Chapter 2 Find the water source, cut bamboo

After strenuously walking for more than an hour, Shi Miao still found nothing.

And after walking these roads, the dark clouds almost dissipated, leaving only a few light-colored clouds floating, the sun was shining directly, and the temperature gradually increased.

"Master, it's eleven o'clock now. At the ten-meter limit on your right, I found a few good big bracken and golden needles (yellow flowers). You can consider picking them off, and make some soup when you meet the water source, or come with me. Exchange points."

Hearing the Neptune's words, Shi Miao's eyes lit up instantly.

Generally, there will be water sources in places where Salix salix, Cattail, Malian or Lily mustard grow, and the water level is relatively high, and the water quality will be good.

She climbed down immediately, put her ears on the grass, closed her eyes and tried to hear the sound of running water.

Sure enough, after listening carefully for a few seconds, she heard a slight sound of water flowing, not loud, but it should not be far away from her.

"Neptune, thank you, you are such a lucky star!"

When Shi Miao got excited, she stood up quickly and quickened her pace in the direction of the golden needle.

After walking for a few more minutes, the sound of water flowing became clearer and clearer, and Shi Miao's eyes became brighter and brighter.

After seeing a stream flowing from high to low slowly flowing down from the rocks and converging into a small pool, she randomly picked up a stick from the ground and started beating around the vicinity. The little snake quickly got out from the crack in the stone, and then fled quickly.

Shi Miao stood on the rock, looked at the clear water source, took out the pot in his backpack, and scooped up half of the pot of water.

Then, based on the principle of proximity, she put down her bag and took out a shovel to dig a small hole. She used a few stones to form a circle in the hole that could be used for pots. Putting some dead leaves on, taking out the flint and steel, relying on the memory of the original owner, Shi Miao ignited the firewood within two strokes.

It has to be said that the flint and steel brought by the original owner is still very useful. It saves a lot of time and effort than the drilling of wood to make fire when she and her brother went out to play at the border all those years ago.

Put the water pot on the fire, and when the water boiled, Shi Miao first filled a large cup into the thermos, then picked up some mushrooms and green vegetables nearby, and took out five plantains from the bag Cut into slices and cook in boiling water together, a simple vegetable soup can barely wrap the stomach.

The water quality here is very good, and there are no footprints and feces of large beasts nearby. Shi Miao decided to find a place a little further away to see if there is a suitable place to build a shelter as her resting place in the future. .

After filling the pot with half a pot of water again, Shi Miao took the pot and walked as far as possible to a flat place. About one kilometer away from the water source, she found a large open space.

There are only a few big trees around the open space, and all directions can be seen as far as the eye can see.

"This is really a good place. It would be great if we could find a bamboo forest. It's a little easier to build a temporary shelter with bamboo."

Shi Miao looked at the empty surroundings and sighed.

She then placed the pot in the branch of a lone tree nearby.

Shi Miao chose a direction at random, and then went to find suitable materials for building a house.

Perhaps God really heard her prayer.

After turning over two small hills, a small valley appeared in front of her. The valley was full of bamboos and merged into a forest.

Shi Miao's complexion suddenly brightened, she jumped down happily, and couldn't help but smacked her lips twice: "It seems that luck has exploded today."

She put the backpack on the ground, took out the hatchet from it, and turned it upside down. Recalling the method her brother taught her to cut bamboo, she dropped the hatchet and a bamboo fell to the ground.

The hatchet didn't take much effort, Shi Miao was more satisfied, and began to pick up rough chops.

After all, this body is still not good enough, chopping stop and stop, chopping for a full three hours, Shi Miao only chopped down almost two hundred.

"These should be enough to build a bamboo house, and I can use the rest."

She showed a satisfied smile, wiped the sweat from her temples with her sleeves, took out the thermos from her backpack, and drank the water that was not particularly hot. After a short rest, she picked up the folding shovel again Four or five bamboo shoots were dug.

After that, she climbed up the hillside, cut a few soft and resilient vines outside, took them down, and tied the bamboo shoots and bamboo into three bundles.

Picking up her bag, Shi Miao pulled up a bundle of bamboo and headed for the foothold she had chosen.

***
Water Blue Star.

On the alliance live broadcast platform, nearly ten thousand small windows on the homepage are broadcasting the daily life of ten thousand people who have been sent to Nova.

It has been 35 hours since those people were sent to the new star, and nearly a hundred live broadcast windows have disappeared, which means that in such a short period of time, nearly a hundred people have been lost on the new planet.

Every time someone dies, people's moods are lowered.

Because the original body occupied by Shi Miao was once a small anchor with goods, with 10,000+ fans, so after learning that she was selected to open up wasteland for new stars, there were not many people gathered in the live broadcast room where Shi Miao's daily life was broadcast.

At this moment, seeing Shi Miao walking back with such a thick bundle of bamboo, the live broadcast room was amazed.

[Am I blind or is Xinxing's bamboo different from what I remember?Shi Miao, who looks like she can fall down when the wind blows, can pull so many bamboos? 】

[I thought she was frightened to death after hearing that roar, I already lit two candles in front of the computer to send her off, I didn't expect it was just a false alarm.It seems that I have to prepare this candle for her for a few days. When she encounters the beast, it is estimated that she will really become the beast's meal. 】

[I will set up a flag first. If this skinny little girl can live for a week, I will donate [-] catties of food to the alliance for free. If she can live in Xinxing for a month, she will be my father in the future!If she really lives for a year, she will be my ancestor in the future!When I move to Xinxing in the future, I will provide for her every day. 】

[The rich friend upstairs, I like you!If this little girl can really live a good year, remember to keep her word and take me to recognize my ancestors by the way. 】

……

Shi Miao didn't know everything in the studio.

It took her two hours to go back and forth before transporting all the bamboos.

Neptune told her it was after five o'clock in the afternoon.

Feeling the rapid loss of energy in her body, Shi Miao lit the fire first, put a pot on it to boil water, and then went to the stream again.

At noon, she noticed that there were a few finger-long juvenile fish in the stream. She jumped into the stream, touched the stone edge carefully, and quickly touched the crevice of the rock and caught a small fish. She followed the same pattern and caught four or five. Afterwards, the rest of the fish were also scared away when they heard the movement.

She climbed up to the stream and used a dagger to remove the scales and intestines, then picked some big bracken nearby, peeled off the bamboo shoots and washed them, then brought them back and boiled them in a pot. Although the soup tasted far inferior to the pocket delicacies in the palace, Shi Miao drank it very happily.

It was still bright at six o'clock, and while it was still dark, Shi Miao started to chop bamboo with an axe.

She first cut more than 100 bamboos into two meters long, and sawed a groove on each one. After estimating that the number was about the same, she moved over a stone, stepped on the stone and smashed the bamboos with a hammer. Beat the roots side by side without leaving any gaps into the ground.
