Challenge the wilderness to survive
Chapter 46: A Good Father
The current is not very turbulent, after Xu Yi stood still, he saw fish swimming in the river.
Their color is similar to that of the pebbles on the bottom of the river, so they are not easy to spot.
Then, he turned on X-ray vision and wanted to see if he could use this function in water.
Then, Xu Yi found that when he looked at the water, there was only a vast expanse of whiteness.
So he dived into the water.
Then, it's different.
"There are a lot of fish, and not small!"
"Besides, shrimp and crabs have made a fortune!"
Xu Yi did not expect that the resources in this river are quite rich.
As long as you weave a fishing cage yourself, you can catch fish, shrimps and crabs.
Finding the water source is really so happy.
There is not only water to drink, bath to wash, but also fishing to eat.
It is unrealistic to catch fish in the water.
Therefore, Xu Yi did not do this.
Anyway, they can't escape.
Using the right tools is the right way.
He picked up two pebbles, stood up from the water, and put the pebbles in the bucket.
Xu Yi picked up more than 20 pebbles before he stopped.
The vines are still very strong, and only after Xu Yi climbed up did he pull the bucket back to the shore.
"Go, let's go back and cook snake meat."
Su Keke handed the clothes to Xu Yi, and then suddenly asked:
"Dad, do you smell any fragrance?"
"Scent, what scent?"
Xu Yi stopped and sniffed vigorously.
"It's like the smell of oranges."
Su Keke added, his nose moved slightly, trying to find the source of the fragrance.
Xu Yi picked up some thatch-like leaves on the ground, and then smelled it.
"Haha, it's lemongrass, with a hint of lemon flavor."
"Baby, you are great. With citronella, we don't have to be afraid of mosquitoes."
Where there is a water source, mosquitoes are definitely indispensable.
It will be better during the day, and the mosquitoes are not dispatched.
At night, it was terrible.
However, with citronella, you can disperse mosquitoes and even other insects.
Xu Yi squatted down and looked for it.
There are indeed some lemongrass growing, but not many.
Because the height of lemongrass is limited, other weeds are blocking the upper space and it is difficult to find.
Fortunately, their vitality is very strong, and they can survive this situation.
They are clusters of plants, so what Xu Yi found was a cluster.
Xu Yi directly cut this bunch of lemongrass from the root, put it in a bucket and took it back.
It's getting dark, so I have to go back to light a fire as soon as possible, and then pick up some dead wood to come back, so that I can have enough campfire to protect my Su Keke at night.
There are beasts in this jungle, and they are likely to follow the smell to find the door.
Therefore, there must be three or four bonfires at night to ensure their safety.
Therefore, after returning to the camp, Xu Yi left the matter of making the fire to Su Keke.
He went straight to pick up dead wood, and before it got dark, the more he collected, the better.
After all, they are preparing to establish a long-term camp here.
Therefore, a large amount of wood will be consumed in the future.
It is not difficult for Su Keke to make a fire.
She took out her wooden bowl from her carrying basket, because the wooden bowl contained frondrum.
There are some very dry and combustible dead grass in the back basket.
Then, she pulled some leaves with the branches and piled them into a ball.
Xu Yi explained the reason for using branches instead of hands.
Because of your hands, you may be bitten by scorpions, poisonous insects, poisonous ants, or even poisonous snakes.
After it was set, Su Keke began to blow the frondrum.
Soon, she ignited the withered grass.
Putting it in the pile of leaves, she took out the straw and continued to blow the fire.
In this way, the air circulation speed in the flame area can be accelerated, and the combustion can be more complete.
The flame burned quickly, and Su Keco added some thin dry branches, and then gradually increased some thicker branches.
Tonight, Xu Yi was not ready to eat roasted cassava.
So after Su Coco heated the fire, he added pebbles to the fire.
Then, Su Ke can use the branches to pass through the sleeves of Xu Yi's clothes and prepare to dry it.
Within ten minutes, Xu Yi brought back a large bundle of dead wood.
Then, he led the barrel to fetch water.
Although there was a lot of water in the snakeskin bag, it had a fishy smell, so Xu Yi felt that he could boil the river water to drink it.
After he returned from the water, Xu Yi went on to collect firewood again.
When I returned with the second bundle of fire, there was no way to walk in the jungle.
However, their firewood is enough.
Sitting in front of the fire, Xu Yi treated the lemongrass.
The leaves will be used to smash them for a while and rub them on themselves to repel mosquitoes.
Now, there are already a lot of mosquitoes.
If it weren't for a campfire, there would be more.
Maybe it's closer to the river bank, so it's a lot cooler at night.
Xu Yi cut a few lemongrass stalks, then rinsed them with river water and put them in a bowl.
Then, he chopped the snake into pieces and put them on the leaves that Xu Yi picked back.
"Dad, your clothes are dried."
"Well, then you can go take a shower." Xu Yi took the clothes and put them on his shoulders.
Then he took the machete and the branches, and put the pebbles in the bucket.
After putting it all in, the water became warm.
"Let's go, you go take a bath. After so many days, I've wronged you."
Before, there were no conditions and no way to take a bath.
Now that the river has been found, it is natural to let Su Keke take a bath.
[Wow, No. 1 is so warm. It turns out that he had long wanted to let Coco take a bath. No wonder he washed his clothes. It turned out to be for Coco.
[Yes, I am a good dad, I will follow you in the future.Number 1, come on!
[Moved, No.1 is indeed a competent father.Hope, my child will have a father like this in the future.
Xu Yi carried the bucket behind a tree. After all, Su Keke was 6 years old and should have a gender concept.
Xu Yi is her father, and it is still a bit inconvenient.
"You first scoop some water, wash your clothes, and then wipe your body with it."
"There is not a lot of water, but it should be enough to clean the body."
With that said, Xu Yi pierced the spear diagonally into the ground, then supported it with a branch, and put his clothes on it.
When Xu Yi left, Su Keke cleaned up happily.
It is indeed very uncomfortable not to take a bath for 7 days.
However, she has always endured without showing it.
Not only can it be washed, but also hot water algae.
Dad, it's really amazing.
Without a pot, you can use stones to boil so much hot water.
"Well, snake meat cooked with stones must be delicious."
Thinking of the snake broth at night, Su Keco couldn't help speeding up a bit.
After all, Xu Yi had to use the pebbles in the bucket to cook snake meat.
