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

Even if there is no hypothermia, the soaked human body will be exposed to the heat from the sun, the scalding ground, and the rain that evaporates.

That kind of sudden heat that alternates between inside and outside is enough for a fragile human body to drink a bottle of it.

After all, this kind of heat is not as gentle and comfortable as the heat in the sauna room in the aristocratic girls' school.

There is a high probability that you will develop some strange diseases.

Zhang Liu unscrewed the bottle of Nongfu Spring and took several sips of the liquid inside.

Most of the original bottle of water was suddenly reduced to a shallow bottom.

The water that has been heated by the sun is not cool at the entrance.

But after swallowing the salty fresh water with the slightest hint of plant ash, his whole body was lifted up.

Then apply the grated coconut that Anya helped pound in the morning on your face, neck, and arms. Although it is already a little rancid, it may be an extremely useful simple sunburn protection coating.

Gritting his teeth, Zhang Liu ran directly outside the jungle and began to walk faster.

It's close to the beach. Although it will be hot, there are not many weeds in front of it, so there is no need to do anything to "alert the enemy".

Able to have a smooth journey.

At the same time, Qin Ruoshuang and Anya discovered that the sun was gradually covered by clouds in the sky.

"Great! The sun is gone!" Anya, who was chewing the shreds of meat on the sheep's spine, shouted happily, and then said to Qin Ruoshuang beside her: "Let's continue working after eating."

"Well..." Looking at the changes in the sky outside, Qin Ruoshuang didn't know what was happening to her, and she felt very worried.

"Will it rain?" After thinking for a while, Qin Ruoshuang turned to Anya and said, "With this celestial phenomenon, I feel it might rain."

"Raining?" She repeated Qin Ruoshuang's words in confusion. Anya scratched her head and looked at the sky carefully and said, "Didn't Zhang Liu say that there will be a rainy season and a dry season here? Shouldn't it be the dry season now?"

"He didn't say it wouldn't rain during the dry season!" Qin Ruoshuang sighed slightly, and the sadness on his face became more intense: "Zhang Liu doesn't have any umbrellas with him."

"But it's too late for us to catch up now. Maybe he'll find a place to hide when he sees it's going to rain, maybe." Anya scratched her head, and then said, "There's no point in worrying about it now. .”

"What you said makes sense." Qin Ruoshuang nodded slightly and began to pick the meat from the cooled sheep spine in front of her.

Compared to Anya, her eating habits are obviously much more civilized.

But I also missed several bites.

There are seven pieces of sheep spine. After Anya gnawed off four pieces with a pale face, Qin Ruoshuang had just finished the second piece.

If she hadn't been too embarrassed to do anything, Anya, who was sucking the bone marrow, could even have chewed off the fifth sheep spine...

But he looked at Anya beside him, who was salivating over the bones in front of her but was too embarrassed to speak.

After Qin Ruoshuang pursed her lips slightly, she also started to pick up the leftover spine and started to chew it.

This kind of sheep bone marrow is a good thing rich in fat and cannot be wasted easily!

Seeing this scene, Anya sighed helplessly and started to use clam shells to scoop out the mutton soup in the "soup pot" and drink it.

After finishing a chewy lunch, Qin Ruoshuang and Anya began to work on their own.

Anya went to the grove to collect egg yolk fruits and Jiabao fruits that had matured in the past two days.

Qin Ruoshuang went to clean the holes.

At the same time, she also made new discoveries in the pit.

Because the fire inside was extinguished as early as yesterday.

So Qin Ruoshuang can go down directly to the pit to clean it now.

Zhang Liu's steps for roasting the leg of lamb were to first light a fire inside, then pile a lot of fist-sized stones on top of the flame. After the flames were completely isolated, he then put the leg of lamb in and covered it for roasting.

This also resulted in the wood under the rocks not being fully burned.

After trying hard to clean the stone, Qin Ruoshuang saw sections of black charcoal that retained the original shape of branches.

Her eyes suddenly solidified!

"Is this... log charcoal?" If it were something else, Qin Ruoshuang might not be able to identify it.

But her family has always been a traditional Chinese medicine family, and she once personally participated in a significant carbon-frying ceremony for medicinal materials.

So I am very familiar with the uses and types of charcoal in common situations.

Of course, this new knowledge that could be used to brush teeth was acquired by Qin Ruoshuang from Zhang Liu.

She held it in her hand and tapped it lightly, and the crisp sound of the two pieces of charcoal clinking confirmed her suspicion.

This is good stuff!

Can be used to quickly start a fire.

In order to save wood, although the bonfire in the cave has never been extinguished, it still burns brightest at night. During the day, a few particularly thick and fire-resistant logs are used as fire storage.

Every time they wanted to make a big fire, the three of them had to prepare a pile of finely chopped wood or dead branches and leaves as kindling materials.

With this log charcoal, most of the problem of secondary fire lighting will be solved.

Chapter 68 The difference between being well prepared and being poorly prepared.

Faced with such a treasure, Qin Ruoshuang didn't even bother to fix the bathtub.

She took out all the charcoal from the pit and carefully wrapped it in coconut leaves on the ground. She held these "treasures" tightly to her chest and walked into the cave.

At this moment, the air that was still extremely hot in the wilderness suddenly began to flow.

It was cooled by a breeze blowing from the sea.

Qin Ruoshuang, who was holding a large bag of charcoal, and Anya, who was holding a large bag of charcoal after picking Jiabao fruits and egg yolk fruits, felt the coolness and did not stop to savor it.

Instead, he involuntarily quickened his pace, which was obviously a sign that it was going to rain.

Although they were not aware of what would happen if they got caught in the rain like Zhang Liu.

But neither wanted to be exposed to the downpour that might come.

Zhang Liu, who was on his way, also felt the coolness.

He turned to look at the sea, and then at the thick clouds above his head. He simply hugged the sheepskin bag on his chest and started walking quickly on the beach.

His eyes would look towards the nearby woods from time to time.

Zhang Liu was already prepared to quickly find a suitable big tree to take shelter if it rained.

God bless……

Allah…

Amitabha……

I hope there won’t be a thunderstorm soon…

Zhang Liu, who had never believed in ghosts and gods, suddenly began to pray to every god he knew or didn't know.

The last time I prayed was on the day my mother was diagnosed with cancer.

At that time, Zhang Liu took away his two younger sisters and stayed alone with his mother, who could only prepare some medicine for "conservative treatment" at home because of poverty.

He was just like now, praying to every god who might be able to help him...

But unlike the last time when the prayer had no effect, this time the gods seemed to really respond.

The rain didn't even come down until Zhang Liu was so tired that he couldn't walk.

Looking at the darkening sky, he did not dare to walk in the dark again.

After all, there are poisonous snakes and insects on the ground at night, which are completely invisible.

From the edge of the jungle to the hinterland covered with all kinds of grass and leaves, Zhang Liu successfully picked up a lot of palm tree leaves, and then ran out of the hinterland of the jungle that was gradually getting dark again.

He was preparing to build his own overnight shelter on the beach for tonight.

It's nice to have the cool breeze blowing constantly, but who knows if a heavy rain warning will suddenly start coming.

Therefore, accommodation must be prepared in advance.

Zhang Liu's idea of ​​a shelter is very simple.

Use the grass roots and branches that can be seen everywhere and the two coconut trees in front of you that are as thick as your own waist to build a two-sided rain-proof platform that may be used.

Long grass roots come in handy at this point, they are very resilient and easy to get.

As long as you pull hard in the yellow sand, you can pull out at least three meters of grass roots.

As for the branches used as supports for large palm leaves, it is even more common.

In just a short while, he had collected all the materials and piled them on the ground.

First, there are two branches about two meters long and as thick as an arm.

It takes a lot of effort to deal with them, and you need to step on them and pull hard to remove the excess branches.

Their purpose is to be tied to the trunks of coconut trees and used as "beams" for shelters.

As for the beams, they are two coconut trees.

Zhang Liu was lucky, and all the coconuts on the two coconut trees fell to the ground.

He had collected them in advance and put them aside. There were six in total, all of them were dark brown and had obviously been dropped on the ground for a while.

In this way, he not only finds new food, but also avoids the unfortunate fate of a certain Hainan village bully who had his coconuts burst open.

In addition to the two thick branches, there are 34 finger-thick branches of different lengths.

Among them, ten short ones are about half a meter long, and 24 long ones are about one to two meters long.

Zhang Liu broke these off to serve as leaf supports.

This branch needs ten branches to be strong!

First, tie five half-meter-long branches vertically to two "beams" at a ninety-degree angle.

Then lay large green palm leaves directly on it, and then tie five half-meter-long branches.

In less than 10 minutes, the roof of the temporary shelter was completed.

Subconsciously, Zhang Liu turned his head and looked at the western sky. Now Zhang Liu couldn't see anything that could help him judge the time.

But the sky outside was already as dark as four or five o'clock in late autumn, and the sea farther away was so gray that it was difficult to see clearly.

The visibility is estimated to be less than 100 meters.

From this point alone, he already knew that he had no time to waste standing around anymore.

Arranging the remaining 24 branches crosswise, Zhang Liu began to build the imaginary windshield.

At this moment, near the cave, Anya and Qin Ruoshuang were also busy separately.

They happened to meet halfway before, and after briefly talking about each other's situation, the two came up with a new plan of action.

Under the current circumstances, it would be an idiotic act to go at least half a day away from the cave to collect fruits.

What if it rains...

Therefore, Qin Ruoshuang and Anya were ready to work nearby.

On the premise that it is likely to rain, it is unreasonable to stick your butt out and go to the puddle to get water. If it rains, why should you worry about the water source?

In terms of food, roasted dry mutton pieces and smoked lamb ribs have been placed at the entrance of the cave.

Not to mention the more than 60 coconuts piled nearby, the large piles of fruits Anya collected during the day, and the various shellfish kept in simple foam boxes.

But in terms of fire sources, the problem of starting a fire or keeping a fire has not been 100% solved.

Therefore, after their discussion, collecting firewood and protecting the dryness of the firewood became the most important projects at present.

Anya and Qin Ruoshuang respectively proposed to build a shelf on top of this large pile of wood to protect it from rain, and to store some of the dry and light parts in the cave first.

The two did what they said.

Qin Ruoshuang was responsible for moving the small logs into the cave, while Anya, who was relatively more mobile, ran a little further and started picking up various dry leaves under the coconut trees.

Usually the three of them also collect these leaves, but they are all used to make fire.

Now it is to resist the rain that may come.

..........................................

On the other side, similar to Zhang Liu's situation, Qin Ruoyan also had to stop walking because the visibility was getting worse and worse.
