Chapter five hundred and fiftieth chapters brave savage valley
I once met Tao Yuanming when I was old, and I saw the difference in my dream. I felt resentful, stopped drinking wine, and couldn't control it. I stopped singing when I wanted to sing. I have white hair in the west wind, and I bowed five buckets. I shouldn't be like this. I asked about lying high by the north window, and I was drunk on the east fence.
, there should be a special intention to return.
It must be believed that this old man is not dead, and he is still alive and awe-inspiring. Our thoughts have always existed in the past and present, in the mountains and rivers. Wealth and honor will not be avoided in his years, but it should be tasteless. What happened in Dongshan? At that time, it was also said that it was for the sake of the common people.

…
After walking for about half an hour, Lynx had already observed everyone's state after entering the forest and adjusted the team in time.
Lynx'er said: "Lone Wolf, you don't have to worry about Xiao Bailong, just take care of the scholar. You two follow closely behind me.
Xiao Bailong, you are responsible for taking care of the camel, and you two will switch between Hawkeye and Hammer Ban."
Everyone was quite surprised by this adjustment. In the eyes of everyone, Bai Fu, a noble man with fine clothes and good food, should be in the same rank as a scholar. Before entering the forest, Lynx'er and Eagle Eye suggested that Bai Fu should be left behind.
, it was Zhui Ban who persuaded everyone and brought Bai Fu with him.
Lone Wolf seemed to have predicted that he would make such an adjustment. Without any hesitation, he changed his position and protected the scholar behind him.
This change of position was very timely.
Not long after walking, a black viper scurried down from the treetops silently and pounced on the scholar's neck.
The scholar was unaware of it. He only felt a cool breeze behind his head. When he looked back, he saw that the lone wolf scimitar had been sheathed. A viper had been chopped into two pieces.
The scholar hurriedly saluted and thanked him, but Lone Wolf remained expressionless and simply returned the salute.
Seeing this, the hammer class happily took out the boning knife, picked out a green snake gallbladder from the belly of the adder, soaked it in medicinal wine for a while, handed it to the scholar, and said: "This is a black-browed adder, extremely poisonous. Just
Swallow the snake gallbladder with wine, and from now on in the jungle, ordinary snakes will not dare to provoke you."
The Savage Valley became deeper and deeper as we walked, and the huge trees blocked the sky, making it impossible to see the sun. The lynx seemed to have a compass in its head, searching for the path without any ambiguity.
Camel is a top player in the desert and Gobi, but when he got to the jungle, he became confused after turning around for three or two times. Camel looked around and muttered: "The scenery nearby is almost the same, and I can't see the sun. How the hell can I tell the difference between east, west, north and south?"
"
Zhuiban pointed at the dense vegetation in the jungle and said with a smile: "Vegetation generally tends to grow toward the sun. The moss on the tree trunks will be greener on the side facing the sun. On the contrary, the moss on the corresponding side may appear yellow or brown.
Trees usually have lush branches and leaves in the south and smoother bark; the branches and leaves in the north are sparse, the bark is rough, and sometimes moss grows. If it is in a mountainous area, it is usually on a shady slope (northern slope), where low ferns and vines grow more prosperously."
After that, Hammer Ban asked Luo Tuoer to chop down a big tree as thick as a bucket with a sharp ax. He pointed at the cross section of the tree stump and said: "The growth rings on the tree stump have smaller intervals in the north and larger intervals in the south."
Luotuo'er suddenly realized it and said, "Bailong, do you know what Chui Ban said?"
Bai Fu smiled and said: "I grew up in the mountains, so I know a little bit about it.
To identify the north and south directions, in addition to looking at vegetation, you can find a striking rock for comparison in places with many rocks in the wild.
The bottom of the north side of the rock is moist and may grow low mosses, while the south side is usually dry and bare. In winter, the snow in the south of the rock melts faster, while the snow in the north melts more slowly.
In addition, you can also observe animals. Many animals are extremely sensitive to direction. For example, wild geese fly south in autumn and north in spring; scorpions usually open their holes to the north; ants usually open their holes to the south..."
When Luo Tuoer heard this, he happened to see an ant's nest the size of a grave mound three feet away. He smiled innocently and said with a loud voice: "I'm going to take a look to see if the little white dragon lied to me. Is the entrance of the ant's hole facing south?"
."
Taking one step forward, he was already more than ten feet away, deviating from the route set by the lynx.
Camel'er was about to take the second step when he felt a strong force behind him pulling him back. Camel'er took three steps back before he stabilized his center of gravity and returned to Bai Fu and Tie Hammer.
Luotuo'er complained: "Xiao Bailong, you are so strong. But even if you are wrong, it doesn't matter. I just want to see it."
Tie Zhui said angrily: "Silly Camel, did you know that Xiao Bailong just saved you?"
Luotuo'er scratched his head and said, "Really?"
Bai Fu pointed at a dirt bag that looked like cow dung on the ground and said, "You almost stepped on it in the second step. This is not a dirt bag, but a honeycomb of a wasp. The wasp is one of the five killer bees and can sting to death.
Cattle and sheep, even a blind bear dare not provoke them.
If you step on their nest, I guarantee that you will be stung by a wasp and lose half your life."
Only then did the camel realize that there were several huge wasps flying around the soil bag, making a buzzing sound. The camel stuck out his tongue and said, "I thought wasps only built nests in trees, but I almost broke the nest. The jungle is too
It’s scary, but the desert is more friendly.”
…
The lynx was indeed prudent. There was still an hour before dark, so they stopped moving and arranged for everyone to set up camp.
Lynx is very cautious when choosing a campsite, which should be close to the water source, but not too close.
If the tent is set up too close to the water source, it will be easily harassed by poisonous insects, and the sound of the water flow will interfere with the alert, making it impossible for the night scouts to detect the danger in time.
What's even more dangerous is that if there is a thunderstorm in the mountains, a gurgling stream is likely to turn into turbulence and flood without any warning.
The lynx found a relatively safe jungle: there were no traces of wild beasts; it was far away from tall trees that might be the target of lightning strikes; it had good concealment and was not easily discovered by rebel scouts.
The lynx carefully inspected the surrounding trees: whether there were beehives above the head, and whether there were dead trees that could easily fall down in strong winds and rains...
After the investigation was correct, Lynx'er guided everyone to adapt to local conditions, use existing materials nearby, use various techniques to disguise the camp, and plan a hidden escape passage.
Then, Lynx'er personally set up various traps and mechanisms outside the camp using iron caltrops, sharpened bamboos, tree stumps, and huge logs... The tricks were so complex and so dangerous that Bai Fu and others were stunned to see them.
After the peripheral defenses were properly placed, Lynx used the protruding rocks and trees on the cliff to guide everyone in building different styles of shelters.
Lynx'er asked everyone to find two rows of small trees of suitable size, clean up the dead branches, weeds, rocks and other objects between the two rows of small trees, and then tie the upper parts of the corresponding small trees together to make a tent.
The top bracket. After the bracket is completed, cover the top with a tarpaulin, and use stones or logs to press the bottom edge of the tarp. Then select small branches with lush leaves, weave them together with branches, and use peat
Reinforce and thicken soil and shrub branches.
In the camp, after all the two rows of available small trees were used up, there were still two tents missing.
Lynx'er guided everyone to build two more conical tents: cross one end of three or more wooden sticks and tie them together as the top of the conical tent. Insert the other ends of the wooden sticks into the ground diagonally.
Secure it firmly, then cover all the sticks with a tarp, animal hide or birch bark, and you're done.
After everything was arranged, it was getting dark, and Bai Fu finally understood why Lynx arranged for everyone to set up camp an hour before dark - because there were too many preparations to build a safe and hidden camp.
It is precisely because of Lynx's careful layout that the Lone Eagle team can sit back and relax in the Savage Valley, which is inaccessible and wild beasts are rampant.
