Chapter 30: Improving Lives
Five days later, at dusk, the border of the neighboring country.
The afterglow of the setting sun fell quietly on the vast forest, and the homing birds flew from afar, landed on the branches, chirping, feeding the food to the young birds in the nest, and with a quack, a sharp cry came from the sky, and a mountain eagle swept over the hill, and the frightened birds hid and did not dare to call again.
A stream on the hill falls straight down, the water flow is not big, it hits the stones of the waterhole below, the water splashes everywhere, and the sound of rattling adds a little vitality to this quiet mountain, not far downstream of the waterhole is a pile of rocks, the stones have been exposed to the sun for a long time, weathered into white, and the top is full of small holes, and the wind sweeps over the stones, making a strange cry of whimpering.
There is a small stone between the two huge stones, a person is sitting quietly on this stone mountain to rest, and on his somewhat immature face, a pair of eyes that are beyond his age are bright, revealing a little essence, and there is a little anxiety in the faint eye, it is Qin Tian who has been chasing all the way.
The enemy took the helicopter away, leaving three enemies to block, entangled by the special forces of the neighboring country, Qin Tian was worried about being exposed, so he had to leave quickly in a roundabout way, and after getting rid of the battlefield, he ran all the way, this walk was five days, Qin Tian was exhausted, and had to rest in this pile of rubble.
The tall stones of the pile of rocks blocked the view, the beasts would not come, it was relatively safe, Qin Tian looked at the sky, it didn't look like it was going to rain, thinking that his body couldn't hold it anymore, and he urgently needed to rest, and if he ran down, he couldn't save it, and he would also get in.
After thinking about it, Qin Tian decided to spend the night here tonight, put down his equipment, took off his military boots, looked at his feet that were already swollen a lot, and his socks were already smelling disgusting, so he simply took off his essence, jumped into the waterhole to wash it well, and hid under a big rock to rest.
The big stone was suspended in the air, and people hid below without worrying about being discovered by satellites, and they would not be seen by people passing by, but it was safe, Qin Tian soaked for half an hour, and felt that his body had recovered a lot, and this time he climbed ashore and took out the captured underwear from his backpack and changed it on.
The enemy planned carefully and was ready to fight a protracted war, there were spare underwear and socks in the equipment, Qin Tian didn't think much about it before, just kept the spare, and now it came in handy, Qin Tian changed into clean underwear, and dug a place to dig and bury it, and the combat clothes outside were spread out in the stone mountain to dry.
After doing all this, Qin Tian looked around, his eyes fell on a bamboo forest, then looked at the waterhole, smiled, walked forward with a knife, cut a thick bamboo, removed the branches and leaves, took a bamboo pole about one meter long, cut it into strips, tied it up at one end, and then braided it into several circles of different sizes with bamboo strips, composed of them, and formed a fishing cage, bent inward at one end, and tied tightly with vines, forming a trap that fish can swim in but can't come out.
After making a fishing cage, Qin Tian used a stone to block the weir downstream of the stream, that is, to build a dam with stones, the dam is about 30 centimeters above the water surface, and the downstream of the dam uses stones to build a still water pool, and the fishing cage is placed in the rapids position, and the fish will enter the fishing cage according to the water of the rapids.
Fish have the habit of swimming against the water, when they swim in a place where the water is turbulent, they will choose a place where the water is still to rest, the still water pool just meets the habit of the fish, once it enters the still water pool, it is not easy to come out, Qin Tian is very familiar with these basic wilderness survival skills, and he can easily come to it.
After doing all this, Qin Tian was not sure that he could catch fish in the pool, so he walked around with a hunting knife, it had been five days, and he had not found the enemy, nor had he found the chasing soldiers of the neighboring countries, so he was safe for the time being, but he didn't have to worry too much, Qin Tian came to a bush and saw a lot of feces on the ground.
The feces are a little big, not like they were left by birds, but they are smaller than beasts, more like pheasants or the like, Qin Tian observed for a while, and confirmed that it was something like a grouse or a golden pheasant, Daxi, this is a good thing, it should be left when he came to the river.
Thinking of this, Qin Tian quickly made a grouse trap, that is, under the tree, on both sides of the road where the grouse often passes, he made two hook-shaped trigger ground nails, cut the two ends of a flexible branch, tied a looper in the middle, wanted the branch to be bent, buckled on the ground nail, and the rope end was tied to the branch to form an elastic trap.
The special rope also needs to be spared, it can't be wasted, there is no suitable rope, Qin Tian found a tenacious tree vine instead, the tree vine is more hidden, it will not cause the idea of grouse, the probability of a grouse set is too small, Qin Tian ate compressed biscuits for a few days, his mouth was light, he was too eager to eat meat, so he made five in one go.
After doing all this, Qin Tian returned to the waterhole and found that there was no harvest in the fishing cage, but some small fish and shrimp in the still water pool, too small to stuff his teeth, but Qin Tian still fished them all up, bumped into the stinky socks that he had changed, looked left and right, and went to the side of the woods to get some flammable, smokeless dry firewood.
The pile of stones is a natural stove, just a few stones can be used together, Qin Tian took out the lighter that was placed close to the heart, and his mood was a little low, every member of the Hunter Academy must be equipped with such a lighter, which is not only waterproof, windproof, and made of all steel, but also can block bullets to a certain extent, and may be able to save lives at critical moments, after all, the heart is the master's favorite position to shoot.
"Disobeying military orders this time, I don't know if I can return to the hunter unit." Qin Tian said secretly, but he didn't regret it, as the captain, Qin Tian couldn't watch the team members being kidnapped and taken away.
The fire rose quickly, in order to avoid exposure, he didn't dare to burn too much, he took off the bulletproof helmet, filled it with some water and put it on the fire, he hadn't eaten hot food for a few days, his body couldn't stand it anymore, he had to improve his food and restore his normal condition, Qin Tian watched the faint smoke dissipate around, and the open flame was blocked by the surrounding rocks, which would not arouse suspicion, he breathed a sigh of relief and sat next to him to rest.
It didn't take long for Qin Tian to barbecue the water, fill a full pot, and then burn some, walked to the fishing cage to see, there were three crucian carp three fingers wide in it, Daxi, quickly caught it, removed the scales, washed and peeled it off, threw it into the helmet and boiled it, and sprinkled salt after it was almost cooked, all of which were seized materials.
After a while, Qin Tian drank fresh fish soup, but unfortunately there was less, but there was no need to worry about guarding the waterhole, there was still one night, enough to eat beautifully.
It is a wonderful thing to be able to improve his life in the battle, Qin Tian feels that life is not too bad, and his mood is much better, looking at the northwest direction, it is estimated that it will be three days before he can go out, and he must know that he is dying.
