Survival on the Island starts with a female boss

Chapter 39 Making Stone Axes
Ma Yongqiang used kelp as a rag to pad his fingers, carefully took the boiled kelp and shell broth from the fire, put it on the flat beach, and waited for the soup to cool down.

This seafood set meal with soup, meat, meat and vegetables was finally a little comforting, and the hearts of several people were very hungry.

Although this meal is not particularly full, it should not be said that there is too little meat, but the kelp is still enough to make several people eat a big meal, but kelp is not very hungry after all, because kelp is full of meat. Colloidal kelp meat, although you can feel full in your stomach after eating it, but this stuff makes you hungry quickly.

After a stormy meal, there were food debris all over the floor, Sun Hao touched his still somewhat deflated belly, and muttered dissatisfiedly:

"Just such a little thing, who is enough to eat! If this continues, people will not be starved to death."

Neither Ma Yongqiang nor Yu Tina answered Sun Hao's words, and turned a deaf ear to Sun Hao's complaints.

But both of them understood that what Sun Hao said was also true. If things continued like this, the body would not be able to obtain enough nutrients after eating the last meal, and the body would collapse sooner or later.

Ma Yongqiang suddenly remembered that when Yu Tina was smearing the wound on Yu Tina's foot, Yu Tina took out the foldable umbrella from the high-end messenger bag. If possible, it would be more reliable to use the keel of the umbrella to make a fishing hook Condition.

If you are lucky enough to fish with a hook, you can catch a lot of sea fish in a day, which can at least guarantee the high nutritional protein demand of several people.

Of course, there is no fishing line that can be used for fishing. I can only hope that useful garbage can be found on the beach in the future!
"Mr. Yu, I plan to continue exploring in the woods this afternoon to see if I can find any edible food. It's not an option for us to sit like this all the time. I'll go deeper and hope to find useful materials!"

In order to get rid of the predicament of sitting and waiting to die, Ma Yongqiang decided to go deeper into the woods to explore.

Yu Tina also knew that in order to survive on this isolated island healthily, sitting on the beach and waiting for rescue was not the best choice, so she nodded and agreed to Ma Yongqiang's proposal.

"Okay then! Then you should be careful and pay attention to your own safety, come back early, I will continue to distill some seawater in the afternoon, and try to get our drinking water out today."

After Yu Tina finished speaking, she handed the little fresh water left in the mineral water bottle to Ma Yongqiang and fourth aunt. Ma Yongqiang took the half bottle of drinking water with him. After all, exploring the map is also a very labor-intensive physical activity.

Ma Yongqiang took the half bottle of desalinated water that Yu Tina handed over, carefully put it in his pocket and put it away carefully.

"By the way, Ma Yongqiang will give you this!"

Yu Tina picked up another piece from the side. The cobblestone that looked like an ax was picked up in the morning. The edges were rough and rubbed on the slate a few times. Because Yu Tina is a girl who is relatively delicate and weak, so the rubbing is not very serious. According to the rules, Ma Yongqiang polished it again wantonly to make a simple stone axe.

"You need to sharpen this one. If you encounter danger, it can be used as a self-defense weapon. After all, a stone ax is much sharper than the wooden spear you hold in your hand."

Ma Yongqiang looked at the ordinary pebble with this blade in Yu Tina's hand, took it over, looked it over carefully, and found that the front of the pebble was fan-shaped, and the tail formed a relatively blunt horn.

If the fan-shaped edge of the cobblestone is polished to a sharp edge, and then fixed with a thicker wooden stick, it can be used as a simple stone ax for chopping trees, which should be perfect for the current situation.

As soon as he said it, Ma Yongqiang used an empty mineral water bottle to fetch seawater from the sea, found a relatively flat and smooth big stone, poured seawater on the stone, pressed the pebble to be polished with both hands, and pressed it once and for all. He struggled to grind back and forth on the big rock.

Ma Yongqiang, mechanically waving his sore and swollen arms back and forth, picked up the stone axe and looked at it, gently scraped the edge back and forth with his thumb, nodded with satisfaction, feeling very nice, after adding water back and forth to polish , Finally, the blade was polished.

The next step is to find a thicker and stronger wooden stick, and fix the cobblestone ax on the wooden stick.

Ma Yongqiang searched carefully on the beach for a long time, and finally found a dry wooden stick with a thick end and a thin end. He weighed it in his hand and swung it vigorously a few times. He felt that the firmness was perfectly up to standard.

At the thicker end of the stick, use a small sharp stone to drill a round hole in the center of the stick. After a lot of effort, smashing and twisting finally got the stick through. a round hole.

After the wooden stick has a round hole completely formed, it can be placed on the fire and burned gently, trying to burn the center hole as far as possible. In this way, with the help of the flame, the wooden structure is quickly carbonized, and it does not take much effort to burn it. The volume of the circular hole can be enlarged.

When Ma Yongqiang felt that the size of the round hole was about the same, he picked up the stone ax and stuffed it into the sharp end to try it out. It felt somewhat meaningless. Finally, after repeated experiments, Ma Yongqiang finally combined the stone ax and the wooden stick tightly. Together.

I waved it back and forth a few times in my hand, and suddenly there was a sound of a primitive man slapping his mouth with a shit ax and making a whoo, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

And use the rope to cross back and forth at the junction of the ax and the wooden stick, and bind it firmly to prevent the ax from breaking the wooden stick suddenly when in use. The method of cross binding will make the combination of the two tighter and better protected. Stick durability.

On the other side, Yu Tina, under Ma Yongqiang's reminder, carefully handled the pile of wormwood leaves that Ma Yongqiang brought back, took a little wormwood leaves and put them next to the fire to dry the water, trying to keep the wormwood leaves as dry as possible Spend.

When the moxa leaf moisture is almost roasted by the flame, when it is dry, the moxa leaf is carefully crushed with stones, and unburned charcoal is added to it, and mixed together, just like kneading noodles, kneading back and forth.

Of course, you must not add water. The mucus secreted by the kelp is a better bonding material. Wait until they are completely kneaded together.

Use your hands to rub out long strips on the slate, because after all, you are living in the wild, there is no good modern adhesive, and the long strips should not be too thin, and finally the long strips made by mixing mugwort leaves and charcoal are rolled into a circle , placed on a slate, and dried in the strong sun to evaporate excess water.

Such a simple and very effective field mosquito coil is basically ready. After the final drying, it can be lit next to the mosquitoes when they come out at night, which can effectively avoid mosquito bites.
