With the continuous expansion of the family business and the further improvement of living standards, the daily water consumption is also rising, and now the water storage of the well cannot keep up with my demand again!

To be exact, I have not been able to talk about my needs, but it has not been significantly improved due to the reason of the tools.

There was really nothing I could do with the rocks with the sticks, but it was better with the axes, which gave me the confidence to expand the well again.

In addition, the recent favorable weather has made fresh water more abundant, so there is no need to worry too much about the lack of water after the well expansion.

First of all, it is still necessary to put all the existing water in the well into the large water tank at home, after all, the well water will be relatively turbid within two or three days after the well is expanded.

This time I chose a harder wood, and it was a hard wood after drying, and sharpened it as the main tool for reaming, and if it couldn't solve it, I would directly smash it with the back of the axe.

With the violent smashing of the axe, it was indeed much stronger than before, but as the blistered stones were cleared and all that remained were extremely hard rocks, the axe did not work at this time.

In fact, I really want to expand the capacity of the well directly to the extent that it can hold thirty or fifty buckets of water in one step, once and for all.

It's just limited to the tooling problem, and this simple goal has not been achieved for a long time!

It seems that only after there is enough iron, smelting into iron lifts or chisels and other tools can completely solve the capacity problem of the well, before and after this is the third expansion of the well, but the improvement is not too obvious.

I can only think about the good, and the good things will grind more!

After scooping out the little muddy water and pouring it out, the top layer was the best to clean, especially the silt, but the further you got, the more difficult it became, and I gave up after half a day.

After half a day's efforts, although the effect is still not obvious, it is slightly better than before.

The capacity of several buckets of water has been expanded, and it has basically reached the point where it can store four or five hundred catties, and it is only in vain to use an axe again, so I can only give up!

The capacity of the well and the fact that the water tank at home will usually reserve one or two hundred catties of fresh water, as long as it is not a drought for more than ten days and half a month, it is almost difficult for me to lack water anymore.

Compared to the conditions when I first arrived on the island, the results are still good!

......

In the afternoon, I went to the beach again, I haven't been to the beach since two days before the typhoon, and if the typhoon blows and there are supplies, it is not good to say that it is not good to say that it is swept away by the waves.

Originally, today was the same as usual, but more than an hour after departure, I saw a boat in the distant sea, which made the day less dull!

The moment I saw the ship, the whole person was sluggish, and my mind was even more chaotic!

The long-awaited picture finally appeared in front of me, just looking at it like this, there was already a trace of tears of excitement in my eyes!

The mood at this time can be described as "ecstatic", and what is even more obvious is the violent beating of the heart, and the violent ups and downs of the chest can be seen when you open your clothes.

It's been nearly a year since I got on the island, and the ship that I've been dreaming of for a long time has finally revealed its true form, and I used to be angry when it didn't appear for a long time!

This is an ocean-going fishing boat, I am afraid that the length is close to 50 meters, and the most important thing is that it is a Chinese fishing boat, which makes people more intimate to see here, as long as I take it, I can go directly back to my homeland after a long absence!!

Now is not the time to hesitate, it is still at least four or five kilometers away, and there is very little hope that it will see me.

Now I am like a person who can't swim and has caught a life-saving straw, waved and screamed at it desperately, and rushed into the sea excitedly to swim straight over, I have lost my mind!

The water calms people down, and if you do it now, not only will it not help you to leave, but you will also miss out on this great opportunity.

If you miss it, you don't know when it will be when you want to spot the ship next time......

When I came to my senses, I realized that I could no longer sit still like this, and the only way I could report the news was wolf smoke, and the only way to force me to go up the mountain and light the fire without a fire break was the only feasible way.

Seeing that the ship was still heading straight ahead, and the speed was not too slow, I began to have a bad premonition in my heart, and I didn't want to miss it!

I was rushing to the top of the mountain along the nearest path up the mountain, or I could describe the action at this time with a rolling belt, but this short-looking mountain road seemed so far away at this time, so desperate!

Soon after I arrived on the island, there was a pile of firewood specially placed for lighting wolf smoke, and fortunately, the sunny days in the last two days allowed the firewood to be lit directly.

I rushed straight into the kitchen and rushed to the firewood pile in the distance with a fire breaker and a handful of hay to start the fire, and every minute and second was extremely precious to me, and it was directly related to whether I could escape from this island!

The excitement made the process of igniting the fire not smooth, and it took nearly two minutes to light the fire.

While blowing vigorously on the lit fire, I collected a lot of grass and wet leaves from the woods next to me and piled them on the fire, so that there would be thick smoke, and the amount of smoke from the dry wood would be very small.

Ten minutes later, the smoke had risen to a height of several hundred meters, and I thought it was not a big problem, and now I could only hope that someone on board would see my signal and turn the bow of the boat towards the island!

The location of the clearing does not clearly see the sea in the distance, only the sporadic sea water through the gaps in the leaves of the trees.

In order to see more intuitively, I climbed the stone hill next to the house, and stood higher to see farther.

It took me another five minutes to climb to the rocky mountain and look at the sea area where the ship had just been, but reality gave me a heavy slap in the face.

The sea area where I just saw the ship was already empty, and now its figure is already in the extreme distance at the position of the sea and sky, and it will soon disappear from view!

"Bang", I smashed my fist on the stone in anger, I was still too naïve!

However, after thinking about it, I also feel that it is reasonable, even if a person on the ship sees the wolf smoke emitted by me, he may not think about asking for help, and maybe he does not have the right to let the boat go to the island.

After all, the ship is the captain, and the captain's consent must be used to make it possible!

In addition, maybe they don't want to add to the trouble for themselves, fishing is their job, maybe it's true that no one sees it in the busyness.

In short, my enthusiasm was extinguished by a large basin of cold water, which made me feel very lost!!

On the other hand, it is indeed my own fault, that the ability to gather intelligence and send signals is too delayed to delay the warplane.

When I found the ship, I just saw the hull, and when I went to the island to light the fire, I should only see the stern, and when the wolf smoke rose to a height of hundreds of meters in the sky, the ship was already a few kilometers away when it was found, and it seems that they can't be blamed entirely!

It's just that I don't know when the next time I will meet a ship after missing this ship, everything is unknown, and it's not worth looking forward to, because it turns out that the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment......

After calming down, I didn't think about it, because too much of my mind would affect my life and mood, and I was ready to continue searching the beach where I had just found the boat.

The world is hard, and life has to go on!

The comfortable weather may not be for a few days, and when you go out in about half a month, you will have to smear a layer of wet mud on your body, and the frequency of patrolling the island will decrease a little.

It turned out that the decision to go on a tour of the island was very correct, and after a short walk on the beach, I picked up something that was very, very useful to me, an old tire!

Although it is not very useful, one of the great uses I can think of is to make soles, and you can say goodbye to straw sandals directly, hahaha......

A very nice news for me, rubber soles are worth looking forward to.

The rest of the journey didn't find anything, except for the baptism of shark stench, and only one plastic bottle was picked up.

When I got home, I couldn't wait to make a pair of rubber-soled shoes, straw sandals were honestly not very strained, but they were very strangled.

Every day when I take off my shoes, there are a few red strangulation marks on my feet, and I will definitely abandon it without hesitation if there is a better choice.

It's a normal tire with an inner tube, which is relatively easier to handle, and if it's a tubeless, my dagger won't be able to cut it at all.

There's still a small amount of gas in the inner tube, but it doesn't seem to do much.

Even ordinary tires are very laborious to cut with a dagger, and later an axe was used to cut two soles-sized areas on the tire, and after reshaping, a pair of wear-resistant rubber soles were ready.

The upper is more complicated, originally I wanted to directly drill three or five small holes to tie two shoes to make slippers, but I think that usually going up and down the hill are on rough roads, and the slippers not only affect the ability to move but also very unsafe.

The road after the rain is even more difficult, sometimes it may not take long to take a step forward and two steps back, and I don't want to do the thrilling thing like picking up copper ore again, so the slippers are just excluded by me!

I took out the two remaining nylon threads from knitting sweaters before, and I think the upper is still similar to knitting a sweater, knitting an area the size of a palm, and then drilling more than ten holes in the sole to fix it, which is relatively simple.

The knitted upper is a little more sparse than the previous sweater, and considering the high temperature in summer, knitting too densely will cover the feet, which needs to be considered in advance.

A day later, I was not used to the straw sandals that I had been wearing for almost a year, but I began to fall in love with the comfort expressed on my feet!

Compared to the hardness of straw sandals, the rubber sole is soft, light, and very comfortable, with the only drawback being that it is not too slippery.

So I cut some small horizontal grooves with a dagger on the sole to increase the friction of the ground, and also cut a few times on the upper, and this shortcoming was also cracked, and I think it should be difficult to look at straw sandals in the future.

I didn't stop making the first pair of shoes, and I plan to make another pair as a backup, and of course the more consumables the better, and I don't know how long it will last.

Maybe I was too happy, if it was broken in ten days and half a month, then I would have to change back to straw sandals in the end.

The various things I have experienced since I came to the island have changed my original personality to a certain extent.

I don't think about the outcome of things as optimistic as I did at the beginning, and I always make bad mental preparations, although sometimes it turns out that it's just my overthinking!
