Chapter 2: Discovery

Yang Xue gave up thinking about it and was about to look for something to eat, first she began to check the environment of the large area by the river, she got up and stood on a slightly higher stone and looked around to see if there were any wild fruits or something, but she didn't find it for a long time. Time passed slowly, and she looked at the fish in the river again, but she gave up because there was no fire and the place was not suitable for a long time to make a fire. She decided to look in the direction of the river, and she had to find a place to settle down for a while. In this way, I walked along the river for nearly an hour, and when I was almost hungry and didn't feel it, I finally saw a peach tree not far from the other side of the river, and some peaches could be faintly seen on the tree.

Her spirit came to her senses at once, and she hurried towards the peach tree, but when she was by the river, she looked quite close, but if she did, she still walked for a while. When I arrived in front of the peach tree, I found that there were quite a lot of peaches on the tree, but the peaches were not big, and the largest was only the size of a baby's fist. However, many of the peaches were ripe and looked red. Yang Xue picked a ripe peach, wiped it on her clothes, and hurriedly stuffed it into her mouth, the taste was not bad, sweet and sour. After eating one, I picked seven or eight ripe peaches and took them to the river to wash, and then I ate four or five more peaches before I felt hungry and felt alive.

After eating the remaining two, I took a closer look, and the river here was wider than the previous one, and the vegetation was quite dense, but the trees were not as tall as before. The place from the river to the peach trees was a gentle slope, almost ten meters away, and since she had not carefully observed the surrounding terrain when she had just picked the peaches, she was going to take another look. After all, she has only found this kind of food that can be eaten directly, and maybe the food in the future will have to rely on it, and she has to carefully observe its terrain to facilitate the future picking route and so on.

Coming to the place where the peach tree grew again, Yang Xue began to observe carefully, and because of her height, she climbed a tree that was easy to climb. At this glance, she saw that behind the peach tree was a gentle, wide clearing, which consisted of almost all but a few large trees, and a few small shrubs. Yang Xue was going over to see if there was a place to stay temporarily.

She came down from the tree, took out the dagger she had just put away, picked up the branch she had thrown under the peach tree, and walked slowly forward. After secretly observing for a long time, I didn't find any dangerous animals, but I found a few pheasants running past the hares before I walked over. Walking slowly according to the terrain she had observed in the trees before, she found a cave after walking for a while, and the grass and trees at the entrance of the cave were deeper than hers, so she didn't see them in the trees just now. She didn't immediately go up to check, but followed the route of the cave to the left, walked a little way and then turned back to the right, and walked a while and then returned to the place at the entrance of the cave. After observing the cave just now, the area around this cave is relatively safe, and there are no traces of large animals walking and surviving.

So she picked up a few small rocks and threw them into the hole, and some pheasants came out of them, but she couldn't catch them. Then she threw a few more rocks and went in, and when she saw that there was nothing inside, she ran out. The inside of the cave is quite dark, and the visibility is not very high, but you can roughly tell that it is quite large. The grass inside is not as lush as the outside, and it grows sparsely, but there are quite a few of them. After looking at her, she came out again, Yang Xue decided to stay here for the time being, and the future will be talked about later, now that the sky is getting darker, you can't go out of this wood.

After deciding on this, she began to clear the grass at the entrance of the cave, and since she had no tools, she had to pull it slowly by hand. As for using a dagger, she didn't think about it, but she was afraid that it would not be easy to use it in case of danger or necessity when she used the dagger bluntly, so she gave up. So she slowly pulled the weeds with her hands, and ten minutes passed, and she was still pulling; Half an hour had passed, and she pulled it out again; Half an hour passed, and she finally pulled it out. Looking at the place where it was pulled out, it was almost six or seven squares, and I really couldn't pull it out. Yang Xue sat on the ground with her buttocks, only then did she feel a pain in her hand, and when she raised her hand, she saw that the originally white and tender palms had already had several blisters, and a few of them had broken open and turned black. I can't touch it, it hurts when I touch it, but I look at the place where I pulled it out, and I think it should be okay.

After sitting for a while, she decided to raise the fire first, and she was born on the ground that had been pulled out, after all, she did not know the specific situation in the cave. Otherwise, you won't be able to see it as soon as it gets dark, and the mountains will be darker than outside, and now they're all starting to get dark. She went around to find a lot of dry firewood that could be used to make a fire, but fortunately, Yang Xue used to like to watch variety shows and novels that survived in the wild. It is said that fire is essential to survive in the wild, so now it is the most important thing to make a fire.

While recalling the methods and steps of making a fire in the past, I can only use bricks and wood to make fire. First of all, she found a few suitable dry woods, then poked a few small holes in the big wood with a dagger, and then found a slightly smaller branch and the dried fire grass leaves that her father said in her previous life, put them in the poked tree holes, and then rubbed the branches with both hands. Just rubbed and rubbed until her hands were weak and the fire still didn't start, she wanted to give up, but she was afraid of the danger at night and the unwillingness to admit defeat in her heart still cheered up and continued. Maybe it's her luck, or maybe it's the sky, and the fire starts all at once. Then he put a lot of hay on it, and the fire was lit at once, and he hurriedly added dry wood to the fire. After watching it burn for a while, making sure it wouldn't go out, she went to collect a lot of firewood, this time wet or dry. After feeling that the firewood was almost enough, she sat on the ground, wiped the sweat from her head and rested for a while.

At this time, the sky is still bright, but the woods are already dark, and she has not eaten anything else today except for a few peaches she ate before, and she has already digested the previous things after doing so many things. She regained her spirits and made a simple torch out of a twig of a modest size and a lot of hay, and went to the peach tree to pick a lot of peaches, and since it was dark, she did not choose as she did during the day, but thought she could. This time she went to the river to wash the peaches, washed her hands, and drank some water.

Returning to the place where the fire had been lit again, she decided to march into the cave after eating a few peaches to fill her stomach, and now the fire was brighter than before, making it easier for her to observe and clean up the cave. At the very least, you can pack up where you will stay tonight instead of living outside.
