From wilderness to palace

Chapter 15 Delicious Mountains and Fields
Considering the high temperature in the mountains in June, it is easy to spoil fresh meat.Liu Yaozu, who was going into the mountains this time, brought a piece of bacon specially.In his opinion, bacon has both fat and salt, which is very suitable for cooking and pairing with other dishes.

As for the staple food at noon, it was steamed buns last night.Even if it is stored with a sealed tape, it is difficult to preserve the steamed buns for a long time in this sweltering weather.And these big steamed buns are the staple food of the first meal in the mountains.

Use the fresh water brought into the mountain, add some fresh and tender cucumbers that you picked up in the mountain, and stir-fry it with bacon and pepper.One mouthful of steamed buns and one mouthful of vegetables, Liu Yaozu, who really felt a little hungry, felt that the meal seemed extraordinarily delicious.

Feeling the mountain breeze that blows from time to time, Liu Yaozu also smiled and said: "If a person is tired, it is true that everything tastes delicious. This is the first meal in the mountain, and it is quite rich. The rest is to build Shelter."

After lunch, the pots and bowls, of course, cannot be washed with water, but wiped directly with toilet paper.In the absence of a clean water source, the drinking water carried by Liu Yaozu should be used sparingly.

As for being covered in stinky sweat and wanting to take a quick bath, it is undoubtedly a luxury in such high mountains!

"Look around first. If you can find a place with a spring, you can dig a hole to store water. In that case, the problem of drinking water and domestic water can be solved. Every time you go into the mountains, it is troublesome and hard work." !"

Thinking of the importance of water, Liu Yaozu felt that he could look for it around.The pine vegetation is so lush, and the groundwater is also abundant.The premise is that he must be able to find a place with groundwater, otherwise he can only save water.

Turned over to the rocky cliff and cleaned it carefully, and found that the location was indeed suitable for building a shelter.After clearing the top of the cliff and finding some stones to build a simple platform, Liu Yaozu set out to collect materials for building the shelter.

To build this simple wooden shelter, just make sure it's sheltered from the wind and rain.As for functions such as heat preservation or protection against wild animals, Liu Yaozu felt that it was a bit unreliable.We're going to build a shelter like that, which is no different than building a house.

I chose two straight and hard miscellaneous trees with branches, felled them and dragged them back to the shelter.Simply compare and confirm that these two pillars are used as shelter supports, which is still very good.

With stone cliffs serving as another retaining wall, Liu Yaozu only needed to build a three-sided frame.With his current carpentry skills, even without the machines he bought at home, he can easily complete these tasks with the ax and saw he brought.

Before building a shelter, it is natural to build a supporting frame.Sharpen the tails of the two miscellaneous wood piles that have been cut, and put them into the fire that has not been extinguished for carbonization, so as to avoid insects or decay in the soil.

Using the purchased engineering shovel, Liu Yaozu dug two holes for burying tree stumps in advance at the selected location.After confirming that the depth is up to the standard, take out the stake buried in the charcoal fire pile, and insert it into the dug hole with force.

The piles were dug and filled tightly. To ensure the strength of the shelter, triangular pillars were laid next to the piles.In this way, the two pillars of the village side by side with the stone cliff quickly became stable.

"Well! The only thing left to do is to find a few more logs and build the frame of the shelter first. In addition, you can use the chopped wood to make a wooden bed suspended from the ground, so that you can fall asleep like that. more comfortable."

Before cleaning the ground under the rocky cliff, Liu Yaozu found that the ground was somewhat damp.Although you can lay out branches or leaves, and then lay the waterproof mat purchased in advance.But sleeping on the ground, he always felt uneasy.

At this season in the mountains, snakes and insects are more active at night.Although Liu Yaozu bought medicinal powder to drive away snakes and insects from the Internet.But for safety, he felt compelled to raise the bed off the ground.

Besides, it doesn’t take him much time to build a simple wooden bed for resting!
During the process of building the shelter, Liu Yaozu borrowed the camera equipment he carried to carefully check the angle and position.Make sure that in his spare time, these photographic equipment can clearly capture his working situation into the lens.

In that case, when you go back, you can use these materials to edit and let more netizens who watch the video know.Outdoor camping seems to be very fun, but if you don't have experience, you may find it difficult to move in the mountains!

This is still when the weather is good. If it really rains suddenly after entering the mountain, the situation will become more dangerous.If it is snowing, the danger level of outdoor adventures in the jungle will be more dangerous than other times.

Currently building a shelter here, Liu Yaozu didn't want to act hastily.Since it was built for those villagers who might get lost in the future, it should naturally be built stronger.Even if the villagers can't use it, he might be able to use it in the future.

Not surprisingly, he will explore the outdoor jungle more often in the future.These shelters built in advance will become his transit points.With these transfer stations to ensure safety, even if you enter a more primitive jungle, it will become safer.

To Liu Yaozu's surprise, while looking for available dead wood and miscellaneous trees, he also found wild blueberries that he had eaten for many hours.Compared with artificially cultivated blueberries, wild blueberries are really rare now.

"Good stuff, I haven't eaten this stuff for a long time, I need to try more today."

Knowing that this kind of wild blueberry is rich in nutrition, the villagers usually come across it when they go to the mountains, and they will pick some back to feed their children.If the quantity is large, it can be made into dried blueberries and preserved for eating. It is also a good snack!
From a few wild blueberry trees, Liu Yaozu couldn't collect ripe blueberries, and he didn't destroy the remaining ones that were not ripe.He just thought that these blueberries might fall when they ripen later, and he also felt a little pity.

But in fact, many animals in the jungle will also pick up these blueberries.If the quantity was not too small, Liu Yaozu really wanted to pick more and go back to make dried fruit.Whether entertaining guests or eating by yourself, it is a rare snack.

If you don't go into the mountains, you don't know, but once you go into the mountains, you will know that there are a lot of edible wild fruits and vegetables in the mountains.Even though it's not the season for pine mushrooms right now, Liu Yaozu also picked a lot of red mushrooms after walking around in the pine forest.

"Hey, fried red mushrooms with bacon at night, another mountain delicacy!"

While cutting the required wood, Liu Yaozu did not forget to search for some valuable and edible things.What made him even more happy was that in the process of searching for wood to build the shelter, he quickly found a low-lying land with warm soil.

Looking at the terrain, Liu Yaozu thought for a while and said, "If you dig this hole a little deeper, the groundwater will surely gather into a puddle. In this way, you don't have to worry about the domestic water you need next."

Water is the source of life. If you want to survive safely and smoothly outdoors in the mountains, you must find a clean and reliable water source.Although there are scattered shrubs around this low-lying land, the soil has relatively high sand content.

You only need to clean up the soil, and the water that precipitates after pooling should not be a big problem even if you drink it directly.But for safety reasons, if Liu Yaozu really wanted to drink this water, he would boil it and drink it cold.

When you really want to camp in the mountains, because you eat unclean food and water, you will end up with physical problems, which is also a very sad thing.Liu Yaozu is naturally very cautious when it comes to his own safety.

The engineer shovel was called to dig out a small puddle half a meter deep, and the edge of the puddle was also cleaned. Looking at the fresh water slowly gathering at the bottom of the puddle, Liu Yaozu also knew that it would take some time to fill the puddle with water.

"Okay, the water source problem is solved, and the rest is to quickly build a shelter."

As a newcomer, it is the first time to enter the mountains and try outdoor survival camping. Many things need to be learned and prepared from scratch.Fortunately, Liu Yaozu believes that these things he is doing now can also accumulate experience for him, and strive to do better next time he goes to the mountains!
