Xu Qiang and the two picked a lot of fungus and mushrooms here, and filled them with a half-back basket, if they weren't worried that there would be better things to put in nowhere to fit, the two of them would have swept them all away, and even Xu Qiang wanted to pick a few red poisonous mushrooms back for experiments, but was pulled away by Luo Fatzi.

They found more than a dozen red pine trees, all 50 meters tall and 3 meters in diameter. The bark is mottled and covered with pitted folds. The canopy of the tree is covered with pine towers larger than a human fist, which makes Luo Fatzi, who likes to eat snacks, very happy, and bluntly said that it will not be difficult to survive the winter in the future, there are so many snacks to eat.

"Look, Brother Qiang, this is a berry, there are so many, it shouldn't be poisonous, right? Why don't I try one? Luo Fatzi was really excited to see that this place was full of shrubs, and he directly picked one off and wanted to throw it in his mouth.

Xu Qiang didn't stop it, this is not poisonous, but it hasn't matured yet, so it should be more bitter.

"Phew, it's too bitter, it's too astringent." Luo Fatzi licked the broken flesh with the tip of his tongue, and was stimulated by the green taste inside, so he hurriedly threw the berries in his hand.

"Haha, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, these berries are not ripe yet, why are you in a hurry? It seems that it may be more appropriate to call you a monkey in the future, with a similar body shape and personality. Xu Qiang couldn't hold back his laughter and couldn't help but tease him.

"Well, it's a bit of a hurry, and we'll pick it again in the fall, and it will definitely be delicious at that time." Phew, it's a little astringent. ”

The two walked past the berries to another tall tree. Luo Fatzi, who was about to walk forward, saw Xu Qiang stop under the tree and kept looking up.

"Brother Qiang, what are you looking at?" Luo Fatzi followed Xu Qiang's gaze and looked up, but he couldn't see anything special, he only felt that this tree looked a little familiar.

"Fatty, we've found a baby!"

Xu Qiang's voice was a little uncontrollable excited, and he kept patting the tree with his hand, but he didn't let the tree shake at all.

"What baby? Isn't it just a tree, do you really want to learn from the bald head and cut down this tree? Beware of Brother Bear coming out to catch you. ”

Luo Fatzi was also in a good mood today, so he took the opportunity to tease Brother Qiang, but he didn't expect Xu Qiang's next sentence to startle him.

"yes, cut it."

Xu Qiang turned to look at Fat Luo and continued:

"This is a yew tree, which has a more famous name in China called yew. And yew wood is one of the best wood to make bows and arrows, the famous English longbow is made of yew wood, the English longbow has a feature is that it is very fast, unlike the ancient longbow in our country, it takes several months or even years to make, while the English longbow can be made in half a day, plus the time of taming the bow, at most it can be done in two days. ”

"So what now? The tree is so tall and quite thick, how do you cut it down? Looking at this big tree that is nearly one meter thick, and the yew wood is very hard, Luo Fat Man is a little difficult.

"Push!" Xu Qiang's words were unfathomable, but when he saw Luo Fatzi's confused look, he couldn't help laughing and hurriedly explained.

"Haha, just kidding, when will such a thick, hard tree have to be cut down? We don't have the aura of the protagonist. In this way, we are looking around for a smaller yew tree, enough for us to make a few bows. ”

The fat man was relieved for a while after hearing this, if he was really allowed to cut it, he didn't know if the axe would be wasted, but his small body bones would not be wasted?

The two didn't dare to separate, and searched around the big yew tree within a range of about 100 meters, not to mention, they really found five more yew trees, and the two of them picked one of the trees with the smallest diameter, although it was small, it was also 30 centimeters thick and more than 20 meters high.

The two also cut down a lot of trees at the logging site, and gradually figured out a skill for cutting trees.

First, determine the direction in which the tree will fall, and then use an axe to cut a relatively large triangular gap at the base of the tree, the angle of the gap is less than 45 degrees, and the depth is about one-third of the diameter.

Then lower the axe on the opposite side of the gap, the lower axe position is one fifth of the downward edge of the triangle gap, continue to cut a triangle gap, the depth is about the same as the first gap, and finally push hard in the direction of the tree, and the tree will fall.

The whole process took about half an hour, which was quick and easy, and with a chain saw, it was estimated that the whole time would be less than five minutes. After the felling, the two men took out their handsaws to saw off the branches, and then sawed the tree into two-meter-long pieces of wood for transportation back and to make bows and arrows.

The length of the saw is only 30 centimeters, not as long as the diameter of a tree, so you can only saw one part of it first, and then saw another part along the gap, and also drove a wedge in the middle to avoid the loss caused by the stuck saw blade. After sawing the wood, the two of them sorted out the usable parts of the branches of the tree, and prepared to transport them back first, and the rest were slowly transported out.

After the harvest of yew trees, the two of them stopped exploring other places, and directly carried the five or six yew trees that had been sorted out, and walked towards the camp with other mountain goods on their backs. On the way, taking advantage of the rest time, I cut two more bundles of vines to go back to make ropes, and also found a birch forest, which is a good wood for making arrows.

Back at the camp, the two did not immediately start making bows, but set up a pot to boil water and began to prepare for cooking, Xu Qiang felt that the two were still in adolescence and needed to replenish enough nutrients needed for body growth, as long as they could, they still had three meals a day. In addition, it is also necessary to ensure good rest and sleep, so that people can have a good mental state, if they are in a state of fatigue and emotional depression for a long time, people will definitely have problems.

Now that there are still two bottles of rice left, the two have decided to reduce the amount of rice used to cook porridge each time, and it is good to keep a thought before finding a new food effect. So today, the two of them didn't boil porridge, but just put half a pheasant in each hanging pot to make soup, and drinking chicken soup is of course to replenish the body.

Boiling chicken soup on the fire, the two went to the bamboo forest together and cut down seven or eight fist-thick green bamboos and came back, which was enough for Luo Fatzi to weave seven or eight bamboo back baskets. However, the fat man had a plan, in addition to weaving another bamboo back basket, he also planned to weave a dustpan for drying mushrooms and a bamboo basket for storing things.

When they were about to go back, the two of them saw a few one-horned flies flying around among the surrounding bamboo forests and flowers, and they had no interest in the crumbs of carrion that had been thrown on the ground the other day. When Xu Qiang looked over, a sentence popped up in his mind: one-horned ancient flies, like to eat nectar.

Can this ability be upgraded? He hurriedly told Luo Fatzi his doubts to see if his ability had also been upgraded.
