As he was thinking, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a round, bulging object emerging from the soil in front of him.

And right next to Qin Ruoyan's feet, there was a round ball. It was impossible to see what it was, but it seemed to be very flexible.

And below is the cylinder...

Could it be a snake as thick as a calf? !

Given the extremely poor visibility, this was the only hypothesis that came to Zhang Liu's mind for a short period of time.

Without hesitation, he shouted to the girl in front of him, "Go away!"

Then, when Qin Ruoyan subconsciously dodged to the side.

Zhang Liu used the bamboo sword in his hand as a stick and struck down!

If only I had an iron rod in my hand...

It was not until this moment that he suddenly realized a more realistic problem.

That is, for novices, the best way to use any weapon is definitely not stabbing or chopping, but the simplest and most violent smashing or sweeping.

"call……"

"puff……"

"Haw..."

Along with the whistling sound of the bamboo sword cutting through the air, a sound like hitting mud was also heard.

Then the round thing twisted slightly a few times and stopped moving.

At the moment, he didn't know what it was, so Zhang Liu didn't dare to stay any longer.

He dropped the bamboo sword and pulled Qin Ruoyan, who was hiding beside him, towards the shelter behind him.

At this moment, several girls in the shelter had been awakened by Zhang Liu's scream.

Seeing the two people returning, they subconsciously started asking about the situation.

Zhang Liu didn't say anything, he just built a fence first, then picked up a pine torch from the side and put it in the campfire to light it.

Half a minute later, even Anya, who had a very good sleep quality, was awakened by the noise. She began to rub her eyes with her sore arms.

Everyone was shocked when they heard that the snake might be as thick as an arm.

Then Xiang Lingying took the torch, and the others took weapons of various sizes and returned to the place where Zhang Liu had just made his move.

What was lying on the ground was not some scary thing, but a furry creature as big as a girl's forearm with its head smashed.

It is impossible to tell what it is specifically because the head is currently covered in blood.

Xiang Lingying, Lan Yueting, Gu Qingrou and Qin Ruoshuang, the four girls, looked at the head that had been smashed into pieces and immediately showed expressions of fear.

They couldn't recognize what it was at all.

Su Yan, Anya, and Xiang Wanying looked around with a wary look to prevent any sneak attacks from the side.

As for Qin Ruoyan, she was frowning and thinking. She felt that the thing in front of her looked familiar...

Zhang Liu swallowed lightly and after calming himself down, he poked the head of the "unknown creature" with the machete in his hand and pushed it out a little. Suddenly, two small black claws were exposed.

But no matter how Zhang Liu struggled, the opponent who was already completely dead did not move at all.

He just kept half of his body stuck in the hole.

"This should be a bamboo rat! I remember two years ago, a video blogger named Huanong Brothers posted a video about not raising bamboo rats, and I saw it!" Qin Ruoyan spread out her left hand, clenched her right fist and knocked on the palm of her left hand. After seeing the claws, she suddenly showed an expression of sudden enlightenment and said to her sister beside her: "Ruoshuang, you pushed it to me!"

"But are bamboo rats so big?" Qin Ruoshuang reacted after hearing her sister's words.

But no matter how hard she tried to think about it, she couldn't connect the pink and fragrant bamboo rat after being cooked with the huge creature in front of her.

Around Qin Ruoshuang, the other girls also looked puzzled.

Chapter 323: Water Transfer from South to East for Survival in the Wilderness

As Hua Nong is an internet celebrity, Lan Yueting and others have naturally seen videos like "This bamboo rat is unhappy, let's stew it" several times.

But the difference between those carefully raised bamboo rats in the picture and the thing with a bloody head in front of him is really too great.

"It's probably a tropical species. Look at the claw!" Qin Ruoyan squatted down, then used a small knife about ten centimeters long in her hand to clamp the bamboo rat's neck and dragged its entire body out of the cave.

A furry body covered with mud and debris, two small front and back feet, and a short tail.

This undoubtedly verifies the correctness of her words.

"I remember the video said that bamboo rats are edible!" Anya was bolder than Qin Ruoyan. She immediately thought of the possibility of eating them.

"It seems possible, but I saw in Wang Gang's video that he fried it with chili peppers..." Next to Anya, Su Yan put away her guarded expression and then whispered, "Can we do this?"

"Where can we find chili peppers in this place... peel them, chop them into pieces and stew them first." After hearing that it was a bamboo rat, Zhang Liu relaxed. He picked up the trophy, which weighed at least two or three pounds, and said, "Everyone, go back to sleep first. Tomorrow morning we will have bamboo rat meat stewed with mutton, and in the evening we will have Laba porridge."

"Laba porridge?" Every girl, including Qin Ruoyan, asked in surprise.

"Yeah!" Looking at Qin Ruoyan's surprised expression, Zhang Liu smiled and said to her, "I have already thought about how to cook this Laba porridge."

"Okay, then I'm looking forward to it." Qin Ruoyan smiled slightly as everyone looked at her.

Then she followed the others back to the shelter, lay down next to the fire and prepared to sleep.

Zhang Liu used a torch to light a small bonfire outside. He planned to skin the bamboo rat, which was still a little hot...

"Sister... why are you outside with Zhang Liu?" After all the girls lay down, Qin Ruoshuang whispered in Qin Ruoyan's ear.

Although her voice was already very low.

But at the moment, apart from the sound of the bonfire burning and the sound of Zhang Liu making a fire outside, there was basically no other sound around.

So this question was also heard by other girls, and it was also the question in their minds.

Why are Zhang Liu and Qin Ruoyan outside?

So at this moment, there are not only Lan Yueting and Su Yan who are relatively close.

Others also pricked up their ears and listened quietly.

"I was going to the bathroom, and I happened to meet him who was also going to the bathroom." Qin Ruoyan cleared her throat and then made an excuse.

The reason why she was outside with Zhang Liu was actually because she just had a sudden impulse and wanted to take him out for a walk.

But after saying this, Qin Ruoyan knew that it would arouse suspicion from other girls, so she simply found an excuse to cover it up.

Save yourself the trouble later.

Qin Ruoyan's reason was quite reasonable, and almost every girl breathed a sigh of relief.

By the time Zhang Liu had finished gutting and skinning the bamboo rat outside, and then carried Baihuahua's bamboo rat into the shelter, all the girls had fallen asleep.

Looking at the girls who had completely occupied the area around the fire, he had no choice but to hang the bamboo rat in his hand on the wooden wall, then found a corner and lay down to sleep.

As the morning star gradually disappeared, the light of dawn emerged in the dark night sky.

The forty-ninth day of being in distress on the deserted island has officially arrived.

After leaving the water vein on the top of the mountain, the threat of water shortage came again.

Currently, the water supply is only enough to cook breakfast.

There is not even enough water for washing.

Fortunately, everyone had already opened up a simpler straight path yesterday.

Therefore, it only takes less than half a day to go from the highest point on the east side of the mountain to the south side of the pool or the top of the mountain with a river, even if it is a round trip.

After everyone got up.

Zhang Liu also skinned and dried the bamboo rat overnight, removed its head, cut it into sixteen pieces, and slowly stewed it in a small clay pot.

Not every girl can accept bamboo rats.

To be precise, the only five people who can directly accept bamboo rats are Lan Yueting, Qin Ruoyan, Qin Ruoshuang, Su Yan, and Anya.

Xiang Wanying, Gu Qingrou and Xiang Lingying actually couldn't accept it.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that food is gradually becoming more abundant and there are more choices.

There were also nine strips of chopped lamb stewing in a small clay pot.

Therefore, even if you don’t eat bamboo rat meat, you won’t starve.

Since we had to start hard labor in the morning, our breakfast today was salty broth with large pieces of taro that were roasted over charcoal until crispy on the outside and cooked on the inside.

It can also be said that protein and carbohydrates go hand in hand.

However, after Zhang Liu and the five girls who dared to eat the bamboo rat meat, they exclaimed, "This bamboo rat tastes very good!"

The remaining three people also silently picked up a piece of bamboo rat meat and put it in their mouths, and their eyes brightened up noticeably.

Probably because bamboo rats grow up eating bamboo.

The meat itself is very lean with almost no fat.

There is a thick layer of skin on the outside, and the texture is similar to sheepskin when you bite it.

But it's not greasy at all, and there is no fat layer between the skin and the meat.

The meat is very fine-fibered and tender, almost comparable to the meat from a bird's leg.

After just chewing it lightly and ignoring the special grassy taste, the three of them began to like this kind of meat.

After breakfast, everyone began to assign tasks.

Qin Ruoyan, Qin Ruoshuang and Gu Qingrou were responsible for fetching water from the pool on the top of the mountain.

After making breakfast, everyone had no fresh water left and urgently needed to replenish it.

Qin Ruoyan carried a sheepskin bag and five beverage bottles.

Qin Ruoyan and Gu Qingrou each carried six large bamboo tubes on their backs.

This is the water storage container that Zhang Liu made this morning using the bamboo he had cut last night.

A bamboo tube can hold about one liter of water.

After this trip, the drinking water problem here can be largely solved.

Anya and Lan Yueting also followed.

However, neither of them carried any bamboo tubes, but instead carried a bundle of firewood.

This bundle of firewood is not intended to be carried to the pond on the top of the mountain to burn, as there is already enough firewood there.

Zhang Liu asked them to walk about fifteen steps in a straight line and then stick a piece of firewood on the spot.

In order to completely solve the water problem, he had to start building a pipeline to divert water from the waterfall.

As a preliminary work for the "South-to-East Water Diversion Project", confirming the installation and connection points of the bamboo pipes is also one of the needs.

There are currently forty-two bamboos more than 20 meters long on this open space. Zhang Liu also needs to know how many bamboos are needed to divert water from the top of the mountain.

In his view, the firewood stuck on the ground was not only a mark of the support points, but also an important source of data for calculating how many of these 20-meter-long bamboos were needed as pipelines.

Chapter 224: It won’t take even a second to go on (Monthly Ticket Rewards Plus Chapter 27)

As for Zhang Liu himself, he went to the bamboo forest below with Xiang Lingying, Su Yan, and Xiang Wanying to make bamboo spears in preparation for hunting wild boars later.

Among them, Xiang Lingying is a unit of measurement. She tried to see if the weight of the bamboo spear could be borne by a girl, although in terms of weight she was definitely not as light as Anya and Su Yan.

But in terms of physical fitness, Xiang Lingying really seems a bit frail, and is likely to have the worst physical strength among the girls present...

Before the two groups of five consisting of Qin Ruoyan and her three companions and Lan Yueting and her two companions left, Zhang Liu also made separate requests to Gu Qingrou and Anya.

That is to let them secretly go to the west side of the mountain to take a look.

See if the wild boar over there is still there...

To prevent hunting from going in vain.

After the division of labor was completed, we agreed to gather here at noon.

Everyone started their respective work.

Qin Ruoyan, Qin Ruoshuang, and Gu Qingrou went directly to the top of the mountain, so they walked quite fast.

Lan Yueting and Anya counted to fifteen in unison, and then thrust branches under their feet as marking points.
