"Zhou Chong, look over there, we have water!" Just when Zhou Chongyi was sitting on the beach with his ass and lost the desire to survive in his heart, Xie Lingyun, who was suddenly standing next to him, pointed to a place behind them and shouted, his voice full of surprise.

Hearing Xie Lingyun's surprised voice, Zhou Zhong immediately turned his head to look, and found that Xie Lingyun was pointing to a bamboo forest next to the woods, this bamboo forest was not very big, but the bamboo grew very thick, dancing gently under the sea breeze. But except for the fact that this bamboo forest is a little special, Zhou Zhong has not found any suspected water sources.

Just when Zhou Chonggang wanted to ask Xie Lingyun, but saw that she had already rushed towards the bamboo forest, Zhou Chong had no choice but to follow, when they came to the bamboo forest, I saw Xie Lingyun immediately squatting down, putting her ear on the bamboo section by section, at first it was an "empty" sound, but when she tried a few, suddenly the sound of one of the bamboo knots was obviously different.

"Quick, cut this section of bamboo!" Xie Lingyun said very happily at this time, with a happy smile on his face that he had never had before. Zhou Zhong didn't know why, he raised his knife and asked Xie Lingyun to point at the bottom of the bamboo, but what he didn't expect was that from the hole he cut, there was incomparably clear fresh water.

"This ......" Zhou Chong really didn't expect that there would be water in the bamboo joints, so he couldn't react for a while.

But at this time, Xie Lingyun stretched out his hand and pressed Zhou Chong's head and said urgently: "Hurry up and drink, don't waste it!" ”

Zhou Zhong also came to his senses at this time, and hurriedly climbed down to drink the water flowing from the bamboo, but he found that the water in the bamboo was not only sweet. And there is also a fresh smell of bamboo. It is several times better than ordinary mountain spring water. The only pity is that there is too little water in the bamboo. Zhou Chong drank a few big sips and then it was gone, which made him feel like he couldn't get enough of it.

When Zhou Zhong stood up, he suddenly found Xie Lingyun standing beside him, stretching out his pink tongue and licking his chapped lips, his eyes were also full of longing. Seeing this, Zhou Chong couldn't help but secretly feel ashamed, just now he only cared about drinking it for himself, and even forgot that Xie Lingyun had not drunk water all along.

Xie Lingyun also found Zhou Chong's embarrassment at this time. However, she smiled and said, "Let's look again, this land is very wet, and it is shady, there should be water in a lot of bamboo." ”

Hearing Xie Lingyun's words, Zhou Chong felt embarrassed a little, and immediately took the knife and began to knock around on the bamboo, but after a while, Zhou Chong also found a bamboo with a wrong sound, and after calling Xie Lingyun at the moment, he cut a cut under the bamboo with a knife. Sure enough, there was also clear water flowing out.

At this time, Lingyun couldn't care about anything else, and also bent down and put her cherry lips on the bamboo and drank it. It wasn't until I drank the water in the bamboo in one breath that I stood up and breathed a long sigh of relief: "It's the first time I've grown so big, and I feel that drinking water is also a happy thing." ”

Zhou Chong asked with a smile at this time, "Miss Xie, how do you know that there is water in the bamboo?" ”

"Giggle~, in fact, when I was at home, I liked bamboo, and the house I lived in was full of bamboo, and over time, I also learned more about the habits of bamboo, such as the bamboo forest where we are, just in the shade, the sun is not easy to shine, and the ground is relatively humid, and the bamboo that grows in this place is easy to accumulate some water in the bamboo, as for the specific reason, I am not very clear!" Xie Lingyun explained with a smile that she didn't expect that she liked the hobby of bamboo, and she would save her life here.

Zhou Chong also shouted luck after hearing this, if it weren't for Xie Lingyun's understanding of the habits of bamboo, I'm afraid that even if he wanted to break his head, he wouldn't have thought that some bamboos would contain sweet fresh water.

Next, Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun knocked on this small bamboo forest, and found twenty-five bamboo knots filled with water, for which they all carved marks with knives, and when it was time to drink water, they could cut them open and drink.

"Huh?" Just when Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun sat in the bamboo forest and rested for a while, and were about to leave to move the fire to the beach here, Zhou Chong, who was careful about it, suddenly noticed something unusual on a bamboo, which made him immediately squat down and watch.

This is a bamboo that has just been cut by Zhou Chong, and the water in it has been drunk, but in the hole that he has cut open, it is still slowly soaking outward, this discovery makes him very happy, and he hurriedly drilled a hole in the bamboo with the tip of the knife, and then cut a thin bamboo and inserted it in the hole, and sure enough, I saw that the water slowly seeping out of the bamboo dripped down the thin bamboo pipe, although it was very slow, but compared to the water in the bamboo joint, the water seeping out of these bamboos can be regenerated.

"Zhou Chong, you are so smart, so we don't have to worry about running out of water after the water in the bamboo knot is gone!" Xie Lingyun looked at the clear water droplets dripping out of the thin tube, and jumped up like a child and shouted, although there are more than 20 bamboo water saving sections they found, there is always a day when they finish drinking, and now Zhou Zhong found that the bamboo keeps seeping water outward, which is equivalent to having a continuous water source, as long as they get a few more to collect the water seeping out of the bamboo, so that they no longer have to worry about drinking water.

Zhou Zhong also seemed very happy, he immediately cut down a bamboo, and then made a bamboo tube into a bamboo tube and placed it under the thin tube, so that the water droplets could just drip inside. Next, he did the same, drilled holes and inserted bamboo pipes into other bamboos, and made more than 20 such devices to collect water in a row, and then he and Xie Lingyun went out of the bamboo forest.

Next, Zhou Zhong discussed with Xie Lingyun and decided to settle down in this big beach, first, the terrain here is open, which is conducive to search and rescue people to find them, and second, when collecting water in the bamboo forest, someone needs to be guarded, so as not to be spoiled by animals and seabirds. So they went back to the beach and packed up some useful things, which were nothing at all, nothing more than tinder and something found from the ship's debris, which they would not need now, but which they might use later.

Came to the big beach where the bamboo forest was located, it was already noon, Zhou Chong and Xie Lingyun cooked again, this time Zhou Chong caught two big fish at once, and in just one hour, the bamboo forest had collected two large bamboo tubes of clear water, which made Zhou Chong shocked and happy, I didn't expect the water absorption function of the bamboo itself to be so strong, according to this collection speed, they didn't have to drink the water in the bamboo at all.

At lunch, the two of them ate grilled fish and drank water, this should be the most comfortable meal they had after they were stranded on this desert island, they didn't have to worry about safety, they also had a source of food and water, now they just need to live here, the Xie family will definitely send a ship to find Xie Lingyun, as for whether they will take Xie Lingyun hostage and threaten the Xie family to send them back? He hadn't figured this out yet.

After lunch, Zhou Zhong discussed with Xie Lingyun, and the two decided to build a temporary residence on this big beach, after all, they didn't know when the rescuers would find here, maybe they would stay here for more than ten days or even longer, plus the weather on the island was unpredictable, so it was necessary to build a place that could shelter from the wind and rain.

This beach is the windward slope of the island, and it is likely to usher in strong sea breezes, so it is necessary to build a temporary shelter that is sturdy, of course, it is better to have a natural dwelling such as a cave, but unfortunately there is no cave on this beach except for sand and reefs, and of course there may be such caves on the cliffs behind the forest, but it is too far from here.

After discussing with Xie Lingyun for a while, Zhou Zhong finally decided to build a temporary residence by the edge of the woods, first, it is relatively close to the bamboo forest, which can facilitate access to water, and second, it can use the trees in the woods as pillars, so that the shelter built is not easy to be blown down by the wind.

Zhou Zhong found two strong trees side by side at the edge of the woods, cleared a clearing between the two trees, and Zhou Zhong was worried about what insects were in the ground, so he deliberately piled up firewood and burned it again, until the ground was hard and white, and then he began to build the house with satisfaction.

I saw Zhou Chong cut a thicker tree, and nailed the two ends of the thick wood to the two trees respectively, and then it was much simpler, Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun cut a lot of relatively thin wood, and then tied it tightly on the thick wood, as for the other end, it only needs to be buried in the ground, and the slope formed is just facing the direction of the sea breeze, so that no matter how strong the wind is, it will not blow it over.

The two of them were busy all afternoon, and finally built this simple shack, and the sides and the front were also blocked by the broken wooden planks they had brought in, and all the nails on these planks were taken down and used by Zhou Zhong, making the shack very strong.

"Whew~, it's finally built!" Zhou Zhong nailed the last piece of wood, and then sat in front of the shack and gasped.

Xie Lingyun next to her was also tired, I saw her raise her hand to wipe the sweat on her forehead, but she didn't sit down to rest, but walked to the open space in front of the shack, laboriously lifted the remaining big plank, and then moved it into the shack little by little.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhong couldn't help but feel a little strange, and immediately said: "Xie Lingyun, what are you doing moving the plank, don't you want to make a bed in it?" ”

"I ......" Xie Lingyun's face turned red at this time, and after hesitating for a moment, she finally said, "I want to separate the inside, I don't need your help for this!" ”

Zhou Chong finally understood now, it turned out that the shack had been built, and they were alone and widowed in the same room, Xie Lingyun must be worried about what Zhou Chong would do to her, so he wanted to separate the space.

Watching Xie Lingyun laboriously move the plank inside, Zhou Zhong didn't want to help at all, but still sneered in his heart, if he really had any thoughts about her, I'm afraid he would have done it last night, where would he wait until now? Besides, what can a mere plank block? (To be continued......)
