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

So unless there was a heavy rainstorm like when Qin Ruoyan met before.

Otherwise, once the rain falls only in small amounts, it will directly block a large part of the rain.

Although at present, I still have plenty of fresh water, and I still have about four liters left in my sheepskin bag, which is enough for two days of drinking anyway.

But two days away...

Zhang Liu was very afraid that he would encounter the embarrassing situation of "it's raining in the sky, but the unlucky guy under the tree doesn't have much water to drink."

He shook his head as he walked on the road, but he couldn't get rid of the news. In the end, he had to stop and choose a place to spend the night to adjust his mentality.

Standing under a huge banyan tree, Zhang Liu quickly determined the place to camp tonight. Then he inserted an alloy tube into the ground at the edge of the tree crown as a mark, and finally put down the book basket.

Raising his head, Zhang Liu began to carefully examine the banyan tree in front of him.

The reason why he knew it was a banyan tree was because it was the same as the one mentioned in the Chinese textbook.

"The banyan tree has long beards hanging down forever, like an old man standing quietly, seeming to be whispering lengthyly in this rainy sky, thus burying thousands of years of the past in fantasy. 》

The temperament of the tree in front of me really fits Monk Zhang Liu's fantasy about the banyan tree after reading the textbook.

Among the knowledge introduced in the textbook, the aerial roots hanging from the trunk of the banyan tree will turn into tree trunks when they touch the ground.

And among them, the mother tree and its daughter trees spread endlessly, which is a magical tree species that can form a forest by itself.

Before he was in danger, he could only imagine through words.

So Zhang Liu would feel that the book about a banyan tree and a forest is a bit nonsense. How can it be so powerful? A tree directly becomes a forest...

But after seeing it with his own eyes, he could only sigh that he was really a clown in front of nature...

The banyan tree in front of us is at least ten meters high.

The canopy above the head is like a big green umbrella, covering an estimated area of ​​nearly 30 square meters.

These two data were roughly calculated by Zhang Liu based on the two-meter-long alloy pipe.

After sighing at the greatness of nature.

He also started cleaning the place he would use to sleep tonight.

Pulling out the fire hammer from his waist, Zhang Liu grabbed the hem of the aerial root of the banyan tree with one hand, and started chopping down hard with the other hand.

These things are quite flexible, he thought as he held the air root as thick as a finger firmly.

PS·This is Zhang Liu’s exploration journey on the second day. The yellow represents the camping point for each day, and one grid represents one kilometer.


Chapter 8 When something warm goes into your stomach, you will feel very comfortable.

Although the fire hammer in Zhang Liu's hand only has a chopping blade of about three centimeters on one side, it is still no problem to use it to deal with the outermost aerial roots of the banyan tree, which are only as thick as a little finger.

After all, no matter how hard it pulls, it is still something that can be chosen to fly on this luxury private jet.

Without taking the price into consideration, this fire hammer may not be the best in the world, but it is certainly unparalleled in terms of quality.

Anyway, it’s used until now.

Those alloy chip sharpeners need to be sharpened again, but the fire hammer becomes more comfortable the more you use it.

After cutting off the upper half of the aerial root, he directly twisted the aerial root branch, which was more than two meters long. The outermost aerial root was probably just planted in the past few days during the rainy season.

So he pulled it out of the soil with just a little force, and the whole process was extremely simple.

It didn't take long for Zhang Liu to find a place for himself to set up camp, and he also collected a lot of firewood that could be used to make a fire.

After using an alloy knife to completely clean up the fallen leaves at the fire point on the ground, he first used the felled aerial roots of the banyan tree to build a simple heat-reflecting surface for himself, and then started to light a fire.

"Da da da da da da..." With the tapping of the flint in his hand, a fire was quickly lit by Zhang Liu.

At this moment, the sky has begun to gradually darken, and the visual range has been reduced to a dangerous level of only a dozen meters even with the help of firelight.

Zhang Liu was not in a hurry to boil water or eat. At this moment, Zhang Liu was looking at the small alloy pot in front of him.

It’s not a problem to always use the rolling stone method to boil water.

On the one hand, low efficiency was on the one hand, but on the other hand, he also considered that if he couldn't find the stone one day, he would be in trouble.

So Zhang Liu is currently thinking about whether he can use the soft branches of the banyan tree to weave a "pot circle" for the small alloy pot.

In this way, he could use the branches and wood that could be found everywhere to build a tripod, and let the alloy pot hang on the fire and burn it directly.

For Zhang Liu, who was in the jungle, the most indispensable thing was time. After having this idea, he easily selected the appropriate soft paper strips from a large number of banyan tree aerial roots.

After first breaking it in half with a knife, Zhang Liu began to quickly weave a circular pot ring according to the size of the edge of the alloy pot.

The next step is to use the fresh bark removed from the aerial roots of the banyan tree to make four ropes and place them four times on the pot ring so that it can be tied up.

The next work will be more laborious and troublesome.

Because you need to find three branches with a length of more than two meters to support the triangular pot stand.

In order to ensure that it will not fall apart or tilt, the branches must first be about the same thickness. In fact, they must have basic durability.

Under the premise that there was a large area of ​​air roots of different thicknesses around him, Zhang Liu quickly completed the job with a fire hammer.

PS·Here are the design drawings of the pot rack. The author used it when he was a child. It is very easy to use!


Pour some of the fresh water in the sheepskin bag into the alloy pot.

After confirming that the flames would not burn the round banyan tree pot ring, he couldn't help but smile happily as he looked at the fire that was jumping and licking the bottom of the alloy pot.

Only you know your own mentality.

After two consecutive days of trekking, Zhang Liu already felt like he was having decadent thoughts. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been unable to walk or even afraid in the afternoon today.

In order to cheer up his mood, he planned to start with small things to find some fun for himself.

And now building a pot circle is the fun Zhang Liu has found for himself.

And it is very practical. The pot ring and the rope above it can be brought to the rest point tomorrow for use.

As for the supporting sticks, he said he had no worries at all.

After the fresh water in the alloy pot gradually boiled, Zhang Liu chopped up the uneaten palm core and put it together with a piece of "honey meat floss" to stew in it.

After a while, the broth, which was enough to fill a small half-alloy pot, was ready.

When the two are added together, the finished product looks like curry without the curry smell.

It can be said that the appearance and smell are not very good.

But in Zhang Liu's mind, the taste of this thing should be very good.

The high-sugar and high-salt honey meat floss cake can provide salty, sweet and unique aroma of meat floss and taro powder, while the palm core can add an excellent satiety to this soup that should be relatively thin.

Unhook the alloy pot from the fire and take the pot ring out from underneath.

The next thing he should do is wait for it to cool down before eating it in his stomach.

However, Zhang Liu did not allow himself to take any time off during the waiting period.

He began collecting bark from the aerial roots of a nearby banyan tree.

Zhang Liu was going to weave the rope and store it in the third compartment of the book basket, which had quite a lot of space.

In the process of making pot holders, he already knew the importance of rope.

Now that he is free, Zhang Liu can naturally accumulate some resources.

At the same time, in the bamboo house at the foot of the mountain to the east, Xiang Wanying, Lan Yueting, and Anya were already sitting in front of the earthen stove, waiting for the boiled taro in the small clay pot to be cooked.

The whole afternoon today, after lunch, they were fighting against the mud in the goat jungle, which was muddy on the surface but extremely tough on the inside.

Several people underestimated the difficulty of digging a hole.

You must know that when Zhang Liu and Xiang Lingying dug the hole, they poured the water from the green pool directly into it to soften the soil, and then it took them most of a day to finish it.

Xiang Wanying and others did not have enough water resources to afford such a luxury, so they could only rely on the simple method of "powerful bricks fly".

But at least there are three people, so the labor force is relatively sufficient.

Before it got dark enough to return to the shelter, they successfully completed a square pit about one meter deep and two meters long and wide.

"Tomorrow, I feel we need to act separately." Xiang Wanying pointed at the area near the cave with her finger, and then said: "Lan Yueting, you and Anya go to the cave together to confirm the rabbit breeding situation. I remember Qin Ruoshuang said It’s not too much water to go through that tank.”

After arranging the work of her partners, she also talked about her own work arrangements: "As for me, I am going to go to the bamboo forest on the mountain to get some branches, and then prepare the trap, so that I can wait for you tomorrow night or the day after tomorrow. When I came back in the morning, I could basically determine whether the trapping was successful.”

"Okay!" Nodding, Anya and Lan Yueting both showed expressions of approval.

As the taro pieces were stewed in a small clay pot until they were completely cooked, and after adding salt, they also started to enjoy their dinner.

Although this kind of stewed taro is not delicious, it can satisfy your hunger quickly.

And after drinking the hot and salty soup into my stomach.

Regardless of whether it tastes meaty or not, it can always have a refreshing effect.

At this moment, Xiang Wanying and others had a look of comfort on their faces after drinking the hot taro soup.

Chapter 9 It will be very comfortable when your feet are wrapped in something warm.

Xiang Wanying and others were feeling comfortable from the hot soup.

The five girls on the mountainside, namely Qin Ruoyan, Qin Ruoshuang, Su Yan, Xiang Lingying, and Gu Qingrou, are enjoying a foot bath in hot water.

After a whole day, the earthen pottery in the center of the fire has been fired.

The soil embryo, which was originally black and soft, is now white-gray and makes a "ding-dong" sound when struck.

The firing was very successful this time, and there was no leakage in the two footbaths and the pig trough.

The current distribution is as follows:

Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang share a footbath.

Gu Qingrou and Xiang Lingying also shared a footbath.

As for Su Yan, it was because she lost in rock-paper-scissors.

At present, she can only use the relatively long pig trough as a footbath.

Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai who were in the pig pen didn't even have a bowl to eat, and were currently popping taro leaf stems with dirt into their mouths.

Since being coaxed into eggs, their appetites have greatly increased, but what makes the two little pigs a little regretful is that they only ate the flavorful soup three times, and then they stopped eating...

A whole alloy pot of boiling water was poured into the footbath and pig trough by everyone, and then cold water was added to cool it according to their own preferences.

After testing the temperature with her hands, Qin Ruoyan and her sister looked at each other. After confirming that the other party was okay with the temperature, she said, "I can do it here!"

"Me too!" Xiang Lingying, Gu Qingrou, and Su Yan nodded equally.

"Then... let's get started?" Qin Ruoshuang's tone began to sound full of anticipation.

Due to some strange persistence, the girls wanted to start soaking their feet at the same time.

Invisibly, they already have a sense of "sharing the blessings together".

When you take off your shoes and socks, put your clean feet into hot water.

Every girl narrowed her eyes, then opened her lips slightly and gasped: "It feels so comfortable!"

The hot warm water completely wrapped the soles of the feet, and it seemed that all the pores were breathing due to this long-lost soaking and moisturizing.

Originally, Su Yan was a little unhappy because she could only use the pig trough.

But now she has already begun to secretly enjoy herself.

Because compared to other girls, when four feet are put in, there will be collisions.

I can enjoy such a long footbath alone!

The pig trough is awesome!

The white-haired girl secretly rejoiced in her heart, and prepared to admit defeat in the rock-paper-scissors game tomorrow.

"After your feet are warm, you can start massaging the soles of your feet. You will watch my actions later." Qin Ruoyan was the first to recover from the extremely comfortable and addictive hot water foot bath.

Then she also started teaching others how to perform foot massage to relax...

After some self-foot massage, the five girls were left moaning in comfort.
