After being stranded on a deserted island, they all plotted against me

There is support from companions in the distance.

It’s just a water shortage problem right now. There is a green pool of water right next to us. What other problems could there be?

Turn your gaze away from the direction of the cave.

Zhang Liu, who had completely adjusted his mindset, began to think calmly.

Qin Ruoyan's instructions for using this herbal medicine for external injuries, called Dragon Bud Grass, is to simply crush it and apply it on the affected area.

However, judging from the current condition of Xiang Wanying's wound, applying herbal medicine without cleaning it might cause the wound to become infected and inflamed again.

Among the supplies delivered was salt.

Zhang Liu also understood a little bit based on what he learned in biology class.

That is, although salt water cannot completely kill the virus.

However, high-concentration salt water can inhibit bacteria to a certain extent and cause some bacteria to have osmotic differences, which then lead to water loss and death.

Zhang Liu didn't know what high-concentration salt water was.

But he was still able to adjust the saturated brine.

Therefore, the most important thing to do right now is to obtain enough fresh water and solve the urgent problem of water shortage for the three people.

"You sit here for a while, I'll get some water." Zhang Liu handed the instructions for the medicinal materials in his hand to Xiang Lingying.

Then, before leaving with the sheepskin bag, he considered that after Xiang Lingying read the instructions on the medicinal materials, she might give the medicine directly to Xiang Wanying in an emergency.

So he turned around, looked into the other person's bright eyes, and warned him seriously: "Don't move around, these herbs and other things should be used after cleaning the wound!"

"Know it!"

After nodding seriously to Lingying, Zhang Liu dared to leave the two of them and walked slowly towards the green pool.

Inside the shelter, Xiang Wanying lay on a hammock with her legs dangling in the air.

This kind of space under her body gives her a feeling of being suspended, which makes her feel very comfortable and cozy.

Although holding Zhang Liu all the time makes Xiang Wanying feel safe.

But the embarrassing situation of having her sensitive points stimulated at every turn also made her feel exhausted and weak.

And next to Xiang Wanying was Xiang Lingying who was also lying there.

She had always been fond of hammocks, so after Zhang Liu left the shelter, she simply lay down to rest.

Both of them were very relaxed at this moment, and they both felt very tired.

For Zhang Liu, the most tiring situation was traveling for two days while carrying Xiang Wanying on his back.

But for Xiang Lingying and Xiang Wanying.

Before seeing the green pool and the shelter, both of them were in a highly nervous state, fearing that they would not be able to find the green pool or the next supply point.

Until now lying in a hammock.

Only then did they slowly free themselves from their tense mental state.

Turning to look at the young lady who was in a daze beside her, Xiang Wanying glanced at Zhang Liu who was walking towards the pool and whispered, "Young lady, he is really a very considerate man!"

The descriptive word she used at this moment was man, not boy.

Because Xiang Wanying wanted to find a time to explain something directly to her eldest daughter.

But considering the other party's age and acceptance.

So she decided to start by instilling in the other party the concept that "Zhang Liu is a man."

Once Xiang Lingying accepts it, the next step is to change your mindset.

Tell the other person "Zhang Liu is a good choice for you to take him in as your boyfriend"

Without thinking about the maid's thoughts, she nodded slightly to Lingying to show her agreement, and then said, "Zhang Liu is indeed very careful."

After saying that, she handed the paper she had casually placed on the bed next to her to Xiang Wanying and said, "Sister Wanying, do you want to take a look too?"

"Haven't you and Zhang Liu seen it?" Xiang Wanying took it and glanced at it, then put aside the paper with various precautions written on it and said, "Let's talk about medication and other things after Zhang Liu comes back."

"Oh." Xiang Lingying nodded obediently and continued to relax on the hammock.

Next to the green pool, Zhang Liu put the sheepskin bag into it and scooped up a large bag of water.

Then he ran to the front of the shelter and squatted down, taking out pyrite and old man's whiskers as ignition from his backpack.

The ignition started.

Xiang Lingying and Xiang Wanying also got up from the bed.

They stood shoulder to shoulder and watched Zhang Liu squatting in front of them busying himself.

Looking at the busy boy, both of them had their own emotions in their eyes.

Soon, a bonfire appeared in front of Zhang Liu.

Since there was enough firewood piled up before, he saved the trouble of going outside to collect firewood.

I started filtering the pool water right away.

Zhang Liu had already collected all the large green leaves and small gravel for filtering before starting the fire.

As for the all-important charcoal, that's even easier.

Just move the remaining charcoal from the last burn to the side.

After making a hole under the leaf funnel filled with filtering material, Zhang Liu aimed it at the clay plate that was being visited.

As for the tool for scooping water out of the sheepskin bag, it is the small bowl mentioned earlier.

It is just the right size to fit into the hole of a sheepskin bag.

Zhang Liu prepared to pour the filtered water into a clay dish.

Then use the rolling stone method to boil it repeatedly for disinfection.

Seeing Zhang Liu grinding carbon powder and scooping water at the same time, he said to Lingying: "Zhang Liu, let me help you."

"Okay!" Zhang Liu turned to her and nodded, saying, "That's great!"

At the moment, he felt that he was quite busy and confused as he switched between tasks with his left and right hands.

Hearing Zhang Liu's words, Xiang Lingying immediately jumped out of bed, ran to the other person and started to help.

With Xiang Lingying's help, Zhang Liu no longer needs to lower his head to grind the carbon powder.

The efficiency of water filtration has increased significantly.

At the same time, in order to ensure safety, he also filtered it repeatedly.

Finally, when it was completely dark.

A whole sheepskin bag of green pool water was finally transformed into drinkable water that was filtered through a clay pan, boiled, and brought to lukewarm levels.

Looking at Xiang Lingying, who was eager to wait, and Xiang Wanying, who was sitting on the hammock with the same look of anticipation.

Zhang Liu scooped a bowl of water into his mouth as a test.

Feeling the clear sweetness in his mouth, he smiled a little and said, "The water is fine! You can drink it!"

Because of the water, the three of them didn't even have time to prepare dinner.

But the harvest was indeed good, about three liters in total.

"Sister Wanying! You drink first!" Xiang Lingying took the small bowl from Zhang Liu and did not drink it herself. Instead, she scooped a bowl and handed it to Xiang Wanying.

"Thank you, Miss."

There was plenty of water, so Xiang Wanying didn't bother to be polite with Xiang Lingying. She took the small bowl and poured the water into her mouth.

The Xiang family's head maid's eyes, which had originally been a little listless, suddenly brightened up.

This was the first sip of fresh water she drank today, and it really had an unforgettable taste.

Section 1#Volume 2 A stable food source is the first step to development: Chapter 142 The maid’s little trick…

After drinking three bowls of water, Xiang Wanying shook her head slightly to indicate that she no longer needed it.

So Xiang Lingying picked up the small bowl and started drinking water.

She was also very thirsty.

In front of two people who are replenishing water.

Zhang Liu bent down and lightly roasted the small taro that had been placed next to him for several days next to the charcoal fire.

There were a lot of them, about twenty in total.

Arranged in a full circle around the fire.

He planned to have a good meal to restore the energy he had consumed during the day.

Then Zhang Liu stood up and went to the side to check the clay jars that he had previously placed to dry in the shade.

After these days, the degree of drying was very good. When he poked the surface of the jar with his finger, it was already very hard.

So maybe this thing can be put directly into the fire and burned?

This thought flashed through Zhang Liu's mind as he put down the clay pot and walked to the campfire.

But right now, the most important thing for him to do is not to arrange this clay jar.

Instead, he used the leftover water from the two girls to prepare disinfectant salt water to treat Xiang Wanying's wound.

Zhang Liu didn't know what the appropriate brine concentration was, but he knew how to prepare a saturated brine solution.

Simply add salt violently until it can no longer melt.

Under Xiang Lingying's gaze, Zhang Liu transferred some of the water from the clay plate into a small bowl, and then added half a bag of sea salt into the small bowl.

He took a thin wooden stick and stirred the small bowl vigorously for a long time.

Don't stop until the sea salt stops melting. If you look closely, you will see a light layer of salt powder at the bottom of the bowl.

This is definitely a super saturated salt water solution.

"Xiang Wanying, bear with it. It may hurt a little later." He used the fresh water in the clay dish to clean Xiang Wanying's injured foot again. Then Zhang Liu picked up the small bowl and said to the slightly flushed Xiang Wanying, "This is concentrated salt water!"

Beside the two of them, Xiang Lingying also held his breath slightly.

When the situation came to treating the wound, she was equally nervous.

After all, if it is not handled properly, the head maid's foot may be delayed for a long time, or the situation may even get worse.

Xiang Lingying couldn't even imagine the consequences if the wound worsened in this desolate mountain area.

"Yeah!" Looking at the serious expression on Zhang Liu's face, Xiang Wanying nodded slightly, and then she closed her eyes.

Xiang Wanying once again put on an attitude of "Just come forward, I don't care."

After a few seconds, a slightly moist feeling came from the wound on the sole of her foot.

Then there was a slight pain as if being pressed by fingernails.

In less than two seconds, this slight pain began to turn into a piercing pain, and continued to penetrate deep into the bone marrow.

It was as if the wound was opened directly and a handful of non-hot chili powder was sprinkled inside.

"Well!"

Xiang Wanying stretched her calves hard and resisted the pain with all her strength.

But the pain still continued in waves.

Every time there was a slight improvement, the pain would come back with a cool feeling.

As an ordinary high school student, the most Zhang Liu had was the "wound treatment experience" of using alcohol swabs to apply to the parts of his body that were injured in fights.

So he didn't know how to use salt water to clean the wound to be considered "completely rinsed"

So Zhang Liu could only pour the salt water in the small bowl onto Xiang Wanying's wound little by little. He was ready to "repeatedly cleanse"

Until the salt water is used up.

"All right……"

When Zhang Liu's words reached Xiang Wanying's ears, the pain in her feet had not stopped.
