Carry an aquarium with you

Chapter 205

Aldridge said that there is a water source on the island, but Qin Feng suspected that he was being fooled. He searched the island for three hours, but he couldn't find even a drop, but he came across a few immature wild pineapples.

Qin Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was very hot in the bushes, coupled with the fact that he hadn't had water and sweated for a long time, he already felt very thirsty.

This feeling is absolutely uncomfortable, even if he encounters a very dirty small pool now, he probably can't help but drink it directly.

"Forget it, why don't you start a fire and distill it directly with sea water!" Qin Feng has a good physique, and the time on the island is not too long, so he is quite energetic.

But it’s hard to say what the next few people will encounter. Hunger, poor sleep, lack of water, etc. will affect people’s physical condition, so he decided to go back first and save his physical strength before talking.

Going back along the original road, Qin Feng returned to the beach after only talking for an hour.

At this time, Aldridge and Sigel have collected a lot of materials, but they have not started to build the shelter yet.

I don't know if their requirements are too high. In three hours, they collected a lot of materials, which should be to build a big wooden house.

Seeing Qin Feng coming back, Aldrich stopped what he was doing, and Sickert raised his head and asked, "Qin, have you found the water source?"

Qin Feng held the bottle and spread his hands: "Sigel, I suspect that you have been fooled. I searched for three hours and didn't even find a small puddle."

"Maybe we are unlucky, and the water source is on the other side of this island?"

Sigel shook his head when he heard the words: "No, no, there is indeed water here, we found it, but it is difficult to collect."

"How to say?" Qin Feng wondered.

What does it mean that the water source is found but it is difficult to collect it?
"You come with us." Sickert put down what he was doing, and then led him to the place where the water source was found.

Qin Feng followed them for a short while, probably at a distance of more than 100 meters, and saw a smooth stone wall.

The stone wall was very wet, and when he got closer, he could see the water flowing down the stone wall until it dipped into the beach.

Sickert pointed to the rock wall and said, "We need someone here to collect the water from the rock wall into a bottle."

"Leave it to me!" As long as you find the water source, it will be easy, and Qin Feng took over this simple job.

"OK, then let's continue building the shelter." Aldrich and Sickert went back to work.

Qin Feng looked around and found some plant stems.

It's spring, the plants are vigorous, and he wants to use the stems to direct the water.

Try to pick one off, and then tear off the thin layer of skin on the outside of the stem, and stick it to the rock wall. This layer of skin is immediately soaked by the water on the rock wall, and then sticks to it.

Seeing that this method was useful, he put the bottle below and fixed it, and stretched the lower end of the stem bark into the mouth of the bottle, so that the water would flow into the bottle along the stem bark.

This is just adding a guide line to the water, and Aldridge and Sickert will naturally do the same.

They used leaves to collect some before, but found that people need to hold the leaves all the time, otherwise the leaves will go astray.

They also tried to use the net rope they picked up, but unfortunately the rock wall here is too flat and there is no place to fix the rope, so they simply went back to work first, planning to wait for Qin Feng to return.

However, the stem bark is very light and can be absorbed by water. They really didn't expect it.

The three big bottles were set up. Seeing the water slowly dripping into the bottles, Qin Feng nodded in satisfaction.

In this way, he doesn't need to watch here all the time, and can go to do other work.

But before leaving, he drank the little water he had just collected in the three bottles, not much, just one sip from each bottle.

Although the water in the field has to be boiled to be safe to drink, he can't control it so much now, the main reason is that he didn't drink water when he came out in the morning, and he sweated a lot after looking for a water source for another three hours. Too thirsty.

After getting comfortable, he returned to the campsite, saw that Aldrich and Sigel had started to build the shelter, and asked, "Do you need my help?"

Sickert raised his head and wondered when he saw him: "Qin, aren't you going to collect water?"

"I used a method to automatically collect water sources. After we are busy with things here, just go and bring the water back."

"Good, you are such a smart young man." Sickert praised.

Immediately, he thought about it again, and said, "Aldrich and I will build the shelter. Now we still need food and fire."

"We rely on the sea. For food, we can find some conch or crab first, and the rest is the most important fire."

"Understood!" Qin Feng nodded, it seems that his next task is to start a fire.

Fire can be used not only for cooking and boiling water, but also for heating and providing a certain sense of security.

Instead of using Aldridge and Sickert to build the shelter, he found some bamboo poles and dry wood washed ashore by the sea.

These can be used as firewood, but he has not found anything to start the fire.

In fact, using a dagger to cut a little bamboo velvet from a bamboo pole can also be used, but he is not sure whether it can be used to start a fire. It would be better if he could find a better fire starter.

What Qin Feng thought of was bird nests, dry grass and dried coconut shells that fell on the ground.

But because of the season, it was really hard to find dead grass. He didn't find the bird's nest when he was looking for water sources just now, let alone now.

As for coconuts, there shouldn't be any on this island, and he didn't see them.

After searching for a while, Qin Feng gave up and planned to go back and use bamboo chips.

When he came back, he walked along the beach. He wanted to see if there was anything he needed in the garbage dump.

Then, he found two big bubbles, and there was a layer of green net rope outside the bubbles.

This can be taken back as a buoy for their homemade crab cage, it can add buoyancy to the homemade bamboo raft, and it can also be used as a stool.

Back at the camp, it was already noon, when the sun was shining brightly.

Everyone was hungry, but it's normal to be hungry for survival, so they just went about their work and didn't intend to look for food.

Qin Feng picked up the bamboo pole and scraped out a small ball of bamboo velvet with a dagger, and then he put the bamboo velvet in the sun to dry the bamboo velvet even more.

Then, he went to help Aldridge and Sickert build a shelter.

Don't look at them getting a lot of materials, but after using them, they found that the tree trunks were not enough at all, so they could only build a simple log cabin.

Cover the roof with some leaves, such as banana leaves.As for the bamboo poles, they were cut into two halves and tied up with discarded fishing nets to form a large bed that could sleep three people.

The surroundings of the house are very open, without any shelter.This is because there are insufficient materials, so we can only live in it first, and continue to improve the shelter when we have time in the next few days.

When the time came to three o'clock in the afternoon, the shelter was built, and the rest was to make the bed. Qin Feng handed it over to the two elder brothers, and he went to get the bamboo wool and started to try to make a fire.

He has seen some survival videos himself, and he has also seen many fire scenes.

But let him make a fire by himself, Qin Feng said that he can only make fire by drilling wood.

But this drill has a different approach.

The foam he brought back before, this will just come in handy.

Qin Feng cut off a net rope with a dagger, and then found a dry branch, tied the net rope to make a bow.

He used the bow drill method, which is naturally better than rubbing sticks with hands.

Then, he took another straight dry branch, cut one end into a cone shape with a dagger, and wound the bow rope around the branch in one direction until the rope was taut.

Finally, he picked a tree trunk and poked a small hole with his dagger.Then put the cone head of the branch against the small hole, and pick up a relatively flat stone against the other end of the branch, and start to drill the fire.

I tried to pull the bow, and the branches turned along.

But the stone couldn't hold down the branch, and it was easy to go sideways, which made him unable to speed up. Once he speeded up, the branch would come out of his hand.

Qin Feng tried three times without success, so he couldn't help but frowned, looking around for something that could hold the branches.

But when he saw the foam, his eyes lit up.

Immediately picked up the dagger, dug out a small foam about the size of a stone on the foam, and then pressed it against the branch, with the stone pressing on it.

Pulling the bow again, the branch turned and pierced the foam immediately, but the palm was safe because there was a stone against it.

And the foam can also fix the branch so that it won't run around like it just did.

Now Qin Feng drilled the fire a lot more smoothly. His speed was not fast at the beginning, but when the smoke started to smoke continuously from the drilling hole, he speeded up.

After drilling for a few minutes, the smoke was getting bigger and bigger. He immediately removed the branches, then poured the black sawdust into the bamboo wool, and started the Fire Worship mode.

That is to hold the bamboo fleece with both hands and blow gently from the bottom.

As the smoke got bigger and bigger, suddenly, a small flame burst out, Qin Feng was overjoyed, put it down quickly, and then put some small dry branches to burn the fire.

"Good boy! I was worried that you would not be able to make a fire. I didn't expect you to be so good that you succeeded in one go." While working, Sieg has been paying attention to Qin Feng's movements.

Seeing that he lit a fire, he gave a thumbs up and heaved a sigh of relief. After all, he and Aldridge were not 100% sure that they could start a fire.

"Good luck, there should be no rain on the island for a few days, and the air is relatively dry." Qin Feng smiled modestly.

This is also a fact, the branches are very dry today, and the weather is good and the bamboo wool has been in the sun for several hours, so it will be a one-time success.

As long as the weather or the fire-making materials are a little damp, the fire may not be able to start.

"I'll check to see if the water over there has been connected. Since the fire has started, let's boil a pot of hot water first!" After Qin Feng turned the fire up, he went to fetch water.

When he came to the place where the water was fetched, he saw that the three bottles were full, and the water was flowing out along the mouth of the bottle.

Qin Feng capped the three bottles and took them back.

Back at the camp, he took out the small pot, which he planned to pour water directly into and burn it in the fire.

But after thinking about it, it would be difficult to hold the pot later, so I first built a small stove with stones.

The beach lacks everything except rocks.

After the small stove was set up and the fire was transferred, Qin Feng clapped his hands and nodded, expressing his satisfaction, and then poured water into the pot to boil.

He looked at the sky, the sun had already set in the west, and it would be dark in a short time.

At present, the tide has begun to recede, and when the tide recedes completely, then it will be a good opportunity for them to find food.

He thought about the other things he needed at the moment, among which firewood was very important, followed by salt.

To be honest, Qin Feng is a very picky person, as can be seen from the fact that he went out of his way to befriend Chef Tan for dipping sauces.

He doesn't want to play survival games, and there are also reasons why he dislikes the bad food.

The desert island life he imagined would bring all kinds of tools and seasonings, which was completely different from simply getting salt for survival.

Survival on a deserted island is just that good, salt is easy to get.

While it was still early, Qin Feng went to collect firewood, first to collect more.

After picking up a few, the water was boiled. He picked them up and put them aside to cool down before continuing to look for firewood.

At around [-]:[-] in the evening, Sickert and Aldridge's bed was finally ready, and the three of them lay on it and tried it.

Sig: "How do you feel?"

Aldrich: "Not bad."

Qin Feng: "It's a bit awkward!"

Sickert: "Let's just make it tonight, I'll cut some grass later, and it won't break when I dry it and spread it tomorrow."

Qin Feng: "OK! The tide has receded a lot now, let's go find food!"

"OK!" X2
The three got up together, put on headlamps, and then used a dagger to cut open several plastic bottles as food containers, and began to look for food.

Aldridge was mainly responsible for filming, while Qin Feng and Sigel were responsible for finding food.

Before they came to the reef area, they found many small crabs on the beach.

"Crab crab, let's catch some crabs first!" Sickert hurriedly chased after him, holding down a small crab with quick eyesight and hands.

The width of the crab's back shell is estimated to be only three centimeters, and it is estimated that there is no meat.

Qin Feng looked up and recognized what kind of crab it was.

It is the Xiangshou crab. This kind of crab is the most common in the coastal areas of China. People who go to the beach have seen it. The little crabs that run into the cave as soon as they walk past are hardly eaten by anyone.

But now is not the time to be picky, so I ate something in the morning and set off, and all three of them were hungry after the day.

Especially Qin Feng, because his physique is getting better and better, he needs more energy. Now this hunger makes him a little crazy.

The two hurriedly chased the Xiangshou crab, but unfortunately the crab ran very fast, they only caught three of them, and they were all very small.

Seeing that there were no crabs to catch, they continued to rush to the reef area.

When Qin Feng stepped over a puddle, his footsteps stopped suddenly, and then he stepped back.

"Did you find anything?" Aldrich was immediately attracted by his behavior, and took a camera to shoot him.

Qin Feng didn't make a sound, but reached out and groped in the water, and took a thorn ball.

"Sea urchin?" Aldrich was a little disappointed. The diameter of this sea urchin was only three or four centimeters, so it was probably too small to eat.

"Well, this should be horse dung sea urchin. It can be eaten directly after washing." Qin Feng is quite satisfied. There are quite a lot of parts of horse dung sea urchin that can be eaten, and it is more or less meat.
