Even if there is no hypothermia, the soaked human body will be exposed to the sun and then be smoked by the heat rising from the scalding ground and the rain.

The sudden heat that alternates between inside and outside is enough to overwhelm a fragile human body.

After all, this kind of heat is not as gentle and comfortable as the heat in the sauna room in the aristocratic girls' school.

There is a high probability that you will develop some strange diseases.

Unscrewing the bottle of Nongfu Spring, Zhang Liu took several gulps of the liquid inside.

The originally half-full bottle of water was suddenly reduced to a shallow bottom.

The water, which has been heated by the sun, is not very refreshing when you drink it.

But after swallowing the fresh water with a slight salty taste of wood ash, his whole spirit was lifted.

Then I applied the coconut powder that Anya helped me crush in the morning on my face, neck, and arms. Although it was a little sour, it could be an extremely useful simple sunscreen coating.

Gritting his teeth, Zhang Liu ran directly out of the jungle and began to quicken his pace.

This side is close to the beach, so it's a bit hot, but fortunately there aren't too many weeds in front of it, so there's no need to do anything to "alert the enemy."

Be able to travel smoothly all the way.

At the same time, Qin Ruoshuang and Anya discovered that the sun in the sky was gradually covered by clouds.

"Great! The sun is gone!" Anya, who was chewing on the lamb spine, shouted happily, and then said to Qin Ruoshuang beside her: "Let's continue working after we finish eating."

"Hmm..." Looking at the changes in the sky outside, Qin Ruoshuang didn't know what was going on with her, and she felt very worried.

"Will it rain?" After thinking for a while, Qin Ruoshuang turned to Anya and said, "Looking at the weather, I feel like it might rain."

"Raining?" Anya repeated Qin Ruoshuang's words in confusion. She scratched her head, looked at the sky carefully and said, "Didn't Zhang Liu say that there will be rainy season and dry season here? Shouldn't it be the dry season now?"

"He didn't say it wouldn't rain during the dry season!" Qin Ruoshuang sighed slightly, and the sadness on her face became even more intense: "Zhang Liu didn't bring any umbrella or anything like that."

"But it's too late for us to catch up with him now. Maybe he will find a place to hide when he sees it's going to rain. Who knows." Anya scratched her head and said, "There's no point in worrying about it now."

"What you said makes sense." Qin Ruoshuang nodded slightly and began to pick the meat from the sheep spine that had already cooled down in front of her.

Compared to Anya, her eating habits are obviously much more civilized.

But I also ate a few bites less.

There are seven pieces of sheep spine. After Anya anxiously gnawed off four of them, Qin Ruoshuang had just finished eating the second one.

If she wasn’t too embarrassed to do it, Anya, who was sucking the marrow, could have even gnawed off the fifth sheep spine…

But he looked at Anya who was drooling over the bone in front of him but was too embarrassed to speak.

After Qin Ruoshuang pursed her lips slightly, she began to pick up the remaining spine and sucked it.

This sheep bone marrow is a good thing rich in fat and should not be wasted easily!

Seeing this scene, Anya sighed helplessly and began to use the giant clam shell to scoop the mutton soup in the "soup pot" and drink it.

After finishing a hearty lunch, Qin Ruoshuang and Anya started to get busy with their own things.

Anya went to the grove to pick egg yolk fruits and the jaboticaba that had ripened in the past two days.

Qin Ruoshuang went to clean the pit.

At the same time, she also made new discoveries in the pit.

Because the fire inside was extinguished yesterday.

So Qin Ruoshuang can now go directly down into the pit to clean it up.

Zhang Liu's steps for making roasted lamb legs are to first light a fire, then pile a lot of fist-sized stones on top of the flame, and when the flame is completely blocked, put the lamb legs in and cover them to stew and roast.

This also resulted in the wood underneath the rock not being fully burned.

After working hard to clear the stones, Qin Ruoshuang saw pieces of black charcoal that retained their original branch shapes.

Her eyes suddenly froze!

"Is this... raw wood charcoal?" If it was something else, Qin Ruoshuang might not be able to recognize it.

However, as she comes from a family tradition of traditional Chinese medicine, she once personally participated in a significant ritual of charcoal-roasting medicinal materials.

Therefore, I am very familiar with the uses and varieties of charcoal in common situations.

Of course, Zhang Liu got the new knowledge that Qin Ruoshuang could be used to brush teeth.

She tapped the two pieces of charcoal lightly in her hands, and the crisp sound of them clinking confirmed her guess.

This is good stuff!

Can be used to quickly start a fire.

In order to save wood, the bonfire in the cave was never extinguished, but it was only burned more vigorously at night. During the day, a few particularly thick and fire-resistant woods were used as fire storage.

Every time they wanted to make the fire bigger, the three of them would prepare a pile of small pieces of wood or dead branches and leaves as kindling.

With this log charcoal, the problem of secondary fire will be largely solved.

Chapter 68 The difference between being adequately prepared and being inadequately prepared.

Faced with such a treasure, Qin Ruoshuang no longer had the heart to get a bathtub.

She took all the charcoal out of the pit, and then carefully wrapped it with coconut leaves on the ground. She held these "treasures" tightly against her chest and walked into the cave.

At this moment, the air in the wilderness, which was originally extremely hot and humid, suddenly began to flow.

It was cooled by a breeze blowing in from the sea.

Qin Ruoshuang, who was hugging a big bag of charcoal, and Anya, who had picked jaboticaba and custard apples and had her arms full of them, felt the coolness and did not stop to savor it.

Instead, he involuntarily quickened his pace, which was clearly a sign that it was going to rain.

Although they did not realize what would happen if they got caught in the rain like Zhang Liu did.

But none of them wanted to be exposed to the possible downpour.

Zhang Liu, who was on his way, also felt the coolness.

He turned his head to look at the sea, then glanced at the thick clouds above his head. He simply hugged the sheepskin bag to his chest and started walking quickly on the beach.

His eyes would occasionally look towards the nearby woods.

Zhang Liu was already prepared to quickly find a suitable big tree to shelter from the rain if it started.

God bless……

Allah...

Amitabha……

I hope there won't be a thunderstorm soon...

Zhang Liu, who had never believed in ghosts and gods, suddenly began to pray in his heart to every god, known or unknown.

The last time I prayed was the day my mother was diagnosed with cancer.

At that time, Zhang Liuzhi opened two younger sisters, one to accompany his mother, who could only take some medicine home for "conservative treatment" due to poverty.

He was just like he was doing now, praying to every god who could possibly help him...

But unlike the last time when the prayers had no effect, this time the gods seemed to actually respond.

The rain didn't stop until Zhang Liu was so tired that he could hardly walk.

Seeing that the sky was gradually getting dark, he didn't dare to continue traveling in the dark.

After all, if there are poisonous snakes or insects on the ground at night, they are completely invisible.

Going deep into the jungle from the edge into the heart of the jungle covered with various grasses and leaves, Zhang Liu successfully picked up a large pile of palm tree leaves, and then ran out of the jungle heart which was gradually getting dark.

He prepared to build his own overnight shelter on the beach.

The cool breeze blowing right now is quite refreshing, but who knows if there will suddenly be a heavy rain warning.

Therefore, accommodation must be prepared in advance.

Zhang Liu's idea for a shelter was very simple.

Using the grass roots and branches that can be seen everywhere and the two coconut trees in front of you that are as thick as your waist, you can build a two-sided rain shelter platform that may be used.

The long grass roots played a huge role at this moment; they were very resilient and very easy to obtain.

As long as you pull hard in the yellow sand, you can at least pull out three-meter-long grass roots.

As for branches used as support for large palm leaves, they are even more common.

In just a short while, he had collected all the materials and piled them on the ground.

First, there were two branches about two meters long and as thick as arms.

It takes a lot of effort to deal with them, and you need to stand on them and pull hard to remove the extra branches.

Their purpose is to be tied to the trunks of coconut trees and used as "beams" for shelters.

As for the main beam, it is two coconut trees.

Zhang Liu was lucky, as all the coconuts from the two coconut trees fell to the ground.

He had collected them in advance and put them aside. There were six in total, all dark brown in color, and had obviously fallen to the ground some time ago.

In this way, they can not only find new food, but also avoid the unfortunate fate of having the coconut shell opened like a certain Hainan village tyrant.

In addition to the two very thick branches, there are thirty-four branches of varying lengths, as thick as fingers.

Among them, the ten short ones are about half a meter long, and the twenty-four long ones are about one to two meters long.

Zhang Liu broke these off and prepared them to serve as leaf supports.

It takes ten branches to make it firm!

First, tie five half-meter long branches vertically on the two "beams" at a 90-degree angle.

Then lay large green palm leaves directly on top and tie five half-meter-long branches to it.

In less than ten minutes, the roof of the temporary shelter was completed.

Subconsciously turning his head to look at the western sky, Zhang Liu could not see anything that could help him judge the time.

But the sky outside was already as dark as four or five o'clock in late autumn, and the sea surface in the distance was completely gray and unclear.

Visibility is estimated to be less than 100 meters.

From this point alone, he knew that he had no time to waste standing there.

Arranging the remaining twenty-four branches crosswise, Zhang Liu began to build the envisioned windbreak.

At this moment, near the cave, Anya and Qin Ruoshuang were also busy with their own things.

They happened to meet halfway before, and after briefly explaining each other's situation, the two came up with a new plan of action.

Under the current circumstances, it would be an idiotic act to travel at least half a day away from the cave to collect fruits.

What if it rains...

Therefore, Qin Ruoshuang and Anya were ready to work nearby.

If there is a possibility of rain, it is irrational to bend over in a puddle to get water. Why worry about water sources when it rains?

As for food, dried lamb pieces and smoked lamb ribs were kept at the entrance of the cave.

Not to mention the more than sixty coconuts piled up nearby, the large pile of fruits Anya had collected during the day, and the various shellfish kept in simple foam boxes.

But when it comes to fire sources, the problem of both starting a fire and maintaining a fire has not been completely solved.

So after their discussion, collecting firewood and protecting its dryness became the most important project to be done at the moment.

Anya and Qin Ruoshuang respectively proposed two suggestions: to build a shelf on the pile of wood to prevent it from getting wet in the rain and to store some of the drier and lighter ones in the cave first.

The two of them did what they said.

Qin Ruoshuang was responsible for moving the small wood into the cave, while Anya, who was relatively more mobile, ran a little further away and started picking up various dry leaves under the coconut tree.

The three of them would collect these leaves in the past, but they would always be used to start fires.

Now it is to withstand the possible rainy days.

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

On the other side, similar to Zhang Liu, Qin Ruoyan also had to stop walking because the visibility was getting worse and worse.
