Chapter 212: Ants Will Bite When They Get Anxious
The little fish dived into the water and didn't emerge for a long time.
Chu Qiao looked at the dozen lotus roots tied around his waist and urged, "Alright, alright, that's enough."
Although wolves have much better immunity and environmental adaptability than humans, she still doesn't want Xiao Diao to be in danger of being infected with viruses and bacteria.
Xiao Diao was reluctant to come up, so Chu Qiao fixed his eyes on him and pressed down with his hand holding the paddle, causing the paddle to sink deeply into the mud. Chu Qiao pushed back, and the entire canoe rushed forward, catching up with Xiao Diao.
Chu Qiao reached into the water and passed his hand under Xiao Diao's body, picked her up and forced her to lie down on the canoe. The whole canoe became shaky due to the added weight.
Chu Qiao stood up, carefully maintaining his balance.
Chu Qiao pushed the oar deep into the water, and after a dozen pushes, they were already close to the shore.
Xiao Diao stood up, jumped up, stretched out his limbs, and landed steadily on the shore.
Chu Qiao walked quickly from the canoe to the shore as if walking on a tightrope, shaking his head to shake off the dirty water on his body. The splashing mud covered Chu Qiao's reed-flowered clothes with mud.
Chu Qiao frowned: "You guy..."
[Xiao Diao, this is a reward, right?]
"Master Chu, this is your fault. Who told you not to let Xiao Diao play in the water?"
Chu Qiao glared at the netizens in front of the screen: "You are typical of spoiling your dog. If it gets sick in the middle of nowhere, I won't be able to find a veterinarian to treat it."
Chu Qiao picked up Xiao Diao and placed it by the fire.
"Stay warm by the fire and don't catch a cold."
“Gurgle gurgle—”
The water hanging above the flame was slowly heated, making a gurgling sound, and steam came out from the tight gaps.
Chu Qiao was delighted and put down the lotus leaves and lotus pods he had picked.
Run to the fire and pick off a hanging leaf water bag.
"The water is already heated to a fairly high temperature, so it's relatively safe. However, it's still a little hot, so let's wait a little longer."
While Chu Qiao was talking, she was not idle either. She brought back the lotus leaves and lotus roots that were unloaded on the shore.
Half an hour later, Chu Qiao touched the bulging leaf water bag and carefully poked a hole in it with a branch. Warm water flowed out of the hole.
Chu Qiao now spread the lotus leaves on the ground. The lotus leaves are particularly large and naturally concave in the middle, so the water droplets roll into the center of the lotus leaves.
"Increasing the area can speed up the temperature drop."
Chu Qiao shouted to Xiao Diao, "Xiao Diao, come here and have some water."
Xiao Diao rushed over, his hair still wet and sticking to his body, making his body instantly shrunk by half, looking quite funny.
Chu Qiao pointed at the lotus leaf and said, "This is yours."
After Chu Qiao finished speaking, he couldn't wait to pour the remaining water into his mouth.
A man who hadn't had any water for a day looked as if a wolf had drunk nectar, with an expression of enjoyment on his face.
[Master Chu finally got some water. It wasn't easy.]
【It’s better to drink hot water.】
[The water isn't boiled yet. I need to prevent Master Chu from getting diarrhea.]
I think it's hanging.
Chu Qiao simply used a leaf to clean the muddy lotus root, and the lotus root, which looked like a beautiful woman's arm, could no longer be hidden.
Chu Qiao cut the lotus root into five-millimeter-thick slices, stuck them on tree branches, grilled them over the fire, and placed the rest in a cool place.
She looked at the snow-white lotus roots. These lotus roots couldn't wait too long. According to the temperature here, the lotus roots would soon go bad. Chu Qiao didn't want Xiao Diao to get stuck in the mud again.
In order to maximize the use of these lotus roots, suitable utensils must be used. Chu Qiao wants to make a few pottery jars first.
To make a pottery pot, you first need to find clay that can be used to make pottery pots.
Chu Qiao led Xiao Diao to the lake. She picked up some soil from the cracks in the rocks and shook her head. "That won't work. The cohesive force between the clay particles creates stickiness. The larger the particles, the less sticky they are. So the soil we're looking for needs to have very fine particles if we want it to be sticky."
"The sand content in this soil is too high, which affects its viscosity. If the sand content is low, water will not easily pass through the soil, and the water seepage rate will be slow. Soil with good water retention properties is more suitable."
Chu Qiao continued walking deeper into the jungle. When he reached a valley, he would lower his head from time to time to touch the soil on this side and the soil on that side.
【Still can’t find it? 】
[I think Mr. Chu's idea of making a container has to be abandoned.]
[The anchor wants to make pottery? Daydreaming]
[Making pottery requires firing a kiln. Host, please stop being funny, okay? Any time?]
Even old fans think that making pottery in the wild is impossible, let alone new netizens.
But Chu Qiao was not affected by everyone and kept digging the soil in different places.
Xiao Diao suddenly growled and scratched something on the ground.
Chu Qiao turned his head and whispered, "Don't lose it, hurry up."
Xiao Diao still didn't move, Chu Qiao's expression became serious. Could it be that Xiao Diao discovered something?
Chu Qiao walked behind Xiao Diao and looked at his palm, which was constantly pressing something.
"What?"
Xiao Diao then moved his huge body aside, and termites in groups of three or two emerged from under his melon seeds.
Chu Qiao: "I'll catch it for you."
As he spoke, Chu Qiao picked up a wooden stick and stretched it towards the termites. The termites climbed up the stick and fell into Chu Qiao's trap.
"Open your mouth." Chu Qiao placed the wooden stick next to Xiao Diao's mouth, shook his hand, and the termites fell into Xiao Diao's mouth.
Chu Qiao looked at the group of termites and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Looking at the screen happily, "I know what kind of clay to look for."
Chu Qiao looked at the few remaining termites on the ground and followed them.
Although termites move slowly, their range of activity is not wide. Chu Qiao observed their movement patterns and saw a termite nest half a meter high.
The red anthill stood there, standing there like a stick.
The termites quickly returned to their nest.
What is Master Chu doing looking for termite nests?
[Are you trying to kill them again and wipe them out in one fell swoop?]
[It's very likely that Master Chu wants to eat something high in protein.]
Chu Qiao shook his head: "You guessed wrong this time. I only want the house this time, not the meat."
As she said this, she mercilessly kicked the side of the half-meter-high termite nest, and countless termites swarmed out like a stream of water.
[Oh my god, Master Chu, could you please remind me that I have trypophobia.]
[I can't stand it either. It's so scary.]
The termites rushing out of the nest made Xiao Diao happy. Mouse meat was not as dry and crispy as termites. The three or two on the ground were not enough to fill his teeth.
The little fox stretched out its tongue and swept through the swarms of white army. The termites stuck to its tongue and became its food.
"Ao——" Xiao Diao suddenly yelled and scratched his tongue with his hands.
Chu Qiao put down the soil in his hand and ran over nervously: "What's wrong?"
Only then did I see that the little cat's tongue had become red and swollen from being bitten by termites.
"Even ants will bite when they get angry."
Chu Qiao smiled and quickly pinched the termite that was fighting back desperately off the little tongue and threw it to the ground.
