Chapter 196: Unlocking New Skills

Because of the sound of Douding and Douding's mother rushing out of the woods, the two rabbits immediately ran into the grass and were never seen again.

Chen Jian turned his head and just wanted to shout, but when he turned around and saw Dou Ding and Dou Ding's mother, his face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly ran over.

And Douding and Douding's mother are very popular, so they gently put the eggs in their hands into the baskets we brought, and then tilted their heads at us, looking very cute.

Chen Jian looked at the seven or eight bird eggs, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he hugged Douding and Douding's mother in his arms, and kissed their heads.

Peewee was very useful, squeaking in his mouth, obviously happy.

Douding's mother broke free of Chen Jian's hand and went directly to the tree again, probably going to dig out the bird's eggs again.

I never imagined that these two little monkeys would not only find us a fruit grove, but also dig out birds' eggs to help, which really surprised me.

Chen Jian cried with joy, touched Dou Ding and coaxed him for a while, Dou Ding also ran out of Chen Jian's arms, and after a while, the two of them ran back again, and this time, the eggs in the hands of the two of them were bigger than the ones they found just now.

Seeing that the basket was about to be full, Chen Jian and I didn't do anything else at this time, so we followed Douding and Douding's mother back and forth in the woods.

In less than half an hour, the baskets we both brought were already full.

Chen Jian hugged Dou Ding, like a warrior returning triumphantly, looking at me with a smile: "Brother Sihai, the two of them are really amazing, the fruit forest we found at that time has already surprised me enough, this time they can actually help us dig out the eggs, then we don't need to come out to find them ourselves, they can help us transport these eggs back to the mountain!"

This is really an unintentional unlock of a new skill!

Alas, I was thinking about not bringing the two of them here, but I didn't expect the two of them to help so much.

I never thought of it, but I already knew that monkeys are primates and are very intelligent, maybe we have been together for so long, he also felt Chen Jian's grief and wanted to help us.

Only this time, the help of the two of them really solved a big problem for us.

The two of us returned triumphantly with two baskets of eggs, and when we returned to the top of the mountain, Wang Xiaoxiao and the others were also surprised to see our two baskets full of eggs.

Liu Jiaojiao also happened to be hungry at this time, although the size of these bird eggs is very small, but if Liu Jiaojiao eats alone, these two baskets are enough for him to eat for three or four days.

Wang Xiaoxiao immediately went to pick up firewood and steam egg custard for Liu Jiaojiao, Liu Jiaojiao squatted by the stove with longing, and kept licking her lips.

Chen Jian breathed a sigh of relief, made the egg custard, and Liu Jiaojiao ate a whole bowl by herself, and ate a few fruits, and then returned to her wooden house satisfied.

In the evening, we stewed some wild vegetables with dried brown bear meat, and when we were full of food and drink, I went down the mountain to take a bath, and it happened that Wang Ping was also standing at the bottom of the mountain.

There was an inexplicable emotion in his eyes with his hands behind his back, and I thought he was homesick again.

Because Wang Ping told me that his father died very early, there was only one mother and one sister in the family, and he worked in Bai Wei's company, and all his salary was sent home.

The life of his mother and sister is also very poor, so he has always been on his shoulders.

Now he disappeared into the sea and ended up on this desert island, but there is no way to tell his mother and sister that he is still alive, and he doesn't even know what kind of mood his mother and sister are in now, so Wang Ping is always sad when he thinks of this.

Seeing him like this, I was also a little worried, so I stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, we can always go back to the city, and we have a house here now, we can live even if we have food even if it is a rainstorm, only alive can there be hope, don't worry too much, look away, otherwise, even if you are sad, we have no way to go back, aren't you just adding a burden to yourself?"

Wang Ping turned his head to look at me, stunned, then smiled and shook his head.

"I'm not sad, although we are stranded on this desert island, and we don't know what to do, but I also know that life is the greatest hope, I was just studying this waterfall, didn't you say before that you wanted to move this water to the mountain? When I was chopping wood yesterday afternoon, I suddenly thought of a method, do you know the waterwheel?"

After listening to Wang Ping's words, I nodded: "I have naturally heard of this waterwheel, but what do we use to make a waterwheel in a place like ours?"

"I also thought about this, we now have kitchen knives and hacks, if we want to cut wood and make water wheels, all the parts and tools can be completely matched together, and it should be completed in about 20 days. ”

"Make a large waterwheel, and then we can make a cistern on the top of the mountain, so that in the future, these women can wash vegetables and clothes without coming down the mountain, and they can avoid some dangers, after all, although we have made fences in these places, but these fences are too fragile, if you really encounter any large beasts, it is simply vulnerable. ”

"Also, if we want to grow those rice crops on a large scale in the mountains, then water is a necessary thing, and we can't pour water from the bottom of the mountain to the mountains one by one. ”

When I looked at Wang Ping's words, I looked up at the top of our mountain, and the bottom of the mountain was about ten meters high from the top of the mountain.

How big a waterwheel it would have to be to carry this water, but I have always been worried about this matter, since Wang Ping has this idea, it means that he has begun to think about what to do.

I can't discourage him just because I find it difficult, and if it really works, it can be regarded as a move for the benefit of one party.

In fact, we can still study it, and we have enough food now, if we want to make this waterwheel, we have enough time, after all, we have always been worried about not knowing if there is winter in this place, so we must prepare all the things we want to need before this winter comes, so we can spend it safely.

I patted Wang Ping on the shoulder and nodded: "Since you want to do this, then let's go find Chen Jian tomorrow, as well as Bai Wei and their group, after all, this water diversion to the mountain is not only used by our own group, Bai Wei and they should also be involved, in this way, there is a lot of power, and our things can be done better." ”
