Chapter 23 VIP Players
"In half an hour at most, it will be completely dark. I'm going to have to make a bonfire and roast the snake. ”
After dealing with the affairs in the live broadcast room, Ye Xuan began to prepare to make a fire. In the absence of ignition equipment, if you want to start a fire by a primitive method, the requirements for ignition are very high. The whole jungle was damp now, and if he continued to use the dead leaves on the ground, the consequences would be the same as last night.
"The main reason why the fire failed last night was that the ignition was not dry enough. To be reasonable, it's hard to find something completely dry in this humid rainforest. But now with bamboo, it's a different story. ”
Ye Xuan said, picking up a dead bamboo from the ground. The skin of the bamboo has turned a smooth, oily yellowish-brown color, indicating that the water in it has completely evaporated. After dragging the bamboo to the side of the hammock and collecting a large pile of firewood, I saw him sitting on the ground and said: "I have taught you the method of making fire with a plow yesterday, although it was not successful in the end, that is also the reason why the fire is not dry enough, and there is no problem with the method and steps." Today, I'm going to teach you another way to make fire, the fire saw method!"
"The fire sawing method, also known as the bamboo sawing method for fire, was invented by the indigenous people of India a few years ago. In the same way as a fire plow, the principle is to use friction to generate heat, and the efficiency of the two is about the same, and both are very easy to master. The prerequisite for using this method of fire is that you have a piece of dried bamboo. ”
After picking up the bamboo in front of him, placing it in front of the live camera, and touching the smooth skin, he explained: "The skin of the bamboo is very waterproof, even if it is wet by rain, the bamboo under the skin can still stay dry. If you can't find a dry ignition in a humid and rainy environment, you only need to scrape the skin of the bamboo with a dagger and scrape the bamboo pole under the skin into thin wires, which can be used as a perfect ignition object. ”
As he spoke, he was already holding a dagger, cutting the skin of the bamboo, and then scraping the inside of the bamboo.
Soon, Ye Xuan had an extra fire starter composed of bamboo filaments in his hand, which looked like a bird's nest. Carefully stuff the ignition into your backpack to prevent it from getting soaked with moisture in the air again during the fire.
"The fire saw method is also very simple, like me, cut a bamboo pole in half from the middle, then put one piece on the ground, and finally hold the other half, and use the sharp end of the edge to rub the convex surface of the bamboo on the ground back and forth quickly. ”
Stepping on half of the bamboo pieces under his feet, Ye Xuan held a piece of bamboo, as if he was sawing wood with a saw, and rubbed it quickly.
"Crunch~Crunch~"
For a while, the sound of bamboo scraping continued to echo in the silent middle jungle.
After a while, white sawdust began to appear where the two bamboo boards rubbed against each other. Gradually, the sawdust began to turn black under the high temperature generated by constant friction. Seeing this scene, Ye Xuan couldn't help but speed up the movements in his hands.
A few minutes later, sporadic crumbs appeared with a hint of smoke.
He hurriedly put down the bamboo board in his hand, turned around and took out the ignition from his backpack, and then used a tree branch to pluck the burning debris into the ignition.
"Whew!"
Ye Xuan held the fire starter lightly and slowly blew inside.
As he continued to blow, wisps of green smoke slowly drifted out of it. As time passed, the smoke grew louder and louder, and finally a flash of fire suddenly appeared, completely igniting the ignition in his hand.
"Haha, I made it!"
Laughing loudly, Ye Xuan tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, put the ignition on the ground, and quickly joined the thin branches that had been prepared long ago.
The flames grew larger and larger, and eventually a bonfire appeared in front of him. Looking at the bright and warm bonfire in front of him, Ye Xuan forgot the tiredness of the day for a while, and forgot the stinging pain coming from his palm.
Suddenly, Ye Xuan discovered that surviving in the wilderness was not just a live broadcast career for him, nor was it for the belief value in the system. On the contrary, he began to enjoy the incomparable, soul-deep joy that came after each success!
This is the charm of survival in the wilderness!
"Since I came to this live broadcast room, I realized that I was just a salted fish who could shout 666. ”
"The real flower show!"
"Lao Tzu tells you, no one wants to stop me from kneeling today!"
"Don't pull me, let me continue to watch the live stream on my knees. ”
"666, VIP players are awesome. ”
"The streamer is a VIP player, so what are we?"
"Players in arrears!"
"God TM owes players money, and if you don't adapt to the water and soil, you will be convinced!"
"Grass mud horse, I can't watch the barrage, and the laughter makes my kidneys hurt. ”
"Anchor, stop inking, hurry up and eat snakes!"
Looking at the gifts that kept being brushed up in the live broadcast room, Ye Xuan felt a sense of pride in his heart. From beginning to end, he didn't ask for gifts, and the audience was completely willing and spontaneous to reward gifts. As an anchor, being able to do this level can be called a success.
At this time, the setting sun has completely sunk into the horizon, and night covers the land.
The campfire next to the hammock radiates a bright and warm firelight.
Fire is the greatest progress in the birth of human civilization. Especially in the wilderness, the appearance of a bonfire can make the helpless survivors feel a little comfort.
"Alright, the shelter and campfire are in order, and now I'm going to get to work on dinner. ”
After a day of strenuous exercise, Ye Xuan was already hungry. For two days in a row, he ate only a small amount of ant eggs and a cut tongue fruit. At this moment, his stomach has rebelled, and if it weren't for the fact that his reason was still there, he would even have an urge to gnaw on bamboo.
In the past, I used to hear old people talk about famine, and many people were hungry to eat tree bark, grass roots, and mud. At that time, Ye Xuan couldn't understand it, but now he finally understood that when a person is hungry to a certain extent, he will really eat mud!
The flashing snake in the backpack, the muscle reflex nerve has completely died, and at this time it is like a rope in his hand.
Ye Xuan nailed the whole snake to the trunk with a dagger, and said to the live broadcast camera: "The skin of the snake is easy to peel, you just need to fix it, and then grab the skin of the head, and you can easily tear it off with a hard pull like me." ”
"Tear up!"
With the sudden force in Ye Xuan's hand, a sound of tearing the fabric suddenly sounded, and the snake skin of this flashing scale snake had been completely peeled off. After the snake skin was peeled off, he removed the internal organs together, and finally only the white snake flesh more than a meter long was left on the trunk.
Returning to the bonfire with the snake meat, Ye Xuan threw the snake skin and internal organs into the bonfire and explained, "The reason for this is to prevent wild beasts from smelling the smell at night and tracking them down. In the wilderness, it is best to dispose of the scraps of food and not leave them near the camp, as the beasts have a very keen sense of smell. ”
Picking up a wooden stick from the firewood, Ye Xuan wrapped the snake meat around the wooden stick, and then put it on the side of the bonfire to grill it slowly.
