At dusk, the sky above the primeval forest was covered with dark clouds, the mountain wind was whistling, and the mountain rain was coming, in a canyon with ancient trees, Yang Zheng led Staff Officer Lin and Ah Mei to walk forward slowly, and walked the mountain road for most of the day, the three of them looked haggard, exhausted, and physically exhausted.

At this time, Yang Zheng, who was leading the way in front, had a bright eye, looked at the river that appeared in front of him and said excitedly: "Staff Officer Lin, it's just ahead, we've arrived." ”

"Is it there? That's great. Staff Officer Lin said in surprise, his voice a little hoarse.

The three of them moved forward, and soon came to the river, the river is about six or seven meters wide, the river looks very deep, slowly flowing forward, Yang Zheng pointed to the river and said affirmatively: "Staff Officer Lin, this is the river, it is a branch of the Mekong River, from here down the river, it is expected to be able to reach the Mekong River in about two days." ”

"Are you sure that the Mekong River is very long, and from here it used to be a river basin at home or abroad?" Staff Officer Lin asked, looking at the river in front of him with a little more hope and expectation.

"I don't know, I just heard other hunters talk about it, and I haven't walked it." Yang Zheng said uncertainly.

Staff Officer Lin thought of his injury, and didn't say it, but he knew that it was very serious, and if he didn't treat it as soon as possible, he was afraid that he would leave sequelae, and the second half of his life would be ruined. ”

"It's getting dark, let's spend the night here and leave early tomorrow morning." Yang Zheng looked at Staff Officer Lin and said.

Staff Officer Lin looked at the sky and nodded helplessly, Yang Zheng looked at Ah Mei and said, "Ah Mei, you are responsible for collecting dry firewood for use at night, seeing that it won't rain tonight, I'll go get something to eat." ”

"Got it, brother, be careful." Ah Mei hurriedly agreed.

Yang Zheng nodded, carrying a rifle on his back, picked up the mountain knife and set off, the river bank was covered with all kinds of vines, of different sizes and thicknesses, some even climbed to the big tree, wrapped around the trunk, dense, and some vines simply hung down from the big tree, like a thick rope.

Vines are the best bindings in the forest, full of toughness, Yang Zheng quickly locked on a big tree, a lot of vines hung down on the branches, quickly climbed up, selected egg-thick vines and cut them down, cut dozens in one go, and selected some thinner vines and cut dozens of them, and fell on the ground full of piles.

After that, Yang Zheng got off the tree, removed the branches and leaves on the vines, and put them together in a clump of yards, Staff Officer Lin came to help, Yang Zheng couldn't bear Staff Officer Lin to do physical work, and motioned to move to an open place by the river, and put it next to the bonfire for a while to bake, and Staff Officer Lin agreed to come down.

Yang Zheng handed over the carrying of the vines to Staff Officer Lin and left, came to the river, found a still water area to stop, looked left and right, and found that there was a bamboo forest not far away, the thickness of the bamboo bowl, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward, put down a bamboo, took four meters long, removed the branches, and cut the head.

After a while, the head of the bamboo was cut into dozens by Yang Zheng, each thumb size, sharpened, arrow-like, and then separated outward, the other end is still connected with the bamboo pole, the overall look, the head of the bamboo pole seems to be obliquely long with countless branches, scattered and as big as a basin.

Yang Zheng returned to the still water area, looked at the rapids in front of him, and waited patiently, normally, there were fish bubbling out of the still water area ambushed in the rapids area, playing.

After a while, no fish came out of the water, Yang Zheng looked at the sky helplessly, knowing that he couldn't wait any longer, otherwise there would be nothing tonight, so he put down the bamboo pole and picked up the mountain knife and walked along the river bank.

The river bank is overgrown with all kinds of weeds and shrubs, plus there is water, many birds and finches like to come to feed, and naturally it has become a place where snakes concentrate on living, snake meat is already tired for Yang Zheng, so he thought about catching some fish, but unfortunately he waited for a long time and a fish did not look, so he had to continue to look for snakes.

The primitive rainforest snake is the most, and it took a few days to find it, all of which are relatively small, Yang Zheng continued to search, and found a colorful snake on a bush with dense foliage, with the thickness of its arm, hidden in the leaves and almost unrecognizable.

The big snake was devouring a nest of bird eggs, the nest had been overturned, and it fell into the weeds on the ground, Yang Zheng stepped forward quickly, raised the knife in his hand, hacked the big snake to death, picked up a few bird eggs that fell on the grass and did not break them, put them in his pocket, and picked them up after the big snake died.

On the way back, Yang Zheng thought about the waste of the bamboo pole just now, and it was not bad to take it back and burn it, returned to the still water area, picked up the bamboo pole, glanced at the water surface curiously, and found that the two big fish were swimming slowly, spitting blisters, one in front and one behind, very leisurely.

Yang Zheng was overjoyed, grabbed the bamboo pole and threw it at the big fish, poof, the bamboo pole entered the water, the water splashed, the water surface broke the calm, the bamboo pole sank into the water, the other end fell on the river bank, was dragged by the bushes, Yang Zheng quickly grabbed the bamboo pole and lifted it up to see, there were two big fish tied to the small branches, pierced the body.

The fish is very flexible under the water, and a single bamboo must not be pierced, but the bamboo that has been forked is different, and there are dozens of thumb-sized branches, and the head of each branch is sharpened, just like dozens of arrows are installed on the bamboo pole, and it grows irregularly obliquely, covering a large basin, and the success rate of piercing the fish has increased greatly.

The big fish is not dead yet, and it is shaking its tail desperately, but the bamboo is tough and there is no way to break it at all, Yang Zheng hurriedly pulled it ashore, looked at the two big fish and smiled, lucky.

Yang Zheng took the big fish off the branches, found a place near the water, scraped off the scales with a chopping knife, disemboweled, cleaned it, tied it up with a thin rattan and carried it, and returned with a bamboo pole and the big snake.

"Caught a fish?" Staff Officer Lin looked at Yang Zheng in surprise and said, he had a more direct and in-depth understanding of Yang Zheng's ability to survive in the wild, and he admired him more.

"It's a pity that there is no pot, otherwise it will be stewed and eaten." Ah Mei said in surprise.

"Grill and eat, I'll leave it to you." Yang Zheng smiled, walked up, and handed the fish and snake to Ah Mei.

"That's enough, enough for the three of us tonight." Staff Officer Lin exclaimed.

"There is a bamboo forest about 300 meters ahead, I'll cut some to make a bamboo raft, and I'll hand it over to you here." Yang Zheng smiled and turned to leave.

"It's too tiring to move here, why don't you just make a bamboo raft over there?" Staff Officer Lin asked curiously.

"There are too many bushes on the riverbank over there, the soil is loose, and the bamboo raft is not easy to get into the water. Yang Zheng explained.

Staff Officer Lin saw that there was indeed a dirt slope on the bank of the river not far away, and couldn't help admiring Yang Zheng's observation, and said with a smile: "You think thoughtfully, I'll help you carry it, the larger bamboo is suitable, but it is heavy, and it takes a lot of effort to carry it alone." ”

"No, I can do it alone, you keep an eye on your surroundings." Yang Zheng refused and hurried away.
