The first appearance of the system Lin Hai competes for the throne Chapter 10 Drinking and eating
A sudden chill instantly woke Feng Shiyan from his hearty sleep.
The dimly opened eyes could vaguely see that the faint light of the fire in the cold night, like the candle in the wind, seemed to be about to be extinguished in an instant......
A spirit.
Feng Shiyan hurriedly jumped up, grabbed a few handfuls of bamboo velvet that had already been prepared, hurriedly threw them into the bonfire, and ignited the fire again with the residual light.
Feng Shiyan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Immediately, some of the remaining dead branches and leaves were gradually built on top of the slowly rising flames, and finally succeeded in saving the bonfire that was about to be extinguished.
The blazing fire dispelled the slight coolness of the long night, and also soothed Feng Shiyan's whole person a lot.
It was only then that Feng Shiyan suddenly noticed the sound of rain in his ears.
The weather in the forest is always as changeable as a child, and the intertwined rain curtain is particularly misty under the faint morning mist, which also casts an uncertain shadow on Feng Shiyan's survival road.
"Fortunately, there is still a lot of firewood prepared."
Feng Shiyan was bored holding a branch and fiddling with the bonfire, feeling inexplicably happy.
The sudden night rain completely disrupted his original plan......
And his exploration journey is obviously going to be put on hold for the time being because of this shower - for him, a rookie who survives in the wilderness, it is obviously not a good choice to travel rashly before the rain stops.
……
He sat still, blankly passing the time of boredom, and a thirst for no reason suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
Feng Shiyan realized that since he fled from the bottom of the valley until now, he didn't know how long it had been since he had taken in water properly.
Whatever the reason, at least it's not a good sign.
Someone once did such a test, and the final conclusion was:
A person, without food, can survive for about 30 days, and without water, he can only survive for up to 7 days.
Although this test is somewhat underworld, Feng Shiyan doesn't think it has much scientific existence, but to a certain extent, it confirms the importance of water sources in the wilderness.
As a last resort, Feng Shiyan could only get up helplessly, staggered to the outside of the cave, raised his head, and let the raindrops fall into his mouth, in order to relieve the burning feeling caused by long-term thirst.
After ingesting enough water, Feng Shiyan resolutely returned to the cave.
Sit by the campfire and dry yourself soaked – hypothermia can also lead to devastating consequences, even death, in the wild.
Feng Shiyan always remembered this criterion.
Although the rain temporarily relieved his thirst, looking at the continuous drizzle, Feng Shiyan couldn't help but start to feel anxious, in the long run, water intake seemed to have become a big problem......
Looking back on his journey, except for seeing a water source at the bottom of the valley at the beginning, there seems to be no trace of any water source along the way.
If it hadn't happened to be this rain, Feng Shiyan could almost have imagined his tragic consequences......
But then again, rain is just an occasional event after all.
Feng Shiyan didn't dare to pin all his water acquisition on the matter of rain, he should have made some preparations in advance, after all, in the ever-changing wilderness, he didn't know what he might encounter in the next second.
Under the scorching flame of the bamboo, there is a "crackling" sound, which is particularly clear in this quiet rainy night......
Looking at the erratic bonfire, Feng Shiyan's eyes lit up, and he suddenly had an idea.
……
After some arduous struggle yesterday, the two bamboos that were finally tossed back were generally only half disposed of, and the rest were casually thrown aside by Feng Shiyan.
Mainly because he didn't have any tools at hand, so yesterday, he just scraped enough bamboo velvet and processed the chiseled half of the bamboo into smaller pieces of bamboo as a spare time for incendiary use.
And the remaining bamboo and a half, for the current Feng Shiyan, can be processed and made into a suitable water storage tool.
As long as the joints are chiseled, they can be made into bamboo tubes - which not only has a good water storage, but also is more convenient to use.
……
Outside the cave, the rain was still pouring down.
However, looking into the distance, it seemed that the sky was gradually whitening, and Feng Shiyan's first night of survival in the wilderness was spent in a panic.
He didn't know when the rain would stop, so he was particularly eager to deal with the remaining bamboo.
However, it is not an easy task to dispose of bamboo without the tools at hand.
He could only rely on the sharper end of the stone to cut the bamboo from the bamboo joints first, and then polish each bamboo tube to keep it for later use.
Although this work is quite time-consuming and laborious, fortunately, after a whole night of rest, Feng Shiyan's physical condition is obviously much better than yesterday. In the end, he managed to make eight bamboo tubes before the rain stopped.
Of course, based on the fact that everything is done under the dominance of brute force, the edges and feet of these bamboo tubes are somewhat untidy, but the impact is not very large.
One end of the bamboo tube has been broken by sharp stones, and the whole thing looks like a can without a lid, but it is obviously suitable for use as a water storage tool.
……
Holding bamboo tubes, Feng Shiyan came to the mouth of the cave.
He first pulled out a few deep pits in the mud at the door, then buried several bamboo tubes in turn, and wrapped them around them with wet mud soaked in rainwater to fix them, and several natural rainwater bearers were completed.
The next thing to do is just wait for them to be filled with rainwater, and roughly estimated, if you save a little, it will probably be enough for Feng Shiyan to consume for a few days.
Miraculously, until now, Feng Shiyan didn't feel any hunger.
Judging from the time calculation, more than a day should have passed since he woke up.
Perhaps it was due to the excitement of running along the way that his body ignored this need for a short period of time.
However, not feeling it does not mean that this matter does not need to be solved, and many things still need to be prepared for a rainy day.
Food is nature's most generous gift in the wild, but only for a very small number of people.
You see, in those wilderness survival shows, who else can live day by day except those who stand at the top of the food chain......
Many masters live a life of hunger and fullness in the wilderness, and you should understand how difficult it is to find a bite to eat in the wild.
The first dilemma for professionals, let alone ordinary people, is: what can be eaten?
Feng Shiyan began to congratulate himself as a chef, although he could not be compared with those wild survival experts, but he had a certain ability to distinguish ingredients, which may be the only place related to cooking skills in the system's mission this time.
So, the question arises again: in this vast jungle, what is easier for Feng Shiyan to obtain?
There are two directions: those that are edible, and the other is the bugs that are relatively easy to catch.
For Feng Shiyan, he prefers to obtain some plants to fill his stomach, mainly in this vast forest, it may be relatively easy to obtain plants, and with his vision as a chef for so many years, it is easier to avoid some risks.
The most important thing is that for eating insects directly, he has not done a good job of psychological construction for the time being. As for the big fish and big meat, at least now he is not qualified to think about this......
