly. Animals usually come out at night to feed, so let's check them tomorrow morning. Ke Hong coaxed, then squatted down in front of a tree and dug up the soil.

"Ah Hong, what are you doing? I don't eat bugs, I'd rather be hungry than eat. Dong Qingyue puffed up her cheeks and complained.

"Don't worry, I won't eat it if you want to." Ke Hong sneered, and then pulled out something like a potato.

"What is this?" Dong Qingyue asked curiously, Ke Hong pointed to a plant above and said, "The tuber of a plant, you can basically see it as some kind of yam, to put it bluntly, it is a potato." Will you bake it later? ”

"Hmm!" Dong Qingyue bit her lower lip and smiled, "When I was a child, my father also baked potatoes for me on the coal-burning stove, although he only gave me a little salt, but I still remember the taste, it was delicious." ”

"Well, let's go back first." Ke Hong smiled with the four fist-sized potatoes that were planed out, and walked back with Dong Qingyue.

However, when they went back, Wu Geng and the others had finally built a bonfire. Although how it was born, everyone knows it.

Ke Hong knew very well that it was impossible for them to light a vigorous bonfire with the previous method, at most they could light a little spark, and after they left, they suddenly lit a bunch of vigorous bonfires......

"Alright, let's bake potatoes." Ke Hong smiled at Dong Qingyue, put the water tank for boiling water on the bonfire, and then peeled the potatoes and put them directly into the water tank.

Then, Ke Hong took out a few cruet bottles from his bag......

"Ah Hong, why are you still carrying this!" Dong Qingyue said with some tears and laughter.

"What's the matter, it's not a filling food anyway." Ke Hong grinned, "I'm a chef, and when I was killed in the wilderness, it's not strange to have some seasoning on me, right?" Anyway, I just can't stand it, just eat these foods without adding any seasonings, it's a waste of precious food. ”

"Okay." Dong Qingyue pursed her lips and smiled, pressed her lower lip with her index finger and said, "Ah...... The scent wafted out. ”

"Smelly, right? Add some salt and cumin, and add some five-spice powder......" Ke Hong said as he poured some seasoning into the water tank, and then dropped a few drops of sesame oil, and the aroma of the roasted potatoes became more and more intense.

Ke Hong poked the potatoes in the water tank with a Swiss army knife, and after testing the hardness, he nodded with satisfaction, took the water tank off the bonfire, and then poked a potato, handed it to Dong Qingyue and said with a smile: "Come and taste it, beware of the hot." ”

Dong Qingyue nodded, took the saber and blew the potato anxiously, and then took a careful bite.

"Hmmm! It's powdery on the outside, soft and glutinous on the inside, it's delicious. Dong Qingyue wrinkled her nose and smiled happily, "And this seasoning feels like the baked potatoes I used to eat at the stall in elementary school, so nostalgic." ”

Ke Hong just smiled, and then touched Dong Qingyue's little brain.

However, the smell of baked potatoes lured the three people on the other side. Yu Qing threw a wink at Ke Hong and smiled: "Handsome guy, have you found something to eat?" Divide us a little, it smells so good. ”

"Sorry, the portions are small, we don't have enough to eat ourselves." Ke Hong smiled and said, "If you can't hold on, go back, anyway, this is just survival in the wilderness on your own, and it's not really trapped in the wilderness." ”

"How can you go back so easily, isn't that too inferior?" Wu Geng smiled heartily at this time, "It's okay, Qingqing, you wait by the campfire, let's go out to find food." After dark, many creatures will come out to feed. ”

Yu Qing muttered something, but reluctantly agreed. However, when Wu Geng and Cao Yang left, Dong Qingyue quietly handed Yu Qing a baked potato and said with a smile: "Oh, it's for you." Don't tell them, because it's not enough for five people. ”

"Ahh Thanks a lot! Yu Qing was overjoyed to take it, and after taking a bite of the baked potato, she immediately said intoxicated: "It's delicious!" I didn't expect baked potatoes to be so delicious, and I won't waste food again. ”

Ke Hong smiled on the side, ate his baked potato, and then stood up.

"Ah Hong, what are you going to do now?" Dong Qingyue divided the last baked potato into two halves, handed it to Ke Hong and asked.

"You can eat." Ke Hong scratched her little nose, "I'm going to find some materials to build a shed, hoping to build it before it rains." ”

"But we looked at the weather forecast before we came, and there was no rain for the past three days." Yu Qing said as she nibbled on a potato.

"The weather is uncertain, not to mention that this is a remote mountainous area, and now it's the rainy season, so you'd better start preparing early." Ke Hong smiled and said, "Even if it doesn't rain, the shed can allow the heat to circulate in the shed, and it will be a little warmer to sleep at night." Otherwise, you're just sleeping in the open air, and it's cold even if there's a campfire. ”

"Hmm, I don't understand either, it's just that Wu Geng said that he is very good at playing wild survival, so I followed." Yu Qing muttered aggrievedly, "The result is not like that at all." ”

"He does know a little bit of survival in the wild, and you can see that he used to play it. But apparently there is no survival in the humid environment of the rainforest, in fact, there is no fixed rule for survival in the wild, depending on the environment, the priority is different, and the survival skills are also different. Ke Hong explained with a smile.

"It's amazing, I feel like your boyfriend understands it. What does he do? Yu Qing asked Dong Qingyue curiously.

"He was previously in the special forces and was professionally trained." Dong Qingyue said proudly.

"No wonder it's so powerful...... It's so handsome, a man who has been a soldier is different. Yu Qing said admiringly.

Ke Hong on the side couldn't help laughing when he heard it, he didn't expose Dong Qingyue's lies, stood up and said, "Okay, you guys wait here for a while, I'll go collect some materials and come back to build a shed." The air was quite humid, and I figured it would start raining in two hours, hoping to get it right by then. ”

Now Ke Hong's sense of hearing and smell are different from ordinary people, so he can detect some things that ordinary people can't perceive.

Moreover, his extraordinary memory also makes him remember the route he has traveled before. Remember which plants can be used to build a shed, and which plants are suitable for scaffolding.

Dong Qingyue was not there, he was quick by himself, and he prepared all the materials he roughly needed in a few back and forth.

"This kind of leaf, when it rains, the rain will flow down the veins of the leaves, and then we can put the kettle on the edge of the shed to catch the water." Ke Hong pointed to the fresh branches and leaves on the side and explained, as he built a tripod from three tree trunks the size of a human arm, then set up a second tripod, and spread the trunks on top of the two tripods.

"Wow, it's a shed!" Yu Qing looked at the skeleton of the shed that was beginning to take shape, and said in surprise, "It's amazing!" ”

"Next, just put these branches and leaves like this...... Fold the leaves in half, put them on this skeleton, spread them all over, and it is finished. Ke Hong said with a smile, turning to Dong Qingyue and Yu Qing, "It's simple, right?" Come and help, I think it's going to rain. ”

The three of them were busy working together, and when the shed was about halfway up, a drop of rain fell on the tip of Ke Hong's nose.

"It's raining." Ke Hong looked up, "But it's not raining much yet, and there is also a very prosperous system of branches and leaves above your head to protect from the rain, speed up, it should be able to be completed before the rain is heavy." ”

"Okay, okay." Yu Qing nodded hurriedly, then hesitated for a moment and asked, "That, it will rain later, can I stay with you?" I've decided to kick those two guys......"

"No problem!" Dong Qingyue had no sense of crisis, patted her chest and said confidently: "Leave it to my family Ah Hong!" ”
