Chapter 21: Entering the Island
This is a repetitive process, when the wolf skin is dried, it will become very hard, at this time you have to start beating the wolf skin again, and then rub it with your hands to make it soft, and then stretch, sun exposure sterilization, in the beating, then rubbing, repeat several times, this wolf skin will become extremely soft and strong, comfortable and warm to wear.
Before the sun exposure procedure, this wolf skin should not be used as clothing or quilts, because there will be bacteria on it, and in the forest, even a lump of bird droppings can kill you, let alone a wolf skin, which is something that cannot be done carelessly.
In the vicinity of the sweet vine, Yun Yanuan remembered seeing a soaphorn tree, this heavy rain could not be missed, otherwise I don't know when I will have the opportunity to clean these wolf hairs next time.
So he braved the rain and ran to the soap-footed tree, plucked the lower ones, brought them back with fine pieces of stones, and began to apply the wolf's hair, and washed it with rainwater, repeating it several times, until a slight foam began to appear, so that the wolf's fur was sure to be thoroughly washed.
Don't expect soaphorn to produce a lot of foam, it has to be refined.
For a wolf skin, he has been busy until the second half of the night, last night did not sleep much, Diana was afraid that his body could not bear it, let him go to sleep, she said that on the island of Fiji, she had also cooked crocodile skin and python skin, and this is about the same, she can continue to complete the rest of the work, Yun Yanuan ran to the mountain depression with confidence, and slept next to Maya.
This sleep is sweet, sleep until dawn, wake up is Kexin on duty, she is rubbing the wolf skin, the heavy rain has stopped, the rising sun hangs in the blue sky, this is the good weather for the expedition, Yunya Nuan stretched his waist, with a turtle shell to cook a sea fish that was too late to smoke last night, everyone hastily ate breakfast, each packed their luggage, and began to prepare to enter the inner island.
Yun Yanuan put the wolf skin into his back basket, the back basket of the three girls was almost empty, only put some sea vegetables, pick out a few charcoal blocks that have not completely burned in the charcoal fire, and keep them in the back basket, the next time you drill wood to make a fire, use these toners, you can get twice the result with half the effort.
After judging the direction with the ant's nest, Yun Yanuan climbed the relatively high hillside to observe the road ahead, and found that the internal vitality of this island is really too vigorous, full of jade and verdant plants, looking at it from a distance, rolling and undulating, and there are gentle slopes everywhere, such terrain has caused great obstacles to the walking of several people.
Walking in a straight line, you have to pass through too many mountains, although it is not high or steep, but it is also twice as difficult, although the valley is gentle, but you need to detour, there is no compass, it will be very difficult to determine the direction, and you have to go back if you don't do well.
On the ridge of the wolf's line, the fox walks halfway up the mountain. The finch likes the tree low, and the bird loves the sky. Born according to nature, survive and keep the chain. The world should be vigilant, and it is easy to disobey it!
Halfway up the mountainside is the safest, in distress to advance and retreat freely, the highest line of sight on the hill, you can find the danger and food in the distance, but this is based on the wolf's keen ears and sense of smell, human beings do not have such a strong perception, and finally the cloud cliff is warm to take a straight line, although it is difficult to walk, but often ascend, you can determine a reference in advance, and confirm the correctness of the route at any time.
This mountain forest is full of tall northern tree species, and Yun Ya Nuan lived in the hometown when he was a child, the mountain is big but not steep, the trees are stout, towering, there is no enchanting poetry of the southern tree species, but there is a chilling and masculine warrior wind. One side of the water and soil and one side of the people, this is also the reason why the northerners are tall and strong, and they are still martial and ruthless.
There is a mix of tree species, and there is a sense of subtropical and temperate plant harmony, because here you can see not only sand trees and gardenias, but also cedar and poplar trees. People are amazed by the vitality of this island, with lush foliage, birds singing in the woods, sunlight shining through the dense foliage, sprinkling dappled light and shadow, the scenery is pleasant, and the air is cool and sweet, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.
Even Diana, who has lived in Fiji, which is known as the world's most complete ozone layer, for many years, can't help but praise the freshness of the air here.
Helping the trees down the hillside, he came to a ravine, which was full of a thick layer of leaves, and a unique fragrance of the forest filled with the breeze, Yun Yanuan stood on the edge of the ravine and did not rush down, but first used the hardwood stick in his hand to insert it on the leaves in front of him, and then stepped down, all the way like a blind man walking, trying to walk a little.
"Hi Cloud, are you worried about beasts under these leaves? I find it hard! Diana asked, puzzled.
This time, he didn't use Yun Yanuan to answer, but Xin answered this question first: "The fallen leaves have been piled up for a long time, layer by layer, and the exact depth of this valley can no longer be seen, so you must use a wooden stick to test it, in case you step on the seriously rotten place below, it will be completely finished." ”
Yun Yanuan praised it with a smile, and continued: "In many such places in the primeval forests of the north, we call them horse manure buns, and some places call them big smoke bubbles, after these leaves accumulate and rot, they will form something similar to a swamp, black and slimy, and there are a lot of toxic gases. ”
Diana has always lived in the tropics, rarely been to the north, is very curious about the natural ecology here, idle, chatting can relieve fatigue, Yun Yanuan took the trouble to explain, this woman is very serious about learning.
Yun Yanuan knew that she was trying her best to find a way to relieve her pressure. Among these four people, Yun Ya Nuan and Diana are the oldest and have the best physical strength, but Xin and Maya can't be relied on, only Diana, the more he knows, the better he can help Yun Ya Nuan lead this team.
This valley is very open, a large flat land, walking through the area of fallen leaves, the four of them came to a meadow, a small stream flows slowly here, the water is very shallow, not enough to reach the feet and necks of people, there are many oval pebbles, colorful, very beautiful.
Yun Yanuan did not rush to approach the creek, carefully observed for a while, and judged that there was no danger of snakes and insects on the side of the creek, so he came to the creek, dipped a little stream water with his index finger, wiped it under his armpit, felt it for a while, and did not have any burning sensation, and then ordered some stream water on the edge of the mucous membrane of the nostrils, without any irritation, so that everyone could rest assured to wash their faces with the stream water and go to get tired.
At this time, it was close to noon, and it happened to catch up with such a wonderful river, Yun Yanuan decided to camp here temporarily, rest and rebel here at noon, and then continue to set off after resting, the three girls were happy, sat on the big stone by the river, put their feet into the stream, and let out a comfortable and satisfied moan from their mouths. Recite.
