Chapter 13 Snake of Flavor

It's fun to deal with fleas, but you have to go into the woods to shake off the worms.

Xue Miao and his friends were first rejected by the woodcutter Lao Yu. The short, flat-headed Lao Yu looked at the four educated youths in front of him in disbelief, "What can I do with these idiots? Why is there a girl? They run slowly, what if they get eaten by bugs?"

Xue Miao,... I'm not that bad.

After listening to Old Yu's popular science on the precautions for entering the forest for a whole morning, and then getting mosquito nets, leech-proof socks, and mosquito repellent, the quartermaster came over and pointed to a pile of things in the backpack, "That's all, eat carefully." There was only a bag of rice, a can of salt, a small bottle of rapeseed oil, and half a bag of dried chilies.

Xue Miao was confused, "That's all? That's all?"

"Yeah."

"We can't just eat rice."

"You can eat whatever you can find in the forest? What can we take out here? We can't let you go into the mountains with your head bare."

It seems that they are going to go on a week-long rainforest version of wilderness survival.

As expected, it was a jungle adventure. Xue Miao was about to cry after getting up early to set out. She was crossing one of the few pristine tropical rainforests in the motherland. The plants there were so dense that it was hard to imagine. Five minutes into the forest, the tall tree canopies that blocked out the sun blocked all the sunlight, and the light was completely dark. The deep and silent forest was creepy.

No one walked around all year round, and there were no roads in the forest. The roots of the common turtle bamboo were connected together with various unknown vines, as dense as a wall, so they could only cut bamboo while clearing the way. The eight of them covered themselves tightly and moved forward at a turtle speed in the hot and humid environment, sweating profusely.

Fortunately, the bamboo only blocked a section of the road, so everyone walked a little faster. Lin Zhengrong, who was walking in the second place, felt a little weak in his legs. He looked down and cried out, "Ah!" He saw that the white anti-leech socks on his legs were covered with a layer of black things, soft and squirming, which gave people goosebumps. "Is this... is this a leech? There are too many of them." Old Yu, who was leading the way, looked back and replied, "The ground is full of black things. It's this thing, this thing drills into your flesh and sucks blood, you can't feel it, and when it's full, it will fall off. If you don't wear this kind of socks, your blood will be sucked out before you even get to the place."

Zhang Junhui reacted: "No, the leech reacts slowly, you're fine if you walk in front, but the second person will suffer the most, you're bullying us."

Old Yu smiled cunningly, "Wear socks, what are you afraid of?" After saying that, he asked his young man to switch positions with Lin Zhengrong. Xue Miao understood that they didn't trust them, so they just scared them first. The experienced people here are the bosses, and they must be obedient to get out safely.

After walking for a whole morning, the water in the water bottles of several people were all gone. Seeing a stream in front of them, Lin Zhengrong wanted to go to get some water, but was stopped by Xue Miao. Are you looking for death? The forest is full of humus. Can the water be drunk directly? You have been here for so many years in vain, but you have no common sense of life at all.

Xue Miao chopped down a banana tree with a sickle, quickly picked out a banana heart, and handed it to several people. Banana heart is a treasure in the rainforest, which can satisfy hunger and quench thirst.
