Chapter 40: The Surprise of the Fish Cage, Stew a Pot at Night (Please Read)



There is a light, and it is indeed possible to reach the creek from here.

At night, not only crabs come out, but stone frogs also come out to look for food.

If you have time, you can spend a few hours in the evening to get some food from the creek.

After adjusting his mentality, Jiang Ye tied the big basket around his body and put the little mountain mouse in it.

Then, he took out the homemade sickle from his backpack, took the power bank and walked towards the stream.

"Sleeping like this has disrupted all my plans."

"But it's mainly because I didn't sleep well last night, and I was caught in the rain for so long."

"I'm really thankful that I don't have a cold or fever. So, I need some hot soup and food tonight."

"Now go to the stream and get some cassava, and then see if there are any fish in the basket."

He must bring a spear, and Jiang Ye also brought the meteorite stick.

"There won't be any thunder tonight, will there?"

"That scene at five or six this morning really scared me to death."

Jiang Ye wasn't exaggerating at all; he was trembling with fear. Of course, it wasn't as exaggerated as peeing himself.

"This lemongrass is still useful. I'll take it back and crush it up and use it to repel mosquitoes. It should be effective."

"These mosquitoes are really annoying. I've been bitten all over my body."

As Jiang Ye spoke, he continued to cut the grass with the sickle in his hand.

However, something soon arose.

"Oh my god, my sickle is broken..."

"It's so unusable. It broke so quickly."

"The blade fell out directly, and the end of the stick also cracked directly, so it can't be used." Jiang Ye picked up his blade and complained.

Putting away his blade, Jiang Ye knocked Xiangcao down with his spear and made a way out.

There were stone axes before, but now there are no stone axes anymore.

But it did not stop Jiang Ye. After clearing a path with his spear, Jiang Ye slid along the path to the stream.

In order to make it easier to fetch water in the future, we must make a small ladder or dig some steps to go down.

Because of the good lighting, Jiang Ye could see it clearly.

After walking a distance downstream along the river, Jiang Ye arrived at Cassava's location.

Because of the thunderstorm, the water level rose a little today, but the impact was not great and Jiang Ye’s cassava was not washed away.

However, in the future I will definitely need to use stones to enclose a shallow water area so that I can soak some plants.

While walking towards the fish cage, Jiang Ye also picked up a piece of meteorite that was blown away.

This piece of meteorite was about the size of Jiang Ye's fist, very heavy, and brighter in color.

When he arrived at the fish cage, Jiang Ye poured out the catch inside.

"Look, there are still three crabs and quite a few small fish!"

Jiang Ye looked at the harvest poured into his big basket with a smile on his face.

This is the joy of harvest!

Jiang Ye moved the fish cage five or six meters downstream and dealt with the small mountain rats on the side.

After cleaning the internal organs, you can put them in the fish cage as bait.

Peel the skin directly off.

Jiang Ye found that his skinning skills were very practical, which was demonstrated when he was handling prey.

There wasn't much meat on the skinned mountain rat, but Jiang Ye was unwilling to let it go.

Put the fish cage back into the water and secure it.

After finishing these, Jiang Ye returned upstream.

Jiang Ye was very satisfied with the fish and cassava stew at noon.

In the evening, I can eat again.

Back at the temporary camp, Jiang Ye built a simple stove and placed the meteorite iron pot on it.

Add water and boil it first, then put the cassava and small fish cut from the stream into the pot.

Jiang Ye didn't touch the crab. He tied it up with lemongrass and prepared to eat it tomorrow morning.

Eat one meal and think about the next one, this is very necessary in the wilderness.

Because you may not be able to find food for the next meal, leaving some for yourself will give you more time to find food.

After cooking the food, Jiang Ye brought back the lemongrass he had cut earlier.

I found a stone and smashed the lemongrass stems with the meteorite chunks I found in the stream.

One side of this meteorite is relatively flat and smooth, making it very suitable as a hammer.

Also, it is easier to grip.

If conditions permit, it would be particularly suitable to process it into a hammer.

So, when making a fire to cook, Jiang Ye threw his meteorite iron stick into the fire.

If it can be heated to red, you can take it out and knock it.

Apply some lemongrass juice on your body to repel mosquitoes and insects.

There was some effect. From the moment he started smashing, he could smell the scent of citronella essential oil, and the mosquitoes began to avoid him.

After finishing these, Jiang Ye went to adjust the fire in the stove to make it burn more vigorously.

Then, Jiang Ye picked up a long piece of wood to be used as a bottom beam.

Even if he had to stay up all night, Jiang Ye had to fix these four base beams.

After tying them up, Jiang Ye will use some wood at the bottom line to support these bottom beams so that they can bear better weight.

Jiang Ye felt that if he only used vines to tie it, it would definitely not be strong enough.

It was not easy to tie it to a height of more than two meters, or even three meters. Jiang Ye watched Gu Ning make a simple ladder and climbed up to the height to tie the bottom beam.

After all, it is three meters high and many animals cannot reach it, so it is much safer.

Jiang Ye also felt that this height was suitable. One of the trees had a branch extending out at a position a little over three meters, which provided Jiang Ye with a fixed point.

Jiang Ye directly inserted a bottom beam into the tree branch, and then used a broken tree more than three meters long to prop it up.

Jiang Ye easily handled the first base beam.

In fact, Jiang Ye felt that he only needed to fix two bottom beams.

Once you have these two, you can lay the wood on top.

Jiang Ye thought that he could lay the two middle poles first and then reinforce them from the bottom.

Therefore, Jiang Ye only needs to fix the bottom beam at the other end.

The tree Jiang Ye chose was not particularly thick, so it was still possible to climb more than three meters high.

Moreover, he had a canvas rope in his hand, which he could use to tie himself to the tree trunk, so that if he leaned back a little, he could use the rope to stabilize himself.

However, this matter must be done after dinner.

Now he has almost no strength left, so how can he have the power to climb a tree?

I sat down and rested for a while, while taking care of the fire in the stove.

The soup in the meteorite pot turned milky white, which was caused by the cassava falling apart after being cooked.

This means that the cassava is cooked enough.

So Jiang Ye quickly put out the fire.

When he stepped out, Jiang Ye found that the meteorite rod had been burned a little red.

So, he decisively wrapped the meteorite rod with canvas and took it out.

Then place the red-hot iron rod on a stone and forge it with another flat piece of meteorite.

Even if there is only a tiny change, it is encouragement and hope for Jiang Ye.
