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

Soon, the ground was littered with broken black banana leaves.

After taking out a bottle of mineral water and taking a sip to wash away the bitter taste on the tip of his tongue, Zhang Liu had to admit one thing...

The fruits of this entire banana tree cannot be eaten!

Zhang Liu broke open each banana leaf and checked it.

Without exception.

Inside is grayish-white flesh that looks like rotten cotton wool and black seeds that look like pebbles.

Even though he was stubborn, he managed to put the tip of his tongue inside the last one and licked a little to taste it.

It was also bland and astringent, just like eating an unripe persimmon.

Maybe there was no human intervention.

Zhang Liu sighed helplessly and shook his head, feeling quite depressed.

I thought I could eat sweet bananas but they turned out to be plantains.

In the end, the bananas looked just like the ones Lao Ba had planted himself...

However, in the spirit of not wasting, Zhang Liu began to burn the trunks of the banana trees as described in the wilderness survival video.

It is said that there is an ancient tradition in Africa of using the core of banana trees as fresh water.

Use the front end of the sharp bone bayonet to cut a slit in the bark, then pull it open with force to reveal layers of material inside.

At this moment, he felt a bit like the joy he had when he came back from visiting his parents' graves during the Qingming Festival, stole several bamboo shoots from the roadside and took them home to stir-fry them.

At that time, it was also layered.

Soon, the inner core of the entire banana tree appeared in front of Zhang Liu.

It is as thick as sugarcane and looks tender, white and soft.

Looks like it tastes good?

He grabbed a piece and broke it off, then put it in his mouth and bit it hard. The last bit of good impression Zhang Liu had for the banana tree was gone.

This thing doesn't taste as soft and juicy as it looks.

Instead, it was like the sugarcane residue that had already been chewed to extract the first sip of juice, and he had to chew it several times before he could barely get the juice.

And the taste is bland and astringent, not delicious at all!

Appearances are so deceiving!

At the same time, due to time constraints, I did not think about it in advance.

Zhang Liu had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​digging a hole in the "banana tree stump" on the ground and waiting for it to automatically absorb moisture from the soil.

He then cut the core of the banana tree into pieces of appropriate length, then pulled out a longer grass root from the ground, tied it up, put it on his back and continued on his way.

Although there is not much juice, it is still okay to use it as a temporary source of water to quench your thirst on the road.

Chapter 66: Men and women “running in both directions”

Walking with big strides at the junction of sea sand and soil, Zhang Liu reached out and pulled out a banana tree core from behind, then bit it hard in his mouth and chewed it hard.

Although eating it this way would not make the banana core in his mouth more juicy.

But it will give Zhang Liu a feeling that he is a ruthless person who can find joy in suffering.

As the road progressed, he had come to a relatively open area, where the land was severely desertified.

So basically, there is sand that will leave a footprint when you step on it, and the whitened soil is further inside.

The sun has already reached overhead.

This is not a good time to travel...

He reached out and peeled off the black T-shirt that was completely wet with sweat and stuck to his body, allowing the heat from his chest to escape.

Licking his lips, Zhang Liu began to feel a little tired and the temperature outside was a little too hot.

He knew that what he should do now was to have a good rest instead of blindly speeding up his pace.

Zhang Liu quickly ran to an unknown broad-leaved tree. After confirming that there were no dangerous snakes or insects nearby, he sat down in the shade of the tree to rest.

While eating the lamb butt, Zhang Liu looked up at the sky where there were obviously too many clouds around the sun, and he began to feel worried.

I don’t think it will rain.

It is said that rain at the seaside is likely to be a storm...

On the other side of the cave, Qin Ruoshuang and Anya also finished their map-opening plan for the whole morning, and then returned together at noon.

The two men walked in the direction of a pit more than one meter deep.

So when Anya came back, she had a thick bundle of hay in her hand, ready to make a mattress for her bed.

Qin Ruoshuang was hugging a bundle of firewood against her chest. Near the pit was a small forest on the hillside where Qin Ruoshuang often went.

Although it is called a grove, there are many dead trees in it.

Zhang Liu used a lot of firewood to roast the lamb leg yesterday, so it really needs some replenishment.

"Hmm... It's so boring today!" Because there were only girls here, her actions were much bolder. She reached out and pulled out her black underwear from her red sportswear. Anya placed it on the newly laid straw mat.

Then he waved his palms vigorously beside his cheeks.

"Yeah, it's a bit stuffy indeed." Qin Ruoshuang replied while processing the sheep spine.

The method is a bit simple and crude.

She simply picked up the stone and hit it on the hard bone. After the bone broke, she picked it up, washed it briefly, put it into the giant clam shell, and boiled it with the shellfish.

It can be considered a disguised form of fish and mutton soup.

After all this busy work, Qin Ruoshuang was so tired that she was sweating profusely and gasping for breath.

"In the afternoon, let's go to the beach to take a shower, otherwise we'll be covered in sweat tomorrow." Anya raised her arm, put it under her nose and smelled it, revealing an expression of strong disgust.

"Well, it's better to take a bath." Qin Ruoshuang nodded, indicating that she agreed with Anya's suggestion of taking a bath. Then she stood up and walked to the place where Zhang Liu drew the date, and used charcoal to draw a horizontal line at the bottom of the word "正".

This marks the arrival of the fifth day.

Then Qin Ruoshuang stared at the word "正" in front of her and said, "It would be nice if there was a place to take a bath."

In the past, she lived a comfortable life at home. Whenever she wanted to take a bath, she could ask the maid to fill the bathtub with hot spring water!

Now that I'm here, I have to take off my underwear and use a sponge pad to wipe my lower body.

It would be fine if she didn't want to think about it, but now that she thinks about it, the huge gap between the past and the present makes Qin Ruoshuang feel particularly uncomfortable.

"In fact, I think the idea of ​​taking a bath in a pit that you mentioned last time is still very promising." Anya walked to Qin Ruoshuang, touched the bottom stroke of the word "正" with her finger, and then said while rolling the charcoal debris on her finger: "How about changing the plan this afternoon? I'll go pick the egg yolk fruit, and you'll be responsible for cleaning the pit?"

"But we have already told Zhang Liu that we will go to check out the resources nearby in the next two days. As a result, he just left for half a day and we went to deal with the bathing pool issue..." Qin Ruoshuang lowered her head, her tone very embarrassed.

"Let Zhang Liu soak in it for a while later!" Gently blowing away the debris on her fingertips, Anya swung her hands and did a one-arm spin, then said in a very confident tone, "At worst, I can rub his back as an apology!"

"Rubbing my back to apologize..." Qin Ruoshuang's expression was a little strange.

As a Chinese, she still can't understand why the Japanese are so persistent in rubbing their backs.

At this moment, Anya in front of him even used it as an apology...

Logically speaking, shouldn't this behavior be considered shameful?

"Okay! I'll rub it for you later!" Anya nodded vigorously at Qin Ruoshuang.

The latter was speechless, but she was successfully persuaded by Anya.

The suggestion of taking a bath is so tempting!

So let's go to the pit in the afternoon and try to clean out the stones and ashes inside.

Qin Ruoshuang remembered that Zhang Liu seemed to have said before that the wood ashes might be useful, so she began to think about where it would be safer to put the wood ashes.

At the same time, Qin Ruoshuang's sister Qin Ruoyan was resting under the shade of a tree.

Compared to Zhang Liu, who set out on the journey with sufficient resource reserves, he could sit under the shade of a tree, eat and drink his fill, and then have a good rest.

Her situation was rather difficult. Qin Ruoyan could only use her tongue to lick her already cracked lips to moisten them.

But there was not much saliva on her tongue, so she had to skillfully bite the front of her tongue to squeeze the salivary glands that were almost dried up.

For Qin Ruoyan, this time she left her companions in distress without saying goodbye just because she saw the column of smoke, and went out alone to look for possible rescue. This was truly an impulsive and life-threatening behavior.

But she also knew that it was not a good idea for her and Gu Qingrou to continue wasting time there.

Wait until all the edible mushrooms and wild fruits are eaten, and all the banana trees that serve as a source of fresh water are cut down.

Their fate is death, or being forced to find a new place and encounter possible wolf packs.

If that's the case, you might as well give it a try yourself!

Grab a handful of large-leaf ferns nearby and rub them hard to squeeze out some of the dark green juice.

Qin Ruoyan licked the salty and bitter grass juice on her fingers while forcing herself to calm down.

She decided to wait until the sun wasn't so strong and then continue on her way.

Completely different from her sister Qin Ruoshuang, who once falls into a pessimistic situation will start looking for support to regain courage, Qin Ruoyan's character is full of fighting spirit.

Even though she is in the current situation of food and water shortage, she will still try hard to think about what she should do and what she can do.

However, at this moment, the straight-line distance between Qin Ruoyan and Zhang Liu was less than three kilometers.

Chapter 67: Girls suck with their mouths

The seaside jungle not only brings people a stuffy feeling, but also a strong sense of irritability.

As long as you hold a broad leaf and dance vigorously, you can successfully drive away all the insects that are chirping near your ears.

However, as soon as you stop flapping, the insects will immediately come back.

Zhang Liu continued this process for more than ten times before finally giving up struggling and sighing helplessly.

He originally wanted to have a good sleep and rest, but now he was being annoyed by these insects.

The cave by the sea is better, there are no bugs or anything like that.

Since no plane wreckage has been seen yet, Zhang Liu has been very frugal with his food, and has only consumed a piece of lamb butt and half a bottle of water.

The banana core he was carrying behind him had been eaten up by him as if it were sugarcane.

You know what, it tastes pretty good once you get used to it.

At least it tastes better than the banana fruit that seems to be Lao Ba’s secret recipe.

He took two deep breaths, feeling his "energy bar" recovering.

Zhang Liu looked at the circle of sunlight that was gradually disappearing outside the shade of the trees, and his expression gradually became serious and solemn.

And slowly stood up from the shade of the tree.

Starting from the fact that the sunlight was completely blocked by clouds in the afternoon, Zhang Liu finally confirmed his previous worries.

In this situation, it is no longer a possibility of rain, but a 100% certainty of rain.

According to the description in that book of wilderness knowledge, this rain is likely to be heavy rain.

So there are only two options at present.

One is to go directly to the wreckage of the plane.

According to Anya's description, the wreckage of the plane was a hollow place with a lid on top.

It was most likely the part of the airplane's kitchen that she had snuck into before the accident.

Zhang Liu is not sure what is in the kitchen.

But he could be sure of one thing from Anya's information.

That is, you can rely on its hollow nature to hide inside and survive the possible storm.

Another solution is to find a way to build a shelter from the rain.

Zhang Liu had no relevant construction experience and could only refer to some English wilderness survival videos he had watched.

But in short, you must not expose your body to the rain, otherwise it is easy to suffer from hypothermia, and then catch a cold, which is a terrible thing.
