Section 1#Volume 2 A stable food source is the first step to development: Chapter 253 Bamboo is a good thing
Everyone present was a girl, and they were naturally light in weight.
Especially for Su Yan and Anya, because of their height, they are more "light" than others.
So for the two of them, they were almost blown away by the wind just now and couldn't stand steadily.
And the rapid decrease in visibility just now also made the girls fall into a state of panic.
Although he knew that there was a bamboo house not far away and that his three companions, Zhang Liu, Qin Ruoshuang, and Qin Ruoyan, were inside, he also understood that the bamboo house was a very reliable shelter.
But before arriving, the sense of security in everyone's hearts will not be filled.
At this moment, the strong wind turned into a breeze, and the thick clouds in the sky also showed signs of dissipating.
Therefore, the shelter in front of them became the point where everyone stopped and hesitated.
Should we hide inside to avoid the possible rain, or continue on our way?
Seeing that no one responded, Anya also ran to the green shelter. She looked inside for a few seconds, then shouted to the people behind her, "There's some dry wood here!"
"Well, this should be placed here by Zhang Liu and the others to prevent it from getting wet in the rain." He walked to Anya's side and reached out to Wanying to touch the dry firewood.
There was a hint of hesitation in her eyes.
With so much wood, it can burn for at least one or two days. It is definitely a good choice if we set up camp here.
Xiang Wanying, who had never experienced the situation of being blown by strong winds and sparks flying, had never expected this.
If she lit a fire.
As long as the wind is strong, this open-air fire will become a terrible weapon.
In a small place like the shelter, the six of them had nowhere to hide...
The problem that Xiang Wanying is currently worried about is the lack of a fire source.
There was no sun, so using bottled water to focus fire was totally useless.
The method of turning wood to make fire is applicable, after all, the firewood looks very dry.
But she had only seen the bow turn left by Zhang Liu after his success, and Xiang Wanying was not sure what the specific results would be if she imitated it.
If they failed to make a fire, they would have to spend a dark night like this.
He looked at the other people who were gradually approaching.
She cleared her throat and said, "Everyone saw the weather just now. It's probably going to rain heavily!"
"I have two suggestions at the moment!"
"The first suggestion is to stay here." "The advantage is that if I can make a fire successfully, we can huddle together and be sure to avoid the heavy rain and stay warm."
“The downside is that I can’t guarantee a successful fire, and if it rains heavily overnight, it might be very cold!”
Speaking of this, Xiang Wanying also frowned slightly.
She recalled the violent storm she and the eldest lady had experienced before. If it weren’t for the fact that the maid skirt she was wearing was completely waterproof and protected her important parts.
The two of them were afraid that they would catch a cold.
"Second suggestion, head to the bamboo house."
“The good thing is that if we get there in time before the rain starts, we can be sure we have a fire, food, and shelter from the rain!”
"The downside is that if it rains during this period, it means we may have to face heavy rain directly."
He looked up at the sky, then continued to say to Wanying: "We don't have much time left, so let's vote now. Those who are willing to stay will have the left hand, and those who are willing to go to the bamboo house will have the right hand."
Ten seconds later, Anya, Su Yan, Xiang Wanying, Xiang Lingying, Lan Yueting and Gu Qingrou all raised their right hands.
Looking at each other, everyone's eyes showed a bit of determination.
"Everyone, continue on your way. Drink water and other things on the way. You can go a little slower."
Xiang Wanying took out a jaboticaba from the bag wrapped in the curtain behind her and gave one to everyone in turn. Then she looked at Gu Qingrou.
The exact distance from the Green Pool Shelter to the eastern foot of the hill.
Xiang Wanying wasn't sure.
She just guessed from the time everyone was talking about that might be the place where she and her eldest daughter rushed into the jungle.
Now that they have arrived at the green pool, Xiang Wanying is ready to hand over her "leader" job to others.
"I'll lead the way."
Understanding what the other party meant, Gu Qingrou nodded slightly, then took the initiative to walk to the front of the team.
Looking at the still gloomy sky, she ran at her fastest speed.
At the same time, Zhang Liu had already started making the door of the shelter.
Bamboo is a good thing, this is the only sigh in his heart at the moment.
Split the three-meter-long bamboo in half, and then break the half in half again.
In less than a few minutes, Zhang Liu successfully obtained a bamboo strip about the width of two fingers.
They are soft and full of plasticity.
This was the second bamboo he had split. There were already four such bamboo strips piled at Zhang Liu's feet.
The door of the bamboo house is about two meters wide and less than three meters high, so she has to take apart the double-layer curtain cloth, which is about two meters long and wide, and use it.
Under the terrible premise that he might be hit hard by strong winds during a rainstorm, Zhang Liu didn't care at all about reducing the comfort of his bed when sleeping.
Zhang Liu was still able to clearly distinguish what was important and what was not.
While working, he also looked into the house. Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang were both working, which made Zhang Liu feel at ease.
What he feared most was that the two had lost their fighting spirit.
Zhang Liu used the tip of the machete to make a hole in the curtain, and then used rattan to fix the two edges of the first layer of curtains to the three-meter-long bamboo strips.
In this way, a simple "roller curtain" has been completed by him.
There are also three three-meter-long bamboos on the ground.
Zhang Liu didn't have time to make any detailed adjustments, so he tied three bamboos together with rattan to form a small platform.
Then he stepped forward and hung the "rolling curtain" on the beam above the door of the house with the edge of the bamboo strip parallel to the ground.
Qin Ruoshuang and Qin Ruoyan, who were cooking in the bamboo house, were also observing Zhang Liu's actions.
After the "roller blinds" were lowered, the brightness of the light in the entire room dropped significantly.
And the wind that was blowing in slowly from the door suddenly became much stronger.
Just now the wind was blowing in from the entire door, but now it is all blowing in from the gap of about half a meter below the roller curtain.
Therefore, the wind pressure increased significantly, and the fire that had just started was suddenly blown so that the flames flickered.
Qin Ruoyan was so nervous that she even prepared to put out the fire in an emergency.
But thanks to the simple windbreak made on the ground with firewood.
So no matter how hard you blew, only the flames flickered, and the entire burning fire was not affected at all.
Of course, it would not be so easy for Zhang Liu to complete the door.
After experiencing the strong wind just now, he didn't dare to take any risks again.
Section 1#Volume 2 A stable food source is the first step to development: Chapter 254 You should wear underwear and garters on rainy days
For the second piece of curtain cloth, Zhang Liu prepared to make a hole in it directly and then tie it to the three three-meter-long bamboos that served as scaffolding.
He intended it to be a bottom-touching screen to block the wind blowing in from under the roller blinds.
But before that, what Zhang Liu needed to do was to insert a bamboo into the ground.
Based on his own experience, he believed that at least half a meter long bamboo must be buried in the ground to ensure that it can withstand the attack of strong winds and heavy rain.
It’s a physically demanding job and also very time-consuming.
Turning his head to look at the still dark sky, Zhang Liu did not hesitate, turned around and began to work hard to dig a hole.
Just as he finished drilling the second hole, the wind, which had been decreasing, picked up again.
"call!"
The wind rushed in wildly from under the roller blinds.
Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang felt the wind pressure at the same time.
The wind even formed a vortex inside the bamboo house, causing the flames to jump wildly.
Even the wooden stakes placed at the front of the windbreak wall were shaking slightly.
"Zhang Liu..." Qin Ruoyan picked up a large piece of wood and put it on the fire to prevent accidents. Then she quickly stood up and walked to Zhang Liu who was knocking hard on the third hole and said, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"There's nothing I can help with. You and Ruoshuang just stay inside. I'll be done in a little while." Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Zhang Liu smiled and said to the nervous girl in front of him, "It's okay! Don't worry!"
"Ok!"
His smile seemed to have magical power, and Qin Ruoyan nodded slightly to agree.
But as the wind pressure increased, the colors in the sky began to darken again.
"Tick tock..."
The first raindrop fell on a blade of grass on the ground, and then the collision of the clear water drop and the grass blade made a sound.
It's like a signal.
The heavy air could no longer bear the force of the liquefied water droplets.
A heavy rain began to fall accompanied by strong winds.
The wild wind blew wildly, carrying raindrops the size of soybeans, which flew around in all directions as if they were searching for something on the ground.
"Crack!"
A pale white lightning flashed across the distance, as if it had lifted a piece of the dark cloud over there.
It had not started raining yet, but when the wind got stronger, Xiang Wanying and the others, led by Gu Qingrou, had already walked quite a distance.
At present, they are about one-fifth of the way to the bamboo house.
In the end, they still encountered this violent storm.
The rain mixed with strong wind came blowing, and this scene made all the girls subconsciously stop and start looking for a place to hide.
But this is a plain area and there is no place to shelter from the rain.
As the head maid, Xiang Wanying did the only thing she could do at this moment, which was to quickly take off her maid skirt and wrap it around her own eldest daughter.
"Sister Wanying?" Xiang Lingying, who was holding her head and trying to block the rain with her palms, asked in confusion.
"Miss, you are weak, don't catch a cold!" Xiang Wanying, who was wearing a white lingerie suspender skirt, said simply, then she looked at Gu Qingrou in front of her and said, "Gu Qingrou, come here too, my maid skirt is waterproof!"
Xiang Wanying thought that the other party would suffer from menstrual pain, so it was very likely that she had a physique that could not stand being exposed to the rain.
If my maid skirt can be used as a raincoat, it can accommodate two people at a time.
After taking care of her own eldest daughter, she didn't mind taking care of others as well.
"I don't need it, Anya, go ahead!" Gu Qingrou shook her head and rejected Xiang Wanying's proposal. Then she pushed Anya who was beside her and said, "You are still having your period, you can't get wet in the rain!"
"I……"
Just as Anya was about to speak, Gu Qingrou pushed her to Xiang Lingying's side.
Staring blankly at the short-haired girl in front of her, she had never thought that she would have such power.
In the end, Anya and Xiang Lingying wrapped their upper bodies and heads in the still relatively large maid skirts.
The maid skirt was indeed very waterproof. The two could feel the raindrops hitting their heads, but there was no wetness at all. The raindrops simply slid down the surface of the maid skirt.
But it was just a few brief words of communication.
Except for Anya and Xiang Lingying, the upper bodies of the women present remained dry.
The bodies of the others had been completely soaked by the rain.
There was no shelter around, and going up the mountain was clearly a dead end.
