Chapter 20: Danger lurks
Wen Xian's unexpected discovery made the whole team fall into a slump again.
One crisis after another made their spirits tense.
Fortunately, there are wild eggs to give comfort, thinking that I can eat wild eggs at night, so I can comfort a little.
After figuring this out, everyone started digging a pit plan again.
Although the pit dug at the entrance of the cave raised a lot of clams and crabs that were still spitting sand, it was too small after all, and no amount of more was enough.
Therefore, in the future, except for Zhou Hui who continued to sew the menstrual cloth, everyone else devoted themselves to the pit digging plan.
The pit dug this time is mainly to set traps, and by the way, you can also raise seafood in it. In addition to digging pits, it is also necessary to prepare pointed wooden piles.
After the pit is dug and the pointed wooden stakes are inserted upside down into the pit, it can be called a trap.
As for the matter of the sharp wooden stake, Wen Xian handed it over to Dali Sheng Li'er. Let her use a dagger and ready-made firewood, first sharpen some sharp sticks to defend herself, and then sharpen the ones she needs to use in the trap.
They didn't stop until night fell again. At the entrance of the cave, two pits of the same size as yesterday had been dug at this time.
Even though everyone is delicate and expensive, but when faced with life and death problems, they did not complain as before, and only occasionally shouted tired.
Wen Xian saw it in her eyes and was very pleased.
But that's not enough, we have to continue tomorrow.
In addition to baking eggs for dinner, Wen Xian also used a semi-dry clay pot to steam chicken fir and sea eggplant.
At the moment, there was no water to cook the soup, so I had to fill half a pot of seawater in an earthen pot, put a few wooden sticks, put plantain leaves on top of the sticks, and put the chicken fir and sea eggplant on it to steam.
In this way, the steamed food has a high moisture content, and the distilled water that settles on the plantain leaves can also be drunk.
The sea eggplant has almost a layer of skin left after the internal organs are removed, which can only satisfy the cravings and change the taste. One person plus a whole wild egg, but it was a full meal.
Seeing the success of the earthen pot, Hu Keer, who was good at planning, said: "There is no soil in the boiling water in this pot, if you don't know it, let's find more clay and make some bowls, so that there is a guy to eat." ”
In the past two days, except for wooden sticks, I have to rely on my hands, and it is difficult to adapt.
Zheng Rou looked at Wen Xian with admiration on her face, and echoed: "Madame is so powerful, how does Madame know that she can make an earthen pot like this?" Let's go make earthen bowls, ma'am. ”
She even felt that Wen Xian was omnipotent and could do anything.
Hearing Zheng Rou's words, the others unconsciously looked at Wen Xian, and in addition to anticipation, there was also a touch of exploration in their eyes.
Those of you who can survive in the deep palace are not stupid people, but there are some things that are not clear. Now that Zheng Rou, who is not awake in her mind, asks it, they naturally have to prick up their ears to listen.
"Yes, if you can't catch the sea tomorrow, you will divide some people to dig the soil." Wen Xian first affirmed Hu Keer's proposal, and then answered Zheng Rou's question.
She pointed to her brain, raised her eyebrows, and said, "Human potential is unlimited, as long as you want to, you can also come up with good methods." Don't worry, if we can only stay on a desert island in the future, you will naturally come up with many ways. ”
She didn't want to say more, and after telling the vigil to take place, she went out of the cave herself. Prepare to solve life's major events by moonlight.
She didn't have any happy thoughts about eating dry before. I just ate some steamed food at this time, but I didn't expect a sudden reaction.
It's all women, and there's nothing to hide. If you want to solve major life events, you can find a hidden place to solve them.
But everyone is decent and can't adapt to solving in the wild at will like a man.
So, Wen Xian came up with an idea, sewed it up with almighty banana leaves, built a simple thatched hut in the grass outside the cave, and dug a pit. If someone is very happy, he will grab the dirt and cover it up after he is done.
By the light of the moon, Wen Xian found that there were no traces of dirt in the pit, which meant that everyone was constipated.
It's just helpless.
What's even more helpless is that great happiness must be wiped on the ass. And what is used to wipe is exquisite.
Poor families in the countryside either use bamboo chips or leaves. That taste, even if Wen Xian has not experienced it, she feels sour.
And under such conditions, bamboo slices are a luxury for Wen Xian. If there is bamboo to make bamboo chips, it is better to make a few more bamboo bowls and a few more pairs of bamboo chopsticks.
Wen Xian glanced around, and finally set her eyes on the large blades of grass that looked fairly soft.
She endured the discomfort and wiped it several times before quickly grabbing a few handfuls of dirt from the outside and throwing it in to cover up.
Then he hurriedly ran away, picked up the seawater stored in the newly dug pit today, and washed his hands carefully several times before returning to the cave.
The pit has to be dug continuously, and some water must be filled in advance to let the water penetrate into the ground, and it will be easier to dig tomorrow.
Today's first half of the night is Hu Ke'er and Bai Rose, and the second half of the night is Zheng Rou and Sheng Li'er.
There was nothing wrong with the first half of the night, so Wen Xian just gave a brief advice and went to sleep first.
In the second half of the night, when it was estimated that it was only twelve o'clock, Wen Xian forced herself to wake up from her sleep and go to the entrance of the cave to see the situation.
There was a wolf howling last night, and she feared the same thing tonight.
Fortunately, after about an hour, there was no movement. She stopped doing it and went back to sleep again.
Vigil must have the rules of vigil, she can't get up every day to keep vigil, so her body can't bear it.
She needs to rest well, there are still a bunch of things waiting for her, and it hurts to think about it.
After a sleepless night, before dawn, Wen Xian got up early to change Zheng Rou and Sheng Li'er to rest.
The two of them stayed for the second half of the night, tense their nerves, and they were already sleepy and couldn't open their eyes. After saying a word, there was no movement, and then he went into the cave to rest.
And Wen Xian, who had already slept enough, was in her spirit, and she came out of the cave to adapt to the darkness outside for a while, so that she could see the situation on the seaside from afar.
Feeling the breath of the sea, Wen Xian stretched her waist and hooked the corners of her lips. It's a good day, the tide will ebb.
When the tide recedes, I will be able to buy more seafood this time.
Last time, she spent too much effort trying to persuade others to catch the sea, and she was able to go to the sea when the tide was completely low.
Not this time, this time she plans to go before the tide completely recedes, maybe she can find some good things.
There is too little meat for clams and other things, and there is no such thing as fish.
As Wen Xian expected, when it came to going to catch the sea in the afternoon, there was no embarrassment or reluctance in the eyes of others except excitement and yearning.
A few people who didn't make it before were even more eager to try it and couldn't wait to go immediately.
Catching the sea meant that you couldn't go to the mountains and you couldn't do anything else.
So, a few people simply ate something, and began to dig the pit and dig the pit and dig the earth. Strive to do more in the morning and catch the sea in the afternoon.
Wen Xian didn't stop them, nor did she participate. Instead, he began to knead the hay and prepare to weave a simple straw basket.
Don't look at these as just grass, but they are full of toughness, and it will definitely be no problem to pack a few catties of seafood. The main thing is convenience, unlike banana leaves that can only be placed on the ground, and it is not easy to hold them at any time.
Moreover, in the past few days, the banana leaves, which are slightly lower in height, have been almost bald by them.
