20.Chapter 20: The Way of Water
"How can the combat skills summed up by our ancestors with their lives be fake? Outsiders don't understand. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Lan Xue said noncommittally, her face returned to her cold expression, and continued: "Let's teach you the step measurement method, which is to measure the distance by stride length." It is suitable for situations where the standing point and the measured point can be passed in a straight line. Saying that, Lan Xue looked Luo Zheng up and down.
"What's wrong?" Luo Zheng asked in surprise.
"You are 1.76 meters tall, and the length of the compound step is about 1.5 meters, how many steps from the starting point to the target, multiplied by 1. 5 meters is the distance, however, when traveling, it is necessary to align the measured end point, travel in a straight line, and the stride length should be uniform, and the stride length should be properly adjusted when encountering undulating ground to prevent excessive deviation. Lan Xue said with a cold face.
"Huh? Great, I don't need a ruler everywhere I go, my feet are the best ruler. Luo Zheng said with a wry smile, secretly wrote down Lan Xue's words, and suddenly saw some feathers in the bushes not far away, and took a closer look, there was a pheasant nest in the bushes, and immediately said: "In order to repay your kindness, how about you eat Huazi chicken at noon?" Without waiting for Lan Xue to agree, he ran over quickly.
Lan Xue looked at the direction of Luo Zheng's running, and also found feathers, the corners of Leng Yan's mouth hooked a good-looking arc, but it was good to recover Leng Yan, looking at Luo Zheng's back, there was a complicated look in her eyes, her brows frowned slightly, and she lowered her head and pondered.
Not long after, Luo Zheng grabbed a fat pheasant and shouted: "Good luck, let's find a place with water to wash and peel well, the barbecue is too unpalatable, it's better to simmer and eat, it's sweeter." ”
Lan Xue nodded noncommittally, looked left and right, and said, "It's okay, by the way, I will teach you how to find water." ”
"Okay, thank you." Luo Zheng said sincerely.
Lan Xue glanced at Luo Zheng deeply, the complicated look in her eyes became thicker, Luo Zheng was uncomfortable when she saw it, Lan Xue looked away, looked ahead and said: "Looking for water in the jungle is nothing more than listening, smelling and looking, with sensitive hearing organs, pay more attention to the sound of mountain streams or waterfalls at the foot of the mountain, mountain streams, cliffs, basins, valley bottoms, etc., whether there are frogs and water birds. If you can hear these sounds, it means that you are not far from the place where there is a water source, and you can prove that the water source is flowing living water, which can be drunk directly, but be careful not to take the "rustling" sound of the wind blowing the leaves as the sound of running water. ”
"Hmm." Luo Zheng has been hunting since he was a child, of course he knows some ways to find water, but he has not summarized it, and when he heard what Lan Xue said, he felt a sense of empowerment.
"To smell is to smell as much as possible the smell of moisture, or the smell of dirt and aquatic plants brought by the wind. Then look for water in the direction of the smell. Of course, this requires a certain amount of experience; To see is to rely on a wealth of experience and knowledge. Water sources can also be found by observing animals, plants, meteorology, climate and geographical environment, such as the foot of the mountain, where there is often groundwater, and the groundwater level is high in low-lying places, rainwater concentrations, and downstream of reservoirs. Also, underneath the dry riverbed. At the lowest point on the outside of the bend of the river, dig down a few meters or so to get water. However, there is a lot of mud and it needs to be purified before it can be drunk. Lan Xue spoke eloquently, with a serious expression.
Luo Zheng carefully wrote down this knowledge, listened carefully, sniffed hard, and looked around, except for the woods or the woods, there was some earthy smell in the air, and he really didn't notice it when he didn't pay attention, and immediately pointed to one side and said: "There should be water over there, I guess right?" ”
Lan Xue nodded, walked in the direction of water, and said: "In the hot summer, the groundwater level is higher where the ground has been dry for a long time but not dry or hot, and in the cold winter, when there is hoarfrost in the cracks on the surface of the ground, the groundwater level is also relatively high; Where cattails, salix, malian, golden needle (also known as yellow flower), and mustard grow, the water level is relatively high, and the water quality is good; There is also groundwater in places where gray cabbage, bampha, and sariwan grow, but the water quality is not good, with a bitter or astringent taste, or rust; The solitary tree sprouts or is not yellow, and there is water in the ground; There must be water in the place where summer mosquitoes gather and fly into a cylindrical shape; There is also water where frogs, large ants, and snails live; In addition, the routes that swallows fly and the places where they nest in the mud are places where there are water sources and high water tables. In addition, the quail flies towards the water in the evening and on its back in the early morning; Turtle doves fly to the water source in the morning and evening, and these are also the basis for judging the water source. ”
Luo Zheng is like a dry sand bed absorbing water to the fullest, and he firmly remembers the knowledge taught by Lan Xue, and he has relevant experience in hunting before, but it is not comprehensive and systematic enough, after listening to Lan Xue's words, combined with his previous experience, Luo Zheng's eyes suddenly brightened.
"Where there is a rainbow in the sky, there must be rain; Underneath the dark cumulonimbus clouds with thunder and lightning, there must be rain or hail; In the valley where there is always a thick fog, there must be a source of water; Collecting dew can also alleviate some of the urgent needs; In addition, drinking water can be obtained directly from plants, such as wild plantain, also called cactus, wild kudzu vine, grape vine, kiwi vine, and magina vine. In addition, when the trees are about to sprout in spring, drinking water can be obtained from the trunks and branches of trees such as yeshi and mountain elm. Note: Do not drink the sap of vines or shrubs and trees with emulsion, which is poisonous. In addition, drinking water can be obtained from reeds, cacti and their fruits. Lan Xue continued.
The two unconsciously came to a stream, Lan Xue looked at the slowly flowing mountain spring and said: "Wild drinking water also needs to be paid attention to, generally speaking, you need to put the water purification tablets into the water container, or use medical iodine wine instead of water purification tablets to disinfect the water, bleach and vinegar can also play a role in disinfection, if there is none, boiling water for 5 minutes is also a good way to disinfect, if the water you find is salty water, boil it with pepper grass and water, which can prevent abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, If there are heavy metal salts or toxic minerals in the water, you should boil it with strong tea and water, and do not drink the sediment that appears at the end, of course, this knowledge is not used now, you just need to remember it, the mountain spring here is good, and you can drink it directly after being purified by a helmet. As he spoke, he used his helmet to catch water.
The two drank some water, Luo Zheng quickly smeared some yellow clay on the pheasant, the two found a clean place, found some firewood, Luo Zheng lit the bonfire with the method of making fire out of nothing taught by Lan Xue, dug a pit to bury the pheasant, and then moved the bonfire to it, clapped his hands, and said excitedly: "Okay, you can eat it later." ”
"Hmm." Lan Xue snorted noncommittally and said, "Let's teach you sniping skills, listen well." ”
Luo Zheng looked at Lan Xue, faintly feeling that something was wrong, he couldn't understand why Lan Xue was so eager to teach skills, there was still more than a week to go along the way, and there was time, so he couldn't help but say suspiciously: "Are you okay?" "How can the combat skills summed up by our ancestors with their lives be fake? Outsiders don't understand. Lan Xue said noncommittally, her face returned to a cold expression, and she continued: "Let's teach you the step measurement method, which is to measure the distance by stride length."
