Chapter 8: Return to the Island
After some looting and scrambling, we took the raft on the boat to pull the supplies to the shore, and then divided them into various large bags and small bags to carry them on our backs, and then entered the dense forest of the island again.
In addition to the previous sapper shovel, we now have two axes, a hacksaw, so that we have the equipment to build a house, and in addition, we have also taken a lot of rain cloths and candles, after all, the island is really unbearable to rain at every turn. In addition, we took pots and pans and bedding, but we were trapped and had limited manpower, so we didn't bring much.
The final items are a small special solar generator, a special tent with two bedrooms and one living room, a medical kit, and a set of diving equipment.
Solar generators can generate electricity, special tents are waterproof and windproof, and with this large tent, there is basically no need to build shelter. The role of the medical kit is self-evident, and the diving fishing equipment can solve some of the food problems.
According to the meaning of the big bear, we must take it all, so that life can be directly well-off, of course, this is also impossible, the glasses man is such a chicken thief, he doesn't want to take it all.
Sure enough, around these things, our two groups of people are not giving in to each other, just the tent for a long time, and finally someone even proposed to simply divide the tent into two, I see that this is not a way, so they said to the man with glasses, "In this way, you can take the tent, but the solar generator must be given to us, you think about electricity, although it is an important symbol of modern civilized society, but on this island, it doesn't seem to be of much use, right?" There are a few lights on board, but the other electrical appliances can't be moved, and even if they do, the voltage output of this small generator is not enough. But what, there are a lot of girls on our side, and they are afraid of the dark at night, so it's much better to have a lamp on them, how about it? It's not a loss, is it? ”
The man with glasses pushed his glasses, looked at the other people behind him, and then nodded in agreement, and then, I generously gave up the diving fishing equipment and some of the medicines in the medicine box, and this was the end of the big division.
On the way back to the camp, Da Xiong asked me if I had defected to the enemy, why did I finally let the glasses man and the gang like that, I said: "Do you think I have thick eyebrows and big eyes, like the kind of person who will betray the revolution?" Diving equipment is good, but who in our group can dive and fish? As for the tent, it is indeed good, but under the immobile rainstorm on this island, no matter how good the quality is, it will not last long, right? So buddies are all thoughtful in everything they do. ”
Uncle Song on the side also touted me business: "That's it, Comrade Xiao Han is simply the guiding light on our side, my brain is quick and pay attention to a lot, if I can go back, I will definitely marry my girl to you!" ”
"Then forget it, Uncle Song, do you know that the girls chasing me are all lined up from Wangfujing to Badaling." I said with a smile.
"It's Lao Song, don't mess with the mandarin duck score, our Comrade Xiao Han has long been interested in someone." After speaking, she turned her head to look at Su Yuliu, who was chatting with Sun Yuxi and them, when she was suddenly stared at, and her face turned red all of a sudden.
After all, laughing and laughing, these things are more about letting the big guys relax a little from the spiritual level, but the construction of spiritual civilization alone is not enough, and material civilization must also keep up.
After we returned to the camp, probably because of the rain before, the improvised hut that had been temporarily repaired was completely scattered again, and Miss Lin walked around and said, "This place is not suitable for camping, the terrain is uneven, and the trees are too lush, so let's change places." ”
I nodded, "Well, it's a bit far from the water source, so we might as well go deeper into the island, and we'd better find the freshwater lake upstream of the creek and camp nearby." ”
Everyone didn't have any opinions, only Xue Ying suddenly asked, "But in this way, aren't we far from the beach?" If a rescue ship comes, won't we be able to find them, and they won't be able to find us? ”
I thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense, so we'll go to the beach tomorrow and make more signs, and the camp would be better to look deeper into the island." ”
Now no one has any opinion at all, the big guy carries a large bag and a small bag, and walks along the route we have taken before to the depths of the island, although it is said that in the day or two on the boat, everyone has replenished a little food and water, but after all, the quantity is limited, even if it grows a little strength, it is also consumed by the hot and humid weather on this island.
When we came across the creek again, the big guys couldn't wait to replenish the water, and if it weren't for the instinctive shame, we would have stripped off and washed up.
After about half an hour of trimming, we set off again, this time after walking deep into the dense forest for about half an hour, suddenly a clear place suddenly opened up in front of us, in the dense and rich branches and leaves, a clearing of hundreds of square meters appeared, a green grass in the clearing, colorful unknown small flowers, just like a small garden.
On one side of the clearing, there is a tall green boulder, which is an irregular rectangle as a whole, about seven or eight meters long and wide, and about four or five meters high, and it is also covered with green grass and wild flowers. This place was simply born for camping, and everyone was a little faintly excited.
The big bear put down the big and small packages, circled around the boulder, and said excitedly: "This big stone is really a good thing!" You see, the side facing the open space and the side facing the sky are relatively smooth and smooth, and when we build the wooden house, we can use one of the boulders as a wall, which is both strong and wind-resistant, and if we have time to spare, we can find a way to climb on this big rock and build an attic. But this stone is so abrupt here, I don't know where it came from? It can't be a meteorite in the sky, right? That thing is said to be radioactive? ”
Miss Lin also approached the boulder and took a closer look, "Look at the texture of this stone, it shouldn't be a meteorite, and judging from the nearby environment, even if it's a meteorite, I don't know what year it fell, so there shouldn't be a danger of radiation." ”
I said, "Well, Da Xiong usually doesn't read much, and at the critical moment, he exposed his unlearned face, and this stone can't be a meteorite." But what we have arrived is a gift from heaven, and if the wooden house is built on this big stone, we will not be afraid of the great storm. It's only half an hour from the creek, and about an hour and a half from the sea, and that's still the time for us to grope our way forward with a load, and if we are familiar with the road, it will be shorter, and if you don't have any other suggestions, we will camp here. ”
At this time, everyone actually had no strength for a long time, and when the large and small packages on their bodies were put on the ground, they couldn't carry them anymore, and this place was indeed very suitable for camping, so no one objected.
When I saw that no one raised any objections, I began to prepare for the division of labor. Building a wooden house will definitely not be built well for a while, so tonight, and even the next few nights, I can only make do with camping, but in order to prevent rain, I asked Uncle Song to take Da Xiong, Xue Ying, and Zhou Anan to cut some wood first, and in the past few days, I will temporarily use wood as a column, and spread rain cloth leaves on top to build a simple shed.
Sister Hongmei and Li Shanshan are responsible for preparing dinner for everyone, there is not much food left on the ship before, and there is not much left after they are divided equally with the glasses man, but considering that the nutrition of the big guys has not been able to keep up with it for a while, I decided to make all the food and make the big guy have a good meal, as for the future, I will talk about it later.
Su Yuliu and Sun Yuxi's job is simpler, they are responsible for removing the green epidermal plants from the boulder towards the open space with a sapper shovel, and then smoke the surface with fire to prevent small parasitic insects on the stone.
In the end, I was left with Miss Lin and the uncle who had always been willing to talk, I thought that Miss Lin and I would go and touch the nearby terrain to see that it was more suitable for building toilets and bathrooms over there, after all, if you want to survive for a long time, these basic facilities must be available, and if you are willing to do some work, let him go to the neighborhood to pick up some firewood and come back, if you don't want to, then help Su Yuliu and them clean up the boulders.
But it was at this time that we found out that the uncle was gone! As for when he disappeared, no one can remember, anyway, he did get off the boat with us, and then followed in silence as before.
The big bear snorted and said, "I'll go, the old man won't be captured by the savages, right?" ”
I said, "Get out of here, the savages will catch you with a lot of meat, but if he gets lost on this island alone, it will be troublesome." ”
Uncle Song also said: "That's it, he's old, and he doesn't know if he can speak, in case he encounters some danger, it will be troublesome, although we haven't spoken, but after all, we are all survivors, otherwise let's go and find it together?" ”
I shook my head, "That's not good, so many of us are looking for it separately, and we don't have communication equipment, in case there are any more lost, it will be even more troublesome, besides, it's getting late, we also have to solve the problem of accommodation and food, I think Miss Lin and I went out to look for it." ”
Although the big guy is a little worried, there is no better way, but fortunately, Miss Lin has a gun, everyone has seen that marksmanship, and we also carry the only flashlight with us, as long as we don't go too far, it shouldn't be a big problem.
