Chapter 7: The Cave

But let her give up here?

That's impossible. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Tong Duoduo categorically rejected this idea in his heart.

This place was a place she had found with great difficulty, and if she gave up, she didn't know how far away she would be from the next water source. And who can guarantee that the next water source will be free of animals?

Tong Duoduo approached, squatted on the ground, and carefully stared at the animal footprints that were large and small. She was suddenly a little surprised when she saw this, but she really showed some way.

The animals' footprints, even the largest, were only a little larger than her two palms, and they didn't look deep. Does this mean that the animals that come here are actually small?

She walked around the neighborhood and found that there were no large, deep animal footprints nearby. This discovery immediately relieved her for most of the time.

Afraid of snakes, Tong Duoduo took the branch in her hand that had gradually been used as a crutch by her, and stirred the water in the pool several times. The fish in the water were so frightened that they scattered in all directions. She didn't know if it would be useful to do so, but she was relieved anyway.

Once again, Tong Duoduo felt deeply sad that his hands were powerless. The idea of cultivating that secret book became more and more urgent.

From being washed on the beach by the sea water in the morning, to simply wiping his body with a little mineral water, and then walking for at least half a day, his body was already stinking and sweaty.

Once again, she looked around and saw that there was no one, not even animals, she hid in a boulder that was a man high by the waterhole, quickly squatted down and tested the water temperature, and found that it was probably because the sun had passed, and the water in the pool was not cold at all.

Tong Duoduo took off his shoes and socks and put them in a place where the water could not splash, and then went down to the pool from undressing to wash his hair, take a bath, dry them, and put on new clothes and pants. The whole process was as fast as she could in her life.

took out the storage box with dirty clothes from the space, and she scrubbed both sets of clothes with her hands and feet, but unfortunately there was neither laundry detergent, laundry detergent nor laundry soap, not even a drop of shampoo and shower gel, and she didn't know if it was clean or not?

Spreading out clothes, shoes, socks, and towels to dry on dry stones with the sun, Tong Duoduo collected a pile of branches and leaves nearby, put them in a large storage box to receive space, and then returned to the waterhole to pour them out. After a few trips back and forth, she had collected a large pile of twigs and leaves for starting the fire, which was enough.

Finding a flat place beside her, she built two simple stone stoves with stones, put branches into the holes, spread the leaves on them, and lit a fire with flint and steel. She let out a long breath, she finally got it done, why is it so difficult to even make a fire?

Tong Duoduo first put the empty conch he picked up on the beach on the stone stove, and then threw a dozen washed prawns into the conch, and left it alone after adding water.

Lighting the second stone stove, Tong Duoduo's speed was obviously much faster. She set up the big shells, added a little water, found a few branches and cut them to the right length, removed the outer bark, and put them in the big shell pot.

She opened the storage box for the crabs and found that the crabs inside were gone. Is this a sealed storage box to suffocate?

Tong Duoduo secretly stuck out her tongue, this is also a helpless thing, she can't let these crabs crawl in the space. She simply carried all the crabs to the edge of the pool, washed them with the storage box, and then took two crabs and put them on the branch of the shell pot. Although the shell pot is large, the crabs are not small, and it looks crowded with only two crabs.

Due to the limited conditions, she can only make the seafood steamed and blanched.

The crabs here have just started to boil, and the water in the conch pot over there has boiled, and it is gurgling and bubbling. Tong Duoduo took out a bowl, skimmed off the foam floating on the soup with a rice spoon, and then scooped out a small half bowl of soup, and slowly blew and drank a small sip, sure enough, the soup had a faint umami.

She narrowed her eyes, set the soup aside, then scooped out all the prawns and put them on a plate, scooping the rest of the soup with a rice spoon. She refilled the water and shellfish and continued to cook.

Tong Duoduo finished solving those two crabs, more than a dozen prawns, two large pots of oysters, scallops, cockles, and scallops in one go...... I didn't stop until I couldn't hold it anymore.

I licked my hands unsatisfied. Although it is only the simplest way to cook, but this taste is too delicious, but also borrowed the cheapness of the space, if these things are put outside, at this time to cook and eat is not fresh and delicious, you must know that seafood is only the most suitable to eat when it is alive.

She put away the rest of the seafood. The shells and conches that were used as pots were also wrapped in large leaves. Even the remaining branches and leaves did not fall. Then she dug a pit to bury the food scraps and shells, and carefully doused the fire with water.

After getting these, Tong Duoduo looked over and found that most of her clothes, shoes and socks had been dried, she yawned and began to feel slightly sleepy. However, the accommodation for the night has not yet been found, and she must continue to set out to find it.

She definitely didn't dare to keep her clothes, shoes and socks alone, so she just put them away.

There is a water source here, and it would be ideal to find a suitable cave to live in the vicinity.

Tong Duoduo decided to look in several directions around here. She walked against the current, walking a little slower, and looking more and more carefully. Stop-and-go, I looked at several places and felt that they were lacking and inappropriate. She was feeling a little discouraged when she suddenly saw a hole in the mountain wall about three meters above the ground.

Standing underneath and visually inspecting the opening, the hole was not large, and could only accommodate one person in and out. But under the entrance of the cave, about one and a half meters above the ground, there is a very small stone platform that slopes inward.

That stone platform boy Duoduo liked it at first sight, and it was very suitable for drying things there. Let's go up and have a look, as long as it's almost tonight, I'll be living here.

Tong Duoduo carefully stepped on the stone to climb onto the stone platform, and was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a hidden hole behind the sloping stone platform, but the hole was obviously a little small, and could only accommodate one and a half adults to pass through.

The entrance to the cave is still smaller, at least it means that there will be no big beasts here, I just hope that the place inside is big enough. She couldn't help but grin, and she had a hunch that this might be her place to stay for the rest of the while.
