Most people in China have probably never heard of plantain core, but in the southwest, it is a common vegetable. Whether it is used in soup or stir-fried, it tastes very good, nutritious, and is very popular with the locals.

This thing is really delicious, the texture is crisp and raw, and the slightly sweet juice in it is bitten on it, and it suddenly flows out. He is now trying to save coconuts by all means, because if he does not wait for rescue within three days, he will have to take the initiative to go to sea. The more coconuts he saves, the more he will be supplied on the vast sea.

The plantain core in this trunk is more than 2 meters long, and after eating it all, Ye Xuan touched his stomach with satisfaction.

He was full now, but he knew that the feeling of fullness would soon fade. Because plantain cores are similar to sugarcane, in which the proportion of water is almost 80%, will ordinary people eat a whole sugarcane, will they be full?

After resting for a while, Ye Xuan clapped his hands and came to the root of the tree. At this time, the groove where the roots of the tree were dug out had a small amount of fresh water.

"Ladies and gentlemen, have you seen the water in here?" Ye Xuan lay on the ground, pointed to the fresh water in the groove, and said with a smile: "The water in this can be drunk without boiling, and it is absolutely safe." ”

After that, he leaned his head over, took a small sip, smashed it, and commented: "The water doesn't have any taste, but it is a little astringent, it should be the astringency of the banana tree itself." ”

"666, another trick learned. ”

"I've heard of banana trees fetching water, but I really don't know that banana cores can be eaten. ”

"Seeing that the patriarch is still so good-looking, I am relieved. ”

"Honestly, is this thing a plantain, and why are there so many seeds in it?"

"My family grows bananas, plantains and bananas, and if you don't cut off the flower heads, they will grow seeds inside. ”

"No matter what the patriarch eats, it feels delicious. ”

"Brothers, when I saw this groove, I suddenly had a bold idea. ”

"Good boy, you're starting it?"

Drinking the water in the groove in one go, Ye Xuan couldn't help but let out a sigh. The fresh water drawn from this plantain tree is sufficient to maintain the electrolyte balance in the body. That translates to a saving of 4 coconuts. But for him, that's not enough. If he really has to go to sea, in the vast sea, the sun is not covered, and he needs to replenish more than 2L of water every day.

And no one knows how long he will drift at sea, rafts are different from boats, rafts can only drift with the wind and waves, so the stored fresh water is not enough at all, but the more the better.

Still have to find the water storage point on the island!

Thinking of this, Ye Xuan stood up, patted the soil on his clothes and pants, and said, "Replenish fresh water and food, let's continue to set off!"

In the first episode of the program, he said that there are three ways to find water in the wild, which are terrain, animal footprints and nearby aquatic plants. But none of the three methods work on this deserted island, and the coral island is flat and free of mammals, so you have to rely on luck to find water.

Fortunately, the desert island is not large, and he can conduct a carpet search.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Xuan still didn't find fresh water, but he completely explored the half of the desert island in the direction of the beach.

"It's four o'clock, and we're making good progress, I've explored about half of the desert island, and I should be able to finish exploring the other side tomorrow morning. ”

Wiping the sweat from his face, Ye Xuan continued: "There are still more than two hours before dark, and there are still many things to do, so I have to go back quickly." ”

Heavy rains in the rainy season can come at any time. Don't look at the sun shining now, the sky is cloudless, and the storm can quickly sweep in a matter of minutes. So he had to build a shelter as soon as possible, gather enough firewood, and then make a fire and find food.

And these things need to be completed in more than 2 hours.

Returning along the same route, Ye Xuan quickly came to the location of the banana tree. IT TOOK MORE THAN TWO HOURS TO FILL THE GROOVES OF THE ROOTS OF THE TREE WITH WATER, WHICH LOOKED LIKE 500ML AT LEAST.

Removing the kettle, he lay on his stomach on the ground, sucked the fresh water out of the groove with his mouth, and spit it into the kettle.

After absorbing the fresh water in the groove, the kettle was also filled with most of it, Ye Xuan rubbed his somewhat sour mouth, and said regretfully: "The plantain can't be used many times to get water, and it won't be long before the roots of the tree begin to rot gradually." But I would like to thank this plantain tree for helping me a lot. ”

With that, he didn't stop, picked up two cut plantain trunks, and walked briskly towards the beach.

By the time we got back to the beach, the sun had already begun to set in the west.

As far as the eye can see, the blue water in front of you is dyed gold, and a few seabirds stroll comfortably on the beach, adding a touch of agility to the scenery.

"Bang!"

The trunk of the plantain tree was thrown on the sand with a dull sound.

"There is no vantage point on this island, so the previous plan needs to be changed slightly. Looking around at the beach, Ye Xuan spoke: "Originally, I planned to build the shelter between the water source and the commanding height, so that it is not only convenient to get water, but also to light the fireworks on the commanding heights as soon as possible when I find an aircraft or boat." ”

"But there was no vantage point on the island, and there was no water source to be found, so I decided to build the shelter on the beach. It has a great view of the sea ahead, and I can set off fireworks as soon as a ship passes by. Okay, time is running out, I need to do it quickly. ”

Building shelter, collecting firewood, lighting a fire, and finding food can all be packed into two hours, making it easy to get busy, especially for those who are new to the wilderness.

At this time, experience plays a crucial role, and the experience of the first two periods has made him grow a lot and know how to deal with it.

At this moment, Ye Xuan did not panic at all, came to a eucalyptus tree, squatted down and began to cut it, and at the same time said calmly: "Many novices who have entered the wilderness for the first time are prone to panic when facing complex situations. At this point, you need to calm down, and as long as you prioritize things, you will find that it is not that complicated. ”

"The first priority is the shelter, I have fresh water now, and I used to eat plantain cores, so there is no urgency for water and food. Once you've secured the shelter, it's time to collect firewood. Because the storm is coming, once the firewood is wet, it will not be possible to raise the bonfire until at least tomorrow night. Then there is the fire, and there is no need to rush the food, because there are many snails and shellfish in the reef area, so you don't need to waste energy and time to collect them, and you can eat coconut meat no matter how bad it is. ”

As he spoke, the small arm-thick eucalyptus tree fell.

The eucalyptus tree was more than four meters long, and the one cut down at noon was enough to build the framework of the shelter.

After cutting off the branches at the top of the trunk, Ye Xuan dragged the trunk to the beach, "The lowest temperature here at night is 26 degrees Celsius, so the role of the shelter is not to keep warm, but to shelter from the rain. So I'm going to build a sloping grass hut, which is a traditional building for the Fijian locals, simple and practical!"
