After living on a desert island, they all plotted evil against me.

Her feet have now recovered to the point where she can walk normally.

At this moment, Lan Yueting's tone was very sincere and full of gratitude. She knew in her heart that if Zhang Liu hadn't come to the rescue in the rain.

She was afraid that she would have to lie in the heavy rain until now. As for the feeling of drenching and freezing coldness all over her body before, Lan Yueting was really not sure how long she could resist it.

"We are all companions, as we should." Zhang Liu shook his head with a smile, and from the corner of his eye, he happened to catch a glimpse of the guilty looks on the faces of Su Yan, Xiang Lingying and others. He was moved in his heart and quickly added: "Actually, At that time, Su Yan and the others wanted to come together... but I persuaded them to do so."

"Uh?" Lan Yueting was stunned for a moment after hearing Zhang Liu's words.

Then she immediately realized that Zhang Liu was taking the initiative to explain why Xiang Lingying and others didn't come out to look for them together.

"I..." Lan Yueting was a little embarrassed at this moment. First of all, she didn't mean to complain that the others didn't come over.

At the moment of falling, Lan Yueting's only thought was that others must not come out in the rain to look for her.

She definitely doesn't want to drag others down because of herself. She definitely doesn't want to be such a drag.

Zhang Liu's arrival was a miracle like "the arrival of a hero" to Lan Yueting.

But it was really embarrassing for her to explain herself by saying, "I didn't actually expect you to save me."

Because in that case, it seems a little intentional...

Su Yan, Xiang Lingying and others standing next to her also had slightly embarrassed looks on their faces.

It's not that they don't want to find Lan Yueting, but they really can't do it.

After a few people arrived at the bamboo house, because they had been running on the road carrying things and heavy loads, they suddenly relaxed and relaxed, and their physical strength was almost exhausted.

Even Anya, who had the strongest physical strength, had no strength at that time to go back to find people.

Listening to Zhang Liu's explanation at this moment, the eyes of several girls were full of goodwill.

They know that this is the other party taking the blame.

The corners of Xiang Lingying's mouth raised slightly.

Feeling Zhang Liu's "high emotional intelligence behavior", she once again felt that her head maid had a really good vision.

And Xiang Wanying also had a bit of a smile on her lips.

As the head maid, she really likes Zhang Liu's high EQ approach.

As for Su Yan, Anya, and Gu Qingrou, they were also very grateful to Zhang Liu for maintaining a harmonious atmosphere in the team.

"Looking for someone, I can set off alone. After all, the route can be determined directly. But in the future, when encountering weather that may rain, you must not go out rashly again." Zhang Liu handed it over to both parties just in time. On the steps, he took a deep breath, and then smiled and brought up the topic caused by Lan Yueting's unintentional words: "The air after the rain is really fresh and refreshing."

Just like what Zhang Liu said.

More than three hours ago, an extremely terrifying thunderstorm came in a hurry at noon when we should have taken a break for dinner, swallowing up everything with the momentum of sweeping the heaven and earth.

Then it ended hurriedly three or four hours later, before dusk arrived.

Now that the weather is clear again, it's like everything that happened before didn't exist.

Except for some rain here and there, the soil became muddy and wet underfoot.

All other traces had been wiped clean, and there seemed to be no sign that it had just rained.

After looking at everything around him, Zhang Liu turned his eyes to the bamboo house whose eaves were still dripping with water.

All the bad things are over, and it’s a new day.

Such an idea suddenly appeared in his mind.

The other eight girls were also watching everything around them. Like Zhang Liu, they now felt as if they were reborn again.

"Look, there's a rainbow!"

Qin Ruoshuang, who was looking at the sky, pointed to the northeast sky and shouted in surprise.

Everyone immediately looked over.

After the rain, the sky cleared up and the sky was clear and blue. It seemed that nature wanted to reward these nine people for overcoming the difficulties.

A rainbow has appeared in the sky, like a colorful ribbon hanging in the blue sky.

"so beautiful……"

"It's a pity that I don't have a mobile phone to take pictures..."

"If we had a mobile phone, we could just call for help!"

The girls' chirping voices reached my ears.

The smile on Zhang Liu's face couldn't be stopped.

But the only thing that made him helpless was that the earth stove he made at the door had been soaked by the heavy rain, leaving only the bottom half of the soil.

It seems that if we want to make a stove in the future, we will need the red clay over there.

I don’t know if it’s okay to turn the stove over and set it up on the stove…

Such a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

After having decided to spend the night tonight and go up the mountain tomorrow.

After everyone watched the rainbow picture after the rain, they immediately started preparing for dinner.

Due to the arrival of the six people in the cave.

Therefore, the current manpower can be considered to be sufficient enough to not need it.

The only frustration is that there is a slight lack of water source.

No matter how heavy it rains outside, it does not mean that the rainwater will be collected automatically.

If Zhang Liu hadn't set out to find anyone, he might have had the intention to move the clay vat outside to store water.

But due to his departure, and the fact that the soaked girls in the bamboo house were busy taking off and drying their clothes, while Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang were busy helping, they also had no energy to think about other things.

After Zhang Liu came back with Lan Yueting, his attention was taken away by the different shapes of naked backs displayed by the five girls. He had no time to think about water accumulation.

Therefore, the only water source that everyone can use at this moment is a sheepskin bag of pool water that Zhang Liu brought back before, and it is not even filtered yet.

Currently, Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang are filtering with charcoal.

It is estimated that it will be less than four liters in the end.

This amount is really enough for dinner.

But thanks to the recent rain, the air is relatively humid, so people's demand for water is not too high at the moment.

"We will set off at noon tomorrow. In the morning we will take the supplies to the green pool and then go up the river. The distance is about the same." After thinking for a few seconds, Zhang Liu made a plan.

Water source is indispensable.

So before going up the mountain, you should at least prepare enough water for one day.

Five bottles and a sheepskin bag of water are just enough for nine people to use for a whole day. Once you reach the top of the mountain, you don’t need to worry about water sources.

As for the path up the mountain, it is indeed more convenient to go up the natural trail through the bamboo forest.

But if you want to circle back to the east side of the hill from the green pool, the time will be almost consumed.

After all, the natural trail created by the bamboo forest ends at the top of the mountainside.

Further up, it is also an area with overgrown trees.

Before the road was opened, the efficiency of walking up from the top of the mountainside in the east should be about the same as walking up from the top of Shining Mountain in the south.

"Okay!" All eight girls nodded slightly, although there was no "difference between upper and lower classes" among them.

But they still maintained a unanimous attitude of obedience to Zhang Liu's words.

Section 267 # Volume [-] A stable food source is the first step in development: Chapter [-] Maybe you don’t like girls who are too strong...

Then everyone also started their respective work assignments.

Xiang Wanying, Lan Yueting, and Su Yan were responsible for getting some firewood from the nearby woods.

Although the wood must be soaked after the heavy rain now, and it will definitely be smokey when burned, but as long as it is dried in the fire, it is still good wood.

Zhang Liu's additional requirement for the three of them is to find consumables that can easily start fires, such as old man's beard.

Because in his mind, if he goes up the mountain later.

Everything in the mountain must still be wet, and I would like to light a fire for the night.

Storing supplies in advance is also an indispensable step.

Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang were going to stew the dried bird meat with less meat and more bones.

After the soup has a umami flavor, add the rabbit legs, which have more meat but are relatively woody.

In this way, it can play a complementary role.

Gu Qingrou, Anya, and Xiang Lingying's job was to pack and sort out the supplies, and then prepare what they would take with them when they set off tomorrow.

After all, what everyone really planned was not to take a bath, but to go to the top of the mountain to pick taro.

Preparing sufficient storage containers in advance is an indispensable step.

You really can’t hold much taro with just your hands.

After assigning other people's work.

Zhang Liu also picked up his knife and prepared to go up the mountain to the bamboo forest.

Last time Anya and Su Yan chopped a bunch of bamboos on top, and he wanted to carry two more bamboos down before dark.

There are not enough bowls for eating at the moment.

After experiencing the joy of being able to eat and drink soup at the same time, Zhang Liu could never forget this taste again.

When he thought about it, a rice bowl made by splitting a pair of bamboos as thick as an arm could also be used.

Just when Zhang Liu was about to leave with the machete, Gu Qingrou, who was taking out all the rabbit legs, dried bird meat and dried fish in the house, stopped him.

Pointing to the dried meat that had been completely wet by the rain, she asked: "Zhang Liu, will they deteriorate after being soaked in rain like this?"

Xiang Lingying and Anya, who were helping Gu Qingrou, also had worried looks on their faces.

The three of them, who had been pampered since childhood, just knew that pickled products might go bad when exposed to water.

But they were completely unsure whether it would deteriorate when exposed to water or whether it would take a lot of water.

"Huh?" After hearing Gu Qingrou's words, Zhang Liu turned around and then walked to Gu Qingrou to take a look.

It is different from the mutton jerky that is brought back inside immediately after it rains.

The rabbit legs and bird meat had been carried outside through the heavy rain, so now they looked and felt wet.

"Let's put it next to the fire and try drying it first." Faced with the inquiries from the three girls, he didn't know how to deal with it.

Zhang Liu grew up in the city, and he was not good at preserving cured meat.

But soon, Zhang Liu also thought of a new solution.

"Well, Sister Wanying and Lan Yueting and Su Yan have already gone to the woods to collect firewood..."

Looking around at Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang who were lighting a fire and preparing dinner in the bamboo house, as well as Gu Qingrou and others who were sorting materials, he suggested.

"Otherwise, Anya, you stay here to help, and then Xiang Lingying and Gu Qingrou, you two accompany me up the mountain to get some bamboo."

In order to ensure that the dried meat will not rot, Zhang Liu plans to make a simple smoking rack and place the dried meat on the drying rack for secondary smoking.

Here is a drawing of the smoker rack (referenced to Green Hell)

In his opinion, the number of three-meter-long bamboos needed for a one-meter-high smoking rack should be about four.

Carrying two by myself and one by each of Xiang Lingying and Gu Qingrou is probably about the same.

"I'm going to carry the bamboo too." After hearing Zhang Liu's words to let her rest where she was, Anya immediately stamped her little feet in protest.

"Don't go up there during the special period!" Zhang Liu shook his head and said, "During the safety period, you sprained your foot while chasing rabbits last time, right?"

"Yeah, yeah! Who told you!" Anya immediately became anxious after hearing Zhang Liu's words.
