Chapter 1: The First Night on a Desert Island
Three days have passed since the plane crashed to the crash between the two of them, and after Cheng Ran came to the island, he began to think about building a rudimentary shelter, and began to move after thinking about and observing.
The whole tree can be about five meters long, and the one at the top of the tree took less than two minutes to break, Cheng Ran carried the trunk that was nearly three meters long and returned to the place where the shelter was built, and put it on the two trees, and then used stones to separate some rattans, and used these rattans to fix the beam, so that it would not shake too much, after all, there is no nylon rope that cannot be fixed very firmly, but what should be the problem of holding it for a while.
Cheng Ran cut down ten trees that were almost one meter and five long, relatively straight, and small branches were used to make the roof of the shed, and four of them were used on the side facing the beach, and four were also used in front of it, but the opening of about one meter was left, and the beams were used and then the remaining four were placed on both sides, and Cheng Ran fixed it with rattan again, so that the basic framework of this shelter was completed, basically it took about an hour and a half, according to Cheng Ran's ability, give him an axe, and he believed that he could complete it in half an hour.
Just when Cheng Ran was trying to cover the shelter with something, Li Yuxin came back, holding a lot of fruit and a little banana in her arms, and said as she walked, "I also found some banana trees over there, but they are not ripe, you can eat some first!" ”
Cheng Ran asked ecstatically, "Over there, there is something on the roof now" pulled Li Yuxin as he walked, and also scattered the fruit on the ground.
Li Yuxin said with some annoyance, "Why are you in such a hurry, you hurt me." ”
At this time, Cheng Ran scratched his head apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I'm too anxious." ”
In fact, Li Yuxin didn't take it seriously, after all, after the shelter was built, she didn't need to sleep outside at night, she didn't want to find a random place to sleep on this deserted island, that kind of feeling, she always felt faintly scared in her heart.
The two went to cut a lot of banana leaves, and in order to eat bananas in the future, Cheng Ran was still very kind to cut only a few leaves from each rubber tree.
The two then went back to the shelter, and after returning to the shelter, Cheng Ran put the banana leaves on the shelter one by one, and put banana leaves on both sides, and then tied them all with rattan, and finally put the peeled bark on the side facing the beach, hoping to block the sea breeze as much as possible.
The general shape of this shelter is a long triangle, with a total of four banana leaf walls, and the space under the test should be barely enough, and I tried it with a shake of my hand, and the sturdiness is okay, at least the general wind can't blow.
Because the banana leaves were relatively wet, Cheng Ran didn't use the banana leaves, and spread them on the ground as a mat, and now Cheng Ran and their first shelter on this desert island was built like this, and it was close to dusk at this time.
The shelter has been built, and the few necessary conditions for survival are water, food, and fire, and the water and food can still be used for a while, and the fruit they picked and the coconuts they collected should be fine for two days.
After half a day of exploration, although only a small part of the entire island was explored, the two knew in their hearts that this island should be a desert island and an island that no one had ever visited, but they were reluctant to say it, and they might still have some expectations in their hearts.
Cheng Ran and Li Yuxin wandered around the woods for a while, looking for some dry wood and blocks, and specially found a relatively straight small wooden stick, before they walked to the shelter.
The fire will not start by itself, the next thing Cheng Ran has to do is to make a fire, first find a piece of relatively hard wood to pad underneath, open a coconut, tear off the fluff on the top of the coconut coconut, and then take the small wooden stick that he was looking for in his hand.
Everything was ready, Cheng Ran began to rub the wooden stick with both hands, and began to drill wood to make fire according to the method he had learned.
After a few simple attempts, Cheng Ran found a problem, when he rubbed the wooden stick with both hands, it would naturally fall down, even if it was from the top of the stick, it would not be rubbed for a while, and the hands would fall to the bottom and then have to take his hands up again, so that there would be a period of time to stop, so repeatedly, even if he tried many times, the end of the wooden stick rubbing was heating, and there would not even be a little smoke.
When Cheng Ran tried how long to stop and rest because of the redness and pain of his palms, Li Yuxin began to try, and after a while, the white and tender hands blistered and stopped.
"Forget it now, I'll think of a way, I'll make a fire." Cheng Ran looked at the white and tender hands and said with a painful face
"Then rest the fruits you eat early," Li Yuxin said helplessly
"Well, let's rest early, I'll get up early tomorrow to explore, it's best to find a water source that you can drink." Cheng Ran said as he reached out and picked up the fruit and ate it.
After eating the fruit, the two walked into the shelter and took up one side, and then there was no movement, and the silence of each of them made the other think that he had fallen asleep.
Cheng Ran thought in his heart, how can he ask for help on this island, if there is no rescue, how can he take Li Yuxin to live, although Li Yuxin has nothing to do with him, but he can't watch the fresh life wither in front of him.
Li Yuxin thought much simpler, she had never fallen asleep with a man, what should she do if Cheng Ran plotted against her, thinking about it, she opened her eyes, and quietly looked at Cheng Ran through the faint moonlight, looking at Cheng Ran's face that was so ordinary that she couldn't necessarily find it in the pile of people for a while, she suddenly turned over a little embarrassed and fell asleep slowly.
Cheng Ran, who was the first to wake up the next morning, thought that although this place looked like a tropical island, although it was hot during the day, but at night when there was no sun, as soon as the sea breeze blew, Cheng Ran was only shivering.
So Cheng Ran decided that he must light the fire in a few days, otherwise he would freeze to death if he didn't starve to death, and the whole storage environment would be different with the fire, and it would be changed.
Li Yuxin also got up at this, and the two of them ate the remaining fruits and coconuts and then walked towards the jungle.
In order to avoid getting lost, the two decided to leave some traces every time they walked a distance, and use a stone to carve a mark on the tree or use a stone to place an arrow on the ground to move forward in reverse.
In a strange forest, the most fearful thing is to get lost, although no matter where on this desert island is strange to the two of them, but they don't want to lose that shelter, after all, they already have some familiarity with that part of the shelter.
