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

So unless there was a heavy rainstorm like the one when I met Qin Ruoyan before.

Otherwise, once only a small amount of rain falls, it will directly block a large part of the rain.

Although at the moment, I still have enough fresh water, with about four liters left in my sheepskin bag, which is enough for two days of drinking.

But two days later...

Zhang Liu was very afraid that he would encounter the embarrassing situation of "it is raining, but the unlucky guy under the tree has little water to drink."

He walked along the road, shaking his head, but he couldn't get rid of the news. Finally, he had to stop to choose a place to spend the night and adjust his mentality.

Standing under a huge banyan tree, Zhang Liu quickly determined where to set up camp tonight. He then inserted an alloy tube into the ground at the edge of the tree canopy as a mark, and finally put down the book basket.

Looking up, Zhang Liu began to carefully look at the banyan tree in front of him.

The reason why he knew it was a banyan tree was because it was the same as what was described in the Chinese textbook.

"The banyan tree hangs down its long beard forever, like an old man standing quietly, as if it is whispering in this rainy day, thus burying thousands of years of the past in fantasy."

The temperament of the tree in front of him really fits Monk Zhang Liu's fantasy of banyan trees according to his textbooks.

According to the knowledge introduced in textbooks, the aerial roots hanging from the trunk of the banyan tree will turn into tree trunks when they touch the ground.

Moreover, the mother tree and its saplings spread endlessly, making it a magical tree species that can form a forest on its own.

Before the distress, he could only imagine it through words.

So Zhang Liu felt that the book's description of a banyan tree forming a forest was a bit ridiculous. How could it be so amazing that a tree could directly become a forest...

But after seeing it with his own eyes, he could only sigh that he was a real clown in front of nature...

The banyan tree in front of me is at least ten meters tall.

The tree canopy above is like a big green umbrella, and the coverage area is estimated to be nearly 30 square meters.

These two data were roughly calculated by Zhang Liu based on the alloy tube that was more than two meters long.

After marveling at the greatness of nature.

He also began to clean the places he would use for sleeping and resting tonight.

Pulling out the fire hammer from his waist, Zhang Liu grabbed the aerial roots of the banyan tree with one hand and began to chop it down with the other hand.

These things are quite resilient. He thought to himself as he tightly gripped the aerial root, which was as thick as a finger.

PS·This is Zhang Liu’s second day of exploration. The yellow represents each day’s camping spot, and one grid represents one kilometer.


Chapter 8: You will feel comfortable when something warm goes into your stomach.

Although the blade of the fire hammer in Zhang Liu's hand was only about three centimeters long, it was no problem to use it to deal with the aerial roots on the outermost part of the banyan tree that were only as thick as a little finger.

After all, no matter how luxurious it is, it is something that can be selected on this luxury private jet.

Without considering the price, this fire hammer may not be the best in the world, but its quality is definitely beyond reproach.

Anyway, I still use it now.

Those alloy fragments need to be sharpened again, but the fire hammer becomes more comfortable the more you use it.

After cutting off the upper half of the aerial roots, use force to twist the aerial root branches that are more than two meters long. The outermost aerial roots are probably just planted during the rainy season.

So he just used a little force to pull it out of the soil. The whole process was extremely simple.

In just a short while, Zhang Liu cleared out a place for himself to set up camp, and also collected a lot of firewood for making a fire.

After using an alloy knife to completely clear the fallen leaves from the fire point on the ground, he first used the aerial roots of the felled banyan trees to build a simple heat reflecting surface for himself, and then started to make a fire.

"Da da da da da da..." With the sound of the flint in his hand, a fire was quickly started by Zhang Liu.

At this moment, the sky had begun to gradually darken, and the visible range was reduced to a dangerous level of only a dozen meters even with the light of the fire.

There was no rush to boil water or eat. At this moment, Zhang Liu was looking at the small alloy pot in front of him.

It's not a good idea to always use the rolling stone method to boil water.

Low efficiency is one aspect, but on the other hand he also considered that if he couldn't find the stone one day, he would be in trouble.

So currently Zhang Liu is thinking about whether he can use the soft branches of the banyan tree to weave a "pot ring" for the small alloy pot.

In this way, he could use branches and wood found everywhere to build a quadripod and hang the alloy pot directly above the fire to burn it.

For Zhang Liu who was in the jungle, the thing he had the most was time. With this idea in mind, he easily picked out suitable soft paper strips from a pile of banyan tree aerial roots.

After first splitting it in half with a knife, Zhang Liu began to quickly weave a circular pot ring according to the size of the edge of the alloy pot.

The next step is to use fresh bark taken from the aerial roots of the banyan tree to make four ropes and put them four times on the pot ring, so that it can be tied.

The next work will be more laborious and troublesome.

Because you need to find three branches that are more than two meters long to serve as support for the triangular pot stand.

In order to ensure that they will not fall apart or tilt, the branches must first be of similar thickness, which means they must have a certain degree of durability.

With a large area of ​​aerial roots of different thicknesses around him, Zhang Liu quickly completed the task with a fire hammer.

PS: Here is the design drawing of the pot rack. The author used it when he was a child and it is very useful!


Pour some of the fresh water in the sheepskin bag into the alloy pot.

After confirming that the flame would not burn the round banyan tree pot ring, he couldn't help but smile happily as he watched the fire jumping and licking the bottom of the alloy pot.

Only you know your own mentality.

After two consecutive days of long-distance travel, Zhang Liu already felt himself beginning to feel depressed, otherwise he wouldn't have been unable to walk in the afternoon today, and even had thoughts of fear.

In order to cheer himself up, he decided to start with small things and find some fun for himself.

And now, building the pot circle is the fun that Zhang Liu found for himself.

It is also very practical. The pot ring and the rope on it can be taken to the resting point tomorrow.

As for the supporting sticks, he said he had no worries at all.

After the fresh water in the alloy pot gradually began to boil, Zhang Liu chopped up the palm core that had not been eaten yet, and then stewed it together with a piece of "honey meat floss pancake".

After a while, the broth, which was enough for half a small alloy pot, was ready.

When these two are combined, the finished product looks like curry without the smell of curry.

It can be said that the appearance and smell are not very good.

But in Zhang Liu's opinion, this thing should taste very good.

The high-sugar and high-salt honey meat floss pancakes can provide salty and sweet flavors as well as the unique aroma of meat floss and taro powder, while the palm core can add an excellent sense of fullness to this soup which should be relatively thin.

Remove the alloy pot from the fire and remove the pot ring from underneath.

What he had to do next was to wait for it to cool down before swallowing it in big gulps.

However, during this period of waiting, Zhang Liu did not allow himself any free time.

He began collecting bark from the aerial roots of a nearby banyan tree.

Zhang Liu prepared to weave the rope and then store it in the third compartment of the book basket which had quite a lot of space.

In the process of making the pot rack, he already knew the importance of rope.

Now that he has some free time, Zhang Liu will naturally accumulate as many resources as he can.

At the same time, in the bamboo house at the foot of the east mountain, Xiang Wanying, Lan Yueting and Anya were already sitting in front of the earthen stove, waiting for the boiled taro in the small clay basin to be cooked.

Today, the entire afternoon, after lunch, they were struggling with the mud in the goat jungle, which was mushy on the surface but extremely tough inside.

Several people underestimated the difficulty of digging the pit.

You have to know that when Zhang Liu and Xiang Lingying were digging the pit, they directly poured the water from the green pool into it to soften the soil, and then it took them most of the day to finish it.

Xiang Wanying and others did not have enough water resources to be so extravagant, so they could only rely on the simple method of "brick flying with great force".

But at least there are three people, so the labor force is sufficient.

Before it got dark enough to return to the shelter, they successfully completed a square pit about one meter deep and two meters long and wide.

"Tomorrow, I think we need to act separately." Xiang Wanying pointed her finger at the area near the cave and said, "Lan Yueting, you and Anya go to the cave to check on the rabbit breeding situation. I remember Qin Ruoshuang said that there is not too much water in the tank."

After arranging the work for her partners, she also talked about her own work arrangements: "As for me, I plan to go to the bamboo forest on the mountain to get some branches, and then prepare the traps. This way, when you come back tomorrow night or the morning after tomorrow, we can basically confirm whether the trap hunting was successful."

"Okay!" Nodding, Anya and Lan Yueting both showed expressions of approval.

As the taro cubes in the small clay pot were stewed until fully cooked and salt was added, they began to enjoy their dinner.

Although this kind of stewed taro is not delicious, it can quickly fill your stomach.

And after drinking the hot and salty soup into the stomach.

Regardless of whether it has meaty taste or not, it can always have an uplifting effect.

At this moment, Xiang Wanying and the others couldn't help but show a comfortable expression on their faces after drinking the hot taro soup.

Chapter 9: It feels good to wrap your feet in something warm

Xiang Wanying and others were feeling relaxed because of the hot soup.

The five girls on the mountainside, namely Qin Ruoyan, Qin Ruoshuang, Su Yan, Xiang Lingying and Gu Qingrou, were enjoying a hot foot bath at the moment.

After a whole day, the earthenware in the center of the fire has been fired.

The originally black and soft clay embryo has now turned white and gray and makes a "ding-dong" sound when knocked.

This time the firing was very successful, and there was no leakage in the two foot basins and one pig trough.

The current distribution is as follows:

Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang shared a foot basin.

Gu Qingrou and Xiang Lingying also shared a foot basin.

As for Su Yan, she lost the game of rock-paper-scissors.

For now, she can only use a longer pig trough as a footbath.

Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai, who were in the pigpen, didn't even have a bowl to eat from. They were currently stuffing the taro stems covered in dirt into their mouths.

Since they were beaten with eggs, their appetites have increased greatly. However, the two little pigs were a little disappointed because they only had the chance to eat the tasty soup three times, and then they had nothing to eat...

Everyone worked together to pour a whole alloy pot of boiling water into the foot basin and pig trough, and then added cold water to cool it down according to their own preferences.

After testing the temperature with her hand, Qin Ruoyan looked at her sister. After confirming that the temperature was okay with her, she said, "It's fine here!"

"Me too!" Xiang Lingying, Gu Qingrou and Su Yan also nodded.

"Then... let's get started?" Qin Ruoshuang's tone began to reveal strong anticipation.

Due to some strange insistence, the girls wanted to start soaking their feet at the same time.

Invisibly, they have already developed a sense of "sharing the blessings".

When you take off your shoes and socks, and then put your clean feet into hot water.

Every girl narrowed her eyes, then parted her lips slightly and gasped: "So comfortable!"

The warm water completely wrapped the soles of my feet, and it seemed that all the pores were breathing because of the long-lost soaking and moisturizing.

Originally, Su Yan felt a little unhappy because she could only use the pig trough.

But now she has already begun to secretly rejoice.

Because compared to other girls, when putting all four feet in, there will be collisions.

I can enjoy such a long foot bath all by myself!

The pig trough is awesome!

The white-haired girl secretly rejoiced in her heart, and prepared to admit defeat in the game of rock-paper-scissors tomorrow.

"Once your feet are warm, you can start massaging the soles of your feet. Everyone watch my movements later." Qin Ruoyan was the first to come back to her senses from the extremely comfortable and addictive feeling of soaking her feet in hot water.

Then she also began to teach others how to do foot massage to relax...

After a self-foot massage, the five girls were left moaning with pleasure.
