Chapter 469: Rainy Season (2-in-1)

The best container in the wild is animal fur or stomach pouch, which has sufficient toughness and elasticity, whether it is to hold water or other is a very good choice.

The only problem is that it's not easy to get hold of these things, at least not even the shadow of a large animal that can be hunted by Bi Fang now.

Instead of trees, it is a better material.

Bi Fang climbed up the large slab of a giant tree, cut off a branch with a stone axe, and then slid all the way down the flanks to the ground like a slide.

It's just that the butt grinds a little painfully.

The height of the whole giant tree is unknown, but the root system of the underground is visible to the naked eye, supporting the huge canopy like a pyramid, and many northern viewers feel incredible when they see such a giant tree.

This is one of the most distinctive characteristics of a tropical rainforest tree – the roots.

"Tropical rainforests are home to a large number of species, so competition for space and resources is fierce. Plant roots play a role in absorbing water and nutrients, and are the 'main force' of plants competing for resources. ”

"Because the surface soil is fertile, the closer you are to the ground, the more competition between plant roots becomes."

Bi Fang returned to the ground, found the branch he had just dropped, and carried it towards the camp.

"Because of the fierce competition, the roots of plants have grown like an arms race, and whoever is bigger, thicker, and sticks deeper into the fertile soil will live better."

"In addition, the trees in tropical rainforests are tall and their weight should not be underestimated, and in order to support the canopy and expand the territory, the trees need to be supported by strong root systems."

Some of the larger roots of the giant trees can reach more than 10 meters high and extend more than 10 meters wide, forming huge wings, which are very spectacular.

[You can see a lot of things with the old man]

[Yes, I grew so big, I didn't know that the rainforest was so spectacular and dangerous]

[Hey, it's a pity that I don't have the ability of the old party, so I can't learn it]

【The club welcomes your registration】

[I'm going to send money.] 】

Placing the branch on the ground, Bi Fang rotated the stone axe in his hand in a circle, re-grasped it, and then swung it down towards the branch.

"When you are chopping, don't let the direction of force be aimed at your body, try to avoid it, even if you are a good hand with a knife, you may be stuck on it."

Bi Fang's legs were spread apart, his toes stepped on the branches, and the stone axe in his hand was swung towards his crotch, so that even if he took it off, he would not hurt himself.

A hole in the rainforest, it may not take a few hours to stink, and it will rot in half a day, and it can be fatal.

Bi Fang cut off a few sections of the branch that was originally the thickness of his big arm, all of which were the length of his small arm, and he picked up a piece and sat down by the burning campfire.

"I wanted to try to make a pair of chopsticks out of wood, so that we could eat more easily, and try some richer ways of eating, like steaming. We can quickly make wooden bowls and spoons using fire, just put charcoal on the wood and control the fire. ”

The log in Bi Fang's hand was about 30 centimeters long, and he erected it upright and split it in half.

It's a pity that I don't know if the stone axe is too brittle, or the log is too hard, so I didn't avoid it at the first time, but broke the stone axe into a small hole.

This forced Bi Fang to change the way, find a sharp stone chip as a wedge, aim it and hit the back with a big stick, and smashed it into it little by little, so that the log was successfully split in half.

He flipped through the bonfire with a stick, picked out a piece of red charcoal and placed it in the center of the flat surface, Bi Fang carefully blew the charcoal fire and let it burn the wood slowly, and soon the charcoal ash was wound out and sank to the bottom.

Bi Fang used small branches to control the direction of the charcoal fire, and it soon burned into a pit.

"If you find that you are burning too close to the edge or the bottom, put some sand or soil in those places to stop the charcoal fire from burning, and if you want it to burn slower, you can scrape off the charred areas on the surface of the wood."

"If you want to speed up the burning, you can use hollow stems such as elderberries, reeds or bamboo, or even animal trachea, to blow charcoal fires."

Bi Fang held a stone with a cone in his hand, the purpose of which was to control the direction and scrape off the surface.

These stone tools are not found casually on the side of the road, but are knocked out with other stones, or the old way, the big head knocks the small head, so that it can be convenient to work.

In just ten minutes, most of the whole log was burned, and Bi Fang poured the charcoal fire back into the bonfire, scraped off the surface with an awl, and leveled it.

A semi-circular bowl appeared.

The audience was amazed, but quite a few scratched their heads.

[Why don't you just use bamboo, scratch your head .jpg]

[Ah this, yes, just split it in half, isn't it possible to use it directly.] 】

【Did Fang Shen forget】

[No, isn't the shack he built still using]

[I feel like I forgot, after all, there is no bamboo nearby, laugh]

......

After a moment of silence, Bi Fang explained: "I'm just showing my skills, after all, not all rainforests have bamboo, most of the primeval rainforests are abroad, and I am looking for a more universal method." ”

Oh, I see, it's not because I forgot.

The audience suddenly realized, and they all said that they were reasonable, convincing, and worthy of Fang Shen.

Forgetting the unpleasant scene just now, Bi Fang showed the bowl in his hand to everyone, and the thirty-centimeter log was empty, leaving only about one centimeter thick, and the capacity was quite large.

"Once it's fired, the bowl is ready to use. If you scrape off all the burnt surfaces and polish the bowl with sand, it will be perfect, and the food inside the bowl will taste better, but I don't have that condition. ”

"The principle of firing a spoon is the same as making a bowl, after the firing is completed, it is trimmed to the extent that it is suitable for rice, and some particles will enter the wood when using this wooden utensil, so it is best to put it on the fire after each use, so it is easy to sterilize and disinfect."

After doing this, Bi Fang did not stop.

Instead, began to make larger containers, a bark box.

"There are many species that are suitable for making bark containers, such as birch, cedar and elm. Try to use bark that has fallen off or is about to fall off. ”

"If you must use the bark that grows on the tree, don't cut off more than one-third of its circumference to ensure that the tree continues to survive."

"To achieve the best results, we first soak the bark in water for a few hours."

The bark basket is relatively easy to make, and can be used to hold many things, such as tools or edible plants, etc., and the bark was picked by hand before Bi Fang.

The tree was so big that it would take two or three people to protect the environment, so even a third or a quarter of the bark frame was quite large.

The camp is not far from the stream, and it is only a ten minute walk to and fro.

Bi Fang pierced the bark of the tree, dropped it with rattan, and put it directly into the stream, and then he made a detour, and returned to the bamboo forest where he first encountered the bamboo leaves by virtue of the direction in his memory, found a thick bamboo, and cut it down.

Cut three sections along the bamboo joints, return to the camp and burn two small holes with charcoal, empty the water in the bamboo, and string it with a rope, so that it is a closed container that can hold water.

"Many times, people will use the water in the bamboo to replenish water, although they can do this, but if they are not people who have lived in the mountains and forests for a long time, it is actually easy to have stomach trouble."

[Why do you use bamboo again?] 】

[I still suspect that Fang Shen just forgot, the evidence is ironclad]

"Just now it was a demonstration of skills, now it's easy to use." Bi Fangyi is righteous.

[Ah, yes, yes, yes]

[We believe everything you say]

【Hey, hey】

Waiting for the bark to soak, Bi Yi returned to the bamboo forest.

"Find a bamboo forest in the rainforest, the easiest food to find is of course bamboo shoots, it's June, although it's late, bamboo shoots are not as much as in May, but it can still be regarded as spring bamboo shoots, if you can find a few, the traps that were laid before also have fish harvests, you can have a meal today."

Bi Fang cautiously advanced in the bamboo forest, he hadn't forgotten the bamboo leaf green he had encountered earlier, this thing would live in groups.

One was found on the bamboo, and it is likely that there is still a large one in this bamboo forest.

Coupled with the very similar colors around him, Bi Fang was very cautious in moving forward, and his eyes had to be scanned several times before he dared to move forward.

Even the audience is not noisy now, because it is really a little scary, just based on Zhu Yeqing's mimicry, it is obvious that I am the enemy in the open and in the dark, and it will be terrible to be bitten.

In the narrow bamboo forest, many bamboo shoots have sprouted, towering out of the soil, showing their vitality wantonly.

But can they eat?

The audience was puzzled that Bi Fang didn't dig it so much.

Because unfortunately, they can't be eaten.

"Digging bamboo shoots is actually a technical job, and it is not as simple as everyone thinks, the spring bamboo shoots that have not emerged and just emerged are the most tender, about two to three centimeters out of the land, and then more spring bamboo shoots will be old and hard, and it can be clearly found that it is completely inedible, so it is not easy to find spring bamboo shoots."

"Pay attention to the soil when digging bamboo shoots, when the soil is soft and slightly raised, it is very likely that there are new bamboo shoots underneath."

Bi Fang held the stick in his hand and poked it around: "Experienced people can see from the cracks in the soil that there are bamboo shoots below, especially the cracks are very large. ”

After searching for a long time, Bi Fang really had a harvest, and in a crack he found a bamboo shoot that had not yet emerged, understood and squatted, and began to pout the mud.

"Digging bamboo shoots also requires a certain amount of experience and experience, experienced people can know how big it is by looking at the head, where is his direction, and where he can dig it down with a hoe and pick it up as a whole."

"Inexperienced people may not dig, directly with their hands to pull, but you are difficult to pull, because no matter how tender the bamboo shoots are, they are actually very large, buried deep in the soil, generally speaking, loess, there is a certain slope of the kind of place is the easiest to find, and it is also the easiest to dig the bamboo shoots."

It's a pity that Bi Fang didn't have a hoe, so he could only dig up the surrounding soil and pull it out by hand.

"You see that the outcropping shoots are yellow in color, probably just out of the ground, very tender. If the head is black, it is already very old, and if there is only a little leakage on the head, don't dig it, it's basically lignified, you can't bite it, and you can't digest it. ”

After wasting his strength for a long time, Bi Fang finally dug out the bamboo shoots buried deep in the soil, tied them with rattan sticks, and tied them on his back.

After a few hours, he kept repeating this process, and he really met a bamboo leaf green in the middle, but unfortunately Bi Fang's luck was not very good this time.

It was a very timid poisonous snake that slipped away quickly without waiting for Bi Fang to get closer, and the audience finally saw how fast the bamboo leaves leaping in the forest were.

Almost a few dodges disappear, and if you don't pay attention, it can be completely scary.

Fortunately, until about three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Bi Fang had already dug up a full eight large bamboo shoots, and even if he peeled off all the skins, he could eat several meals.

With this harvest in mind, Bi Fang walked back towards the river, where the bark should have been soaked, and he checked the traps on the way, which were empty.

This made Bi Fang's joy of harvest slightly reduced, and he could only hope for the fishing grounds.

At the water's edge, Bi Fang scooped up the bark, shook off the water, rolled it into a bucket, which was the thickness of a bucket of pure water, which could hold a lot of things, and then wrapped the palm leaves at the bottom and tied it with a rope.

"Because it's bark, if you tie a rope directly, the bark frame will collapse directly, so we find a few branches with special elasticity and hold them inside." Bi Fang explained.

In just over half an hour, Bi Fang made a bark frame, tied a few more rattans, and even had shoulder straps, which could be used as a backpack.

If you put all the original bamboo shoots in it, there is still a lot of space, and the few bamboo tubes hanging around your waist are also filled with water.

Looking at Bi Fang, who already has everything, the audience called 666, today is a full harvest, a lot of bamboo shoots, all kinds of tools, and even a job.

[From scratch, awesome, this is getting more and more sufficient]

[Fang Shen is awesome! 】

【The Little Prince of the Mountain Stream Presents the Streamer's Spaceship*1】

Following the stream to the river, Bi Fang found the place where the fishing ground had been arranged, and the water in the fishing ground was very muddy and brown muddy.

Bi Fang looked at the fence and found that it was not damaged, indicating that the fishing ground was still effective.

He took a closer look, and the muddy water was calm, and when Bi Fang was about to insert the stick, suddenly a fishtail jumped out of the water, causing a ripple.

In stock!

Bi Fang was overjoyed, but he didn't make a rash move, but poked the tip of the spear into the water and stirred it: "We have to make sure that there are no other dangers in the water, such as water snakes and the like." ”

The water rippled, and the sharp wooden spear poked into the water, instantly stirring up a large splash.

Fish!

Lots of fish!

The audience was dumbfounded, and there was more than one that just emerged.

At least three or more! And all of them are not small!

Bi Fang's sharp eyes saw a stout catfish, the size of a forearm.

Seeing the moment it jumped up, he directly pierced it with a spear and instantly speared the catfish in half.

Stuffing it into the bark box, and before Bi Fang could continue to spear fish, the rainforest, which was still daytime, suddenly dimmed.

Bi Fang raised his head in surprise, and a drop of water fell on his face.

It's raining.
