Chapter 39 He is not the kind of stingy person

"I'm adjusting the bow." Su Meng raised her head, twisted her neck, and felt a numbness in her neck.

Du Jiayue nodded half-understood, and chattered to share what they had learned today with Su Meng.

"We picked a lot of wild vegetables, mushrooms, lichens, fungus, and found mint and wild ginger today! It's a pity that there is no meat, otherwise we can make a lot of delicacies, such as sliced ​​mushroom meat, fried pork with lichen, shredded pork with fungus..."

As she was talking, Du Jiayue couldn't hold back her saliva. She was not a person who liked meat before. For some reason, after she came to the wilderness, she always wanted to eat meat.

Su Meng continued to adjust the bow in his hand to make the bow arm bend more evenly, because if the bow arm is not bent evenly, if a certain point is bent more, it will gradually develop into a bending point, making the tension distribution uneven, which may causing the bow arm to break.

However, she kept moving her hands, but there was a slight smile on her face, and she said with a smile: "There is no sliced ​​mushroom meat, but you can consider stewing chicken with mushrooms."

"Ah?" Du Jiayue was dumbfounded, little...Chicken stewed mushrooms?

Mushrooms are there, but what about chicken?
"I killed three rabbits and two pheasants, and two of the rabbits and one pheasant are still alive and can be raised as food reserves."

Hearing this, even Su Xiang, who had great confidence in her, was shocked by these words.

He knew that his sister was very strong, but he didn't expect it to be this strong.

"Chickens must be domesticated before they can be raised?" Although Zhang Lin has never raised chickens and ducks, he still knows some common sense of life.

"Just use vines to make two big cages and lock them up. By the way, we have to build a simple rain shelter. Then put the rabbits, pheasants and firewood in it, otherwise the firewood will take up space in the house." After Su Meng adjusted the bow, she began to make arrow shafts.

The arrow shaft Su Meng chose is a small branch with a diameter of 6 to 8 mm and a length of about 60 cm. After scraping off the bark, a groove deep enough to hold the bowstring is carved at the end of the branch.

The arrow feathers are feathers plucked directly from the dead pheasant.

The treated feathers are glued to the arrow shaft with resin, and then tied up with bark torn into thin strips. Finally, the head of the arrow shaft is carbonized with fire, sharpened on a stone, and finally the edge of the arrow feather is trimmed with charcoal. A whole arrow is finished.

It took Su Meng two hours to make five arrows. In order to hold these arrow feathers, she made a quiver out of bark.

After the production was completed, she couldn't wait to test shoot it, wanting to see how lethal and accurate it was.

In order not to hurt the arrow, she also deliberately chose a dead wood as a target.

After trying two arrows, Su Meng expressed her satisfaction. She estimated that the bow should have a pulling force of 35 pounds, or about 15 kilograms. Although it can't deal with bears and wild boars, it can be used to shoot wolves, deer, rabbits, pheasants, Small and medium-sized animals such as sheep and young wild boars are still no problem.

"I left a few sets on the grass over there. I'll go there tomorrow morning to see if there are any harvests. By the way, there are wolves over there. Be careful when you go." Su Meng put away the arrows and carefully pulled the bowstring I unloaded it, and told some precautions about what to do after encountering wolves.

"Wolf?!" Su Xiang and Du Jiayue were also dumbfounded.

This is too difficult, right?There were bears before and wolves after...

Su Meng looked at the four people who were in a state of desperation, and twitched the corner of her mouth, revealing her aunt's smile and comforting: "Don't be afraid, did I forget to tell you that there are probably jackals there?"

Su Xiang rolled his eyes angrily, and the joy of today's harvest has faded a lot.

But he still began to take the initiative to report what he and Du Jiayue had harvested today: "Jiayue and I collected about ten catties of mushrooms and fungus, and then some herbs and wild vegetables."

"I once saw a recipe for repelling insects. It is very simple to make. The main ingredient is wormwood. I just found these herbs in the herbal medicine I found today, so I want to try to make some later, otherwise the mosquitoes are too annoying. "

This rhetoric was naturally used to fool the three teammates Zhang Lin, Bai Jing, and Du Jiayue.

While Su Xiang was talking, he stretched out his hand and slapped to death a mosquito that was lying on his shoulder sucking blood.

The three men were all shirtless, without the protection of clothes, even if Su Meng did some simple mosquito repellent methods, they still suffered from mosquito bites.

Especially in the wild, there are still those big flower mosquitoes, and the bites are itchy and painful.

"Okay, then you can concentrate on making insect repellent powder, and tell me what you need." Su Meng looked up at the sky, and estimated the approximate time in her mind.

At this time the sun was hanging high at the top, and Qiu Chan was screaming desperately, making people a little upset.

"It seems that I have time to make a corona, otherwise I don't know what time it is, so it's not easy to arrange things." Su Meng murmured thoughtfully, and estimated that it should be noon, which is around twelve o'clock. .

it's time for lunch.

But now the food reserves are not very sufficient and need to be saved.

Then just eat something to replenish your strength, after all, there is heavy work waiting for everyone in the afternoon.

Because in the wild, whether it is the smell of fish or the smell of blood from handling hares and pheasants, it is very easy to attract beasts, especially bears.

You know, bears are considered to have the most sensitive sense of smell among all animals on earth. Its sense of smell is 2100 times that of humans, and it can detect animal carcasses about 30 kilometers away.

Therefore, they must process fresh food as soon as possible and build a fence. It is best to dig a circle of traps inside and outside the fence, so that they can barely resist the beasts that smell it.

Even if they can't completely resist it, it can give them a little more time to react, so that they won't sleep soundly in the middle of the night, and make eye-to-eye with Xiong Xiazi as soon as they turn over.

"Let's eat snake meat for lunch today. I caught another snake." Su Meng withdrew her thoughts, and after thinking about what to eat for lunch for a long time, she suddenly thought of the golden snake whose head had been beheaded by her.

Dead animals should be eaten as soon as possible, otherwise, in this sweltering jungle, they will soon decay and be full of parasites.

It is shameful to waste food.

Therefore, pheasant and rabbit can be salted first and eaten at night.

After a hard day's work, you must reward yourself at night. This is probably called having fun while suffering.

"Then what about our fish?" Zhang Lin looked at the fish with a bamboo pole and sighed with a sad face.

I don't know what happened today. Not long after they arrived at the beach, yesterday's bottlenose dolphins came again.

Not only did they come, but a large wave of fish drove them away.

Fat sea fishes were struggling and jumping in the shallows, and they collected these sea fishes almost effortlessly. He counted them, and he picked up a total of fifty fishes just by picking up fish!

Of course, he is not the kind of stingy person. In order to thank the dolphins for their efforts, he threw several fish to the dolphins.

In addition, the fish basket that Su Meng put there was not only not washed away by the sea, but caught a starfish and three sea fish.
