Chapter 9 Rainwater Harvesting
Xiao Ning took matters into his own hands, dug a pit, buried the skeleton in it, and built a grave bag with stones and inserted a piece of wood.
After doing all this, Xiao Ning bowed seriously, which can be regarded as a tribute to the unknown victim.
Xiao Ning guessed that this person was at least a hundred years ago, and for some reason he was stranded on this desert island, and according to the records in his diary, he should have many companions.
Perhaps, it won't be long before Xiao Ning finds the "corpses" of his companions elsewhere.
"Oh, why is there only one bed, how do you sleep at night?"
After removing the skeleton, Chen Ling became very grinning again, not afraid of dirty, patted the dust off the straw mat, and sat down.
"Four people, squeezing should be enough, this bed is quite big. Tong Yiyi was supported by Chen Xue and said.
"Damn, you let us sleep with Xiao Ning, he's a man!" Chen Ling's eyes widened.
"It's okay, I believe Captain Xiao Ning is a good person. Tong Yiyi's face turned red and said.
"I'd rather believe that a sow will go up a tree than that Shawning is a good person. Chen Ling pursed his lips.
After burying the skeleton, Xiao Ning heard the conversation of the three daughters as soon as he came back, in fact, he was still quite excited, and he had a little desire to "sleep with the three girls".
"Let's sleep in the three beds tonight, let Xiao Ning lay on the floor, or sleep outside. Chen Ling continued.
"Well, isn't it, okay? Why don't you two squeeze together, and I'll sleep between Captain Xiao Ning and the two of you?" Tong Yiyi said weakly.
"Xiao Ning, what kind of medicine did you take, you shouldn't like him, right?" Chen Ling looked at Tong Yiyi with a suspicious expression.
"I didn't ...... No, Captain Xiao Ning worked so hard that he couldn't let him lay on the floor. Tong Yiyi turned his head away, and his voice was like a mosquito and a fly.
"I don't care, if Xiao Ning dares to go to bed, I will break all three of his legs!" Chen Ling snorted lightly.
Xiao Ning, who was standing outside the door eavesdropping, suddenly shuddered, feeling cold below, with Chen Ling's character as a little tiger girl, he could really do this!
"Ahem......" Xiao Ning coughed a few times and walked in.
Chen Ling and the others immediately stopped the topic, but how did they know that Xiao Ning had already heard their conversation clearly.
"I've found some earthen pots outside, maybe we can make a simple rainwater harvesting device, you guys can help. Xiao Ning said to the third girl.
When it comes to the issue of water sources for survival, the three girls did not hesitate and walked towards the door.
"Yiyi, your leg injury is not healed, rest in the house. Xiao Ning said to Tong Yiyi.
"I can, I'm fine. Tong Yiyi's eyes were firm, she also wanted to help, and she didn't want to become a burden to the group.
"Alright then, then you don't have to do too much work for a while. Xiao Ning nodded, not wanting to discourage Tong Yiyi's enthusiasm.
Xiao Ning picked up a stone, polished it, and tore off a few strips of cloth on his body, only making a simple stone axe.
This axe is quite easy to use, and Xiao Ning cut down three thigh-thick trees one after another.
Xiao Ning then split one of the trees in the middle and split it in half.
Xiao Ning found another suitable stone and hollowed out the center of the tree, so that it looked like a pipe had been split in half.
"The vines are coming! The vines are coming!" After a while, Chen Xue and the others also completed the task assigned by Xiao Ning and found the vines.
Xiao Ning nodded, took the vine, and tied the packed half of the wooden pipe to the eaves of the treehouse.
In this way, if it rains, the rainwater will run down the wooden pipes.
At the other end of the wooden pipe, Xiao Ning placed several earthen pots, and the rainwater could be collected in the earthen pots.
However, this is not enough!
They had to make a bigger container to store the rainwater!
After all, the devil knows how long it will take for the next rain to take after a heavy rain.
"I'm going to get some seawater, don't run around here. Xiao Ning said.
Although it is very likely that he will bump into Tan Guoan's deflated calves when he goes back, Xiao Ning must go back, he needs water to make a cistern.
Xiao Ning went all the way back to the beach, and unexpectedly found that there was no one, and Tan Guoan and they didn't know where they went.
Xiao Ning hurriedly used the container he brought, filled it with seawater, and ran back.
After returning to the tree house, Xiao Ning poured half of the seawater on the soil, then dug up the wet and soft soil with his hands, and dug a pit more than two meters in diameter and more than one meter deep.
Xiao Ning frowned slightly, feeling that this was not enough, so he poured the rest of the seawater into it.
Finally, a pit with a diameter of more than three meters and a depth of more than two meters appeared.
Eighteen cubic meters of water storage, full once, in the case of relative savings, based on four people to calculate, with a month and a half, is still barely enough.
Xiao Ning stood in the dirt pit, smoothing the mud on the four walls with his hands.
Chen Ling thought it was funny, and also jumped into the dirt pit to join in, and Chen Xue also came down to help when he saw this.
Tong Yiyi hesitated, covered her wound with clothes, and climbed down.
At first, a few people were working there quite seriously, and they looked like that.
But after a while, as Chen Ling pressed a mud slap mark on Chen Xue's chest, the style of painting began to change.
The two girls instantly started a mud fight, and Chen Ling obviously didn't intend to let Tong Yiyi go, so he pulled Tong Yiyi in as well, turning it into a three-way scuffle.
Once a woman plays and releases her nature, she is really wild and crazy, and Chen Xue's clothes have been pulled down by Chen Ling several times.
Of course, it was mainly the wet mud that played a lubricating role, so the clothes fell off as soon as they were pulled.
Xiao Ning watched with blood boiling on the side, these three chicks are too tiger, right?
However, the mentality is still commendable, which is very helpful for the subsequent survival of the desert island.
Xiao Ning resisted the urge to play together, and continued to consolidate the cistern.
However, some people didn't want to let him go.
As Chen Ling threw a piece of mud on the back of Xiao Ning's head, Xiao Ning was also "forced" to join the fight.
A man and three women are scuffling together, and the scene looks a little wild.
However, after playing for a while, the three girls got tired and climbed out of the dirt pit one after another, leaving Xiao Ning alone, and continued to strengthen the reservoir pitifully.
Half an hour later, Xiao Ning got up from the dirt pit, threw some dead leaves and dead branches into it, and set them on fire by drilling wood for fire.
After burning for more than an hour, the fire was extinguished, and a cistern was done!
However, Xiao Ning looked at his body, and then at the bodies of Chen Ling and the others, all of which were mud!
This cleaning is a problem! Looks like I have to go to the beach to take a shower again?
Bang!
Just then, the sky thundered, and good fortune seemed to favor them, as if it was going to rain!
