The island is now very much like spring in the north, and on sunny days, the temperature is pleasant and pleasant, neither cold nor hot, and it is very comfortable.

But once it rains, it will become cold and wet, and with the cumulonimbus clouds will come a thunderstorm, which must be accompanied by a strong wind, and the three things are separated, each of which is easy to deal with, but the cold and damp and the wind can be a fatal combination.

In the wilderness, when encountering these three combinations, you must first find a shelter from the wind, then build a rain shelter as much as possible, and finally set fire to escape the cold. Now you can see the downside of walking along the stream, which is not like a col where you can always find a sheltered harbor.

Yun Yanuan asked the three of them to wait by the beach of the creek, while he put on an unripe snakeskin and burrowed into the dense woods next to him, the trees here are not very tall, but very dense, without this snakeskin to protect him, his body wearing only a pair of underwear, will definitely be scraped into an abstract painting by the branches.

Cumulonimbus clouds are slowly accumulating, nature does not have much time left for a few people, he can't help but be a little anxious, at this moment, there is no time to build tents for them, and in such a short period of time, even if the tents are built, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist strong storms and rain.

At such times, it is necessary to give full play to the human eye, find the most suitable shelter, a suitable place, so that you can use the least physical strength to get the best protection.

The heavens are kind to people, not long after entering the forest, he saw several fallen trees, a very thick cedar tree with a diameter of more than one meter almost fell to the ground, and looked at the broken part of the tree, there are many wormholes, thinking that the tree was killed by insects. In this case, as long as the tree is not broken by lightning, then it is not a big problem.

Coincidentally, at the same time as the big tree fell to the ground, it pressed on several small trees that were only the thickness of the bowl mouth, and these trees could not be called the tree species, but it was obviously very tough, and after being bent by the big tree, it did not break, but grew on its back like this.

This naturally creates a one-and-a-half-meter-high arched space, and the original few small trees are already densely foliage, and with a little addition of broadleaf leaves, this will be an ideal temporary home for four people. Unless there is a strong wind of 10 or more, do not want to destroy this heavenly refuge.

The terrain here is not high, not far from the hillside, the possibility of attracting thunder and lightning is very low, but this also has a disadvantage, the low terrain is more difficult in heavy rain, it is easy to be soaked into the tent by the flowing rainwater. Therefore, it is necessary to dig a small ditch around the tent that is smooth and watery, it does not need to be too deep and too big, and the thickness of the right palm is enough.

Yun Yanuan called the three of them over, and began to divide labor before the heavy rain came. Diana is responsible for finding dry wood and firestarters, lighting a campfire in the vaulted space, while Hearts and Maya are responsible for collecting broadleaves, while she goes to find the fine wooden poles and vines suitable for fortifying the tent.

Time waits for no one, a few people shuttle around, and start to be busy, collecting joinery poles is a hard work, Yun Yanuan is wearing hiking boots, there is a steel plate in the upper layer of the boots, and when he sees the cork with the thickness of his wrist, he basically kicks one by one, and then brings it back to the camp.

The broadleaves are collected quickly, and these things grow on the surrounding trees, and soon accumulate a large pile, which cannot be perfected, but can only be done as best as possible. The arched space is relatively large, and it is impossible to protect the entire arched roof in such a short time, so it is chosen to repair it close to the corner of the fallen wood. This corner was chosen because it is leeward, which can block the wind blowing towards the campfire as much as possible.

The thin wooden pole is tied horizontally to the top of several curved trees with bark or rattan to form a row of stepped beams, and then the broad leaves are stacked from the bottom to the top, as if paving tiles, and finally a layer of horizontal wooden poles is added to reinforce, so that a temporary small tent is set up, the space is not large, I want to lie straight and sleep, it is estimated that the feet are easy to get wet, but in order to be strong, it can only be so, and I have to squeeze four people to deal with it at night.

The bonfire is lit at the door of the tent, and there is a canopy that extends out of it, and the fire must be in a ventilated place, otherwise the smoke of the plants and trees will not be completely burned, and people will hang up unconsciously in their sleep.

The moment the bonfire rose up, the heavy rain came, and looking at the pouring rain outside the tent, the four people wiped their heads and shouted, and collectively cheered. It's so refreshing that I didn't even get a drop of rain. The thunderstorm was at least half an hour earlier than expected, and the luck of several people was really good.

Kexin looked at the heavy rain outside, laughing a little silly, and had a feeling of complacency.

"When Maya and I were looking for broadleaves, we plucked a few ginger roots, do you want to boil some ginger root tea and drink it?" Ke Xin asked, holding the ginger root.

The rain slid down the round roof into the ditch outside, and not a drop fell into the tent.

"Great, in such a cold and wet weather, drinking ginger root tea is not too suitable, dissipating the cold and relieving the surface, and avoiding colds." Yun Yanuan said, took out the turtle shell and put it at the mouth of the tent, and in almost a few seconds of heavy rain, the turtle shell bigger than the basin was filled with rainwater.

Pick out a few pieces of wood that have been burned into red charcoal, put them in the middle of the three stones prepared in advance, and then paste three or four layers of broad leaves under the turtle shell, gently place them on top of the stones, and boil the rainwater inside with charcoal fire to boil ginger tea.

Broadleaf can protect the turtle shell well and prevent the turtle shell from breaking off earlier, and the same is true for using charcoal fire instead of open flames.

The hot ginger tea is a little spicy, but it is very comfortable to drink it warm in the stomach, and the four people have become accustomed to drinking the same bowl of soup, and there is no civilized meal system, because there is no suitable tableware.

They laid a few pieces of uncooked snake skin on the ground, which gave the four of them a layer of protection from the ground, warmer and softer, and also protected from ant bites. The wolf skin vest, which was originally disliked by the three girls, is now all worn on the body, and the climate seems to have changed abruptly, and the weather has become very cold, as if it is early winter.

"Oh my God, it's so cold, fortunately there is this tent, otherwise we would have caught a cold today!" Kexin sneezed and said.

Yun Yanuan shook his head and smiled: "Cold? It's so beautiful that your nose is bubbling, and in such a cold weather, if we are hit by a heavy storm at the same time, we will all freeze to death here defenseless until tomorrow dawn. ”

Kexin touched his nose and said in disbelief: "Is it so exaggerated?" It's not enough weather, is it? ”

Yun Yanuan shook his head and said: "Cold, heavy rain and damp, strong wind, any one of the three comes alone, we are fine, we have a suitable way to get through, but the three of them come together, it is really fatal." ”

Kexin nodded, believing his words, and Maya, a quiet little girl, suddenly asked weakly, "Then why did you die defenseless?" Shouldn't freezing to death mean that you have to wear a lot of stuff on your body? ”

Maya has lived close to the equator since she was a child, and she has hardly changed much over the years, so she naturally does not know the horrors of the cold.

Yun Yanuan added a piece of wood to the bonfire and replied:

"When people are extremely cold, there will be hypothermia syndrome, and the body functions will automatically adjust to reduce the blood supply to the limbs and trunks to ensure that the blood supply to the brain is sufficient, which leads to a sharp increase in the amount of blood replenishment in the brain, and the blushing is like drunkenness, to the cranial nerves will tell you that it is very hot, especially special heat, and then you will unconsciously undress until your skin is scratched.

It's terrible, it's hard to imagine that you don't live in the north, I remember when I was a child, my family lived in the northeast, there was a person who got drunk and fell asleep in the snow shell on the side of the road in the middle of the night, and when he was found the next day, he was naked, and he was already dead, and people wondered why his face was purple and red, and he was still smiling, in fact, it was caused by hypothermia syndrome. ”

The three girls swallowed a mouthful of saliva, their faces showed fear, and they almost subconsciously tightened the wolf skin vests on their bodies.
