Bi Fang added the brain matter to the mixture and then gently stirred it with a small twig, allowing the brain matter to fully integrate with the water before placing it directly into the fire to heat.
“Heating allows the raw hide to fully absorb the brain matter. If necessary, you can also immerse the animal hide directly in this mixture, but we don’t have a container to do that with.”
[Wow, can you really do that?]
[An old craftsman here, suggest applying for Intangible Cultural Heritage.]
[Won’t this burn through… I
[The person above, please redo middle school physics.]
After heating it up a bit, Bi Fang smeared the mixture of brain matter and water onto the rabbit hide. Once it was fully absorbed, he fashioned the animal hide into a pouch shape and tied it to a branch, continuing to smoke it over the fire.
“It’s best to add smoke-producing materials such as pine needles to the charcoal fire, then wait for several hours, making sure that no flames come off the charcoal fire, otherwise, the animal hide might get burned. After that, the hide becomes tanned and is ready to be made into clothing.”
Bi Fang planted the stick in the ground at just the right distance and, after saying goodbye to the audience, crawled into his shelter to sleep.
He had a premonition that whether or not he could survive might depend on the next day!
Wisps of grey smoke rose from the ashen fire pit, as clumps of earth were tossed into the fire.
“Hi everyone, I’m Bi Fang, a professional outdoor explorer…”
In the morning, wearing the rabbit fur hat, Bi Fang cleaned up the fire pit and started the live broadcast, intending to do his usual self-introduction, when the audience interrupted him.
On the screen, line by line, was precisely the self-introduction he’d prepared to say, word for word.
Bi Fang chuckled awkwardly, took off the rabbit fur hat from his head, and showed it to the audience: “After smoking it all night, the rabbit fur is now usable. I’ve fashioned it into a simple hat shape. I tried it on just now, and the effect is quite good. It’s much warmer, especially on a cold morning.”
Bi Fang then put the rabbit fur hat back on his head: “Generally, about 20% of a human’s body heat is lost through the head. So, if you are unbearably cold and you have an animal fur, making it into a hat is the right move!”
“This is my fourth day of survival. The first three days were like a roller coaster ride, thrilling but safe. I’ve encountered attacks from venomous snakes, eaten rabbit meat, and even faced an attack from a black bear on the third day, but I’ve come through it all.”
“I believe the journey ahead will be much simpler. As you’ve all seen, the terrain ahead is less variable, so I suspect this could very well be a conservation area!”
Bi Fang’s drone soared high, capturing the entire forest, then he pointed to the trees around him.
“Have you noticed that this forest is quite different from the ones we’ve passed through before, in terms of the selection of tree species and the spatial arrangement!”
“First off, it’s the size of the trees. The diameter of the trees here are all quite similar, and they are arranged in an orderly fashion, clearly planted around the same time, and of the same species – the yew, which is a common tree species in man-made conservation forests.”
Many viewers only realized the differences in this forest region after hearing Bi Fang point it out and couldn’t help but exclaim with admiration.
The light danced through the trees, and the path was much easier to walk than before.
Bi Fang continued on deeper into the forest when suddenly, a roaring sound arose, cutting through the layers of leaves and tree trunks to reach his ears.
The drone captured the sound waves, and everyone heard it, loud and clear, so familiar!
The noise came so suddenly and was so timely.
A car engine!
It was a car engine!
It was the sound of machinery, humans, civilization!
My God!
The heart thumped in his chest, pumping blood to his limbs.
Who knew how thrilled Bi Fang was in the desolate primeval forest, having finally heard the sound of human civilization after a full four days!
Without hesitation, Bi Fang broke into a full sprint, running desperately towards the direction of the engine noise!
[Damn, car noises!]
[There are people!]
[Is he saved?!]
[Damn, why am I so excited, I feel like crying.]
[Don’t say that, me too. 1 feel so heartbroken for Master Fang, it’s like I’m experiencing it myself. I
[Lord Mu gifted the host 10 Super Rockets—Congratulations to the host!]
[Old Demon Ling gifted the host 5 Super Rockets—Congratulations to the host!]
A barrage of rockets was launched, some from familiar tycoons and others from tycoons who had just appeared, and at this moment they all genuinely felt happy for Bi Fang!
Passing one redwood after another, the brightness ahead grew stronger and stronger, until he burst out of the woods!
Bi Fang looked at the large road beneath his feet, then at the departing big rig, feeling anxious in his heart, he shouted vigorously but received no response. He could only watch as the truck got further and further away.
At this time, not only Bi Fang but also the viewers in the live stream felt particularly sorry, it was so close!
Ah.
Bi Fang shook his head, he had succeeded in surviving but had not completely succeeded.
[It’s such a pity, just missed it by that little bit]
[Damn, is that driver deaf?I
[Can’t say that, maybe he just didn’t hear.]
“Yes, don’t say that about him,” Bi Fang quickly intervened when he saw someone cursing the driver, then smiled to show he wasn’t disappointed, “Anyway, we’ve found the road, and getting out is just a matter of time. As long as we follow the road, we will eventually encounter a car.”
And sure enough, before long, another truck loaded with logs came driving by, and Bi Fang immediately rushed forward to wave his hands.
[Quick, Host, charge! I
[Success or failure in one fell swoop!]
[Return to civilization!]
The audience became extremely excited upon seeing the truck.
The truck driver also saw Bi Fang and slowly brought the truck to a halt. However, he didn’t get out rashly but sat in the truck, looking wary.
In these remote mountains, suddenly a person blocking the way could be a robber, or maybe a poacher or a wood thief?
This is the stuff of TV dramas.
“What are you doing here?”
[Haha, that uncle definitely thinks the host is a thief!]
[Such a funny expression, that chubby uncle is so adorable.]
[Normal, you’ve got to be careful with strangers hitchhiking on the road; you never know who they might be! ]
[Right, better safe than sorry!]
Bi Fang could see that the other party didn’t trust him, so he raised his hands to show he wasn’t a threat, and shouted loudly, “Brother, I’m a tourist. I got lost in the Qinling and ended up here. Could you give me a ride out?”
“Lost?”
The chubby uncle was taken aback, looked at Bi Fang’s dust-covered face, his ragged clothes, and the rabbit hat on his head. Somewhat believing his story, his expression softened, “What’s that on top of your head?”
“This is a drone! Flave you seen one before, brother?” Bi Fang directed the drone to descend to let the truck driver have a clearer look.
“Is this a drone?” The chubby uncle looked carefully and realized it truly was, his curiosity was piqued about why Bi Fang would have a drone, but he didn’t doubt any further.
“Alright then, get in the truck.”
“Sure thing!”
Bi Fang, having received the driver’s permission, immediately ran over, opened the passenger door, and sat inside.
The driver, seeing Bi Fang’s dusty and weary appearance, handed him a bottle of water.
After traveling the whole morning, Bi Fang was indeed quite thirsty. He quickly thanked the driver, took over the water, and drank it all in big gulps, finishing the entire bottle.
“You’re also lucky to have gotten lost here. If you had gone deeper into the mountains, you might have ended up being eaten by wolves and bears!”
“Haha, brother, I ran out from the deep mountains!” Bi Fang exclaimed with relief after drinking water, pointing to the rabbit hat on his head, “Look at this hat, I caught this rabbit the day before yesterday!”
“What!”
The chubby driver’s eyes widened, looking at Bi Fang in amazement..
