Chapter 6 "House Leakage" Happened to Rain Overnight
I woke up again not in the morning, but in the rain. The two people who were woken up by the rain quickly got up, Miao Miao hurriedly beckoned Xiang Wen to spread out the waterproof plastic sheet, folded the side of the hole and sat under the buttocks, and then took two wooden sticks to support both sides, one person supported one in his hand, and a simple tent was set up. Xiang Wen carefully held the drill fire tool in his arms with one hand, while Miao Miao reached out and placed the iron can next to him on the edge of the tent, and the rainwater collected into a small stream of water flowing down the edge to the iron can, and it was soon full. The fire outside had been extinguished, and I couldn't sleep anymore at this time, so the two of them talked about their respective situations.
The basic situation is as follows:
Xiang Wen, male, 32 years old, unmarried, from a province on the southeast coast, runs an outdoor store in Joburg.
Miao Miao, female, 35 years old, unmarried, from a province on the northeast coast, runs a clothing wholesale store in Joburg.
"This rain is estimated to come and go quickly." Xiang Wen looked at the sky outside.
"If we have to wait for a few months or half a year to be rescued, we also have to ensure basic living conditions, otherwise we will not be able to be rescued. You tell me? Miao Miao rubbed her other arm with her other hand, it was rained, although it was not cold, but it was a little cold.
"Shall we come closer?" Xiang Wen asked her.
"Okay." There's nothing reserved at the moment, and staying alive is the main thing.
Xiang Wen moved his position, sat close and did not stick to it, narrowed the range, and the heat was less likely to disperse.
"Then we'll plan it tomorrow. You come up with the idea, I'll do it. ”
"No problem."
As they spoke, the rain began to light up, and after a while it stopped completely, and the two of them continued to sit quietly and wait for dawn. But I fell asleep again unconsciously while waiting, and when I woke up again, I found that the two of them were leaning on their shoulders at some point, Xiang Wen was afraid that Miao Miao would be embarrassed, so he stood up casually, stretched his waist, and said to himself: "Hey, I still have to find a way to sleep comfortably." ”
"I'm afraid I don't have anything to eat in the morning, and the branches are a little wet, but luckily we have apricots." Miao Miao didn't seem to care about the carelessness of leaning together just now.
Xiang Wen suddenly felt that he was not atmospheric enough to sulk at himself, so he didn't respond to her, walked straight down the beach, and felt that he was angry with such a small family halfway through, and returned and said: "The rain fell rapidly last night, and the branches of the trees in the dense woods inside may not be wet, so I'll go in and take a look." ”
After a while, I really picked up some dead branches and put some hairs in my pockets. The fire soon rekindled. Miao Miao dug a slightly longer sloping ditch on the beach, put stones on both sides, and then carefully drew some fire, and then put the iron can on it to boil the rainwater. When it was cold, he and Xiang Wen slowly enjoyed this elixir and jade liquid with a cup of it, for fear that drinking it too quickly would waste such a beauty. This is the first few days, and the first sip of water the two of them drank after the crash is extremely precious.
"Why are you digging a ditch to boil water?" Xiang Wen said with a little surprise.
"When I was a child, I used to play like this."
"Hehe, I thought only boys would."
"For a rural person of my age, these are all trivial, and even if they are younger, they may not be."
"Then there is water for the time being, let's make an axe first, and then build a simple bed, at least the next time it rains, don't get drenched."
"Cheng, I'll pour these cold boiled water into plastic bottles first." Miao Miao carefully dug the bottom of the disposable cup a little smaller than the plastic bottle mouth, and then put it on the bottle mouth, "Come on, you come and pour, I'll hold it." "The precious water was poured into the plastic bottle smoothly, and not a drop of water was spilled. Xiang Wen once again admired this woman with small thoughts.
"Then I'll go find some sharper stones, and you wait for me here."
"Let's go together." Miao Miao said and stood up.
So the two walked down the beach together. Xiang Wen went to find stones, and Miao Miao picked up stones and built a half circle in shallow water.
"What are you doing here?"
"You said that when the tide is high, the fish swim in, and when the tide is low, will there be a few fish who don't have time to swim away and get stuck here?"
"You can give this a try, and when the tool is done, we'll expand the circle and see if the broken fishing net can be of some use."
"Uh-huh."
Xiang Wen searched for a long time and found a long trapezoidal stone, the wide side was a little sharper, well, that's it for the time being. Then he found a stick with a slightly cracked head, and chiseled the crack a little wider with a stone so that it could be tucked into the tail of the stone. Then I found two long vines and tied them tightly. An axe was born. Xiang Wen showed Miao Miao his works a little proudly.
"That's amazing." Miao Miao stretched out her thumb and praised.
"Hehe, I don't know how it works." Xiang Wen was suddenly a little embarrassed.
"Let's eat something first, and in case it rains again tonight, let's collect a little firewood first, and come back tomorrow to make a nest." Miao Miao looked at the sun above her head, and it was already a little overhead. There's not enough time to chop materials now.
"Okay, then I'll dig some conch."
After the two had lunch, Xiang Wen went down to the edge of the beach and made a pile of wolf smoke, while Miao Miao collected the dead branches of wood that had been almost sunburned in the morning. The ground was covered with stones, and the dead branches of wood were put on top of it. Seeing that it was half a person high, he stopped and covered it with a waterproof plastic sheet. She straightened up and looked in the direction of Wen, who was expanding the circle she had built in the morning, the nets were half laid on the stones, and then pressed around with the stones. Miao Miao smiled slightly, fortunately he is not a person who just talks and does not practice, otherwise how can he survive in such an environment by relying on the efforts of one person alone.
The day passed relatively easily, and this night, the rain that people were worried about and looked forward to did not come.
