Chapter 011 Building a Shack
In order to find a suitable camping site, Bifang continued his journey deep into the forest.
[Is this a magic trick? ]
[You don't necessarily have to chop wood to build a cabin, do you? How can you possibly make it in time? ]
[Anchor, give up, go home quickly before it gets dark]
There was not a single cheer in the live broadcast room, and everyone was skeptical.
However, Bifang did not take it to heart and carefully selected a suitable location.
"There are many things to pay attention to when setting up a camping site. The first is the safety of the environment. There are different requirements for different environments. I will tell you in detail when I encounter it later."
"As I said before, the temperature difference between day and night in Qinling Mountains is large, and the temperature at night is basically no more than 10 degrees. I only brought one coat, so we must pay attention to keeping warm and dry, otherwise the loss of heat will cause our physical strength to dissipate quickly and our condition will deteriorate."
After searching in the woods for a while, Bifang finally stopped in a relatively open area of the forest. He then rummaged around on the ground for a long time and nodded, saying, "This is a good place. The ground is dry and there are no ant nests. This way, we don't have to worry about being bitten by insects when we sleep at night."
"Just now many people asked me what to use. It seems that a good cook cannot cook without rice, but in fact we have overlooked many things."
Bifang controlled the drone to rise higher, and a large forest appeared in the camera: "Don't forget, we are in the Qinling Mountains! One of the three largest forest areas in my country, it can be said that there is gold everywhere here!"
"Today I will show you a simple way to build a hut - a pointed-roof hut! This is a very common pointed-roof building that the Ewenki people in my country build in the forest."
After saying this, Bifang began to look for materials to build a shack. Since he had not found a water source yet, he just needed a temporary cold-proof shelter, so the choice of materials was very simple.
[Shenfeng Qingyin presents the anchor with a card*1. —Unclear but impressive. 】
[I realized that I not only didn’t know what a pointed-roof shack was, I also didn’t know there was an Ewenki ethnic group in our country…]
[Shocked, I actually studied on Shark TV. Is this a moral decline or a distortion of human nature? ]
【666, just do it. 】
Bifang looked around and found a fallen dead tree not far away. He walked over quickly and kicked it hard.
While kicking, he explained: "Look, this dead wood is a good material for the main body of the shack, but be careful when moving it. Many poisonous insects and snakes like to burrow under this kind of dead wood, so kicking it a few times in advance can scare them away."
Sure enough, as soon as Bifang finished speaking, a black shadow flashed under the camera and formed a ball.
"Hey, look, there's a millipede right here! It's exactly like what I said!"
The millipede curled up under the dead tree, its body pitch black, like a warrior in black armor. Bifang picked it up directly in front of the camera, held it in the palm of his hand and fiddled with it a few times so that the audience could take a closer look.
[No way, again? ]
[Oh my god, I'm about to vomit again. Wait, why did I say again? ]
[Anchor, you gave me goosebumps! ]
[What is this inexplicable feeling of “feeling the same”? 】
Bifang chuckled. As he often conducted field research, he was naturally not afraid of coming into contact with various insects, but it would be difficult for ordinary people to accept it. However, these were all necessary show effects and were not due to his bad taste.
"However, unfortunately, this thing cannot be eaten."
He stretched out the millipede, placed it under his nose and took a deep breath, combining it with the long worm on his fingertips, just like smelling a cigar!
"If it smells like almonds, that means the millipede is threatened and is secreting a substance containing cyanide, so don't eat it."
Bifang felt a little regretful, but still chose to release the millipede, watching it stretch its body on the ground and crawl away quickly.
[The host doesn’t need to persuade us so seriously…really…]
[Millipede: I never thought in my life that even though I have grown to this size, there are still people coveting me.]
[People shouldn’t, at least can’t…]
Bifang stood up and kicked the tree trunk twice again, but this time no creature came out.
"It seems that there are no other creatures here except this millipede. Now it's getting dark, we have to speed up."
It was getting late and Bifang had no time to chat with the audience. He dragged the dead wood and walked towards the chosen camping site.
The audience in the live broadcast room became nervous as they watched the light in the forest begin to dim, fearing that Bifang would not be able to build the shack by dark and they would then have no place to sleep.
"I mentioned it before when we were climbing trees. A triangle is a very stable structure. A simple pointed-roof shack can also take advantage of this."
Bifang lifted the dead wood and placed it on the fork of a pine tree, thus forming a triangle with the ground as its right angle.
"Look, this is the main body of the shack. As long as we prop up one side, a three-dimensional triangle will be formed!"
A larger branch is fixed to one side of the triangle, holding it up firmly.
“Then there’s the shed roof.”
Leaves, dirt, and moss were all gathered and spread out on the dead tree with its forked branches.
"Finally perfect it."
It was almost visible to the naked eye that a simple shack was built by Bifang's men.
Mission accomplished!
"Okay, what do you think?"
Looking at the completed shack, Bifang clapped his hands. Although it was very simple, this was the first time he had built a shack with his bare hands. He felt a great sense of accomplishment as he had never had such an experience in his previous life.
[Damn, too strong, how long has it been? ]
【Half an hour?】
[Pili Aino presents the anchor with fish balls *999——professional, bold. 】
[iMuJi presents the anchor with Shark Fin*1.0—In terms of infrastructure, I would like to call you the best! ]
[Prince Mu gave the anchor a rocket*1. —I have watched so many outdoor live broadcasts, and Fang Shen is the best one! ]
【Awesome (broken voice)! 】
"Haha, Lord Mu is exaggerating. We should keep a low profile."
Bifang pressed down with both hands, signaling everyone not to do basic exercises.
[Says Fang Shen is fat, Fang Shen is out of breath]
[But Fang Shen is really amazing. His popularity is so high in his first live broadcast. From the time he just met the snake till now, he must have made several thousand, right? ]
[No wonder everyone wants to be an internet celebrity now. 】
【The key is to do it】
[But there are really few people who have real skills. When it comes to live streaming, I have to admit that Lao Fang is the best. ]
"Now, let's go in and take a look."
The built Bifang went straight into the shack, and the camera switched to the first person.
In the first-person perspective, Bifang pointed to a layer of branches and dry ferns on the ground and said, "Because of the large temperature difference, in order to keep warm, we can spread some branches and ferns on the ground to keep warm and prevent moisture."
As he said that, he lay down in the shack, turned over a few times, pressed it again, and found that it was okay and not too prickly.
Although the shack was small, it still gave him a strong sense of security in this wilderness. This was his own territory, a "home".
Bifang lay in the shack and began to talk about some key points about the site selection for the camp.
"The nights in Qinling are cold, so the campsites should be dry and sheltered from the wind, especially not in valleys and caves, because these types of terrain are like wind dens at night."
"And judging the wind direction is quite complicated. I will explain it in detail later. Now I have to do something more important, which is to make a fire!"
Fire is one of the greatest , especially when you are alone in a strange and hostile world, fire is a gift from God.
The hope represented by the flickering flame can even shake people's faith. It can not only change the living conditions of the survivors, but also give them hope.
Bifang climbed out of the shack, and the drone gradually rose higher, capturing most of the sky in the camera. The sunlight from the huge sun gradually gathered, making the clouds appear crimson, which was magnificent.
The red sunlight flooded Bifang like a sea tide.
Unfortunately, he didn't have much time to appreciate the beautiful scenery.
"I only brought a coat for this survival trip, so a shack is not enough in this cold night. We must make a fire to keep warm before dark. Otherwise, if we catch a cold and our condition deteriorates, we may lose the chance to get out of Qinling Mountains."
"Please don't think I'm exaggerating. In fact, in the wilderness, even a small cold can be extremely fatal!"
