Before going up the mountain, preparation is necessary.
Fire is a top priority and must be preserved. Lin Hao lit another fire far away from the shack, and then set up some half-dry old tree heads on top so that the dry wood below would burn out.
, the old tree tops above were barely dried. The old tree tops are resistant to burning and can still emit smoke, which can serve as a signal for help.
Another equally important thing was food. They packed all the food into a foam box and buried it on the beach in front of the shack.
After doing this, the three of them went up the mountain carrying some food and fresh water.
This time we went up the mountain, obviously not just for passing by like last time, but to explore what is on this island.
Lin Hao is full of expectations for the primitive jungle. Last time, he collected a lot of rare medicinal materials and food just by passing by. This time, he went to the mountain specifically, and the harvest will not be small.
The three of them walked along the woods on the side of the shack, passing by the bushes where Lin Hao and Han Xue once hid in for wild fights, and then walked up in the opposite direction in the direction where the wild bears were.
Yes, Lin Hao had another purpose this time. With his injuries healed and his martial arts fully restored, he thought of settling the score with the wild bear that scratched him last time!
Although bear meat is not very tasty, bear skin is very useful. After being cooked, it can be made into mats, quilts, and even clothes.
It had been more than twenty days since Lin Hao first arrived on the island, but he had always been wearing the same clothes. Although he had taken them off and washed them, they were already a bit tattered. If he couldn't find replacement clothes, he would soon expose his butt.
.
The primitive jungle was very dense. Lin Hao, who was walking in front, fought through thorns and thorns all the way, leading the two women forward.
I discovered a lot along the way and harvested some, but most of them were just medicinal materials!
These medicinal materials are very rare. If they are placed in the city, any of them can be sold for a good price, and some can even be sold for sky-high prices!
For example, the Ganoderma lucidum found on the top of a huge broken tree, although it is not blood Ganoderma, is still a wild Ganoderma that is more than a hundred years old! There are three of these century-old wild Ganoderma lucidum, each weighing more than one kilogram, and the largest one weighs about three
About kilograms!
Lin Hao often buys medicinal materials, so he is very clear about the price of Ganoderma lucidum. Although the price of artificially cultivated Ganoderma lucidum is not high, the price of wild Ganoderma lucidum, especially the older ones, is extremely high.
The market price of one kilogram of wild 100-year-old Ganoderma lucidum reaches about 150,000, and 1.5 kilograms of Xingsheng 100-year-old Ganoderma lucidum is worth about 350,000. Two kilograms of wild 100-year-old Ganoderma lucidum is worth more than 450,000, and so on. There is no upper limit on the price.
!
The older the age, the greater the weight, and the higher the price, and it is often expensive but not marketable! Kilogram-level wild Ganoderma lucidum that is hundreds of years old is generally only sold at auctions, but it is no longer just a medicinal material, but has become a kind of medicine.
artwork.
In other words, as long as the three wild Ganoderma lucidum collected by Lin Hao can be sold, he can easily earn more than 1 million. But on this deserted island, who can he sell to?
I can only see if I can catch pheasants in a while, and then go back and make some soup to drink.
Recently, I have been having in-depth exchanges with Han Xue day and night. Although he has no symptoms of discomfort, his condition is getting better and better. However, Han Xue is worried that he is not nutritious enough and always encourages him to eat more meat to prevent him from suffering from the disease.
I don’t know why it’s expensive, but I always shed tears over it.
The further the three of them moved forward, the denser the jungle became, and the trees became more numerous and larger. Some were even towering ancient trees that required several people to surround them.
If Lin Hao really wanted to build a ship, there would be inexhaustible raw materials on the mountain, but the problem was that he had no tools. He would need at least a saw to cut down trees and then build the ship.
But it doesn’t matter. There are no tools to make it. There is a lot of garbage on the other side of the beach. There are some iron tools in the garbage. As long as you find a thicker and longer piece of iron, grind out the teeth and make a saw, you can
Cut down trees.
But in that case, the project will be bigger and it will take longer!
To polish a saw that can cut a large tree, and without a handy sharpening tool, it will take at least one or two months. After the saw is made, it will take at least three to five days to cut the tree.
There are enough trees to build a small boat, and it will take another three to five days to get the trees from the mountain to the coast.
It has been two months since they finished doing this, but there is still no sign of the ship. They have to cut all the trees and then start building it. Once it is built, they have to make sure it can sail on the sea. Then they will have to stay on the island for at least another half year.
.
Isn’t it too long to take half a year to build a boat?
Lin Hao has always been a person who does whatever he wants, but this matter takes too long, so he must seriously consider it!
The two women saw him standing in front of a big tree in a daze, not moving for a long time.
Xue Yue couldn't help but poke his shoulder lightly, "Hey, what did you do? Have you been tapped on acupuncture points?"
Lin Hao came back to his senses and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "I was thinking about how long it would take to cut down this tree!"
Xue Yue pointed at the half-foot-long sharp knife in his hand and said, "Use this?"
Lin Hao lowered his eyes and did not answer immediately.
Xue Yue reached out and patted his shoulder, and said in an old-fashioned way: "Young man, it's time for me to teach you some principles of life. Although others say that as long as there is a sense of balance, an iron pillar can be ground into a needle. But the tools are not
If it's suitable, no matter how hard you sharpen it, it's all in vain! Use a knife to saw a big tree? Don't be naive, if you can cut it in three to five months, I think you are good."
Lin Hao smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Han Xue hesitated and said: "Lin Hao, do you... want to build a ship and leave this place?"
The parents who gave birth to me, and the one who knows me well, is none other than Han Xue. I am worthy of being a partner who has had in-depth discussions for so many rounds. She already knew what position to take before his buttocks lifted up, so he nodded and said: "Yes.
, I do have this idea."
Han Xuedao: "But this is a big project. Without the right tools, we may have to spend a long time!"
Lin Hao nodded: "I know, but if there is no other way, this is the only way."
Han Xuedao: "Don't make a decision in a hurry, let's think about it again!"
Lin Hao said: "Well, let's discuss it carefully when we go back tonight."
Han Xue said: "Then let's continue walking inside!"
Lin Hao nodded again, and then continued to move forward with the two women.
After entering the depths of the woods, the three finally discovered something abnormal. In fact, it was not abnormal, it was just some feces.
When he saw the pile of feces, Lin Hao pulled Xue Yue over and said: "Xue Yue, as a killer, your observation skills should be good. Regarding this pile of feces, please express your opinion!"
Xue Yue was sweating profusely, "Are you serious?"
Lin Hao said: "Of course!"
Xue Yue said: "Is this matter meaningful?"
Lin Hao said: "Yeah!"
Xue Yue had no choice but to curl his lips, then squat down and carefully observe the pile of excrement. After a while, he said: "Such a big excrement must be left by a large animal. So I guess it is either a wild boar or a wild bear, of course.
It could also be an orangutan, but based on our knowledge of being on the island for so long, I think it’s a wild bear.”
Lin Hao looked at Han Xue, "What did Sister Xue say?"
Han Xuedao: "I feel like a wild bear too!"
Lin Hao asked Xueyue again, "What else?"
Xue Yue said: "Although the feces is old, it is not completely dry. Judging from the weather these days, I think it should be about a week. In other words, this is not the wild bear we killed."
Lin Hao nodded again, "Is there any more?"
Xue Yue thought hard, "This should be just the excrement of a wild bear. Then, there is no more, there is only so much I can see!"
Lin Hao said: "This wild bear was neither killed by us nor the one I encountered before!"
Xue Yue said in surprise: "Are you sure?"
Lin Hao nodded, "The wild bear I encountered was stabbed in the abdomen by me. Judging from the wild bear's physiological structure, it should be in its stomach. Even if the injury can heal itself, it will also affect the digestive function.
It caused serious damage, but the pile of feces was complete and firm, with no signs of indigestion at all, so I was sure it was not the one I encountered on the mountain."
Xue Yue held his forehead and shouted: "Oh my god, how many wild bears are there on this island?"
Lin Hao said: "At least three or more."
Xue Yue smiled bitterly and said: "Are we entering a bear island?"
Lin Hao added: "In addition, wild bears are not social animals. They only stay together for a period of time during the lactation and cub stages. After growing up, wild bears have various territories. A wild bear will never run away.
Defecating in territory that does not belong to you.”
Xue Yue said: "You mean we have entered the territory of a wild bear now?"
Lin Hao nodded and said, "Yes, so from now on, we must be more careful."
The two women were deeply convinced, and their expressions became serious. They looked around from time to time, as if a wild bear would appear at any time.
The three of them continued walking into the mountain, exploring and discovering, picking and digging at the same time!
By one o'clock in the afternoon, they had walked seven or eight kilometers of mountain roads, but the road ahead was still endless. Calculating the time to return, they decided that today's adventure trip had come to an end, so they returned along the same route and would return tomorrow.
Then continue up the mountain from another direction. Change the direction the day after tomorrow and explore the entire island in an arc-shaped radial way.
When they finally came back from the mountains, it was already sunset, but when they saw the shack where they lived, they were shocked!
