Chapter 39: It Seems You're Not Optimistic Enough

99.99% of human saliva is water, and the rest is lysozyme bacteria and other substances, and the effect of sterilization and anti-inflammatory is minimal, but in the current environment, it is better to talk than nothing.

Sepsis is not a trivial matter, if you are infected with sepsis because of a few small wounds, you will really want to cry without tears, so you can't help Ye Xuan carelessly.

He put on his clothes again, took out his phone and looked at it, and found that there was no problem, and he was relieved. Fortunately, he put a waterproof bag on his mobile phone before, otherwise it would have been scrapped long ago after soaking in the swamp just now.

After checking the equipment on one side and finding that there was nothing missing, Ye Xuan smiled at the live broadcast camera: "Ladies and gentlemen, the time is approaching noon, let's continue to hurry, by the way, let's see if we can find something to eat, I consumed a lot of energy just now." ”

He suffered a big loss just now, which taught him a lesson, and almost every step he took, he had to use the wooden stick in his hand to test the ground in front of him. Although the speed of travel is greatly slowed down, it is better than safety.

Walking in muddy swamps was a very physically demanding task, and the calf-deep mud made every step extremely difficult for him.

In half an hour, Ye Xuanzai only walked less than 300 meters. When passing by a dense bush of reeds, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he stopped and pointed to the reeds that had completely withered and yellowed, and smiled: "Originally, I was worried about how to make a fire if I found food. To be reasonable, it's very difficult to make a fire in a damp swamp. Because everything here, it's almost damp. However, the exception is reed flowers. ”

Reeds are perennial plants that behave differently in different regions. In temperate regions, reeds only bloom once a year, but in the tropics, reed flowers bloom throughout the year. For example, the reed flower in front of you has completely withered, and when the reed flower is completely withered, the reed will re-bloom according to the growth cycle.

As he spoke, Ye Xuan had already reached out and folded off the reed flower, held it up in front of the live camera, and continued: "The tidbits of the reed flower are light and soft, and dry, and it only takes a little faint spark to ignite the tidbits. The surface layer of the key reed flower, which has a certain waterproof effect, is simply the perfect ignition in the swamp. I'm going to bring some more to make a fire at noon and at night. ”

In just a moment, he swept away the tidbits of the reeds in front of him, and the soft and light tidbits were held in his hands, and he didn't feel any weight at all. While stuffing them into a waterproof bag, he said: "Reed flowers can not only make fires, in ancient times there was no cotton, the ancients used reed tidbits to fill their clothes to keep warm. ”

After loading the reeds, Ye Xuan set off again, and at the same time, a pair of eyes kept scanning the surroundings, trying to find a place where a fire could be lit.

After a few hundred meters of further travel, a large slope of higher ground appeared in front of the puddle, the soil of the slope was much drier, and there were some scattered dead branches on the key.

Walking up the dirt slope quickly, feeling the soles of his feet on the solid ground, Ye Xuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Putting down his backpack, he first took off his shirt and pants and carefully washed them in a puddle. It couldn't be helped, his clothes were all covered in mud, which could contain parasites, and it had always emitted a strong rancid smell, which made him feel particularly uncomfortable.

After wringing out his clothes and putting them back on his body, Ye Xuan looked around and said with a smile: "Although it looks desolate, this swamp is full of food. In the live broadcast room, viewers who have caught crabs should deduct 1, and I'll see how many people have caught them. ”

Suddenly, the live broadcast screen was occupied by a dense 1, but there were also a few 2s mixed in the period.

"Since the vast majority of the audience in the live broadcast room have caught crabs, there is no need to explain it anymore, it is estimated that many viewers are more skilled than me. Ye Xuan smiled, rolled up his sleeves and came to a muddy field.

He hadn't taken two steps before he noticed a mud hole filled with water in the swamp mud in front of him.

Squatting down, Ye Xuan compared the size of the hole, and said with an expectant expression: "It looks like it's likely to be a big guy inside, I have to be careful." ”

"Don't be cowardly, patriarch, just do it!"

", the hole is so big, I'm afraid the crabs inside don't weigh a pound. ”

"I miss my childhood, and I used to dig crabs in the countryside. ”

"Fack, I used to get caught by a crab and it was bleeding. ”

"The little prince of crabs is here, and the crabs that the old man has taken out can circle the earth three times. ”

"Haha, the patriarch is instigated. ”

"By the way, what kind of stalk is the patriarch?"

"Don't you even know the patriarch? Brother, it seems that you are not optimistic enough. ”

According to Ye Xuan's experience of digging crabs since childhood, the size of ordinary crabs is almost the same as the size of the hole. If there are really crabs in this mud hole, then the body size is at least eight taels without a catty. Such a large crab, it is no exaggeration to say that it can easily pinch off a person's fingers.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Xuan slowly lowered his right hand into the water-filled hole. Instead of stretching his palms out, he curled up slightly so that the crabs in the hole couldn't get their fingers.

To be honest, it takes a certain amount of courage to dig out crabs. Because the cave was filled with muddy water, no one knew what was going on in the cave, and even if they knew that there were no snakes in it, their hearts were still full of fear. It's a human instinct to be curious about the unknown, but also fearful.

The crab hole was very deep, and at the moment his entire forearm was fully extended into the hole.

Suddenly, Ye Xuan seemed to have touched something. With the touch from his fingertips, he immediately judged that it should be the carapace of a crab.

When digging crabs in the hole, don't hesitate, otherwise once the crab is given time to react, after it adjusts its body, it will immediately launch a counterattack with those big pincers. Therefore, after Ye Xuan touched the crab, his palm, which was originally slightly curled, immediately opened, grabbed the crab, and suddenly pulled it outward.

"Whoa!"

With the sound of water splashing, muddy water splashed in the hole.

I saw that in Ye Xuan's hand, there was a huge crab. The whole crab is not counting claws, its body alone is the size of an adult's palm, and at this moment, Ye Xuan pinched his abdomen from behind, constantly twisting his body and struggling, and a pair of huge pincers kept waving.

After weighing the weight, Ye Xuan estimated that this crab weighed at least seven or eight taels. Holding the crab in front of the live broadcast camera, he stretched out a finger, put it next to the pair of big tongs and compared it, and said with palpitations: "Do you see this pair of big tongs? ”

Looking at the big crab in his hand, Ye Xuan's mind immediately appeared with the fragrant crab meat, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

After pulling up a weed and tying the crab firmly, he continued to look for a crab hole in the mud. Don't look at the size of this crab, there is not much real crab meat, so he has to catch more.

In general, freshwater crabs have a lifespan of about 20 years, and in swamps like this one, adult crabs have few natural predators, plus there are no humans to catch them. As a result, there are a lot of crabs in the swamp and they are very large. In just ten minutes, Ye Xuan caught three more crabs, although the size of these three crabs was not as big as before, but they were also much larger than ordinary farmed hairy crabs.

"Haha, I can finally taste the food at noon today. Ye Xuan happily took the four crabs back to the dirt slope, rubbed his hands, and prepared to start the fire.
