Chapter 36 Exchange supplies, the last day before going to sea

"Master, have you seen the pile of dead wood seven meters to your right?"

The Neptune's words were simply heavenly sounds to Shi Miao who was physically and mentally exhausted at this time.

Following the direction pointed by the Sea King, Shi Miao looked over.

It was another pile of wood that had been blown by the waves for an unknown amount of time. It seemed that it had been a long time, and the bark of the trees seemed to have deteriorated.

However, since the Neptune will let her see this pile of dead wood, there should be wood she needs in the dead wood.

Shi Miao walked over at a faster speed, looked at more than a dozen pieces of wood that did not seem to be of the same species, and finally landed on the two thinnest dead wood in the middle, with a gleam of light in his eyes.

"This is... the torso of the camphor tree?"

Camphor tree is relatively light in texture, which happens to be one of the more suitable woods for making oars.

"Master, it looks like you're lucky. The trunks of these two camphor trees are just right to be used as oars."

Neptune also knew that Shi Miao was under a lot of pressure these two days, so she tried to comfort her with a cheerful tone.

"Well, it's not too early now, you can go back..."

Seeing that there was only the last smear of whiteness left on the horizon, Shi Miao sighed softly.

She pulled two camphor logs out of the crowd, and returned to the starting point with one under each of her left and right arms.

Liu Ailing had already grilled the fish at seven o'clock, but Gu Tianjiao and Gu Ao insisted on not eating it because Shi Miao hadn't come back yet, so they searched for wild vegetables nearby and dug for seafood.

The purpose of Gu Tianjiao's search is very simple, she just thinks that they need to bring enough food when they go to sea.

Gu Ao's purpose is to help Shi Miao, but also to help everyone.

Although he can pick herbs to improve his small medicine box, judging from Shi Miao's efforts to find all kinds of materials, although she doesn't know what the props in her hand are, she should be able to exchange materials for things that are more helpful to them. Something to go to sea.

After Shi Miao dragged her tired body back, it was already 08:30.

It was also completely dark.

"Shi Miao, you came back so late, did you find suitable wood?"

Gu Tianjiao, who looked up every now and then, finally saw Shi Miao's figure this time, with a sweet smile on her face.

"Well, I found it. We can make the oars tomorrow morning. In the afternoon, everyone can relax and collect some food. If there is no accident, we will leave here the morning after tomorrow."

Shi Miao smiled lightly and pulled the two camphor logs over and put them down beside the raft.

"Come here and eat the fish. These two people see that you haven't come back and insist on waiting for you. The fish has been roasted for some time, and it's not too hot. It's just right for you to eat."

Liu Ailing looked at Shi Miao with a deep smile in her eyes, and she looked up to Shi Miao even more from the bottom of her heart.

This little girl has too much tenacity, and she really doesn't want to stop for a moment for everyone's safety.

"Okay, Tianjiao and Gu Ao come over for dinner~"

Hearing that everyone is waiting for him, Shi Miao's heart is also warm.

The four people and one cat were blowing the sea breeze, probably because they were too tired this day, everyone was eating fish seriously, and they even talked a lot less than before.

"Shi Miao, how much supplies do you still need?"

When he was almost full, Gu Ao looked at Shi Miao and asked.

If the difference is too great, then they will stay up all night to continue searching.

Shi Miao roughly estimated that she now has about [-] points. Excluding the perpetual motion machine recommended by the Neptune, and deducting a [-]-point guiding stick, the remaining [-] points can be exchanged for water-avoiding pills Seven, one hundred points left...

As for her landlubber, she still needs to upgrade her swimming skills in order to increase her chances of winning by two more points in the sea.

"Probably, take a good night's rest tonight, get up early tomorrow morning to catch the sea, make the oars and collect some in the afternoon."

Shi Miao gave a rough estimate.

"Then let's see how much these can hold?"

With that said, Gu Ao pointed to the bamboo basket behind him.

There are more than half of the baskets of seafood in the bamboo baskets, which are all the results of his collection this afternoon.

"You... want to give it to me?"

There was a hint of surprise in Shi Miao's eyes.

Gu Ao nodded.

Shi Miao was not hypocritical, and chuckled lightly: "Thank you!"

She asked the Neptune to estimate that a total of 560 points could be exchanged.

In other words, she still has 660 points here.

She is going to give everyone three water-repelling pills. If there is any unavoidable trouble to enter the water, breathing freely for 15 minutes is a great vitality. it is good.

The remaining points are to strengthen her herself.

Liu Ailing and Gu Tianjiao couldn't understand what Gu Ao and Shi Miao meant, but they didn't ask too much. Anyway, they were at the beach now, and there was no shortage of food. It didn't matter what Shi Miao wanted to do with these supplies.

After dinner, Shi Miao helped Liu Ailing change the wound medicine and gauze again.

Because the clothes Liu Ailing washed by herself today had already dried, she didn't wrap a pile of gauze around her body, but changed into her own clothes.

Afterwards, it was getting late, and the four of them chose to spend the night in the coconut grove, fearing that the sea tide would rise again at night.

There are no dangerous things in the coconut grove except mosquitoes, but in order to prevent some insects from crawling on the body.

Although the body and brain began to scream, Shi Miao still resisted and led several people to cut the vines. Each of them chose three coconut trees at a suitable distance, bound the vines two by two, and crossed several vines in the middle one by one to form a A simple triangular hammock, I took the blanket out of the backpack and climbed into the hammock to sleep.

"Sea King, I want to upgrade my swimming skills by five points first."

"Good host."

……

After a good night's sleep, everyone's spirits were obviously much better than yesterday.

Liu Ailing's body has almost slowed down after a day's rest yesterday, and today she can go for a short distance walk by herself.

05: 30.

Liu Ailing continued to make breakfast.

Taking advantage of the ebb tide, the three Shi Miao siblings started rushing to the sea again to collect supplies.

At seven o'clock, everyone came back for breakfast.

After that, Shi Miao began to use a saw to split the camphor wood brought back yesterday into a suitable width, and used a dagger to cut the paddle into a round rod bit by bit, and the paddle board below was also cut neatly and flat bit by bit.

The two paddles are about the same size.

At this time, the other three people and the cat were not there either.

Shi Miao directly replaced the perpetual accelerator with the Neptune, and installed it on the raft according to the Neptune's instructions.

This set of perpetual motion machine is very small. After installation, the propellers of the perpetual motion machine will automatically disperse into the gaps of the raft. Before entering the water, others will not be able to see any difference in the raft.

After everything was finished, Shi Miao felt that the big rock in her heart seemed to loosen a little.

In any case, at least for now, all their actions are going smoothly, which is a good start.

After lunch, Gu Tianjiao and Shi Miao experimented with the effect of the raft. The two found a 20-meter-long vine and fixed it at one end of the raft. The raft is pushed into the water.

The moment the raft entered the sea, the perpetual motion engine turned automatically, and Shi Miao rowed with the oars without much force, and the raft floated steadily on the sea surface for several meters at a steady speed with the perpetual motion motion.
