Chapter 41: Paradise

To survive in the jungle, access to drinking water is more important than food. In times of hunger, the human body can consume the energy stored in fat to maintain physiological functions, but in a state of dehydration, the human body cannot replenish itself with water.

In hot areas, if there is no water, the normal functioning of the human body can last for a short time, because constant sweating can cause a lot of water loss in a person. Even in colder regions, at least two litres of water per day are needed to maintain normal physiological functions.

There are many ways to get water, such as strapping grass rings or cloth around your ankles and going into the grass to absorb the dew from the blades of grass, which can get a full liter of water per hour. You can also look for streams that run down from the mountains, but the water often contains too many microorganisms and parasites, so be sure to boil it or use potassium permanganate tablets to disinfect the water source before use.

So the most direct and effective way is to look for plant tubers that can be eaten directly, or water sources that are stored inside the plant. Palm plants such as the fan-shaped palm, the Nie Pa palmetto, and the flat vine all contain a lot of water, and if the leaves of these plants close to the ground are broken, the tears will ooze out of the water that can be directly drunk.

However, Luo Hao did not bother to deliberately look for these palm plants, because he had a better target, the lush green bamboo forest. The diameter of this green bamboo is about 10 centimeters, and when it rains, these beads absorb a lot of water and store it in their own bamboo joints. This kind of water stored in bamboo can not only be drunk without disinfection and filtration, but also has the unique fragrance of green bamboo. In the eyes of the border guards, this is the purest gift that nature has given them.

Luo Hao chose a few green bamboos without insect eyes, and used the shark serration behind the dragon's tooth saber to saw off the bamboo knots and put them into the backpack behind him. In the morning, when looking for Yunxi, Luo Hao had heard the sound of water flowing around the valley, so he assumed that there must be a flowing stream around.

Special forces with experience in the wilderness will carry a few condoms with them like Luo Hao when they survive in the jungle, of course, this is not for a thrilling field battle in the silent night, but to fill water. A quality condom can hold one litre of water.

After solving the problem of water sources, Luo Hao's next face is food. He didn't have a bow or arrow, nor did he have the ability to shoot arrows within a hundred steps, but he knew how to survive in the jungle and could get food in other ways.

When looking for wild vegetables in the grass, a few mushrooms were gnawed by ants, and Luo Hao unceremoniously put them into his backpack; When passing by a fruit tree, the green and yellow wild fruits growing on it were also laughed at by Luo Hao; A snake entrenched on a tree branch was not poisonous or not, it was directly cut into several "duck necks" and stuffed into a backpack.

When Luo Hao came out of the woods, his backpack was already bulging. Just as he was returning to the cave with a full load, the fish swimming in the waist-high pool caught his attention.

Fish is rich in unsaturated fats and proteins, and is one of the important food sources for survival in the wild. There are many ways to catch fish, you can choose to make a simple rod to fish, or you can make spearfish.

Luo Hao didn't have the heart to make a fishing rod to guard the waterhole to cultivate his sentiments, so he chose to use a harpoon directly to catch fish. Cutting off a branch, sharpening one of the sections, and tying his own dragon's tooth saber to it, Luo Hao had a sharp harpoon in his book.

In the water, because of the refraction of light, it is necessary to aim at the lower part of the fish when it is time to spear the fish. It's not the first time Luo Hao dares to do this kind of thing, he is very experienced in doing it, in just ten minutes, he caught five or six fish more than half a foot long.

When leaving the cave, in order to prevent a wild beast from attacking Yunxi in the cave, Luo Hao deliberately blocked the entrance of the cave with stones. Before returning to the cave, Luo Hao, who was about to move away the stones, suddenly found that there were two dead hares in the grass next to them, and there were obvious beast tooth marks on the hares' necks.

Of course, Luo Hao didn't believe that these two fat hares fell from the sky because of the explosion of his character, his eyes looked around, and finally found a familiar white shadow among the trees, it was the white wolf who took a whole roast rabbit from Luo Hao at noon. This wolf is so humane, and he knows how to repay the favor.

Since the hare was sent by the white wolf, Luo Hao was not polite, picked up the two rabbits and arched his hand in the direction of the white wolf to show his gratitude. Seeing Luo Hao bring the hare back to the cave, the white wolf who had been guarding the woods let out a low roar, turned around and disappeared into the dense forest.

"Luo Hao, I'm thirsty!" Seeing Luo Hao returning, Yun Xi, who was sitting on the haystack, said to him confidently.

Luo Hao took out a condom full of water from his backpack and handed it to her, "Drink." ”

"It's disgusting that you put water in this kind of thing, I don't want it." Yun Xi turned his head and rejected the "water bladder" handed over by Luo Hao.

"What are you afraid of, it's all unused, can you get pregnant after drinking it? Drink it or not. Although Luo Hao said this verbally, he still took out a piece of green bamboo from his backpack, drilled a small hole in the bamboo with a knife, then inserted a thin bamboo tube, and handed it to Yunxi: "Oh, it's all natural, it's no worse than Evian." ”

Yun Xi took the bamboo with suspicion, bit the thin bamboo pipe and took a sip, when the "Evian" with the unique fragrance of bamboo and the sweet taste flowed into his mouth, Yun Xi immediately liked this taste.

Dinner was also prepared by Luo Hao, who sawed the finished bamboo into two sections, put it on the fire as a pot, poured water, and threw in wild fish and mushrooms to make a pot of fragrant fish soup. A section of the green bamboo knot is opened with a knife to make a small opening, pour in the rice, salt, and rabbit meat cut into small pieces prepared at the time of departure, stuff the mouth into the fire with a cotton ball dipped in water and barbecue, half an hour, take out the discolored bamboo from the fire, and split it with a knife, which is the special snack bamboo tube rice of the Dai people.

When sleeping, the only haystack in the cave was naturally occupied by the wounded Yunxi, while Luo Hao was wrapped in a blanket and rested against the stone wall. Originally, Yunxi asked Luo Hao to sleep on the haystack, but Luo Hao said that he was not Yanagi Hui, and he didn't have such a good determination to refuse Yunxi's kindness.

Luo Hao didn't have a map in his hand, and Yun Xi's injuries also needed time to recover, so while the other classmates were busy looking for the tokens marked on the map, Luo Hao lived a paradise-like life with their goddess.
