Chapter 61: Sit Down, Basic Operations!
Such a real tragedy is far more than this, and it happens every year in the wilderness of the world.
Willpower can make people burst out of infinite potential, and Ye Xuan knew it deeply when he was deep in the swamp of the tropical rainforest. At that time, halfway through the breakdown, he was actually out of strength, and the second half completely relied on the willpower to survive to climb out of the quagmire.
But that's easier said than done. Survival skills and knowledge can be acquired through study. But tenacious and tenacious willpower is not something that can be immediately possessed by reading a few books and listening to a few paragraphs of chicken soup for the soul, but needs to be tempered by many difficulties and adversities.
Walking alone in the desert, there are only two feelings, loneliness and dryness.
Loneliness is the deep experience of the heart, while dryness is the most intuitive feeling of the outer senses. Everything here is dry, and even every breath of air is extremely dry.
"As I said before, in the desert, you need to find ways to reduce your own water consumption. In addition to wrapping your whole body and staying in the shade, there are a few small details. For example, if possible, you should not breathe through your mouth, but through your nose, which will reduce water loss from your mouth. Another example is to eat as little as possible, because the stomach consumes water while digesting food. A person can live for a week without food, but without water, he can only live for three days at most. So in the desert, it is enough to supplement only a small amount of food every day to maintain normal activities. β
In fact, there is another thing he didn't say, and that is to try not to speak.
But in order to go live, to stay engaged, he had to speak. That's why when he goes into the desert, he fills the jug with water, which is used to replenish the water he consumes when he speaks.
Taking out the kettle and taking a sip again, Ye Xuan continued to interact with the audience in the live broadcast room, popularizing some tips for surviving in the desert, "Drinking water in the desert requires certain skills, especially when you don't carry much fresh water, you should pay more attention." The human stomach and intestine absorb water very slowly, which does not mean that the body can absorb all the water immediately after you drink it. β
"AS A VERY SIMPLE EXAMPLE, IF YOU DRINK 1000ML OF WATER AT A TIME, YOUR BODY WILL ONLY ABSORB 420ML IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, AND THE REMAINING 580ML WILL BE EXCRETED THROUGH URINE AND SWEAT DUE TO THE HIGH TEMPERATURE DURING THIS PERIOD. IN OTHER WORDS, YOU WASTE 580ML OF FRESH WATER. But if you drink the 1000ml of water in 10 times, with an interval of half an hour each time, you can maximize the absorption by the body. It's important to remember that unless you have plenty of fresh water, don't try to gulp down even if you're thirsty. β
Honestly, it takes a certain amount of self-control. It is difficult to change people's habits, but in the harsh wilderness, you must learn to change, otherwise you can only say that you are not suitable for the wilderness.
"Haha, ladies and gentlemen, I found a good thing. β
At this moment, Ye Xuan, who was walking, suddenly stopped and pointed to the sand in front of him.
Hearing him say this, the audience in the live broadcast room looked in the direction of his finger. I saw that under the surface of the sandy ground in front of me, something was moving slowly. It seemed that Ye Xuan's voice made it feel threatened, and the little thing under the sand suddenly sped up and wanted to escape.
Seeing that this thing wanted to escape, Ye Xuan hurriedly rushed forward and kicked it out from under the sand directly.
On the golden sand, a yellow-brown translucent scorpion was trying to twist its body to burrow back into the sand. Seeing this scene, Ye Xuan smiled, took out the dagger, and firmly pressed the scorpion on the sand. Suddenly, the threatened scorpion, constantly waving two pincers, and at the same time carrying the tail of a stinger behind it, kept hitting the dagger, making a crisp and faint knocking sound.
"This is an East Asian pincer scorpion, and they are widely distributed in this desert. Don't underestimate this guy, although its poison is not fatal, it is not pleasant. See the full venom gland at the end of its tail, if it is stung by it, it will have severe pain near the wound and will last for several hours. Ye Xuan said as he slowly moved the dagger, cutting off the venom glands and stingers on the tail of the East Asian pincer scorpion.
After doing this, he boldly pinched the scorpion in his hand, held it in front of the live camera, and continued: "As long as you cut off the venom glands and stingers on its tail, the rest can be eaten." In the desert, food is as scarce as water. This thing has a lot of protein and a small amount of water in its body. At this time, don't be picky eaters, some of them are already very lucky. And this guy looks crystal clear, and the taste shouldn't be too bad. β
After saying that, Ye Xuan did not hesitate at all, and directly threw the whole scorpion into his mouth, and then chewed it quickly.
He had eaten roasted scorpions before, and the taste was not bad, the flavor was unique, and it was a special delicacy. So he thinks that the taste of raw scorpions should not be too bad.
As it turned out, he was still too naΓ―ve.
Ye Xuan's movements were too much, so that the audience in the live broadcast room didn't react at all for a while. Many budding newcomers thought that he would at least roast the scorpion before eating, but he didn't expect to eat it so neatly.
At this moment, seeing that he was expressionless, he just kept chewing, and couldn't help but launch a barrage of inquiries.
"Damn, is the anchor so fierce? Eat scorpions raw. β
"Patriarch, how does it taste?"
"666, this anchor is really awesome. β
"The thief chicken is exciting, it's really fierce. β
"Meng Xin is all for Lao Tzu to sit down, just the basic operation. β
"Haha, God TM basic operation, brother steady. β
"Confess that the vocal family gave the anchor 1 plane--- don't get excited, basic operation. β
"Xiaobai is old, and he is old, and he will give the anchor 88 shark fins--- after all, VIP players!"
"Yijia Little Bee gave the anchor 999 fish balls--- obediently, and the patriarch started to show again. β
Glancing at the barrage in the live broadcast room, Ye Xuan tried his best to swallow the scorpion in his mouth, and after pouring a sip of water, he said slowly: "Do you want to hear the truth or lie?"
For a while, the live broadcast screen was suddenly covered by the black barrage. Truth and falsehood are divided half.
Seeing this, he pursed his lips, "The lie is that it smells like chicken, and it's crunchy." β
"Truth be told, this thing is like a squishy lobster shell, stuffed with a foul, sticky slurry. Ye Xuan paused slightly, and touched the corner of his mouth with his hand, "And when this guy was in my mouth, he also pinched me." β
Burst!
Originally, hearing him say this, the audience in the live broadcast room still had some sympathy, but when Ye Xuan finally said that his mouth was clamped, he couldn't hold back anymore and laughed out loud.
A small scorpion had a belly and didn't feel anything at all, but he didn't waste time looking for food. Because in order to survive in the desert, food is secondary, and fresh water is the most important.
Therefore, Ye Xuan's primary goal is to find fresh water. Although it is a difficult thing to do in the middle of a desert, it is not impossible. As long as you have enough survival skills, you can definitely find fresh water.
Putting the dagger back into his lap, Ye Xuan continued to move forward.
