After walking for a while, he put the water pipe on the ground again and turned back. I went back to the grass just now, picked up the two broken water pipes again, took off the wooden stoppers at both ends, and tried to stuff them into the satchel, but the wooden cork was too big, and the satchel was too full, so I couldn't stuff it at all, so I had to put it in my trouser pocket, and the two trouser pockets were bulging.

Originally, even if the wooden plug was brought back, it could not be used, after all, the thickness of each pipe was different, but Liu Qing was a thrifty person, like this wooden stopper, he brought it back, and when he made a water storage pipe, he could use it by processing it casually, saving him to do it again.

When he returned to the cave, Xiao Wu was still standing at the entrance of the cave and looking around, only to see Liu Qing's figure, and he immediately screamed excitedly, like a puppy who was alone at home and suddenly saw his owner coming back.

When Liu Qing heard its excited cry, he immediately seemed very happy, walked a few steps quickly, rushed to the mouth of the cave, pushed away the stone blocking the gate, propped up the gate, and got in. Xiao Wu shouted a cheer, if it jumped high enough, I am afraid it would directly pounce on Liu Qing's face.

Unloaded the things on his body, leaned on the water pipes, hugged Xiao Wu and kissed a few bites, and Xiao Wu enthusiastically licked Liu Qing's face with his wet and barbed tongue. At this time, Liu Qing felt that it was a good thing that he hadn't caught the little dinosaur just now, or Xiao Wu was more sensible and looked kinder. What's more, the dinosaur's appetite must be surprisingly large, and if it is really caught, I am afraid that it will be another matter whether it can be raised by itself.

Now that there is water, Liu Qing poured most of the pot first, turned on the fire, and boiled dinosaur meat to eat! Ma Dan, who had just been taken aback by the velociraptor rex, had to eat a good meal of dinosaur meat and make up for it! When the water was boiling, Liu Qing cut open the two fruits and ate them with Xiao Wu. He hadn't eaten the fruit for nearly twenty days, Xiao Wu was obviously a little greedy, and he ate all of his own, and he had to pester Liu Qing to eat him. In desperation, Liu Qing gave it most of his own. I re-opened one and ate it.

When the soup was about to cook, Liu Qing took the small wooden box and opened some salt into it, but no one expected that there was much salt left. Think about it, the last time I ate salt was four days ago, there was no water, Liu Qing didn't even dare to eat more salt, for fear that he would be too thirsty, and it would accelerate the loss of water in his body.

Pouring all the salt in the small wooden box into the pot, Liu Qing decided to get some salt in the afternoon. And he plans to get more salt this time, not just for eating, he has more important things, salting salted meat!

After eating, Liu Qing packed up his equipment and went out, Xiao Wu followed him to the door with a little grievance, it really wanted to go out with Liu Qing, but Liu Qing didn't take it, whimpered twice, the gate closed, and watched Liu Qing go away.

When he came to the beach, Liu Qing lit a fire, and the shell of the kettle happened to be a tea jar, which was filled with sea water and burned on the fire. Liu Qing looked at the sea calmly, and the mysterious huge black shadow in the sea had been hovering in his heart.

The firewood in the fire was burned, and the water in the kettle shell was still half a jar, so I added some firewood and continued to burn, and I sat on the beach bored and watched the scenery. Liu Qing remembered that he had heard people talk about drying salt before, sea salt is the salt condensed by drying seawater, and then purifying it, wouldn't he be able to do the same, and he felt that purification or anything was unnecessary, and he didn't have the technology, and the salinity of this sea water was not high, and he only got so much salt every time he boiled a jar of water, if he could dry salt, it would definitely be much more efficient.

So the fire was burning there, and he was also thinking about how to dry the salt.

If you want to dry salt, you must make some seawater and store it separately in the open space, otherwise, the whole ocean will be dried long ago. Well, by the way, dig a big pit and store sea water in it!

So Liu Qing added some firewood and let the fire continue to burn, while he wandered around to find a suitable location. Soon he had found a spot, and there was a large clearing to the right of the big rock where he usually drew seawater, and the sand was thick enough with the sapper's shovel to dig a few times.

After determining the location, digging for a while, I felt that the water should be boiled dry, so I quickly ran over to take a look, it happened that the firewood was also burned, and the water was almost burned dry, and the slightly thick residual water at the bottom was flooded with milky white bubbles, and there were already a lot of white salt frost crystals on the cylinder wall. Remove the jar and let the residual heat evaporate the residual water inside, and add some firewood to the fire.

(Last time, I explained this kind of cross fire, and there was not much firewood piled up in it, so it burned relatively quickly.) The old-fashioned military kettle is a simple kettle, the new-style military kettle is double-layered, and there is a cloth cover on the outside, the kettle is inserted inside the shell, which can be taken out, and the outer layer can be used as a small pot or rice bowl, and the shell also has a folding handle. ）

After the water in the jar had completely evaporated, Liu Qing scraped off the salt frost and put it in the small box. Then he went and fetches the seawater, and continues to burn it on the fire. He ran to the sand pit and worked hard.

However, as soon as he dug out a half-human depth and a one-meter diameter sand pit, he found that there was a problem, this position seemed to be too close to the seawater, and it was only at such a depth that seawater seeped in. Liu Qing shook his head helplessly, this pit is wasted, if there is seawater seeping in all the time, then it will still dry a wool, and it will not be finished at any time!

Jumping out of the sand pit, I walked a few dozen steps into the distance, and it was already about thirty meters away from the sea, and the terrain was much higher than before. This time he didn't dare to dig that deep, only digging to the knee part and then stopped digging down, and began to expand the area, running in the middle to add firewood twice. Fortunately, the location, this depth, no seawater seeping in.

Eventually, he dug a sand pit about four meters long, three meters wide, and about 60 centimeters deep. This should be almost, Liu Qing looked at the fruits of his labor, very satisfied, if it was soil, such a big pit, he would need a long time, but these are sand, in addition to the weight, it can be said that it is effortless to dig up.

However, although the salt pit was dug and it was not early, Liu Qing looked up at the sunset, hurriedly put away the sapper shovel, ran to the edge of the fire, collected the boiled salt frost into a small wooden box, covered it and put it in the satchel. I sprinkled two handfuls of sand to extinguish the fire, and hurried back.

The distance between the cave and the sea is closer than the stream, so this time Liu Qing came back quickly, and he arrived at the cave before the sun set. This is also the lesson of the last time, you can't delay going home because you can't finish something in time, otherwise the danger will be even higher once it gets night.

In fact, the main reason for this kind of thinking is that Liu Qing has never encountered dinosaurs head-on. Liu Qing immediately became angry, took out a pistol and pointed it at the author, and shouted loudly: You just encountered dinosaurs, your whole family has encountered dinosaurs! If you dare to make me and dinosaurs tough, Lao Tzu will kill you now! The author said that he was trembling, and secretly ruthless, dare to threaten Lao Tzu, see how I arrange you!

Heat up the broth at noon with Xiao Wu, and after eating, while it was not completely dark, Liu Qing hurriedly made two water storage pipes until it was dark. Lying on the grass bed, Xiao Wu kept drilling into his arms, Liu Qing held Xiao Wu in one hand, stroked its smooth and soft fur, and thought about what to do tomorrow.

In addition to making salt, he also needs those poison ivy, to collect more venom, bullets are currently rare and non-renewable things, with one less one, he still has to practice the bow and arrow as soon as possible to be more proficient, in the future can use the bow and arrow, as far as possible without a pistol; The chamber is very precise, and if there is rust in it, it will basically be scrapped, so the troops must maintain and wipe after each target, even if they don't hit the target, they will arrange a special time to wipe the gun every week.

In addition to these, he also needs to hunt for food, and the reserve of dried meat in the cave is already very small, and a full dozen is enough for the two of them to eat for another three or four days, and hunting for food is already imminent.

Thinking about it, he fell asleep. Early the next morning, Liu Qing got up, Xiao Wu was still asleep, and when he heard Liu Qing getting up, his ears moved slightly, but he didn't get up. Liu Qing brought the equipment, left two large pieces of barbecue for Xiao Wu, cut them into small pieces, and cut four fruits to put there, waiting for him to get up and eat by himself. I also brought two large pieces of barbecue meat and four fruits.

I went to the sand pit that I dug yesterday, threw all my equipment aside, lit a fire, and continued to burn seawater to make salt. Once everything was ready, he got busy again. First went to the large tall meadow, cut some wide leaves and carried them to the beach, and then spread them one by one in the sand pit, and after all the paving was full, I went to hold a lot of stones and pressed those leaves to prevent them from going out of position.

He did this because he didn't want to end up collecting a lot of sand and going back.

After the bunker was laid, he dug a small ditch to the sea, hoping to bring the sea water into the bunker through this ditch, which would save a lot of time. But he was wrong again, this bunker is much higher than the seashore, and it can't be attracted at all. In the end, he had to run into the grass again, find the hollow plant that made a water storage pipe, cut a section of more than a meter, run to the beach to fill it with water, cover one end with one hand, and run back to the sand pit quickly, and as soon as his hand was loosened, a pipe of water was poured directly into the sand pit.

It took dozens of trips back and forth to fill the bunker.

Looking at the sand pit filled with seawater, Liu Qing felt extremely happy, as if a large piece of salt was beckoning to him. This morning, I poured water and boiled two jars of seawater. He was so tired that he ran back and forth on the soft sand dozens of times with a pipe full of water, and it was no wonder that he was not tired.

After a short rest and some food, Liu Qing planned to go back.
