Wu Yicai carefully dug up the soil, and slowly the rhizomes of this cluster of plants appeared in front of his eyes!

That's right!

It's really potatoes!

It seems that he remembered correctly, this is the potato he used to help his mother shave when he was a child.

There are potatoes here, but they are really small, the size of eggs.

This strain has a total of five potatoes, which is quite impressive in terms of numbers.

Speaking of potatoes, most people's first reaction is shredded potatoes, but unfortunately Wu Yicai has no knives, let alone oil, so he can't make shredded potatoes at all......

Maybe baked potatoes are a good idea, in Wu Yicai's impression, baked potatoes are better than the shredded potatoes he makes, uh... It's supposed to be potato sticks, it's much tastier.

Wu Yicai still has some shadows about this potato, he remembers the first time he tried to cook when he was a child, it was the potato sticks he made at home.

Because of his lack of knife skills when he was a child, the potatoes he cut were as thick as chopsticks, and then he poured too much oil into the stir-fry, and he threw the potato sticks into the pot before the oil was hot, and the resulting dish was super unpalatable.

Wu Yicai poured this plate of oily potato sticks to his dog for him to eat, but he found that his dogs didn't eat it....

it! Dogs don't eat it!

Wu Yicai still remembered his dog's expression, it looked at him with the plate when it was excited, jumping and jumping, as a result, he poured the potato stick into the dog basin, the goods smelled it and walked away, at that time it looked disgusted....

Potato sticks that dogs don't eat, how unpalatable it must be~!

......

No other potatoes were found in the vicinity, and it seems that looking for potatoes here is completely unavoidable.

However, these five potatoes are really a bit small, and if they are roasted, they are estimated to be enough for one meal.

Wu Yi only had an idea, he planned to plant potatoes, as long as he was given time, he could turn these five potatoes into hundreds, which would take a long time, and it would take three months anyway.

Since he was going to grow potatoes, he had to find a vegetable patch with loose soil close to the river.

Wu Yicai remembered that the place where he came back from the river was very good, basically close to his hut, and it was very close to the river, which was convenient for irrigation.

The planting place is found, and the potatoes still need to be raised with young shoots before they can be planted.

Potatoes need to be placed in a cool and damp place to give birth to potato shoots, and when the shoots have grown to a certain extent, they can be dug up and planted in the soil.

Fortunately, he knew how to grow potatoes, thanks to his mother, who always dragged him up the mountain with her to grow vegetables, and naturally learned some basic common sense.

Back at the hut, he buried the potatoes in the ground outside the hut, which was damp and perfect for sprouts, and now he needed to stock up on some fresh water to fetch from the creek.

Wu Yicai collected a total of four large plastic bottles of that kind, which could not be more suitable for fetching water.

Four bottles of water are about 15 liters, which can last him for two days, and now there is a large amount of fresh water that he can drink with his heart open.

The water in the creek must not only be purified, but also boiled before drinking, otherwise you will get sick......

Wu Yicai first purified the river water with a homemade water purifier, and then boiled the water before it could be drunk.

He made a simple circulating water purification system on a tree, and with this system, he could free his hands.

Tear open the bottom of a large, open-bottomed bottle and drill a small hole in its cap, with the bottle mouth facing down, and fasten it with vines.

A water purifier is tied to the bottom of a large bottle tied to a tree, and a clay pot is at the bottom.

The three containers form a system that pours water into the top bottle, which flows slowly through the holes in the cap......

The river water enters the water purifier below, where the filtered and purified water flows into the clay pot.

The water flows a little slowly, and it takes a long time for the purified water to be purified, so he can make a water boiling tool while it is purifying.

Earthen stove!

Wu Yicai wanted to make a rural earthen stove that could be used to boil water and cook.

The making of the earthen stove is very simple, it can be made of mud to form a circle and raise it, but there is a large break in the front of the circle, and wood is added from this fracture, and an iron pot is placed on it.

Of course, he didn't have kitchen utensils like iron pots, he only had two clay bowls and a clay pot!

You can use a jar as an iron pot, and his jar should also be able to boil a lot of water, about 6 liters.

After a while, we will have to build another kiln and fire a few more urns, which can be used to store a lot of water, but now the priority is to make an earthen stove first, and then boil the water.

Wu Yicai couldn't wait to taste the river water here, so he worked very hard when making the earthen stove.

The earthen stove is very simple for a rural child, who has been using this kind of earthen stove at home since he was a child, and he is familiar with its construction.

The clay used by Wu Yicai to build the earthen stove was also mixed, and the soil was mixed with some dry leaves, and it didn't take long for the earthen stove to be ready.

Because his fire has always been well preserved, it is enough to move the fire directly under the earthen stove.

The only trouble is that the firewood here is still a little wet because of the rain that just fell last night......

It took a long time for the fire under the earthen stove to smoke to ignite the wet firewood, but fortunately, under the roasting of the fire, the wet firewood slowly dried, and the fire gradually grew!

The water in the water purifier had run dry, and now he had to keep adding water to try to fill the jar.

……

After a long time, the water boiled, and the pottery was too troublesome to use to boil the water, and it was a bit slow to conduct heat.

In fact, Wu Yicai was more afraid that the clay pot would crack because of long-term boiling of water for cooking, although he tried his best to make the bottom of the jar very thick......

Wu Yicai pecked lightly, the water was very hot, but the water did not have any peculiar smell, there was a hint of sweetness.

It seems that this water must belong to the spring, and there should be a clear spring on the peak of this island.

It was still early, and he wanted to explore the valley while he still had time, and on the other side of the reeds, he thought there might be some wild ducks.

He had seen wild ducks flying in the reeds while bathing by the river, and then they disappeared, and he estimated that there were nests of wild ducks in the reeds.

Coming to the edge of the reeds, this is a wetland, and some busy little crabs can be seen on the edge of the reeds, but when they spot him, they immediately burrow into the reeds.

It was just as he expected, the food was plentiful, and he found a big fish in the shallow water among the reeds!

It is very large, about a meter long, and this is supposed to be a bearded catfish.

It is said that the huge bearded catfish will attack humans and has a history of cannibalism, but the one he saw was probably only his prey.

Wu Yicai was holding a spear in his hand, and he wanted to pierce it with a spear, but he needed to move forward cautiously, and he must sneak attack it by surprise!

The bearded catfish didn't move, his spear was already very close to it, and his wrist stabbed out with great force!

Wu Yi stabbed it!

Unfortunately, it didn't pierce its sturdy and slippery skin, and the spear slipped away from it......

Wu Yicai could only watch in disappointment as the bearded catfish swam quickly in the water, and then disappeared into the dense reeds......

Ay! The wooden spear was not sharp enough, and although he had tried to increase its sharpness as much as possible, the spear still could not pierce the skin of the bearded catfish.

It seems that Wu Yicai's hunting methods are not only in strength, but also in weapons, he thinks that he is better at using traps to catch prey, maybe he is more suitable for playing tricks with animals......

Wu Yicai continued to search around the reeds, and he found a nest of wild ducks, and there were seven duck eggs in the nest.

The mud in the reeds was so soft that he sank as soon as he stepped into it, and in less than a second his left leg sank straight down, and the dirt engulfed his knee.

"It's really dangerous, if it weren't for my quick reaction, I guess I might be in big trouble right now......"

Wu Yicai wiped a handful of cold sweat from his head, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and patted the riotous heart with his hand.

Sitting on the shore, he pulled out his left leg with all his might, Wu Yicai's foot was pulled out, but his shoes were left in the mud puddle, and the suction of the mud was really strong!

Wu Yicai lay on the shore and pulled his shoes out of the deep mud puddle with his hands, which were also covered with thin mud, and now he was covered with mud, and he would have to wash it again later.

He plunged his spear into the mud and tested its depth, which was 1 meter deep.

However, just as Wu Yi was about to leave the reeds, he found an eerie cave on the cliff.

And where it is located turned out to be......
