Chapter 595: Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years
"Fourth master, there are a lot of animals here.
However, there don't seem to be many large ones. ”
There was that clever one, who had already squatted down, carefully identified the footprints and feces of those animals, and then replied to Ning Laosi.
"The big guy put on everything that can hold water, and go to the waterfall to load it."
Ning Laosi pointed to the direction of the waterfall and said to everyone.
Although the water seems to be a living stream, the water in this pool has been drunk by the animals.
Coupled with the feces by the water, Ning Laosi is not hypocritical, but he doesn't want to get sick after drinking such water, what can he do?
In this vast sea, there is no place to find a doctor to see a doctor.
Although he didn't know exactly what was going on above the waterfall, it was better than the one in the pool.
So, go to the waterfall to get water, and then bring it back, boil it and you should be able to drink it.
Although the feces of those animals are somewhat unpleasant, the fact that these animals came to drink from this waterhole proves that there should be no major problems with the water flowing down from this waterfall.
The big guy stepped forward excitedly, took out all the things that could hold water, and then some of the people went back with the water first.
Others, however, began to dig pits and set traps near the waterhole.
You know, fresh meat is almost impossible to eat during sailing.
Originally, there were chickens and ducks on the ship, but they only barely survived at sea for a while.
Their ship sailed here, and the chickens and ducks on board had already been killed.
Even the bacon is almost not much left.
Usually, almost all of them go down to the net to catch seafood and eat.
If it was before, the big guy would definitely like it.
However, if you are asked to eat fish every day, you will definitely have to vomit.
Now that there are animal footprints and feces near this waterhole, everyone can't help but salivate when they think of the pheasant they just caught.
The subordinates over there were digging a pit humming, and Ning Laosi took Ning Mian'er near the waterfall to check if there was any way up.
"Fourth uncle, can you go up here?"
Ning Mian'er followed Ning Laosi and circled around the waterhole, and then found a stream flowing from the waterhole to the outside, and immediately walked down the stream for a distance of almost twenty meters.
Then, raising his arm, he pointed to a sloping stone staircase in the distance.
Ning Laosi looked in the direction pointed by his niece, and his face was immediately happy, and he didn't care about getting his shoes and robes wet in the water, so he directly waded through the stream and went to the opposite place.
I saw that this inclined stone ladder was not artificially hewn, it should have been a stream of water flowing down from here before, and then I don't know why, the water flow changed direction.
When there was no longer any flowing water, the shape of a stone ladder was left like a hand-hewn stone ladder.
It's just that, because it's not hand-hewn, naturally there are some places that you can walk, but some places you can't walk.
If you want to go up, you probably have to work a little more.
If there was no water on this island, Ning Laosi would definitely give up.
But now, the waterhole that flows down from this waterfall proves that the island's water source is not to be feared at all.
And the presence of the animal, with fresh meat to eat, plus the rice in his boat, there was no need to worry about food and water.
Then, he must have climbed this mountain to see the source of the water.
After seeing the waterhole flowing down from this waterfall and the animals on the island, Ning Laosi had a thought in his heart.
As long as he figured out the source of the water, he could decide whether he wanted to carry out the idea or not.
"Mian'er, when the people who carried the water back just now come over with the people on the boat, you call a few more people to come over and clean up the mountain road up here."
Ning Laosi climbed half of the way, and after checking left and right, he said to Ning Mian'er who was standing by the stream.
"Haole, Fourth Uncle."
After speaking, Ning Mian'er turned her head and walked up in the direction of the waterhole.
Soon, she led a group of people towards this direction.
In their hands, they all carried chisels, hammers, machetes, and other tools.
With so many people joining, Ning Laosi's original speed of going up suddenly accelerated a lot.
In some places, when it was obvious that they couldn't go up any further, Ning Laosi asked them to open the way next to the stone staircase.
Soon, he bypassed the obstacle and meandered upwards and upwards.
It wasn't until it was almost dark that Ning Laosi asked people to stop, took people down the mountain, and prepared to go back to the boat to rest.
Although near this waterhole, it is also possible to set up camp.
However, because of the animal footprints and feces, I don't know if there are any fierce animals.
Therefore, it is safer to go back to the ship and live.
Because some of the people were taken away by digging stone ladders, the rest of the people desperately carried water back to the ship.
In half a day, they had almost enough fresh water to go back.
And the pheasant that was caught before was also killed directly, and then it was cleaned at the waterhole before being brought back to the boat.
The internal organs in the pheasant's stomach were left only with the gizzards and chicken livers and hearts, and the other intestines were all thrown into the traps dug before.
Because of such a pheasant, the cook on the boat was cut into small pieces and boiled a large pot of chicken soup.
And the sea fish that Ning Cheng'er had people salvage before, after being cleaned, they were roasted one by one.
Take a bite of this burnt sea fish, eat a bite of rice, and then drink a bite of this pheasant soup, it really feels like a fairy in the day!
The wild eggs were kept, after all, good things can't be made in one meal.
Although the four masters all said that there were animals on the island, they also dug traps, and then the big guys would be able to eat fresh meat.
However, after all, I haven't caught it yet!
As a chef on the ship, you have to ensure the nutrition of the crew, so these wild eggs are kept for the first time, just in case.
After all, there is already pheasant soup, and with a wild egg soup, it's all over in one meal.
If you put the wild eggs in the back and eat them, you can still smell the eggs!
Although such a boatload of people is eating a pheasant stewed soup, everyone has a small bowl, and each person has a small piece of chicken in the bowl.
But the big guy, he still eats with relish.
The pheasant bones were tasted by them repeatedly, and finally they were bitten to pieces, and they almost swallowed all the bone residues into their stomachs.
Seeing the big guy's greedy appearance, Ning Laosi's previous thoughts became more and more firm.
Because of the food and drink, plus the work done today, most people are tired.
After dinner, the big guy almost got on the pillow and began to fall asleep.
The rest, divided into three groups, kept vigil on the deck.
Although I didn't encounter anything today, someone still had to guard it just in case.
If something happens, everyone can find out in time.
After all, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.
