Chapter 383 Life

On the desert island, I began to thank the ten years of life in Dulong Mountain, when I needed to chop wood, carry water, farm, occasionally repair houses, and as for cooking, it was even more common.

These things naturally don't play a role in the metropolis, but in this kind of place, they can be called the ability to survive in the wild.

When I was in Dulong Mountain, I saw other people build houses, and there is a kind of mountain hut that is the simplest, that is, the big tree is split, then dried, and then nailed up with nails, and a wooden house is formed, but I don't have anything now, so I have to give up this method.

There is also a kind of old house that I saw when I first went up the mountain, it is the kind of rammed earth earthen house, after the corner of the wall is laid, build a wooden wall, put clay between the wooden walls, and then smash it with a wooden mallet, smash the clay, and even put some glutinous rice milk and bamboo wood in the clay, and wait until it is smashed and dry, you can continue to get it up, which is the so-called rammed earth.

I was going to make this kind of house, because this kind of house is very strong, even if it is a few decades, it will not necessarily break, I don't know how many years I will be on this desert island, so naturally I have to prepare for the long term.

After the branches were cut, I dried them in the sun, and then I found a slightly flat place near the water source to remove the weeds and roots and make a homestead, a process that took me two days.

Then it is to dig a ditch to lay the foundation, the soil here is quite soft, dig quickly with a short sword, two days of time, I dug it up, the ditch is half a meter deep, the width is about 30 centimeters, the circumference is 18 meters, when the time comes to build a house has to have about 20 square meters, it is very good.

However, I still underestimated the difficulty of building a house, and I needed stones to lay the foundation, and I couldn't find any stones nearby, so I had to cut the bark of a tree, make a basket, and then go to a cliff by the sea to carry the stones back.

This work is so hard that even if I am strong and strong, I am so tired that I have to sleep at night, and I am not in the mood to meditate or anything, and I can't take care of it at all.

I can carry more than 100 pounds of stones in a basket at a time, about a kilometer back and forth, plus the time to pick up stones is 20 minutes, I keep carrying it all day and night, it took five days, I broke seven baskets, and finally accumulated a pile of stones.

But before laying the foundation, I rested for three days, because I was tired, the most important thing is that there is no energy source, every day is sea fish and sea fish, so that the muscles in my body are rapidly consumed, I am at least about ten pounds thinner than when I was in China before, which makes my strong body a little weak.

I knew I needed some energy, and it was raining a lot, so I decided to get food, and I spent a day all over the island, finding thirty-seven nests, taking out more than twenty eggs, catching three seabirds, and killing two snakes, all of which I roasted and ate.

The easiest is to catch fish, in the reef of the beach, use a short sword to insert fish, the largest one is at least seven or eight catties, and the excess fish is smoked into dried fish, three days, I left more than 20 dried fish as reserve food.

With this, I was ready to lay the foundation, spread the stones I had brought back back in the trench, put the big ones on the bottom, and put the small ones on top, and the whole process took me five days.

Next, I made hemp rope with the bark of the tree, tied the branches I had prepared before into a row, and stood on the corner of the wall, placing seals on both sides, and putting clay in the middle.

The clay was also found when looking for the bird's nest, and I went to carry it back again, this time it was more tired than carrying a stone, the clay was wet, and a basket was more than a hundred pounds, and how much clay it took to build a wall, I couldn't count it at all, not to mention that it would need to be tamped at that time, and it would take more.

Until now, I regret it a little, why do you want to do these big projects, isn't it good to build a thatched hut at random, it will be done in a few days, but I have been busy for so long before, and I am not willing to give up, so I have to continue.

But I didn't have to carry clay all day, because my body couldn't bear it, and after more than half a month of high-intensity work, and there was not enough oil supplement, my body could only break down the stored energy, so the muscles on my stomach were almost exhausted, and even the ribs could be seen, and I didn't want to let myself die of malnutrition just after I finished the house.

Improving the quality of life has become my biggest requirement at present, and the so-called quality of life is to eat more food and more fat.

And the turning point came from the visit of a shark, which is extremely dangerous for ordinary people, but in my eyes, it is synonymous with meat and fat, and I don't even think about whether this thing is a protected animal or not, and then I rushed into the sea with a short sword, and then handled it with a sword and dragged it to the island.

I don't know how much the shark weighs, and I can't tell what kind of species it is, anyway, it's about two or three hundred catties, and the shark is peeled off, the fish bones are removed, half of the oil is refined and half is eaten while roasting, and I even tasted sashimi once, but the taste was too fishy.

In one day, I got two Coke bottles of grease, I didn't let go of the oil residue, swallowed them all, the fish bones were used to make soup, I didn't dare to waste it at all, this shark also soothed the little gluttony that almost went berserk, it finally ate some, you must know that in the previous days, I didn't let it eat at all, I didn't have enough to eat.

Another day, good luck, this time caught two large seabirds, I don't know what the hell, anyway, I can eat it, but the meat is very sour, the taste is very bad, and I also caught a few turtles, in order to drink turtle soup, I actually developed a new skill, that is, to use clay to refine pottery.

The clay was kneaded into a pot, in the shape of a bowl, and then dried, and then put it in the mound for a day and a night, and what came out was pottery, and dozens of them were made, and ninety percent of them were bad, but I also had pots and bowls, which made me very happy, and I had a beautiful meal of tortoise soup that night.

I used a short sword to get a thick tree down, cut off the branches, leaving a trunk weighing hundreds of pounds, and found the previous lifeboat, cut off the cable, made a wooden frame, tied it to the trunk, and then pulled the trunk up, put it down, and the trunk weighing hundreds of pounds smashed on the clay, smashing the clay solid, this is the process of ramming the earth.

After using up the stored clay, a wall has been erected for 30 centimeters, my goal is to ram the wall to 1.5 meters, and then use some clay bricks to build half a meter, and the highest is about 2 meters, I estimated the amount of work, it will take about three to five months.

After being on a desert island for more than a month, I was faced with another problem, that is, the problem of eating salt, there was enough salt in my body before, and the sea fish and seabirds I ate also had a certain amount of salt, but with the high-intensity work, the body passed more and more salt, and one day I felt that I couldn't lift up the strength to think of this problem.

Salt production is not very high-tech, the difficulty is to make the refined salt we usually eat, but that is not considered for the time being, just get the body needs first.

Now that I have a basin, I use the boiling salt method, go to the sea to get the seawater up, and then pour it into the basin, burn it with charcoal, evaporate the seawater, and what remains is salt brine.

Fill the brine with water, and then remove the inner net of the backpack to filter the amount, burn it several times, and the crystals left behind are salt, because there are many times of filtration, and the resulting salt does not know whether it is fine salt and refined salt, anyway, it can be eaten.

After eating a few meals of extremely flavorful food, my body is finally free of salt, and in addition to continuing to build a house, I am ready to improve the quality of life again and increase the diversity of food.

········

Yangcheng, Zhao Xuandu sat in the office of the six stations with a gloomy face, listening to Chen Shan talk about the situation in Southeast Asia, half a month ago, the six places finally couldn't keep secrets, so they told Zhao Xuandu the news of Li Xuanji.

For this reason, Zhao Xuandu traveled back and forth between Yangcheng and Hangcheng many times to inquire about the news of the little junior brother, but he didn't know anything about the little junior brother's news, not only Zhao Xuandu didn't know, but he didn't even know about the six places.

At the beginning, there was a ship collision accident in the place where Li Xuanji was, and a typhoon formed a few hours later, and it was already two days before the typhoon left.

"It's been more than a month, I haven't seen anyone in life for more than a month, I haven't seen a corpse in death, don't you care, my junior brother sacrificed for your affairs, don't you need to give us an explanation?"

"Mr. Zhao, calm down, we searched for it, and it took tens of millions of dollars to find it, but in the vast sea, I can't find any way, and this is also a matter of no choice, do you know?"

"Huh"

"Mr. Zhao, we won't forget Mr. Li's credit..."

Chen Shan said stubbornly, reassuring again and again, this time Li Xuanji had an accident, and the six places were not touched at all, at least what he promised before would be done, such as the supervision of Zhao Xuandu's company, and the case on Li Xuanji's sister-in-law, it will be helpful.

Speaking of which, Chen Shan himself is quite reluctant to Li Xuanji, Li Xuanji gets along well with him, and he makes a lot of extra money, he got married a few days ago, and the money used in the wedding is all earned by Li Xuanji, and he will not have to earn it in the future.

"Hmph"

Zhao Xuandu finally left angrily, he knew that it was hopeless to count on these people, and Li Xuanji was not one of them, so they naturally wouldn't care so much.

"Dick"

Outside the station, sister-in-law Qingqing was also waiting, at first she hated Li Xuanji, but when Li Xuanji's bad news came, she also regretted it, and now she is very concerned about Li Xuanji's life and death.
