Chapter 44 The Raft(1/2)

A stone ax took one hour to complete.

Fang Yu found a suitable tree and tried it on the spot, and the result was satisfactory.

Considering that the raft should not be too heavy, otherwise it would be difficult for Fang Yu to control the sliding direction of the raft in the river.

Therefore, the wood Fang Yu looked for was about ten centimeters in diameter.

However, Fang Yu was worried when transporting it.

These logs were filled with water, causing their weight to increase significantly. If several logs were stacked together, the weight would be a bit uncomfortable even for Fang Yu.

Finally, Fang Yu found a vine nearby, cut a tooth mark on the tree, tied it with the vine, dragged several vines on it, and dragged it along the ground.

Sure enough, this saves effort and is much more convenient.

Next, it's all hard work.

Find trees of suitable size in the forest, cut them down, trim them briefly, and then drag them down the hillside with vines.

While cutting down trees, Fang Yu was not just cutting down trees.

When he was wandering in the mountains and forests, he was actually "playing in the wild".

Ever since being inspired by the insects in the cave, Fang Yu knew that there were more than just plants and animals in the mountain forest.

These insects are also excellent food.

In fact, when Fang Yu dug up earthworms for the first time, he could have reacted if he had been given a little more time. But unfortunately, at that time, they were captured by Bishop Ling and put into the dungeon.

Her train of thought was interrupted, and Fang Yu never continued to think about this aspect.

It wasn't until this time that he really thought about this direction, and the subsequent ideas suddenly became clear.

Along the way, whenever Fang Yu saw trees that had fallen to the ground, he would step forward and observe them. If he found the rotten spots and wormholes, he would cut them open with a stone axe.

Sure enough, after being cut open like this, it was revealed that there were borers hiding in these rotten wood.

These borers are beetles or other wood-eating borers.

These larvae have extremely high protein content and are an extremely high-quality source of protein.

However, there are actually relatively few such rotten trees, and even if they are found, it is quite laborious to dig out these larvae.

After all, you have to be careful when using the axe. If you use too much force, the larvae will explode. Fang Yu carefully dug out a few trees and found only three larvae, one big and two small.

The big one is round, as thick as a thumb, and seven or eight centimeters long, while the small one is only the size of a little finger.

But if you only dig out these larvae, it will obviously end up losing more than you gain.

After all, this is also very dependent on luck.

Therefore, Fang Yu just took a look when he saw it again. The main "field hunting" objects were some caves in the mountain forest or crevices in the rocks.

In these caves or mountain rock crevices, the insects that have been hiding in the caves to take shelter from the rain during this period have suffered a disaster.

Fang Yu found a total of two small caves with a height of half a person and three rock crevices.

Fang Yu would first tentatively attack each cave and rock peak with a wooden stick or stone.

The so-called alerting the snake.

Sure enough, there are actually snakes living in these two caves and three rock crevices!

But think about it, there are so many snakes in this mountain forest. Although most of them have moved away from the mountain forest, there are still a small number left. This small number is quite large, but there are not many caves and rock crevices.

.

And most snakes have certain underwater skills.

You can basically survive in the water for about half an hour, and you have certain swimming skills.

Therefore, such heavy rain days actually have little impact on them except for their body temperature.

In fact, these snakes hiding in caves and rock crevices live a very nourishing life.

Because there is a steady stream of insects that will burrow into the cave or rock crevice, so as long as they stay in the cave, food will be delivered to their door.

When the temperature happens to be low, they will directly enter hibernation state, so that they consume less.

Therefore, all the five snakes that were frightened out were full of food, and there was no sign of hunger at all.

Among these five snakes, except for one that escaped by chance, the other four became the souls of Fang Yu's stick.

After activating the perseverance skill and relying on the warrior's keen reflexes, these snakes were basically beaten to death by Fang Yu with a wooden stick.

But this is limited to Fang Yu.

If it were Fang Sanduo and the others, they would probably be lying on their backs by now.

Among the four snakes, three are old friends, a pit viper, a cauliflower snake, and a bamboo leaf green. The fourth one is a new species, but it is also famous.

Bungarus snake.

Speaking of this guy, everyone in the South probably has some impression of him.

In rural areas in the south, you have probably seen this guy, and it is one of the most common venomous snakes in the countryside.

The bungara snake is black and white all over, with long black limbs and short white limbs. The white one looks like a ring.

And why is it called Silver Ring?

That's because during the day, under the sunlight, the white scales will appear silvery, so it is called the Bungara snake.

It is also one of the most venomous snakes in Asia.

Even if Fang Yu is accidentally bitten by it and does not deal with it in time, it will not last long before the banquet is over.

Therefore, after cutting grass and frightening the Bungarus snake, Fang Yu stopped.

I often walk by the river without getting my shoes wet.

He is not a professional snake catcher. If he is accidentally bitten by a venomous snake, he will send it directly.

Anyway, these four snakes, which add up to ten kilograms of meat, are enough for them to eat for two days.

After beating the snakes, Fang Yu chopped off the heads of all the snakes and buried them deeply. Then he brought the bodies back to the cave. To avoid scaring Huang Mei, he specially surrounded them with firewood sticks.

Then we headed back to pull the chopped trees to the river at the foot of the mountain.

After all the trees have been pulled to the river, the main structure of the raft has been completed. The next step is to wait for the number of rattans to be sufficient and then assemble it.

At this time, the whole morning has passed, and the little broth from the morning has long been digested. Considering that the rest of the day will be physical work, Fang Yu went back to the cave first, and made some broth for lunch for the three of them to recover.

Let’s talk about it after working hard.

After returning to the cave, Fang Yu saw a large group of rattan piled outside the cave, but Fang Sanduo and the other two were not there.

He didn't pay much attention, since the two of them would come back sooner or later.

So, he dealt with these four snakes first.

Pick out the fattest cauliflower snake among them.

Among these snakes, this one is the fattest, and the other venomous snakes are not very big.

When it was pulled out, the snake's body was still twisting.

Cut the snake skin open with invisible Gangqi.

Since Fang Sanduo and the two were away, he could use some tricks.

When there is no knife, the effect of invisible Gangqi is very obvious.

Cut open the snake skin and take out the internal organs, such as snake gallbladder and so on. Without any treatment, they are all parasites and microbial aggregates.

Fang Yu had no regrets about throwing the internal organs into the fire.

Whether it's a meal or a meal, Fang Yu and the other three can still carry it clearly.

Still the same, first roast the whole snake body on the fire.

After roasting, use a clean fire-roasted stone ax to cut into pieces on the stone platform.

Put the pot into the pot, add the rainwater, then set it up and continue to stew.

Because the snake meat is roasted, when the rainwater is added, there are already oily flowers inside, making it look particularly attractive.

When the snake soup began to boil, Fang Yu heard movement outside the cave. When she went out to see it, it turned out that Fang Sanduo and his two men had returned with rattan sticks tied around their bodies.

"Uncle, aunt, we have enough canes. I went out to kill a few snakes. I can drink snake soup again today!"

After hearing Fang Yu's words, Fang Sanduo exaggeratedly shook the cane to the ground and said happily.

"Can we drink snake soup again? Finally we don't have to chew earthworms. I had a mouthful of mud in the morning. Come on, Amei, let's go wash up and start eating!"

Fang Sanduo happily took Huang Mei to find a puddle to wash his hands and face.

Seeing that the two were about to leave, Fang Yu quickly stopped them and said.

"Uncle, go straight up in this direction. There is a pool on top. Now that the rain has stopped, you can take a good wash. It's just that the mountain water is cold. Don't go down. Just wipe it with your clothes."

Fang Yu pointed them in the direction.

He had discovered this pool before, but it just kept raining, so he never went there.
