However, he did not say this directly, but picked up a bottle and walked towards the green water pool.

Let’s filter the water first and see if the fresh water here is drinkable. For Zhang Liu, the most urgent problem that needs to be solved is the fresh water problem.

After all, according to experience, the red banana juice in the sheepskin bag will start to smell in the afternoon.

At this moment, on the grassland, Anya handed over the three rabbits she had killed to Lan Yueting, and then said, "You take this back first, and I'll take the rest to support Zhang Liu."

"what?"

Lan Yueting turned her head and looked at the two remaining rabbits tied up with grass roots on the ground. She was a little confused for a moment.

If she heard correctly, Anya was planning to act alone.

"Well! I'm going to give Zhang Liu a big surprise!"

Picking up the rabbit from the ground, Anya put the bone bayonet on the "rabbit skin multi-purpose belt" around her waist, and then she walked towards the green pool on her own.

"But, Anya, Zhang Liu said not to act alone!" Anya had already walked quite a distance before Lan Yueting realized that the other party was not joking. She quickly ran forward to stop Anya and said, "It's very dangerous!"

"It's only half an hour away from the cave. It shouldn't be too dangerous, right?" Anya asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Are you so scared? Then I'll go back with you first?"

"I'm not the one in danger! It's you!" Lan Yueting felt quite amused at this moment.

I am obviously worried about the other person.

Why do you make people worry?

"I'm fine." Shaking her head, Anya said, "I know the An family's secret fighting skills!"

As she spoke, she drew out the bone spur dagger and began to demonstrate.

"No, no..." Lan Yueting quickly raised her hand to stop Anya's action, and then said: "How about I put the rabbit back and then go with you?"

"No." Shaking her head, Anya rejected Lan Yueting's suggestion: "We need people in the cave."

Seeing Lan Yueting's face full of worry, she just smiled, picked up the rabbit and ran away.

Although Anya was running with short legs, it was unlikely for Lan Yueting to catch up with her because she had "double oversized weights" on her chest.

"You...be careful." Looking at the other person's back, she could only pray for him silently in her heart.

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

When Anya started to run forward with her short legs, Zhang Liu also started the first filtering.

Fold the banana leaf into a funnel shape and then fill it with carbon powder until it is very fine.

The top layer uses a piece of curtain cloth as basic filtering.

Under the expectant gaze of Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang, he slowly poured some water from the bottle into the filter funnel.

"Zhang Liu, why don't you make a hole?" Qin Ruoyan looked a little confused.

Because there was no opening in the green leaf funnel in Zhang Liu's hand, one-fifth of the liquid that he poured in for the first time did not come out at all and remained inside.

"In order to allow the water to flow completely through the carbon powder." Putting down the bottle in his hand, Zhang Liu picked up a sharp wooden stick from the side and poked it directly through the bottom of the funnel.

Then he shook and stirred the branch slightly, widening the gap.

It's not the case that water will immediately start to spray with a "sizzling" sound.

The hole, which was about the size of the girl's little finger, did not leak water immediately, but slowly overflowed with a slightly gray liquid.

This was the experience Zhang Liu gained from filtering water in front of Gu Qingrou last time.

The first liquid wasn't too clean.

Even charcoal needs to be cleaned before use.

Holding the simple filter funnel high in his hand, he silently watched the water seeping out of the hole change from gray to as clear as morning dew.

Then Zhang Liu placed the funnel on the small clay bowl that he had dug out in the morning and had cooled completely.

He had already cleaned the small bowl in advance.

Although the shape is a little bit surprising, it is indeed waterproof.

Now Zhang Liu wanted to test whether this small bowl with thick edges could be used to boil water.

Section 1#Volume 2 A stable food source is the first step to development: Chapter 93: Anya, please eat more papayas...

After a whole bottle of water is filtered, it fills the small bowl to about two-thirds.

The clarity of the liquid inside is quite good.

This made Zhang Liu feel a little relieved.

Picking up a stone that had been burned for a long time from the side, he began the first boiling test.

I hope... it doesn't explode.

Zhang Liu swallowed lightly, and then he carefully put the stone in.

"Shoot..."

The water immediately boiled and the ceramic bowl began to shake slightly.

But the shaking soon stopped.

This made Zhang Liu a little happy. It seemed that there would be no problem in boiling water.

"Well, let's wait for it to cool down and then burn it again." Putting down the portable chopsticks in his hand, he looked at Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang and said, "Shall we go get some soil now?"

I want to build a "kiln" that can sustain firing for a long time.

The amount of soil needed is definitely not the amount used to make pottery pots yesterday.

At the very least, the amount will be nearly a hundred times greater.

But there isn't much else here.

The yellow-brown soil can really be used at will.

Qin Ruoshuang and Qin Ruoyan went to carry the soil, while Zhang Liu himself squatted in the area where the banana grove was originally located and began to build the prototype of the kiln.

His initial idea was very simple, which was a trumpet-shaped design with a larger top and a smaller bottom.

In this way, large pieces of pottery to be fired later can be stuck on the edge of the kiln and then smoked by the flames.

But soon, Zhang Liu thought of the shortcomings of this design.

If the pottery and the rim are fired together.

Wouldn't all my previous efforts be wasted?

You can't destroy the kiln every time you fire a batch.

That would definitely be twice the result with half the effort.

So he came up with a second plan.

First, dig a circular hole in the ground, and then build a rim of soil around the edge of the hole.

Then the clay dug by Qin Ruoshuang and Qin Ruoyan was crushed and kneaded into a cake with the thickness of a palm and the width of one meter square.

The next step is to use a branch and fingers to poke a dozen holes in the cake, wait for it to dry, and then put it into the fire to harden it.

This is the grate that will follow.

When the grate is finished firing, place it on the round pit and raise the edges around it.

In this way, you can then put the firewood in the pit and burn it, allowing the flame and heat to transfer upwards.

After completing this work, it was already noon.

Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang moved some clay again and piled it near the banana grove.

Zhang Liu started to boil the pool water in the bowl for the second time.

He had smelled it just now and there was no obvious odor in the water.

So theoretically it can be drunk directly.

"I'm going to go back with you this afternoon." After throwing the stone into the fire to heat it up again, Zhang Liu evenly poured all the banana juice in the sheepskin bag into three empty bottles. He looked at the two people in front of him and said, "Letting you two go alone, I really..."

Just when Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang were about to speak out against Zhang Liu's decision.

Anya's voice suddenly appeared.

"Aha! I found you!"

Holding two motionless rabbits in her hands and wearing a rabbit skin belt, she was shouting to three people near the shelter from afar.

Turning around to look at Anya who was running towards them, Zhang Liu, Qin Ruoshuang and Qin Ruoyan all had confused expressions.

"Anya, what happened over there in the cave?"

Handing a bottle of oxidized red banana juice to Anya who was gasping for breath, Zhang Liu asked worriedly.

In his opinion, the other party would come directly like this.

It is very likely that some amazing changes have taken place inside the cave.

Don’t let us get ambushed by... wolves!

Zhang Liu suddenly had a bad guess in his mind.

"Gu Qingrou has her period, does that count?" Yang Tian gulped down half a bottle of water in one breath, and Anya said, "There's nothing else."

"Student An Ya!" Qin Ruoyan, who was also having her period, couldn't help but scolded, "Zhang Liu is a boy!"

"Ah... okay." Scratching her head awkwardly, Anya felt a little helpless at the moment. She subconsciously did not regard Zhang Liu as an outsider, so she spoke without thinking too much.

"If you're alright, why are you here?" Zhang Liu picked up a papaya and handed it to Anya, saying, "And you brought two rabbits with you?"

"I'm afraid you won't have any supplies." After throwing the two rabbits on the ground, Anya said, "When are you going to go back?"

"Well, this afternoon... you came just in time." Zhang Liu touched his chin and said, "I can take these two rabbits with me, and if you three are going, you can go back directly in the afternoon."

Anya's coming made him feel relieved.

The previous sparring had already made Zhang Liu realize that Anya was not the kind of weak little girl.

So if she is with us on the way back, our safety will definitely be guaranteed.

"What do you mean?" Compared to the two sisters who looked somewhat dejected, Anya looked at Zhang Liu blankly and asked, "The three of us are going back in the afternoon? I'm here to help!"

"Qin Ruoyan is also having her period...it hurts!"

Zhang Liu was talking to Anya about the personnel situation on his side, and then his waist was twisted hard by Qin Ruoyan, whose face suddenly turned red.

After feeling the pain, Zhang Liu immediately shut up obediently.

"Oh oh oh!" Anya nodded and understood what Zhang Liu meant.

Then she started to check the shelter where several people lived while eating papaya.

"You guys are actually starting to sleep on beds?" Anya's eyes suddenly lit up after seeing the hammock.

She sat on it without hesitation, then lay down and began to twist her waist wildly, enjoying the comfort of being grounded.

Zhang Liu, who was sorting out his equipment, looked at them speechlessly.

Qin Ruoshuang and Qin Ruoyan simultaneously picked up a papaya from the fruit pile and prepared to give it to Anyaduo, whose breasts were hardly visible after she lay down.

After slaughtering, skinning and gutting the two rabbits, Zhang Liu was reluctant to eat this "support food" but instead placed it next to the fire and carefully roasted it.

Just now he boiled the water in the bowl for the second time and drank it.

After taking a bite, it has a slightly salty taste of wood ash, and no other special taste.

So this method of filtering and then boiling should be feasible!

This made Zhang Liu feel relieved.

He planned to make a large amount of this filtered water in the afternoon and store it in a sheepskin bag, and then take it with him on the road tomorrow.

As long as I don’t get into any trouble from drinking too much these few days.

Then the problem of drinking water in the cave will be directly solved in the future.

Of course, it is also necessary to fire pottery that can store large amounts of water as early as possible.
