Chapter 171: Gu Xiaole's plan
The three girls looked at each other, and finally Lin Rui, who was a little older, asked:
"Captain Xiao, why do you say that?"
"Hey......" Gu Xiaole sighed:
"Actually, I don't say that you should also be able to see the environment we are in now, after such a big tsunami, the original animals in the jungle can basically run.
Those who couldn't run were probably buried in the tsunami, so we're afraid we'll have even fewer things to hunt in the future. ”
"But don't we still have a lot of canned food?" the outspoken little girl Lin Jiao immediately asked.
"Well, we have some supplies, but I just counted them, and we have about 40 cans left in our hands.
We now have 5 people in the camp, and if we follow the minimum standard of one can per person per day, I am afraid it will be able to support less than 10 days. ”
When Gu Xiaole said this, several girls also began to worry, and Lin Jiao asked anxiously:
"What about that? We're not really going to starve to death in this jungle, are we?"
Gu Xiaole smiled faintly: "Actually, you don't have to be too anxious, it shouldn't be difficult for me to find something to eat on such a large island!"
It's just that the next step is that I have to find a way to expand the range of the hunt and see if I can explore the central area of the island and see if there is more wildlife there......"
Gu Xiaole's words suddenly gave several girls confidence.
"That's great! Without further ado, Brother Xiaole, when are you going to leave, we two sisters will accompany you!"
"Don't worry, let's take a look around the neighborhood these days, if it's really like what I expected in advance, let's head deeper into the island!"
While a few people were talking, they saw that Xiaoli, who had just been frightened by the little monkey gold, refreshed herself and dressed up, and crawled off the plane with her waist-like twist like a water snake.
"Captain Xiao, thank you for just sending me the meat skewers, it's really delicious!
It's just that if you eat too much of this kind of baked product, it's easy to get angry, Xiaole, can you accompany me to the waterfall behind to get some water to drink?"
Gu Xiaole was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that he had been worrying about food all along, and he had forgotten that the fresh water reserves in their camp were almost exhausted.
So he nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll go with you. Just fetch some more water for the camp and come back, Xiaojiao, you guys will clean up the leftovers. ”
They said that they were about to get up and leave, but Ning Lei on the side spoke:
"Miss Ben is also thirsty, so let's go together!"
Lin Jiao and her elder sister Lin Rui looked at each other and smiled, and said in their hearts that Ning Lei looked at Gu Xiaole so closely!
So the three of them walked along the path behind the camp to the small waterfall in the back mountain.
But when I went there, I was a little dumbfounded, it turned out that after the big tsunami, the original mountain stream here was also damaged to a certain extent.
The stream, which used to be crystal clear, is now muddy.
Gu Xiaole squatted down and scooped up a handful of water with his hands and put it in his mouth,
"Bah, bah, bah...... No, the water is polluted, it's bitter and astringent, and we can't drink it!
Hearing him say this, the two women were a little dumbfounded, now that the entire island has been washed by the waves, where else can they find fresh water now?
"It looks like our plan to enter the depths of the island had to be ...... in advance," Gu Xiaole said after pondering for a while.
"What's in the depths of the island?" asked Xiaoli with a blank expression.
"Unknown, it may be an abundance of food and water, or it may be some unpredictable beast or other danger,
All in all, it's a mixed bag!"
Regarding Gu Xiaole's answer, Xiaoli stuck out her tongue and didn't answer.
Instead, Ning Lei wrinkled her brows and pondered for a while and said:
"Okay, no matter where you go on an adventure, I'll accompany you!"
In this regard, Gu Xiaole smiled, I didn't expect that this eldest lady still seemed to have some class feelings for herself, it was in vain that she had dreamed of her several times......
Since there is no more suitable fresh water to drink here, there is no point in continuing to stop here, the three of them started to return the same way, but after taking a few steps, Gu Xiaole stopped again.
"What's wrong?" Ning Lei asked curiously.
"Look, there's a banana forest that has been washed up by the waves!" Gu Xiaole stretched out his hand and pointed, and sure enough, there was a small banana forest lying there less than a hundred meters away from them.
"So what? those plantain trees don't bear fruit, what's the use to us?" Xiaoli shook her head.
"No, it works! I think I've seen it in a wilderness survival science journal that this thing may have the fresh water we need now!"
Saying that, Gu Xiaole walked over quickly, grabbed a part of the root of a plantain with his hand, brushed off the dead leaves on it, and carefully cut a cut with a Swiss army knife and poured it into his mouth......
Sure enough, with that small mouth, a stream of clear juice flowed out.
"Well, it's not a taste, just a little faint fragrance!" Gu Xiaole nodded.
"Is it?Xiaole, I want to drink it too!" that Xiao Li excitedly took the rhizome of the plantain that Gu Xiaole had just drunk and poured it directly into his mouth......
"Well, yes, yes! I can really drink it!" Xiao Lixi smiled, and drank three or four plantain rhizomes in a row before stopping.
"However, I'm afraid these few plantains aren't enough for us to drink for long, right?" Ning Lei also drank a plantain and looked at the remaining plantain on the ground and said with some concern.
"Well, it won't last long, it's just a temporary emergency solution, okay, don't think so much, take all these banana trees that fell to the ground back to camp!"
So the two women and a man tidied up the banana trees that fell to the ground, Gu Xiaole carried a big bag, and Ning Lei hugged a small bag,
Even Xiaoli, who was injured, had to clip seven or eight plantain rhizomes by herself.
The three of them soon returned to the camp and found that the Lin sisters had already sorted out the leftovers.
Seeing them carrying plantain rhizomes in large bags, the little girl Lin Jiao asked strangely:
"Brother Xiaole, what are you doing? There isn't even a green plantain on this plantain tree, and you still take it back as if it were a treasure?"
So Gu Xiaole told them about the fact that they had just discovered that the freshwater source was no longer drinkable, and Lin Rui and Lin Jiao were also a little shocked.
Yes, it's okay to say that you don't have anything to eat, even if you are hungry for a few days, your life will not be in danger, but if you don't have fresh water,
I'm afraid they won't even be able to survive a week!
"It seems that our brother Xiaole is still very good, and he even knows that there is drinking water in the banana tree!" Lin Jiao didn't forget to praise a few words while drinking the banana water.
Gu Xiaole shook his head:
"Now is not the time to be happy, the difficulties we are facing are still quite big, and I am afraid that Basho will not be able to support this for a few days.
So I decided that I would set off early tomorrow morning into the depths of the island!"
