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

Once there is a slope, the rainwater outside will seep directly down, and it won't matter how much firewood you put in. The fire will definitely go out over time!

So what Zhang Liu is going to use now is the rolling stone method that he hasn't used for a long time.

If you want to find stones in the jungle, it is very simple. Put three stones burned to red into an alloy pot, accompanied by a "chichichi" sound.

After a while, a pot of boiling water was ready.

Without being in a hurry to drink or use it, he first took out the three stones and put them into the fire to heat them again.

Then Zhang Liu waited silently beside him until the water temperature gradually turned warm. He took out the three bottles in his schoolbag and began to clean and fill the water.

After such operations, only two-thirds of the water in the alloy pot was left.

After ensuring drinking water today.

Zhang Liu placed the three stones from the fire into the alloy pot, and with a hissing sound, the second boil started.

But this time, he also put a piece of "meat floss cake" in the pot of water.

Accompanied by the rich aroma, about ten minutes later, a pot of "broth" was announced to be finished.

Drink the hot broth, then use the water in the sheepskin bag to clean the alloy pot.

After packing everything up, Zhang Liu picked up the book basket and hit the road again.

But this time, the weight in the backpack behind him increased by about ten kilograms, because the sheepskin bag was filled with fresh water.

Chapter 6 A man’s hamster personality is a good thing (monthly ticket reward will add Chapter 35)

But after Zhang Liu walked for a while, the rain that was falling on him suddenly stopped.

Moreover, the entire sky was obviously brightened, which in turn increased the visual range in the jungle.

But this did not bring much convenience to Zhang Liu.

For safety reasons, he still insisted on slapping the grass in front of him with an alloy pipe and making a sound to remind any snakes and bugs that might be inside to leave quickly.

It's okay, but don't have the embarrassing situation of a snake biting a person and a person dying after eating the snake.

At the same time, Bamboo House No. [-] on the mountainside has been completely completed.

Currently eight girls are working in groups.

Su Yan is responsible for feeding the pigs and cleaning up the excrement.

As for Anya, Lan Yueting and Xiang Wanying, they went down the mountain in the rain to get some meat.

After Gu Qingrou waited for it to stop raining, she chose to go to the bamboo forest to look for any delicious bamboo fungus.

Qin Ruoyan, Qin Ruoshuang, and Xiang Lingying were currently carrying wood to the No. [-] bamboo house that was going to be used as a firewood shed.

"Great, with this word, we can put the dried firewood here!" As Qin Ruoyan spoke, she and Qin Ruoshuang carried a piece of wood weighing more than ten kilograms into the house.

This was the trophy that the two of them went to pick bamboo fungus in the bamboo forest yesterday morning when it was not raining. However, they didn't see the fungus. They saw this, so they picked it up as a trophy.

Because of the humidity at that time, the weight was much heavier than it is now. The two of them almost died of exhaustion after carrying it to the mountainside...

"Yes!" Nodding vigorously, Qin Ruoshuang cooperated with her sister to place the thick piece of wood in the corner of the bamboo house. Then, while twisting her waist to relax her strength, Qin Ruoshuang suggested: "Sister, why don't we burn charcoal?"

"Burning charcoal?" Hearing her sister's words, Qin Ruoyan subconsciously asked, "Why?"

"Because there is no smoke when burning charcoal! I'm choking to death these days!" Qin Ruoshuang said with a bitter look on her face: "Even if the wet wood is dried, there will still be a lot of smoke!"

After hearing her sister's words, Qin Ruoyan nodded slightly.

Her tolerance level is relatively high, so she doesn't pay much attention to the smoke.

But now my sister is speaking like this.

As a sister, Qin Ruoyan felt that she had to do something for her.

But for now, she would go out of Bamboo House No. [-] first, and then continue to carry the drying wood that is being produced.

At this moment, about five meters away from Bamboo House No. [-], a huge fire is burning. It is surrounded by a large pile of damp wood that is "sizzling" and smoking.

The reason why there is a big fire here is because there is a pig trough and two footbaths inside.

The main purpose of this huge bonfire was to burn pottery.

As for baking wood, it only has incidental value.

Just as Qin Ruoyan was carrying wood and thinking about how to burn charcoal on a large scale.

A white-haired girl humming a tune passed by.

It was Su Yan who came back from feeding the pigs.

She was in a good mood after holding her breath and using a stone shovel to clean up the excrement of Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai into the compost pond next to her.

Even now I can hum some rhythm.

Because of this bad luck, although the job I picked in the lottery was relatively dirty, the reward was that I could stay in a relatively relaxed state for the rest of the day.

Su Yan planned to go up the mountain to take a bath later, and then bring some taro down.

"Yanyan, are you free now?" She called out to the white-haired girl who was passing by humming a tune. Qin Ruoyan said, "I want to go to the taro field with you and Ruoshuang to burn some charcoal."

"Burning? Charcoal?" Su Yan blinked in confusion, and her mind was filled with bathing. She didn't understand the meaning of the other party's words for a while.

"Yeah!" Qin Ruoyan nodded vigorously and said, "Damp wood can easily produce smoke, so I plan to burn a batch of charcoal while it's not raining!"

"Ah! Charcoal...how...how to burn it?" Although Su Yan understood somewhat, her tone was still confused.

Then she was pulled into Bamboo House No. [-] by Qin Ruoyan and began to discuss the plan in detail.

Seeing their actions, Qin Ruoshuang and Xiang Lingying also walked in. Soon, Gu Qingrou, who had returned from picking bamboo shoots, also joined the discussion...

Because among the group of people, only Qin Ruoyan really ignored the smoke of burning wet wood, and the other girls already felt deeply disgusted.

Sitting around a curtain cloth, they continued to perfect the "dig and fire method" proposed by Qin Ruoyan according to their own ideas...

Just as the people on the mountainside were preparing to burn charcoal.

Anya, Xiang Wanying, and Lan Yueting had already gone down the mountain to the vicinity of the original bamboo house. After completing the construction of the No. [-] bamboo house early in the morning, they went down the mountain in the rain wearing double curtains.

Anya and Xiang Wanying squeezed together.

Lan Yueting can use one piece alone because her breasts are relatively large.

This has also led to the fact that there is currently only one piece of curtain cloth left in Bamboo House No. [-] for everyone to use.

Before going down the mountain, Xiang Wanying learned from her eldest daughter the entire process of how Zhang Liu used a trap to kill sheep.

So when she walked down, she already had the overall plan in mind.

Standing near the bamboo house, Xiang Wanying looked at the waterlogged grassland in front of her and said, "It's definitely not possible to set traps in wet places here. I heard the goat farmer in the manor say before that goats like dryness. It doesn’t like humid places, and salt will melt quickly.”

"Yes!" Hearing Xiang Wanying's words, Lan Yueting nodded silently, and then she said: "Then we will proceed according to the original plan. We will collect firewood here first to ensure that it is safe to spend the night, and then we will go digging in the goat jungle. trap?"

If you want to catch sheep with a trap, it is a patient job.

Therefore, Xiang Wanying and others also made a complete three-day plan in advance and brought enough taro for three days as a food reserve.

The planning is very simple:

We went down the mountain this morning. In the morning we tidied up the bamboo house we first built, collected firewood and started a fire. In the afternoon we started digging traps.

I will be responsible for waiting tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

If they failed to catch the sheep, the three of them would go up the mountain to collect taro, along with taro stems and taro leaves, two foods used to feed the pigs.

After all, the taro on the mountainside should be almost eaten by then.

Hearing Lan Yueting's inquiry at this moment, Xiang Wanying also confirmed: "Just follow this plan. Leave the work of tidying up the bamboo house and lighting the fire to me. Please go find some firewood nearby."

Nodding, Anya and Lan Yueting each found a direction and started collecting wood. They both held half-meter-long machetes in their hands as a precaution.

After watching the two people leave, Xiang Wanying also walked into the bamboo house and began to carefully assess the situation.

Thanks to Zhang Liu's natural "hamster storing food" character.

So even though it hasn't been used for a long time, there is still a lot of wood.

And because there is no direct rain, after removing the outer layer of damp wood, the inside is relatively dry, which fully meets the requirements for making a fire.

Chapter 7 It’s too long, so it takes two girls to hold it up

Move the damp wood covering the outside away, then Xiang Wanying pinches a piece of dry wood and holds it up in front of her to confirm its dryness.

After looking at it intently, she had determined that this thing could be used directly to make a fire.

Then Xiang Wanying suddenly had an image of a boy stacking wood with a serious look on his face.

He is such a careful boy... Fortunately, he didn't miss it.

It's a pity that we won't be able to see each other for a short time, and we can't be sure of the other party's safety...

Thinking that the boy she loved was taking risks, a certain head maid suddenly began to feel depressed.

I know it's not good for me.

So after Xiang Wanying took a deep breath, she tried her best to suppress the lovesickness in her heart, and then she took out flint and tinder for making fires from the lining pocket of her maid skirt.

This is because of the completely waterproof function of the maid skirt, which is why Xiang Wanying dares to carry it like this.

If it were Anya or Lan Yueting, the fire and pyrite would have been soaked long ago.

"Da da da da da da..." Along with the tapping sound of pyrite in Xiang Wanying's hand, she successfully made the warm fire that had been extinguished for a long time appear again in the earth stove of this first bamboo house.

After putting in dry wood and placing the wet wood next to the earthen stove to dry, Xiang Wanying could clearly feel that after starting life, both the dryness and warmth inside the entire bamboo house had improved to a higher level.

At the same time, Zhang Liu had arrived at the last trace he had left, which was the triangular shelter about 200 meters away from Xiang Wanying and Xiang Lingying.

When he followed the mark and walked here accurately, he still felt a little sad. After all, this was the farthest mark he had left in the jungle. The road ahead was unknown.

But now Zhang Liu had no time to sigh or be sad. He took out a palm core from the book basket behind him and put it in his mouth to chew.

He stopped and took a few last glances before decisively passing by.

Zhang Liu's goal is in front, not here.

He planned to collect unrotten fruits around the open space in front of him, and then continue on his way without stopping.

But what disappointed Zhang Liu was that when he arrived at the open space where the master and servant of the Xiang family were, he found that all the fruits on the fruit trees here had fallen to the ground.

Walking to the snake fruit tree covered with sharp thorns, Zhang Liu bent down and picked up a snake fruit on the ground.

Before he even had time to peel it open, he had already determined that it had deteriorated inside.

After all, where can snake skin fruits be soft to the touch?

Zhang Liu casually threw away the snake skin fruit in his hand, and didn't bother to look at the egg yolk fruit that was obviously turning brown on the ground about six meters away.

He slightly adjusted the shoulder strap of the book basket behind him and continued walking into the jungle ahead.

This failed experience of finding fruit also taught Zhang Liu a lesson, that is, don't trust fruits that fall on the ground on rainy days.

At the same time, the four of Zhou Fang, who were located on the northern coast of the desert island, also started their own division of labor arrangements.

Zhou Fang and Gu Xixi set out to collect fruits in the nearby woods, while Song Shuyao and Zhao Yiran started drilling wood to make fire for an unknown number of times.

Zhao Yiran used her palm to press a finger-thick palm branch that she had covered dry with her body, thereby applying pressure to increase the contact surface.

As for Song Shuyao, she spread her palms flat against the palm branches and started rubbing them wildly...

"Creak... creak..." Accompanied by the sound that changes due to the change of speed, many black ash fragments have clearly appeared on the edge of the palm trunk...

The time soon came to the afternoon.

The weather today was pretty good. It stopped raining after we set off in the morning.

Therefore, Zhang Liu felt that he had advanced a considerable distance in the jungle.

Now when he looked up at the sky again, he could no longer see the vast gray sky like he did on the road ahead.

The layer of leaves that has gradually become denser begins to replace the role of the sky.

No matter how hard he looked and observed carefully, Zhang Liu could only vaguely see some gray "sky fragments" and "cloud spots" through the gaps.

He sighed slightly in his heart, and he began to feel secretly afraid.

This situation is not good news for myself.

Because of such dense branches, it is actually called the canopy.
