Chapter 50: Parasites
The arrival of the wooden door of the cave made everyone excited. Everyone began to disperse, looking around for signs of other planks.
However, apart from this one, no other planks were found.
Seeing that the sea water was rising, Wen Xian asked everyone to come up first, and there was no need to look for it again.
Sheng Li'er said in frustration: "It's all my fault, I knew that I should have found this plank earlier, so that I could have more time to find other planks." ”
She picked up seafood for an hour before she found the big plank. If you find it at the beginning of your visit, you might be able to pick up something else.
You can't make a big boat, only a plank floats by.
Wen Xian shook her head and comforted, "This plank is big and sturdy, and it's normal for it to run aground on the beach. But except for the bottom of the ship, the planks of the other hulls have probably long since broken into small pieces and drifted farther away. ”
She paused and continued: "We're lucky to be able to pick up such a large piece, let's go, carry it back first, and it can be placed at the entrance of the cave tonight as a door." ”
She actually wanted to wait for the plank to dry before using it, but she also thought that it would be the same for the hole.
There was no sun left and right at night, and there was no continued soaking in the water. It's better to use it first, liberate the night watchman, and wait for the day to move out to dry.
There is a large stone more than one meter high at the mouth of the cave, and only about one meter and a half wide can be passed next to the stone.
Even though the passage looks so narrow, the height of the hole is three meters high enough to make the planks smaller.
The two-meter-long, one-meter-wide, one-meter-wide planks can only be used horizontally. In this way, the entrance to the cave can be blocked in the middle of the large stones.
Putting the wooden planks on it will give you a sense of security, even though there is still a gap of 1.5 meters from the roof of the cave.
The position of the wooden door is determined, and then you have to find a way to fix the wooden door.
Although it is called a wooden door, Wen Xian is still self-aware, she can't make it into a door properly, she has to find another way.
She observed for a while, then rummaged through the firewood and found that there were no suitable tools. So, while it was still dark, he walked towards the woods with a big knife.
Sheng Li'er hurriedly followed: "Madame wants to chop wood?" I'm here to help. ”
Xu is because she found the wooden door, and there is always an inexplicable emotion in her heart, and she always wants to have a beginning and an end to make this thing more perfect.
Wen Xian also noticed this, she hooked her lips and smiled and agreed, "Okay." ”
Sheng Li'er has great strength, and she is several times faster than her in cutting down trees. With such a divine assist, of course she would not refuse.
The two quickly cut down two trees, removed the branches and leaves, and pulled the trunks back to the cave.
According to the distance between the wooden door and the cave wall, repair and reduce until it reaches a suitable length.
The two stout wooden sticks that had been repaired were pressed against the door at one end, and the other against the cave walls on both sides, just snapping into the position that Wen Xian had found earlier.
In this way, no matter how hard you try outside, you can't knock the wooden door open. Unless you smash the door and two sticks, or smash the wall of the cave.
After setting it up, Sheng Li'er was eager to try: "I'll go outside and try to see if I can knock the door open." ”
You have to experiment before you can really feel at ease.
As soon as she brought it up, Hu Ke'er couldn't help but remind: "You keep it a little, but don't smash the door that you finally found." ”
Even if this door is not so strong, it can provide protection from the wind and rain and give it a little more security.
Sheng Li'er glanced at Wen Xian weakly, turned her head to Hu Ke'er and promised, "I'll pay attention." ”
However, Wen Xian raised her eyebrows and said, "Even if you hit it, just be careful not to hurt yourself." ”
After speaking, she turned to Hu Ke'er and explained: "Don't worry, it won't be broken." ”
Believe in the science and believe in her.
The corners of Hu Ke'er's mouth moved slightly, and she didn't say anything more. only stared at the wooden door, for fear that one of them would be accidentally smashed by Sheng Li'er's strong man.
However, her worries were unwarranted.
As Sheng Li'er gradually increased her strength to experiment, the wooden door only changed from a small tremor to a big tremor. Other than that, there was no damage.
Until dinner, everyone was still in the excitement and incredulity.
Among them, Sheng Li'er was the most excited.
Although her arm was red when she hit the wooden door, she didn't shed a single tear, but her eyes were shining, and the whole person was very excited.
was so excited that she didn't hear Wen Xian's explanation of the method of eating white shrimp, so she directly stuffed the white shrimp with the shell into her mouth.
"Shut up, keep shrimp under your mouth." Fang Jiaren, who was sitting next to Sheng Li'er, quickly pinched the shrimp head that was still outside, and rescued the whole white shrimp from Sheng Li'er's mouth.
Wen Xian's eyelids jumped slightly, and she twitched the corners of her mouth and silently watched the two of them perform.
Sheng Li'er came back to her senses, and after being dazed for a moment, she clenched her little fists and said angrily: "Why don't you let me eat shrimp." ”
How can you snatch food from her mouth, she is wronged!
Fang Jiaren stuffed the shrimp stained with Sheng Li'er's saliva into her hand, shook his hand in disgust and said: "You see who eats shrimp like you, Madame's words, you should be the wind in your ears, the left ear goes in and the right ear goes out?" ”
Sheng Li'er was slightly stunned, looking at the shrimp shells and shrimp heads in front of everyone, with a confused expression on her face.
The white rose on the other side said weakly: "Madame said that the shrimp head cannot be eaten, there are internal organs, insects, and dirty in it." There is also a shrimp line that cannot be eaten, so it has to be singled out. ”
She paused, stopped talking, and finally whispered: "If you want to eat shrimp skin, you can also do it, Mrs. said that you can dry and grind the shrimp skin into powder to eat it to supplement calcium." ”
She didn't really understand why there were worms in the Shopee, but she didn't need to figure it out, she just figured out how to eat it.
Zheng Rou, on the contrary, couldn't bear the doubts in her heart and didn't figure it out.
She was busy eating before, and now she happened to have an introduction, and she was finally able to ask the question that stayed in her heart: "Why are there worms in the shrimp head, why can the shrimp shell supplement calcium, and what is calcium?" ”
Raising the question in her heart, Zheng Rou let out a sigh and finally felt comfortable.
The others also looked at Wen Xian, waiting for her to answer.
They don't have to ask, but when someone asks, they're curious about the answer.
The corners of Wen Xian's mouth twitched slightly, and she sighed and explained: "The so-called insects are not the visible insects you think, but parasites. ”
Parasite is a new term, and before Zheng Rou opened her mouth to ask, she hurriedly converted the professional term into words that these natives of ancient times could understand.
"Parasites are like bacteria, things like plagues. You can't see or touch, but you can make people sick. ”
"Plague!" Sheng Li'er screamed, and hurriedly threw the white shrimp out in her hand, she didn't want to get the plague.
Wen Xian: ......
She silently gave herself two mouths in her heart, so that she could not hide her mouth, not considering how much shadow the plague had on the ancient people.
