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

It basically meets simple overnight needs and support requirements.

Calculate the time.

She estimated that if nothing unexpected happened, the two sisters Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang would be here tonight or tomorrow morning.

In order to prevent the sisters from encountering the "no fire and no light" situation that they and the eldest daughter had encountered.

Xiang Wanying planned to bring the resources to the transit bamboo house in the goat jungle, so as to play a role of "connecting the past and the future".

It was not until this moment that she understood why Zhang Liu took the initiative to spend time building the bamboo house.

This bamboo house is a nearly perfect stopover for both those who are pioneering in the forest and those who are coming down the mountain to hunt.

Although it only takes half a day to climb up the mountain from the foot of the mountain when the weather is clearest.

But for people coming out of the forest, this half day will be magnified infinitely.

Xiang Wanying and Xiang Lingying had also suffered the same loss before.

The transit bamboo house can provide a place to rest.

"Zhao Yiran, Song Shuyao, I'm leaving my eldest daughter in your care." Tightening the book basket on her back, Xiang Wanying turned to the two girls behind her and gave them some instructions.

Then she walked into the rain.

The rain has lasted for two days and three nights.

This is also the longest rain that everyone has ever seen.

And the worst thing about it is that it not only lasts a long time, but the rain is so heavy.

It has been raining heavily since the beginning until now.

Under such circumstances, the "rainwater bearing capacity" of the entire mountain range has almost reached its limit.

At present, except for the places covered by bamboo roofs, the mountain is muddy.

Thanks to Zhang Liu in the taro field, who had asked everyone to raise the area where taro was planted in advance.

At this moment, these high places are like drainage ditches in the fields, draining the rainwater accumulated in the taro fields far below.

Walking out of the corridor and standing on the muddy ground, Xiang Wanying stepped down. The shoes made of a mixture of rabbit skin and palm tree bark sank in half, making a "pop" sound.

She looked down at her feet which were already stuck in the mud. She didn't say much, but just silently quickened her pace.

Behind Xiang Wanying were Song Shuyao and Zhao Yiran, both of whom had admiring looks on their faces.

As for Xiang Lingying, she was still taking a nap in bamboo house No. 2.

The two of them came out to see them off after hearing Xiang Wanying's noise.

When Xiang Wanying walked near the bamboo forest, she unexpectedly encountered a little leopard who was frantically swallowing the bamboo rat entrails in his mouth because he saw her.

Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang had already reached the ridge where they could see the goat jungle from afar.

After looking at each other, the two sisters quickened their pace.

The problem they are facing at this moment is very similar to that of Xiang Wanying and Xiang Lingying.

That's the "right time"

You can reach the foot of the mountain.

But if you want to go up the mountain, it will be dark.

But for now.

After saying goodbye to the little leopard and going down the mountain alone to the transit bamboo house, Xiang Wanying had already started to solve this problem for Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang in advance.

I opened the door of the transit bamboo house and felt the damp, cold and moldy smell inside.

The head maid of the Xiang family couldn't help but frown slightly.

The smell that fills my nose is really not very pleasant...

Considering the recent rain, the wind is not strong.

In order to get rid of the musty smell as soon as possible, she simply removed the hanging door of the bamboo house.

There was no food or fresh water stored in the transit bamboo house.

But the firewood reserves are indeed sufficient. Whether it is Zhang Liu or any other girl, as long as they stay overnight here, they will subconsciously replenish the firewood reserves.

Near the door, there were three small bowls and two earthenware jars on a bamboo bed that served as a table.

This was left behind when Zhang Liu, Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang were reclaiming the bamboo house here.

After removing the hanging door, Xiang Wanying breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she placed a clay pot outside with the idea that "every bit of rain water could be collected would be helpful."

As for the other earthenware jar, he simply used part of the six liters of fresh water in his book basket to clean it.

"Da da da da da da..."

After cleaning, Xiang Wanying struck the flint to make a fire, then she placed a clay pot, which was essentially the same diameter as a small clay basin, on the earthen stove and began to boil water.

As the head maid of the Xiang family, handling these tasks is a piece of cake for her.

After finishing her work and sitting next to the fire, Xiang Wanying did not quickly proceed to the next step of cleaning.

Looking at the earthenware jar from which white mist was slowly emitting, she began to arrange her work for tonight and tomorrow in her mind.

This is a habit Xiang Wanying developed as a maid.

Without considering major events, schedule two days' work in one day.

Her priority was the situation at the mountainside shelter.

At present, there is no shortage of food in the mountainside shelter. Taro and other things can last for two days. The same goes for fresh water and firewood.

So when it comes to work, you can prioritize food over considerations.

Given the situation in the pigpen, bricks are still a higher priority.

However, the test results of the bricks have not come out yet. If we go to make bricks again, it will obviously be a waste of resources...

Therefore, the mountainside shelter remains unchanged, and you can consider going up the mountain to collect taro.

After considering the shelter on the mountainside, Xiang Wanying began to make arrangements for the transit bamboo house.

In her opinion, the first thing to do is to welcome Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang who might arrive in the next second.

If they hadn't come.

Then it can be divided into two situations.

The first situation is that they may come at this time tomorrow morning. The two sisters are relatively slow, so the response is to wait.

The second situation is that you get lost directly...

"Tsk..."

Xiang Wanying was slightly shocked by the idea she had considered.

But then she continued to finalize the plan.

If he doesn't come back, I will go to the goat jungle tomorrow morning to check the traps. If there is no harvest, I will go back up the mountain directly.

But leave the fresh water reserves in the transit bamboo house.

If Qin Ruoyan, Qin Ruoshuang or the others didn't come back the day after tomorrow, he would have to go to the forest alone to see what was going on...

When Xiang Wanying finished arranging the work for today and tomorrow, the sky outside gradually darkened.

Just as she cut the taro into pieces and put them into the earthen stove, preparing to roast a few pieces for herself to fill her stomach.

Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang, who were jogging over because they saw a fire inside the bamboo house, appeared at the door of the transit bamboo house.

Chapter 273: The Scenes Are Too Restrictive

"Sister Wanying..."

Standing at the door of the bamboo house, Qin Ruoyan, who was already exhausted, whispered to the Xiang family's head maid who was cutting taro with her head down.

Beside her was Qin Ruoshuang, whose legs had become weak from walking...

Compared to her older sister, this younger sister has a book basket full of tree bark behind her.

This thing is really heavy!

Qin Ruoshuang felt as if she was carrying a wooden stump.

"You are here!"

Seeing the two sisters, Xiang Wanying, who had already secretly prepared for the worst, suddenly became extremely happy.

He took the initiative to step forward and take the book basket for Qin Ruoshuang.

As soon as she felt the weight on her wrist, she immediately showed a very surprised expression.

"What's here?"

Xiang Wanying leaned over to take a look at the book basket full of tree bark, then she asked.

"The bark of the cinchona tree can effectively prevent malaria." After looking at her sister for a long time and confirming that she was fine, Qin Ruoyan spoke to Xiang Wanying.

"The bark of the cinchona tree..."

Nodding, Xiang Wanying also knew something about this almost world-famous medicinal herb.

"If we have this, we can prevent things like malaria from happening in the future. After all, there are really a lot of mosquitoes in the forest."

Speaking of this, Qin Ruoyan showed a helpless smile on her face.

During these days, if it weren't for the protection of the smoke from the fire, she suspected that she would have been sucked dry by the mosquitoes that were everywhere in the forest.

"Let's talk about this later. Come and wash your hands and eat something." Xiang Wanying's face was full of a gentle smile at this moment. Then she picked up a bamboo tube filled with fresh water and handed it to Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang so that the twin sisters could wash their hands first.

While Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang were washing their hands, Xiang Wanying dug out pieces of taro from the earthen stove and asked about her lover's situation: "Is Zhang Liu with his godmother and the others now?"

"Well, Gu Qingrou and the others should have started coming back this morning." Qin Ruoyan nodded, and after washing her hands, she took the plate with four pieces of roasted taro.

Then, while handing the plate to her sister, she answered, "Teacher Zhou and the others should start returning tomorrow."

“Hoo…Hoo…Ah!”

Standing by and watching her sister and Xiang Wanying chatting, Qin Ruoshuang picked up a piece of taro from the plate, blew on it a few times, and then put it directly into her mouth and started chewing.

The taro powder paste she has been eating these days is easy to swallow and can provide a lot of energy.

But if compared with foods like taro cubes, it is essentially less "full".

Just as Qin Ruoshuang and Qin Ruoyan were enjoying eating taro, Xiang Wanying, who was looking at them with a smile, found that the sound of raindrops that had been coming to her ears suddenly stopped.

"The rain has stopped!" She walked to the door of the bamboo house and looked at the quiet night outside and spoke.

call……

It seemed to confirm Xiang Wanying's words.

A gust of evening breeze blew slowly into the bamboo house.

Although there was a damp smell in it, there was no trace of rain.

This scene suddenly made Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang smile. They remembered the time when they and Zhang Liu were hiding from the storm here.

At the same time, Gu Qingrou and Gu Xixi, who were resting in Forest Shelter No. 2, also noticed that the rain had stopped.

After "putting aside past grudges", the chatting relationship between the master and servant has returned to its former intimacy.

"Sister Xixi, can I really marry Zhang Liu directly in the future?"

At this moment, Gu Qingrou was sleeping on Gu Xixi's soft knees and receiving a head massage, and there was a hint of disbelief in her tone.

Because what my maid said was a bit scary.

From the beginning to now.

Even though she had confessed her love to Zhang Liu yesterday and he had accepted her confession, Gu Qingrou's core idea was still to get hold of men rather than to snatch them away.

However, right now I am in the process of massaging.

However, she got a suggestion on "stealing a man" from her head maid.

This made Gu Qingrou feel a little uncomfortable, because for her, this was a topic that she "dared not even think about".
