Chapter 215: Jungle Survival (1)

On the surface of the gentle shallow water, countless black ants are scattered on the surface of the water and swim and hover, and a jet-black dagger, tied to the wooden stick, is made into a spear-like weapon, and the sword is quietly suspended above the ants on the water surface, still motionless.

At this moment, I suddenly saw a lot of ripples on the water, and a crucian carp the size of a palm swam towards the ants, and then it surfaced, opened its mouth and swallowed the black ants, which was obviously a rare delicacy for it.

But when this crucian carp twisted its 'fat' body and poked its head out again, the tip of the knife suspended above it for a long time stabbed at it in an instant, and immediately pierced it on the body of the knife, killing it with one blow.

Satisfied, she quickly took the crucian carp in her hand, Xiao Jinxuan turned around, faced Zhou Xianyu on the shore, raised the fish and waved it very excitedly, and then threw it to the other party, and then she started a new round of preoccupied fish hunting action.

Catch the fish that was thrown over, easily catch it, and look at Xiao Jinxuan, who pulled up Luo's skirt and stood in the shallow water, although Zhou Xianyu had a smile on his face, but in the depths of his eyes, he 'revealed' a trace of pity.

After the two of them went ashore, because they had been hungry for a long time, their stomachs screamed one after another, so Zhou Xianyu immediately prepared to go down to the river, catch some fish and roast them to eat.

And Xiao Jinxuan, who had recovered from the frozen state, saw that Zhou Xianyu had a lot of wounds on his body, and he had been soaked in water for a long time, so she volunteered to fish for the other party to eat.

When Zhou Xianyu started, he really only thought that the other party was joking, and this worry about him actually made him very satisfied, and he never thought that Xiao Jinxuan, such a daughter of a family, could really catch fish.

But when Xiao Jinxuan, like him, borrowed the dagger he carried, and found a wooden stick with a tenacious 'sex' thickness that was very suitable for making a gun, Zhou Xianyu had already gradually felt that the other party might really be able to catch fish.

Because a dagger and a wooden stick can make a simple spear very well, although it is said that it is not strong enough when it is a weapon, it is not a problem if it is used for fishing.

What made Zhou Xianyu even more unexpected was that Xiao Jinxuan not only made a spear, but also walked into the forest, 'made' an ant nest, and was not afraid at all, in front of him, the black ant nest was broken into several petals.

Then Xiao Jinxuan didn't care about it, and the ants that were crawling all over the ground in an instant picked up an ant nest so naturally, ran into the river, and poured all the remaining black ants on the surface of the river.

And after seeing this scene, Zhou Xianyu couldn't understand that Xiao Jinxuan was using black ants as bait, and sure enough, in just a while, there were countless fish of different sizes, all of which couldn't help but swim over.

And what surprised Zhou Xianyu even more was that Xiao Jinxuan could not only attract the fish, but also almost catch up with the knife, as long as the spear entered the water, he could basically stab a fish up.

Curious, Zhou Xianyu hurriedly asked Xiao Jinxuan how she learned these things.

But the answer given to him by the other party was that he was often hungry in Meizhuang when he was a child, so as long as he went to the mountains to collect branches and wood, he would go into the water to catch fish and roast them nearby to relieve his hunger.

And when Xiao Jinxuan was full, she had to catch a few and bake them for her mother and brother to take back, and this good skill of catching fish was also practiced at that time, due to the pressure of life.

Fiddling with the fish caught by Xiao Jinxuan, Zhou Xianyu's heart was very sour, because when he was very young, he lost his mother and was bullied, and sometimes he even felt that he was an extremely unfortunate person in this world.

But now looking at Xiao Jinxuan, the slender back standing in the river, Zhou Xianyu feels that his childhood experience is nothing compared to the other party.

At least when Emperor Ming came back afterwards, those concubines who had abused him died one by one, although he didn't want to admit it, but Zhou Xianyu knew that he had actually been very well protected by this father.

At least in these years, although he has lost his mother, he has no worries about food and clothing, and he still has the position of a glorious and honorable prince, not to mention Xiao Jinxuan, in order to fill his stomach, he is obviously a daughter of a family, but he has to go into the water to fish like a country girl.

The pity in his heart was even worse, Zhou Xianyu secretly swore that as long as he was there in the future, he would protect Xiao Jinxuan well, so as not to let the other party be so lonely and helpless, like a lonely 'girl' without anyone to take care of him.

Seeing that there were more than a dozen fish stacked in front of him, Zhou Xianyu immediately called Xiao Jinxuan back, and couldn't bear the other party in the cold river water, and continued to stand.

After a busy day, the hungry two people can be regarded as grilling the fish and eating it in their mouths

When the snowy and tender fish 'meat', mixed with a little burnt, was swallowed into the stomach, Xiao Jinxuan and Zhou Xianyu's faces couldn't help but 'show' a look of satisfaction.

The two of them are really hungry, there is an old saying that when you are hungry, you are as sweet as honey, and when you are full, honey is not sweet, I guess this is what they are talking about now.

In fact, these grilled fish are not topped with any seasoning, it stands to reason that even if the grilling technique is good, it may not be fragrant, but Xiao Jinxuan and the others will be too hungry, so I can't help but feel that this grilled fish is simply a rare delicacy in the world.

A dozen small grilled fish were eaten up in less time, and with food in their stomachs, their bodies were warmer, and their physical strength had recovered a lot.

Immediately, Zhou Xianyu took a few pieces of cold charcoal from the fire that had been burned out, and put it in his arms, then stood up first, and smiled at Xiao Jinxuan and said:

"Xuan'er, now that our stomachs are full, we have to find a way to get out of this mountain forest, it will not be wrong to follow the stream, not only will it not 'lose' our way, it will also provide us with water and food, and will lead us out of the forest."

As for how to identify the direction in the wild and how to survive, Xiao Jinxuan knew that Zhou Xianyu was an expert, so when the other party said what to do, she naturally listened to it, after all, she really didn't have any experience in dealing with this kind of primeval jungle where there were dangers and countless beasts.

After determining the goal, the two of them walked downstream along the river, and it was not until dusk and evening that Zhou Xianyu signaled that Xiao Jinxuan could stop and rest.

Then he said with some annoyance: "I really didn't expect that this mountain forest is still 'very' big, we have walked for most of the day, and we haven't seen people yet, but it's getting dark, and the night is the time for wild beasts, we seem to have to spend the night here tonight, while the sky is not completely dark, Jinxuan, we have to build a simple camp tent." ”

The night in the mountains and forests is not only as dark as ink, but also often cold and biting, if there is no shelter that can be sheltered, it is estimated that even if you are not frozen to death, a wind chill and fever are inevitable.

And in this kind of uninhabited, wilderness and forest, if you are sick, you can't expect to be treated in time, and once the illness is delayed, then the next thing waiting is probably death.

So this is also the reason why Zhou Xianyu must set up a camp tent, he said that he has internal strength to protect himself, and although it is difficult to endure for a night, he can grit his teeth and pass.

But Xiao Jinxuan can't do it, not only does the other party not know martial arts, but he is also a 'woman', and he can't survive the cold at night, and Zhou Xianyu is reluctant to suffer this crime from the other party, so even if he is working hard, he has to take advantage of the dark to 'get' a camp tent.

Xiao Jinxuan also has no experience in camping, so she can only follow Zhou Xianyu and help out.

Zhou Xianyu has already taken her away, away from the stream, according to his words, animals are day and night habits, and grow to the river to drink, so after nightfall, you must not stay near the water source, otherwise once a large beast comes to drink, it will be quite dangerous.

So now Zhou Xianyu has taken the lead in penetrating the dense forest, and stopped in a clearing in the forest, more than 100 meters away from the water source, and is ready to choose to spend the night here tonight.

Then Zhou Xianyu instructed Xiao Jinxuan to sweep aside all the muddy leaves and dead grass on the ground around him with wooden sticks, and the reason for this was to prevent poisonous snakes from passing by at night.

Because snakes have a special 'nature', they like to drill into grass and rotten leaves, as long as the ground is clean and empty, snakes will generally be next to each other, bypassing, and will not cross the 'exposed' on the dry ground.

As for Zhou Xianyu, he himself 'drawn' the dagger, and then entered the forest, and after a while, he carried back a lot of rattan, some wooden poles with the thickness of three fingers, and countless wide 'fat' leaves.

Then I saw Zhou Xianyu, threw these things to the ground, and then walked to the front of the camp, between the two giant trees about one meter apart, using the two trees as a setting point, and using the wooden pole retrieved, hanging horizontally between the two trees to make a roof.

Then the wide leaves are spread on this wooden shed, so that they can shelter from the wind and cold at night, and then the rest of the useless leaves are spread on the ground in the wooden shed, which becomes a natural 'bed' couch, which can be directly laid on when resting, not only can prevent 'moisture', but also does not have to contact with the ground.

Seeing Zhou Xianyu, after three or two efforts, he set up a small tent and came out, Xiao Jinxuan was really secretly surprised to see it, but looking at the rattan that had not been used, she couldn't help but ask suspiciously:

"Xianyu, what are these rattans used for, are they used to make fires at night?"

Hearing this, Zhou Xianyu, who happened to lay the leaves under the shed, stood up a few steps and came to Xiao Jinxuan, pinched her chin dotingly, and then said with a smile:

"Xuan'er, these rattans are all wet, you think of it, you want to use them to make a fire, I will take them for another use, I'll tell you later, keep it secret now."

Seeing Zhou Xianyu's mysterious appearance, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but smile, although she was more curious, but she had always been 'sexual' and quiet, and she couldn't help but secretly guess that the other party was going to 'make something' weird.

Then, Xiao Jinxuan saw Zhou Xianyu, squatting in front of the pile of rattans, busy all the time, and then took these rattans again, walked back to the forest, and told Xiao Jinxuan that he would not come back after a while.

Xiao Jinxuan, who was tired for a day, got into the wooden tent when she heard the words, originally wanted to sit and rest and wait quietly for Zhou Xianyu to come back, but who knew that as soon as this tense 'spirit' was relaxed, it didn't take much effort to sit and fall asleep with heavy eyelids.
