Chapter 51: The Spring Stops Flowing

Now lunch has arrived, wild boar with avocado.

Camp.

Nie Chunxian is taking everyone to burn charcoal, and the firewood used before was picked up nearby, and now he can only cut some trees to use as firewood, but these branches have a lot of moisture content, so they have to be roasted on the fire first to evaporate all the water.

"Mr. Nie, just now I found out that someone was sneaking around outside our camp. ”

Xiao Qian came over with a bundle of firewood, her face a little nervous.

Those people were almost certainly the ones who parted ways with them before, and last time those people kidnapped Nie Chunxian, I don't know what they will do this time.

"Ignore them, it's important to prepare supplies right now. ”

Now she doesn't care what those people want to do, they can't do anything if they really want to die themselves.

When I came back, a batch of charcoal had already been burned, and it seemed that everyone was getting more and more experienced, and the first batch was successful.

"How's your harvest?"

"Found a lot of avocados. ”

No one has ever eaten fruit here, but now there is an avocado to eat, and it is like a dream.

I took two or three avocados and cut them up for everyone to taste, and stored the rest.

As the days passed, every day I would take people out to find food that could still be found, and gradually the camp stocked up on enough food to survive the winter.

Fur to protect against the cold has also been found.

But a new problem has arisen, and that is that there is not enough fresh water.

The water in the waterhole does not flow and is stagnant, and the water we used to drink was spring water flowing down from the mountains, and the flowing water is safer than the stagnant water.

But now the spring is out of flow.

"How much water is left in the camp?"

Nie Chunxian checked the fresh water in reserve and found that this fresh water was only enough for everyone to drink for five or six days.

"If you only drink water every day when you are thirsty, you should be able to last a few more days. ”

"That's not going to work, water is very important for survivors here, and it's not good if you get dehydrated. ”

I remember finding quite a few coconut trees in the southern part of the island when I was looking for herbs, and now it's time to go pick coconuts and come back.

However, the place is far from the camp, and it is too late today, so I can only go tomorrow.

"Little Brother Su, I found out that those people came to wander around our camp before. ”

Xiao Qian was a little worried about what those people would do.

"Leave them alone, as long as they don't come to the camp to do anything. ”

If people don't offend me, I won't offend people, and now I don't have time to fight with them.

The daily water consumption is still quite large, and it takes a lot of water to cook food, even if you only eat barbecue, you have to drink a lot of water to help digestion.

The most urgent resource now is fresh water, even if you pick the coconuts, it won't last long, and those stagnant water contains a lot of bacteria and viruses, even if it is boiled, you can't worry.

"We've got to collect the dew tomorrow morning. ”

Now this is also a solution, the air in the forest is very humid, and collecting dew will be a good way.

"The seawater still you made before was good, why don't we go to the beach to distill fresh water?"

Nie Chunxian remembered the seawater retort that Su Ye had made before, and that thing didn't have to be used in vain at this time.

It's just that I have to go back to the old camp before, and I have to go back and forth a lot of unjust roads.

"That's not worth it, not to mention that it has to go far, even the seawater still can be used efficiently. One liter of seawater can distill up to one glass of water. ”

So I have to find another way to get fresh water, and the fact that the spring is out of flow does not mean that there is not a drop of water in the high places, and I plan to follow the route of the spring water to the upper reaches to see.

This time, Nie Chunxian followed me out, and she always felt unsteady when she stayed in the camp.

Upstream we found some wet soil, and perhaps we could dig down to find fresh water.

As soon as I said it, I took the lead and started digging with a shovel.

"Normally, if you dig down 30 centimeters, you will see the mud. ”

Sure enough, after digging a few times, I saw the mud, but this water is not drinkable, and they have to be cleared by themselves, and the first thing to do is to scoop out the mud as much as possible, and then wait for the groundwater to slowly seep out.

When I was resting, I found that Nie Chunxian's face was stained with some mud.

"Look at what? There's something on my face?"

Nie Chunxian touched his face, and sure enough, he found something, maybe it was splashed on his face by mud just now.

"You look like a village girl now, and no one believes you when you say that you are a domineering female president. ”

Nie Chunxian stroked his hair and pouted, "A dog can't spit out ivory from his mouth." ”

"Didn't I say it, but now you feel like a dog can't spit out ivory from his mouth?"

It seems that the previous conversation stimulated this woman, and if this is the case, it is really a lying gun......

"Who made you a pervert. ”

The people on the side couldn't help but bow their heads and laugh secretly when they heard Nie Chunxian's words.

I can't take off my hat......

Night.

The biting cold wind crept through the cracks in the cabin, and even though I was covered in warm animal fur, I could still feel a cold wind rushing up from my trousers.

"Tomorrow and a little mud to paint the hut. ”

"It makes sense, the wind of the province pours in. ”

In addition to that, I also had the idea of making a clay kang.

Northerners burn kang in winter, I don't know if they can get used to it, at least I know that Nie Chunxian is a southern girl, and it will be very unaccustomed at first.

"Do you want to burn the kang?"

The co-captain touched his beard, it was a good idea.

"On top of that, I'm going to burn some pottery to hold water and food. ”

In the past, bamboo tubes or leaves were used to store things, but when it comes to preserving things, pottery is more appropriate.

"Then you have to have a grinding disc, right?"

Nie Chunxian remembered the video he had seen before, it seemed that pottery needed to be placed on a rotating grinding disc when it was made into a clay embryo.

"That's right, so I've got to make a grinding disc first. ”

The stones in the pond are suitable for making grinding discs, but there are no natural disc-shaped stones, so you have to polish them.

That's a big job.

You need to drill holes in the middle of the grinding disc, but you don't have the tools to drill holes, so you can only use sharp stones to drill slowly.

"Shhh

Accidentally my finger was cut by a sharp stone, so I quickly put my finger in my mouth and sucked it.

"If you really can't give up, just pinch a clay embryo and burn one?"

Nie Chunxian wanted to compromise, he had burned some rough utensils before, and he could make do with them.

"The utensils made like that are too rough, didn't Xiaoqian get cut into her mouth by a thick bowl two days ago? ”

"You care about people. ”

Nie Chunxian pursed his mouth, feeling that this guy is so serious for the sake of others.

"The same is the end of the world, and it is right to care. ”

"I think you're plotting against someone else. ”
