Desert Island Survival: I took my concubine and raised wolf cubs

Chapter 50 Parasites

The arrival of the wooden door of the cave excited everyone.Everyone began to spread out, looking for traces of other planks.

However, no other planks were found except this one.

Seeing the sea water rising, Wen Xian asked everyone to come up first without looking for it again.

Sheng Lian'er said in frustration: "It's all my fault. If I had known, I should have found this board earlier, so that I would have more time to look for other boards."

She found this big wooden board after picking up seafood for an hour.If you had discovered it when you first came to catch the sea, you might be able to pick up some others.

You can't build such a big ship with only one plank floating over.

Wen Xian shook her head and comforted: "This wooden plank is large and strong. It is normal for it to be stranded on the beach. But except for the bottom of the ship, the other planks of the ship's hull may have been broken into small pieces and drifted farther away."

She paused and continued: "We are lucky to have picked up such a big piece. Let's go and carry it back first. It can be placed at the entrance of the cave to be used as a door tonight."

She actually wanted to wait for the board to dry before using it, but she thought it would be the same with the hole.

There was no sun at night, and I didn’t continue to soak in the water.It's better to use it first, free up the night watchers, and then move it out to dry in the daytime.

There is a large stone over one meter high at the entrance of the cave. There is only about 1.5 meters of width left next to the stone to pass through.

Even though the passage looks so narrow, the hole height of three meters is enough to make the wooden plank look dwarfed.

The two-meter-long and 1.5-meter-wide wooden boards can only be placed horizontally to maximize their use.In this way, the entrance of the cave can be covered between the big rocks.

Putting the wooden boards up will make everyone feel a strong sense of security even though there is still a 1.5-meter gap from the top of the cave.

After the position of the wooden door is determined, the next step is to find a way to fix the wooden door.

Although it was called a wooden door, Wen Xian still knew that she couldn't make it into a door seriously, so she had to find another way.

She observed it for a while, then rummaged through the pile of firewood and found no suitable tools.So, while it was still dark, I walked towards the woods with a big knife.

Sheng Lian'er quickly followed: "Madam, you want to chop wood? I'll help."

Maybe it was because she found the wooden door, and there was always an inexplicable emotion in her heart, and she always wanted to finish it from beginning to end, and make this thing more perfect.

Wen Xian also noticed this, she smiled and agreed: "Okay."

Sheng Lian'er is very strong and can chop down trees several times faster than her.With such a divine assist, she certainly wouldn't refuse.

The two quickly chopped down two trees, removed the branches, leaves and tree tops, and pulled the trunks back to the cave.

According to the distance between the wooden door and the cave wall, repairs and cuts were made until it reached the appropriate length.

One end of the two thick wooden sticks that had been repaired was pressed against the door, and the other end was pressed against the cave walls on both sides. They just fit into the position that Wen Xian had found earlier.

In this way, no matter how hard the outside force is used, the wooden door cannot be pushed open.Unless the wooden door and two wooden sticks are broken, or the cave wall is broken.

After placing it, Sheng Lian'er said eagerly, "I'll go outside and try to see if I can open the door."

You have to experiment before you can truly feel at ease.

As soon as she brought it up, Hu Keer couldn't help but remind her: "Please be patient, don't break the door you finally found."

Even though this door is not that strong, it can at least protect you from wind and rain, giving you a sense of security.

Sheng Lian'er glanced at Wen Xian guiltily, tilted her head and promised Hu Ke'er, "I will pay attention."

However, Wen Xian raised her eyebrows and said, "Just hit it, just be careful not to hurt yourself." After saying that, she turned around and explained to Hu Ke'er, "Don't worry, it won't be damaged."

Believe in science, believe in her.

The corners of Hu Ke'er's mouth moved slightly, but she didn't say anything else.He just stared at the wooden door, fearing that it would accidentally be smashed by that strong man Sheng Lian'er.

However, her worries were unnecessary.

As Sheng Lian'er gradually increased her efforts, the wooden door only trembled from small to large.Other than that, there was no damage.

Until dinner, everyone was still in excitement and disbelief.

Among them, Sheng Lian'er was the most excited.

Even though her arms were red after hitting the wooden door, she didn't shed a single tear. Instead, her eyes were bright and she was very excited.

I was so excited that I didn’t listen to Wen Xian’s explanation of how to eat white shrimps, and actually stuffed the white shrimps with their shells into my mouth.

"Shut up, keep the shrimp under your mouth." Fang Jiaren, who was sitting next to Sheng Lian'er, quickly pinched the head of the shrimp that was still outside and rescued the whole white shrimp from Sheng Lian'er's mouth.

Wen Xian's eyelids twitched slightly, and the corners of her mouth twitched as she silently watched the two of them perform.

Sheng Lian'er came back to her senses. After a moment of confusion, she clenched her fists and said angrily: "Why don't you let me eat shrimps?"

How could you take food from her mouth? She felt wronged!

Fang Jiaren stuffed the shrimp stained with Sheng Lian'er's saliva into her hand, waved her hand in disgust and said, "Look at who eats shrimps as well as you do. Are you turning a deaf ear to my wife's words, going in one ear and out the other?"

Sheng Lian'er was stunned for a moment, looking at the shrimp shells and heads in front of everyone with a confused expression on her face.

Bai Qiangwei on the other side said weakly: "Madam said that the shrimp heads cannot be eaten. There are internal organs, worms, and dirt inside. The shrimp threads cannot be eaten either. They have to be picked out."

She paused, hesitated to speak, and finally whispered: "You can eat dried shrimps if you want. Madam said you can dry them and grind them into powder to supplement calcium."

She actually doesn't understand why there are worms in the shrimp skin, but she doesn't need to figure it out, she just needs to figure out how to eat it.

Zheng Rou, on the other hand, couldn't bear to understand the doubts in her heart.

She was busy eating before, but now she had an introduction. She was finally able to ask the questions that were lingering in her mind: "Why are there worms in the shrimp heads? Why can the shrimp shells supplement calcium? What is calcium?"

After raising the questions in her heart, Zheng Rou breathed out and finally felt comfortable.

Everyone else also looked at Wen Xian, waiting for her answer.

They don't have to ask, but if someone asks, they are curious about the answer.

Wen Xian's mouth twitched slightly, and she sighed and explained: "The so-called insects are not the visible insects you think, but parasites."

Parasite is another new term. Before Zheng Rou asked, she quickly converted the professional term into words that these ancient people who were born and raised in China could understand.

"Parasites are like bacteria, things like the plague. They are invisible and intangible, but they can make people sick."

"Plague!" Sheng Lian'er screamed and quickly threw the white shrimp in her hand. She didn't want to get the plague.

Wen Xian:......

She silently gave herself a lie in her mind and allowed herself to speak freely, without considering how much of a shadow the plague had on ancient people.
