Chapter 23: The Eve of the Crisis
Shen Mingyuan put the fish trap under the water, and now all he has to do is drive the fish into the trap.
He looked at Jessica, who was standing next to the shrimp hole, part of her skirt tied around her waist, staring at the hole with a serious expression.
It was also the first time she had fished in this more traditional way, and she pursed her lips.
"Jessica, don't keep your eyes on the hole, come to shore."
The temperature in late autumn is very cool, and if you are not careful, you will catch a cold, and in a harsh environment, cold, fever, and pneumonia will develop rapidly in a short period of time.
"Okay." Barefoot, she walked on the smooth riverbed, with all kinds of moss growing on the rocks at the bottom of the riverbed, and she spread her arms as much as she could to keep her balance.
There were some tender green plants floating on the riverbank, this was wild celery, and he looked at the celery.
[Water celery: A wild vegetable that grows in the river, it is sweet, contains a variety of minerals needed by the human body, and has a low calorie content, making it a good side dish. 】
"Jessica, help me catch some water celery from the shore and get some water by the way." He gestured to the kettle that was placed next to the shore.
"Okay." She went into the water again and held the celery in her wrist.
In a few minutes, a palm-sized silver and white white fish gradually approached the shore.
Shen Mingyuan quietly approached the shore and put his hand into the water.
Ripples ripple in the water.
Feel the waves in the water and swim quickly forward.
He held his breath as he moved closer to where the fish was.
The little fish quickly entered the trap as they had imagined.
Shen Mingyuan quickly grabbed a large handful of stones and blocked the exit of the trap.
He continued to chase the small fish until it swam into the fish trap he had placed.
"I've finally caught you." Shen Mingyuan picked up the bottle, and the fish in the water were swimming rapidly.
Half an hour later, Jessica takes out the bottle that was inserted into the shrimp hole.
Two peanut-sized red-shelled crayfish waving large pincers, and the rest is a green-shelled shrimp, which is enough to stuff between the teeth.
"Look, three lobsters." Jessica excitedly lifted the bottle.
"Hmm." Shen Mingyuan nodded, and now their dinner was over.
Your life path has been predicted. 】
[Day 1: You wake up happily from your bed, and you successfully repair the plane, you discover the Wisdom Spring, and you choose to go to the Wisdom Spring for the sake of prostitution. And catch some of the food, but you inadvertently break into the territory of the mutant black bear, who smells you and follows you all the way to the factory. 】
[Day 2: In the early morning, the black bear takes the opportunity to bite you to death in your sleep, and you die again. 】
[Day 3: You became a baby mutant black bear dinner, and you died a miserable death just like the players the other day.] 】
? Mutated black bear, Shen Mingyuan clenched the bottle in his hand.
It's too miserable to be eaten by a black bear in my sleep, and I can't be a black bear's meal anymore.
"Yuanxing, you're okay." Jessica frowned and looked at him.
The other party seems to have encountered something on his mind, is he trying to go home?
"It's fine." He replied calmly.
"It's getting late, let's go back first." Shen Mingyuan lifted the kettle.
Jessica held the celery in her hand tightly and looked at the sun, which was already hanging in the sky and would soon go down.
I patronize and catch fish, and I have to forget.
"Okay." She put on her shoes and returned to the factory base with Shen Mingyuan.
As night fell, the two sat around the window.
The Starter Pack does not have a lighter, which means that you will need to make your own fire.
Shen Mingyuan used the collected wood and string to make a small bow-shaped device for drilling wood for fire.
He made a small hole in the dry branch placed on the lower level, which was just enough to accommodate the tip of another branch.
The other, separate small groove is the device he uses for Mars.
Everything was ready, Shen Mingyuan gripped the tip of the wood and rubbed it quickly.
[Fire progress: 15%.] 】
He looked at the progress bar and sped up, and the progress bar was going up little by little.
With the protection of the open flame, maybe you can deter the mutant black bear.
Shen Mingyuan continued to rub, and the temperature gradually increased.
Drilling wood for fire, as a craft that has been used by human ancestors thousands of years ago, is still very practical when there are no lighters.
Jessica held her face and looked at this scene, this god was still quite close to the people, and she felt very proud to be his people.
About an hour later, a thick cloud of white smoke rose from the bottom of the wood, and several tiny dark red sparks fell on the collection crate.
Shen Mingyuan expertly picked up the spark and covered it with dry pine chips.
[Fire Progress: 85%.] 】
The next step is very critical, and success or failure is at this moment. Due to the relatively low temperature at night, it is difficult for the fire to survive in this environment.
He gently picked up the pine crumbs and poured the exhaled air into them.
White smoke began to linger around him, and Jessica was staring at the scene seriously.
She didn't dare to let out a loud breath, for fear that the exhaled air would extinguish the flames.
This way of making fire, she has only seen it on TV and in books.
"Survival in the Wilderness" is one of her favorite shows, in which Bale is from the same country as herself, but unfortunately his parents do not agree to participate in Survival in the Wilderness with him.
But now that she had achieved her goal, a smile tugged at the corner of her eye.
[Fire Progress: 100%]
The bright red flames ignited and made a crackling sound.
Shen Mingyuan smiled with satisfaction and placed it on the firewood pile prepared in advance.
The flames danced on the firewood pile, and he picked up the fish skewers that had been set aside.
"Let's have grilled fish tonight."
Place the fish on top of the flame.
Magnetomagnetic. The fat of the fish gradually drip down the body of the fish, exuding a rich fish aroma.
"It smells so good." Jessica exclaimed, now she just wants to have a good meal.
Shen Mingyuan rotated the rod of the grilled fish, the body of the fish gradually turned from blue to white, and its eyes also bulged out.
This means it's ripe.
He took the grilled fish and placed it on top of the plantain leaves.
Then he set up the tin cans he had picked up on the bonfire.
A few leaves of water celery float on the surface of the water, and the remaining shrimp and cabbage sink to the bottom.
Although he has a strong resilience, this does not mean that he is willing to fight diarrhea.
Fish and shrimp contain a large number of germs and parasites, and if they are not heated, they are killed.
Then the body's immune system will fight against it.
If you have a disease such as a stomach ulcer, there is a good chance that they will penetrate the body through the wound.
And some germs are deadly, diarrhea is just a trivial thing for them.
Shen Mingyuan stirred the boiling shrimp soup.
