Chapter 0110, Finding the Water Source (Four Watches)
This jungle is not only primitive, but also dense. We had to follow the path that the animals had walked on, towards the hillside where tall plants were displaced. In this kind of jungle, fresh water generally comes from two sources. One is groundwater that has been hoarded in the soil, and the other is fresh water that has been hoarded by torrential rains.
On the island, when there is no water to drink, there is also a way to test your ability, but this method is particularly useful.
Only leaves, twigs or bark are required, and in most cases they are suitable. People who have the ability to survive in the wild can conclude that where there is seawater, trees, and can light a fire, there is fresh water to drink.
The principle of this method is to pour seawater into the fire pit, put a cup of water in the middle, and then cover the fire pit with a concave lid made of leaves, the heat of the fire pit causes the sea water to evaporate, and the water vapor cools and drips into the water cup through the concave lid, so that the collected sea is enough for daily drinking.
However, for now, I still plan to find a water source first, after all, the continuous supply of water is more comfortable than this distilled water!
Generally, where there is broad-leaved forest, it means that there is fresh water, not only fresh water, but also quite large. Walking into the tall woods, I no longer felt that I was on an island, and I felt like a primeval forest all around.
I'm going to erect a makeshift shack. This kind of shack is relatively simple, it only takes a day or two to set up, but this is not the most important thing, the first priority at the moment is to find a source of water. If there is a cave tonight, it would be nice to barely make up for the night.
The only thing I have in my body right now is the Green Sword, and it doesn't take much effort to chop some wood. Another strong steel dagger, cutting meat and fish, is still more than rubbing.
Hehe! Walking along the road, sometimes I think that if we can never leave this island, we should build a wooden house on a big tree, so that it will be safer. Because the ecology of this island now looks primitive, there is a great possibility of attacking beasts.
Gurgle
I listened carefully, and yes, it was the sound of the water......
I did hear the sound of water, and I glanced back at them, and no one spoke, but the joy on everyone's face was not hard to see. We quickened our pace and ran to the water source in front of us.
Not far ahead, a canal about two meters wide connects the waterfall in the distance, step by step. The water is so clear that it's exciting. Finding a source of water means that the first condition for survival is realized.
On the rock wall next to the small canal, a hole two meters high and five meters wide appeared. I hurried up to see what was going on. The hole is embedded vertically into the rock wall, and is about fifteen meters deep.
The inside of the cave is much larger than the entrance, and the cave is about 1.5 meters above the ground, and the inside is extremely dry, and there is even a large piece of flat bluestone. We were so excited that we all jumped.
"I'll rest here tonight, and I'll finally have a place to hide from the wind and rain!" I thanked goodness and bowed to the cave. I have always respected this kind of cave and felt that it was providential.
When we entered the cave, everyone was happy, and the smiles on their faces showed satisfaction. I told them to sit down and rest first, and I went out to get some dry branches and make a fire.
Walking alone out of the cave, it was much easier to walk, and I broke a lot of dry twigs in the bushes nearby, tied them into large bundles of vine plants, and carried them back.
On the way, I used a dagger to cut some leafy branches, which I could tie into a broom when I returned to the cave, which was so comfortable that the wild creatures in the mountain must have occupied it long ago. I cleaned the cave carefully, and I did find some strange hairs, and a sense of foreboding came over me.
Xiaowan and Xiaoxiao took the initiative to come up and take the dry firewood from me. I tied the branches together and let the small bowl sweep the floor. They quickly cleared the floor of the cave, brought in some hay and some large leaves, and slept like this for the time being.
Now it's time to think about how to start a fire. Xiaoxiao took the initiative to take charge of the construction of the fire pit, she walked out of the hole, picked up a few stones in the stream next to her, and then in the center of the cave, surrounded a few stones into a small circle, and then grabbed some small dry firewood branches, and put them in a circle to form a pile.
She set up some dry branches in the fire. We are in dire need of fire, and only fire can provide security and food.
Before, when Lu Jianguo and I were fighting against the ghost baby, I used a fire bow to get wood fire. I was going to draw the gourd in the same way, so I found a bent sap and tied it with rattan, but I tried several times and failed. On the mountain road I came to just now, I saw a large bamboo forest, so I thought about it again.
Drilling wood for fire is generated according to the principle of frictional heat generation. The wood itself is relatively rough, and when rubbed, the friction is large and generates heat, and the wood itself is flammable, so it will cause fire.
I went and cut down a dead bamboo. Cut a piece of bamboo from it, take one of them, make a gap in the bamboo piece, put flammable materials such as fluff on both sides of the gap, and fix this gap with another bamboo piece. One head against my abdomen and one bite against the ground. I took another piece of bamboo, and saw it desperately in this gap, and the speed was very fast. After about a minute, the fluff is smoking. I quickly took a mass of fine hairy fibers, put the spark in, and blew lightly, and in a short time the whole fluffy mass was on fire. Finally there is fire! This is also the first time I have drilled wood to make fire!
"There's fish in the stream, I'm going to catch some, and we're going to have a hot cooked meal in the evening." Everyone was afraid of the taste of raw fish, so they smiled and nodded after listening to my words.
On the way back from carrying firewood, I kept walking up the stream in order not to lose my way. On the way, I saw a few blue trout, tracing their source in the clear shallow stream. While it's still dark, if you can catch a few and come back, everyone can sleep with a full stomach.
Along the stream, I came to the place where I had just seen the trout. The four or five dumbfounded guys were still wagging their tails vigorously, trying to swim back to the source, and it was estimated that they were almost in the spawning period.
I caught several trout, ran through the gills with grass vines, formed a small circle, and threw them on the ground first.
In this open water, I'm going to make a trap so that the fish have nowhere to go. At that time, we were guaranteed daily food. This trap is very simple, similar to a concave trap, like a funnel. A body of water is enclosed in a V-shape with stones, and a gap is opened at the tip of the V. Fish swim in and often can't find an exit. I set up the trap and it took me an hour to talk.
I went back with a couple of big fish and picked up the wood on the first floor. I used a dagger to sharpen the wooden strips and cut them into four sections, each with one end sharpened, which I used to thread the fish for grilling. Xiao Wan and Xiaoxiao took the big fish and cut it over there. In a short time, the fish was skewered!
Crackling, crackling, the flames burned violently, and the fish were scorching on the fire...... The aroma is tangy!
After a while, the fish quickly roasted out of oil, bubbling up on the fire, and the smell of fish meat permeated us, and everyone unconsciously made the sound of swallowing saliva.
It's been a long time since we've eaten cooked food, and it's been a gobble. We divided the grilled fish, took the small bowl and took a big bite. I got stuck in her throat with a fish bone, and I hit her the back to spit it out.
The grilled fish was quickly eaten by us. Xiao Wan and Xiaoxiao are women after all, and they propose to go to the stream to wash their bodies, after all, they have been adrift at sea for too long, and they all have a strong smell of sea. Because I was worried about this small island, I wanted to follow and protect it.
Soon came to the pond, smiled and hid in the grass shyly, and quietly took off his clothes. And warned me not to turn back, not to take refuge. I couldn't laugh or cry, all I heard was a pop, and it was obvious that she had jumped into the water. I heard another pop, and I thought the bowl had jumped into the water. Just turn your head and look.
Suddenly, my heart beat faster, and my eyes went blank.
The bowl was still on the water, and she had unbuttoned her blouse, revealing her slender white back in front of me. My chest was bulging, and my white limbs were unobstructed in front of my eyes......
