Chapter 17: Don't tease the anchor
The professional knowledge of water search just now pushed the atmosphere of the live broadcast room to a climax.
Barrages continued to flash in the live broadcast room, and at the same time, countless gifts were swiped. Although it is only a free fish ball, it adds up, and when the number of people in the live broadcast room increases, the accumulated fish balls are also a lot of income.
After all, the gifts that are bought with money such as airplanes and rockets are basically only affordable by local tyrants. But how many local tyrants can there be? For the vast majority of anchors, local tyrants can be met but not sought. Therefore, these viewers who give free gifts are the most important cornerstone of an anchor.
Some popular anchors with hundreds of thousands of people, their monthly income from free fish balls alone can reach tens of thousands.
At present, Ye Xuan's Ocean TV has a total of five kinds of gifts. Fish balls, shark fins, airplanes, rockets, and super rockets. The price of a shark fin is 1 yuan, the plane is 100 yuan, and the rocket is 500 yuan. And the most expensive super rocket is worth 2,000 yuan.
In addition to these, there are also fan cards. The fan card only costs six yuan a piece, and after the audience buys it, they can add the logo of a certain anchor fan in front of the ID. The validity period is one month, which is equivalent to a monthly card. And ordinary audiences, although they rarely give high-value gifts such as airplanes and rockets, but occasionally give some cheap shark fins and fan cards, it will also be a lot of income.
As time passed, the sun rose and the thick fog began to fade.
Walking in the jungle, Ye Xuan's eyes were like searchlights, constantly scanning back and forth. At this moment, the footprints on the ground not far ahead attracted his attention.
Walking forward quickly, Ye Xuan half-squatted on the ground and carefully looked at the footprints on the ground. Due to the humidity in the rainforest, the soil on the ground appears a little damp, so the footprints are very well preserved. The footprints are artiodactyls, the size of a baby's palm, and appear to have been left by wild boars or deer walking. The reason why he is so sure is mainly because of the ungulate in Jianfeng Ridge, and there are only a few kinds.
This discovery made him happy, because both wild boars and slope deer have one thing in common: their habitat is very close to the water source. Wild boars like to roll in muddy water, while Po deer like to forage in the grass near the water, so their range of movement is not too far from the water source.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile at the live broadcast camera: "Ladies and gentlemen, I found some footprints, and according to the inference, the owners of these footprints are likely to be wild boars or deer." Both animals love water, and if you follow these footprints, you will be sure to find water. ”
After knowing that the water source was nearby, Ye Xuan did not stop, followed the footprints on the ground, and walked quickly through the jungle.
As time passed, he noticed that there were more and more footprints on the ground, and even some rodent footprints mixed in. Eventually, the footprints come together to create a looming gap between the weeds and shrubs.
"Do you see the footprints on the ground and the gap between this bush?" Ye Xuan pointed to the grass and said as he walked, "This is the Beast Highway in the jungle. Each animal has its own habits and range of activities, and will never overlap with other types of animals. Only the road to the water source will bring their lines of action together. The Beast Highway here is not obvious, and in the African savannah, there are many Beast Roads that extend in all directions. The end of these roads is the water source!"
As we continued to follow the Beast Road, the terrain began to gradually descend.
This discovery made him feel reassured, it seems that he is not going in the wrong direction, and he believes that he will definitely find the water source after walking a few hundred meters at most.
A few hundred meters, which doesn't sound far, can be reached in a few minutes at most on a flat road. But in the primeval rainforest, it took Ye Xuan half an hour to reach his destination.
It is a ravine with a wide and flat bottom and sparsely wooded with only a few shrubs and weeds. In front of him was a small puddle.
Seeing that he successfully found the water source, the live broadcast room suddenly swiped the screen full of 666. But there was no smile on Ye Xuan's face.
The puddle is so small that it is less than 20 centimeters deep, and it is supposed to be formed by the rainwater pooling together during the rainy season. The water in the puddle looks a little muddy, and there are many dead branches and leaves on the water. Most crucially, in the central area of the puddle, a rotting and smelly rat corpse is floating quietly.
Squatting down, Ye Xuan waved his hand to drive away the flies flying up and down in front of him, and said helplessly: "I finally found a water source, but unfortunately I can't drink it." This rotting rat I reckon has been dead for at least a week, and the entire puddle of water has been completely contaminated. There are a lot of germs and parasites in the water, and even if the water is boiled, it is risky to drink. ”
In fact, there are no dead rats, and many lakes and fish ponds often have fish, shrimp or animals rotting. However, this puddle is too small to have a complete ecosystem, so it does not have the ability to purify itself.
After staring at the muddy puddle and thinking for a moment, Ye Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a smile: "Although the water in the puddle can't be drunk, I have other ways." Ladies and gentlemen, watch and study hard!"
With that, Ye Xuan took a few steps back and stood about ten meters away from the puddle. Then he put down his phone and began to wave his hands and dig through the mud.
The soil was damp and soft, and it was very easy to dig, and in less than ten seconds, he had already dug a mud pit. Further down, the dirt begins to turn into thin mud, and some muddy muddy water appears. He didn't stop digging until he was about 30 centimeters deep, and by this time a lot of water had seeped out of the bottom of the mud pit.
After doing this, Ye Xuan wiped the mud in his hand on his trouser leg for a long time, and said at the same time: "Wait for the mud in the water to settle for a while, and then you can drink it." ”
Through the ultra-clear picture, looking at the muddy water in the mud puddle like coffee, the audience expressed their doubts.
"I don't read much, don't lie to me!"
"Damn, who can drink this?"
"It's so dirty, I'd rather drink the water from the puddle. ”
"Anchor, you seem to be deliberately making me laugh. ”
"Don't tease the anchor, let's go find water. ”
"I bet on a pack of spicy strips, and this water has diarrhea from the cliff. ”
Glancing at the barrage on the screen of his mobile phone, Ye Xuan explained with a smile: "I didn't tease you, don't be fooled by appearances, although the water in this pit does look dirtier than the water in the puddle." But I promise, the water in this puddle is a hundred times cleaner than the puddle!"
"The water in the puddle just now seems to be clear. In fact, a large number of animals come to drink water every day, and the saliva of animals inevitably falls into it, and the puddles are too small to have no self-purification ability, so there are various parasites in the water. At the same time, there was a dead and rotting rat, and the water was infected with viruses and bacteria. ”
"The water in the mud pit is different, it is formed by the infiltration of groundwater, and the sand and mud in the soil act as a natural filter. Don't look at the turbidity of the water, in fact, it's just dirt, you just need to wait until the soil settles, and you can drink it. Of course, it's best to boil it before drinking it to be safe. ”
