Stranded on a Deserted Island, What to Do?
Chapter 8 Water is the source of life!
Although the average temperature on the island is not very high, the sun is strong, and direct sunlight can quickly make people lose moisture.
Hua Mu lost her shoes, and her physical strength was weak, so she had to be carried by a white pillow.It's not that she didn't do anything, she propped up her coat to shield the two from the sun.However, as Baizhen goes deeper into the hinterland, the sparse forest gradually thickens, and the sunlight is no longer so fierce.
Even Hua Mu was able to judge the size of the island in the first place because there was a conspicuous mountain on the island, about a few hundred meters high, quite a distance from the two of them.The water flows to the low places. The primary purpose of the two this time is to find a clean and stable water source, so the destination of Baizhen is the low-lying place under the mountain.
The two of them encountered a storm yesterday and fell here. If there is a mountain stream, it should not dry up today.The luck of the two was better than expected. The vegetation on the island seems to be quite rich. Although the water source has not been found yet, some banana trees have been seen.
When Hua Mu first saw it, she was happy, thinking that there was another fruit to eat.It turned out that only a few of the banana trees had a few blue fruits less than the size of a palm, and the rest were either fruitless or had been eaten by insects and birds.
"Tsk, you can't even eat it!"
Hua Muban sat on the arm of the white pillow, looking at the obviously unripe banana with regret.
Bai Zhen didn't leave immediately.
"Miss, are you thirsty?"
Hua Mu had just drank the coconut juice not long ago, but she still didn't feel thirsty.
"I'm not thirsty anymore, and the bananas are not yet ripe, and if they are ripe, they won't quench my thirst."
Bai Zhen understood, without further explanation, silently noted down the location of the banana tree, "Then let's continue walking."
Hua Mu is not stupid, realizing that she misunderstood Bai Zhen's meaning, she couldn't help but feel ashamed.Not to mention surviving in the wild, even if she was thrown into the marketplace alone, it would be difficult for her to walk.Growing up in the royal family did make her pampered, but it also made her more aware of urgency in some aspects.
She knew that she couldn't completely rely on a white pillow, one day, two days, but how much longer?She must start learning from Baizhen now.
"Ahem," Hua Mu really needed some mental training to be ashamed to ask, she cleared her throat for a while, and she didn't speak until Bai Zhen asked, "Just now, if I was thirsty, what would you do?"
Because the two agreed that the first in-depth time would be at most half a day, so they did not bring such cumbersome things as coconuts.
Bai Zhen always answers Hua Mu's questions.
"I'll cut you a banana stem."
Hua Mu pursed her lips, but she didn't say anything disgusting.
"Is that edible?"
"It rained so much yesterday, there should be a lot of water stored in the stalks."
Huamu is not thirsty, so he cares more about the taste than its water storage purpose.
"Is it good to drink?"
"Eh..." Bai Zhen hadn't even had a drink.
Hua Mu couldn't help but patted her, "Do you dare to drink it for me if you haven't drunk it yourself? How bold."
Bai Zhen felt that what the eldest lady said was very reasonable, and felt extremely ashamed for a while.
"Then, I'll try it next time."
It is actually very boring to lose your temper with someone who goes with you in everything, and Hua Mu doesn't know whether she should be angry or not.
"Forget it, let's hurry up, I'm not thirsty anyway. Oh, by the way, if you see something useful on the way, tell me about it."
Bai Zhen's physical strength is so good that Hua Mu doubts his life. He obviously didn't have much rest last night, except for eating some coconut and shellfish, and hardly even drank any water. Today, he carried her on his back but was steady in the muddy and rough forest. After walking for so long, I didn't even catch my breath.
There are no ready-made roads on the island, only some animal paths appear occasionally.White pillow often needs to turn back, which took a lot of time.But Hua Mu found that she was very purposeful. When walking towards the mountain, she would recognize it and adjust her direction.
"What are you smelling?"
After observing for a long time, Hua Mu finally found out what she was doing.
"I'm smelling the water, miss. There should be a source of water near here."
Can water still have a taste?Hua Mu drank water for so many years and never knew it!However, after two days of smelling the fishy smell, she was almost used to it.
Sentry does have an innate advantage in survival in the wild, which she couldn't learn.Hua Mu sighed with emotion, and reminded herself once again that she must win over the white pillow.
"What kind of water source, is there a lot of water?"
Of course, she has other, more pressing things to think about right now.For example, take a good bath!In order to minimize the number of times she went to the toilet, she didn't dare to eat much!If there is a lake where she can take a bath, she can barely accept it.
"It should be more abundant."
Bai Zhen seemed to be a little bit happy, Hua Mu couldn't help but said happily: "That's great!"
However, when she saw Baizhen's so-called "abundant water source", her heart was half cold.Not to mention the lake, there is no pool of water.There was only one stream meandering down from the hillside, the widest part was no more than two meters, and the deepest part could barely submerge her thigh—her thigh.
The creek flows under the thick shade of the trees. Compared with the outside, it is obviously much cooler here. Even Hua Mu felt that he could smell the so-called "smell of water".
Although there is a big gap with the expectation, having water is better than no water, and the stream looks very clean, which doesn't mean that you can't take a bath. Hua Mu calmed down and accepted this reality.
"Is this water drinkable?"
She asked casually, but Bai Zhen kept the previous events in mind.
"I can have a taste first."
Hua Mu thought it was really boring. If she couldn't drink it, wouldn't that mean she was asked to test the poison?
"No, I look pretty clean, you put me down, I want to drink water."
There are several rough paths along the stream, connecting several flat places close to the stream, with many footprints scattered on them, probably some wild animals have drank water here.
Bai Zhen carried Hua Mu on his back through the animal path, then carefully put her down and stepped on his shoes.
"Miss, be careful with your feet."
Hua Mu actually wanted to go into the water with bare feet, but there were injuries on the soles of the feet, and the water hadn't been drunk yet, so it was too much to wash her feet first.
"You hug me and sit there."
There is a smooth rock by the water not far from the two of them, which is very suitable for people to sit on.
Bai Zhen hugged her and spread the coat on the stone. Hua Mu sat on the ground, and her heart, which had been drifting all morning, finally settled down.
Bai Zhen brought half a coconut shell, squatted on the side to wash it, scooped up half of the shell water and smelled it carefully, and finally handed it to Hua Mu.
"Miss."
Miss, Miss, Miss, Miss.
Hua Mu couldn't help cursing while taking the water that Bai Zhen handed over.
Doesn't this guy know her name by now?
As she thought about it, she took a sip of water angrily.
Although the stream water is not sweet and refreshing, the water temperature is slightly cool, and it is quite refreshing when it enters the throat.Hua Mu hadn't drank water for more than a day, and now, when he tasted it for the first time, he actually felt that it was better than coconut juice.
Seeing her drinking with a happy expression, Bai Zhen squatted down and picked up a handful of water and drank it himself.But as soon as the water entered, she frowned slightly, and looked towards the top of the mountain with some concern.
Because of the sea breeze, most islands do not have too high peaks.Most of the islands with mountains are formed by volcanic activity.
There was no obvious sulfur smell in the water, but she still felt something was different.It's just that this matter can't be confirmed for the time being, and she doesn't want to tell Hua Mu to worry.Even if it is a volcano, as far as the current situation is concerned, it should only be an extinct volcano or a dormant volcano.
Hua Mu didn't know Bai Zhen's worry at all, and sighed contentedly after drinking the water.
White pillow has been alert to the surrounding situation.Judging from the footprints of the wild beasts, they were nothing more than wild boars at most, which might pose some threats to ordinary people, but to the sentinels, they were only a meal on the plate.Compared to these, she was more afraid that things like snakes, insects, rats and ants would scare Hua Mu.
Seeing her standing still, Hua Mu looked around with sharp eyes and kicked her leg.
"Have you finished your drink?"
"Miss, I'm done drinking. If you're rested, let's go back, and I'll come to fetch water later."
Bai Zhen walked a lot of wrong way with Hua Mu on her back. If she was alone, the straight-line distance of five or six kilometers would take more than ten minutes to go back and forth.The forest is much more dangerous than the beach, even if she puts all her strength on guard, there is no guarantee that no unexpected situation will happen.
"I don't want to go back yet..." Hua Mu hasn't done the most important thing yet, how can she go back?
"Do you have anything else?"
Bai Zhen was a little puzzled.
In such an unfamiliar environment, you must not rush for quick success.Every action must have an expected purpose, and no matter what happens after this purpose is achieved, the plan must be re-established.
Their goal today is to find a source of water. Of course, it would be nice to have other harvests along the way—for example, they found a few banana trees and palm trees, but it’s best not to stay for a long time now.
Hua Mu twitched, "I want to take a bath."
Bai Zhen was stunned.
For sentinels on mission, everything other than protecting the owner and survival is not necessary, let alone bathing?
"But……"
This is too dangerous.
Hua Mu put on the airs of a young lady, "No, but I didn't wash yesterday, and now I feel very uncomfortable."
Bai Zhen knew that Hua Mu paid great attention to hygiene, and he also felt that it would be too wronged for a noble lady like her if she couldn't take a bath.
The eldest lady is different from people like her, her skin is so tender that it seems to be broken when touched, so things like taking a bath can't be delayed.
"OK then."
Bai Zhen nodded in agreement, Hua Mu was overjoyed and just waited for her to leave.But she waited for a long time, but the other party still stood there like a tower, showing no intention of leaving.
"I said I'm going to take a shower!"
Hua Mu is in a hurry.
Bai Zhen thought she needed something, "Miss, do you want towels or..."
What kind of towel does she want in this wild country?Does this white pillow look down on her IQ?
"Why haven't you left yet?"
Bai Zhen raised his eyebrows slightly, and said firmly, "I can't go."
Hua Mu: "..."
The author has something to say: pay attention to the label, farm food text 2333333
If it is easy for Bai Zhen to survive alone in the wild, it is hard to bring Hua Mu.
Hua Mu: What the hell, look down on me?Can she get benefits if I don't take a bath?
I've been a little busy recently, and my health isn't very good, so try to be more active.
Hua Mu lost her shoes, and her physical strength was weak, so she had to be carried by a white pillow.It's not that she didn't do anything, she propped up her coat to shield the two from the sun.However, as Baizhen goes deeper into the hinterland, the sparse forest gradually thickens, and the sunlight is no longer so fierce.
