Living in the Wilderness Becomes Stronger

Chapter 8 Fire and Water

"Come on, listen." Xu Yi stood up and gave Lu Ke his seat.

Lu Ke immediately understood that there must be a voice, and Xu Yi let him listen to it.

Sure enough, after lying down and listening for a while, you can hear the sound of 'boom'.

It's not particularly loud, but it's clear.

This shows that they are not far from the water source.

"Over there, over there!" Lu Ke jumped up excitedly, pointing to the front and shouting.

Her mouth was already very thirsty, and she didn't encounter any kind of food along the way, but Xu Yi collected some dried moss and put it in the pocket of Lu Ke's coat, groaning.Xu Yi also had it in his trouser pocket, and it was also full.

"Let's go, we'll be drinking water soon." Xu Yi grinned, and then wiped the dirt off Lu Ke's face.

"You have it too." Lu Ke giggled, then reached out to sweep the dirt off Xu Yi's face.

Then the two looked at each other and smiled, feeling better all of a sudden.

"Let's go, let's fetch water. After we have water, we can start camping." Xu Yi said happily. After all, fresh water resources are the most important for survival in the wild.

With water, even if there is no staple food and only some wild vegetable soup, it can last for more than ten days.

Of course, Xu Yi's goal was 500 days.

After knowing that he could find water, Lu Ke's pace quickened.

Xu Yi glanced at the time, it was 9:34, and it was very hopeful that the water source would be found before 10:[-].

This way, they have more time to find food and build shelter.

With a shelter and a source of food, there is no problem in surviving for a few years.

"Xu Yi, look quickly, a waterfall, it's a waterfall, we have water."

Lu Ke shouted excitedly, pointing to the waterfall in the distance.

A waterfall indeed, pouring down from a very high place.

However, it was a little different from what Xu Yi thought.

Here is a broken gorge that divides the two sides into two.

"Xu Yi, what should we do now, do we want to go to the opposite side?" Lu Ke also realized that something was wrong, and asked Xu Yi.

Right now, it's already 10:04. If we go to the opposite side, we probably won't have enough time in a day.

The bottom looks very steep, and it is estimated that you have to cross the sea.

Their position here is not high enough to see the whole picture clearly.

How to choose?
Xu Yi didn't know how to choose, it would not be a good thing to continue like this.

"First boil the salt, then fetch water. Save more water, and then we will climb to a high place to see the situation on the other side." Xu Yi made a decision, after all, there is still a chance to get water here.

Water mist flies up from the waterfall, and when the infusion fluid condenses, it drips down like rain.Therefore, fresh water can be collected here.

Of course, it would be a waste of time.The problem is, this is the only way they can collect fresh water if there is no other source of water.

"I'm going to dig an earthen stove, and you can use a pot to catch some rainwater." Xu Yi said, put the plastic bag in the pot on the ground, and handed the pot to Lu Ke.

Then I found an open space between the trees and dug it up.

His place is less than 2 meters away from Lu Ke's side. If something happens, he can go to Lu Ke's side immediately.

In the live broadcast room, everyone expressed sympathy for what happened to Xu Yi and Lu Ke.

"Hey, I thought the little loli was a koi, but I didn't expect it to be so bad luck."

"That's right, it's unlucky enough that they have encountered Duangu. So, they haven't encountered small animals, it should be because of Duangu's relationship?"

"What you said above makes sense."

"Xu Yi's decision is quite right. Now they need to replenish water. If they don't replenish water, their bodies will not be able to hold on."

"This mountain may not be completely broken. They still can't see the whole picture from this angle. I think Xu Yi will definitely go up in a while."

At this time, Xu Yi was digging the soil quickly with his military shovel, and in less than 10 minutes, Xu Yi pulled out a head-sized hole in the soil.

Then, the top was flattened, and a round hole was dug in the space.Then, he dug a small chimney with the crossbow bolts he had cut.

"Now it's time to make a simple bow for making fire." Xu Yi said to himself, and then pulled out his belt.

The military belt is a good thing, the belt head is made of alloy, and the belt is made of 2 layers of cowhide.

If the belt head is melted, it can be forged into a pocket knife, which is considered an extra tool.

In the wilderness where there is nothing, we must make the best use of everything, so that everything can play more functions.

This is also the idea of ​​the people who prepared these tools at the beginning, so the side of the engineer shovel is like a sharp sword, very sharp, and can cut most things.

Xu Yi clamped the engineer shovel between his legs and began to cut the belt.

Soon, Xu Yi had 6 extra tiny belts in his hand. This was already the limit of what he could divide, and it was impossible to make it any finer.

None of the thin belts were 1.5 meters long. Xu Yi took one out to make a fire bow, and tied the rest to his belt, and Xu Yi put the belt ends in his pocket.

A simple firebow was easy to make, and Xu Yi immediately made one out of a bent wooden stick.

However, this simple fire-making bow was only used by Xu Yi to transition and make Iroquois-style fire-making tools, and the Iroquois-style fire-making method was Xu Yi's ultimate goal.

The Iroquois-style fire-making tool required a brick shaft. One end of the drill shaft was wound with two ropes, and the other end of the rope was fixed on a hard horizontal board.A wooden wheel with a certain weight is used as an accelerator in the middle of the drill shaft.Turn the drill shaft first, and the rope will automatically wind up, and then press down on the horizontal plate. Due to the inertia, the rope will wind around the drill shaft in the opposite direction, and then repeatedly press the horizontal plate up and down.This method of starting a fire is very efficient and can be reused.

After all, in the wilderness, there is no flint and steel, and there is no fire book.

Therefore, some teams chose thousands of matches.

However, to make this Iroquois-style fire-making tool, a wooden wheel must first be produced.That's why Xu Yi first made a simple fire bow, which was to drill a hole in the wooden wheel, and see if he could get the fire by the way.

Xu Yi sawed a small tree as thick as an arm, then took a 2 cm thick wooden wheel, and began to drill a hole in the middle to make fire.

After drilling for more than ten minutes, smoke started to come out, so Xu Yi hurriedly put the dried moss on it.

Keep pulling the hand bow, the smoke is getting bigger and bigger.

In the live broadcast room, it also started to become lively.

Everyone was guessing whether Xu Yi could successfully get the fire out.

Know that wilderness survival fire is essential.It can not only keep warm and boil water, but also sometimes resist the attack of wild animals.
