Chapter 024: Descending the mountain in distress
If we are to live, we should build ourselves a clock full of feelings, thoughts, and actions, and use it to replace this dull, monotonous, melancholy-stifling, reproachful, and cold-ticking time. Gorky
Li Baoqiang stood at the entrance of the cave and looked around, only to see that the sky and the earth were hazy, the mountains in the distance were not as green as before the mountain, gray, and the nearby coniferous forests were also covered with a layer of black-gray snow, and the ground was also covered with black snow. The sun looks like a halo of light, scattering strange colors through the gaps in the gray sky. The entire outside world was like hell, scattered with black marks.
Because the sunlight was not strong, the temperature also felt ten degrees lower, very cold, Li Baoqiang couldn't help but shiver.
"Something must have happened." Li Baoqiang rubbed his nose and muttered to himself.
Originally, he was going to go down the mountain, but after discovering the Tibetan Cave, his outdoor adventure route was terminated, and the specific location changed a lot from the original location. Be sure to go down the hill to check it out. The ground is shaking, and the earthquake disaster is definitely not small, and maybe a few people can be saved. Li Baoqiang pondered secretly.
In the past few days, I have figured it out in my heart, and it is my duty to return home quickly, find a job, accompany my old mother, and at least let my mother live a stable life with my own ability.
After noting down the location of the Tibetan Soldier Cave, Li Baoqiang walked down the mountain with difficulty. The ancient road of the Tibetan Soldier Cave has been submerged among weeds and gravel due to the vicissitudes of history. There is no way down the mountain, there is no way down the mountain, and because of the snow, it becomes extremely difficult.
Fortunately, Li Baoqiang has a five-year foundation as a marine, and he makes full use of the knowledge of survival in the wilderness taught by his instructors.
In order to avoid getting lost, save physical strength, and increase the speed of travel, we should strive to have roads, do not go through forests and mountains, and do not take small roads when there are big roads. If there are no roads, you can choose to travel on longitudinal mountain beams, ridges, mountainsides, river and creek edges, as well as terrain with high trees, sparse forests, large gaps, and low grass. Generally, do not go to the deep ditch canyon and the place where the grass is luxuriant, and the rattan and bamboo are intertwined, and strive to walk the beam without going to the ditch, and go vertically without going horizontally.
Li Baoqiang looked around and decided to take a risk and go to the ravine, where a stream could be found. for he was thirsty. The water he brought with him had been drunk, and he definitely couldn't drink the snow water, and he had already faintly felt that there was something abnormal in the black and gray snow this time. Thanks to Li Baoqiang's wise choice, he was not contaminated by nuclear dust and became one of the abnormal human beings, which brought him great benefits.
As the saying goes, it's easy to go up the mountain and hard to go down.
The ravine is covered with large abrupt rocks that have been washed by water for many years, and the surrounding area is covered with smooth pebbles and gray snow, making it extremely difficult to walk. Because it is a downward trend, Li Baoqiang carefully uses "small broken steps" to go down step by step to prevent the danger of falling. Because if it is a small broken step, even if it slips, the body can immediately recover and adjust to achieve balance and prevent falling.
Li Baoqiang will grasp the small trees or rattans on both sides of the downhill route as a gripper, and then slowly move down the mountain in a safe way to grasp it first and then move down the hill slowly. For the slope of the slope is larger, the width of the line is also wider, Li Baoqiang try to walk the "zigzag", try to avoid straight up and down, this is a relatively safe way to walk, no matter when going up and down the slope, the stones, branches, rattans, etc. climbed by the hand must be pulled by hand to see if it can be forced, in order to do other climbing up and down actions.
There were no dangers along the way, and Li Baoqiang relaxed his mentality.
After about two hours, Li Baoqiang found the stream, although it was winter, the stream was still flowing in the ice, at this time the opposite side of the stream was a sandy field, and a fallen tree hung over the stream about five meters wide, like a natural single-plank bridge.
Li Baoqiang kicked the rotten wood a few times, and felt that it was quite strong, so he cautiously walked onto the bridge.
There was still one step to cross the bridge, the rotten wood suddenly broke from the middle, Li Baoqiang fell, at this time Li Baoqiang kicked on his back feet, leaned forward, and rolled towards the beach for about 20 meters before hanging the branches and stopping on the beach face down.
Fortunately, God blessed, Li Baoqiang, who fell from a drop of more than ten meters, landed on the ground first with the backpack behind him, and there was a layer of soft fir forest and sand as a buffer layer on the ground, which played a protective role. The Bodhisattva blessed his body with no major incidents, but there were some extradermal abrasions on his face and legs, and he escaped the ghost gate of asking for his life.
was really bitten by a snake once, and he was afraid of the well rope for ten years, in fact, at the beginning, Li Baoqiang could wade across the creek to the opposite side, and he chose to cross the single-plank bridge. Since then, Li Baoqiang has always adhered to it in his bones: the goal can also be achieved, but the safest way must be used!
Li Baoqiang lay lazily on the beach, rubbed his nose, and exclaimed: "If you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing." He is like this, he is always optimistic, and the ordeal is a small episode in life for Li Baoqiang, and it does not play a role in damaging self-confidence.
Because the world is full of haze, Li Baoqiang does not know whether there are pollutants in these haze. So Li Baoqiang faced the stream and was thinking about how to drink a sip of clean water.
Drinking clean water is too simple for Li Baoqiang, who has a lot of experience, and it can be said that there are ten ways. One of the most important rules of survival in the wild is not to drink any unprotected water.
Avoid using lake water, pond water, and other surface-static water. Strain before serving, then bring to a boil. The least polluted water sources are, in order, underground well water and spring water, followed by water in underground pipes and containers, snow from deep above the surface, and finally fast-flowing river water. If the stream is clean and unpolluted, you can directly choose the stream with a faster flow rate and boil it directly.
However, when Li Baoqiang saw the gray snow, a trace of vigilance suddenly rose in his heart, this kind of snow must be polluted, what is polluted, I don't know at present, but I definitely don't dare to quote it directly, so I can only take other methods, multi-layer filtration.
Burning branches and filtering charcoal seems to take too long.
At this time, Li Baoqiang was already hungry and thirsty, so he rested for a while, and Li Baoqiang dug a pit about half a meter deep on the beach two meters away from the stream with a sapper shovel, and water slowly seeped out of the pit. Take out a dry plastic bag from the backpack, then take out the fine sand and gravel from the pit and put it into the plastic bag, scoop water from the pit with a rice bowl to remove the foam on the surface, scoop the water up and pour it into the plastic bag, and prick a few small holes under the plastic bag in advance, and the water will slowly flow out of the hole and be connected to the soup bowl.
After picking up a few pieces of dry firewood, Li Baoqiang used the cottage zipoo to light a fire to boil the water in the soup bowl and pour it into a thermos flask. Several times in a row, the thermos was filled with clean boiling water. Li Baoqiang leaned on his backpack, lying on the beach, drinking boiling water beautifully, nibbling on compressed biscuits, and filling his stomach.
Packed up, Li Baoqiang took out a cigarette, lit it with a "snap", took a deep breath, the past two days have been too tense and exciting, first climbed the mountain and stumbled, and then the earthquake was buried alive in the cave, and he dug the snow frantically for a day, and then he accidentally discovered the Tibetan Soldier Cave, and after coming out, he found that there was a change in the world and the world. Relax with a cigarette and get ready to go down the hill to find out.
Li Baoqiang was thinking nonsense, when suddenly a dangerous feeling came from behind. Li Baoqiang turned his head violently, and a white wolf on the hillside 10 meters away was holding a rabbit in its mouth and was staring at him viciously.
