One Hundred Days on an Uninhabited Island
Chapter 39 The Island Day 7-10 The Raft of Hope
In the days full of hope, time flies by, and two days pass in the blink of an eye.
During the two days, Yao Yanan, Mu Jie, and Wang Zhenzhen went back and forth between the jungle and the beach all day long, looking for branches suitable for making pulp, trees for poles, and piling up firewood. Unfortunately, firewood is piled up. If they don't get up, they will soon turn into carbon and burn into water.
The old lady also dragged her body that had not fully recovered all the time, running in the waves full of energy, and then scooped a large bucket of seawater into the boiling iron pot.
The iron pot has not been covered for three days, and the seawater in the cold pool has been changed again and again, and the condensed water has filled bottle after bottle, but it is still not enough to drink.
Ye Yajie and Han Tang, two pregnant women, have been staying in the shelter for the past two days and twisting the rope.
Ye Yajie's ten thoughtful fingers finally got back together, and she stopped messing with her mind, and her speed of twisting the rope was as fast as that of Han Tang, a craftsman.
Perhaps it was because they were sitting together all the time, the relationship between the two became closer, and they called each other by name.
As for the sick and pregnant, Wen Suiyun, the little Ouhuang, has been using the ability of her blood, picking up a fish in the morning, a crab at noon, and an unlucky squid that came with the tide at night...
In short, although there are few things, there is no shortage of good goods in the little guy's hands. According to Ye Yajie's words:
"This little devil probably saved the earth in her previous life, and the earth will repay her in this life. Forget all good things and throw them by her side. What is being blessed by nature, this is it!"
The words are rough and not rough, except for Wen Siqi, everyone agrees with this statement.
So rich?
If she was truly blessed, she should have been born in a better-off family who loved her more, instead of being the daughter of a clown.
Wen Siqi couldn't agree with Ye Yajie's statement. When other people used this to make fun of Wen Suiyun, she would always suppress her smile and become silent.
Jiang Xinran observed this point carefully.
The raft had to be finished. With the concerted efforts of Wen Siqi, Jiang Xinran, Lin Jianfei and the old man, the trees on the beach were all processed and arranged side by side, and one end was tied with a crossbar for fixation.
Next, they only need to fix three more places so that all the wood can be ready to leave the island, just ten days after they landed on the island.
According to the plan, it was like this, but God didn't show a good face when he saw that he was going to lose. It rained heavily in the early morning of the ninth day, and it lasted for a whole day, so the plan was extended.
Fortunately, it was just a rain, an ordinary heavy rain. The sea water did not surge because of it, and the wind did not dance wildly because of it. Everything seemed to be developing towards the good side.
"Do you still have the bottle?"
"Are you gone there?"
"It's gone, these bottles were emptied when the water was boiled just now."
"Let's just go with these first, and then go to fill the water on the ground after using them tomorrow morning."
On rainy days, when water is collected, in nature, except for boiling hot water, there is no water that is cleaner than rainwater. It is a pity that they have no container to catch more. There are not many intact bottles on the beach, and they are already in the water. in their hands.
"I really want to have a few big tanks in front of me, so I don't have to worry about not having enough bottles."
Yao Yanan screwed on the bottle cap, put the water bottle aside and sat down by the fire.
"Speaking of which, there is a big tank in the yard of my hometown, which is placed under the tree. The water in it is full of rainwater. Sometimes it doesn't rain for a few days, and the water becomes muddy. I jumped into the tank and wanted to swim, but I almost got smoked to death."
Recalling the time when I was young and ignorant, even the regret on my face disappeared.
"My grandpa's house also has a mouth, at the corner of the wall, there is always this cover, with stones pressed on it.
When I used to go to Grandpa's house with Xinxin to play, I always wanted to smash it to see if there were any ghosts and ghosts in it. "
"Is that broken?"
"Broken."
Jiang Xinran interjected with a faint smile.
"Of course it was smashed, but there was nothing inside. It was an empty tank, but I saw the monster outside the tank, and I was beaten by the monster."
Childhood memories are not high or low, only whether they are willing to recall, at least Ye Yajie is willing to recall the memory of Jiang's family.
That was childhood.
"However, after that, I have never seen such a tank again, and I will never see it again in the future."
But childhood will not come back, some are just aftertaste.
"Maybe we can see again."
"what?"
His incomprehensible eyes fell on Wen Siqi.
"You can see that kind of tank again, and you can put another big tank in front of you."
"The island?"
Subconsciously, Jiang Xinran thought of another island behind the island.
"Yes, if you can find soil that can be used to make clay pots on any island, you can try to make clay pots. If you make them bigger, they will be mouth jars."
"If you have suitable soil, you can try it."
"Grandpa, can you make clay pots?"
The old man smiled, "I can't say yes. There is a cousin in the village who used to do this. I have seen it a few times and helped a few times. I still have some memories of this hand. I can try it."
"If it works, can we have a normal bowl?"
"And cups."
"You can also make a clay pot, and make a few more for distillation, so that you can have a lot of water in a day."
"If you want to make a distiller, you need a conduit. We can only divide this one in half at most."
"Maybe there are bamboos on that island, so we can make more."
"It's better to have fresh water resources. If the island has fresh water resources, it doesn't matter if there is bamboo or not."
"Can there be fresh water resources on the island? It's not a big island like Hawaii."
"It's a volcanic island, maybe there is."
"Will there be?"
Every word you say to me, the mentality that changes with the change of the situation is full of hope at this moment, hoping that they can't help dreaming about a better life.
The flame flickered, and the crackling sound of the dry wood in the fire overwhelmed the sound of the dripping rain, the lapping waves, and the howling of the wind outside the shelter, and only the hopeful conversation was the only sound that broke its silence.
Wen Siqi didn't get involved, but just sat quietly and smiled to silence her own existence.
She likes to listen to others, and quietly listen to the hidden stories in other people's stories. Even if they are not telling but discussing, she can find out-of-topic stories from the topics discussed.
She likes the quiet.
There is light, people, a glass of warm water and a story.
"Siqi, what do you think will be on that island?"
"Ok?"
Suddenly regaining consciousness, her eyes flicked across everyone's faces, all of them were smiling, light and airy, Wen Siqi couldn't help but smiled again.
"Well... I can't be sure, but I think that there must be something we need on that island, and there must be creatures that threaten us."
"Keeping a heart of reverence for nature at all times is a responsibility to life, and it must not be taken lightly."
The joy that danced like the fire was suddenly annihilated by the rain, and the atmosphere was a bit cold.
The smile on Yao Yanan's lips also froze. Although what Wen Siqi said was very reasonable, it was true that the situation in the past two days made them let go of their awe of nature for a while, especially just now that she didn't even have any fear or confusion. That island can live very well, and then is rescued by a passing ship in good spirits.
floated away.
Yao Yanan did not deny that her mind was wandering, but...
Come out and pour cold water when everyone is happy...
This is not like Wen Siqi's style, she should encourage them to be strong, optimistic and move forward positively.
Or do calm people always go against everyone else?
Yao Yanan pouted her chin and sighed softly.
The eyes glanced back and forth one by one, some people knew it well, some people felt unwilling, and some people tried to explain their confusion by pulling the corner of their wife's clothes, but the latter whispered their curiosity.
"What a terrifyingly calm woman."
The voice outside the shelter overwhelmed the muttering, and no one heard it. Ye Yajie quietly bumped into the arm of the person next to her, pulling her attention away from the other person.
The light of the fire was not bright at all, the wind was blowing from outside, making it shy from day to day, light and shadow intertwined on her face, Wen Suiyun raised her head, and there was a distress that didn't match her age in her nimble eyes.
The little hand tugged at an invisible place, and Zhang Qi's little mouth was blocked by a bowed smile.
It's dark, there's nothing else to do, it's time to go to bed, and Wen Siqi is on vigil again.
The firelight reflected self-deprecation on her face.
……
The next day, the sky was fine, the wind was breezy, and the sun was not too hot. It was a good day for working and extracting value.
"Go further to the left, all right, that's all, fasten tight."
"How about this wooden stick? It's just the right thickness, and it can be used to make pulp as long as you tie the boards together."
"Your one is long, it is suitable for making a spear, but it is a waste for making oar."
"Ha~ I'm so sleepy, why did I have to twist the rope early in the morning? Isn't it enough twisting these days?"
"We still need about five meters. We only have three meters here, and we have to add at least two more meters."
As soon as the sun came out, the group started to work. Wen Siqi and Jiang Xinran were working with the old man and Lin Jianfei on the final stabilization project for the raft. The old, weak, sick and pregnant in the shelter were rushing to work on the ropes needed for the raft.
The three of Yao Yanan gesticulated and rowed against a few sticks and a few wooden boards, thinking of adding some wooden paddles to the raft, and they also cut down young trees to make poles, and they waited for the raft to be launched.
The waiting time was not long. As soon as the scorching sun passed in the afternoon, the raft was pushed and dragged into the water.
float.
Lin Jianfei was the first to stand on it, leaning on the pole, staggeringly standing on the raft, the waves tried to take it away.
Lin Jianfei beckoned, "Come up a few more."
Wen Siqi went up, followed by Jiang Xinran, the raft was still floating on the sea.
"I'm coming too!"
"There are not enough people, let's move a few stones to make up the weight."
Except for Han Tang, who was carrying his big belly, they all went up, and the sea was submerged up to his knees and waist, but he couldn't submerge the raft, which was always floating on the sea.
Just when the tide was flat and there was no offshore tide, Wen Siqi and others sat on the raft and paddled a few times in the sea.
The raft launched perfectly.
"It's done! We made it!"
