On the other side, Liuyue, Yutong and Ailan, who were looking for water sources, walked in the direction where they saw the waterfall before. They were now going to verify whether the river in the center of the forest was fresh water and whether they could give them a line. Provide a stable source of water.
After walking for a while, everyone finally arrived at their destination, which was a small waterfall more than ten meters high in the center of the desert island. Below the waterfall was a small lake created by the water flow. The lake is crystal clear, as bright as a mirror, the sun is bright in the sky, and the clouds are like catkins. Under the sunlight, it shines like ordinary silver. White smoke rises from the lake, lingering like a gauze or silk strands. Looking forward, the eyes are full of silvery water traces, Miaomiao blue waves, layers of water waves, the wind flies freely on the lake, and the refreshing water vapor rises from the top of the waves and from the cracks in the stones. The lake is surrounded by some lush woods. The woods go straight into the water and the sky, casting reflections all the way, swaying in the water.
"Wow, such clean lake water." Ailan ran towards the lake shore excitedly, squatted down and used both hands to hold up the clear lake water and splashed it on his face. The cold lake water was particularly cool. He gently moved his palms on the lake, then took a sip of water. Then his eyes widened and he vomited again. Spreading out his sweet tongue, he said: "Bah, bah, bah, why is this lake so salty?"
"Is it salty?" Liuyue squatted down in confusion, dipped some lake water into his mouth with his finger, and then frowned. The water was really salty, so it couldn't be used as a water source. He and others had to find it again. Unexpectedly, the water source that everyone had high hopes for turned out to be very disappointing.
"We have to search again." Seeing Liuyue's frown, Yutong knew that there was no hope for this place, so he shook his head and said.
"Liuyue, Yutong, look what that is?" Ailan pointed to the other side of the lake and said.
After hearing Ailan's words, the two of them looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a row of trees growing side by side on the opposite side of the lake, with many huge fruits on the trees.
"It's a coconut tree! We have short-term drinking water!" Liuyue exclaimed, it is really another village with dark flowers and bright flowers. At least now with this row of coconut trees, everyone does not have to be so urgent to find water sources.
Liuyue led Ailan and Yutong and ran quickly towards the other side of the lake. When we came to the bottom of these coconut trees, there were more than a dozen coconut trees in this row. They were uneven in height. The tall ones were about seven or eight meters, and the short ones were about four or five meters. Each coconut tree was bearing numerous fruits, and there were also some on the ground. Many coconuts naturally fall off after maturity, and some of these fallen coconuts also have a slender bud growing on the top.
Seeing these sprouted coconuts, Yutong ran over and picked them up one by one as if he had seen a treasure.
Seeing Yutong's actions, Ailan asked in confusion: "Yutong, why are you picking up these coconuts? We don't want them since they have sprouted. There are still so many on the tree anyway."
"No, this is a good thing. According to the data, this kind of coconut contains something called coconut treasure. It is said to be very delicious. Let's pick some back. If we don't find food, this can be our dinner. But Can't waste it." Yutong said to Ailan while holding the coconut.
Hearing Yutong's words, Liuyue and Ailan also ran over and picked up the coconuts on the ground. Because the coconuts were too big, each person could only hold three or four coconuts. There was no other way, so the three of them had to pile the coconuts in one place first.
"Okay, let's pick a few coconuts from the tree. I guess these won't have much water in them." Liuyue said, looking at the coconuts piled into a small pile.
"Well, if you want coconut juice, you still have to ask for the tender coconuts on the trees." Yutong nodded in agreement.
"Leave it to me, I'm good at climbing trees!" Ailan raised his hand and volunteered.
After saying this, Ailan hugged the coconut tree closest to her and climbed up using her hands and feet. However, she underestimated the difficulty of the coconut tree and overestimated her own ability. She was afraid of working and her body began to fall down. , after trying several times in a row, the fight ended in failure, and Ailan looked at the two of them with some embarrassment.
"These trees are too slippery and difficult to climb." Ailan smiled bitterly at the two of them.
After seeing Ailan's failure, Yutong also stepped forward and tried, but like Ailan, he managed to climb halfway and failed.
"It's really scary. Without professional tools, it would be difficult for us to climb up and get the coconuts," Yutong said.
"What should we do? Let's go back to find the instructor and bring the knife to chop down the tree?" Ailan asked doubtfully.
"No, I'll take care of it," Liuyue said. After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the woods. About ten minutes later, he saw Liuyue walking out holding a long dead tree pole.
"Liuyue, do you want to poke the coconut down? Why didn't I think of this great idea?" Ailan's eyes lit up when he saw the long tree pole in Liuyue's hand.
"Well, this way we don't have to run back all the way." Liuyue nodded and said.
Liuyue came to the coconut tree that the two of them had climbed before, held up the long pole in his hand, and stabbed the coconut on the tree hard. The precise angle and huge force allowed Liuyue to accurately hit the handle of the coconut every time. After hitting the same place several times in a row, a huge coconut fell. The coconut smashed into the sand like a fallen stone.
"Awesome Liuyue, come on, come on, hit me a few more times!" Ailan shouted excitedly while looking at the coconuts on the coconut tree below.
"Don't be anxious, take your time." Liuyue said, the tree trunk in his hand did not stop, and he kept poking at the coconuts on the tree, and soon one by one the coconuts were knocked down.
After Liu Yue had finished playing, Ailan ran towards the coconut that fell on the ground as if he had found a treasure.
"Liuyue, one of the coconuts here is broken." Ailan picked up a coconut the size of a human head from the ground and pointed to the place where the juice was leaking out.
"Well, it probably hit a rock when it fell, so let's eat it." Yutong nodded and said.
"That's a good feeling. I haven't eaten a coconut yet, but how can I open it without tools?" Ailan said with regret as he looked at the coconut that was constantly dripping with coconut juice.
"You said you want us to experience the life of ordinary people, but you really think of yourself as ordinary people. Give it to me, and I will help you open it." Liu Yue shook her head and said.
Reaching out to take the coconut in Ailan's hand, Liu Yue's five little fingers pierced the coconut like ordinary hard blades. With a strong pull, the outer fiber protective shell of the coconut was torn off by Liu Yue. After doing this several times, the protective layer surrounding the coconut had completely disappeared, leaving only a hard inner shell. Liuyue poked his finger into the coconut shell with a small crack, and broke off a small piece with a bend of his finger. After seeing that there was still more than half of the coconut juice inside, he handed it to the greedy Ailan.
Ai Lan raised the coconut in his hand, poured it into his small mouth through the gap made by Liu Yue, drank a few sips, wiped the coconut juice around his mouth and sighed: "Well, it tastes good, with a light fragrance. , it’s a little sweet, and it’s pretty good as a drink, Yutong, you should try it too.”
"Then I'm welcome." Seeing Ailan drinking so happily, Yutong couldn't wait, so he took the coconut and drank it.
After the three of them drank the juice in the coconut, Liuyue smashed the hard shell of the coconut with his palm, handed a few pieces of the shell with white pulp to Ailan and Yutong and said, "This coconut fruit is also It’s quite similar, you try it.”
"Well, it's really good. The coconut is as tender as jelly, and it's also very fragrant." Ailan praised.
Just as the three of them were happily drinking coconut juice and eating fruit pulp, a black object fell from the tree and hit Ailan's head directly under the tree with a "bang".
"I'm going, who? Who attacked me?" Ailan covered his little head and exclaimed. He turned his head and looked towards the ground to see what thing was attacking him. He was frightened when he saw the dark, strange-looking thing on the ground. He jumped up from the ground and jumped to the side of Liuyue and Yutong and pointed. He touched something on the ground and said, "Scorpion, what a big scorpion!"
"This is not a scorpion. This is called a coconut crab, a kind of land hermit crab. Alan, you have read the earth's information and you don't even know this. What a fuss." Yutong patted Alan's back and was speechless. said.
"I have read it, but how can I remember so much? I didn't deliberately remember so much information. By the way, Yutong, can you remember all the information about the earth?" Ailan said unconvinced.
"Okay." Yutong nodded and said, as if this was a very common thing.
"Uh... Then you are an example. I don't believe that anyone can do it. Liuyue, can you?" Ailan asked Liuyue standing aside.
"Okay, as long as it's information I've read, I can remember it." Liu Yue said calmly without turning his head. He stared closely at the coconut crab on the ground, his eyes shining with happiness.
"..." Ailan felt that he was being ridiculed. He is also an angel. Are you all so good? Can you find a way to survive with him?
"Liuyue, what are you doing? Why are you catching such a disgusting thing?" Ailan exclaimed, looking at Liuyue who was lifting the coconut crab by its tail.
"Of course I will take it back for dinner. I was worried about what Ruoning and the others would do if they couldn't find food. I didn't expect the food to be delivered to my door. It only weighs more than ten kilograms. The food is half done." Liu Yue looked at the Coconut Crab, who was shaking several of his long legs in his hand, the chief editor of Long Yawu, and holding up a big hammer to attack him and said with a smile.
"Isn't it? Liuyue, you said we want... to eat this thing? This is too disgusting. I don't want it. I would rather eat coconuts." Ailan looked at the coconut crab in Liuyue's hand in horror and said, She can't swallow such strange things, thank you for your insensitivity.
"Don't think it's ugly, but it still tastes pretty good. You'll know when you try it." Liuyue showed off, holding up the coconut crab in her hand.
"Farewell, I really can't accept it. Let's go back quickly with these coconuts. If we go back early, we can help the instructors and the others build a shelter." Ailan looked at Liuyue walking towards her with a coconut crab, and ran in a hurry Come and keep a safe distance from her.
"Liu Yue, please stop scaring her. Ai Lan has a natural fear of such weird things, and you don't know it. Okay, we have been out for a while, so go back quickly." Yu Tong patted Liu Yue. said the shoulder. Then they found a few long vines to tie the coconuts together, so that they could easily carry them back. Otherwise, the three of them wouldn't be able to get much if they just carried them back.
After Yutong was done, everyone left the lake and walked towards the location of Qin Wuyou and others.
On Qin Wuyou's side, everyone was already busy. Qin Wuyou took a machete and started chopping down the trees. The thick tree was cut into two pieces by the powerful blade, and fell to the ground with a sound. The cut was as smooth as a mirror. The remaining people were responsible for clearing away the excess branches, repairing the tree trunks and moving them to the place they chose to build their houses.
After cutting down all the trees needed, Qin Wuyou returned to the place where the house was to be built. He just let others finish the work of trimming the wood and moving it, and built the house himself.
Qin Wuyou found a few of the thickest tree trunks, held them upright with both hands, and pressed them against the ground. The entire trunk was directly inserted into the soil more than one meter deep, standing firmly on the ground. After a few times, the main pillars of the house are ready, and the rest needs to be built.
Suddenly, Qin Wuyou thought that he and others were busy building a house. The matter of the flames had not been resolved yet. What would happen if there was no flames to cook tonight?
Seeing Yan walking over carrying a big tree, Qin Wuyou shouted, "Yan, come here."
"What's wrong, instructor?" Yan put down the wood on his shoulders and walked towards Qin Wuyou, asking doubtfully.
"Yan, can you make a fire? Without resorting to other modern methods." Qin Wuyou asked.
"Yes, I know how to drill wood to make fire, but I haven't tried it, so I don't know if it can succeed." Yan said with some uncertainty.
"It's okay. I'll leave the task of making the fire to you. Stop working on it now and help us light the fire." Qin Wuyou said.
"Okay, I'll give it a try." Yan nodded and said, and then started to look for something to make a fire.
After Yan left, Qin Wuyou split the tree trunks into straight and flat thick wooden boards, then neatly patted them into the soil to serve as the walls of the house, and then fixed them with tenon and tenon technology to make it look like this The strength of the house is even stronger than that made with nails. The wooden boards are linked together to form a flat and solid wall, but because they are made on the spot, they are not as beautiful and delicate as the painted and decorated walls.
After building the main structure of the house, Qin Wuyou once again moved the wooden boards and laid them flat on the ground, fixing them with tenon and tenon technology to serve as the floor of the house. This could isolate the water vapor on the ground and serve as a resting place. clean. After five or six hours of sincere cooperation, a large magical wooden house was built. This wooden house is only sixty or seventy square meters in size. It is divided into two rooms. One is used as a place for eating, chatting and playing, and the other is used as a place for sleeping and resting.
Although the house is small and simple, everyone feels unprecedentedly satisfied. After all, this is a house built by everyone working together. I couldn't wait and ran to the house to visit various places.
