Surviving Endless Disasters

Remove the head and claws, and peel off the smooth fur.

The fur of bamboo rats is soft and can be tanned into leather to make comfortable leather shoes. However, Wen Zheng does not have this skill. Even if he is careful with his hands, he still cannot control the strength. The bamboo pieces are not sharp enough, and the axe is too sharp. In the end, the bamboo rat skin is tattered and almost loses its value.

Even so, Wen Zheng is reluctant to discard it. No resources can be wasted. He wraps the bamboo rat skin with the banana leaves he brought with him.

The internal organs and head are also not suitable for eating. Wen Zheng, who is not in a food crisis at present, buried them all underground. Only three bare bamboo rats are left, wrapped in leaves and carried around.

The bamboo was cut down by the axe, and a trickle of clear water flowed out. That is because the temperature difference between morning and evening forms condensation water inside the bamboo. There is also a waterproof film inside the bamboo, which can prevent water loss and is an excellent source of fresh water.

When you go to the bamboo forest, shake the bamboo with water. If you can hear a rustling sound, it means there are bamboo leaves in the bamboo. Use the fire you brought to carefully light it, and soon a pile of firewood will burn.

The entrance of this bamboo rat's cave is straight down, so there is no need for too much trouble. Just move the fire to the entrance of the cave, add some wet bamboo leaves on it, and thick black smoke will come out. Then use a wide bamboo piece to gently fan the wind, and the pungent black smoke will enter the cave, forcing the bamboo rat to escape from it.

When Wen Zheng's eyes were a little red from the smoke, the bamboo rat finally couldn't hold it back, and ran out of the cave in a daze, and then met a hunter who was waiting for the rat in the cave, and was pinched by the tail.

Wen Zheng, who was quick-handed and quick-eyed, caught the first captive. The captive had not yet realized his situation, and his claws danced quickly to make a running posture.

The bamboo rat following behind didn't know the danger outside, and ran out immediately, and was also lifted into the air.

Wen Zheng was very happy with a captive in each hand. At this moment, he saw the third bamboo rat running out of the cave. Even though both hands were not free, Wen Zheng did not want it to escape. He kicked hard, and the third bamboo rat was pressed to the ground by the stone. It screamed and fainted.

Wen Zheng did not expect that he dug a hole and harvested three bamboo rats.

Now the question is.

Which of the three is male and which is female? Should I kill them for lunch or take them back to raise them? Chapter 26 With a sharp fire axe in hand, it is not difficult to cut bamboo. Soon a circular open space with a radius of three meters was cleared, and the cut bamboos were piled together. Wen Zheng nodded, and the number of these bamboos was almost the same.

Wen Zheng needed to take the bamboo back, but the long bamboo was not convenient to transport, and he needed to spend a lot of time to simply process these bamboos.

Before processing, a slightly safe and open campsite should be arranged in the bamboo forest.

The bamboo whips and roots of the bamboos occupy the soil underground, and the overlapping bamboo leaves monopolize the sunlight. This environment is not suitable for the growth of other plants, so the ecosystem of the bamboo forest is often relatively simple.

There are only a few scattered trees in this bamboo forest, and some fungi that Wen Zheng cannot identify and dare not eat, and other than that, there are different kinds of insects.

There is no need to worry about insects. Every day when he wakes up in the shelter, Wen Zheng can see small creatures crawling on the ground. What he is worried about is the common animals in the bamboo forest - snakes, especially in places where bamboo rats exist. Snakes that use rats as food are often not absent.

The tall bamboos around were cut down. Wen Zheng collected the fallen leaves of Wang Ku and circled the circle of the camp. The arrival of snakes is usually silent, but under the special precautions of humans, they can hardly hide their traces.

Any creature with a certain weight that wants to get close must pass through those fragile dead leaves that will easily break with force, and the sound is enough to alert Wen Zheng.

Today's task is to sort out these bamboos and move them back to the shelter. Of course, lunch will be solved in the bamboo forest. The ingredients are no longer seafood, but freshly caught bamboo rats and freshly dug bamboo shoots.

When catching three bamboo rats, Wen Zheng was inevitably a little excited, but he soon sobered up and gave up the idea of ​​raising bamboo rats.

The meat of bamboo rats is tender and rich in nutrition. Raising bamboo rats has become a popular delicacy on the human table.

In modern society, many people want to get rich by raising bamboo rats. After careful understanding, they will find that raising bamboo rats is much more difficult than raising chickens and ducks.

The breeding cycle of bamboo rats is not short. To create an environment suitable for bamboo rats to survive, they need to be fed several times a day. After giving birth to young bamboo rats, the mother bamboo rat is likely to give up feeding, so the breeder has to take over.

The most troublesome thing is the problem of captivity. Bamboo rats are best at digging holes. Whether it is claws or incisors, they are good helpers for them to escape.

It is impossible to lock up bamboo rats with wood or bamboo. Their incisors can even bite off thin wires.

Those farms all use cement to build rat ponds, and even bricks can't stop their sharp claws from escaping.

The incisors should not be underestimated either, not to mention the simple woven cages, even thin wires may be bitten off.

In modern society, when breeding bamboo rats, a huge amount of energy must be spent on preventing bamboo rats from escaping. Wen Zheng, who stayed on the deserted island, had to give up this idea.

There must be more than just this nest of bamboo rats living in this large bamboo forest.

It is obviously a better idea to catch or set traps occasionally than to breed them yourself.

Bamboo rats are relatively large, with their heads and necks being the same size as their bodies. The whole rat is a round ball, which looks cute, but in Wen Zheng's eyes, it is fat and may not be eaten in one meal.

Among the three bamboo rats he caught, two were as big as small cats, weighing about four or five pounds. The last one that escaped was slightly smaller, and was hit on the head by a stone. When Wen Zheng went to pick it up, he found that it was not knocked unconscious, but killed by the stone.

Nothing could trap a living bamboo rat, so Wen Zheng could only kill it on the spot.

Although he had never killed a rat, Wen Zheng had handled chickens, ducks, fish and meat, and the processing of ingredients was often similar.

Remove the head and claws, and peel off the smooth fur.
