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

They had already used a simple wooden tool like a small tip on their arm to dig a "ditch" around the shelter that was half a meter wide and more than ten centimeters deep.

Of course, there is also the reason that they use water to constantly moisten the soil, thereby reducing the difficulty of digging.

Zhang Liu and Xiang Lingying, who were digging next to the pond, had never expected this method. They continued to dig, one digging the ground and the other poking the soil...

This trench was dug around the shelter and filled with water as a backup against wildfires.

Then Xiang Wanying and others began the final arrangements for burning the wasteland, preserving the firewood for basic use in the next few days, which was not difficult.

After cutting down all the dead trees, we now have as much wood as we need.

Then they spread all the hay they had collected from the surrounding area inside the "homestead" of the shelter as ignition, and paid special attention to the areas with remaining dead tree trunks and bamboo trunks.

"Everyone, keep an eye on your own area. If the fire spreads, put it out immediately!"

Carrying four bamboo tubes filled with water on her back, Xiang Wanying spoke to the three girls around her who were also carrying water.

"Of course, if a wildfire really spreads, the first thing we have to do is to escape down the mountain!"

"Ok!"

Anya nodded vigorously and checked again to see if there was any leakage in the bamboo tube behind her.

"I see!"

Su Yan tied the hem of her pink pajamas, ready to escape.

"Ok."

Lan Yueting answered, and because of her big breasts, she had trouble running with balance, so she followed Su Yan's example and tied up the hem of her white pajamas so that she could run away easily if something unexpected happened.

Xiang Wanying's principle of doing things is to imagine the worst consequences before doing anything, so the burning of the wasteland, which could have started after a nap, was delayed by her until dusk.

All the supplies that have been moved to the mountainside, such as dried pork, sheepskin bags, metal sheets and the like, have been packed with curtain cloth and placed in four portions on the bamboo path next to it.

The pile of firewood, which was easily ignited, was moved more than ten meters away. It was covered with a pile of freshly picked large green leaves and a lot of water was sprinkled on the surface.

At the same time, Xiang Wanying was also prepared to call on the others to take the things and escape together if the situation got bad.

As for how this wildfire will burn once it spreads, that is not something she can control...

However, with a half-meter wide waterway as a safety measure, Xiang Wanying was not really worried about any accidents.

At this moment, everything was ready, except for setting the fire. After looking at each other, the four of them walked to the fire, picked up the torches that had been prepared in advance, and lit them.

"I'll count to one, two, three, and then everyone start lighting the fire!" Standing on the east side, Xiang Wanying shouted, "One, two, three!"

After saying that, she put the torch in her hand on a pile of hay. Although the flame did not spread instantly, the speed was definitely not slow.

In just a dozen minutes, the flames burning from four directions merged together.

Furthermore, the smoke that was originally scattered all turned into flames at this moment. The fire reached its peak in an instant, and the heat wave even made the air above appear to be distorted.

However, after the fire maintained its peak for about a few minutes, it began to quickly fade away. As the outermost layer of dry grass and branches around it were burned out, they also turned into red charcoal or embers.

When the red color of the charcoal diminished, a layer of white ash began to adhere to the surface, and gradually smoke continued to emerge, spreading in all directions.

The embers also quickly turned black and emitted green smoke.

The choking smoke and overwhelming heat when the fire started caused the four girls who had intended to act as temporary firefighters to retreat several meters early.

Xiang Wanying, who was standing on the east side, looked worriedly at the bamboo house in front of her. Although there was a half-meter-wide fire trough in front of it and water had been sprinkled on the outside of the bamboo house in advance, and the nearest burning point was about five meters away.

But the fire caused by the burning of the wasteland really caught Xiang Wanying off guard. She took a bamboo tube in her hand, ready to pour water into the bamboo house to put out the fire at any time.

Xiang Wanying was extremely anxious at the moment. She originally thought that only the tree roots and bamboo roots located in the key burning areas would burn very strongly.

The grass in other places will turn directly into ash after burning, and then cool down quickly...

If she had known the intensity would be of this magnitude, Xiang Wanying would have dug a one-meter-wide canal in advance, but her worries soon dissipated.

As the hay on all sides was burned, the smoke gradually became smaller.

And Xiang Wanying could clearly feel that the heat coming towards her had become much smaller.

The tree roots and bamboo roots, which were given special attention, were still burning fiercely.

Just as she was wondering how long it would take to get in, she suddenly heard a loud shout of "scalding" from the side.

"It's so hot..."

Anya wiggled her fingers and jumped around wildly on the spot.

Just now, she just touched the accumulated water in the "fireproof pool" on the ground with her fingertips to test the temperature, and then she was burned like this.

Although there was no clear means of measurement, Anya initially felt that the water was at least 80 or 90 degrees.

Otherwise, the moment your fingertips are immersed in the water, you won't feel the coolness, followed by a stinging burning sensation.

"Anya, what's wrong with you!"

Seeing Anya shaking her hands and shouting that it was hot, Xiang Wanying thought that she was burned by the fire. She hurried over, opened the bamboo tube in her hand, and then rinsed the burned part of Anya with cold water.

And he asked the other person why he was burned.

Chapter 394: The Pitch-Black Gun (Monthly Ticket Rewards for Extra Chapter 5)

Fortunately, Anya was bored.

But when it comes to testing one's own body, he is very cautious.

Not only did he use his little finger as a test, he only extended the tip of his finger.

And if you feel the situation is not right, pull back immediately.

So after being rinsed with cold water, she gradually stopped crying out in pain.

After rubbing her recovered little finger lightly on her palm for a few times to confirm that there was no problem, Anya explained to Xiang Wanying who was beside her with a concerned look on her face: "I just wanted to test whether the water would become very hot..."

After hearing her words, Xiang Wanying, Su Yan and Lan Yueting, who had just breathed a sigh of relief because her injuries were not a problem, suddenly felt helpless.

This guy has such a big heart...

After confirming that there was no problem with Anya's burn area.

Xiang Wanying also no longer had the bold idea of ​​walking over to the bamboo house to check the temperature.

Obediently returning to the east, she continued to observe the burning of the flames carefully.

Because the weather was quite hot, the hay and firewood laid by everyone were completely dry.

Therefore, the smoke and fire did not last too long. After the surrounding grass ash and charcoal turned completely white, no more smoke came out, leaving only a burning smell.

Time passed minute by minute, and soon the sky outside began to turn dark black, and the flames in the open space gradually became smaller.

Although several of the areas that were given special attention were still burning, they were only minor burns.

This is a situation where red charcoal and white ashes coexist. As there is no wind at present, there is no need to worry about the possibility of forest fires.

He silently looked at the scene inside which could definitely be called a fire scene.

Su Yan said in a joking tone: "Under the current situation, do we have to stay outside tonight?"

"Probably not." He shook his head slightly and said to Wanying, "Based on the current situation, we should be able to go to the bamboo house to sleep and rest before it gets completely dark."

After saying that, she picked up the wooden stick beside her and began to poke the ashes at the edge that had turned into white chips.

This is the final step in burning the area, clearing the area clean.

After all, everyone set the fire so that they could live safely later.

So cleaning the area is also an important step.

The reason why we don't choose to clean up after the fire is completely extinguished is to increase safety.

After the ashes in these places on the edge are swept away, there will still be some tiny sparks underneath.

What Xiang Wanying has to do now is to get rid of all these sparks.

After seeing her actions, the other three girls followed suit and joined in the spark-lighting work.

After working for a while, Su Yan quickly came up with an efficient way to make a broom by tying a bundle of thin branches together.

Ten seconds later, her broom began to smoke from the embers...

After a few seconds, Su Yan, holding the torch, thought of putting the broom into the "fire ditch" next to it to put out the fire, and then dipped it in water to sweep the floor.

Soon other girls began to follow suit, and the cleaning efficiency of the entire shelter's "homestead" began to increase dramatically.

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

Looking outside, it was gradually getting dark.

Qin Ruoshuang, who was stewing fresh rabbit soup in the cave, began to worry.

The first thing I was worried about was why Xiang Lingying, who should have come back in the evening, hadn't come back yet.

The second concern was how one person could eat three whole rabbits.

Probably because I hadn't seen the noose for a long time, I had forgotten that it was dangerous. Yesterday, Qin Ruoyan finished the preliminary tidying up of the grassland and started setting the noose again.

Qin Ruoshuang harvested eight rabbits early this morning.

All of them survived, and when she picked them up, they kept chewing the weeds around them with their three-lobed mouths, as if they were planning to eat the last meal of their lives.

Qin Ruoshuang had overcome the psychological barriers long ago, so she killed all eight of them very efficiently.

She also completed the process of skinning, removing meat and cutting internal organs quite skillfully.

Considering that they couldn't finish eating it, Qin Ruoshuang set up a drying rack in the cave again.

She planned to dry five of them and eat three of them with Xiang Lingying.

As a result, by the evening, Qin Ruoshuang had not yet found her companions who were waiting to eat rabbit meat with her.

Three rabbits!

I can’t finish it, I can’t finish it at all!

Picking up two full skewers of offal, she began to roast them beside the fire.

Before roasting, Qin Ruoshuang did not forget to use two branches to pick out the pistol wrapped in melted foam from the fire.

She suddenly remembered this and found it from a pile of burning garbage. After realizing that it was impossible to clean it up manually, Qin Ruoshuang decided to burn it.

See if you can burn off the pitch-black foam burn marks on it.

But now, looking at the still pitch black area above, she also realized that she might have thought too much...

With a slight sigh, the feeling of loneliness during the night suddenly made Qin Ruoshuang feel all kinds of fear in her heart.

Although it was the worst time of the year outside, with the sun setting and the moon just appearing.

It was almost pitch black and I couldn't see anything.

But when she occasionally looked up, she could "see" all kinds of horrible monsters she knew in the darkness.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Ruoshuang tried to comfort herself in her heart.

Xiang Lingying probably left late this morning, so when he returned, he saw that it was getting dark, so he simply planned to spend the night at the foot of the mountain...

But even if she tried hard to imagine the best situation in her mind, she would occasionally think of what Zhang Liu had said before:

Rabbits can't do family planning!

They have managed to keep the grasslands from being completely eaten up until now.

This means that there must be predators constantly hunting them.

Or there will be a mass death-attack at a fixed time.

We haven't seen any wolves on the grassland yet.

There are two possible scenarios.

One possibility is that the wolves chose the time when we were not around to hunt rabbits. After all, to wolves, humans are large creatures and they will not provoke them easily.

The other is the rainy season unique to the tropics, when the grassland will be soaked in water and rabbits will die in large numbers, with their corpses providing nutrients for the grassland.

At this moment, Qin Ruoshuang began to worry whether Xiang Lingying would be unlucky enough to encounter a pack of wolves alone...

Taking a deep breath, she prepared to wait a little longer.

But if Xiang Lingying doesn't come back by noon tomorrow, then I will have to go against my sister's advice and set out alone to the Green Pool to look for her!

Thinking of this, Qin Ruoshuang stuffed a mouthful of roasted rabbit innards into her mouth.
