Infinite Disaster Survival.

With a sharp fire ax in hand, it was not difficult to cut down the bamboo. Soon a circular space with a radius of three meters was cleared out, and the felled bamboos were piled together. Wen Zheng nodded, the number of these bamboos was almost the same .

Wen Zheng needs to take the bamboo back, but the long bamboo is not convenient for transportation, and he needs to spend a lot of time to simply handle these bamboos.Before processing, sort out a slightly safe and open camp in the bamboo forest.

The intertwined bamboo roots of bamboo occupy the underground soil, and the overlapping bamboo leaves monopolize the sunlight. This environment is not suitable for the growth of other plants, so the ecosystem of bamboo forests is often relatively simple.

There are only a few scattered trees in this bamboo forest, and some fungi that Wen Zheng can't identify and dare not eat. Other than that, there are different kinds of insects.

Insects don’t need to worry. Wen Zheng can see small creatures crawling on the ground every day when he wakes up in the shelter. What he worries about is the common animals in the bamboo forest—snakes, especially where there are bamboo rats, and Snakes, which are food for rats, are often not absent.

The surrounding tall bamboos were all cut down, Wen Zheng collected the dry fallen leaves, and circled the circle around the camp. The arrival of snakes is usually silent, but under the deliberate precautions of humans, it is difficult for them to Hide traces.Any creature with a certain weight wants to get close, it must pass through those fragile dead leaves that can be easily broken by force, and the sound it makes is enough to make Wen Zheng vigilant.

Today's task is to tidy up these bamboos and move them back to the shelter. Of course, lunch will be settled in the bamboo forest. The ingredients are no longer seafood, but just caught bamboo rats and freshly dug bamboo shoots.

Wen Zheng couldn't help being a little excited when he caught the three bamboo rats, but he soon came to his senses and made him give up the idea of ​​breeding bamboo rats.

The meat of bamboo rats is tender and rich in nutrition. Breeding bamboo rats has become a popular delicacy on the human table.Many people in modern society want to make a fortune by breeding bamboo rats. After careful understanding, they will find that raising bamboo rats is far more difficult than raising chickens and ducks.

The reproductive cycle of bamboo rats is not short. To create an environment suitable for the survival of bamboo rats, feeding is carried out several times a day, and after giving birth to young bamboo rats, the mother bamboo rats are likely to give up feeding, so the breeder has to take over.

The most troublesome thing is the problem of captivity. Bamboo rats are best at digging holes. Both their claws and front teeth are good helpers for them to escape.It is impossible to lock bamboo rats with wood or bamboo, and their front teeth can even bite through thin wires.Those farms use cement to build rat ponds, and even bricks can't stop their claws from escaping.The front teeth should not be underestimated either, not to mention the simple weaving of the cage, even the thin wire may be bitten off.

When raising bamboo rats in modern society, it takes a lot of energy to prevent the bamboo rats from escaping. Wen Zheng, who stayed on a deserted island, had no choice but to give up this idea.In this large bamboo forest, there is definitely more than this nest of bamboo rats living.It's obviously a better idea to come here occasionally to catch or set traps than to laboriously breed them yourself.

Bamboo rats are relatively large, with their heads and necks the same size as their bodies. The whole rat is a chubby ball, and it looks cute, but in Wen Zheng’s eyes, it is fat and fat, and it may not be enough to finish a meal. .Among the three bamboo rats caught by him, two were comparable in size to small cats, weighing about four or five catties. The one that escaped last was slightly smaller, and was unfortunately hit on the head with a stone. Zheng went to pick it up and found that he was not knocked out, but was killed by a stone.

Nothing could trap a living bamboo rat, so Wen Zheng could only solve it on the spot.Although he has never killed mice, Wen Zheng has handled chicken, duck and fish, and the processing of the ingredients is often the same.

Remove the head and claws, and peel off the smooth fur.The fur of the bamboo rat is soft and can be tanned into leather and made into comfortable leather shoes. However, Wen Zheng does not have this skill. If it is too sharp, the skin of the bamboo rat will be so tattered that it has almost lost its use value.

Even so, Wen Zheng was reluctant to throw it away, and no resource should be wasted. He distressedly wrapped the bamboo mouse skin with the banana leaves he brought.The viscera and head were also not suitable for consumption. Wen Zheng, who had no food crisis yet, buried them all in the ground, leaving only three bare bamboo rats, wrapped in leaves and brought with him.

Bamboo is felled by an axe, and clear water flows out. It is because of the temperature difference between morning and evening that condensation water forms inside the bamboo. There is also a waterproof film inside the bamboo, which can prevent water loss and is an excellent source of fresh water.I usually go to the bamboo forest and shake the bamboo with water. If you can hear the sound of clattering, it means fresh water in the bamboo.

There is not much fresh water in each section of bamboo, all the felled bamboos are collected into the wide bamboo tube, part of it is used by Wen Zheng to wash the cut pieces of bamboo rat meat, and the rest is sealed and put aside for taking back to the shelter Place.

Putting the dead bamboos gnawed by the bamboo rats aside, Wen Zheng sorted through the remaining bamboos, and divided them into two piles according to the color of the bamboos.

The branches of bamboos with a relatively short growth period have a pleasant blue color, which is the color that bamboos that have not been exposed to too much sunlight can have.Wen Zheng still remembers an idiom called "Tender bamboo is used as a shoulder pole - it can't bear heavy burdens. It is often used to describe young people who can't bear heavy burdens. This means that regardless of right or wrong, this sentence points out the characteristics of tender bamboo. Bamboo poles It is relatively brittle and cannot bear too much weight.

The old bamboos that have grown for several years have been exposed to the sun for many years. They do not have "good skin" like young bamboos. Although the bamboo body is bright, it is slightly yellowish blue, and even the leaves are a little yellow.Old bamboo grows for a long time, its fibers are relatively hard, and it has excellent toughness. Usually, old bamboo is used to make various bamboo products.

It is these old bamboos that Wen Zheng will use.

In the village when I was a child, my uncle who lived next door had a good skill in making bamboo products.The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the houses with blue bricks and red tiles, and under the vines in the yard, the figure of the old man was bright and dark.After Wen Zheng fed the pigeons raised under the eaves, he climbed up the ladder to the roof. Standing on it, he could see the villagers working in the fields, the big yellow dog lying outside the door basking in the sun, and the uncle next door weaving bamboo. Rough hands with baskets.

How beautiful the memory was at that time, how gloomy the later changes are.

Those memories were deeply imprinted in Wen Zheng's mind, giving him the confidence to slowly harm these bamboos.First remove the bamboo branches and heads and tails of these bamboos, leaving only the bare bamboo poles.After all these old bamboos were disposed of, the ground was filled with these unnecessary things, and it took a lot of energy for Wen Zheng to clear them out of the temporary camp.

Picking up the bamboo tube beside him, Wen Zheng raised his mouth and drank a big mouthful of bamboo water. The coconut juice had a unique sweetness, the dew had a faint taste of leaves, and the fresh water in the puddle separated from the sea was a little bitter and astringent. .The water condensed in the bamboo tube is similar to dew, but it has the unique fragrance of bamboo.

After a short rest, Wen Zheng began to split the bamboo poles into bamboo pieces of similar size. This part of the work was much easier. Several bamboo poles were placed side by side on the stone, and several bamboo pieces could be cut with one swing of the axe.

Next, the bamboo needs to be split into two-finger-wide strips, and the green and knots of the bamboo must be removed.Wen Zheng was relatively unfamiliar with this kind of meticulous work at the beginning. The ax was heavy and wide, and it was far less useful than a knife when dealing with these bamboos.After wasting a lot of bamboo, Wen Zheng finally found the feeling and improved his efficiency. After more than ten minutes, he harvested a lot of bamboo strips of similar size and width.These strips are qualified to be used.

However, weaving bamboo baskets with bamboo strips is not an easy task. Regardless of the remaining bamboo, Wen Zheng picked up the qualified bamboo strips and began to weave and disassemble them according to memory. After a few ten minutes, Wen Zheng finally got a rough handmade bamboo basket.The bamboo basket was wider than Wen Zheng's whole body, and the gaps between the strips were huge, making the whole thing a bit loose, barely maintaining a square outline.

Wen Zheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and couldn't help sighing. The work is not finished yet, and the bamboo basket still needs to be supported and shaped.

At this time, the fire was used, and the sun rose to the top of the head unconsciously, just in time for lunch.Pile the dry and flammable branches and leaves on the ground, and the fire brought in came in handy again, and two piles of blazing flames were born in the center of the open space.Wen Zheng chopped out a bamboo tube smoothly, and the small tube made of palm bark and mud was successfully retired. The more portable bamboo tube was put on top and became a new tool for storing fire.

Wen Zheng found a bamboo piece of sufficient length, placed it on the outside of the bamboo basket, cut off the inner wall where it needed to be bent, and bent the bamboo into a [-]-degree right angle with his hands, and placed it over the flame to heat it up.After cooling, these bamboo strips can maintain this curved shape.

After working for so long, Wen Zheng felt hungry, and he took out the preserved bamboo rat meat. The temperature in the bamboo forest is relatively low, so there will be no problem with fresh meat in such a short period of time.

The dead bamboos were burning in the fire, and the gnawing of the bamboo rats ended the life of these bamboos. Now these bamboos are the helpers of the roasted bamboo rats. The final winner is Wen Zheng, a human being who needs food. Those who survived the catastrophe were all chopped down to the ground with sharp axes.

A barbecue grill is simply set up with green bamboo and placed over the fire. The bamboo is sharpened and penetrated into the bodies of these bamboo rats, and they are placed on the grill to be roasted by the fire.Wen Zheng thought for a while, picked up a thick bamboo tube, put bamboo shoots cut into small pieces into it, then added fresh water, sealed it with banana leaves and rope, put it vertically in another pile of fire, and covered it with stones. fix.

Wen Zheng was still tossing the bamboo basket, turning over the skewers occasionally.Bamboo rat meat was gradually roasted to produce fat, and the fat dripped into the fire, making a soft crackling sound, and the flame jumped up a knot.The bottom of the bamboo tube in another fire has turned black, and the stuff inside is slowly boiling.

The sea breeze passed through the bamboo forest, and the rustling sound of the bamboo leaves being blown was very ethereal. The fire made a crackling sound again, and the sea breeze carried the smell of food to farther places.

In the process of installing the cooling and deformed bamboo strips on the bamboo basket, Wen Zheng heard the frightened calls of birds from the depths of the bamboo forest. He stood up and looked over, but saw nothing.
