: Looking for Water Sources

On the other side, Liuyue, Yutong and Ailan, who were looking for water sources, walked towards the direction where they and others saw the waterfall. Now they are going to verify whether the river in the center of the forest is fresh water. Can you give them a trip? provide a steady source of water.

After walking for a while, everyone finally arrived at the destination. This is a small waterfall more than ten meters high located in the center of the deserted island. Below the waterfall is a small lake that was blown out by the current. The lake water is crystal clear, the water is as bright as a mirror, the sun is shining brightly in the sky, and the clouds are like flocks, shining like ordinary silver under the sunlight. White smoke rises from the surface of the lake, like a veil or thread, lingering past. Looking forward, the eyes are full of silvery water traces, Miaomiao blue waves, layers of water waves, the wind flies freely on the lake, and refreshing water vapor rises from the top of the waves and from the cracks in the stones. The lake is surrounded by some lush woods, the woods go straight into the water and the sky, casting reflections all the way, swaying in the water.

“Wow, what a clean lake.” Ailan ran towards the shore of the lake excitedly, knelt down and splashed the clear lake water on his face with a pair of water, the cold lake water was very cool. The palm of the hand flicked lightly on the surface of the lake, and then took a sip of the lake water. Then his eyes widened and he spat out again. spit out my own fragranceTongue said: “Bah, bah, why is this lake salty?”

“Is it salty?” Liu Yue squatted down suspiciously, dipped her fingers into some lake water and put it into her mouth, then frowned. The water is really salty, so it can’t be used as a water source. She and others have to find it again. Unexpectedly, the water source, which everyone had placed high hopes on, turned out to be very disappointing.

“We have to look for it again.” Seeing Liuyue’s frown, Yutong knew that there was no hope for this place, so she shook her head and said.

“Liuyue, Yutong, look at what that is?” Alan pointed to the other side of the lake and said.

Hearing Alan’s words, the two looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a row of trees growing side by side on the opposite side of the lake, and there were many huge fruits on the trees.

“It’s coconut trees! We have short-term drinking water!” Liuyue exclaimed, it really is another village, at least now with this row of coconut trees, everyone doesn’t have to look for water so urgently.

Liuyue led Ailan and Yutong quickly ran towards the other side of the lake. When I came to the bottom of these coconut trees, there were more than a dozen coconut trees in this row. The height was seven or eight meters, and the short one was about four or five meters. There are many coconuts that fall off naturally after maturity, and some of these fallen coconuts still have a slender shoot on the top.

Seeing these sprouted coconuts, Yutong ran over to pick them up one by one as if seeing a treasure.

Seeing Yutong’s movements, Alan asked suspiciously: “Yutong, why are you picking up these coconuts? We don’t want them when they sprout, anyway, there are still so many on the tree.”

“No, this is a good thing. According to the records, there is something called Yebao in this coconut. It is said to be delicious. Let’s pick some up and take it back. If we don’t find any food, it can be used as dinner for all of us, but It can’t be wasted.” Yutong said to Ailan holding the coconut.

Hearing Yutong’s words, Liuyue and Ailan also hurried over to pick up the coconuts on the ground. Because the coconuts are too big, each person can only hold three or four coconuts. There is no way, the three of them can only pile up the coconuts in one place first.

“Okay, let’s pick some coconuts from the tree. I don’t think there will be much moisture in these.” Liu Yue said, looking at the coconuts piled up in a small pile.

“Well, if you want coconut juice, you still have to ask for the tender coconuts on the tree.” Yutong nodded in agreement.

“Leave it to me, I’m good at climbing trees!” Alan raised his hand and shouted volunteering.

After speaking, Ailan hugged the coconut tree closest to her, and climbed up with both hands and feet, but she underestimated the difficulty of the coconut tree, and overestimated her own ability, and her body began to slip down when she was afraid of working hard , After trying several times in a row, the fight ended in failure, and Ailan looked at the two of them a little embarrassed.

“These trees are too slippery, too difficult to climb.” Alan smiled wryly at the two of them.

After seeing Alan’s failure, Yutong also stepped forward to try, but like Ailan, he finally climbed halfway and failed.

“It’s really scary. Without professional tools, it would be difficult for us to climb up to get coconuts.” Yutong said.

“Then what should we do? Let’s go back and find the instructor to cut down the tree with a knife?” Ailan asked suspiciously.

“No, I’ll take care of it.” Liu Yue said. After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards the woods. After about ten minutes, he saw Liu Yue walking out holding a long dead tree pole.

“Liuyue, do you want to poke the coconut off? Why didn’t I think of such a good idea.” Seeing the long tree pole in Liuyue’s hand, Alan said with a bright eye.

“Well, this way we don’t need to run back again.” Liu Yue nodded and said.

Liuyue came under the coconut tree that the two of them climbed before, held up the long pole in her hand, and stabbed vigorously at the coconut on the tree. The precise angle and the huge force allow Liuyue to accurately hit the stalk of the coconut every time, hitting one place several times in a row, and a huge coconut falls down. The coconut smashed into the sand like a falling stone.

“It’s amazing, Liuyue, hurry up, hit a few more!” Alan shouted excitedly looking at the coconuts on the coconut tree below.

“Don’t worry, take your time.” Liu Yue said, the trunk in her hand didn’t stop, she kept poking at the coconuts on the tree, and soon the coconuts were knocked down one by one.

After Liuyue had beaten enough, Alan ran towards the coconut that fell on the ground as if he had picked up a treasure.

“Liuyue, here is one that was broken.” Alan picked up a coconut the size of a human head from the ground, and pointed to the place where the juice kept oozing from the coconut.

“Well, it should have hit a rock when it fell, so let’s eat it.” Yutong nodded and said.

“That’s a good relationship. I haven’t eaten a coconut yet, but how can I open it without tools?” Alan said regretfully looking at the coconut dripping out of coconut juice.

“You said you want us to experience the lives of ordinary people. You really think of yourself as an ordinary person. Give it to me, and I will open it for you.” Liu Yue shook her head and said.

Reaching out to take the coconut in Alan’s hand, the five little fingers pierced into the coconut like ordinary hard sharp blades. When he pulled it hard, the fiber protective shell on the outer layer of the coconut was hardened by Liuyue.Sheng tore it down. After doing this several times, the protective layer covering the coconut has all disappeared, leaving only a hard inner shell. Liuyue poked her finger into the coconut shell with a small crack, and bent her finger to break off a small piece. Seeing that there was more than half of the coconut milk in it, he handed it to the greedy Alan.

Alan raised the coconut in his hand, poured the gap made by Liuyue into his small mouth, and after taking a few sips, he wiped the coconut juice around his mouth and sighed: “Well, it tastes good, with a faint fragrance , and a little sweet, it’s still very good as a drink, Yutong, come and try it too.”

“Then I won’t be polite.” Seeing that Alan was drinking so happily, Yutong couldn’t wait, took the coconut and drank it.

After the three of them drank the juice from the coconut, Liuyue smashed the hard shell of the coconut with a palm, and handed a few shells with white flesh to Ailan and Yutong and said: “This coconut is also a fruit. It’s pretty similar, try it.”

“Well, it’s really good. This coconut is as tender as jelly, and it’s also very fragrant.” Ailan praised.

While the three of them were happily drinking coconut juice and eating the fruit pulp, a black object fell from the tree, and hit Alan’s head directly under the tree with a “bang”.

“I’m going, who? Who attacked me?” Ailan cried out, clutching her little head. He turned his head and looked at the ground to see what was sneaking up on him. He was startled when he saw the dark, strange-looking thing on the ground, and jumped up from the ground to point at Liuyue and Yutong. He touched something on the ground and said, “Scorpion, what a big scorpion!”

“This is not a scorpion, it’s called a coconut crab, a kind of land hermit crab. Alan, you read the information on the earth and don’t even know this, it’s a fuss.” Yutong patted Alan’s back and was a little speechless Said.

“I have read it, but how can I remember so much, and I didn’t deliberately remember so much information. By the way, Yutong, can you remember all the information of the earth?” Alan said unconvinced.

“Yes.” Yutong nodded and said, as if this is a very rare and common thing.

“Uh…then you are an exception, I don’t believe anyone can do it, Liuyue, can you?” Alan asked Liuyue at the side.

“Yes, as long as it is the information I have read, I can remember it.” Liu Yuetou said lightly without looking back. He stared closely at the coconut crab on the ground, with a happy light in his eyes.

“…” Ailan felt that she was being ridiculed. You are also angels. Are you all so good? Can you live with yourself?

“Liuyue, what are you doing? Why are you grabbing such a disgusting thing?” Alan exclaimed, looking at Liuyue who was lifting the belly of the coconut crab’s tail.

“Of course I took it back for dinner. I was worried what would happen if Ruoning and the others couldn’t find food. I didn’t expect the food to be delivered to my door by myself. It’s only a dozen catties, and half of the food has been solved.” Liu Yue looked at the coconut crab that was shaking her long legs in her hands, and the editor-in-chief of Changtooth Dance held up a big stick and wanted to attack her with a smile.

“Isn’t it? Liuyue, you said we want…to eat this thing? This is too disgusting, I don’t want it, I would rather eat coconut.” Alan looked at the coconut crab in Liuyue’s hand in horror and said, She can’t say such a strange thing, thank you for not being sensitive.

“Don’t look at it as ugly, it still tastes good, you’ll know when you try it.” Liu Yue showed off while holding up the coconut crab in her hand.

“Farewell, I really can’t accept it. Let’s go back quickly with these coconuts. Going back early can also help the instructors and the others build a shelter.” Alan looked at Liuyue who was walking towards her with a coconut crab, and ran in a hurry Come, keep a safe distance from her.

“Liuyue, don’t scare her. Ailan has a natural fear of such strange things. It’s not like you don’t know. Okay, we’ve been out for a while, let’s go back quickly.” Yutong patted Liuyue shoulder said. Then they found a few long vines to tie the coconuts together, so that they could take all the coconuts back, otherwise, if the three of them carried them back, they wouldn’t be able to take much.

After Yutong finished, everyone left the lake and walked towards Qin Wuyou and the others.

And on Qin Wuyou’s side, everyone was already busily busy. Qin Wuyou took a machete to the tree and chopped it up. The big tree with a thick waist was cut in two by the powerful blade, and fell to the ground with a sound. The cut was as smooth as a mirror. The rest of the people were responsible for cleaning up the excess branches, repairing the trunk and moving it to the place they chose to build the house.

After cutting down all the trees needed, Qin Wuyou returned to the place where the house was going to be built, and let other people do the trimming and transporting of the wood, and build the house by himself.

Qin Wuyou found a few of the thickest tree trunks, held them upright with both hands, and pressed them against the ground. The whole trunk was directly inserted into the soil more than one meter deep, and stood firmly on the ground. After a few times, the main pillars for building the house are ready, and the rest will be built.

Suddenly Qin Wuyou thought that he and others were busy building the house, and the matter of the flames had not been resolved, what if there was no fire to cook for tonight?

I saw that I was walking over with a big tree on my shouldersQin Wuyou shouted, “Yan, come here.”

“What’s wrong with the instructor?” Yan put down the wood on his shoulders and walked towards Qin Wuyou, asking suspiciously.

“Yan, can you make a fire? Don’t use other modern methods.” Qin Wuyou asked.

“Yes, yes, you can make fire by drilling wood, but I haven’t tried it yet, so I don’t know if it will work.” Yan said with some uncertainty.

“It’s okay, I’ll leave the task of lighting the fire to you, don’t worry about these things, and help us to light the fire.” Qin Wuyou said.

“Okay, let me try.” Yan nodded and said, and then started to look for something to light the fire.

After Yan left, Qin Wuyou split the tree trunks into straight and flat planks, then patted them neatly into the soil as the walls of the house, and then fixed them with mortise and tenon techniques. The firmness of the house is even stronger than that made with nails. A piece of wood is connected to form a flat and solid wall, but because of the reason that it is ready-made, it is not as beautiful and delicate as the painted wall.

After the main structure of the house was built, Qin Wuyou moved the planks to the ground and fixed them with mortise and tenon techniques to serve as the floor of the house. This way, the water vapor on the ground could be isolated, and it could be used as a resting place. clean. After five or six hours of sincere cooperation, a small magical wooden house was built all over the place. This wooden house is only sixty to seventy square meters in size, and is divided into two rooms, one is a place for eating, chatting and playing, and the other is a place for sleeping and resting.

Although the house is small and simple, everyone feels unprecedented satisfaction. After all, this is a house built by everyone working together. I couldn’t wait to run to the house for various visits.
