Chapter 29: A More Distant Place

  Wang Yang made this wooden board, actually making a lid, mainly in order to cover the wooden bucket, not letting them take away the nuts.

  Of course, he is not covering his own wooden bucket, his bucket has holes, he is going to cover Zhang San's bucket.

  He dug a hole in the middle of the lid, the size of which was consistent with that of the wooden spear, and then dug another hole at the bottom center of the wooden bucket, also of the same size.

  Then he took two small wooden blocks and dug holes in them respectively.

  After connecting the hole at the bottom of the wooden bucket with a wooden spear and the lid, two small pieces of wood were knocked into both ends of the wooden bucket, successfully locking it.

  Having done all this, he called out to Zhang San who was watching from the side, indicating that he should learn from him, cutting the wooden board and sealing the wooden barrel.

  Zhang San, on the other hand, was very fond of imitating and didn't know if he had grasped Wang Yang's intention or not. He squatted down beside him and started to work.

  Wang Yang smiled contentedly and re-entered the forest with his equipment.

  This time entering the forest, no need to say more, is to find more sources of food.

  He came to the big tree with the mark from last time.

  Four arrows were carved on the trunk: down for back, up for front, and left and right for left and right.

  His purpose in doing this was to ensure that there were no omissions in the search area around him, and it also served as a small map.

  He first explores to the left.

  This area he has not explored, he has been walking in a straight line all along, and this area continues to the left foot of the mountain is still blank.

  Wang Yang walked in cautiously, still being very careful about places he hadn't explored before, stopping every three steps.

  This section is probably close to the foot of the mountain, the trees are not very tall, and the sunlight is more abundant. There are many weeds and shrubs on the ground, so you need to be extra careful when walking.

  Push aside the weeds under your feet and make sure there are no venomous snakes or scorpions lurking before proceeding.

  Slow is slow, but it's absolutely safe.

  After walking for a while, I didn't see any danger, it seems that this place is still the territory of saber-toothed tigers, and large animals generally don't come here.

  There were no large animals, but many small ones. He often saw snakes hanging from trees, and green, nameless creatures staring at him silently as they spat out seeds.

  There are also some chameleons, if you don't pay attention, they really can't be seen, their camouflage is very good.

  All the way down to the foot of the mountain, no fruit trees were found.

  He raised his head and looked up at this small hill which was probably about fifty meters above sea level.

  Under the blue outline, the green edge surrounds the blue sky, and the white clouds float gently, making it look carefree, like a frozen picture.

  This scene is even more beautiful than a photo processed with image processing software now.

  Wang Yang didn't have any sentimental feelings, he roughly scanned the surrounding area and didn't see any fruit trees at the foot of the mountain, so he gave up the idea of climbing the mountain.

  Along the original road back to under the fruit tree, on the left side of the arrow made a cross, then went right.

  The right side was also a temporary mountain, and the scope was not as large as the left side. Wang Yang only walked for a short time before arriving at the foot of the mountain.

  On a tree here, there is a beehive, and big yellow bees are buzzing.

  Wang Yang added a bit of lip service, but didn't dare take action.

  Because he found that at the foot of the mountain, 20 meters away from him, a majestic and powerful big black bear was staring at him with drool.

  Wang Yang narrowed his eyes slightly and judged the gap between the two sides.

  I am a 50 kg lightweight boxer, and my opponent is a 300 kg super heavyweight boxer. It's simply impossible to fight.

  And the other person's face is so dark, I estimate that he is extremely shameless, specializing in underhanded tactics, to the point where he has lost all sense of shame.

  Encountering such an opponent, there's only one word... run!

  If he ran straight away, Wang Yang wasn't sure if the big black bear wanted to eat him or the honey.

  Or... who wants to eat?

  To give the black bear a choice, Wang Yang narrowed his eyes, grasped a stone in his hand and shook it lightly.

  "Bang!"

  The beehive fell to the ground, and the yellow hornets suddenly went crazy, emitting a thunderous buzzing sound.

  The big black bear has thick and rough skin, is not afraid of the big yellow bee, sees the beehive fall down, accelerates and rushes over, picks up the beehive and tears it apart.

  The big yellow bee is crazily launching an attack, constantly stinging the big black bear.

  Wang Yang didn't hesitate any longer, turned around and quickly left with a swift movement of his feet.

  It seems that the big black bear chose honey.

  Back under the tree, Wang Yang raised his hand and carved a cross on the tree, and also wrote a bear character next to it, marking that side as the big black bear's haunt.

  There is nothing on the left, and there is nothing on the right, now all that's left is ahead.

  "The road ahead is very long..."

  Wang Yang faced the unknown world with utmost caution, and as he ventured deeper into the forest, it became increasingly unpredictable.

  He held a stone spear in his left hand and a wooden spear in his right hand, walking slowly forward.

  The sunlight ahead was blocked even more, the line of sight wasn't very broad, it felt like my eyes were covered with a thin layer of gauze, and I couldn't see very clearly.

  And it already has a tropical rainforest climate here, the air is very stuffy and humid, as if being pressed down by something, making people breathe hard.

  And the trees here have changed from those on the outskirts of the forest, which are mostly rough and dark, like the ones commonly seen everywhere today.

  The trees here have a much smoother surface, with colors ranging from deep to light, and a slightly dark greenish tint.

  Wang Yang's eyes lit up, and he was secretly excited: "Could it be that the bark of this kind of tree is similar to that of a willow tree, and can be used to make ropes?"

  Wang Yang stepped forward and carefully observed.

  The rope has always been what Wang Yang wants to make, and the simplest way is to find a rattan strip.

  If all else fails, it can be made from tree bark.

  However, not all tree barks can be made into ropes, only those with higher fiber content and better flexibility.

  This sets a big frame for the scope of acquisition.

  Of course, at first, Wang Yang thought like many others that a tree could be rubbed into a rope.

  As a result, he tried this method when he was very young, and the result of rubbing it out was not a rope, but grains like sand.

  At that moment, he realized that his understanding was too idealized and that he had thought things were too simple.

  That's why there is excitement now.

  If the bark of this tree is similar to that of a poplar, it can really be easily made into rope.

  The tree is only two meters high and is not very densely distributed, with one every dozen or so meters.

  The branches of the tree are only 20-30 cm thick, and the leaves resemble mulberry leaves with serrated edges, measuring 5 cm in length.

  The entire branch crown grew extremely strangely, suddenly deviating to the left at a position of one meter, and finally being exposed to sunlight.

  Wang Yang sighed, this kind of tree is unknown, but it has an extraordinary vitality and tenacity, for a little sunlight, completely bent waist.

  Walked forward, reached out and touched the branch, furrowed his brow and muttered to himself: "Soft?"
