Ma Yun calculated in his heart that this thin grass blade needed to be dried for two days, and it was better to go to the fruit tree first. Originally, I could have reached the canopy bed after a day of rapid travel today, but it was delayed here for another hour to cut grass blades and drink grass root juice, so I had to speed up.

However, there are two advantages now: one is that after drinking the juice, the body is full of energy, the body is light, and the spirit is refreshing, and the second is that you have already walked out of a small road before coming, and you can travel a few points faster just by following the path quickly. Reaching the canopy bed before dark should be no problem.

Everything was as he had expected, and as soon as it was getting dark, he reached the position of the canopy bed. It was about two hours away from the fruit tree, and Ma Yun felt that he was not hungry and thirsty, and he was not in a hurry to collect the fruit.

It's just that Ma Yun was a little excited at the moment, and he didn't feel sleepy at all, so he slowly explored the grass near the grassy ground that he hadn't explored. It only took half an hour to simply search all the ranges within twenty or thirty meters before and after the canopy bed, and it was quite a small gain: two dead trees about three meters long with a bowl mouth were found, probably falling from the top of the cliff, and more than a dozen dead tree trunks with the thickness of an arm were found.

When Ma Yun dragged one of the dead woods with a thick bowl mouth, the dead wood was actually broken off during the dragging, and many strange insects about ten centimeters long, two or three centimeters thick in the middle, and two thin ends covered with brown crust, the insects had several circle knots in the middle of their bodies, and they went down one by one, each circle was smaller than the other, and when they reached the two ends, they became pointy.

The bug only moved slowly once in a while, proving that it was alive, and remained motionless most of the time. He also toppled the broken dead wood on the ground, and sparsely dropped out a few such strange insects, and a rough count showed that there were as many as thirteen.

Although Ma Yun can't name the specific name of this insect, according to the survival knowledge he has learned, such a bug should be composed of protein all over the body, and after being roasted with fire, even if it is violently toxic, it will be converted into fragrant and nutritious protein, and this insect has strong vitality, it will not die easily, and it can be stored for many days after being roasted, which is really the most suitable food for survival in the wild: it is nutritious, easy to preserve, and not easy to spoil.

These dozen or so insects are about the same size, and they are checked by hand, about two taels each, which is enough for a day's nutrition. Seeing these insects, Ma Yun remembered his life in the outside world again: he is definitely an omnivore, and there is no food that he doesn't eat when he eats with friends, and he easily doesn't dare to order, for fear that it will be bad if his friends don't eat it.

For example, the simplest chicken gizzards, duck gizzards, tripe, shutters, lamb kidneys, pig intestines, pig hearts, pig and sheep brains, beef and sheep offal, blood sausages, yellow throat, blood vessels and bone marrow, there are many people who do not like to eat, that is in Ma Yun's eyes, it is all food; Centipedes are often bought on the Internet and fried and eaten, and the taste is very delicious; toads and frogs are also big dishes in restaurants, and they are very delicious; as for snakes, Ma Yun remembers drinking snake soup once from a classmate in the south, and it tastes good; spiders have never eaten them, mainly because the spiders he encountered are too small, and if he encounters a spider the size of a fist, it will definitely be roasted as a delicacy.

Ma Yunzhi admires that Bei Ye is a man standing at the top of the food chain, because he feels that he is a man standing at the bottom of the food chain. While reminiscing about the strange things he had eaten, he put the dozen or so insects in the package, piled the wood together, cleared a small clearing, dug a shallow pit, and piled the excavated soil on the edge of the shallow pit to prevent the flames from spreading when a fire was lit for a while.

Soon a wood fire was formed, which would burn for at least four or five hours, and only one addition of wood in one night was enough. However, Jack Ma did not plan to let the fire burn all night, he just wanted to make a fire.

Sitting by the fire, Ma Yun looked at the shaking flames and suddenly had an urge to sing. In such an empty and lonely environment, without a trace of scruples and depression in my heart, singing is really a good choice. "Ten Years", "The Girl Across the Side", "Rock on the New Long March", "Naked", "Sudden Self", "Forget the Love Water", "Love Song 1990", and finally ended with a beautiful song "Sailor", because of the continuous singing, my voice was a little hoarse.

Let's talk about this song list, as a post-80s generation born in 1982, it's really hard to evaluate these songs when I listen to them. After singing the song, Ma Yun's heart was a lot happier, and the doubts and incomprehensions of the past few days were put aside. He simply took out two more bugs and threw them into the fire and burned them.

Soon there were two crackling slight popping sounds in the fire, indicating that the insects had been roasted and expanded, and they burned for about two minutes, Ma Yun picked the insects out of the fire with a branch, and at this time the insects already had cracks on their bodies, and their whole bodies became dark and shiny, and most importantly, the unique fragrance of protein was wafting around, which was so fragrant!

Ma Yun couldn't help but pick up a bug and knead it lightly a few times, and the epidermis turned into pieces and fell off little by little, revealing the golden protein inside. Ma Yun broke the worm into several pieces, but he didn't find any filth such as internal organs, and the whole roasted worm's body was full of protein, which was really enjoyable.

Ma Yun threw the worm into his mouth and chewed it heavily. Then he picked up the second burned insect on the ground, and processed it in a few clicks, leaving only the whole body of delicious protein.

Just as he was about to throw the second bug into his mouth, a small stone smashed into his head accurately, slowing down his movements as he prepared to eat the bug. In such the same situation, Ma Yun couldn't help but be ecstatic in his heart, how could he forget that there was such a little friend, and the little monkey must be nearby.

Sure enough, with a sound in the grass, the little monkey slowly walked out of the grass. The two eyes were staring at the fire for a while, showing a look of fear, and at the other time, staring at the insect in Ma Yun's hand, showing a fanatical look. Ma Yun looked at the little monkey motionlessly, and the little monkey also stood a few meters away from Ma Yun and wandered, one person and one monkey were in a stalemate.

After a while, Ma Yun waved his hand lightly and threw the cooked worm to the little monkey. The little monkey was startled at first, then showed ecstasy, picked up the worm on the ground, put it on his nose and smelled it, only hesitated slightly before putting the worm in his mouth and chewing it heavily. The bug seemed to have a good taste for the little monkey, and the little monkey danced and screamed as he ate.

When the insect was completely eaten, the little monkey stood in place and gestured to Ma Yun, chirping non-stop. Seeing the little monkey gesturing near the mouth many times, Ma Yun probably understood what the little monkey wanted, and just happened to be in a good mood at this time, so he took out two more insects from the package and threw them into the fire. The little monkey seemed very happy to see his actions, and turned over on the spot.

After a few minutes, the insects burned again, picked them out with branches, cooled for a while, and then removed the burnt skin from the surface and threw them over to the little monkey. The little monkey ate the two insects in a few bites, and seemed to be very happy after eating, and made a few strange movements at Ma Yun, and then reluctantly disappeared into the darkness.

"This snack guy runs away after eating, it's really difficult to deal with!" Ma Yun chuckled and shook his head. Looking at the fire in front of him, after thinking about it, he decided to extinguish it, so as not to cause a fire after falling asleep, Ma Yun felt that everything has a spirit, and it would be bad if he suffered this disaster because of his mistakes.

Separated the two pieces of thick wood from the fire with branches, covered the fire with the soil from the edges, and after making sure that there were no problems, he climbed up to the canopy bed and fell asleep.

This time, I woke up naturally, not only did I not wake up from a small rock, but when I woke up, there were peaches, bananas and other fruits in front of me that I had never seen in the valley. You don't have to think about it to know that these fruits must have been sent to him by the little monkey.

But the root of the matter is where the little monkey got these fruits, and he has already explored this valley, and there is no such fruit, and the little monkeys must have picked them from it, and if there are other places, either in the most secret places in the valley, or there are roads leading to other places.

Thinking of this, Ma Yun was even more excited. Just as he was thinking, the little monkey also appeared, and saw the little monkey standing next to the fire that had been extinguished last night, slowly rotating around the fire, and stretching out the soles of his feet to touch it from time to time, and also showed a thinking expression, seeing this, Ma Yun laughed.

Monkeys are very smart animals, and they can already use tools simply, but so far, scientists have not found monkeys that can make fire, but look at the little monkey in front of you, if you teach it, maybe it can really make fire.

"Little monkey, thank you for the fruit. Ma Yun picked up a peach, shouted at the little monkey, and then took a big bite of the peach. The little monkey also seemed to be very happy, and gestured a few times to Ma Yun. Now that he has the fruit sent by the little monkey, Ma Yun is not in a hurry to collect the fruit from the tree, he is now more concerned about where the little monkey picked these peaches and bananas.

He had a plan in mind. I saw him slowly walking to the fire that had been extinguished by the soil, and the little monkey hesitated for a moment or retreated not far away, as if he still had some scruples about him, and Ma Yun didn't care about it in his heart. People have been with people for decades and still have some suspicions in their hearts, and it is very good to be able to get along with monkeys for only a few days.

When he got to the fire, he swept the soil covered with withered grass to the side, and took out two pieces of dead wood that had been extinguished but still had residual warmth, then spread the dead grass on the bottom of the fire, took out the flint, rubbed it lightly, blew it a few times, and the flames came out, and finally threw the two black charcoal-like dead logs into the fire, and the fire burned gently.

Not far away, the little monkey stared at Ma Yun's every move motionlessly, and when he saw Ma Yun so simply, he lit a fire and jumped excitedly. Ma Yun took out two more insects and threw them into the fire, and it didn't take long for the two insects with an attractive aroma to be thrown in front of the little monkey. The little monkey didn't rush to pick up the bug this time, but gestured to Ma Yun again, and then picked up the bug and turned away.

Ma Yun wanted to catch up and find out, but firstly, the little monkey was very fast, and he might not be able to keep up, and secondly, he was afraid that this move would frighten the little monkey, so after weighing the pros and cons, he still resisted the urge to catch up. Wait until the little monkey is completely gone, then put out the fire, pack up the backpack and the gourd vine, and prepare to pick a bag of fruit.
