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

PS·Bamboo raft drawing.


The shipbuilding site Zhang Liu selected was just below the bamboo forest, on the side of the river.

If we build it here, it will be more convenient to launch it later.

This will avoid the embarrassing situation of completing the construction but being unable to launch it into the water.

He still remembers clearly the scene in Robinson Crusoe where the protagonist built a canoe but couldn't drive it on the road.

What Zhang Liu is thinking about right now is the way to connect.

At first, he planned to use the unique striking function of the fire hammer and a knife to make holes in the bamboo, and then poke a slender bamboo about one and a half meters long into it as a horizontal support.

But after testing, Zhang Liu finally gave up this method.

Because instead of carefully making holes in the bamboo without damaging the main body of the bamboo, it is better to tie it directly on the horizontal slender bamboo.

Although the latter may lack the sturdiness of the bamboo raft, he originally only needed a temporary raft to ensure his safe arrival at the other side.

As the sky gradually turned dark.

Compared to Zhou Fang and others who had already finished testing the raft and were lying next to the campfire to rest.

Zhang Liu is currently at the stage of building a fire next to the bamboo raft construction site and then continuing to tie up the bamboo.

After a while, he felt that his waist muscles were extremely sore and he stood up straight and took a deep breath.

Feeling the hunger in his stomach, he regretted very much that he had not set up the bamboo raft in advance.

Because the bundling work becomes more troublesome the later it is.

In order to ensure that the binding point is tight and reliable, Zhang Liu needs to lift it up and then wrap the rope around it.

There are only a few bamboos in the early stage, so it is easier to lift them.

But later on, in order to make a slight arc, he even had to lift the entire bamboo raft.

Although bamboo is hollow, it can't withstand too many of them.

However, before the last bit of his strength was exhausted, Zhang Liu finally completed the bamboo raft.

Turning his head to look at the simple shelter about five meters away from the bamboo raft, he suddenly felt that he could use the bamboo raft as a bed?

"Gurgle..." Just as Zhang Liu was standing by the river and thinking about random things, the sound from his stomach made him give up his messy thoughts. He then began to use the bamboo at hand to prop up the pot stand and start cooking.

The biggest advantage of camping by the river is that there is always plenty of water.

Holding the sheepskin bag and walking to the river to fetch water, Zhang Liu looked up at the dark sky.

He was very glad that the rain stopped early today.

It started raining at noon and ended around the afternoon.

If the rain continues, I won't be able to build a fire by the river and stay up late to build the bamboo raft.

The river looked a little yellow and dark during the day, so Zhang Liu didn't dare to drink it directly.

He poured drinking water into the alloy pot and started to boil it. Then, feeling somewhat bored, he began to count the resources on hand.

The book basket still contains the sheepskin bags on the first layer, curtain cloth on the second layer, and alloy pots on the third layer.

If we were to say what consumes the most energy, it would be the ropes placed on the second floor.

In order to build the bamboo raft, the rope that was originally at least a hundred meters long is now only half left.

Zhang Liu didn't care much about this.

If I have the chance, I can just talk about it in the jungle and add some more.

Chapter 37: A man must know how to know the times

The results of the inventory of the supplies in the schoolbag.

First of all, there are only fourteen meat floss buns in the first layer.

Although Zhang Liu was calculating numbers in his mind, there was still a difference between calculating in his mind and actually seeing them.

Looking at the fourteen paper bags, he felt a little pressure.

Based on the consumption of two per day, these will be enough to sustain me for another seven days at most.

Even after passing through the jungle now, outside is the big reef where Gu Qingrou and I spent the night. It will take three days to reach the mountainside where everyone is now.

In other words, we must get out of the jungle within four days!

Otherwise there will be a risk of running out of food.

He shook his head vigorously to suppress the sudden panic in his heart.

Then Zhang Liu began to check other things.

There were originally seven candles, but now there are only five left.

Four to be exact.

Because the fifth candle will be used directly when it is lit tomorrow.

There is nothing else to say.

If you really want to count, only the elderly need to be consumed a lot.

But he has already shaved a lot of bamboo shavings as a supplement.

Zhang Liu conducted a fire-making test.

Although bamboo shavings are more difficult to ignite than old man's whiskers, the difference is not that big.

As a "substitute", it is quite qualified.

Sighing slightly, he sat in the shelter of the curtains, feeling a little melancholy.

But Zhang Liu still stood up and took the meat floss soup that had been stewed earlier off the campfire and placed it aside to cool.

Then pour in river water again and start to boil it. There is so much water now, so it is necessary to soak your feet before going to bed.

Looking at the river flowing silently in the darkness before him, he felt an indescribable loneliness in his heart.

Including today, Zhang Liu has been separated from his companions for six days.

The feeling of loneliness was extremely tormenting to him.

I can't remember the last time I spoke.

In order to kill time and get over this inexplicable feeling of loneliness, Zhang Liu simply opened his notebook and began to draw in detail the various landmarks he had passed along the way according to the impressions in his mind.

For example, the eight banyan trees with their own tree holes, or the coffee trees...

After drawing, the broth has reached the appropriate temperature.

He picked it up and put it into his mouth as if he had completed a task, then increased the fire. He then lay down silently and closed his eyes.

But after lying down and sleeping for a while, Zhang Liu looked over his head and saw that there was only a curtain covering his head, and he suddenly felt uneasy.

You know, I used to specifically look for trees to put up curtains.

Nowadays, there is no "first layer of rain protection", so if it rains in the middle of the night, won't the backpack placed in the tent as a pillow be directly affected?

Thinking of this, he stood up and put his schoolbag in the second empty space of the book basket.

Originally, there were two pieces of curtain cloth here, but now it's empty.

Just like that, the sixty-seventh day on the deserted island passed quietly.

The next day, the sky was still dark when a heavy rain poured down from the sky.

Although it has not yet reached the level of a rainstorm, the curtains without the protection of the tree canopy cannot withstand this medium to large level of "hydraulic tilt".

It was raining heavily outside and moderately inside, but Zhang Liu woke up quickly.

Then he clearly felt the coolness coming from under his buttocks.

This is because the riverside is a natural low-lying area.

Whenever there is water accumulation, it will naturally flow along the river.

The coolness under his butt was all the rain water flowing and gathering into the river.

Without moving, Zhang Liu just sat up straight in silence.

For now, the best option for him is to hide in the shelter of curtains where it has been raining moderately.

Because going out with a basket of books on your back can certainly provide some protection for your upper body.

However, the sky was now extremely dark and the fire outside had long been extinguished, so visibility was barely enough to see one's fingers.

The consequence of going out in the rain carrying a basket of books is to stand in the rain like a fool waiting for dawn.

Squinting his eyes, feeling the water seeping into almost every pore above his head, Zhang Liu kept counting numbers in his mind to calculate the time.

He didn't believe that this dark night would last forever!

It was definitely midnight when I went to bed. Even if it started raining just as I fell asleep, it would still take at most six hours for dawn.

One hour and sixty minutes, one minute and sixty seconds.

At most, I can count one number per second, and count to 21,600!

Zhang Liu draped the wet curtain cloth on the ground over himself as a thermal insulation layer and did nothing else but count silently.

"one two three four……"

For him, this faint but steady sound is his stubbornness against nature.

Zhang Liu did not count to 20,000, but stopped at 7,167.

Because although it was still raining, the sky was already bright and dim, visible to the naked eye from a dozen meters away.

He stood up, wrapped himself in the curtains and walked outside, then took a deep breath of the extremely humid air.

He bathed in the endless rain, and then silently looked at the other side of the river which was already clearly visible.

Seven thousand one hundred and sixty-seven, which is almost two hours!

These two hours were very painful for Zhang Liu at the moment.

But it was also a test, and at this moment his heart was extremely strong.

Raising his palm, Zhang Liu pointed his middle finger towards the sky, which expressed his greatest contempt for the predicament given by God.

Then Zhang Liu began to pack up his things and planned to escape on a bamboo raft.

He could clearly see that the woods in front of the river were in the canopy layer, so if he hid inside, he wouldn't get wet much.

Turning his head and looking behind him, Zhang Liu felt a little helpless.

He knew that the biggest reason for encountering this misfortune was that he had thought too well before, thinking that it would not rain in the morning but only in the afternoon.

If I had known this earlier, I would have built a shelter under the tree canopy about 300 meters behind me.

When Zhou Fang and others finished breakfast, they began to test the raft in the rain at the beach.

Zhang Liu was also soaking wet as he put away the curtains that were soaked with water.

At this moment, he was just glad that he had been careful before going to bed yesterday and put the schoolbag, which needed to be kept dry the most, in the school basket.

With the book basket on my back, the rain that had been continuously hitting my head was immediately blocked.

He stood up and walked to the river, looking at the bamboo raft that was half submerged in water.

While Zhang Liu was surprised at the speed of the rising water level, he also subconsciously looked down at the mudflat where he was standing.

He suddenly understood why there was no grass growing in this large area along the river.

I guess as the rainy season continues, the river will get wider and submerge up to my feet, right?

As for its specific function, it is estimated that it will continue to provide water to the rainforest of the entire island when the dry season comes.

Chapter 38 The boy meets the beast again.

Standing on the shore, Zhang Liu pushed the bamboo raft into the water again.

After putting it in a state where it was "about to be pushed by the water but still stuck to the shore", he stopped pushing.
