At Tang Xiaosheng's suggestion, Zhao Min began to look for containers that could be used to boil water near the east coast of the island, but she searched for more than half an hour near the coast, but found nothing but reefs and vegetation.

So, Zhao Min expanded the scope of the search, and used light skills to search along a small hillside on the east bank, all the way to the west. The highest elevation of the hill was about 50 meters, and after a few minutes, she reached the top of the slope and was surprised to find that it was actually a lawn.

Zhao Min was the lord of Mongolia in the original martial arts world, and he had special feelings for the grassland. When she found the lawn at the top of the hillside, she was also delighted.

After that, she began to search the lawn at the top of the slope, and eventually, she found a cave in the reef on the western periphery of the lawn. Due to the darkness around her, the situation in the stone cave naturally could not be seen clearly, Zhao Min did not dare to break in rashly, and after thinking for a while, she returned to the beach on the east coast and told Tang Xiaosheng about the incident.

Tang Xiaosheng was also quite surprised to get that there was a stone cave on the hillside, because in this way, in case of another storm, everyone would at least have a place to hide.

In order to further understand the situation in the stone cave, Tang Xiaosheng decided to go with Zhao Min to have a look. Originally, Xiaolongnu, Guo Xiang and others also wanted to follow, but because there were fish to be grilled, and the road up the hill was not very easy to walk, the road conditions were unclear, and it was in the way of more people going. In the end, the others stayed on the shore for the time being, except Tang Xiaosheng and Zhao Min who went together.

In order to have lighting tools, Tang Xiaosheng first found a few branches, twisted them into a ball, and burned them. Then he used the branch as a torch and rushed with Zhao Min to the hillside on the west side of the coast.

After reaching the top of the slope, they crossed the lawn in a westerly direction and came to the entrance of the stone cave, and the two of them carefully walked towards the stone cave by the light of the torches.

The entrance of the stone cave is circular and about 1.5 meters in diameter. Tang Xiaosheng needed to bend his body to walk in. However, the further you go into the cave, the more spacious the place becomes. As soon as you enter the cave, you can vaguely see that there is a circular place in front of you, more than a dozen square meters.

The cave is not deep. After walking a dozen steps, I reached the bottom of the cave. The stone wall of the entire stone cave is brown rock, and many places on the stone wall are very flat, looking like traces of artificial excavation, this does not seem to be a natural stone cave, as for the truth, Tang Xiaosheng is not sure.

One thing is certain, though, and that is that the cave was once inhabited. Because in the cave, Tang Xiaosheng found some charcoal ash. There are traces of fire on the floor of the cave, and there is also a black ceramic pot, which is supposed to be used for cooking.

It is clear that there were once people who lit a fire in this cave and even cooked food in a ceramic pot. And judging by the situation in the cave at this time. It must have been a long time since anyone lived here, and the cooking on the fire probably happened at least two or three years ago.

Tang Xiaosheng took a closer look, the ground of the cave was quite flat, if he spread some weeds and other things in the cave, he should still be able to sleep.

The cave is not big, after looking around in the cave. There were no other suspicious discoveries, so Tang Xiaosheng and Zhao Min left the cave, and before leaving, they took the black ceramic pot with them, because it could be used to boil water.

After a short time, they hurried back to the beach to the east and joined up with the others. After that, everyone gathered around the campfire to grill and eat the fish at the same time.

At the same time, Tang Xiaosheng also built a small stove with a few rocks near the coast, and then set up the ceramic pot found in the stone cave on the small stove, preparing to boil seawater to collect some distilled water to drink.

Since being stranded on the island at noon yesterday, no one has drunk half a drop of water, and solving the problem of drinking water is a top priority.

It's just that it is not easy to get fresh water from seawater, and the method Tang Xiaosheng can think of is distillation. …,

He first filled a ceramic pot with seawater, then raised the fire and began to boil the water. Later, he found a large piece of lotus leaf and put it on top of the ceramic pot, and when the seawater was boiled, the evaporated water vapor would condense into water droplets when it touched the leaf surface.

At this time, he tilted the leaf surface at a certain angle, because the leaf surface is relatively smooth, the water droplets then slide down the leaf surface towards the lower place, and finally slide off the tip of the leaf, at this time, Tang Xiaosheng took another piece, used it as a container, collected the dripping water droplets little by little, and obtained distilled water that could be drunk.

It is impossible to collect fresh water in this way, and after collecting it for more than half an hour, only about 200 ml of fresh water is obtained.

Tang Xiaosheng used the fresh water he had just collected, slowly walked to Xiao Huang Rong, squatted down, and said, "Rong'er, come, drink water!" ”

Xiao Huang Rong has been shouting that she is thirsty at noon today, and she always wants to drink seawater, but fortunately Tang Xiaosheng stopped her in time. Now that she finally has water to drink, she was suddenly excited, opened her mouth, and drank the 200 ml of distilled water that Tang Xiaosheng had been tossing for more than half an hour to get in one gulp.

After drinking, Xiao Huang Rong chirped a few times, licked her little tongue, and commented in a childish voice: "Daddy, this water is so sweet!" ”

Tang Xiaosheng smiled, this is distilled water, how can it be sweet, it is estimated that the little girl is too thirsty, so she thinks this water is delicious.

"Daddy, I'm still going to drink."

"Okay, Daddy will burn it right away."

In fact, the seven people on the island are very thirsty now, and Tang Xiaosheng himself has a dry mouth, but Xiao Huang Rong is the youngest, and everyone lets her.

There are seven people on the island, and the average person needs to drink 1,000 milliliters of water per day, which is a total of 7,000 milliliters of distilled water. Just now, Tang Xiaosheng boiled seawater for more than half an hour, and only collected about 200 milliliters of distilled water, according to this efficiency, it takes at least 17 hours of seawater a day to meet everyone's basic drinking water needs.

In this way, the boiling of water must be carried out almost all day and almost uninterrupted, which means not only that someone must boil the water continuously, but also that a large amount of firewood is required. The amount of firewood required to burn continuously throughout the day is still very impressive.

In order to solve the problem of firewood, after eating the grilled fish, Tang Xiaosheng, Guo Xiang, Xiao Zhao, and Zhao Min collected plant branches nearby, while Xiao Longnu, Wang Yuyan, and Xiao Huangrong stayed on the coast to be responsible for boiling water.

In addition to after collecting firewood. Tang Xiaosheng and others also collected some wild grass that can be used to make straw mats and put them in a stone cave on the western slope of the beach for everyone's convenience.

Although everyone knows that Lu Dao will definitely try to find a way to get out of Crescent Island, if no ships appear, he can only continue to stay on this island for the time being. No one can predict what the future holds, so we can only think about it for the long term.

After hours of hustle and bust together. Finally back to the coast. By this time, they had gathered enough firewood to burn for the night, along with two large bundles of green weeds. These weeds are to be woven into straw mats.

After reuniting at the beach, everyone was hungry and continued to cook fish. I had a late-night snack. And Xiaolongnu and Wang Yuyan also collected more than 1,000 ml of fresh water after several hours of busyness, and everyone drank a few sips.

Now that there is finally something to eat, some to drink, and even a place to live, the problem of survival has been basically solved, and everyone's hearts are a little more steady.

"Daddy, look, there's a moon in the sky!" At this time, Xiao Huang Rong's small hand pointed towards the night sky. Said excitedly.

Except for Xiao Huang Rong, everyone else has been busy with survival issues, how can they have the heart to see the moon, but after Xiao Huang Rong reminded them like this, everyone couldn't help but raise their heads. Look out at the night sky. …,

On this clear summer and autumn night, I saw a crescent-like moon hanging high in the deep blue night sky, and a few shining stars scattered around. Among them, on either side of a white nebula that spans the north and south, there is a shining star on each side. These two stars are none other than "Altair" and "Vega".

"Oh. I almost forgot, today is Valentine's Day! At this time, Guo Xiang suddenly remembered and reminded happily.

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaolongnu, Zhao Min, Wang Yuyan, and Xiao Zhao all turned their faces and looked at Tang Xiaosheng at the same time. Seeing the formation of all the beauties, Tang Xiaosheng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"Zhang Wuji, you are really a blessing, so many of us women accompany you for Valentine's Day!" Zhao Min raised his eyebrows slightly and teased.

Tang Xiaosheng opened his mouth, stopped talking, and finally didn't say anything, just smiled slightly.

He was silent, and the others were silent, and they all knew very well in their hearts that what Zhao Min said was not wrong. If they weren't affectionate to Tang Xiaosheng, how could they accompany him on a trip, let alone fall on such an island.

In the hearts of each of them, they actually hope to be like the morning glory and weaver girl in the sky, and become a natural pair with Tang Xiaosheng. Unfortunately, the situation did not go as they wished, Tang Xiaosheng had multiple souls in his body, which meant that he would not belong to just one woman.

They are not Vega in the sky, and Tang Xiaosheng is not Altair. In fact, Tang Xiaosheng is the crescent moon in the night sky, and they are the stars around the moon.

Xiaolongnu, Zhao Min, Wang Yuyan, Xiao Zhao and others can't help but have their own thoughts in their hearts, I don't know which star they are in Tang Xiaosheng's heart?

"Daddy, what is Valentine's Day?" When everyone was silent, Xiao Huang Rong suddenly threw herself into Tang Xiaosheng's arms and asked curiously.

Tang Xiaosheng slowed down and explained: "The Qixi Festival is the night of the seventh day of the seventh lunar month every year, and according to legend, this day is the day when the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd meet at the Magpie Bridge. He pointed to the stars in the sky and said, "Rong'er, do you see it?" The very bright star is Vega, and the opposite one is the Cowherd. ”

"Cowherd?" Xiao Huang Rong Xiao Qiong wrinkled, feeling that the name Cowherd was too ugly, so she asked in a childish voice, "Daddy, what is Weaver Girl?" ”

Tang Xiaosheng said: "The Weaver Girl is a beautiful, intelligent, and ingenious fairy in the sky. On the night of the Qixi Festival, everyone can beg the Weaver Girl for wisdom, skill, marriage, and many other wishes! ”

As soon as she heard the wish, Xiao Huang Rong's eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately asked, "Daddy, will the wishes made to the Weaver Girl come true?" ”

"Well, sincerity is spirit."

"Can I make a wish?"

"Absolutely."

When asked this, Xiao Huang Rong immediately clasped her two hands in front of her chest, made a prayer gesture, raised her little head, and her two big eyes flickered, staring at the Vega Star in the sky, and made a wish in a childish voice: "Weaver Girl, did you hear me?" I'm Rong'er, and I want to make a wish to you. I hope that in the future, the teacher will assign less homework, I hope I can grow up sooner, I hope to have Naruto to watch every day, I hope ......"

Tang Xiaosheng smiled and said, "Rong'er, you don't have more than one wish!" ”

Xiao Huang Rong's big eyes blinked, thought for a while, and said to the Vega Star in the sky again: "Weaver Girl, what I said just now doesn't count, okay?" I'm going to make a vow now. I wish I could become Hokage sooner! (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
