"How about it? Brother Ye Feng, I didn't lie to you, did I? This is even with my injuries. If I weren't injured, I could still be holding one."
Ye Feng smiled and nodded...
"Alright! I can let you stay, but there are too many deadly things here. You could lose your life if you're not careful. The pressure to survive is indeed enormous."
Brother Fu, to ensure our safety, you must obey orders without question.
Upon hearing that he could stay, Fu Changxiong was extremely excited, but at the same time, he also had some doubts…
"Bro, what... what does 'obeying orders' mean? Sorry, I'm not very well-educated..."
"It means that if I tell you to do something, you must do it immediately; if I tell you not to do something, you must stop immediately."
"Oh...I see..."
Fu Changxiong suddenly realized...
"No problem! You've read more books than I have, so I'll listen to you. We're probably not that much older than each other anyway."
From now on, you can call me Da Xiong, that's what my brothers all call me.
Ye Feng naturally didn't mince words...
"Okay, Nobita, as long as you listen to me, with your strength, plus my brain and knowledge... you should be able to get through 100 days without any problems."
However, we are in a dangerous situation right now. We must at least get the framework of the shelter up before sunset today.
Go and chop some wood for me right away; I need it urgently.
Seeing Ye Feng's solemn expression, Fu Changxiong readily agreed. At this moment, he completely regarded Ye Feng as his only hope for saving his daughter...
Ye Feng explained the requirements for the wood he needed, and Fu Changxiong picked up an axe and a rattan cane and headed up the hillside...
Watching his hurried figure disappear into the distance, Ye Feng's expression revealed admiration...
A person with absolutely no survival skills actually came to this place where survival was a matter of life and death, all to save his daughter...
"The hearts of parents are truly full of love and worry..."
After a sigh, Ye Feng began his work...
Although he had a ruler, carpentry is a delicate craft, and he didn't have all the necessary tools...
If the mortise is even slightly off by one centimeter, or not neat enough, the wood may not be able to be properly secured or inserted.
Using such beams as a foundation would very likely result in a collapse…
Therefore, Ye Feng was extremely careful, fearing that he might use too much force and crack the log or deepen the mortise.
He was sculpting a work of art...
He carefully struck the chisel with the hammer, each strike only removing a small piece of wood shaving, and sweat unknowingly beaded on his forehead...
As the saying goes, slow and steady wins the race. After more than ten minutes, the rectangular mortise gradually became visible...
He followed the same method, and finally, after more than an hour of intense work, the three round wooden mortises used as the foundation for the crossbeam were finally chiseled out...
Ye Feng flexed his aching fingers and wiped the sweat from his brow. This carpentry work was a hundred times more difficult than he had imagined…
However, he had already figured out the trick, and he was confident that he could complete the main framework before sunset…
He was feeling a bit hungry at that moment, but he was so focused on his work that he didn't even notice the fish had burned...
Even burnt food is still protein, and Ye Feng wasn't about to waste it. He was enjoying his meal when Fu Changxiong appeared on the hillside...
He scrambled down the hill, the logs on his back scattered all over the ground... his pants were torn in half, as if they had been ripped off by something, and he looked extremely flustered...
Ye Feng immediately sensed something was wrong. He grabbed his short knife and rushed forward, his eyes scanning his surroundings warily…
"Nobita, what's going on!?"
Fu Changxiong, panting heavily, pointed upwards on the hillside…
"It's...it's a wild boar. It was chasing me just now..."
Ye Feng's heart tightened. The saying goes, "First the wild boar, second the bear, third the tiger." Wild boars are not only tough-skinned and thick-skinned, but also extremely aggressive and strong…
The danger level is no less than that of a jaguar; encountering one at this time would be truly disastrous…
He immediately looked up at the top of the hillside, but after watching for a while, he did not see any wild boar. It seemed that the wild boar had not come after him.
Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief…
"How did you end up getting involved with that beast?"
Fu Changxiong looked aggrieved…
"I didn't provoke him. I had just finished cutting down the tree and was about to leave when I felt something calling behind me. When I turned around..."
The beast charged at me with a "whoosh," but luckily I'm fast at climbing trees, and it crashed into one of them.
That tree was as thick as my thigh, and it was shaking violently when it hit it.
And it bites! Look... it bit off such a big piece of my pants..."
Ye Feng frowned. Wild boars have an extremely strong sense of territory, and they will attack any creature that appears in their field of vision without hesitation.
Moreover, there are no warnings or alerts whatsoever, which is why it ranks higher than tigers and bears in terms of the danger it poses to people…
The pond below must be its water source, and clearly, its campsite is within its territory...
If you want to build a shelter here, then this beast must be eliminated, otherwise, you won't even know how you die one day...
Thinking of this, Ye Feng quickly asked:
"How many wild boars are there? What do they look like? How big are they?"
Fu Changxiong thought for a moment and replied:
"There was only one wild boar that attacked me, but it was followed by several piglets."
Its appearance was strange; it had a long face with several large, round bumps on it. Its body was about this size…
Fu Changxiong gestured vividly, and Ye Feng already understood when he heard about the bump on his face…
This is most likely a Javan wild boar, also known as the warty wild boar, which is extremely fierce and irritable.
Moreover, it's a social animal, which means there's likely more than one around...
However, this breed of wild boar mainly inhabits the African savanna.
I didn't expect to find this place.
"Hmph, the Amazon really is a magical place."
Ye Feng smiled slightly…
"Nobita, do you want to eat pork?"
"ah?"
Fu Changxiong was stunned for a moment, then guessed Ye Feng's thoughts. He raised his eyebrows, his face full of fear...
"Brother, you want me to fight humans, but fighting wild boars? That's sending me to my death! Those beasts are much fiercer than the wild boars from Northeast China, you..."
"Okay, okay, okay..."
He was interrupted by Ye Feng before he could finish speaking…
"I'm not asking you to confront it head-on. We're human; of course we need to use our brains..."
You were lucky this time; it only bit your pants. But if it bites your leg next time, you can basically call it a day…
Would you want to live next to such a wild beast forever? Especially since we built our shelter on its territory…”
Upon hearing that the game was over, Fu Changxiong shook his head repeatedly…
"No! I have to win the game, bro. Just tell me what you want me to do, and I'll do whatever you say!"
Ye Feng looked at the hillside, then at the pile of timber on the ground…
"Don't worry, I have a way to deal with that beast. Our priority now is to set up the framework of the shelter."
That way I can barely sleep soundly at night. Come on, let's eat something first, we'll be busy this afternoon…”
