Chapter Seventy-Five: A Stroke of Wit
Due to the problem of environmental soil, most of the soil in Northwest China, especially in the desert, is saline-alkali land. Underground rivers have been eroded over the years, and naturally they have become saline water.
Many times, animals can drink water, but people can't. Due to physiological problems, saline water can damage the structure of human tissues, and once drunk, it can cause vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and damage to organs such as kidneys.
Whether it's vomiting or diarrhea, the body loses a lot of water.
Seeing Oasis just now was so excited that he forgot about it.
Fresh water is nearby, but you can't drink it. Such a turn made the audience in the live broadcast room involuntarily launch a barrage.
"Damn, I can't even drink it. ”
"Anyway, is it because the saline water is too unpleasant. ”
"It should be the same as seawater, the more you drink, the thirstier you become, and you will expel more water than you drink. ”
"Keep drinking it when it's drained, such a big pool of water, I don't believe that I can die of thirst!"
"Obediently, brother, my scalp is numb from your show. ”
"Grass and mud horses, the laughing old man has a sore kidney. ”
"Let's go, our optimistic family doesn't have a retarded mental health like you. ”
"Close the barrage and keep your IQ. ”
Shen TM continued to drink after arranging, this magical logic and brain circuit, for a while, he was speechless.
Looking at the barrage in the live broadcast room, Ye Xuan suddenly had an expression of 'Are you sure you're not teasing me'. After a while, he asked, "I'm puzzled, this brother, how did you survive with your IQ?"
This oasis is not large, the waterhole is only a few square meters, but there are many plants, such as reeds, camel thorns, wild boar grass, poplar trees, etc., which are lush and cover the entire valley floor.
After teasing, Ye Xuan leaned against the poplar tree by the waterhole, carefully recalling the survival knowledge and skills in his mind.
After a while, I saw him frowning and smiling: "There you have it, I have thought of a way!"
Standing up, Ye Xuan slowly walked through the plants in the oasis, lowering his head as if looking for something. At the same time, he explained: "Most of the local people living in the desert areas of the northwest drink saline-alkali water. However, before they drink water, they will add a plant called ground pepper grass and boil it in water. ”
"This plant has strong medicinal value, can be found everywhere in desert areas, and has been used by folks to treat gastrointestinal diseases such as vomiting and diarrhea. After boiling with ground pepper grass in saline water, although it cannot remove the salty and bitter taste, it can eliminate side effects such as vomiting and diarrhea. ”
"What if you can't find the ground pepper grass?" Glancing at the barrage on his phone, Ye Xuan smiled confidently: "If there is no ground pepper grass in this oasis, I have a second way." Judging by the current temperature, it will definitely drop below zero tonight. When saline-alkali water freezes, there will be a desalination reaction, and you only need to let a pot of water freeze two or three times, and you can almost drink it. ”
Although there was a second backup plan, Ye Xuan still hoped to find the ground pepper grass. After all, it's only noon, and when the temperature drops below zero, it's estimated to be midnight.
Fortunately, this plant is relatively common, and he found one after walking a few steps.
The stalks of the ground pepper grass are somewhat like vines, slender and straight, and at intervals there are several narrow green leaves. Ye Xuan squatted down and flicked the dense leaves of the ground pepper grass with his hand, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the ground pepper grass, if you don't pay attention, it is easy to be mistaken for an ordinary weed." Some locals are accustomed to its taste and will dry their leaves and put a few sticks in them when making tea. ”
While speaking, Ye Xuan pinched off two stalks with his fingers, stuffed them into his pocket, and began to look for dead branches around, preparing to make a fire.
"You don't need too much ground pepper grass, generally 1L of saline water, five or six leaves are enough. ”
Oases have a lot of dry branches, and in such a dry environment, once a plant dies, the water in it tends to evaporate within a day or two.
Holding a large pile of dead branches, returning to the poplar tree by the waterhole, Ye Xuan rubbed his hands and began to make a fire.
After the last trip to Jianfeng Ridge, although he was not superbly familiar with several primitive methods of making fire, he was barely proficient.
Rubbing the ignition objects, selecting wooden sticks, sharpening grooves, the whole set of preparations was carried out in an orderly manner without the slightest panic.
"The fire plow makes fire, which has been explained in detail in the last live broadcast, so I won't say much here. If you are interested in new viewers, you can go to Station AB to watch the video of the previous issue. ”
After that, Ye Xuan had already finished his preparations, and at this moment, he was stepping on a piece of dead wood with his feet, holding the wooden stick in both hands and quickly rubbing it back and forth in the groove.
It's much easier to start a fire in the desert than in the rainforest, where everything is dry, and in less than a minute, some black debris appears in the grooves.
"Whew~"
Holding the ignition object, Ye Xuan blew a few breaths slightly, and thick smoke floated out of it. Then, a flash of fire quietly appeared.
"Haha, I can finally drink water!"
Ye Xuan smiled and put the ignition on the ground, and after adding some thin branches, the fire gradually began to grow, and finally a roaring bonfire appeared in front of him.
Take off the kettle jacket, catch most of the water in the pool, place it by the campfire, pluck a few leaves of the ground pepper grass still inside, and let it boil slowly.
He then removed the piece of camel meat from his backpack. In more than a dozen hours, the surface of the camel meat had dried out, and at the same time it was stained with a thick layer of dust. Wash it in a pool, skewer it with a stick, and place it on a campfire to bake it quietly.
After doing this, he breathed a sigh of relief, holding the stick in one hand and the rest of his head with the other hand resting on the back of his head, leaning comfortably against the trunk of the tree, and exclaiming, "You know what? Just ten minutes ago, I was ready to use the fresh water in my first aid kit. Once the water in the first aid kit is used, it means that this survival challenge has completely failed. But in the next second, this oasis appeared in front of my eyes. ”
"As I said, luck also plays a part in surviving in the wilderness. But good fortune does not favor fools, and if I did not know the habits of camels, the conditions under which clouds are formed, I would not have been able to find this oasis at all. Even if you are lucky enough to find this oasis, you will not be able to drink the saline water in the pool without enough knowledge and skills. As it turned out, I was not a fool, but a witty stroke. Of course, having said all that, I'm just trying to pretend to be a coerc!"
As soon as the words changed, Ye Xuan once again tricked a wave of audiences.
Seeing his smiling face, the audience in the live broadcast room was stunned at first, and then frantically launched a barrage.
"I've never seen such a brazen person!"
"A witty stroke, laughing pee. ”
"There are deep routines in the city, and I want to go back to the countryside. ”
"It's really life-on-going, pretending to be forced, I'm convinced. ”
"The daily routine, very strong. ”
"666, Sao is still the patriarch. ”
"I swear, let the patriarch do the trick one more time, and I'll send the plane!"
"It's a bit stiff, and I only give it 82 points. ”
A successful anchor must have his own live broadcast style, and Ye Xuan has gradually begun to find his own style.
Life is already very difficult, why do you have to be so dull and serious to watch a live broadcast?
Therefore, Ye Xuan's style tone is a little lighthearted and humorous in addition to being tense and exciting. He doesn't mind the audience's ridicule and jokes, which can make the atmosphere in the live broadcast room better and bring him a touch of joy in the wilderness.
