When Zhao Wei looked at those big snakes, everyone thought he was going to kill the snakes. Using snakes to tie rafts was a crazy and dangerous idea.
These snakes are as numerous as the hairs on a cow. Those that are too small are useless, and those that are too big can be exhausting to catch and kill.
They have lost the courage to fight the big snake.
They didn't breathe a sigh of relief until Zhao Wei walked up to a tree and started peeling the bark with an axe.
Fortunately, they can still accept this.
Some tree barks are very tough, such as the bark of mulberry and eucommia.
There happened to be quite a few Eucommia trees here, which was a real surprise.
After these tree barks have been used up, they can be collected again, dried and given to the barefoot doctor. Such good medicinal materials cannot be wasted.
Tsk tsk... It's a lucky thing that the resources in this mountain are abundant. If this was a barren land, it would be in vain even if he wanted to show off his ability.
Zhao Wei collaborated with several others.
When several young men had worked hard to place a dozen straight and round logs of similar diameter on the shore, Zhao Wei had almost finished processing the bark in his hand.
The barks have been hammered and become slightly softer after simple processing.
Everyone worked hard for more than an hour, and when they finished, they were so hungry that their stomachs were growling.
Zhao Wei said to the python meat: "This thing is edible, you guys..."
The few people were a little hesitant at first, but in the face of extreme hunger, they all craved meat, so they finally plucked up the courage to cut some off, and grilled it over a fire by the river.
The meat had no saltiness and didn't taste very good, but everyone still ate it voraciously.
There is no reason to be picky nowadays. When it comes to survival, many taboos can be broken.
Even after filling their stomachs, several people were discussing how to bring the giant python back to the village.
This is three or four hundred kilograms of meat. If they divide it equally among several people, each of them can get several dozen kilograms of meat.
But the snake was too heavy, and they could barely lift it with their abilities.
But if you want to transport it out, it would really cost lives.
It was at this time that Zhao Wei took out the rope that he had been reluctant to use and said to everyone, "Of course I have to take this big guy with me. Otherwise, what's the point of killing it with so much effort?"
"And this sheep is lighter, so it can go on the raft with us."
"It's still very convenient to go by water. It's better to leave it in the water for now."
Sheep can swim, so when you encounter a critical situation, you can push them into the water as long as you tie them with a rope.
Including the giant snake.
It was much more convenient to drag it in the water using a raft boat than for them to carry it laboriously.
After hearing Zhao Wei's plan, everyone suddenly realized it and silently gave him a thumbs up.
But someone still had to mention it.
"President, what if this river can't be drained out?"
"Liang Lan, you can't just not try it!"
If it really doesn't work, take the sheep away and cut the snake meat into pieces. Take as much as you can. If you really can't carry it all, throw it away.
No matter what, you have to save your life first.
To be on the safe side, everyone made a few extra oars and poles, and after some hard work, they finally set off.
It was already around 2 p.m. and they didn't have much time, so they had to leave the valley before dark.
Fortunately, the bottom of the water here is relatively deep, the water flow is very gentle, and we are going downstream. We carefully rowed the raft all the way, dragging several hundred kilograms of snake meat forward.
If the water was shallower, the snake meat would have dragged the raft to the bottom. It can only be said that everything was just right.
The forward speed was abnormally slow, which seriously delayed the journey.
After walking for about an hour, they saw a particularly large cave.
At this time, the cave was pitch black, as if a monster was about to eat people.
Several young people were frightened.
"Captain, do you want to go in? It's so dark in there, and we don't know how deep it is. It would be too dangerous if we bump into something!"
"Alas... I didn't have enough foresight when I left. I should have prepared some dry wood and a torch!"
…
Zhao Wei looked at the spare oars in his hand and said, "If all else fails, just burn these. After all, there's no turning back."
This valley doesn't look very big when viewed from the air. Who would have thought that it would take so much time to float down through the twists and turns?
It's really like running to the mountain and dying!
Before entering, everyone was quite nervous. They felt that there were some monsters inside that would jump out and eat people.
The main reason is that I heard too many ghost stories since I was a child, and I was unconsciously drawn into it.
They were walking smoothly at first, but after about ten minutes, a fish from the river suddenly jumped onto the raft and fell into the crotch of one of the men.
This was truly a disaster from the sky. The young man was so frightened that he jumped three feet high, breaking the balance of the raft and causing everyone to shake violently.
Fortunately, everyone worked together to stabilize the raft, preventing it from overturning.
When things stabilized, they found that the torches on the raft had fallen into the water and gone out.
The wet wood could not be lit, so Zhao Wei had no choice but to donate one of his coats and tie it to the wood.
When everyone finally saw the light, what they saw was a horrifying scene.
The frightened young man fell into the water.
At this time, his figure was actually some distance away from the raft. If the distance was further away, even his shadow might not be visible.
"Erxiao, swim over here quickly, don't stop..."
"What should I do? The second kid is not moving, but still thrashing around. Could he be suffering from cramps?"
"Ah! It's possible that he encountered a monster and was entangled by it. Hurry up and save Erxiao!"
…
The young man in the water kept slapping the water surface and gulping down several mouthfuls of water.
The other party can swim, so the appearance of this written statement is really unexpected.
They really don't have any ropes on their bodies now, otherwise, if they throw the rope over, they can at least give someone a hand.
Zhao Wei knew that the situation was critical, so he stood up.
"You guys stay put, I'll go pick up Erxiao."
His movements were so fast that before anyone could look over, he had already jumped into the water.
It kept swimming towards the second child.
"President, can you please help me? The water looks so dangerous!"
"Grandma, please bless me. If it means the president and Erxiao can come back safely, I would rather be a vegetarian for three months."
…
Just as a few people made great wishes and prayed anxiously for the two of them, they saw Zhao Wei dive into the water.
No one knew what he was doing. They just looked at the seemingly calm but dangerous water surface and fell into panic.
