At this moment, I didn’t know how hard it was. Although I didn’t eat and I didn’t dare to touch the water in the river, I had one thought in my heart, that is, no matter what I encountered, I had to survive!
I didn't dare to expend too much energy. I knew that I was holding on solely by willpower, so when I pulled the bamboo back out of breath, I didn't even have the strength to remove the branches and leaves.
Maybe I was lucky. When I walked back, I saw a clump of wild banana trees on the side of the road. Although there were no fruits hanging on them, I was too lazy to care about it at this time. I used the short knife of my trekking pole to quickly chop down two of them. tree, the purpose is for the heart of the tree in the middle.
I remember when I was in Yunnan, some Jingpo people often ate the heart of banana trees when they went into the mountains. Not only could they get a lot of water, but they could also stave off hunger. At this moment, I almost ignored the taste, but that kind of mouth-filling taste with a touch of sweetness The feeling of hydration still makes me feel a little lucky.
After burping, I even felt a little corrupted! Although the time was not long, it felt like three days ago seemed a bit far away.
I must have subconsciously felt that these times were torturous. At this time, I felt a little full for the first time. Of course, I also seemed to have some strength in my body. Thinking of Ou Xiang and Lan Fang, I chopped a few more roots without pulling out all the skins. I think this should be a luxury thing for them.
Then when I was about to leave, I actually saw a few tree vines. I knew at a glance that they were the kind of tree vines often used to make rattan chairs in subtropical and tropical areas.
I almost didn't hesitate. In order to survive, I had to prepare in advance, so I thought of some possibilities, so I naturally sawed a few branches and pulled them along with the Phoenix tail bamboo!
I didn't ask for big rattan, but chose the kind that is as thin as a finger. Because this kind of rattan is suitable for making ropes, and it is easy to wind and weave.
At this time, whether it is for myself or for the choice I made at that time, I did not give up on Lanfang and leave. I have to do what I can prepare for now. Because I don't know what will happen next.
So when she saw me carrying these things, Ou Xiang was obviously stunned. Even Lan Fang, who was a little depressed, looked at me with some doubts when he saw the things I was holding.
I didn’t explain anything. After all, this time was not the time to be pretentious. Whether they could understand or even think of anything was not important to me! For myself, if I am more prepared, I will always be prepared.
Of course, when I took the heart of a banana tree and said it was for two people to eat, I didn’t know what Lan Fang was thinking, but he actually shook his head and said he wouldn’t eat it. I didn’t have many options or patience, but Ou Xiang showed full trust in me. .
Seeing Ou Xiang eating a lot, I finally felt a little relieved. I found a place to sit down again. I didn't want to waste my energy. Then I took the hiking stick and unscrewed the sharp short knife on the tip of the stick and gave it to Ou Xiang. Seeing this mystery, I actually felt a little excited.
After all, in this rain forest at this time, with a knife in our hands, we naturally have infinite possibilities, and Ou Xiang also knows what this means.
Don't say there is nothing to eat at this time, even if you do have it, you can't waste it. Seeing her finish eating a one-foot-long banana tree heart, I didn't feel sorry for her, but I was a little happy, knowing that she could only help me for the time being.
I expressed my idea, which was to split the bamboo strips one by one with the bamboo strips, make thin bamboo strips, and then weave a rope on the rattan. Whether this rope is used to climb up to the waterfall,
Whether it's a stone platform or for other livelihood purposes, I have to get it out first.
At this time, it seems to be difficult for inexperienced people to split bamboo strips on a piece of bamboo. But I took a stone and smashed the bamboo head open. When I saw the scattered bamboo heads, I was smart.
Ou Xiang seemed to understand.
I handed her the short knife and told her that it didn’t matter how narrow or wide it was, as long as it was bamboo strips. At this time, we didn’t have much time to choose. Ou Xiang was still very quick, and he smashed open the bamboo.
Use a short knife to separate the bamboo strips.
At this time, Lan Fang became the only person who did not move.
Ou Xiang and I spent almost an hour cutting out a lot of bamboo strips, and then I cut all the bamboo strips into pieces and stretched them into the size of dragon whiskers. Ou Xiang and I, who grew up in the countryside, at this time
Even though he didn't eat, his ability to work was still on display.
Then I twisted the thin vines that were four to five meters long and braided them together with the thin bamboo strips to make a rope that was two fingers thick and nearly twenty meters long. And I dropped the rope on the trunk of the tree.
I went up and tested the rope's bearing capacity, and finally found that even if it can bear two to three hundred kilograms, there should be no problem.
At the end, we wrapped the bamboo and rattan ropes into a bundle that could be carried on our backs at any time. We were almost paralyzed on the ground from exhaustion. But looking at the bundle of ropes, I had a smile on my face for the first time.
"Ajing, are you going to climb up there?" Although I didn't say anything, Ou Xiang vaguely guessed something.
"You don't have to go up, you can also go down to the cliff over there! But with this rope, we have some help. After all, we have to find food. It's hard to say anything now!" I slowly sat up against the roots of the tree.
, glanced at Lan Fang who was standing aside: "Food may be our biggest problem next!"
"Ah Jing, you said that nothing happened this night, but when I saw the man in the river today, I suddenly became a little worried!" It is said that the ignorant are fearless. Thinking about what happened today, it had a real impact on Ou Xiang.
Too strong. So when she looked at the sky, her face suddenly turned dark!
"Yes,,,,,," I was a little helpless, my face didn't show anything, but I sighed slightly in my heart!
The hunger I feel at this time and the bones I usually eat must be the most delicious at this time. Our rations are really too small, but we have to slowly reduce them in order to survive.
What surprised me this time was that Lan Fang was determined not to eat too much and shared only one biscuit like the rest of us! Then everyone drank a little water. Although there was river water in front of us, none of us dared to think of the people in the river.
try.
After resting for a while, I carried the bamboo and rattan rope and went to the waterfall again, trying to find a chance. No matter whether I could really find it or not, I had to do it. Of course, before I came over, I also told Ou Xiang to look for the Bodhi tree.
Next to the tree, find a place with a stable tree trunk and prepare a place for us to roost at night.
After finally getting close to the waterfall again, I found a place with protruding rocks and gaps. After everything was ready, I was ready to try to go up.
