The little dumpling is five and a half years old, which made his father so angry that his head split

Liu Wei is the most qualified to decide where to station troops.

He was also a pioneer.

Li Tian and the others came to learn, and they liked to ask questions about anything they didn't know.

Liu Wei didn't mind the trouble and shared everything he knew without reservation.

"On a rocky mountain, just choose a sheltered spot."

"But there are more factors to consider in the forest."

"First, the ground must be dry, avoiding riverbanks, valleys, and low-lying areas. During the rainy season, be prepared for flash floods, and during the dry season, be prepared for nighttime flooding."

"Secondly, it's best to stay out of the wind. The wind is strong along the ridgeline, so you should look behind large rocks or in a valley."

"Another important factor is proximity to a water source for easy access to water. Ideally, it should be within 100 meters of a stream, but not on a riverbank."

Li Tian has her own life plan; she wants to join the army.

Once you join the army, you must strive to become a top soldier.

Mastering these wilderness survival skills early on is always beneficial.

Li Muchen believed that having more skills was never a bad thing.

Every practical skill might just be the life-saving one in a critical moment.

Shen Yi listened attentively. His grandfather was getting old; how many more years could he stay with him? He needed to learn as many skills as possible, like a sponge absorbing water.

Although they take different paths, they all lead to the same goal: to improve themselves.

Around 5 o'clock, Liu Wei found an open space with a clear stream a few dozen meters away.

After settling everyone in, Liu Wei went to chop wood and go hunting.

Before he left, Li Tian made a clear point.

You can only catch wild boars, rabbits, and pheasants—animals with high reproductive rates and large numbers. You can't touch anything else.

Even if the current laws are not perfect and are not properly enforced, they cannot knowingly violate them.

Skipping a meal of meat might mean saving a litter of protected animals.

Upon hearing that it was illegal, Liu Wei naturally wouldn't touch those animals.

I was originally thinking of catching a millet or a civet cat for them to try.

Old Shen remained silent; he strongly agreed with Li Tian's view.

This includes the claim made by Wang Shijia about artificially cultivating medicinal herbs.

Compared to animals, humans already have an absolute survival advantage. As long as the benefits are large enough, many, many people will go crazy.

Even if only a few humans go mad, animals will have little chance of survival.

After Liu Wei left, the teenagers took charge of filtering the water and boiling it.

Old Mr. Shen is old, so all he needs to do is look after the luggage.

The stream was very clear, and there was no obvious decaying matter to be seen.

However, surface water is still safest to drink after being filtered.

The filter was already prepared and ready to use.

The first few rinses of water are not acceptable.

Once the water that had flowed through the sand, charcoal, and pebbles was completely clear, they filtered it directly into the pot.

Once we have firewood, we can boil water to drink.

Filters only remove large impurities from the water, but they cannot kill bacteria or parasite eggs.

It needs to be boiled for a few more minutes after boiling before it can be drunk.

Li Muchen was in charge of holding the filter, while Shen Yi was in charge of pouring the water.

Li Tian was responsible for fetching water from the stream.

They need to filter the water for quite a while before they can get any.

Li Tian had a relatively relaxed schedule.

"Do you think there are fish in this water?"

Shen Yi saw that Li Tian was only observing from the shore, but still spoke up to remind her.

"Tian Tian, ​​don't go into the water, what if there are leeches in the water?"

Bloodsucking leeches.

Just hearing that name sends chills down my spine.

Li Tian was only thinking about whether there were any ways to catch fish; she had no intention of going down into the water to play.

"The water's so cold, I'm not going to go in."

"By the way, Shen Yi, what do you do if leeches get stuck on your legs?"

Shen Yi thought for a moment, then said while adding water.

"The first thing is prevention, to avoid getting leeches on your body."

"Wearing high boots and tucking your pants in can effectively prevent this."

"Also, leeches like to stay in damp grass and piles of fallen leaves, so try to avoid stepping on these places."

"If a leech has already landed on your body, never try to pull it off!"

"The consequence of forcibly pulling it out is that the leech's suckers and mouthparts break off inside the skin, causing skin infection and ulceration."

"Do you know why we're bringing salt this time?"

Shen Yi kept everyone in suspense for a moment.

"Besides being used in our diet, salt is a powerful tool for dealing with leeches."

"Sprinkle salt on the leeches, and they will automatically shrink and fall off. It'll be done in a few breaths."

"If you don't have salt, you can also shake the bite out by vigorously patting the skin around the bite."

"Remember, don't panic, and don't try to pull it out with your hands."

"Also, it's normal for leech bites to bleed temporarily, but you can stop it by applying a little pressure with gauze. It's nothing serious."

Li Tian cupped his hands in greeting.

"Brother, I've learned a lot. Having a doctor by my side makes me feel much more at ease."

Shen Yi blushed slightly, too embarrassed to look at Li Tian.

Li Muchen spotted it with his sharp eyes and glared at his brother.

He said in a low voice, "Don't overthink it, kid. My sister was just thanking me politely, that's all."

Shen Yi smiled and shook his head.

"I can still think about it, after all, we are not related by blood."

Li Muchen snorted coldly and stood up.

"It's more realistic to think more about your medical books; otherwise, you won't have the chance to stand by her side in the future."

Shen Yi wasn't annoyed and squatted down with a smile.

They switched jobs.

Li Muchen is right. He lacks the ability to stand by Li Tian's side based solely on the pure friendship of their youth.

Even if you can only ever be friends, it's not right to shamelessly try to climb up to someone you can't keep up with.

Li Tian is not even ten years old, but she already outperforms a group of older students in her studies.

He comes from a good family, is smart, and is willing to endure hardship.

What about ten or twenty years from now?

Her future is truly unpredictable.

He was destined to become a doctor.

The only way is to find a way to go higher and further on this path.

Fortunately, he started from a high level, already standing on his grandfather's shoulders.

With a grandfather, support, and resources.

Li Tian ignored their playful fighting; she had already seen fish in the stream.

Where there are fish, there is hope of having fish soup.

Since she didn't have a fishing hook, she decided to make a simple net.

Li Tian returned to her luggage, put on gloves, and went to pick some dry grass and vines to prepare to weave a net.

When Old Shen learned of her plan, he stepped in to help.

Whether or not they catch any fish is secondary; the important thing is that the kids have fun.

Moreover, this isn't just a simple game.

Trying to catch fish with a simple net requires a variety of skills.

With Mr. Shen's help, the work was done much faster.

This simple net doesn't need to be too big.

Li Tian took a bamboo pole for traveling and used dry grass to fix the net to the bamboo pole.

The fishing tools were thus completed.

It's difficult to catch fish while standing on the shore; you have to stand in the middle of the water.

Li Tian was not prepared to go barefoot into the water.

She didn't want to have the potential to cause menstrual cramps later in life.

The mountain is full of stones, some of which are materials for tiptoeing.

I picked up some large, well-shaped stones and threw them into the water, then walked across step by step.

Like a hunter, Li Tian stood firm and stopped moving around.

Waiting for the fish to walk into the net.

Li Tian was very focused, carefully observing the very slight swaying in the gently flowing water.
