The days when my female colleague and I survived in the wilderness

My method is actually a bit old-fashioned. In other words, it is also the principle of using bamboo and water pipes, but because there is no bamboo in our place, and there is no water pipe, these towering trees are the only ones that can be used. that's it.

Although the tree may rot if it is buried in the ground, it must be fine in a short time.

We can think of other ways in the future, but to use trees to pass water, the only thing we need to do is to hollow out the tree, and then lie on the ground, so that the water can be continuously transported to our camp along these trees to go.

In this way, we may need to use dozens of trees along the way.

Digging up a tree is actually not difficult, the hard part is hollowing out the tree.

And the scale must be maintained well, this is the most troublesome.

Wang Ping and Chen Jian looked at me and kept silent.

There is a male colleague who is usually timid, but now he looks at me bravely.

"Brother Sihai, I think your idea is too troublesome. We don't eat much in the camp now. Although drinking distilled water every day does not quench our thirst, this kind of life is considered stable. I know you are very anxious. We want to transport the water, but how much time will we waste to get the water away continuously, I think we can think of other ways to do this.”

Wang Ping usually listens to me, and whatever I say is what I say, but this time after Wang Ping heard what the male colleague said, he also nodded hesitantly, and then looked at me.

"Sihai, I also think that this matter is a bit too troublesome. If it doesn't work, can we build a pool with stones and transport the water there, wouldn't it work?"

Before I made a sound, Chen Jian shook his head and refuted Wang Ping's idea.

"That can't be done. You don't know that these trees are all thirsty. If we can't lock the water, once it falls into the soil, it will disappear quickly. And don't you see, this Although the spring has a constant flow, its water flow is very small, so the water has no way to reach our camp, and it has disappeared on these roads, and this idea does not work."

Wang Ping glared at Chen Jian: "Then this idea won't work, so tell me what good idea you have?"

Chen Jian looked at it, and I looked at the big guy again, scratching his hair and thinking for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"I do have a method, but this method and Brother Sihai's method, um, are of the same origin and have different origins."

"Do you remember that there is still a jade mine in our place. The jade is smooth, much better than these trees. We can put these jade together in this dug puddle In the hole, use some trees or leaves to surround it, so that water will flow through. Although the water flow may be less, it will add up. After all, we can’t drink much water in a day, and if these water flows can really If it flows continuously, then it doesn’t matter if it’s less.”

I thought about Chen Jian's idea, and I think it is feasible, at least it is more troublesome than the tree I just had to hollow out the heart of the tree.

First of all, we can now make some wooden carts, and then go to transport jade.

Then it will be faster. In this way, if you put jade in the pit and use jade to transport water, the surface of jade is smooth, and the speed of water flow will be faster. In this way, we will save the trouble of rotting trees.

I looked at Chen Jian and couldn't help showing admiration: "I didn't expect you kid to make progress recently, you can think of such an idea!"

When Chen Jian heard it, I agreed, and I was immediately elated.

"So, who hasn't grown a brain yet? Although this matter is a bit troublesome, it's better than we have to hollow out those trees. After all, the tree is so long, if we want to hollow out the middle Now, how many procedures do you need to continue? Anyway, this hot spring eye will not be lost here, so I think we should quickly dig out all the pits around the water, and then measure the distance to be more accurate. Then let's go to find jade, so I guess it will be faster, and it will be finished in about a week."

After listening to Chen Jian's words, Wang Ping thought about it, and then nodded: "That's good, if that's the case, we guys can save some time, after all, the dead sheep that Bai Wei brought back It won’t take long to eat them, they don’t seem to be alive, they can still be raised, and now they can only be pickled with salt when they are dead, but these sea salts are also troublesome to extract, I also think we should quickly solve the problem of water flow, and then Go out and find something to eat."

I nodded, Wang Ping's worry was very correct, so let's do this.

After we made up our minds, we went back to the camp and started working on the plank.

After Bai Wei and the others learned of our decision, they also started to help. Everyone got busy and the speed of riding the wooden cart was much faster. We made four carts in a whole day.

According to this speed, we can make eight cars tomorrow. In addition to our own people, there are also those gringos in our camp, plus about 20 or nearly [-] people, so things will become easier. a lot of.

The gringos are strong and tall, and they are most suitable for this kind of physical work.

However, if Wang Ping or Chen Jian and a few clever colleagues were left in the camp to protect these female colleagues, there would be no trouble.

We did what we said, and we didn't have much rest for two consecutive days. On the third day, the plank and other preparations were finally finished.

We followed the jade mines we discovered one by one. Fortunately, Chen Jianji remembered the road very well. He almost took us to the jade mine without detours.

The hole in this jade mine is not very big, so this time the mountain fire did not spread into it.

We held a torch and went into the entrance of the cave to look around, only to find that the area of ​​these fallen jades was too small, so if we wanted to use these jades, we needed to smash down other jades.

Our ax was stolen by that bastard Lin Xubo, so we can only use a machete. Fortunately, many of these jade stones have gaps.

But I know that once jade is heated and splashed with cold water, they will shatter.

This method is much more convenient than using a machete to attack us.

We immediately transported some water, and then built a bonfire in the cave, tested the jade with the fiery temperature, and then splashed it with water.

Sure enough, the speed became extremely fast. In less than three days, we had already polished all the jade stones we needed, and placed them neatly beside the hot spring eye.
