Chapter 168 I don't need an oar for rowing, I rely on the waves wherever I go!
When everyone returned to the shelter, the sun was setting in the sky, and its blazing rays were shining on the forest, making the trees, flowers, and plants feel sickly.
Old Hu was already very sick, lying in the shelter playing the guitar, with a look of great sorrow on his face. People who didn't know better thought he was singing "Tears Behind Bars"!
Seeing Wu Hu and the others coming back, Lao Hu immediately became energetic. He looked like he was dying of illness and sat up in shock. He said with a smile: "Oh! Not bad! Did you gain so much today?"
Wu Hu put down the bag of banana tree cores he was carrying on his shoulders and said with a smile: "Would you like to try this for you? It's very refreshing!"
With that said, Wu Hu untied the banana leaf, took out a piece of banana tree core, and handed it to Lao Hu.
Lao Hu looked at this jade-white thing suspiciously and asked, "What is this?"
"Try it, it's watery, white and tender! It's very hydrating and it's great for quenching your thirst!"
Old Hu looked at the crowd with suspicion, and opened his mouth, ready to put the banana tree core to his mouth, but soon he laughed like a thief, "You want to lie to me, no way! I think I don't know what this is.
Is this? This is the core of a banana tree!"
Wu Hu nodded and said, "Yes! Have you eaten it before?"
"I heard that this stuff is crispy, sweet and delicious, with enough water, almost like sugar cane."
Wu Hu chuckled, "You're overthinking it, it's not as delicious as sugar cane!"
"Hey! You still want to lie to me."
"I never lie. If you don't believe me, just ask everyone." Wu Hu said, looking at Tietie and Yahuazi, and said: "It's still early now, I guess it will be around three to four o'clock, I will go to the beach.
, see if Brother Jing has finished the work. Don’t go out anymore. It’s time to rest, then wash and blanch the wild vegetables..."
Tietie nodded and said: "Go ahead! We know what to do."
Seeing that Wu Hu ignored him, Lao Hu tried to take a bite of the core of the banana tree, and then slowly started chewing it. As he chewed, Lao Hu started to sigh, "Fat Hu, you said you didn't lie to me! This thing
There’s no taste at all, and it’s a bit astringent when you chew it…”
"That's right! That's why I said it's not as delicious as sugar cane! You don't believe it!"
The three girls and Milk Cha Lun all burst into laughter at this time. Lao Hu hunted geese all day long and thought of playing tricks on others. Today he finally did it.
However, this cannot actually be considered a prank. Lao Hu was somewhat mentally prepared and had already recognized this thing. It can only be said to be an attempt.
But what left Lao Hu speechless was that Wu Hu did not follow common sense and did not follow what he said, but did the opposite. Moreover, Wu Hu did not say that the food was delicious, he just said that it was white, tender and very moist.
It's enough to quench your thirst, but it doesn't taste great.
It can only be said that Lao Hu was deceived by other people who made the video, making him want to taste whether this was as sweet and delicious as others said.
But no matter what, everyone was still very happy to see Lao Hu looking deflated.
After that, others stayed in the shelter to work while Wu Hu ran towards the seaside.
At the beach, Zhan Langjing is wearing a ring-shaped straw hat, shirtless, busy in the sun, sweating profusely, and his skin is tanned and shiny. Looking at the shiny skin in the sun, it should be made from coconut meat.
Have been treated with sunscreen.
"Brother Jing, how much is left?"
From a distance, Wu Hu called to him.
Zhan Langjing raised his head, wiped the sweat, and smiled with wrinkles on his face, "You guys are back, it's still early, there's half of it left! Open a coconut for me, I'll take a rest..."
"okay!"
Wu Hu picked up a coconut next to him, whittled it twice randomly with the axe, then lightly scratched it with the tip of the axe, and handed the coconut over.
At the same time, he observed the trapezoidal card slots carved out by Zhan Langjing. Although Zhan Langjing said he didn't know how to do carpentry, these trapezoidal slots were actually pretty good.
However, it is true that more than half of it is still not completed.
So Wu Hu took the ax and began to work. His movements were no longer as cautious as in the morning, but felt a bit like opening and closing.
But when the ax fell on the wood, Zhan Langjing knew that Wu Hu actually controlled the force very well and did not damage the wood.
In about two hours, Wu Hu carved out all the trapezoidal grooves, and then used an ax to process and shape the remaining two horizontal logs. He cut a long, raised trapezoidal wedge on the horizontal log, which was just right for jamming.
On those trapezoidal grooves of wood.
The logs were lined up one by one. Zhan Langjing held the crossbar while Wu Hu pushed the crossbar forward, allowing the trapezoidal wedges on the crossbar to fit into the trapezoidal grooves of the wood below.
After hitting a tight spot, start tapping with the back of the axe. In this way, the two crossbars are connected to a row of wood, and the wood is well fixed side by side.
Then, Wu Hu used the rope to pass through the gap in the row of wood, tied the bottom row of wood to the crossbar, and finally pulled up the rope to shrink the bottom row of wood.
In this way, the raft is completed, and all that remains is to make an anchor for it.
In the live broadcast room, countless netizens couldn't help but sigh when they saw the raft made by the second group.
"The rafts of the second group are completely stronger than the other groups!"
Wu Hu and the others didn't know that except for their second group, the other groups, except for the third group that lacked survival experts, had all built rafts.
It's just that they were all in a hurry when building the rafts, so in terms of sturdiness, no one group could compare with the second group.
As for the third group, although they also knew that they wanted to build a raft, they had already failed once due to the lack of survival experts. Today, they are looking for dead wood to prepare for the second time to build a raft.
In contrast, the second group was the slowest in building rafts.
"The poor third group also lacks survival experts, but the second group is much better."
"Fat Tiger said he could build a raft, but I didn't believe it. I didn't expect he could really do it!"
"Don't worry, we haven't launched it yet! Their raft is obviously a little too heavy."
"Actually, it's not difficult to build a raft. What's difficult is choosing what kind of wood to build. It's obviously not possible if the buoyancy is too small. The rafts in the second group look quite heavy..."
"After watching the video of building a raft, my brain said: I know it! My hands said: Give it a try..."
…
Wu Hu smiled and said, "Would you like to push it into the sea and try it?"
"Okay! Give it a try. If it works, I can use it tonight." Zhanlang Jing said with a smile: "Tomorrow you and Sissi are going to compete, so don't go into the sea tonight. The most important thing is to maintain your physical strength. My name is
Come with Alan, and I can go to the sea by myself."
Wu Hu smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I will be fine after diving once or twice. Although my endurance is poor, my physical recovery speed is not slow. Sleeping for one night is enough to recover. And I have to do it at night."
If the anchor doesn't float away with the sea water in time, we won't even be able to cry, it will take us a long time."
Zhan Langjing laughed, and then together with Wu Hu, they worked together to overturn the raft.
Then Wu Hu walked to the front and stretched out his hand to lift the raft. Zhan Langjing walked to the back to lift the raft, but when he tried his hand, he almost dodged the old man, "Go back! It's so heavy!"
He knew that Wu Hu was strong, but he didn't expect that he was so strong.
A total of twenty-five pieces of wood were used to make this raft. If each piece of wood is calculated as fifteen kilograms, it would weigh nearly four hundred kilograms.
With such a weight, Wu Hu seemed to be able to lift one side without any effort.
Zhan Langjing originally thought that his estimate was wrong, but after some calculations, he found that it was not his estimate that was wrong, but Wu Hu's strength.
"It's so heavy. Will it sink immediately when it hits the sea?"
Zhan Langjing is somewhat timid. If he fails, it will be a trivial matter to make a joke. It will be a waste of effort and his confidence will be hit, which will be fatal.
"Probably not!"
Although he had full-level boat-building skills in the wild, due to limited tools, he could not process the wood and could only simply build it. But at this time, Wu Hu was full of confidence.
Although the wood he selected was not the best for shipbuilding, it was very buoyant. With so many pieces of wood tied together, it would not be easy to sink it.
As he spoke, Wu Hu grabbed the crossbar on the raft, fell backwards, and dragged the heavy raft back towards the sea.
Zhan Langjing opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, so he had to rush up to help.
In the live broadcast room, countless netizens couldn't help but complain when they saw Wu Hu's strength, "No wonder Brother Jing said he can't beat Fat Tiger. With Fat Tiger's strength, he can beat anyone!"
"Hey, that's it, Tyson punches one at a time!"
"That raft looks like it weighs at least four to five hundred pounds! Fat Tiger is indeed a Fat Tiger."
"Normally, this is just lifting one side and dragging it, not carrying the entire raft. Although it seems that the strength is not small, it is not to the level of shocking the world."
"I think if Fat Tiger can practice his actual combat ability, he can probably beat Tyson!"
"Oh, Tyson can beat the crap out of him!"
In any case, Wu Hu couldn't go and fight Tyson, so the two sides could just brag each other as hard as they could.
…
The two dragged the raft back, step by step, and left more than twenty scratches on the beach.
When he arrived at the beach and was about to step into the sea water, Wu Hu stopped and signaled Zhan Langjing to put down the raft to avoid stepping into the sea water with his shoes, which would have to be washed when he went back.
After putting down the raft, Wu Hu planned to turn the raft over again and let the side without the crossbar be the bottom. This way, the resistance would be much smaller when rowing the raft.
Zhan Langjing said: "Wait a minute, we still have two foam boards that can be tied underneath to increase a little buoyancy..."
Wu Hu was noncommittal, but Zhan Langjing had already run to the shore to get the foam board.
After fixing the foam board to the raft with strings, the two of them worked together to flip the raft over. It hit the seawater with a pop and then floated up again.
Wu Hu laughed heartily when he saw this, then took off his shoes and climbed onto the raft.
At this time, Zhan Lang Jingcai slapped his thigh and said: "Fat Tiger, we don't have an oar yet!"
Wu Hu was stunned for a moment, then coughed slightly and said: "It's okay, I don't need an oar when rowing a boat, I just rely on the waves to go wherever I go!"
Hearing this, Zhan Langjing burst out laughing, "I'll go find a stick."
In the live broadcast room, netizens have already started making complaints.
"God damn it all depends on the waves, aren't you using your hands?"
"Haha... I don't need gas to drive, I just rely on blowing to go wherever I go!"
"It's all about blowing? I think it's all about pushing!"
"Ha ha……"
When netizens complained about Wu Hu, Wu Hu had already tried it again and found that there was no problem with the raft's buoyancy and its sturdiness.
The only problem now is the anchor and the oar. It is obviously impossible to rely solely on waves.
Not long after, Zhan Langjing came back with a long stick and threw it towards Wu Hu in the sea. Wu Hu raised his hand to catch the flying stick, sat on the raft, stretched the stick into the sea water, and shook it on one side.
, paddling casually, the raft finally floated slowly towards the open sea.
Not long after, Wu Hu rowed the raft back and jumped off the raft. "There is no problem with the buoyancy. Just make two oars at night, get a rattan rope, and tie a stone as an anchor."
Zhan Langjing grinned, glanced at the sky, and said, "Let's go! It's getting late, let's go back to eat first."
Wu Hu nodded, turned around and rowed the raft to a reef not far away, dragged the raft from the sea to the beach, directly lifted the raft and leaned it sideways on the reef, with a crossbar stuck on the reef. Because
The tide would rise at night to prevent the raft from being dragged away by the sea water.
