shock!Empress Dowager

Chapter 44 The upgrade of the Aquaman is completed, Shimiao is looking for water vines
"Ao Ao, don't cry, it's a big deal, let's see if we have a chance to catch one at the beach in the next two days, okay? If we really don't meet a turtle, let's catch a crab or ask a civet cat for help~"

Seeing her younger brother's aggrieved appearance, Gu Tianjiao's heart ached immediately.

Gu Ao's heart was troubled again.

The comforting words of these people are too irritating.

"Okay, it's getting late, my husband is angry, everyone's clothes are soaked, and it's easy to catch a cold if you keep wearing it like this. Tianjiao took Gu Ao to find something to eat around. Aunt Liu is nearby to help everyone sleep tonight hammock."

Watching the sky gradually darken, Shi Miao let out a long sigh of relief, her body was so wet that it was really uncomfortable, and the scabbed wound began to ache again because of today's falling into the water.

"understood."

After everyone went to work on their own, Shi Miao took out the flint and steel from the bag, only to realize that the flint and steel was wet, and it was still dripping water when it was taken out.

She took out all the things in the bag and put them on the stone to dry.

"It looks like I'm going back to my old job today."

Shi Miao sighed helplessly, there was not enough temperature to dry the flint and steel, so if he wanted to make a fire tonight, he had to rely on drilling wood to make fire.

She got up and walked into the woods, and began to look for dry firewood branches, and picked up a piece of wood of a suitable size,

When she was about to carry these things over to make a fire, her eyes were attracted by a tree.

This is a paper bark tree, the top layer of bark is like layers of thin paper, Shi Miao couldn't help but reach out and grab it, and the thin and brittle bark was pulled off.

This is an extremely flammable material, and it is much easier to start a fire with it than a blade of dry grass.

After that, she chiseled a small groove on the block, and then put the bark of the paper bark tree on top of the block. After stepping on the block with one foot to ensure that the block did not move, she began to pick up the stick He kept rubbing his hands back and forth.

It's been a long time since a fire was lit like this, and Shi Miao did it very carefully.

When smoke rose from the wooden block, Shi Miao's eyes lit up, and she rubbed it more seriously, and when a spark appeared around the groove of the wooden block, she carefully blew it up.

Soon, sparks ignited the bark of the paper bark tree, and Shi Miao hurriedly put the twigs she picked up on the fire to ignite it, and started the fire.

At this time, Gu Ao and Gu Tianjiao also came back. Perhaps the waves were too big, and many creatures were washed up. They were lucky enough to pick up a salmon weighing five or six catties, and two octopuses with fat heads. , three Pippi shrimps, and a crab that was very big but not named.

"Hey, the fire seems to be burning a little slowly today?"

Seeing that they all came back and the fire in front of Shi Miao was still small, Gu Tianjiao was a little surprised.

"The flint and steel is so wet that I can't use it. I can only rely on the primitive method of drilling wood to make fire."

Shi Miao looked helplessly at the two talking, it was only a matter of rubbing the wood for a while, and her palm began to ache.

Fortunately, the flint and steel can still be used after it dries up, otherwise, if she had to rely on drilling wood to make fire for every meal, she felt that it would be too tortured.

"Drilling wood to make fire? Shi Miao, you actually know how to do this?"

Gu Tianjiao's eyes suddenly widened.

As a human being, Shi Miao seemed to be a bit too superior to them.

"Well, I prefer to study the ancients, so I have learned some before."

A few minutes later, Liu Ailing walked over with a smile, still holding a few things in her hand.

"Guess what I found while setting up the hammock?"

As she spoke, she put a few items in her hand in front of them.

Gu Tianjiao and Gu Ao looked dumbfounded, but Shi Miao's face showed a hint of joy.

"There are two-leaf sweet potatoes and horseradish here?"

"Is this sweet potato? Is that what I think horseradish means? Can we have spicy?"

Gu Tianjiao's eyes suddenly lit up surprisingly.

"Hmm! Everyone has lived a hard life at sea these two days, so everyone will have a good meal tonight.

Then Tianjiao will wash the sweet potatoes and horseradish, and Aunt Liu will handle the salmon.I'll see if I can get everyone some drinking water. "

Shi Miao is in a good mood to improve the food tonight.

She picked up the hatchet and pot and walked into the woods, and began to knock on various vines. Just as she was about to try her hand at cutting off a vine, the familiar voice of the Neptune sounded in Shi Miao's mind.

"Dear master, it seems that you are lucky and successfully landed on the new island, but the vine in your hand is not a water vine."

"Neptune, have you successfully upgraded?"

Hearing Neptune's voice seemed to be a little more mature, a smile appeared in Shi Miao's eyes.

"Yes master, now I can detect a distance of 20 meters around you, and many props in the point mall have also been upgraded."

Neptune replied obediently.

Then he continued: "The water vines that the master is looking for, there are three under the mangrove tree at 23 steps toward your three o'clock."

"Thank you!"

The return of the Neptune made Shi Miao feel better again.

"By the way, is there anything unusual in this land now?"

If it appeared on the back of a creature again, Shi Miao felt that she was going crazy.

"Master, the land under your feet is normal. I can normally survey the ground below 20 meters. You can live here with peace of mind in the future."

"That's fine."

Shi Miao split a hard vine with a hatchet according to the instructions of the Sea King. Sure enough, water flowed out of the broken vine instantly.

The water in the wild vines is very clean and can be drunk directly, and each vine can be filled with about a glass of water.

Shi Miao put the vine in his mouth and took a few sips before putting the vine in the pot to catch the water.

After chopping four or five vines in a row, the small iron pot was filled to the brim.

Shi Miao walked back contentedly with the small iron pot.

"Are you all thirsty? Drink some water first, and use the rest to cook the crab and shrimp."

"Is there...is there fresh water nearby? How did you get it, Shi Miao?"

Gu Tianjiao looked at Shi Miao with joy.

They have been living on coconut milk for a week, and they almost forgot what the water smells like. Unexpectedly, Shi Miao got a pot full of water, which still looks very clear.

"I'm lucky. There are water vines in this forest. You should drink a little first. If you think it's not enough later, I'll take everyone to find water vines."

"What is water vine?"

This has completely reached the blind spot of everyone's knowledge, and all three of them looked at Shi Miao eagerly.

"A kind of vine, which looks very similar to ordinary vines in the forest. It is all luck to find it. There is a lot of water in its vines, and it is very clean, so you can drink it directly."

Shi Miao smiled lightly for the three of them.

By the way, I took three bamboo tubes from the drying stone and poured some water for all three of them.

　Thank you Xuexuan, Mersey, for traveling hand in hand, living up to the time, Miss Shisan Shishao for your votes, boo~
