One Hundred Days on an Uninhabited Island

It was a rainy day, and the rainfall started to fall evenly at [-]:[-] in the morning, and it has not stopped falling until [-]:[-] noon.

Wen Siqi sat not far from the entrance of the cave, leaning against the rock wall and looking out to the sea.

The sky was dark, with layers of rain, and the turbulent waves raised white spray that hindered the vision from a distance, and it was hard to see what was passing under the distant sky.

Jiang Xinran screwed on the bottle cap, followed to explore the distance, islands, vegetation, the sea...

If she is in a villa or a star-rated hotel now, she will probably have the comfort of making a cup of tea, and then sitting by the floor-to-ceiling windows to enjoy the beautiful scenery of nature through her own filter.

But now, the reality of being trapped makes her really unable to appreciate the romantic thoughts, and there are still many things to consider.

Like, what do you encounter when you explore the island?Will there be traces of humans?Did the beast that ate the goat have any offspring?Can those who stay in the camp keep themselves safe?Is the food around enough for them to eat?

There are a lot of issues to consider, but Wen Siqi still has leisure at this time...

Turning her head and glanced, Jiang Xinran put away a little bit of dissatisfaction.

Wen Siqi was not appreciating the leisure of nature, the traces of her brows were clearly furrowed, and her eyes were distracted looking into the distance, like a soulless body before her eyes.

Thinking about it carefully, I have picked up the water several times back and forth, and watched Wen Siqi for a long time. She should have looked at herself and asked: What's wrong?

How childish!

Jiang Xinran bit her lower lip lightly, feeling naive about her dissatisfaction with Wen Siqi just now.

Putting the water bottle filled with rainwater aside, Jiang Xinran squatted next to Wen Siqi, and reached out to pat her on the shoulder.

"what happened?"

Wen Siqi came back to her senses, the answer was as expected, even the turning smile was in Jiang Xinran's expectation.

Gentle, courteous, distance.

Wen Siqi's smile is always like this, neither close nor far away, always keeping a certain distance, making people unable to get closer and reluctant to stay away.

No wonder she can count her friends in Nancheng on one hand.

Secretly said, Jiang Xinran restrained her thoughts, and said seriously: "What are you thinking, I see that you have been sitting for a long time without moving...Be careful of catching a cold."

The second half of the sentence seems to be giving a reason for the topic I started, and the unwillingness to admit the sincerity makes people laugh.

"Thank you for your concern." Wen Siqi smiled slightly, then looked away again into the distance.

Not getting an answer, Jiang Xinran was unwilling to just do this, so she squatted beside Wen Siqi and waited for her to reply.

Sensing her will, Wen Siqi turned around with a helpless smile and said, "I'll discuss it with everyone when I think it over."

"Exploring the island?" Jiang Xinran immediately thought of the reason for Wen Siqi's thinking, and this was the only reason for Wen Siqi to think at this time.

Wen Siqi was taken aback by her sharpness, and suddenly smiled, "Yes."

The smile is light, like the wind blowing, easily making a person happy because of her joy.

However, Jiang Xinran was not tempted at this moment, her brows tightened, and her face darkened.

"Why don't you discuss it with everyone, it's not your business alone."

"But it came up for me and it was necessary for me to perfect it."

Wen Siqi's smile didn't change.

Jiang Xinran glanced at the busy people in the cave. Some were making clay pots, some were rushing to work on sandals, some were sewing sutra belts, and some were helping each other. Everyone was contributing to the team.

Looking back at Wen Siqi, Jiang Xinran frowned again, "I remember you said that you can't take everything on yourself, it will leave others with nothing to do, but now you are leaving us with nothing to do Do."

"No, Miss Jiang has wronged me. I never took everything on myself. I was just thinking of an alternate feasible direction for things that might lose their direction."

Once there are more people, there will be more ideas. Thinking in all aspects is far more perfect than thinking by one person, but too many people may not be able to get results. Everyone has their own ideas, and they are scattered, and it is easy to unconsciously When they are led to biased thinking and confused, they need someone to guide them in the right direction, and Wen Siqi is doing such a person now.

Give yourself a direction of thinking first, and the possible thinking misunderstandings you may fall into and the feasible ideas on how to get out. Only when you have a clear direction, can you bring others out in time when others are anxious because of no results, so as to avoid affecting the team. mood.

This method puts a lot of pressure on the leader, so in ordinary life, everyone chooses to stop the discussion when they encounter chaotic results, let everyone go back to think quietly, and spread the pressure on everyone, even If one person can't think of it, another person can think of it, but it is not suitable for this isolated island, and the environment prevents them from calming down and thinking slowly.

You say change the method?

Replace what?

Isn't that the same thing to think about, and if you have to think about one problem all the time, won't there be no one to think about other problems?

Think together?

Then mess together?

There must always be someone to take on some things. Wen Siqi basically did this before, thinking about it by herself first, and then discussing it with others. When she had no idea during the discussion process, she would guide and improve the idea.

In this way, there is a method, and everyone has achieved the result of contributing to the team, the best of both worlds.

As for what will happen after losing the leader?

Wen Siqi also thought about it, so she had a selfish motive.

Wen Siqi looked at Jiang Xinran in deep thought, and watched her stare at her with great interest.

"you are selfish."

After a while, Wen Siqi heard Jiang Xinran's displeasure with her.

Wen Siqi frowned, and asked with a smile: "How do you say?"

"Is it great to think that you are doing good for others and putting pressure on yourself? No, you are selfish."

Jiang Xinran stared at Wen Siqi, not disgusted, just a little annoyed, annoyed at Wen Siqi's double standards, while talking about brainstorming, so that everyone can feel that she is a useful person, while putting the pressure on herself.

It's really a selfish double standard, which makes people hate it, but it can't be completely hated, just like Wen Siqi's hanging distance, I really want to give her a hard slap.

Wen Siqi didn't know what Jiang Xinran was thinking. At this moment, she was still fond of Jiang Xinran's words, "It's because of selfishness that I desperately want to live. Isn't it the same for Ms. Jiang? She speaks in such a low voice because she doesn't want to be heard go."

Wen Siqi glanced at Ye Yajie who was playing with the old man and Wen Suiyun in the mud. She was so happy that she didn't notice this at all.

Jiang Xinran also looked over, gritted her teeth and remained silent for a while, then she looked at Wen Siqi again.

"Tell me what's on your mind."

"reason."

Jiang Xinran gritted her teeth and said, "You don't want Suiyun to be troubled, and I don't want my sister to be anxious either. You and I have the same selfishness."

She is not stupid, and it is not difficult for her to guess something from what she sees.

Hearing this, Wen Siqi smiled even more, but said in her mouth: "Knowing things in advance will only increase troubles in vain."

"Since you feel troubled, then you still don't say it."

Jiang Xinran glanced at her angrily, and sat next to Wen Siqi, a little distance away.

The wind outside the cave was blowing hard, but the wind was not in the right direction. Wen Siqi, who was sitting by the cave, didn't feel any chill. She smiled and told Jiang Xinran what she was thinking.

There are not many things to think about, a few are easy to solve, and there are some real headaches, just like the last question Wen Siqi thought about, how to carry the fire.

Unlike those who stayed in the camp, the range of activities was limited. Even if the fire was extinguished, no matter how busy they were, they still had time to start a fire, and they had a place of shelter.

But exploring the island is different. It is impossible for them to spend an hour or more on making a fire, and they cannot have no fire. In the jungle, there is no fire and no shelter, which is equivalent to stripping themselves in front of wild beasts.

Therefore, there must be something that is easy to carry and easy to make a fire, a fire pocket.

"Grandpa said that he has never done a joke."

It's not that Wen Siqi hasn't asked the old man, but unfortunately the old man already had matches at that time, and he didn't have the experience of traveling far when he was young. Huo Zhezi... Unfortunately, the old man doesn't know.

Unfortunately, Jiang Xinran didn't know how, or even didn't understand the principle of its preservation and what materials were used.

First of all, there must be flammable materials. This is simple. There are large areas in the jungle, and the firewood they burn every day can produce a lot of charcoal, which are all flammable materials.

Secondly, how to keep them immortal for a long time is the most important issue.

Lastly, where is the cover that protects the fire from being blown out by the wind, or getting wet by the rain?There is no suitable bamboo here, cut a small section from the pipe?

But how would the material be stuffed in?You can't pour it in all at once, how can you take it out then?

My head is a little confused, and the more I think about it, the worse it gets.

At this time, Jiang Xinran finally understood Wen Siqi's worry.

It's okay if someone knows, it's useless to worry, it's useless to worry, at most it takes a little thought, but what if they don't know?

When thinking about a problem, the head is blank and has no clue. In this situation, it is easy to destroy a person's calmness. Once the calmness is lost, other negative emotions will come uninvited, especially on an isolated island.But if someone shows the way at this time, then the problem is not a problem.

She glanced at Wen Siqi, then looked back at the other busy people, and told Wen Siqi what she thought.

Wen Siqi smiled all over her face when she heard this, "What a coincidence, we actually thought of going together. I've thought about these issues just now."

There seemed to be something interesting in the look at her. Without waiting for Jiang Xinran to think about it, Wen Siqi said again: "Have you seen the clips of the characters in martial arts dramas using the fire pockets? The shape of the fire pockets in their hands."

"You mean, use something to mix them together and put them in a conduit to seal them?"

"No, it can't be sealed. Without oxygen, the fire can't be maintained. The duct must have a vent, and it can't be too big, so it will burn out all at once."

It was as if the lubricating oil of enlightenment had been added to the head suddenly, and it was no longer chaotic like before, and the mind was spinning very fast.

"However, what can be used to combine the materials together..."

Jiang Xinran muttered to herself.

Water is definitely not suitable. You don’t need to think about anything when you add water. Although its moisture can make things sticky, it is incompatible with fire after all. If it is oil...

Wait, oil?

Jiang Xinran suddenly passed Wen Siqi to look out of the cave, and the rain splashed with the wind mercilessly hit her face.

"Did you think of something?"

A question came from beside her ear, and Jiang Xinran turned around excitedly. She was about to share her good news, but her smile disappeared when she saw Wen Siqi's smile.

"Did you already think of a solution?"

"Not long, just when Miss Jiang was talking to herself, I have to thank Miss Jiang for waking up."

There it was again, that nasty smile.

It's obviously the same as usual, but I don't know why, when Jiang Xinran saw this smile, she felt like Wen Siqi was laughing at her stupidity, but when she looked carefully, she didn't mean to be mocking, it was just... inexplicably uncomfortable.

Pursing her lips, Jiang Xinran forcibly restrained her thoughts, and said seriously, "What did you think of?"

"Let's talk together?"

"can."

There was a moment of silence, and they spoke in unison.

"Pine resin."

"Pine resin."

Looking at each other, Jiang Xinran turned her eyes away, and looked outside the cave again.

Just now, she thought that she had seen a few pine trees near the place where the mud was dug. Judging from its height, it was probably a Chinese pine tree. Mix it together, and then pinch it to the spear, and the most important part of the fire zhezi will be completed.

It's just that Wen Siqi thought of the answer one step earlier than her, which made Jiang Xinran a little unconvinced.

"The last problem is solved, Miss Jiang, do you want to discuss the details together?"

"of course."

Jiang Xinran followed without hesitation. Sitting next to Wen Suiyun, she watched Wen Siqi draw out the questions and listened to how she introduced the guidance at the right time. The whole discussion process ended smoothly at sunset. don't say anything.

"Xinxin, have you discussed it with Wen Siqi long ago?"

As soon as the discussion was over, Ye Yajie pulled Jiang Xinran aside and bit her ear.

Jiang Xinran looked up at Wen Siqi, shook her head in denial, "Sister, you're overthinking, so she and I thought about the problems we might encounter."

"Really?"

Ye Yajie didn't believe it, she looked up and down suspiciously.

Jiang Xinran was still perfunctory.

"Really, I can still lie to you."

"Stop talking about this, sister, it's time for us to prepare dinner."

Leaving her hand on her arm, Jiang Xinran squatted into the crowd without looking back.

Seeing Jiang Xinran's back turned to her, with the words guilty all over her body, Ye Yajie curled her lips.

"Tsk, it's easy to fool me when I'm a kid. You came out a few months earlier, you just drink milk and don't grow your brains!"

"Tui! My mother listens to you!"
