Thinking of this, Ye Feng couldn't help but grin...
Although he doesn't yet know how to make such a bulletproof vest.
But one thing is certain: this thing will definitely come in handy in the future.
He threw away the scales and continued chiseling...
The process went very smoothly, taking less than ten minutes.
When he saw the exposed flesh on the back of the fish, he pulled out the short knife he hadn't used in a long time.
I started recalling the tutorial in the video and slowly began cutting along the edge of the fish fillet…
The process was equally easy; after about ten minutes, a sheet covered in scales...
The scales, about the size of a child's blanket, were completely peeled off.
Ye Feng admired it briefly; it should be more than enough to make a piece of clothing and a hat.
However, he didn't have time to think about it now and immediately used his knife to cut open the belly of the arapaima.
This fish is boneless, with tender pink flesh. When the knife tip slices through the bones, it makes a clattering sound…
He carefully sliced off the two sides of the fish belly, rolled them into a tube, and stuffed them into his backpack…
After that, the bones, stomach, and intestines were all thrown away…
They left behind the fish's kidneys, heart, swim bladder, head, liver, and even its reproductive organs...
These important items were packed into wooden jars.
Half an hour later, Ye Feng had removed all the edible parts and packed them all into his backpack.
And the small fish caught earlier will not be wasted either.
Thank goodness it's a hiking backpack, otherwise it really wouldn't fit.
Now, all that remains at the scene is a withered skeleton.
After packing up, Ye Feng slung his backpack over his shoulder...
"Well…"
At this moment, his facial features seemed to be straining; the weight... was clearly different from what he had anticipated.
Because he threw away so little, he's now carrying at least 170 pounds, and if he adds the compound bow...
That's over 200 jin (100 kg)...
This was a quarter of his own weight, and he still had to travel for two and a half hours, which was definitely a considerable challenge.
Ye Feng looked up at the sky; although the sun was still high in the sky,
But he knew it should be around 3 o'clock now...
Feeling the mountain-like weight on his back, he couldn't help but think of his unconscious companion...
"Da Xiong, Si Si, Xiao Yan... I'm truly your second parent..."
After saying that, he shook his backpack, discarding even the vines attached to the corpse.
He bent over and began to walk back the way he came.
Only then did Ye Feng realize how amazing Fu Changxiong was to be able to carry 300 jin of firewood on his back with a rattan cane.
Back then there was no time limit, but now, he not only has to get back before dark... but also has to get back as fast as possible.
Because, in addition to time and security constraints…
He was also worried that if he delayed too long, the fish would spoil, and all his hard work for the day would be wasted.
With that in mind, he quickened his pace as much as possible.
However, this process did not last long. After walking for about twenty minutes, he collapsed under a big tree, exhausted and covered in sweat.
He had previously thought that dragging corpses was already torturous enough.
But now it seems that compared to carrying over 200 pounds, the stench of the corpse doesn't smell so bad anymore.
That's how people are; they only realize how fortunate they are after experiencing greater hardship.
After resting for a few minutes, Ye Feng resumed his journey home…
The mountain path was not as smooth as the cement road, and he had to be careful with his step.
Especially on ground with scattered rocks, it's easy to twist your ankle or fall if you're not careful.
His only good fortune was that the road he took to get there was mostly uphill.
So the journey back will be easier for him.
Large beads of sweat kept pouring from Ye Feng's face, and within an hour, his clothes were completely soaked...
Even so, he still traversed mountains and valleys, not daring to slacken his efforts in the slightest.
And so, time, like the constant dripping of his sweat, slipped away silently and swiftly…
Before he knew it, he had been hiking for more than two hours, and the sun had already set, and the sky was gradually darkening...
On the other side, Qi Xiaojie in the camp was dragging a large tree branch that had just been sawed off.
This was the task Ye Feng left him.
Now that the treehouse was much more spacious, he carefully sawed off each branch according to the marks Ye Feng had drawn.
Not too much, not too little, strictly following the rules.
He was also exhausted that day.
In the morning, after feeding Liu Sisi her medicine, he began collecting building materials from the surrounding area.
Around noon, they shot a few more birds, boiled them into soup, and then fed it to Fu Changxiong and Qi Xiaoyan.
The afternoon was spent collecting timber, and during the search, he also collected some vines on the back mountain.
After we've almost achieved our goal...
He continued sawing trees without stopping until now, finally completing the task assigned by Ye Feng.
At this moment, Qi Xiaojie was also covered in sweat, and his glasses were fogged up with heat.
He was sitting on the wooden ladder under the treehouse, panting heavily as he wiped the lenses.
"cough!……"
Just then, Liu Sisi's cough suddenly came from the treehouse...
Qi Xiaojie raised an eyebrow, quickly put on his glasses, and immediately climbed up.
"Si... Sisi, you... you're finally... awake?"
He quickly helped him up...
At this moment, Liu Sisi's eyes were half-closed and her lips were somewhat chapped.
Although she still looked weak, her complexion was no longer as rosy as it had been yesterday.
This proves that her high fever has subsided considerably.
"Ahem, little stutterer, I...where are we?"
"hey-hey…"
Qi Xiaojie grinned and said:
“We…we are…in…Brother Feng’s…camp, we…we are saved.”
Liu Sisi raised her eyelids slightly, and a look of excited joy appeared on her lips.
"You found Brother Feng!?"
"Yes! It was Feng... Brother Feng... who saved you."
Qi Xiaojie nodded…
He then stammered out the whole story that happened after Liu Sisi fainted…
A few minutes later, Liu Sisi slowly sat up, looking remorseful.
"I'm so useless. I couldn't even do such a small thing that Brother Feng asked me to do. I almost got everyone killed."
In the end, I still need Brother Feng to bail me out.
Qi Xiaojie shook his head…
"Hey~ don't say that. When you're sick, there's nothing you can do about it."
It's all... in the past. With... Brother Feng here, we... will all... get better.
Liu Sisi smiled and nodded in approval... after looking around.
Suddenly, it was as if he realized something…
"Little stutterer, how long do you think Brother Feng has been gone?"
Qi Xiaojie replied without hesitation:
"One day, he went out from... early... morning."
Liu Sisi frowned slightly, a bad feeling creeping into her heart.
