Building a Shelter
In the forest, after climbing over a few large trees, a small stream appeared in front of them. The clear stream flowed on the path filled with gravel, emitting waves of pleasant sounds.
"Brother, we found water!" Chu Yue waved her fists in excitement. She was smiling so widely that she was about to explode.
Suddenly, a dark shadow seemed to be frightened by the sound and disappeared with a whoosh.
"Brother, did you see that? It looked like a fish just now!" Chu Yue's eyes widened as she pulled Chu Ming's arm.
"That's right, it's a fish. This means that this water can be drunk!”Chu Ming nodded.
"It's a pity that we didn't choose a fishing net or a fishing rod. Otherwise, we could still catch fish to eat.”Chu Yue pouted regretfully.
"You can weave your own fishing net. There will be more in the future!”
Although the stream water was very clear, the two of them could not drink it directly. Anyone with a little common sense knew that there were parasites in the water in the wild. If they drank it directly, they would easily get sick.
The most important thing now was to start a fire and boil water.
They swam along the river for a while and finally found a flat place. It seemed that some exploration team had stopped here, and there were some traces on the flat ground.
Chu Ming's eyes lit up. He saw a glass bottle that looked like a bottle of vodka.
"Chu Yue, we're so lucky!" Chu Ming smiled and picked up the glass bottle.
"Hmm? Was this bottle filled with water? We don't have a kettle!"
"Wrong, we need to use him to start a fire.”Shaking his head, Chu Ming took out his hunting knife.
"Start a fire? Use a bottle?"
"That's right."
Looking at the confused Chu Yue, Chu Ming said patiently,""Look at the bottom of this bottle. Doesn't it look like a spotlight?”
"Let's knock him down and use the sunlight to light a fire. This way, it will save a lot of energy compared to drilling wood.”
"I'll leave the important task of knocking it down to you!”
Chu Ming said as he handed the hunting knife and bottle to Chu Yue.
"I promise to complete the mission!" Chu Yue imitated the way she saluted on TV and took it with a smile.
Looking around, Chu Ming looked for grass and branches to use as fuel. There were many of these things in the jungle, and he found a pile in a short while. It was enough to burn for a long time.
Ding, ding, ding…
The crisp sound of glass breaking rang out continuously. In order to prevent the glass bottle from shattering, Chu Yue knocked on it very seriously every time.
It was close to noon. An hour later, with a crisp sound, the bottom of the glass bottle was knocked off. Chu Yue's small face was covered in sweat, but it was small and bright.
On the other side, Chu Ming was using an engineer shovel to cut branches. When he saw that he was done, he put down his work and rushed over.
He moved two large rocks and placed them on a tree branch. Chu Ming placed the lens on the tree branch and adjusted the angle, allowing the sunlight to shine on the grass.
"Brother, is this enough?" Chu Yue looked at Chu Ming's operation and asked like a curious baby.
"Okay, just keep staring. It might take twenty to thirty minutes, or it might take an hour or two for the effect to appear. In short, call me if you see smoke coming from the grass!”Chu Ming reminded him, then picked up the shovel and began to cut the branches.
The temperature in the forest gradually rose. Chu Yue, who was wearing a jacket, kept wiping the sweat off her face. Chu Ming, who was beside her, saw it and said,""If it's hot, take off your coat. As long as you don't walk, you don't have to wear a coat.”
"Okay, bro!" Chu Yue nodded and took off her coat, leaving behind a singlet.
When she saw the drone floating in the air filming, she subconsciously covered her face.
Even though she was only seventeen years old, Chu Yue's growth was already very good. If she wore a singlet, her figure would be easily revealed. However, she was still a little girl at heart, and she always felt that it would be very embarrassing to show her figure like this.
She turned around and saw Chu Ming working hard.
A few well-cut branches were placed in a row, and some slender leaves were also torn off by Chu Ming.
"Brother, what are you doing?" said Chu Yue.
"I'm going to build a tent for the night!”Chu Ming said as he wiped his sweat.
The Amazon was the place with the most rainfall in the world. It might rain at any time, so it was necessary to build a temporary shelter.
If he fell sick because of the rain, he would have no choice but to quit since there was no medicine in the wilderness!
Chu Yue, who was standing at the side, seemed to understand.""Brother, how are you going to build it? Is this branch used as a shelf?"
"That's right, you'll know later!”
The long and thin leaves intertwined and eventually formed a rope. In the wilderness, these were natural ropes. They were strong enough to last for months, enough for them to build a real shelter.
Three branches of the same size were placed in a triangle on the ground. Chu Ming tied them together with a rope.
Then, he took out three branches of the same length and tied them into the same triangle shape as before.
"Chu Yue, come over and help me hold it." Chu Ming shouted, and Chu Yue ran over excitedly to do as he said.
Soon, two triangular tents were erected. Chu Ming connected the top with a branch and then secured it with a rope. The size of the small tent was beginning to take shape.
Suddenly, Chu Yue shouted," Brother! Brother! Look at the grass!"”
