Volume 3 Chapter 25

"Hungry, hungry!"

Meng Bai got up in a haystack beside a big dark stone, and he was awakened by the hard hunger.

After two days of trekking, the students of their departments and Zhige department finally reached banxuecangyuan together.

After arriving at this half of xuecangyuan, Meng Bai finally understood what Lin Xi meant when Lin Xi said that they would rarely meet each other when they took such courses in Zhige department.

This half snow Cangyuan is like a half arc harbor. According to the lecturers of the college, the area between the main vein of the mountain on the northwest side and the main vein of the mountain near their side belongs to the half snow Cangyuan, in which they can freely move. However, they are so far away from the main vein of dengtian mountain in the northwest that the lofty and extreme main vein is only a faint black line between heaven and earth.

This vast expanse is half above the snow line, covered with snow and various coniferous forests, half below the snow line, full of various permafrost meadows, rugged valleys, and forests beyond sight.

If he didn't come here with Lin Xi this time, I'm afraid he just arrived here yesterday. He would cry directly when he saw this scene of barren mountains and rivers, desolate wasteland and permafrost with few people.

This campsite is chosen by Lin Xi for them. It is far away from the snow line. There is a pine forest in the northwest, which blocks the mountain wind from there. There is another stream nearby. Although it has been explored yesterday, there are almost no small fish in it, at least there is no problem of drinking water. The dry dead grass and moss cover can better maintain the body temperature when sleeping at night. Moreover, under the guidance of Lin Xi, Meng Bai and others buried some red charcoal and stones in the soil below before lying down, which made the ground under them in the first half of the night always warm.

But even Lin Xi, who is already very experienced, can give him a lot of guidance in these aspects. According to the rules of the college, any food is to be collected or hunted by himself. Heart is also timid Meng Bai naturally dare not challenge the authority of College lecturers and cheat.

Meng Bai, who was awakened by hunger, looked around and found that the sky was already bright, and that the place where Lin Xi and others had been lying was empty. Obviously, he had started to look for something nearby.

It's five hours since mengbai last ate. His last harvest was not small. He found a two palm sized tortoise in a grass, which was a good meal. However, he didn't eat anything decent on the road in the last two days, mostly to satisfy hunger with a variety of larvae and grass roots, plus repair The food intake of the traveler is very large. I'm afraid that this size of tortoise is one tenth of the usual food intake. When he woke up from hunger, Meng Bai felt the abnormality of his body. He felt that his body was a little cold, and he was shaking, a kind of inexplicable panic.

Moby knew that this was a sign that his physical strength was beginning to fail under extreme hunger.

Hungry! It's so hungry! The colic and thunder like sound in his stomach reminded mengbai to eat all the time. He even wanted to pull up some wild flowers and weeds nearby and put them into his mouth. But the remaining reason in his mind also told him that if he ate these things, he was afraid that he would directly pull half dead and suffer more.

His eyes rested on the two tortoise shells beside the campfire which he had smashed open.

The meat on these two tortoise shells has been eaten up by him for a long time. Only some hard skin remains on the two tortoise shells. However, after swallowing hard saliva, mengbai still put these hard skin and two tortoise shells on the red fire . then he tore his teeth, cut them with stone pieces, covered them with white, and burnt them to black, and swallowed all the hard skin that could not be chewed like the old cow hide.

With something in his stomach, he felt a little better. Then, with a spear cut from hardwood, Meng Bai went to a wetland downstream of the nearby stream. According to Lin Xi's statement yesterday, there are likely traces of birds in that area.

……

Gao Yanan quietly fell down and carefully observed that there was no water around, but in fact, it was the living dead white Kobresia.

Generally speaking, there are many edible things in the plain and mountain forest under the snow line, but this semi snow Cangyuan is obviously the place specially selected by the lecturers of the college. Most of the places where the water flows are just the riprap and frozen soil zone. Moreover, the rest of the mountain should be full of vegetation, water and grass, and the climate is warm, so it is necessary to repair the hunting For travelers, this area is a little too poor.

From the black solid scattered among several withered white Kobresia plants, it is easy for Gao Yanan to judge that this is the feces of some large insects. Along some gnawing traces, Gao Yanan quickly found several white fertilizer insects that are two or three times the size of his thumb.

"It's disgusting."

Looking at these white fat insects, Gao Yanan's good-looking eyebrows were wrinkled, and he said a word to himself, but he rubbed his shriveled stomach. The tall girl still strung these fat insects together with a straw, and was ready to bake them later.

……

Lin Xi is sitting in a small forest. In front of him are some low hills, full of all kinds of weeds, and some yellow chrysanthemums.

His last "big meal" was in the middle of the night last night. Using the light of several firewood, he caught more than a dozen small fish smaller than his little finger in a puddle. These are far less than the loss of his physical strength, so before one hour, he had the feeling that his body was shaking inexplicably and his limbs were empty.

But now, instead of looking for food everywhere, he is patiently cutting several hard and fine wattle trees that have been straightened by fire baking with sharpened stones.

Beside him, there was already a simple long bow made of hardwood and some tough rattan.

A simple arrow has appeared after cutting the front part of a fine wattle and dividing the feather of an unknown wild goose into two parts, and then inserting it into the groove carved by him at the end of the fine wattle, and passing it through with a small plant fiber, binding it and fixing it.

Lin Xi picked up the arrow skillfully, opened the bow, and shot it out towards the mud not far ahead.

"Whoosh" of a light ring, this arrow inserted into the mud, into the depth of about two knuckles.

Lin Xi's face showed a satisfied look, picked up the arrow, wiped off the soil on the arrow, put it on the ground that he could easily touch, and began to make the next arrow.

If someone can see his every move at the moment, he will find that the head of these arrows he has made just has a knot, which makes the arrow part after cutting, without adding other weights, a little heavier than the rest of the arrow, flying in the air will be more stable, and the arrow material will be closer, not easy to break.

The college's experience of surviving in the wild is not allowed to carry any weapons, but it is not limited to its own materials and weapons. The reason why Lin Xi had to endure the impact of hunger and patiently self-made bows and arrows when his physical strength was overdrawn was that he had found the excrement of rabbits in the area outside.

Hare, badger, Fox and dog are the best sources of food in this kind of wasteland without large herbivores.

According to his experience, some big hares are even over 15-6 Jin. If he can hunt such a hare, he can really have a meal and have more energy to collect or hunt other food.

Lin Xi prepared a total of six arrows, but when he was about to finish the fourth arrow, his body suddenly snapped.

Just in front of him on a gentle slope, there was a moving gray.

It was a gray rabbit, very fat, at least over 16 or 7 Jin, perfect for Lin Xi.

But after a fierce meal, his breathing became more gentle and gentle. He still did not make a sound, and continued to finish the tail feather of the arrow on his hand.

The special training of the Windrunner made Lin Xi understand that the more critical the moment is, the more patient it is to wait for the most appropriate opportunity.

……

Qin Xiyue walked slowly towards a low hill ahead.

She was lucky enough to find two egg sized wild bird eggs and an edible tuber in the early morning, but it still could not get rid of her hunger completely.

In the past two days, her stunning jade face is also full of haggard look, just like the fine jade dust.

According to the opinions of many dignitaries and real gold spoon of Yun Qin, the jade like her should not suffer from this kind of suffering, but should be placed in the boudoir and hurt in the palm of her hand. But Qin Xiyue doesn't think so. She doesn't want to make a useless vase, or even become a man's accessory or plaything.

So she would rather suffer hardship, so she would become a strong one, so she looked down upon those who would not suffer hardship, ignorant, and have no ambition.

All of a sudden, Qin Xiyue, who was going to see the scene in front of him, was still breathing when he was tight.

She saw a moving gray A fat hare!

Almost at the same time when she saw the hare, the grey hare, which had been chewing on the grass, also stood up and found her existence.

Without any hesitation, the hare immediately ran towards the forest on one side!

Qin Xiyue's heart was suddenly occupied by great disappointment. She had subconsciously wanted to run after her, but her sense and judgment told her that because the hare was close to the forest, even if she did her best to drive, the hare would be able to completely disappear in the forest within a dozen breathing hours.

However, at this time, what made her body pause again was a "whoosh" sound. There was a slight wind in the air. A feather arrow shot out of the forest, accurately shooting at the running hare.

This simple arrow is obviously not powerful enough to penetrate the gray hare, but the second arrow flew out without stopping and landed on the hare running with the arrow, but the speed has obviously slowed down
