Chapter 5: Survival in the Wilderness
For Yanagishita, who usually likes to watch TV shows such as wilderness survival, extreme survival, outdoor first aid, and deep forest escape, he has always been eager to try, and always wants to find an opportunity to experience such a life and show his ability to survive.
However, there is always a little difference between what is imagined in the heart and what exists in reality.
For example, the current situation really made Yanagi Buhui a little overwhelmed all of a sudden.
Yes, it's not filming, it's not a show, there's no NG, and there's no return menu.
It's real! It's a real test of survival!
Natural selection, survival of the fittest. Darwin said.
Yanagishita Buhui sat by the water, looked at the sun, and it was almost noon.
I've been busy nervously, and I don't realize that I haven't eaten since I found the water in the morning. And that snack guy Ye Mengfei actually had a little bit of fun, and he didn't shout that he was starving to death and wanted to eat meatγγγγγγ
Yanagishita stood up and looked at the off-road vehicle with the roof still exposed not far away, as well as the dining tables and chairs, sun umbrellas, and various ingredients scattered on the ground between the off-road vehicle and the place where Yanagishita Buhui was standing now.
I have watched Robinson Crusoe, and I have watched many foreign planes or ships crashed and drifted to desert islands and beaches and other film and television dramas, Yanagishita does not know that first, it is necessary to collect all kinds of resources that can or may be used as much as possible, and secondly, there must be fire, to be able to make a fire, without fire, people will not live for a few days, and body temperature and diet will be problematic. Yanagishita Buhui has watched a lot of challenge programs, and most of the losers fail because they can't make a fire, and after a few days of instinctive perseverance with their bodies, they can't continue and have to quit the challenge.
Yanagi Buhui took off his clothes and put them on the stone beside Ye Mengfei, preparing to go down and pick up the things that were submerged in the water.
"You're going to swim, huh? The water is very deep, so be careful. β
Ye Mengfei turned around, looked at Liu Shita Buhui, and asked a little puzzled.
"Well, such a big swimming pool, no matter how much you swim, you won't run into others, how cool it is!"
Yanagishita Buhui smiled happily, teasing Ye Mengfei and said, "Do you want to take off your clothes and go swimming?" β
"Am I not? What is it like to be naked in the wilderness? Aren't you afraid of being seen and embarrassed? β
Ye Mengfei glanced at Yanagi Buhui with some disdain.
"If you don't go, I'll go down for a swim?" Yanagishita said as he tentatively stepped his foot into the water.
Luckily, the water is not too cool. It's even a little lukewarm.
Yanagi Buhui walked forward step by step, the water became deeper and deeper, and with each step, it would stir up a lot of waves, and of course, it became more and more laborious.
When Yanagishita came to the picnic table and sun umbrella, the water had already reached Yanagishita's waist.
Under the seemingly calm surface of the water, there seems to be a bit of an undercurrent surging, although the water is only up to the waist, but the power of that huge undercurrent almost makes Yanagishita Buhui unstable.
At a glance, the boundless water surface makes people a little dizzy at the same time, but also produces an inexplicable fear.
Yanagishita held on to the handle of the umbrella and tried her best to stabilize herself. Fortunately, when I set up camp yesterday, the handle of the parasol was inserted deep into the grass and was very firm, and there was no sign of loosening for a while.
Yanagishita didn't pull out the handle of the parasol first, he was going to move other things first, and then pull this one last, because he felt that keeping the handle of the parasol could not only be used as a handrail to increase stability, but also as a path guide for carrying items.
Through the relatively clear water, you can see that the plates, chopsticks, bowls, plates, stoves and other heavy things from yesterday's picnic are still on the table, exactly the same as last night, except for those used and unused napkins, plastic bags, disposable gloves, and some lighter things in garbage bags, which fall on the grass at or near the bottom of the water with the turbulence of the water, and sometimes swing gently like aquatic plants.
Yanagishita Buhui first stacked the plates, chopsticks, and saucers on the picnic table together, large and small, of various shapes, there were about a dozen of them, all of which were made of stainless steel and a little heavy. In normal times, it would definitely be a little difficult to hold so many things at once, but now in the water, with the buoyancy of the water, Yanagishita Buhui doesn't feel how heavy it is to hold so many things at once.
Ye Mengfei was on the shore, leaning forward, her slender arms stretched out, and she was moving in the direction that Yanagi Buhui had moved, trying her best to reach Yanagi Buhui as soon as possible, so that she could help Yanagi Buhui get something.
"No, Fei'er, get out of the way, don't get your clothes wet."
Yanagishita Buhui said with some worry while wading through the water slowly.
"It's okay, I can do it too. Here, give me some. β
Ye Mengfei knew what Yanagi didn't favor, but she still felt sorry for Yanagi Buhui, and said firmly.
"Okay."
Yanagishita said that he had already reached the shore.
Ye Mengfei bravely walked up to Yanagi Buhui, held the bottom plate with both hands, clamped her arms, and went up hard, saying to Yanagi Buhui: "You can let go!" β
Yanagi Buhui felt that Ye Mengfei's hands were already exerting force on the side of his hands, and he also felt that the force on his arms was much lighter, so he said, "Then you can take it, I'll let go." β
After saying that, he let go of his hands.
"Smackγγγγγγ
Before Yanagi Buhui came back to his senses, he heard such a sound.
Looking at it again, Ye Mengfei was standing with a red face, and there were plates, saucers and other things scattered all over the ground under her feet.
It seemed to be too heavy, Ye Mengfei didn't hold it, so she slipped out of her hand and fell on the grass.
Liu Xia was not surprised, and hurriedly held Ye Mengfei's hand and said, "Did you hurt your hand?" β
"No, it's just a little slippery, and I don't hold it firmly."
Ye Mengfei said a little embarrassed.
In fact, although the thing slipped to the ground, her hands were still very painful because of the excessive force, but for fear that Yanagi would not be worried, she still pretended to be casual and spread her hands lightly.
"Didn't hit your foot, did you?" Yanagi Buhui squatted down and pressed Ye Mengfei's feet in sandals and exposed slender jade toes.
"No, I didn't hit my foot. Luckily, these things are made of stainless steel, but if they were porcelain, it would be terrible! β
Ye Mengfei bent down and said with some joy while picking up the things scattered all over the place with Yanagi Buhui.
After picking it up, Yanagi Buhui straightened up, handed the things in his hand to Ye Mengfei and said, "You find a place to put these things first, and then I'll continue to get other things." β
"Okay!"
Ye Mengfei agreed, and put the things that Liu Xia Buhui brought up, one by one, neatly.
After coming and going a few times, Yanagishita Fuhui brought over the picnic tables, picnic chairs, pots, stoves, gas tanks, water tanks, food boxes, and so on.
Even the sun umbrella, which was the only thing left to emerge from the water, was staggered to the shore by Yanagishita.
The place that was not big was full for a while, and if it weren't for Ye Mengfei's careful consideration and careful placement next to her, there would have been no place to put your feet a long time ago.
"Hurry up and get dressed, don't catch a cold."
Ye Mengfei looked at Yanagishita Buhui's wet body, and handed over Yanagishita's clothes with some distress.
"Well, it's okay, it's not very cold."
Although his mouth said this, Yanagishita Buhui obediently dried his body and put on his clothes one by one.
"Let's sort out the things we fished up and see what things are still useful, or it's too messy!"
"Okay, I think so too."
Yanagishita Buhui buttoned the button while looking at this large pile of things, and was already thinking about what to do next.
"Wow, there's so much to eat!"
Yanagishita, who was wiping the picnic table, was startled by Ye Mengfei's shout.
"What's wrong?"
Yanagi Buhui put down the rag curiously, walked over, and looked at Ye Mengfei who was squatting on the ground, she was opening the food box, there was still half a box of water in it, and there were a few large radishes, a cantaloupe, a few cabbages, and a few potatoes under the water.
In addition, there are a few pieces of vacuum-packed beef, pig's trotters, pickles and so on, and of course, oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar are still hiding in their own very delicate seasonings, lying quietly at the bottom of the box.
Those simply packaged breads, cakes, buns, small steamed buns and the like have been blistered beyond recognition, and they can only be discarded in the water to feed the fish.
Fish? Yanagi Buhui's heart moved, and there was another burst of joy, and there was a way to solve the food, so let's talk about it when the ingredients are exhausted. After all, Yanagi Buhui has always been a little disgusted with fishing, and always feels that fishing is killing, which is not good.
Looking at the remaining usable things in the ingredient box, Yanagishita Buhui feels very good, although the ingredients are still a little small, and there are not many types, but at least they can be stored for a few days, and it will not cause problems for the two of them to eat for the time being.
Yanagishita set up the picnic tables, the umbrellas were set up again, and the picnic chairs were almost dried and placed around the table.
Placing the stove in the middle of the table, setting up the gas tank, connecting the pipe between the gas tank and the stove, and opening the valve of the gas tank, Yanagishita Fuhui tried to make a fire, ready to make a fire on the stove, and prepared to make something to eat.
"Smackγγγγγγ The sound was crisp, but there was no flame at all.
Yanagi Buhui had a trace of nervousness in his heart. What's going on? If you can't get fired, the consequences are a bit serious.
"Pap, pap, papaγγγγγγγ"
Yanagishita Fuhui hit five or six times in a row, and the result was still the same.
"Could it be that the valve of the gas tank is not open?"
Ye Mengfei felt very strange, usually as long as she was gentle, the flames would rise.
"No, I opened the valve just now."
Yanagi Buhui was also a little puzzled, and a little unwilling, so he tried to hit a few more times.
But it's still the same, there is no reaction at all.
What the hell is going on? Yanagishita lowered his head and looked at the stove nervously and carefully.
"Smack, smack, slapγγγγγγ" Not even a Mars.
No Mars? The furnace ignition system uses piezoelectric technology, will there be any failures? Was it okay last night?
Electricity?
Yanagishita Fuhui seemed to suddenly understand something, and hurriedly opened the battery box of the stove.
The lid of the battery compartment was removed, revealing a wet battery, and at the bottom of the battery compartment, there was still a pool of shallow water, which was crystal clear.
Yanagishita took out the battery, dried it with a rag, put it on the table, and basked in the afternoon sun.
He was so nervous that he rubbed his hands together, and prayed in his heart that he would leave a little electricity, even if it was a little, so that our stove could be lit.
Ye Mengfei, who was standing next to her, watched Yanagi Buhui's every move with more nervous eyes, very worried.
After all, whether you can eat a hot meal depends on this battery.
