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

Her feet have now recovered to the point where she can walk normally.

At this moment, Lan Yueting's tone was very sincere and full of gratitude. She knew in her heart that if Zhang Liu had not come to the rescue in the rain.

I'm afraid I would have been lying in the heavy rain until now. Looking at the feeling of being soaked all over and freezing cold, Lan Yueting was really not sure how long she could hold on.

"We are all companions, it's only natural." Zhang Liu smiled and shook his head. He also happened to catch a glimpse of the guilty looks on the faces of Su Yan, Xiang Lingying and others. He was moved and quickly added: "In fact, Su Yan and the others wanted to come together... but I persuaded them not to."

"Huh?" Lan Yueting was stunned when she heard Zhang Liu's words.

Then she immediately realized that Zhang Liu was taking the initiative to explain why Xiang Lingying and others did not come out to look for him together.

"I..." Lan Yueting was a little embarrassed at this moment. First of all, she didn't mean to complain about other people not coming.

At the moment she fell, Lan Yueting was thinking that no one else would come out in the rain to look for her.

She definitely doesn't want to become a burden to others because of herself.

Zhang Liu’s arrival was like a miracle of “the arrival of a hero” to Lan Yueting.

But it would be really embarrassing for her to explain herself by saying “I didn’t actually want you to save me”.

Because that would seem a bit deliberate...

Su Yan, who was standing nearby, also had a slightly embarrassed look on her face when she looked at Lingying and the others.

It’s not that they don’t want to find Lan Yueting, but they really can’t do it.

After the few people arrived at the bamboo house, they had been running on the road carrying heavy loads. When they suddenly relaxed, they breathed a sigh of relief, and their physical strength was almost exhausted.

Even Anya, who had the strongest physical strength, no longer had the strength to go back and look for people at that time.

Listening to Zhang Liu's explanation at this moment, the eyes of several girls were full of favor.

They know that the other party is "taking the blame"

Xiang Lingying's mouth corners slightly raised.

Feeling Zhang Liu's "high emotional intelligence behavior", she once again felt that her head maid's vision was really brilliant.

There was also a hint of smile on Xiang Wanying's lips.

As the head maid, she really likes Zhang Liu's high emotional intelligence approach.

As for Su Yan, Anya, and Gu Qingrou, they were also very grateful to Zhang Liu for maintaining the harmonious atmosphere within the team.

"As for finding someone, I can go alone. After all, the route can be determined directly. But in the future, if you encounter this kind of weather that may rain, you must not go out rashly." Zhang Liu just gave both parties a way out. He took a deep breath, then smiled and brought up the topic that was brought up by Lan Yueting's unintentional words: "The air after the rain is really refreshing."

Just like what Zhang Liu said.

More than three hours ago, an extremely terrible thunderstorm arrived hastily at noon when we were supposed to take a break and eat, sweeping across the sky and earth and swallowing up everything.

Then it ended hastily three or four hours later, before dusk.

Now the weather has become sunny again, as if everything that happened before had never happened.

Apart from some rain water left here and there, the soil underfoot became muddy and wet.

All other traces had been wiped clean, and there seemed to be no sign that it had rained.

After taking a look at everything around him, Zhang Liu then set his eyes on the bamboo house whose eaves were still dripping with water.

All the bad things are over, and it is a new day.

Such a thought suddenly came into his mind.

The other eight girls were also watching everything around them. At this moment, they had the same feeling as Zhang Liu, as if they were reborn again.

"Look, there's a rainbow!"

Qin Ruoshuang, who was looking at the sky, pointed to the sky in the northeast and shouted in surprise.

Everyone immediately looked over there.

After the rain, the sky cleared up and was blue. It seemed that nature wanted to reward these nine people for overcoming the difficulties.

A rainbow has appeared on the horizon, like a colorful ribbon hanging in the blue sky.

"so beautiful……"

"What a pity that I don't have a cell phone to take pictures..."

"If we had a cell phone, we could have just called for help!"

The girls' chattering voices reached my ears.

Zhang Liu couldn't stop smiling at all.

However, the only thing that made him helpless was that the earthen stove he built at the door had been soaked by the heavy rain, leaving only a small half of soil at the bottom.

It seems that if I want to make a stove in the future, I will have to use the red clay over there.

I don't know if it's okay to turn around and build a stove...

Such a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

After it has been decided to stay overnight and go up the mountain tomorrow.

After everyone finished watching the picture of the rainbow after the rain, they immediately began to prepare dinner.

Because of the arrival of six people in the cave.

Therefore, the current manpower situation can be said to be more than sufficient.

The only frustration is the lack of water.

No matter how heavy the rain is outside, it does not mean that the rainwater will be collected automatically.

If Zhang Liu had not set out to look for someone, he might have intended to move the small clay jar outside to store water.

But due to his departure, and the fact that several girls in the bamboo house who were soaking wet were busy taking off their clothes and drying them, while Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang were busy helping out nearby, they also had no energy to think about other things.

After Zhang Liu brought Lan Yueting back, he was completely focused on the five girls' bare backs in different shapes. He had no time to think about things like water accumulation.

As a result, the only source of water available to everyone at the moment was the sheepskin bag of pool water that Zhang Liu had brought back earlier, and it was not even filtered yet.

Currently, Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang are using charcoal to filter.

I estimate that in the end it will be less than four liters.

This amount is indeed enough for dinner.

But thanks to the fact that it had just rained and the air is relatively humid, people's demand for water is not too high at the moment.

"We'll set off at noon tomorrow. In the morning, we'll take the supplies to the green pool, and then go up along the river. The distance is about the same." After thinking for a few seconds, Zhang Liu made a plan.

Water is essential.

Therefore, before going up the mountain, you must at least prepare enough water for one day.

Five bottles plus a sheepskin bag of water are just enough for nine people to use for a whole day. Once they reach the top of the mountain, there is no need to worry about the water source.

As for the route up the mountain, it is indeed more convenient to go up through the natural trail in the bamboo forest.

But if you want to go back from the green pool to the east side of the hill, it will take about the same amount of time.

After all, the natural path created by the bamboo forest only goes to the top of the mountainside.

Further up, there are also densely grown trees.

Before the road was opened, the efficiency of climbing up from the top of the eastern mountainside should be similar to that of climbing up from the shining top on the south.

"Okay!" All eight girls nodded slightly, although there was no "upper and lower class differences" among them.

But they still maintained a unanimous attitude of obedience to Zhang Liu's words.

Section 1#Volume 2 A stable food source is the first step to development: Chapter 267 Maybe he doesn’t like girls who are too strong...

Then everyone started to assign their own tasks.

Xiang Wanying, Lan Yueting and Su Yan were responsible for getting some firewood from the nearby woods.

Although the wood is definitely soaked after the heavy rain and will produce smoke when burned, it will be good wood as long as it is dried in the fire.

Zhang Liu's additional requirement for the three people was to find some consumables that were easy to start a fire, such as old man's whiskers.

Because in his mind, if he went up the mountain later.

Everything in the mountain must still be wet, so it's hard to make a fire for the night.

Stocking up on supplies in advance is also an indispensable step.

Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang were preparing to stew the dried bird meat which had little meat and many bones.

After the soup has become flavorful, add the meatier but sturdier rabbit legs.

This way, they can play a complementary role.

The job of Gu Qingrou, Anya, and Xiang Lingying is to pack and organize the supplies, and then prepare what they will take with them when they leave tomorrow.

After all, what everyone really planned to do was not to take a bath, but to pick taro on the top of the mountain.

Preparing enough storage containers in advance is an indispensable step.

You really can't pick up much taro with your hands alone.

After assigning work to others.

Zhang Liu also picked up his knife and prepared to go up the mountain to the bamboo forest.

Last time, Anya and Su Yan cut a bunch of bamboos there, and he wanted to carry two more down before dark.

There are not enough bowls for eating at the moment.

After experiencing the joy of drinking soup while eating, Zhang Liu could never forget this feeling.

He thought that a bowl made by splitting a bamboo as thick as an arm into two pieces could also be useful.

Just as Zhang Liu was about to leave with his machete, Gu Qingrou, who was taking out rabbit legs, dried bird meat and dried fish meat in the house, called him.

Pointing at the dried meat that had been completely soaked by the rain, she asked, "Zhang Liu, will it go bad after being soaked in rain water like this?"

Xiang Lingying and Anya, who were helping Gu Qingrou, also showed worried expressions on their faces.

The three people who have been spoiled since childhood only know that pickled foods may go bad after coming into contact with water.

But they were not sure whether it would go bad if it came into contact with water, or whether it would require a lot of water to go bad.

"Hmm?" Hearing Gu Qingrou's words, Zhang Liu turned his head and then walked to Gu Qingrou and looked at her.

Different from the mutton jerky that is brought back into the house immediately after the rain.

The rabbit legs and bird meat had been carried outside in the heavy rain, so they looked and felt wet.

"How about this, let's try to dry it next to the fire first." Faced with the questions from the three girls, he didn't know what to do.

Zhang Liu grew up in the city, and he has no idea how to preserve pickled meat.

But soon, Zhang Liu came up with a new solution.

"Well, Sister Wanying, Lan Yueting and Su Yan have already gone to the woods to collect firewood..."

Looking around at Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang who were lighting a fire in the bamboo house to prepare dinner, and Gu Qingrou and others who were sorting materials, he made a suggestion.

"How about this, Anya, you stay here to help, and Xiang Lingying and Gu Qingrou, you two will accompany me up the mountain to get some bamboo."

In order to ensure that the dried meat would not rot, Zhang Liu prepared to make a simple smoking rack and put the dried meat on the drying rack for secondary smoking.

Here is a drawing of the smokehouse rack (referenced to Green Hell)

He thought that a one-meter-high smoking rack would require about four three-meter-long bamboos.

If I carry two by myself, and Xiang Lingying and Gu Qingrou each carry one, that should be enough.

"I want to carry bamboo too." When Anya heard Zhang Liu asking her to rest where she was, she immediately stomped her feet in protest.

"You are in a special period, don't go up!" Zhang Liu shook his head and said, "It's safe. Last time you were chasing a rabbit during your period and sprained your ankle, right?"

"Ah my! Who told you!" Anya became angry immediately after hearing Zhang Liu's words.
