Chapter 46 Vine Fruit
...
Not far from the cave, is the crooked tree.
Huge canopy hanging outside the cliff.
A giant vine with a waist thickness was wrapped around the tree, like a giant python, with dozens of meters of vines scattered on the branches of the big tree, with many golden and red wild fruits hanging on it.
This is the kind of fruit that fell into the pool under the cliff yesterday.
There is only one nearby of this kind of fruit, and there is no other semicolon. Because the place is extremely dangerous, no one dares to pick it on weekdays. If you get one or two, you will definitely cherish it and hide it and eat it secretly.
The fruits on the vines are green when they are not ripe, slightly sour, but after eating them, they will become a sweet and taste very strange. After ripening, they will turn golden red. If they are completely ripe, they will turn purple-red. If they are not eaten by birds, they will fall off naturally and fall under the cliff. They can only miss such delicious fruits.
This place is very close to the cave, so Xu Chen often sees it when he comes and goes. Sometimes a group of children will come here to wait for the rabbit to pick up some fallen fruits.
However, there are few opportunities for this kind of fruits, because almost all the fruits are hanging outside the cliffs, and a few of them may fall into the woods unless they are windy or rainy.
Therefore, on the first day of traveling through time, Xu Chen gave him a green one, and then he picked up a fallen one in the canyon yesterday.
And since he tasted the wonderful taste of this wild fruit ripening yesterday, he has been completely unable to let go.
Unfortunately, this place is more dangerous than the cliff of Milk Fruit.
However, after being humiliated by a group of monkeys yesterday, Xu Chen was a little angry.
Damn, I am a time traveler after all. It would be fine if I can't beat the monkey. I can't even eat a few wild fruits, so I might as well jump off the cliff and commit suicide.
So he stood under the tree and watched for a long time, climbed along the thick trunk to the edge of the cliff, and then climbed up the giant vine as thick as his waist, and finally found that he could not eat the dog's god.
There are more than ten meters below this vine, which is completely bare. It is not ordinary difficulty to climb up.
Even if I climbed up, I almost hanged outside the cliff. If I accidentally fell down, it would be completely cold and the corpse could not be retrieved.
"Chenga, go down... down... puff!"
Seeing Xu Chen climbing up the tree desperately, Gu Heju and the others were frightened and stood under the tree and shouted desperately.
Mr. Puli, can you say some auspicious words?
Xu Chen climbed up about one meter hard, and finally his hands and feet were sore and had to slip down slowly.
It’s not that he can’t climb up, it’s that he can’t climb up.
When I was a child, my skills of climbing trees and digging bird nests in rural areas have completely deteriorated.
"Go back and find a way!"
Xu Chen came down from the tree angrily, looked back at the fragrant wild fruits hanging on the tree, and took Gu Heju home to find a solution.
If this big tree grows straight upward, there is no cliff next to it. Even if it is difficult to climb, it is not too difficult to live in these primitive savages. There will always be a way to eat if you want to eat.
But it was because of the dangerous position that it could only sigh and admire the fish in the abyss.
It’s not that I don’t want to eat, it’s that I don’t dare to take risks.
However, Xu Chen once climbed a place that was more dangerous than this, relying on ropes and climbing equipment.
As long as there are ropes that are strong enough, it is not impossible to eat these wild fruits.
So Xu Chen went back and found all the ropes stored in the cave, a lot of them, but these ropes were not too thick, because they were rubbed out by several tools by their hands, and they were usually used to tie something or make a rattan basket strap.
But what Xu Chen needs is a safety rope that can withstand a person's weight.
Thin ropes are rubbed, thick ropes are twisted.
There is a saying that everyone twists together with force.
Actually, it is about the process of making thick hemp ropes.
A thick rope is composed of at least three strings. First, one of them is used as a rib, tighten and straighten, and then twist the other two strings one by one. After twisting, loosen and stroke it several times. After the three strings rebounded under strong torque, they were completely twisted together, and they became a thicker rope.
A cable is a thick rope made of hemp rope repeatedly.
According to the strength of the bark rope, three strands of the index finger are twisted together enough to lift the weight of an adult.
If you use two, you can definitely ensure safety.
Therefore, under Xu Chen's command, the three of them began to twist ropes by the woods.
Gu Heju didn't know what Xu Chen did to twist the rope, but as the most loyal followers, the two generally would not express any opinions and would do whatever they wanted. They were honest and honest and made Xu Chen's teeth itchy.
The crooked tree is very tall, most of which stretches out outside the cliff.
Therefore, the safety rope should not be too short, and according to Xu Chen's judgment, it will take at least fifty meters.
Twisting the rope is much slower than rubbing the rope, but now he has more time.
Because in this primitive era, there was really nothing to do except find something to eat.
In the next few days, Xu Chen and Gu Heju were competing with the bark rope. With the continuous efforts of the three of them, the two long ropes were finally twisted.
The eggs are very thick and very strong. I found a big tree in front of the cave and climbed up and made a swing. I went back and forth for a day without any damage.
The appearance of the swing made Ye and a group of children very happy, and they rushed to climb on it and were reluctant to come down.
A group of adult men and women were also amused and crying. Seeing Xu Chen and the other two get up early and work hard for a few days, they made a few ropes so thick and long, but they didn't expect to be just making a toy.
And Gu Heju also thought this was the case, and he kept praising Xu Chen for playing.
In addition to the safety rope, Xu Chen spent another day making a hanging basket with a thin rope and a rattan basket, and also prepared a slender wooden pole and a fishing net.
Net-fishing is the kind of net-fishing used for fishing. There is a round frame in front of the wooden handle and a small net bag made of hemp rope is installed under it.
Everything was ready, and Xu Chen took Gu Heju to the crooked tree next to the cliff.
When he heard that Xu Chen was going to pick the valley with a crooked neck tree, a group of children cheered, while Mother Ba and a group of women were nervous and stopped him from going. However, Xu Chen pointed to the ropes and tools he had prepared and explained repeatedly, saying that there would be no danger, but the group of women were still worried and left their jobs to go to the scene with them.
So this activity of picking wild fruits became a throng, and a large group of people quickly came to the front of the crooked tree.
However, today's main force in picking fruits is Gu Heju.
Because he couldn't climb up the bare giant vine under the big tree.
But this is not a big deal for Gu Heju.
For safety reasons, Xu Chen repeatedly explained to the two people the use of safety ropes and the use of long poles and net bags.
After they understood, the two of them were already excited and excited. They tied the safety rope and climbed up the big tree. Then they spitted a few mouthfuls of saliva into their palms, and climbed up along the giant vine as thick as their waists.
A group of people stood under the big tree and watched them climb to the fork of the canopy.
At this time, the two of them had already left the cliff, and only a group of women were constantly exclaiming.
The two of them tied the safety rope firmly to a tree trunk in a safe position according to Xu Chen's instructions, and then put down the thin rope and pulled the hanging basket up.
After everything was ready, he held the wooden pole and net bag and continued walking outside the cliff along the slanted branches. Gu Ze tightly held the safety rope behind him and slowly put it forward.
In fact, in Xu Chen's opinion, it is not difficult to get the fruits on this tree.
The main reason is the limitation of conditions, and the lack of necessary safety tools and picking methods.
But now everything is ready.
Next, we will mainly look at Gu Heju’s courage and performance.
The trunk of the tree is very thick, and even the main trunk hanging outside the cliff is two meters thick, which is exactly the same as a small path, but the branches are intertwined with vines, so it is not easy to walk. In addition, holding a long pole and wood in your hand, you need to be more careful.
Fortunately, these primitive people were scared since childhood and dared to fight with wild wolves. Although there were hundreds of meters of cliffs below, because of the safety rope, the two of them were so brave that they could almost ignore this danger.
In addition, the two of them now have unconditional trust in Xu Chen.
Such a thick rope was tied to their bodies, in their eyes, they would definitely not be able to fall even if they were to make mistakes.
As they lifted further and further away, they gradually disappeared into the huge canopy of trees and could hardly see them. A group of people stood under the tree even more nervous and heart-wrenching.
"Pu~Pu~Pu~Pu~"
In the middle of the thick tree canopy, a person can be seen knocking around with a wooden pole, and then accompanied by the screams of a group of children and adults, he saw fruits falling down continuously.
"Net Ga, Net Ga!"
Gu, who was holding the safety rope, saw it more clearly, and jumped on the tree branch in a hurry and shouted.
“#¥@%…”
A very impatient sound came from the beat of the fruit, but the beat of the beat was paused for a moment, and then it began to swell again. Not long after, I saw the chung slowly walking back. When the branches were wide, a group of children under the tree cheered.
