Smuggling Daming

Chapter 103 The Life-Saving Bamboo

"Zhou Zhong, look over there, we have water!" Just as Zhou Zhong sat down on the beach and lost his desire to survive, Xie Lingyun, who was standing next to him, pointed to a place behind them and shouted loudly. shouted, his voice full of surprise.

Hearing Xie Lingyun's surprised voice, Zhou Zhong immediately turned his head to look, only to find that Xie Lingyun was pointing at a bamboo forest next to the forest. This bamboo forest is not very big, but the bamboo grows very thickly. Dance gently.But apart from the special nature of this bamboo forest, Zhou Zhong didn't find any suspected water source.

Just when Zhou Zhong wanted to ask Xie Lingyun, he saw that she was already running towards the bamboo forest. Zhou Zhong had no choice but to follow. When they came to the bamboo forest, Xie Lingyun immediately knelt down and put his ear to the Knocking one by one on the bamboo made a "empty" sound at first, but after she tried a few times, suddenly the sound from one of the bamboo joints was obviously different.

"Quick, cut this section of bamboo!" Xie Lingyun said happily at this time, with a happy smile on her face that she had never seen before.Zhou Zhong didn't know the reason, so he raised his knife and asked Xie Lingyun to cut under the bamboo joint that Xie Lingyun was pointing at, but what he didn't expect anyway was that the extremely clear fresh water flowed out from the opening he cut.

"This..." Zhou Zhong really didn't expect that there would be water in the bamboo joints, so he couldn't react for a while.

But at this time, Xie Lingyun stretched out her hand to press Zhou Zhong's head and said anxiously: "Drink quickly, don't waste it!"

Zhou Zhong also came to his senses at this time, and hurriedly climbed down to drink the water from the bamboo.As a result, he found that the water in the bamboo was not only sweet, but also had a clear fragrance of bamboo, which was several times more delicious than ordinary mountain spring water.The only pity is that there is too little water in the bamboo, Zhou Zhong drank a few gulps and it disappeared, which made him feel unsatisfied.

When Zhou Zhong stood up, he suddenly found Xie Lingyun standing beside him, sticking out her pink tongue and licking her chapped lips, her eyes were full of longing.Seeing this, Zhou Zhong couldn't help screaming inwardly.Just now he was only drinking for himself, and he forgot that Xie Lingyun hadn't drank any water either.

Xie Lingyun also noticed Zhou Zhong's embarrassment at this time, but she smiled and said: "Let's look for it again, the land is very humid, and it's shady, there should be water in many bamboos. "

Hear Xie Lingyun's words.Only then did Zhou Zhong feel the embarrassment relieved, and he took the knife and began to knock on the bamboo. After a while, Zhou Zhong also found a bamboo joint with an incorrect sound. After calling Xie Lingyun, he stabbed the bamboo joint A cut was made below.Sure enough, clear water also flowed out.

Now Lingyun couldn't care about anything else, and also leaned down and put her cherry lips on the bamboo and drank.It wasn't until I drank the water in the bamboo joints in one breath that I stood up and said with a long sigh of relief: "It's the first time I've grown up and felt that drinking water is a happy thing."

At this time, Zhou Zhong asked with a smile: "Miss Xie, how do you know that there is water in the bamboo?"

"Heck~ Actually, when I was at home, I liked bamboo more. The house I lived in was full of bamboo. Over time, I learned more about the habits of bamboo, such as the bamboo forest we are in. It happens to be in In the shade, the sun is not easy to shine, and the ground is relatively humid, so the bamboo growing in this kind of place can easily accumulate some water in the bamboo joints, and I am not very clear about the specific reason!" Xie Lingyun explained with a smile, and she also I didn't expect that my hobby of bamboo would save my life here.

After hearing this, Zhou Zhong also exclaimed how lucky he was, if Xie Lingyun hadn't understood the habits of bamboo, I'm afraid even if he wanted to break his head, he would never have thought that some bamboos would contain sweet fresh water.

Next, Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun knocked all over the small bamboo forest, and found 25 bamboo joints filled with water. They all carved marks on these bamboo joints, and they can cut them when they drink water. open to drink.

"Huh?" Just as Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun sat in the bamboo forest and rested for a while, and were about to leave the beach where the fire was moved to this side, Zhou Zhong noticed something strange on a bamboo, which made him immediately Crouch down and watch.

This is a bamboo that has just been cut open by Zhou Zhong. The water in it has been drunk, but the water is still slowly soaking out of the hole he cut open. This discovery made him very happy, and hurriedly I drilled a hole in the bamboo with the tip of a knife, and then cut a thin bamboo and inserted it in the hole. Sure enough, I saw the water seeping from the bamboo slowly dripping down the thin bamboo tube. The water in the knots, the water seeped from these bamboos can be regenerated.

"Zhou Zhong, you're so smart, so we don't have to worry about running out of water after drinking up the water in the bamboo joints!" Xie Lingyun looked at the clear water dripping from the thin tube, and jumped up like a child and shouted, Although the bamboo knot water they found has more than 20 knots, they will be drunk one day. Now Zhou Zhong found that water seeps out of the bamboo continuously, which is equivalent to having a continuous water source. Just get a few more Collect the water that seeps out of the bamboo so they never have to worry about drinking water again.

Zhou Zhong also seemed very happy, he immediately cut down a bamboo, and then made a section of bamboo into a bamboo tube and put it under the thin tube, so that the water droplets can just drip into it.Then he did the same thing, drilled holes in other bamboos and inserted bamboo tubes, and made more than 20 such water-collecting devices in a row. Only then did he and Xie Lingyun leave the bamboo forest.

Next, Zhou Zhong discussed with Xie Lingyun and decided to settle down on this big beach. First, the terrain here is open, which is convenient for search and rescuers to find them. Second, when collecting water in the bamboo forest, someone needs to be guarded, so as not to be spoiled by animals and seabirds. .So they went back to the original beach and packed up some useful things. In fact, there was nothing at all. It was nothing more than tinder and some things found from the debris of the ship. Although they are not used now, they may be used in the future. superior.

Bringing the fire to the big beach where the bamboo forest is located, it was already noon, Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun lit up the fire again to cook, this time Zhou Zhong caught two big fish at once, and within an hour, the bamboo forest Zhou Zhong was both shocked and happy to have collected clear water from two large bamboo tubes. He did not expect that the bamboo itself has such a strong water absorption function. According to this collection speed, they no longer need to drink the water in the bamboo joints.

At lunch, the two of them ate grilled fish and drank water. This should be the most comfortable meal they had after living on this deserted island. They don't have to worry about safety. They also have a source of food and water. Now they can only If he needs to live here, the Xie family will definitely send a ship to look for Xie Lingyun. As for whether he will hold Xie Lingyun as a hostage and threaten the Xie family to send him back?He hasn't figured this out yet.

After lunch, Zhou Zhong discussed with Xie Lingyun, and the two decided to build a temporary residence on this big beach. After all, they don't know when the rescuers will find this place, maybe they will stay here It takes more than ten days or even longer, and the weather on the island is unpredictable, so it is necessary to build a place that can shelter from wind and rain.

This beach is the windward side of the island, and it is likely to receive strong sea breezes. Therefore, the temporary shelter must be strong. Of course, it is best to use natural shelters such as caves. Unfortunately, on this beach, there are only sand and reefs. There is no cave where people can stay. Of course, there may be such a cave on the cliff behind the forest, but it is too far away from here.

In the end, Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun discussed for a while, and finally decided to build a temporary residence by the woods. First, it is relatively close to the bamboo forest, so it is convenient to fetch water. Second, it can use the trees in the forest as pillars. It is not easy to build a residence like this. Blown down by the wind.

Zhou Zhong found two sturdy trees side by side at the edge of the woods, and cleared out a space between the two trees. Moreover, Zhou Zhong was worried that there might be bugs in the ground, so he piled firewood on purpose and burned it until the ground was hardened. When Bai Shi was satisfied, he began to build a house with satisfaction.

I saw that Zhou Zhong cut down a relatively thick tree, and nailed the two ends of the thick wood to the two trees to tie them tightly. Afterwards, it was much easier. Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun cut down a lot of thinner wood, Then put one end on the rough wood and tie it tightly. As for the other end, you only need to bury it in the ground, and the slope formed is just facing the direction of the sea breeze, so that no matter how strong the wind is, it will not blow the top. turn.

The two of them worked for a whole afternoon, and they finally built this simple shack. The two sides and the front were also blocked by the broken wooden boards they moved, and all the nails on these wooden boards were taken out by Zhou Zhong, making it easy to The shack was built very solidly.

"Huh~, it's finally built!" Zhou Zhong nailed the last piece of wood, then sat down in front of the shack and gasped.

Xie Lingyun next to her was also very tired. She raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, but instead of sitting down to rest, she walked to the open space in front of the shack and lifted the last remaining piece with great effort. The big wooden board, and then move it into the shack little by little.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhong couldn't help being a little surprised, and said immediately: "Xie Lingyun, what are you doing moving the boards, do you want to make a bed inside?"

"I..." Xie Lingyun blushed at this time, hesitated for a while and finally said, "I want to separate the inside, I don't need your help for this!"

Zhou Zhong finally understood now, it turned out that the shack was set up, and they were going to be in the same room together, Xie Lingyun must be worried about what Zhou Zhong would do to her, so she wanted to separate the space.

Seeing Xie Lingyun struggling to move the wooden planks inside, Zhou Zhong didn't intend to help at all, but still sneered in his heart. If he really had any thoughts about her, he might have done it last night, why would he wait until now?Besides, what can a mere piece of wood block? (To be continued.
