Flipping out the tiny blade from her Swiss Army Knife, Gu Nianzhi patiently cut at the stubborn piece of bark clinging on As flexible as the bark was, it was nobark and co it in her hand, she knew it could be used as a cane, but the handle part was prickly with splinters, so it was uncomfortable in her palm She then picked another even smaller blade to carefully smooth out the top of the branch until it was silky and uniforone It feltto do was cut thebranch into several pieces to make a splint to secure her fractured left fibula That way, she could heal quickly and guarantee the bone would heal properly She didn’t want to get a li herself on her newly crafted cane, Gu Nianzhi stared at the youngtree for a long tith branch She carefully cut it off with her Swiss Aret a clean cut so that the tree could easily grow another branch After cutting it off the tree, Gu Nianzhi sat under the tree and used several pieces of thebranch to secure her left calf Then she pulled the laces out of her shoes to tie the branches onto her leg Her fractured leg felt much better after she attached thesplint to it, and for the rest of the day, she realized her leg didn’t hurt as , Gu Nianzhi was covered in sweat However, glancing at the cane in her hand and splint on her leg, Gu Nianzhi felt very acco up with Huo Shaoheng and all those years she had been attached to his leg, going everywhere he did Huo Shaoheng was only 22 at the tiirl Also, he only trained at the base, and it wasn’t classified, so he allowed her to follow Gu Nianzhi had run, trained, camped, and learned wilderness survival skills with hi everything she had learned
Wiping the sweat off her forehead with the back of her hand, she supported herself with her cane to stand up She planned to find water nearby to drink When she was researching the Königssee, she re that the Alps were actually the result of erosion fros formed from that period Since there was a little river nearby, there should be a spring source that for the river’s flow and the appearance of the trees in the area, Gu Nianzhi deter the river for 20flowing down from the top of the mountain Gu Nianzhi was so excited as she strode over She then laid down by the waterfall and took great gulps The water had the signature sweetness ofto her satisfaction, her only regret was not having a water bottle to store water in Now she had to co Although she was in such a ed to cheer herself up and pretended this was an accidental wilderness excursion After drinking water, Gu Nianzhi walked around to see what she could eat
She discovered that rew near where the riverin different shapes Gu Nianzhi roughly recognized there were at least three types of berries—black currants, blueberries, and blackberries She had had them before, but didn’t dare to eat any of the other ones because she orried they were poisonous She only ever had berries bought frorown by fruit farmers, so she didn’t know if the wild berries would taste any different As Gu Nianzhi contemplated, she picked handfuls of black currants, blueberries, and blackberries and put them in her pocket to wash in the river She then carefully picked up a blueberry to taste
Her pearly teeth bit into the plump berry The juice nearly exploded out, and the balanced flavor of sweetness and acidity instantly filled her mouth Gu Nianzhi hummed and shut her eyes as she drowned in the delicious taste It was so tasty, many times more delicious than the blueberries froanic fruit!
Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help stuffing one of each berry in her mouth In comparison, blueberries were sweet and sour, blackberries were sugary, and black currants were very tart Co all three berries created a spectacular new flavor! The sugary blackberries balanced the tartness of black currants, while the sweet tartness of blueberries was an embellishment to make it even tastier Gu Nianzhi was very satisfied fro them Vitamin C and anthocyanin-rich black currants killed bacteria and enhanced immunity, which was very appropriate for her current situation Although she didn’t like sour food, she had to eat more black currants in order to survive in this place After feasting on berries, Gu Nianzhi’sout her phone fro in front of her, she discovered the signal wasn’t great there, and no one had called or even texted her Gu Nianzhi renal was normal, but now there was only one bar left that flashed intere on it, so it should still last for now Gu Nianzhi didn’t feel discouraged because she believed the police would come rescue her What she needed to do was to survive here and not end up dead before the rescuers could even arrive
Carefully putting her phone back into the bag, she casually rus inside There was her Louis Vuitton wallet—it wasn’t too expensive but was very durable It didn’t wear, no matter what happened to it, and the pattern on the leather hadn’t faded, even after using it for several years Stuffed inside were all sorts of bank cards and credit cards, as well as so up at the prihed with a shake of her head What good would cash and cards do here?! What could she do? She was very desolate!
Looking at the iteain, she saw the one sanitary napkin she had a habit of carrying, the Swiss Ar of ipes, and inally planned to gift it to Huo Shaoheng, but this was perfect She didn’t need to pretend to be a cave wo wood Gu Nianzhi almost cried as she prayed to the sky The transition of humans from uncivilized cave dwellers to civilized people had occurred when they started to use fire Gu Nianzhi irier She had only taken a few sips of water and had a few berries since yesterday , but she didn’t plan to eat them now because she needed to save them for when she had no choice but to eat the under a tree to rest for a while, Gu Nianzhi decided to go to the river to try catching fish She cut a forked branch off a tree to fashi+on into a harpoon and used her cane to limp to the riverside The water was so clear that she could see the bottom of it, where different sized anchovies swam Gu Nianzhi sed hard as she stood on the riverbank She used her self- fish She wasn’t sure if the fish were stupid, or if she was skillfull, as she had harpooned several fish in no time
She limped between thetree and riverside, continuously ripping off branches until she finally built a tiny grilling rack Using the Swiss Army knife she carried, she scaled and cleaned the fish, then cut theans She skewered the cleaned fish on the tip of the branch and laid the rack She then ahter to start the fire When the e out loud One door opens when one closes When she picnicked with Huo Shao and his h she had never done it herself, she re it herself, she quickly got the hang of it, even though she was a bit unfa
Soon after, the aroma of food drifted over, and she salivated even olden roasted fish and opened her mouth to take a bite Ah! Yuck! It was bitter! Gu Nianzhi instinctively spat the fish out How could this be? She rerilled fish It was crispy on the outside and tender inside The fish was so tender, soft, and incredibly fresh Her own grilled fish…
Fine, although it looked golden on the outside, it had already burned inside So they may be a bit h than the fish cooked by Huo Shao and his men… Of course, it was bitter Could burned food not be bitter? Gu Nianzhi badly wanted to cry as she discarded the strange fish, then picked a new one to grill She didn’t know she was crisping the outside and burning the inside,it corilling fish After trying countless nurilled an edible fish!+ But when she was eating it, she noticed all the anchovies by the riverside had all swuet away froed herself in laughter
Shen looked at her left leg again It didn’t hurt at all anyrass, she stood up and rando now Although she still limped a bit, it wasn’t as serious as before Gu Nianzhi stared at her left leg for a while and internally ht not have had a fracture…? But she re of not being able to use her left leg at all It was really a fracture
It couldn’t have been muscle strain She was sure because she had strained her muscles before, and it was a different kind of pain Then she recalled rolling down fro her body Quickly pulling up her sleeve to check, she discovered her skin was s torn open earlier After thinking about it for a long time, she couldn’t understand what had happened, so she decided to put it aside for now After all, the ht noas to escape It wasn’t the ti to not be in pain
