Under the tree, Gu Lang looked at a badger that was spitting out pine nut shells while sliding down the tree, and he always felt that a bit of vulgarity began to emerge from him. Thinking of the performance of a certain squirrel just now, Gu Laosan's eyes naturally became weird.
"What are you looking at? I've never seen such a handsome badger!"
Wang Ping wanted to roll his eyes, but when he remembered that he no longer had the ability to roll his eyes, he simply spat a mouthful of pine nut shells at someone.
From a badger's invisible perspective, a gray squirrel hid in a dark tree hole, crying and counting the last few pine nuts left in front of it.
It’s over, it’s all over!
No matter how many times you count, the pine nuts won't increase.
As if giving up the idea of rescuing the animal, the mouse bent its body and looked much older. It picked up the remaining pine nuts, turned around, walked to the depths of the tree hole with its head down, and threw the pine nuts out.
Because of its location, Wang Ping's little arms couldn't reach here at all. Naturally, he couldn't imagine that the squirrel nest, which looked small on the outside, actually had a lot of secrets inside.
In front of the rat, a pile of pine nuts appeared at the deepest part of the tree hole, which was many times higher than the pile of pine nuts Wang Ping had touched just now. The few pine nuts thrown up rolled to the depths, like water drops merging into the sea, and disappeared. It can be seen that this is where the rat's real food is stored.
However, the little squirrel seemed to have no awareness of guarding the treasure at all. It came to the pile of pine nuts hummingly, and its slightly plump little body collapsed and it fell directly on the pile of pine nuts.
It's over! I can't live like this anymore!
A little squirrel thought in despair, with a blank look in his eyes, and hugged his fat tail in pain.
Wang Ping slid down the tree and put the waist bag he had thrown under the tree on his shoulders and put it on his back again. There were still some pine nuts left in his claws. After thinking for a while, Wang Ping opened the bag on his chest that contained the drone remote control and put the pine nuts in it.
Gu Laosan is unreliable, but keeping these pine nuts with you can help you keep going when you are hungry.
Just as he was about to call Gu Lao San to leave, he saw this guy approaching and stretched out his hand in front of Wang Ping. There was still a small piece of pine nuts in his hand.
"Here, I'll give you all these too." Gu Lang said with a smile.
"This guy didn't finish eating?" Wang Ping was stunned, with surprise and confusion on his face.
"I left it for you because I was afraid you wouldn't have enough to eat."
As if he had noticed the badger's confusion, Gu Lang explained.
"How could you be so kind?" Wang Ping was a little unconvinced, but the pine nuts in front of him were real.
"Forget it, you still have a conscience!"
Holding the pocket of his waist bag, Wang Ping let Gu Lang put the pine nuts in it and gave him a rare good look.
In fact, the anchorman was having a hard time biting it. The shells of wild pine nuts, especially those just picked by a mouse, are much harder than those bought on the market because they are new.
After just a few pine nuts, Gu Lang felt a dull pain in his gums, fearing that his teeth would be knocked out. Someone secretly decided that next time he went out to do such a live broadcast in the wild, he must bring a hammer to crack pine nuts.
The man and the badger set out again along the mountain. Perhaps inspired by the little squirrel, Wang Ping was not just on the road when he walked again. His dark eyes moved around, observing whether there was anything to eat around, or whether there were any traces of other squirrels on the horsetail pines he passed by.
As for game, even if Wang Ping could catch some small animals, he would not dare to make a fire and barbecue in this coniferous forest full of pine resin, unless a badger was willing to eat it raw. But as for food, in addition to game, there are plenty of things to put in your mouth in Daxing'anling.
Although Wang Ping was good at playing outdoors, this was his first time in Daxing’anling. He didn’t recognize many of the wild fruits that were unique to the mountains and forests of Northeast China. So even if they came across them, the two rookies didn’t dare to try them easily.
And another problem arises.
Wang Ping was fine, but Gu Laosan hadn't drunk much water since last night, and the water he brought in the car had already been drunk up. Coupled with the huge amount of physical strength and sweat consumed in the climb, someone was now extremely thirsty, and his entire lips began to dry up.
"Boss, let's find some water nearby..." someone said in a depressed tone.
Although netizens could not see Gu Lang in the live broadcast room, they could hear his voice. On the screen, a badger stopped in place because of Gu Lang's shouting and turned back to look at the camera. Its small body looked a little dirty because of a lot of rosin and fallen leaves. Many netizens felt distressed and completely forgot how the badger bullied the little squirrel in front.
"The lousy anchor is hugging the pet's thigh online"
"+1 for the crappy anchor"
"Ping Lao Da: I suffered too much when I was young"
"I laughed at the fact that I relied on my pet to find water to drink."
“Water shortage is a big problem”
"I told you not to come to Daxinganling to seek death. It's still not too late to leave the mountain now."
"That's right, it's fine if he's asking for his own death, but he's also implicated our Boss Ping."
"Boss Ping doesn't get any benefits from following the anchor, he just has to endure hardships"
“I feel so sorry for Pingping!”
“Heartbroken +1”
"I feel sorry for you +10086"
Gu Laosan was losing a lot of energy at the moment, and he didn't care about the comments, otherwise he would be angry to death. What's the matter with this unbalanced tone? Who is the boss between me and a badger? Don't you have any sense
"Looking for water..."
Wang Ping stopped where he was and pondered for a moment.
In this kind of mountainous terrain, especially in the cold temperate coniferous forest, it is definitely not possible to rely on the method of finding water in the wild on the plains.
In fact, despite the lush vegetation in the mountains and forests, it is very difficult to find water.
First, the plants are too dense to judge based on the root growth direction. Second, the forest blocks the view, so the field of vision is limited to a small area around you.
Of course, there is one thing that is common to the method of finding water sources on the plains, that is, to follow the footprints of large animals. However, this method is also very risky. After searching all the way to the end, it is difficult to guarantee that you will find a water source or a nest.
It was already past mid-morning, the sun was shining into the woods, and the thick fog had long since dissipated. It was too late to collect dew at this time.
Although someone can also use a tablet to view the map, the water source will always be marked on the satellite map. But now, before even one-third of the 20 kilometers have been walked, Gu Laosan is so tired that he looks like he is dying. Wang Ping really can't consider those water sources that are more than ten kilometers away on the map.
That leaves only one last trick.
Wang Ping raised his hand and untied the Velcro on the side of his waist bag, then lowered the drone behind him and cleaned the dirt and fallen leaves off the blades. He planned to bypass the limited vision in the woods and conduct a high-altitude reconnaissance.
"Huh? That's right! I can use the drone to check if there are any streams around! The boss is smart enough to bring it with him!"
Gu Lang saw Wang Ping's action, stepped forward quickly, and directly reached out to take the waist bag of a badger.
"What?" Wang Ping was stunned for a moment, then turned around and started to grin: "What the hell are you doing? Who said I'm going to give it to you?"
"Ha! Brothers and sisters, I'm saved! Did you see the drone my eldest brother is carrying? This is a device sponsored by our Douyu, and it's just right for exploring the surrounding terrain. Whether we can find a water source nearby depends entirely on it!"
Gu Lang didn't notice the badger's dissatisfaction at all. While explaining to the netizens in the live broadcast room, he untied his waist bag and took out the drone and remote control.
"Hello! Hello?"
Wang Ping stretched out his claws weakly, but only got an empty bag back. His face was suddenly full of confusion.
"That's what I was going to use! I still need to fly up! Gu Laosan, you bastard are so disloyal!"
