One Hundred Days on an Uninhabited Island

"Is this quicklime? Doesn't this mean that the ashes have not been burnt? It doesn't feel as good as burnt ashes."

Ye Yajie twirled a piece of shell fragment that was burnt white, and looked it over and over again.

They want to store water near the camp, so they don't have to climb up and down the stream to fetch water every day.

At first, the old man wanted to dig a well, but this is a small island. Yao Yanan also said that this stream probably came down from the crater. Whether there is a water vein underground is still a problem. Even if it exists, how deep must be dug is still a question. unknown.

So, they discussed building a pool, which is three meters deep and one meter wide, and the surrounding soil should be filled with cement to prevent landslides and prevent water from overflowing.

Of course, it would be even better if water was actually dug out on the way, and there would be no need to waste bamboo to bring water here.

Although it is possible to directly mix soil with water to make mud and wipe it like making clay pots, but after thinking about it, I decided to use cement.

Lime is needed to make cement, and lime can be fired from plant ash and shells.

It's not that they didn't want to go to the foot of the volcano to see it, but it was too dangerous. After thinking about it, they decided to burn it from plant ash and shells.

After many failed experiments yesterday, plant ash finally successfully made quicklime this morning, and mixed it with the soil dug out by Lin Jianfei in water to form cement.

Yao Yanan squeezed the reconciled cement into small square stones, and wiped the rest on the hole that Lin Jianfei was still digging, waiting to dry.

As for the shells, I didn't intend to burn them at first, but thinking that I didn't throw away the shells left over from the shells I ate before, I simply burned them too.

The first two firings were either overcooked and smashed into pieces, or not completely fired, and the heat could not be dissolved in the water. After finally firing it out of the oven, it seemed feasible, but Ye Yajie hated it.

The sound of boiling became more and more clear, and the surface of the water was turbid and gray. Yao Yanan picked up a wooden branch and put it into the clay pot, and stirred according to the theory and experience recalled by Wen Siqi and the old man, stirring while dipping in the water.

After a while, the lime was stirred into a sticky paste. Yao Yanan grabbed it and sprinkled the soil into clay pots to fully mix it with the sticky paste.

When the mixing was almost done, Yao Yanan put a plastic bag on her hand, and Ye Yajie helped her tie the knot, watching her pinch the cement.

"After pinching it, put it to dry together with the one just now, and it should harden after two or three days."

How long does it take for cement to harden?Yao Yanan didn't know either, anyway, they were not used to build houses, as long as they wouldn't be softened by water in two or three months.

Ye Yajie looked at it for a while, and felt bored, so she left Yao Yanan and Mu Jie, and turned to the old lady who was distilling in the kitchen, "Grandma! Lift it for me, I can't carry it alone."

The salt was almost gone, and the physiological saline was consumed. There was only one day left for tomorrow. She and Yao Yanan went to the beach to carry sea water. It was the third bucket just now, and it happened that Mu Jie was getting out the shell ash.

The old lady hurriedly wiped her hands, got up and trotted over to help lift the bucket.

Putting the barrel down, Ye Yajie thumped her rusty waist, and then walked under the eaves.

Han Tang sat on the bamboo chair made by the old man, and Wen Suiyun sat in the corridor next to her, weaving heads and tails for the roof of the balcony.The progress of the project is not slow, and palm leaves have been woven on six wooden bars.

The main frame of the balcony was set up yesterday afternoon, and the old man has been laying the floor for it all morning. Now it has been finished and the balcony is fenced. Lin Jianfei is helping him.

The pits for the construction of the pool were also dug yesterday afternoon, waiting for the cement to be completed.

Walking to the side of the uninterested Wen Suiyun, Ye Yajie grabbed a piece of pineapple from the bowl next to her and put it in her mouth.

I found that the pineapples were not yet ripe, and now they are all ripe.

Soft meat, plenty of water, refreshing!

Ye Yajie ate it happily, and picked up another piece of pine and brought it to Wen Suiyun's mouth.

Wen Suiyun opened his mouth to bite down, and said vaguely: "Thank you, sister Ye..."

The vagueness of the words could not erase the low emotion in the tone.

It was almost noon, and Wen Suiyun stood by the gate of the courtyard restlessly, looking into the depths of the jungle.

When asked what was wrong, she said she felt that her mother was sad again.

The answer was extremely mysterious, but Ye Yajie couldn't refute it, because this kid was really Wen Siqi's emotional radar.

Patting the little guy on the head, Ye Yajie picked up the bowl and handed it to Han Tang, "Tang Tang can't eat it."

"Thank you." Han Tang put down the leaves and forked a piece of pineapple with a wooden fork.

Putting down the bowl, Ye Yajie leaned against the wall, her gaze involuntarily looked deep into the forest.

Han Tang followed, "Are you worried about them?"

"Ah."

Ye Yajie responded casually.

Can you not be worried, not to mention the bad news that Wen Suiyun detected with telepathy, according to the angle of the shadow of the wooden stick standing on the beach, it is already past three in the afternoon, and it has been almost a day since he has not returned.

Jiang Xinran once said that the sugarcane forest is near the west of the island.

Lin Jianfei told her at noon that it took them about an hour to go from the northeast corner to the mangrove forest, and it didn't take long to get from the entrance of the mangrove forest to the place where they encountered the crocodile. Logically, they should have returned earlier.

But now there is not even a shadow.

What happened that you can't come back sooner?

Ye Yajie was very worried.

"Don't worry, they will be fine. Even if we meet, Siqi will find a way to bring them back safely."

"Since when did you become her fangirl?"

It can be heard that Han Tang trusts Wen Siqi very much, without any doubts in what he says, he is just a blind little girl.

Han Tang smiled lightly and said, "It's not that she became her fangirl, it's that she's been doing this all the time, except...

Every time she went out, didn't she bring people back safely, so I believe it will be the same this time. "

As Han Tang said, every time Wen Siqi went out, she would bring her back safely. Even Lin Jianfei came back safely that time, and this time it might be as Han Tang said, returning safely.

However, Ye Yajie was a little concerned about the words that should have been picked up after Han Tang's interrupted words.

except what?

Before she could think about it, a high-pitched voice suddenly rang out in the jungle.

"Hurry up and give someone a hand, I won't be able to lift it anymore!!"

The sharp sound was like a thunderbolt, and suddenly there was a commotion all around, and Ye Yajie clearly heard the frightened cock crowing not far away.

"It's Wang!" Ye Yajie looked happy, and jumped down the corridor and ran out regardless of her physical condition.

Yao Yanan also heard the sound, and quickly asked Mu Jie to untie the knot of the plastic bag, and followed with a flick of his hand.

"What the hell is that?"

Ye Yajie thinks she has good eyesight, she can see something wrong under the sugar cane, and with such a long mouth sticking out beside Jiang Xinran's head, it's hard not to notice it.

"That's... a crocodile, right?"

Yao Yanan saw it too. She saw it more clearly and recognized what it was, but she couldn't believe they would bring it back.

"Don't stand there, come and help me!"

Seeing the two standing still, Wang Zhenzhen urged them angrily.

Ye Yajie and Yao Yanan just walked over.

The closer he got, the more clearly he could see the alien on the stretcher, and the surge of terror made his scalp numb.

"I said, didn't you go to chop sugar cane, why did you get back a... a crocodile?"

His gaze stayed on Jiang Xinran's face for a moment, then quickly passed over Wang Zhenzhen's face, and fell on Wen Siqi who was limping behind.

Only then did Ye Yajie notice that there was something wrong with Wen Siqi's right leg. When she went out, half of her foot fell to the ground. When she came back, she touched a sharp point and dragged her away.

Looking at Wen Siqi and then at the crocodile, Ye Yajie felt that she had guessed the reason.

"It was unlucky to encounter it. If we couldn't avoid it, we had to fight hard. Fortunately, we won." Wen Siqi smiled lightly, taking the thrilling process lightly.

Ye Yajie curled her lips, and immediately looked at Jiang Xinran.

"Go back and talk."

Jiang Xinran's expression was calm, not concealing her fatigue, which made Ye Yajie feel that something was up again, and it was still related to Wen Siqi.

Quickly glancing at Wen Siqi who came over, Ye Yajie immediately collected her thoughts and walked to Jiang Xinran's side, took over the handle from one side of the stretcher, and Yao Yanan took the other side from Wang Zhenzhen.

The courtyard was full of people.They all came out, and each of them stretched their necks to look curiously at the dead crocodile carried on the stretcher.

"It's hurt."

After looking back and forth at Wen Siqi and the three of them, Mu Jie also looked at Wen Siqi's legs.

"I was thrown to the leg, but it's okay, don't worry."

Wen Siqi was still the same calm, everything from tone to expression made them believe it was true.

Wen Suiyun was one of them. The tense tension on his face similar to Wen Siqi's was instantly relaxed, and he ran towards Wen Siqi with a grin.

Ye Yajie glanced back, then glanced to her side, smiled back and told her: I'm really fine.

ghost letter!

Back in the yard, the sugar cane on the stretcher was put aside, and a group of people pointed around the crocodile and discussed how to deal with it.

Wen Siqi surrounded the circle with horizontal and vertical paintings, and Jiang Xinran joined in the fun, Wang Zhen really had lingering fears and didn't want to approach her, Ye Yajie covered Wen Suiyun's mouth, and sneaked closer to her.

"Hey, tell me, what's going on with the two of them?"

The feeling between Wen Siqi and Jiang Xinran was very wrong, and Fa Ye Yajie couldn't explain why it was wrong, so she felt something was wrong.

"Ask your sister, I have never been in a relationship before, so I don't understand the tricks between them."

Seeing her eagerness to scratch her ears and cheeks, Wang Zhenzhen rolled her eyes and sat down on the chair with her legs up on the guardrail, paralyzed like a salted fish.

"It's okay not to talk about them, just talk about how you met this thing."

Ye Yajie didn't chase after her, instead she pestered them about what happened to them.

Compared with her emotional concern for Jiang Xinran, she cared more about Jiang Xinran's physical condition.

This crocodile had obviously shed a lot of blood. With Jiang Xinran's mental state of blood, fear was inevitable. Ye Yajie was very concerned about what happened during the fear.

"This... I remember she was quite normal at the time."

Ye Yajie asked the question she was most worried about, but Wang Zhenzhen's answer made her puzzled.

"normal?"

"Yes, more normal than me."

"You're bluffing me." Ye Yajie didn't believe it.

How could this convince her that a person with a phobia would be more normal when seeing blood than a person without a phobia?

What a liar.

"Why are you bluffing? Are you making money?"

Wang Zhenzhen glared at her angrily, turned his face straight, and told the story in detail, including how the crocodile encountered it.

"That..." Wang Zhenzhen gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry for putting your sister in danger!"

After speaking, he turned his head away.

Ye Yajie stared at her, and said calmly, "Did Xinxin forgive you?"

"Crap...um."

"Then it's over." Ye Yajie waved her hand very generously, and then changed her face and slapped her neck horizontally, "But there will be another time, be careful that I will hack you to death!"

Wang Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief, twisted his body as if he had been reborn, and raised his chin slightly, "You don't need to remind me."

Ye Yajie spat secretly, before she could refute, Jiang Xinran came over, leading Wen Suiyun who looked back every step of the way.

"Sister Xinxin?"

Seeing Jiang Xinran sitting in the corridor, Wen Suiyun tilted her head in confusion.

Ever since Wen Siqi came back, she has stayed by her mother's side every step of the way, but just now, Jiang Xinran secretly waved at her.

Looking at Wen Siqi who was surrounded by the crocodile together, Jiang Xi pulled Wen Suiyun in front of her and put his hands on her shoulders.

"Yunyun, you must stay with your mother in the days to come, no matter where she goes, you have to follow her."

"Remember?"
