Chapter 13: Finding Water

Wang Lu walked straight to the center of the clearing in front of him.

Turning his head, he said to Zhuang Yan with a serious face: "Okay, it's time to get there." From now until six o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, the two of us will survive here. I will provide some assistance when you need help as appropriate. But don't expect me to help you all the time, it's all up to you. ”

After speaking, he stopped looking at Zhuang Yan.

Zhuang Yan actually had some preparations in his heart, but he didn't expect this Coach Wang to play with himself like this, looking at the sun hanging high in the sky, Zhuang Yan felt a little cold.

I saw Coach Wang take out a large lump of things from the bag he was carrying, and Zhuang Yan saw that he hung the two ends of the lump of things on the tree before he realized that it was a simple hammock.

Wang Lu looked at Zhuang Yan, who was looking at him in surprise, turned over and lay directly on the hammock. Then he stretched his waist and shouted to Zhuang Yan without turning his head: "Boy, don't look at me." Or do you think about what you should do? I'm not going to help you in any way. ”

Zhuang Yan looked down at his empty body.

"I'm so stupid, really. I knew that this training would not be easy, but I didn't expect it to be like this. ”

Zhuang Yan was extremely sad and indignant in his heart. But thinking about the scene of Wang Lu fighting in the gym, he felt that it was better to be obedient and obedient when he couldn't defeat Wang Lu.

"I'll give you one more hint, water, shelter and fire"

Zhuang Yan understood very well what Wang Lu was talking about. These three things are one of the indispensable conditions for survival in the wild. It is also a task that I must complete now.

It's still noon, and there's no hurry about the fire. Plus it's summer, and it's still bearable to go without shelter for one night. So the most important thing now is to find water.

Now that the order has been decided, Zhuang Yan began to prepare to set off to find a water source. I remember that when I was passing by the entrance of the forest park in my car, I saw a small river, so there should be a water source nearby. When Zhuang Yan left, he glanced back at Wang Lu lying in the hammock, he was still lying very comfortably.

However, just as Zhuang Yan was about to walk out of the clearing, a voice came out from behind him.

"Then, remember to bring me a jug of water. If something happens, blow that whistle. ”

Zhuang Yan turned around and saw an army-green kettle thrown over, and a yellow whistle was tied to this kettle.

Zhuang Yan grabbed the kettle, turned around and was about to leave, when Wang Lu spoke again.

"When looking for water, remember that the water flows to a lower place, and people go to a lower place. Observe the activities of the animals. ”

"Okay, I got it. Just wait for the water! Zhuang Yan waved his hand and left without looking back.

Wang Lu, who was lying in the hammock, shook his head gently, but the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile.

Zhuang Yan walked out of the clearing and came into the dark woods. It's already summer, but it's still cool in the forest. There was no road in the clearing except for the path from which it had entered. However, Zhuang Yan knew very well that there was no water near the path.

So he chose a low-lying direction and started to move forward. I have to say that if there is no road in the forest, it is really difficult to walk an inch.

Zhuang Yan's body would be swept by tree branches as he moved forward, and from time to time he could see very large insects crawling past him.

Zhuang Yan hurriedly ripped off a branch from the tree next to him, using it as a crutch to maintain his balance, and as a tool to scare the snake. After all, no one knows where a snake will suddenly come out.

I have to say that Zhuang Yan's luck is not bad, and he has not encountered any accidents along the way. Not long after leaving, I faintly heard the sound of running water.

Listen to the sound as if it is right in front of you.

Zhuang Yan quickened his pace, pulled away the branches in front of him with both hands, and walked forward step by step.

The sound of water flowing in his ears became louder and louder, Zhuang Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he raised his hand to block the dazzling light in front of him.

When you look closely, you see a small stream. You can also see small fish in the stream.

Zhuang Yan didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and he would find the water source so quickly.

There were a lot of animals gathered on both sides of the stream in front of me, but as soon as they saw Zhuang Yan coming, these animals immediately disappeared.

Zhuang Yan didn't care, and walked to the stream with the kettle in his hand. The water in this creek was very clean, but Zhuang Yan still found a place where the water was flowing fast and buried the kettle.

Boom, boom Zhuang Yan tightened the lid of the kettle and tried the weight of the kettle, not to mention that the kettle was quite heavy after it was filled with water.

Returning along the original road, because a road had already been carved out when he came, it was very easy to come back, and after a while, Zhuang Yan would arrive at the clearing.

Wang Lu was still the same as when he left, lying lazily in the hammock. Seeing that Zhuang Yan was back, his body immediately sat up from the hammock.

Looking at the kettle full of water in Zhuang Yan's hand, Wang Lu's tone calmed down a lot.

"Yes, you've found the water source, but now it's better to boil the water you find before drinking, you'll never know what bacteria are in the seemingly clear water you see."

"In the future, unless there is a shortage of water in the field in an emergency or it is impossible to boil water, the water you find must be boiled and drunk."

"Okay, I got it."

Zhuang Yan began to prepare to light a fire and boil water.

However, now Zhuang Yan did not have any ignition in his hands. Remembering the method he once saw on TV, Zhuang Yan decided to drill wood to make fire.

Just do it, Zhuang Yan immediately found firewood, found a small wooden stick, and a thicker firewood. And he was ready to take a stick and drill a fire on the firewood.

Wang Lu watched Zhuang Yan busy with himself on the side, preparing to drill wood to make fire. He understood that like Zhuang Yan, even if he drilled until tomorrow morning, he would not be able to drill out of the fire, but he didn't say anything to remind him, after all, it was good to make this kid suffer.

Zhuang Yan found dead leaves and crushed them as ignitions, moved everything to a sheltered place, and then began his journey of drilling wood for fire.

first found a concave place, and then Zhuang Yan aimed one end of the wooden stick at the recess, clamped the wooden stick with both hands, and pressed it down. He began to rub the stick vigorously.

Then he sprinkled the scraps of the dead leaves in the recess, and rubbed his hands together quickly.

Wang Lu looked at Zhuang Yan, who was hunched over not far away, rubbing his hands quickly, and couldn't help but step forward to complain, but he still held back.

Zhuang Yan's hands were rubbing rapidly, but one minute, two minutes, five minutes, and ten minutes passed. Firewood is still firewood, and sticks are still sticks.

Out of the place where the stick and the firewood came into contact with some black, and then nothing changed.

Not to mention drilling wood for fire, not even a single spark came out.

Beads of sweat had already appeared on Zhuang Yan's head, and even his hands were already rubbing red.
