Chapter 25 The more critical it is, the more patience you must have
"Hungry, so hungry!"
Meng Bai got up in a haystack next to a pile of dark boulders, and he was awakened by starvation. (_
After two days of trekking, the students of their various departments finally arrived at the Banxue Cangyuan together with the Zhige Department.
After arriving at this half-snowy plain, Meng Bai finally understood what Lin Xi meant when he said that when they usually took this kind of course, it was rare for everyone to meet.
This half-snow plain is like a semi-arc-shaped harbor, and according to the instructor of the academy, the area between the main vein of the Ascending Mountain Range on the northwest side and the main vein of the Ascending Mountain Range near their side belongs to the Semi-Snow Plain, and they can move freely in it. However, the distance between them and the main vein of the Ascending Mountain Range on the northwest side was so far that the main vein that was majestic to the extreme was only a faintly invisible black line between heaven and earth.
Half above the snow line, covered with snow and coniferous forests, and half below the snow line, this vast plain is full of frozen meadows, rugged valleys, and jungles as far as the eye can see.
If he hadn't come here with Lin Xi this time, I'm afraid he would have just arrived here yesterday and would have cried directly when he saw this scene of poor mountains and bad waters, and uninhabited wasteland and frozen soil.
This campsite was chosen by Lin Xi for them, far from the snow line, and there is a pine forest on the northwest side, blocking the mountain wind coming from that side, and there is a stream flowing down nearby, although it has been investigated yesterday, there are almost no small fish in it, but at least drinking water is not a problem. The dry dead grass and moss cover can better maintain body temperature when sleeping at night, and under Lin Xi's teaching, Meng Bai and the others also buried some red-hot charcoal and stones in the soil below before lying down, which made the ground under them warm in the first half of the night.
But even though Lin Xi, who was already very experienced, could give him a lot of guidance in these aspects, according to the rules of the academy, any food had to be collected or hunted by himself. The heart is also timid and afraid, so he naturally does not dare to challenge the authority of the college lecturer and cheat.
Meng Bai, who was awakened by hunger, looked around and found that the sky had also brightened, and the place where Lin Xi and the others were lying on one side was also empty, obviously setting off to find something nearby.
It has been five hours since Meng Bai last eats, and his last harvest is not small, in a bush he found a dry turtle the size of two palms, which is finally a good meal, despite this, because he has not eaten anything decent on the road in the first two days, most of them are filled with various larvae and grass roots, plus the cultivator's food is large, usually this size of the dry turtle is probably one-tenth of the usual amount of food, from the time he woke up from hunger, Meng Bai has already felt the abnormality of his body, he felt that his body was a little cold, and he was shivering, an inexplicable panic and trembling。
Meng Bai knew very well that this was a sign that his physical strength had begun to keep up with the extreme hunger.
Hungry! I'm so hungry! The cramping pain and thunderous sound in his stomach reminded Meng Bai to eat all the time, and he even had the urge to pull up some nearby wildflowers and weeds and stuff them into his mouth, but the residual reason in his mind also told him that if he ate these things, he would be directly pulled half to death, which would be even more painful.
His gaze rested on the two tortoise shells he had smashed open beside the campfire.
The flesh on these two tortoise shells had already been gnawed away by him, and only some of the harder skin remained on the two tortoise shells, despite this, after swallowing hard, Meng Bai still put these hard skins and two pieces of tortoise shells on the fiery charcoal fire....Then he tore them with his teeth and cut them with stone chips, and Meng Bai swallowed all the hard skin that was charred and blackened, and he couldn't chew it like an old cowhide.
After finally having something in his stomach and feeling a little better inexplicably, Meng Bai carried a spear made of hardwood and walked towards a wetland downstream of the stream next to him, according to what Lin Xi said yesterday, there were likely to be some traces of birds in that area.
......
Gao Yanan quietly bent down and carefully observed the surrounding area, which seemed to have no moisture, but was actually a living withered white grass.
Generally speaking, there are many edible things in the plains and mountains and forests below the snow line, but this semi-snowy plain is obviously a place specially selected by the lecturers of the academy, and most of the places moistened by the water flow are just rocky and tundra, and the rest of the Dengtian Mountain Range should not lack vegetation, rich water and plants, and the climate is warm, so for the cultivators who hunt for food, this area is really a little too barren.
From the scattered black solids between a few withered white grasses, Gao Yanan easily judged that this was the feces of some kind of large insects, and along some gnawing marks, Gao Yanan quickly found several white fat insects that were two or three times the size of his thumb.
"It's disgusting. ”
Looking at these white fat worms, Gao Yanan's good-looking brows furrowed, and he also muttered to himself, but rubbed his shriveled belly, the tall girl still used a grass stalk to string these fat worms, ready to roast and eat them later.
......
Lin Xi sat in a small forest, and in front of him were several low hills, overgrown with all kinds of weeds, among which there were some small yellow wild chrysanthemums.
His last "big meal" was in the middle of the night last night, and by the light of a few firewoods, he caught a dozen small fish thinner than his little finger in a puddle. These are far from the loss of his physical strength, so an hour ago, he already had the feeling of inexplicable trembling in his body and weakness in his limbs.
But at the moment he was not looking for food, but was patiently cutting a few hard thorns that had been straightened by the fire-roasting method with sharpened stone chips.
Beside him, there was already a rudimentary longbow made of hardwood and some kind of tough vine.
After cutting the front part of a fine wattle wood into sharp points, dividing the feathers of an unknown goose into two halves, and snapping them into the grooves he carved out at the end of the fine wattle wood, and passing through them with fine plant fibers, tying them up, and fixing them, a simple arrow has appeared.
Lin Xi picked up the arrow very skillfully, opened the bow, and shot it towards the mud not far ahead.
With a soft "whoosh", the arrow plunged into the dirt and into a depth of about two knuckles.
Lin Xi showed a satisfied look on his face, picked up the arrow, wiped the soil off the arrow, put it on the ground that he could easily touch, and began to make the next arrow.
If someone can see his every move at this moment, they will find that the head of these arrows he made is exactly a knot, which makes the arrow part slightly heavier than the rest of the arrow without adding other weights after cutting, and the flight in the air will be more stable, and the material of the arrow will be tighter and not easy to break.
The academy's experience of surviving in the wilderness is not allowed to carry any weapons, but it is not limited to making its own weapons based on local materials. The reason why Lin Xi patiently made his bow and arrows despite the impact of hunger when his physical strength was already overdrawn was because he had already found hare droppings in the outside area.
In this wilderness where there are no large herbivores, hares, badgers, foxes and dingoes are already the best sources of food.
According to his experience, some large hares are even more than fifteen or sixteen catties, and being able to hunt such a hare can give him a real full meal and have more energy to gather or hunt other food.
Lin Xi had prepared a total of six arrow materials, but when he was about to finish the fourth arrow, his body suddenly slammed.
Just in front of him, on a gentle slope, a moving gray cloud appeared.
It was a gray rabbit, very fat, at least more than sixteen or seventeen catties, which was perfect for Lin Xi.
But after a slam blow, his breathing became more softened, and he continued to finish the tail feathers of the arrow in his hand without making a sound.
The special training of Windranger made Lin Xi understand that the more critical the moment, the more patience must be and the more important it is to wait for the most suitable opportunity.
......
Qin Xiyue slowly walked towards a low hill in front of her.
Luckily, she found two egg-sized wild fowl eggs early this morning, and she dug up an edible tuber, but it still didn't quite shake her out of her hunger.
Under the two days of eating and sleeping in the open, her stunning Qinghui jade face was also covered with a haggard look, like a fine dust of beautiful jade.
According to the views of many powerful people and real golden spoons in Yun Qin, a jade person like her naturally should not suffer like this, and naturally should be placed in the deep boudoir and put in the palm of her hand. But Qin Xiyue herself doesn't think so, she doesn't want to be a useless vase, or even become a man's accessory or plaything.
So she would rather endure hardship, so she wants to become strong, so she looks down on those who are unwilling to endure hardship, muddy, and have no ambitions.
Suddenly, while bypassing this low mound, Qin Xiyue, who was about to take a look at the scene ahead, was tense, and her breathing paused slightly.
She saw a moving mass of gray... A fat hare!
Almost as soon as she saw the hare, the gray hare, which had been chewing on the grass, also stood up violently and discovered her presence.
Without hesitation, the hare immediately began to gallop towards the woods on one side!
Qin Xiyue's heart was suddenly occupied by huge disappointment, she had already subconsciously wanted to run after her, but her reason and judgment told her that because the hare was already very close to the woods, even if she tried her best to rush there, this hare would be enough to completely disappear into the woods within a dozen breaths.
However, at this moment, what made her body smack again, there was a slight sound of wind in the air, and a feathered arrow shot out of the woods, accurately hitting the running hare.
The rudimentary feathered arrow was obviously not powerful enough to pierce the gray hare, but the second feathered arrow flew out without stopping and landed on the hare that was running with the feathered arrow, but its speed had slowed down significantly.
The hare finally found that he could not run towards the woods, but only turned and ran a few more steps, and then fell weakly.
