Chapter 209: I feel sorry for your IQ
Wring out your soaked thermal underwear, place it around the campfire and let it dry slowly. Ye Xuan held the dagger and began to look for a suitable shelter in the surrounding jungle.
When passing by a pine tree, Ye Xuan couldn't help but stop. I saw that on the trunk of this pine tree, there were several thick scars, as if they had been scratched with sharp iron claws, and the scars were 3 centimeters deep, and you could see the milky yellow wood inside the trunk.
Pointing to the scars on the trunk of the tree, Ye Xuan explained, "Ladies and gentlemen, have you seen these claw marks? This is inadvertently caused by the brown bear when it sharpens its claws. It can inflict such terrifying damage just by grinding its claws, you can imagine what the result would be if it slapped a person with all its might!"
"I'm probably in the territory of a brown bear right now, so I'm not going to sleep on the ground tonight, it's too dangerous. β
A female black bear can easily kill him, let alone a brown bear. If you are attacked by a brown bear at night, with only one dagger, there is only one end, which is to turn into a pile of bear dung.
Underneath the thin layer of snow are layers of pine needles, which are extremely soft to step on. After walking for about a few minutes, Ye Xuan's eyes lit up, and in front of him, there were three thick pine trees. The three pine trees grow very densely, the trunks are only two meters apart, in a triangular arrangement, and in mid-air, many branches are intertwined and entangled.
Walking forward quickly, after thinking about it, he smiled at the live camera: "This place is good, I can use these three pine trees to build a suspended shelter." These three pine trees are equivalent to three load-bearing columns, and the intertwined branches in mid-air allow me to easily build a shelter on them. Generally speaking, brown bears cannot stand taller than 4 meters, so the height of the shelter cannot be less than 4 meters. First, I had to make a long ladder. β
With that, Ye Xuan clapped his hands and began to collect materials for building shelters and ladders.
His time was running out, an hour at most, and it would get dark. It is possible to light a campfire, but the light from the campfire is not as good as the sun, so it is best to get it done before dark.
The first is the rope, as for the wood, don't worry, in the jungle, the last thing that is lacking is wood.
Whether it's a suspended wooden bed or a ladder, you need rope. At present, in this environment, Ye Xuan's only source of rope is the root skin of the spruce tree.
This time, I used a lot of rope, and it took half an hour to get the rope done.
But once the rope is ready, the rest of the process will be much faster.
Regardless of how strong the ladder is, it's only a few times anyway. Therefore, in more than ten minutes, a simple 4-meter-long ladder appeared on the ground.
The grain reserve that stayed on the bank of the river suddenly panicked when he saw that Ye Xuan had not come back for a long time. The little guy has been eating and drinking spicy food with Ye Xuan for the past few days, and he has already fallen into a corrupt life, and it is impossible to let it go back and continue to live the hard life before. After hesitating for a while, seeing that Ye Xuan still hadn't come back, the reserve grain twitched his little nose and followed the residual smell all the way to find it.
When Ye Xuan's busy figure appeared in its ruby eyes, the little guy was overjoyed, and ran over with his little short legs, constantly turning around Ye Xuan's legs, and at the same time letting out a cheerful cry from his mouth.
After almost stepping on the little guy again, Ye Xuan finally became popular. With a black face, he picked up the little guy, put it on a branch nearly two meters high, pointed at it and said, "Stand here, don't move." β
Reserve grain lowered his head and looked at the height, and suddenly did not dare to move, and a whimper of grievance came from his throat.
Ignoring the little guy's cuteness, Ye Xuan leaned the ladder against one of the pine trees and began to build his own shelter.
With these three pine trees, Ye Xuan built a shelter, which was much easier. Start by building a triangular frame with two-meter-long branches, and then spread branches on top of the frame little by little.
Under normal circumstances, such shelters are set up quickly, taking only half an hour. However, Ye Xuan needed to climb a ladder to transport the wooden stick to a height of four meters, and considering the sturdiness of the ladder, he couldn't bring too much at one time, so it took more than an hour to get this suspended wooden bed to be completed, during which he also took the time to raise a bunch of bonfires for lighting.
Fortunately, the intertwined branches saved a lot of trouble, otherwise it would have taken at least more than two hours.
Night has long covered the earth, and at the end of the horizon, countless brilliant aurora lights slowly flow in the night sky.
I lay down on the interview and tried it, and found that it was very sturdy, so I didn't have to worry about falling down at night. Although the back is a little uncomfortable, it should feel better after covering it with birch bark.
"The shelter is done, and we should be able to get a good night's sleep tonight. β
The audience in the live broadcast room obviously disagreed, and they launched barrage inquiries one after another.
"Safety is fine, but how do you keep warm?"
"The patriarch's IQ is really catchy. β
"Patriarch Passive Skill: In a cold environment, IQ is automatically reduced by 500!"
"I guess I was stupid by the kangaroo's Zhigao punch. β
"Don't talk about it, the reserve grain is still squatting on the tree. β
"I feel sorry for my cute and cute reserve food. β
"Good girl, I really feel sorry for your IQ, don't you know that there is something called a fire pond?"
Looking at the barrage in the live broadcast room, Ye Xuan shook his head helplessly, and said disdainfully: "In the huge live broadcast room, there are only a few people who understand, and there are only a few people who understand, which is really disappointing to me." β
As for the problem of keeping warm, he had thought of it a long time ago, and the solution was very simple, that is, to set up a fire pit on the suspended wooden bed.
Fire ponds may not be seen in the northern and central regions of the country, but they are very common in the Quang Nam region. In the bamboo buildings of many ethnic minorities, there are still fire ponds.
After coming down the ladder, Ye Xuan remembered to reserve grain. When he came to the pine tree, he found the little one still standing honestly on the branch. Seeing Ye Xuan, Reserve Grain immediately looked at him with pitiful big eyes, and a whining begging sound came out of his mouth.
After pouting and hugging it down, the little guy was much more honest this time, and obediently followed behind Ye Xuan, and he didn't dare to be trick-or-treating.
The principle of the fire pit is very simple, it is to use mud and stones to isolate the flames.
Picking up a stick, he dug up a pile of mud in the ground, and then he carried it all onto a suspended wooden bed and spread it evenly in the corner. In this way, a simple fire pit is done. Ye Xuan clapped his hands, pointed to the fire pit and said, "The mud can isolate the flames, so you don't have to worry that the bonfire will ignite the wooden bed below." In the first episode, I spent the night in Uncle Ranger's bamboo building, and there was a similar fire pit in that bamboo building. If you had been careful enough, you wouldn't have asked such a naΓ―ve question just now. β
For a while, the live broadcast room suddenly swiped the screen full of 666...
After the shelter was completed, Ye Xuan went all the way back to the riverbank, the bonfire had long been extinguished, but the thermal underwear had also been dried. Bringing a backpack and carrying the bear's hind legs, one man and one fox returned to the shelter again.
A large piece of meat is cut off from the bear's leg, threaded on a branch, and slowly roasted by the campfire. Raising his head and looking at his masterpiece, Ye Xuan smiled and said, "Although this kind of shelter is not very comfortable, it can provide me with safe protection." However, considering that black bears can climb trees, I also need to make an alarm device. β
While this is likely to be the territory of brown bears, there are so many black bears in Alaska that territorial overlap is inevitable. So to be on the safe side, it's better to be cautious.
"During World War II, Alaska was an important strategic base for the United States. A team of soldiers from the United States was sent here to carry out the mission. They were very experienced and knew that they could not sleep on the ground, so they built their shelter on trees. In the middle of the night, a soldier woke up from his sleep, and by the moonlight, he saw a black bear climbing into their shelter. Ye Xuan paused, looked at the live broadcast camera and continued: "You can imagine what will happen later if that rice soldier doesn't wake up." β
After that, Ye Xuan untied the shoelaces on his right foot respectively. Tie your shoelaces to two pine trees at a height of 40 cm from the ground.
Then he made a trigger mechanism at one end of the shoelace, and a large piece of wood was placed on the mechanism, looking at the simple alarm device in front of him, Ye Xuan introduced: "This height is to avoid small rodents such as snow rabbits from touching it. Whenever a black bear tries to approach my shelter, it will pass by and touch the parachute line, and the trap will be triggered, and the log will fall to the ground, making enough noise to wake me up. β
After the introduction, Ye Xuan took the lead in trying the effect, the sound of the wood falling to the ground was not loud, but it was enough for Ye Xuan to be alert in advance.
