Chapter 14 Palm Tree Core

Su Xiang, Zhang Lin, Du Jiayue, and Bo Jing all exclaimed in unison, and they all lowered their heads to think.

"Then did you see the bear?" Zhang Lin asked in a deep voice.

Su Meng shook her head: "I didn't see it, but I'm sure it's the animal path where the bear came out, because I found the remaining hair of the bear besides the excrement there."

After another brief silence, Zhang Lin, Bai Jing, and Du Jiayue made their own choices: "We will not quit."

"Okay, then when you come to get water, you must do what I tell you. If you need to go out to chop firewood or pick wild vegetables, you must explain it in time, and carry weapons with you. At least two people are not allowed to act alone." Su Meng didn't say anything more, but just told the rules again.

Xiang, Zhang Lin, Du Jiayue, and Bo Jing solemnly responded, they are not the kind of people who don't know good from bad.

When he came to the pool, looking at the clear water, Bai Jing held the steel pot to fill the water, and was about to put it in his mouth.

"Don't drink!" Su Meng hurriedly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Bai Jing looked a little dumbfounded, holding the steel pot in a daze.

Under extreme thirst, he had already forgotten that fresh water in the wilderness cannot be directly drunk, and besides, the water looked extremely clean and clear.

When he was in the city, he often drank tap water, so he poured the fresh water from the pot into his mouth almost reflexively.

"The water has to be boiled before drinking." Su Meng said angrily, "Did you forget what the training teacher said? No matter how clean the water in the field looks, it must be boiled before drinking."

Hearing this, Bo Jing immediately shuddered, his face turned pale, and he said hastily, "Then let's go back and boil water for drinking."

When the group returned to the open space, Su Meng found the cork branches that she had put on the rocks to dry, took out the leaves of the candle fruit tree, and prepared to start drilling wood to make fire.

She first put the leaves of the candle fruit tree in the palm of her hand, and rubbed her hands back and forth repeatedly until the palm-sized leaves were rubbed into the size of a thumb, and crumbs fell, and the tinder was ready.

Next, a hatchet was used to drill several holes on the dried floor, each hole was about the size of a pea, and a groove was carved on the side of the hole to facilitate the falling of hot wood chips.

Then put the bottom plate on the tinder and separate it with short sticks, so that the hot sawdust can contact more air and increase the chance of success.

After completing the preparatory work, Su Meng sat on the floor, stepped on the floor with one foot, and after aligning the fire drill, slowly rubbed his palms from top to bottom.

She pays great attention to the speed of rubbing, and does not pursue the strength of rubbing, which is to avoid blistering of palms.

This is also Su Meng's experience in making fire by drilling wood for many years.

After rubbing like this for about four or five times, a wisp of light smoke came out.

Su Meng was greatly encouraged by this, and after rubbing it six or seven times, she stopped until she saw that the sawdust itself started to smoke, then she stopped, picked up the bottom plate, and carefully poured the smoking sawdust inside onto the tinder.

Gently blow the smoking sawdust, keep the blowing air even and powerful, let it glow and ignite the tinder, when the tinder emits thick smoke and faint fire, Su Meng takes out the dry twigs that have been prepared and covers it .

With a touch of a flame that represents light, it is considered to be completely burned.

"It's on fire!" Du Jiayue shouted excitedly, and quickly handed over a handful of dry, thin wooden sticks.

A bonfire slowly took shape like this.

Seeing the fire lit, Su Xiang breathed a sigh of relief inwardly. Although he had full confidence in Su Meng, he was afraid that Su Meng's lack of knowledge and experience would cause some trouble.

Moreover, fire can deter some wild animals. It is much safer to have a bonfire at night, and the most important thing is to boil water.

He was really thirsty and wanted to drink water right away!
"I first built a stone stove to boil water. If I put the steel pot directly on the fire, the speed will be much slower, and it is not easy to take the steel pot out of the fire."

After speaking, Su Meng picked up the engineering shovel and dug a small hole, and then used stones to form a circle around the small hole, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.

It is not difficult to build a stone stove. Many people have built such a stone stove when they went out for picnics in their childhood, so it took only a few minutes for a simple but very durable stone stove to appear in front of five people.

Su Meng put the steel pot on the stone stove, and after confirming that the stone stove could bear the weight of the steel pot and not collapse suddenly, she smiled lightly and said, "Now you can boil water."

"What about the other pot of water? Shall we make another bonfire?" Bo Jing stared at the steel pot, his Adam's apple kept rolling.

"I've already started the fire, and I've demonstrated how to build the stone stove, Xiaobai, have you heard a word?" Su Meng raised the corners of her lips, and patted Bo Jing's shoulder in a good mood.

"What?" Bai Jing asked very cooperatively.

"Learn and live forever, if you don't learn, you can't live." Su Meng laughed wildly, and then began to assign tasks again.

In the live broadcast room, watching the wailing crowd, the barrage was full of hahaha.

"Su Meng, are you a devil?"

"I feel so sorry for Daxian, his lips are split!"

"Can't people take a break and drink water before doing things?"

"If Su Meng wants to do it, he can do it by himself, why should he direct us Daxian?!"

"Upstairs, Su Meng has never rested along the way."

"The scenery here is beautiful, there must be a lot of wild animals (funny)"

"Don't be afraid when you meet wild beasts, go up with a sliding shovel, wrap it in egg liquid, and the Taishan Mountain next door will cry greedily"

"..."

In fact, Su Meng is also very tired. Even though her body has been strengthened by the gene fluid, she still can't bear such a strong physical exertion, especially now that her body is extremely dehydrated.

But the shelter must be built today.

The weather on the island is changeable. I don’t know when it will rain. If it rains in the wild, coupled with a tired body, it is easy to catch a cold. If it is serious, she may even have a fever, and she will not be able to go for a while Looking for herbs to treat, when the time comes, you can only choose to quit.

Although building a shelter is a simple matter for her, building a shelter requires collecting corresponding materials.

These all take time.

Su Meng looked at the sky, guessing based on the time spent before, it should be around [-]:[-] noon now.

The island gets dark very quickly. It is very dangerous to go to the woods to collect tree materials after dark, so they must collect the required materials before dark.

There was not much time left for her.

Although the four of Zhang Lin were also very tired, they also understood the priorities of the matter, and they were not the kind of people who couldn't figure out what to do, so they also worked according to Su Meng's assignment.

Because Du Jiayue is a girl and has the weakest physical strength, she stayed at the rock pile to take care of the bonfire and deal with the problem of boiling water.

Su Meng took Bo Jing and Zhang Lin to a palm grove, which was one of the three good things she found.

The duo's job is to harvest a certain amount of palm fronds, which are used to build shelters.

This palm grove was discovered by her while exploring the road. It is not very far from the open space, about seven or eight minutes away.

After discovering that there were actually palm trees here, Su Meng immediately decided to build a palm leaf hut to make do with it. Although it was simple, it could keep out the wind and rain, and it had enough space, and it was simple and quick to build.

Now that they have just entered the wilderness, it is impossible to make it so complicated to build a shelter on the first night. First of all, it is too late, and secondly, their physical strength and conditions are not enough.

Second, palm tree cores are edible!
