Chapter 185: Shelter
Materials for building a house......
Ren Bufan searched carefully in the woods, his eyes on a few small trees that were arm thick.
These look good, and they seem to fit just right.
However, he doesn't have an axe or any props that he can use to chop down trees.
It was difficult to fall, and in the face of a small tree, he directly raised his right leg, gathered his strength, and swept out with a move of wind legs.
"Click!" the little tree broke off from its roots and fell with a bang.
Ren Bufan concocted it in the same way, directly used his right leg as an axe, chopped down more than a dozen small trees in a row, and then dragged them out of the forest one after another, towards Su Tian's side.
Su Tian's attention was on the fire, and he relied on it to recover his body temperature at this moment, of course, he had to be cautious.
She only saw Ren Bufan holding small trees and throwing them nearby, but she didn't care, let alone how she could get it so quickly without tools.
I only remember that Ren Bufan asked her to protect the fire, so she concentrated and added dry firewood to it from time to time.
Ren Bufan went back and forth a few times, and quickly collected enough materials.
However, it is full of leaves, so it cannot be built directly.
He first took some effort to remove all the leaves, and as many branches as he could, break off the branches, leaving straight trunks.
Then dig a hole in the nearby ground with a branch, and when it is deep enough, bury the roots of the two thickest trunks in it so that they stand upright side by side.
After that, we went some distance in the direction of the beach, calculated the location, dug two more holes, and buried two more tree trunks.
This time, however, the trunk is tilted, and it is turned upside down, intersecting the previous two upright trunks into two triangles.
Fix it with a vine at the crossing, and place a tree trunk horizontally above it to continue the fixation.
After that, several cross-frames were laid across the two sloping trunks, all fixed with vines, and a simple shelter framework was initially completed.
Try to shake it a few times very firmly, and right in front of the huge banyan tree that sheltered the pedal boat from the wind and rain yesterday, the huge canopy also acts as a roof, reducing the chance of wind and rain hitting the shelter and making it drier.
Su Tian sat by the fire and watched him busy, his eyes full of brilliance.
Watching him build such a decent shelter framework with his bare hands made me feel very secure.
After the frame was built, Ren Bufan ran to the side and picked a lot of coconut leaves, took them back, tore them in the middle, and began to weave them quickly.
"What are you doing?" Su Tian was very curious when he saw it, so he asked him.
"The roof is braided, covered on this side, so that we don't get caught in the wind and rain. "Ren Bufan is serious and busy.
"Can you teach me? I'll compile it together!" Su Tian said.
"You need to rest more now, there is enough time here!" Ren Bufan shook his head.
"Oh!" After a while, Su Tian looked at him, "I'm so bored sitting here." Why don't you teach me? at least let me kill the time. I'm feeling okay now!"
"Are you sure?"
"Hmm!"
Seeing her insistence, Ren Bufan thought about it, moved to the fire with a large pile of coconut leaves, and sat with her: "Then I'll teach you, but if you're tired, you can lie down and rest directly, don't brace hard." ”
"Hmm!"
Su Tian is very smart, she will understand the compilation method immediately after teaching it, and the two of them will be faster together.
Ren Bufan spread the "tiles" woven from coconut leaves layer by layer to the side of the shelter, and soon formed a sloping "roof".
To be on the safe side, cover it with another layer to make sure it doesn't leak at all.
The shelter looks rudimentary, but it's aesthetically pleasing, and it's big enough for two people to lie down underneath.
The most important thing is that it protects them from the wind and rain, so they don't have to freeze overnight in the pedal boat.
Ren Bufan made a straw mat out of coconut leaves, and now one or two layers of coconut leaves are placed on the ground, and then the straw mat is spread on it. It's very comfortable to lie down fluffy and fluffy.
"Tian Tian, you come over here!" he asked Su Tian to move to the shelter.
Su Tian lay on the straw mat, revealing a comfortable expression, faintly sleepy.
"The shelter is successfully built, if we can't leave today, we won't have to be cold at night!" Ren Bufan said, "You can rest for a while, and I'll move the fire to the front of the shelter." The shape of the shelter allows the heat to circulate as much as possible, warmer than just now.
"You didn't sleep last night, take a rest!" Su Tian looked at him distressedly. He's been busy from morning till now,
Hearing her words of concern, Ren Bufan felt warm in his heart: "It's okay! The weather is fine, I'll build a shed to protect the fire and keep the dry firewood from getting wet, soon." ”
Quickly move the fire to the front of the shelter and then stone it so that the flames don't fly over and burn the shelter.
Let Su Tian lie comfortably in the shelter and sleep, he used the remaining materials to work overtime to build two simple and practical sheds next to him. One protects the fire, the other protects the firewood.
I don't know what time it is, because the sun is obscured by dark clouds again, and the wind is blowing on the beach again.
Take a look at the beach, I'm afraid the rescue team won't be able to find it today.
Fortunately, the shelter has been built, and there is a fire, which is definitely more comfortable than last night, at least it will not be cold or rainy. Body temperature is also guaranteed.
After thinking about it for a while, he walked to the side of the pedal boat while Su Tian was sleeping, and looked at the few iron rods on the boat that supported the shed and thought.
Then he suddenly raised his foot and kicked it directly with a flowing wind leg.
"Khoosh!" one of the iron rods broke straight into two iron knots with sharp heads.
"What's wrong?what's wrong?" Su Tian was in a daze, and was woken up by this loud noise, and hurriedly looked up and asked.
"It's okay! I'll dismantle the scooter and make some tools. Ren Bufan said, "You continue to sleep." ”
"Oh......" After not sleeping all night, Su Tian was so sleepy that she closed her eyes and fell asleep again.
Ren Bufan's two disconnected iron rods were completely removed, and the incision was carefully examined.
The incisions are sharp and sharp, and a little sharpening on the stone is a good blade. The other is to find a branch tied to the top of the head, which is a simple speargun, which should be useful when going into the sea to catch fish in good weather.
According to your own ideas, find a stone to quickly process, and smoothly get the shape is not very good, but at least come in handy "knife" and speargun head.
There is still some time, use a "knife" to process the carefully selected tree branches to make the prototype of a slingshot, and then cut a piece of rubber from the life jacket and use Su Tian's headband to make a simple slingshot.
I found a few pebbles and tried it, and the crosshairs were not bad.
Now there is a place to live to shelter from the wind and rain, a fire to keep warm, a coconut for water and food, and a few candies.
But depending on the situation, the ambulance team will not be able to find this side for a while.
Otherwise, the fire will be smoking all day, so you can see it, right?
The only explanation is that he and Su Tian were pushed far away by the wind and waves, and the ambulance team must have searched from near to far, and I am afraid that it will take a few more days.
It is not good to eat too much coconut, candy can only supplement a little calorie, and there must be enough water and food to be able to wait for the rescue team of the safety department.
Water source...... Ren Bufan used his brain, and suddenly had an idea, and looked at the pedal boat next to him.
Just completely remove the shed above its head, and when it rains, the rainwater will accumulate inside the boat.
Rainwater is fresh water that can be drunk.
Moreover, I just went to the woods to look for the demolition materials to build the shelter, and found that there was bamboo inside.
Bamboo is also a particularly useful thing, and it can be used as a lot of props.
For example, bamboo bowls, bamboo cups for drinking water, reinforced shelters, and a large bamboo tree split from it and placed on its back on the ground, it can also collect a large amount of rainwater when it rains.
Anyway, you can easily chop down with the flowing wind legs, and now there is a "knife" that has just been made, and the conditions are sufficient!
"Tiantian, you have a good rest here, and I'll go get some resources back. He whispered to Su Tian, "If you're lucky, you might be able to hit a bird and come back." ”
Su Tian hummed sleepily, she was so tired that she couldn't even open her eyes.
Putting a life jacket on her, Ren Bufan quickly set off with tools and entered the forest to collect resources.
Find a bamboo forest, chop down a few large bamboos with a flowing wind leg, and drag them out vigorously and place them near the shelter.
He didn't move them at first, and then ran straight into the woods, and took a slingshot to shoot the birds with stones.
There are a lot of birds in the woods, but his skills are not good, and he can't hit anything.
Extremely disappointed, he accidentally found a small crab next to him running rampant.
Ren Bufan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly chased after him and quickly caught the crab.
Since birds are not easy to hunt, first look at what foods are easy to catch on the beach, crabs should be the first choice.
I walked quickly to the beach, and after searching carefully, I found a small number of shellfish, and indeed caught three or two crabs that were not too big.
Seeing that the sky is getting darker and darker, it is estimated that the day will almost pass, and the night will soon be ushered in.
Quickly turn around and run in the direction of the shelter.
On the way, a big blue crab suddenly appeared and ran over in front of him.
Ren Bufan was pleasantly surprised, and immediately chased at full speed.
The blue crab ran to hide in a crack in the ground of a large rock nearby, and could see a pair of giant pincers dancing menacingly.
Ren Bufan couldn't care so much, kicked away the stone, and directly stretched out the iron rod that had been broken in his hand.
The blue crab immediately clamped the iron rod with its pincers.
Ren Bufan took the opportunity to stretch out his left hand, grabbed the blue crab from behind, controlled the iron rod with one hand to clamp its pliers, and quickly ran back to the shelter.
The harvest is good, this big blue crab is not small, plus a few other small crabs and shellfish, it can make a good dinner - boiled crab in coconut milk shells.
The menu is a bit weird, but at least it's a rare food.
Hurry up and kill the big blue crab, and after cleaning it, open a coconut, cut it in half, stuff all the large and small crabs and shells into it, cover it and put it next to the fire to cook.
Taking advantage of this time, he was not idle.
Before it gets completely dark, use a "knife" to split a few bamboos, all of which are placed on their backs, and it looks like it will rain at night, and tomorrow it should be able to accumulate a lot of fresh water.
The rest of the ingredients sit by the fire and slowly process them into bamboo bowls and cups, while carefully sharpening two bamboo chopsticks for later use.
