014 Into the rainforest
"There really isn't a ...... at the foot of the mountain."
Yu Ruo lay on the ground and looked for gold ore without giving up, and finally stood up with a face like a big cat.
I cleaned up the piles of rocks on the ground and said with a smile: "Silly girl, the gold ore was obviously dropped by a boulder landslide, at least halfway up the mountain, maybe higher." ”
She kicked a small pebble with her foot, as if she was angry: "Hmph, I thought we could find something valuable, and get out of this place quickly." ”
"Then we have to find a gold mine with enough value. "I gathered the stones and laid them on the raft that I had brought with me.
"Let's go. I reminded.
Yu Ruo and I pulled the raft, and the large and small stones dangled from it.
I saw that Yu Ruo pouted, looking unhappy, and comforted: "Silly girl, it's not so easy to find mines, I've been here for almost ten days, and I only ate meat today, don't you want to eat delicious food?"
As soon as he heard about eating, Yu Ruo instantly came to his senses: "What else is more delicious?"
I pulled the raft hard and stretched out a finger: "Food like cassava, breadfruit, and a big forest behind us, as long as we find it, that's our food." ”
Yu Ruo's eyes lit up, and he looked contemplative with his little head up.
I smiled and said softly, "Let's set up the house first, and then make some crockpots, and then hunt and stew soup to drink." ”
Yu Ruo raised his hands and was about to jump up.
Good guy, I've only been on the island for eight or nine days, and now I look like a Middle Eastern refugee.
Back in front of the herringbone stones, I piled them all outside, and seeing that it was still early, I decided to cut some trees on the east side and pull some mud back.
On the sea, a slight sea breeze was blowing, and Yu Ruo's yellow underwear was swaying in the wind.
We soon came to the shore, where the dense woods were cool, and the temperature was probably three degrees different from that of the west.
Yu Ruo twisted his head, and suddenly said: "It would be nice to dig a passage from here, it would be more convenient, and you could enjoy the shade here!"
"You value coming here to cool off, right?" I grumbled, looking down at the mud beneath my feet.
Yu Ruo looked at me dissatisfiedly and complained: "Zhao Fan, in fact, some things would be better if you don't say it." ”
Sweeping her outstretched hand, I hurriedly begged for mercy: "Okay, pay attention next time." ”
"But your proposal is really good, it won't work to open up such a thick mountain, but we can open a relatively close road. I was looking for the sticky mud as I spoke my thoughts.
Yu Ruo was not stupid, and began to help build a house.
I cut down some of the thicker trees to serve as beams and pillars, and I dug up some mud with a shovel.
The effect of sand on holding stones is too poor, and in order to ensure the load-bearing capacity of the house, clay is the best choice.
The problem was that I hadn't gone deep into the woods yet, and I didn't find anything around the area, so I simply gave up.
Carrying a load of mud and wood, it was transported to the edge of the herringbone stone.
The next time, I used a shovel to dig a five-meter-long trench around the herringbone stone.
I don't plan to make the house much bigger in the short term, mainly because I don't need it at this stage.
With the protection of a fence, some small animals are completely unafraid.
I filled the ditch with relatively large stones, erected the stakes at the four corners, and with the help of Yu Ruo, I filled in the fixed mud, and the rest of the work was relatively simple.
All that remains is to fix the smaller stones with more viscous mud.
Seeing that the time was not early, I simply cleaned up and went up the bread tree with Yu Ruo.
Watching the sun set, I took a bite of a compressed biscuit.
"Zhao Fan, about the discovery of the gold mine, let's, should we tell them?" Yu Ruo's voice sounded in my ears.
I turned my head to stare at her and smiled, "Why didn't you tell them?"
Yu Ruo pointed to the raft on the edge of the beach, and said angrily: "They took the contract to trap me, and even if you don't want them to pick me up, I believe you can escape from here!"
I shook my head: "There are some things they did wrong, since we signed the contract, we have to abide by the terms of the contract, but if we find precious ore, we can increase the price further." ”
Yu Ruo asked, "The gold mine is not worth much?"
"It's not that it's worthless, but the cost of developing this thing is too great, and it depends on the reserves, so let's start surveying when we build the house next." ”
After thinking about it, I decided to inform my boss who hired me and took out the satellite phone.
"Toot ......"
A deep male voice soon came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Zhao, did you find something?"
I said into the microphone, "A small piece of gold ore was discovered not long ago. ”
"Gold ore?" the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Can you determine the reserves of gold ore?"
I said expressionlessly: "I don't have any instruments, I managed to survive a few days ago, and I haven't done this to see yet." ”
"Hehe......"
The other end of the phone laughed awkwardly, was silent for a while, and said: "In this way, I will arrange a little material in the past few days, and it is inconvenient for you to see it......"
When I heard that the satellite phone was going to put supplies in it, I looked at it vigorously.
I looked at Yu Ruo's stunned appearance and couldn't help laughing.
"Yes, by the way, throw me some more tools. ”
"Okay, I'll arrange it tomorrow, but Mr. Zhao ......" Halfway through the phone, he suddenly elongated his tone.
I smiled and shook my head, "Say whatever you want." ”
"That's right, I'll arrange for a few people to survey the island at that time, please make sure they're safe. ”
The meaning on the other end of the phone is obvious, that is, I am not at ease, and I am afraid of the beasts on the island.
I chuckled dryly, "No problem, when will you come and tell me in advance, I can guarantee that they won't lose their lives in the places I have found." ”
"You don't ...... this?"
I hung up the phone, looked at the bruises on my arms, and scolded, "You're crazy!"
"Zhao Fan, don't you order more supplies, give me something to eat......
I looked at Yu Ruo's complaining face and reminded: "In a few days, someone will come, how long will come, and several people will not tell me, and we still have to protect their safety." ”
Yu Ruo looked at me in surprise, "Neurotic, Azkir Island is so big, what if there are more ferocious beasts?"
"Besides, if they don't obey......"
I smiled, "If you don't obey here, you will end up like a dried hyena." ”
"Okay, I'm going to get up early tomorrow morning and build a house. ”
Yu Ruo set up the sleeping bag, got in, and suddenly asked, "Zhao Fan, can we go deep into the rainforest tomorrow?"
"I'm going to go deeper tomorrow, what's wrong?" I said, leaning over and curious.
"I want to find out how many poisonous insects and snakes there are, and when you have your house in place, I'm going to start looking for the killer who bit you. ”
I reached out and knocked her on the head, and said with a smile, "I'll take you in tomorrow to see ......"
