Twenty-seventh Moonlit Night
Ye Yan pulled up his sleeves, the sleeves were cut by him, it was ugly, it was better to roll up the two sleeves, and the same was true of his pants that were bitten by the leopard, and in the last few days, the long shirt and trousers have completely turned into cool summer clothes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Fighting with the leopard, if it weren't for Ye Yan's knife, maybe he would have died, Ye Yan didn't rely on brute force to fight with the leopard, even the special forces of the army couldn't do it by brute force, he was looking for the weakness of the leopard, and then broke it.
These are all in the past, and there is no need to mention them again. Ye Yan stood in front of the entrance of the cave and picked up the somewhat wilted banana leaf bag on the ground, which was full of grain.
He closed his eyes slightly, why were there two chests in this desert island, in a cave that no one could know?
"Okay, let's think about it. Ye Yan whispered to himself as he walked.
Let's say that in the past, a flotilla passed here, and for some reason they stopped here. But what forced them to leave their belongings, boxes of food and seeds?
Or do they need to be hidden in the first place?
"But the hidden place doesn't match the value of the item at all......" Ye Yan looked up at the sky.
"Ye Yan, let's go. Mo Qing waved his hand in the distance and shouted.
Ye Yan was silent and quickly followed. It's not early, it's almost four o'clock in the afternoon.
Walking all the way, Ye Yan returned to the water source, he was about three or five steps away from the waterhole, loosened a piece of land, threw many taro with small buds into it, covered with a layer of soil, and then waited for these taro to take root and sprout again, this area is sunny, fertile water and soil, it should be a good place to cultivate. The rest is reserved for grain, which can be roasted...... No, Ye Yan plans to cook it in water.
Although there is salt in seawater, it cannot be used directly for cooking, because there are many organic and inorganic substances in it, most of which are harmful to the human body.
The days without salt are more uncomfortable, people need to replenish some salt every day, Ye Yan even plans to extract some sea salt from seawater, but the amount of work is too large, and his memory of refining sea salt is only limited to a certain cartoon when he was a child.
Drink some more water and refill the water in the bamboo tube, in fact, the effect of this bamboo tube is still a little poor, and it can't be too full, otherwise it will leak.
Ye Yan looked at his watch, the time is nearly five o'clock, and there is still almost an hour before dark, so he may be able to transport some soil back today. But Ye Yan thought that digging was too troublesome, so his heart moved, it was better to use this time to find materials, and maybe he could try to make a wooden shovel when he went back at night.
Paying attention, Ye Yan immediately leaned over to the east, if he wanted to make a wooden shovel, he had to ask for a relatively thick wood, it would be too wasteful of time to cut one, he vaguely remembered that there were a few pieces of dry wood on the beach where the hermit crab was caught, and the cross-section was very wide, so he only needed to cut one.
Ye Yan was familiar with the road, and this time it only took less than twenty minutes to come to the beach in the east, there was no calm in the bay, and the beach was exposed to the invasion of the sea breeze and rough waves.
The waves are splashing, the reddish-purple sky in the distance is dotted with a few stars, and night is falling.
The golden sand was covered with fine sand, and there were many pieces of wood that had washed ashore, many of which had been sifted by the sea, and many of which were at least a palm's width enough to make a small wooden shovel.
And these driftwoods have other advantages, they are buoyant, dry, light and hard.
Soon Ye Yan took two pieces of broken driftwood, like wooden planks, with white hair on his body and some mottled cracks.
Take more and go back to the fire.
The taro was held by Mo Qing, and Ye Yan dragged a wooden board with one hand and went back.
Unlike Mo Qing, because of his long walking time and the hot weather, his physical strength was accelerated and depleted, and now Mo Qing's breath has become heavy, if every woman has a hidden talent for shopping, otherwise Mo Qing will really be unbearable.
On the other hand, Ye Yan will not be like this, his pace is steady, and his breath is long, as if every movement fits one breath and one breath, which can make the qi and blood flow smoothly and maintain his physical strength. People who practice martial arts pay attention to breathing, in fact, by adjusting their breathing, so that the oxygen in the body is sufficient. Because strenuous exercise accelerates cellular respiration, the oxygen demand exceeds the supply for a while, resulting in hypoxia. At this point, the cells will undergo anaerobic respiration, breaking down sugars into water and lactic acid and releasing much less energy. Why do you have sore limbs after exercising, this is the result of the action of lactic acid.
Therefore, ensuring stable breathing will greatly reduce the consumption of physical strength.
Ye Yan is exactly like this, although he is a half-hung monk "martial arts practitioner", but the Gu Sanshou mastery given by the conscience system involves the method of spitting the mind, which is the result of the ancestors' research, and the so-called scientific breathing method today, and even surpasses.
Internal force only exists in novels, so Ye Yan can't fly out of the universe with his left foot and right foot, but the thing "qi" is real and touchable, and it can indeed increase people's strength.
It is too expensive to exchange internal force cheats, tens of thousands at every turn, and it also requires genius earth treasures to nourish the body, Ye Yan does not have this reward point, so he is more inclined to ponder "qi".
During his days on the island, Ye Yan did not forget to exercise, how to conquer the wilderness without a good body, Ye Yan did not forget the SSS-level task.
Returned to the residence by the bay, the fire was still burning, but there were only a few sparks left, fortunately, it was not completely extinguished, Ye Yan hurriedly added some flammable materials, and the fire was slightly stronger again.
It was already 6 p.m., and the sky was covered with sunset, and a reddish-purple cloud was dotted with stars, as if the gods were whispering.
The fire was moved to the newly built wooden house, so that it was not afraid of the invasion of tropical rain, Ye Yan had already prepared to pile up a lot of dry wood in the bamboo house to prevent the rain from coming, and there was no wood to burn.
Mo Qing cut a piece of meat from the smoked leopard jerky on the beams of the house, skewered it with a small wooden stick, and slowly roasted the jerky around the fire, which she took pleasure in.
Ye Yan was also sitting by the fire, the stars were hanging outside the wooden house, and the waves were rolling. He was holding a plank from a tree that he had picked up from the beach, still maintaining its natural texture, about 20 centimeters wide and five or six centimeters thick, and it was obviously unwise to use a knife to cut a piece of wood suitable for making a wooden shovel.
However, Ye Yan has a fire, he only needs to burn this wooden board into a small 20X30 wooden square, and then use a knife to decorate the outline.
Ye Yan used a wooden stick to start the fire, and according to the distance marked, he ate the piece of wood little by little, until a blackened fire mark was burned, Ye Yan hurriedly extinguished the fire on the wooden board, kicked it off, and got a small wooden block.
Next, just chop it out with a knife little by little according to the shape of the shovel, and cut the edge of the wooden shovel sharply, but you have to open a hole in the handle of the shovel and insert a wooden stick, which is a wooden shovel, which is a slow job.
It took Ye Yan more than three hours to finish the prototype of this wooden shovel, which had a thin edge that could easily separate the soil, and then gradually thickened upwards until it was large enough to insert a small wooden stick. Spliced together like this, a simple wooden shovel with scorch marks and many knife nicks was made, and it didn't look good, but Ye Yan believed that it was much easier to use than a clam shell.
Tomorrow you can dig the earth, then you can make an earthen pot, a good pitcher, etc., you can drink hot water, eat more variety of food, in short, everything is going in a good direction.
Ye Yan held a small wooden shovel, sat outside the house, looking up at the endless starry sky, the starry sky here is very pure, each one can be seen clearly, a faint silver moon hangs in the sky, this is a picture that Ye Yan will never get tired of seeing no matter what.
The warm sea breeze carries a faint salty smell and the fragrance of grass and trees, blowing through the forest, and the branches of the trees swaying in the wind.
The sound of the waves flowed in the air and reached the sky, Ye Yan sat on the beach, looking at the stars in the sky, stunned.
Mo Qing sat quietly beside Ye Yan, she hugged her knees and looked up at the starry sky: "Ye Yan, how many days is it today?"
Ye Yan thought about it and couldn't help but be stunned: "Three days?"
"yes, it's only been three days, and we have a wooden house and a kiln, wouldn't it be too dreamy?"
Ye Yan thought for a while: "It's not counting, survival in the wild is actually more important to find a target, many people don't know what they should do, like a headless fly, it will naturally be slow." As long as people have a goal, they can always implement it quickly...... Well, at least in the wilderness. ”
"We know what we need to do, and we will naturally use the most time-saving and labor-saving method to achieve it, which should be said to be reasonable. ”
Mo Qing nodded, and stopped talking: "Oh......"
