Chapter 168: The Bathroom and the Little Waterwheel
I knew this guy must have seen the helicopter that day.
Eight or nine are not far from ten, and these guys must have been like us, calling for help from those helicopters.
"I just want to ask if you've seen a group of people other than us lately?"
Eric thought I'd be asking about the helicopter, but who knew I was going to pop up like that.
"I don't know!"
Eric shook his head.
I don't think he looks like he's lying, and a cautious person like him is still very wary of such unknown people.
It seems that those weirdos Eric, they really haven't seen it.
"If you're not looking for me, I want to find you! What the hell is going on with this helicopter? Why did we call it and there was no answer at all?"
I smiled wryly, and that's exactly what I wanted to ask him.
I told Eric about our night, and Cheng Meng next to me beat his chest and said why he didn't set the woods on fire, so that he could get the helicopter's attention.
Pull it down!
We almost started a massive wildfire, but it didn't work.
"What do you think about this?" Eric had long since stopped pretending to be forced, but was waiting for me to speak.
"You don't believe me!"
If I brought out the problem of Luo Shijing's plane, I don't think Eric would believe it.
Eric ignored me, but muttered to himself, "Could it be that our group of people have crossed over?"
Depend on!
Why do you think so?
When there is no judgment on a matter, the minority naturally obeys the majority in front of the opinions of the people......
Is it true that we are not in the real world anymore?
Eric looked at him with a surprised look on my face, and naturally guessed what I was doing.
We had no interest in talking, but he asked me to change the meat again in a few days, and he could take as much as he could, and he still had a lot of good things to give me.
I naturally understood that he was going to continue to work shipbuilding.
And the imminence of this unknown danger had to make him speed up the progress of shipbuilding.
I don't care, I can sit back and watch Eric fix the boat, now we just don't come to the beach here, as long as we don't meet the weirdos, we're still living comfortably.
But they are all on the same island, and those who can leave as soon as possible still have to leave as soon as possible.
We parted ways, and when I got back to the camp, I told everyone about it, and everyone was worried, but Uehara Sorumi looked indifferent and kept smirking at me.
"I said you're too worried!" said Sorumi Uehara.
I looked up at this Nizi with some confusion: "What, don't you think the current situation is not dangerous?"
Uehara Sorumi shook his head: "Of course not! I just don't think anything can be done in advance! Don't think about the helicopter, after all, people really don't see us! And those weirdos, as long as we don't provoke them, why do they come to the mountains to look for us?"
I don't think what Uehara Sorumi said is unreasonable.
The location of the Twin Mountains where we are located is very remote, and Lu Peng came here after looking for a long time at that time.
Besides, so far, these weirdos have only been on the beach, and they have never been seen on the island.
After all, we have lived for more than four months, and we have indeed not seen any suspicious people appear near us.
Our next job is to clean up the camp, and I'm so tired from so much stuff lately that I can't talk to them about that secret door anymore.
Hai Dafu knows a lot, so he naturally builds a bathroom with me, and the simple thing of building a toilet is still left to Ji Bo and them.
It is better to engage in a leeward place, otherwise it will smoke people to death.
I moved the bamboos I had cut down earlier to the open space in front of the house, and then carefully cut a gap in the bamboos with a knife.
The most difficult thing to do is actually how to open up the middle of the bamboo, I thought of many ways but couldn't do it, until finally Ye Wan'er thought of a good idea.
That is, the long mast that was broken off from the previous ship was burned red, and slowly stuffed into the middle of the bamboo.
In this way, the high temperature will burn the bamboo in the middle, and I am afraid that the outer skin around it will also be burned.
Fortunately, Hai Dafu and I were very careful, and there was no stubble, and the ingenious Wu Qian used our leftover waste to make a few bamboo cups.
And then there's the question of the water pack.
There are no suitable plastic bags for water packs on desert islands, and the only thing we can rely on is trees.
But it also gave me the idea of making a waterwheel.
The bathroom is very important for women, after all, we old men can wash directly upstream at noon while the temperature is high, but it is impossible for women to bare-ass outside to take a bath, right?
Since there is no water pack, this bathroom can only be built far away.
The last time I walked along the way with Uehara Sorami, this stream was flowing through a low peak, and I thought it would be a good place to build a bath.
The water here is very fast, and I cut down these big bamboos this time, and it shouldn't be a problem to build a small waterwheel according to the layout in my head.
And the ones that concern me the most are the few towering stones, which are my favorites and will be useful later.
I instructed Hai Dafu to go and fetch some ropes that we had made before, and then I used an axe and a knife to split the new bamboo in half.
The rest of the work was very simple, I found a lot of thick branches from the surrounding trees, then sat on the ground and began to tie them into a round wheel with the rope that Hai Dafu had brought.
This is naturally useful and can be easily turned.
In addition, I cut some trunks with branches, and then dig a pit and bury them in the ground, so that it can serve as a round wheel to support the round wheel I made earlier.
I found the trunk very thick, and the branches were carefully peeled off with a folding knife, and then polished very smooth.
This helps to reduce friction to prevent the waterwheel from flowing too little, and the waterwheel cannot move.
I found a bamboo pole of just the right thickness, poked it through the round wheel I had just made, and then clamped the ends to the branch of the tree that I had just polished, and now I only need to tie the small bamboo tube neatly to it, and I am basically done.
As long as the middle of the bamboo is not cut, the small bamboo tube is fine.
I tied the little bamboo tubes with rope and carefully tied them to my round wheel.
Then Hai Dafu couldn't wait to put this semi-finished product in the turbulent water, and the gadget really brushed up.
Since there was nothing to follow from the small bamboo tube, the water directly threw off Hai Dafu.
"Yes, Qin Ming, it's really yours!" Hai Dafu patted me on the shoulder and said.
But that's just the general work. The next step is to place the bamboo that I just split in half in the position of the round wheel rising, so that the water in the small bamboo tube can flow down the waterway made of this half of the bamboo into the pot.
I took the unused cauldron I got on the Smith ship earlier, and although it was rusty, it still worked with a brush.
What is the pot used for?
