With Wu Junlan's strong desire to go to the mountains behind her, Wen Xian paid special attention to Wu Junlan's whereabouts.
Afraid that no one would notice, Wu Junlan ran to the hill behind to look for cotton.
Why is Wen Xian working so hard to stock up on food? Is it because she is planning not to leave the cave throughout the winter.
If there is no cotton, burn more charcoal and burn charcoal for warmth all the time.
Although she thought it was impossible for Wu Junlan to go to the back mountain with Sheng Lian'er and Jiang Lingling following her, but what if.
Wen Xian always felt a little uneasy and wanted to ask why.
Hearing her question, Fang Jiaren's expression paused slightly, and then she pretended to be calm and said: "They went to peel off brown skins. There are many palm trees there. When they come back, they can peel off more brown skins. It's best if they can make one each." Coir raincoat."
"Oh?" Wen Xian pondered for a moment and said, "There are so many palm trees? Did they go there yesterday?"
If there really are so many palm trees, it would be a good idea to come back with more. The coir raincoat can also keep out the cold.
Fang Jiaren nodded and said, "I'm going."
They did go yesterday, and I didn't lie.
Wen Xian lowered her eyes and ate the taro paste without saying much else. There was a furry feeling next to my feet, it was Xiao Huihui.
With a thought in her mind, she picked up Xiao Huihui and put it in her arms.
She was in coma for the past two days, so Xiao Huihui was taken care of by others. Xiao Huihui was sleeping next to her just now. When she woke up, she walked towards her, nestled on her feet and refused to leave.
Wen Xian finished the taro paste in two mouthfuls, put the empty bowl aside, stroked the little gray hair and sighed: "It grows so fast, I can't even fit it in my shoulder bag."
Xiao Huihui moved around so fast that she couldn't stuff it in her bag every day. You can only hold it in your arms or put it on the ground and let it run along by itself.
"Uu~uu~" Xiao Huihui whimpered, stretched out his tongue and licked her hand, expressing his dependence.
Wen Xian smiled and sat quietly by the cellar to play with little Huihui.
Whatever she did now would get her job taken away, so she might as well just sit and warm herself by the fire.
But she couldn't sit still, and soon started playing with the bamboo strips. Playing with the bamboo strips was not a physical job, so no one else stopped her.
Having said that, Xia Zhi and the others were really capable, and the charcoal they re-burned was done in a decent manner.
Not only that, they also extracted fresh water from a reservoir.
A twenty centimeter-high stone and earth fence was built around the reservoir. If it rains again, just put a protective gear on it.
Wen Xian thinks this method is very good. It seems that a rain has made everyone gain experience. She also took advantage of this moment to start weaving a bamboo lid with strips of bamboo.
She planned to make a few more, specially used to cover the water reservoir and earthen stove.
It can be used on the earth stove as a rain gear, and can also be used as a lid on the earthen pot in the cave.
As time went by, before they knew it, they had been on the island for more than four months. Now, inside and outside the cave, there seems to be the prototype of a home.
The three seafood pits at the entrance of the cave have been turned into three small ponds with stone fences.
An earthen stove was set up ten meters away from the entrance of the cave. At this moment, a fire is burning in the earthen stove, and they are working hard to boil salt and refine fresh water.
There are two piles of firewood piled next to the earthen stove, one large and one small. The small pile is used to boil water. The big pile was firewood that had been wet in the past few days.
According to the current weather, these firewood will have to be dried for at least ten days and a half before they can be used again.
Next to the earthen stove is an earthen cellar that is burning inside.
Now everyone is afraid and does not pile firewood outside. But when burning charcoal, he would be taken out of the hole. I'd rather have some trouble than suffer any loss.
Further to both sides, there are some stones of different sizes. There are sunbaked dishes placed on the stones, and various dried seafood and dried wild vegetables are dried on the sunbaobans.
It's been raining for a few days, so these are all damp, so I have to take them out to dry in the sun again when the weather is nice.
Everything is in order, and the atmosphere of life is very strong, even if it is very simple.
However, Wu Junlan, Sheng Lian'er and Jiang Lingling did not come back during lunch.
Jiang Jingwan frowned slightly, but she still made up for it in front of Wen Xian: "Maybe they are not hungry yet. They went out to dress up with taro and chestnuts. It is normal not to come back for dinner."
She actually didn't agree with them going to the back mountain, but she couldn't overcome her second son's stubborn temper.
Wen Xian glanced at her and said, "The palm tree is close to the cave. The distance was short for them to go there. Why did they need to bring food?"
Bringing food is a clear sign of traveling far away.
She put down the bowl and chopsticks and said with a cold face: "Where did they go? Boss, tell me seriously."
Wen Xian's face turned cold, and everyone else lowered their heads and did not dare to say a word. Only Jiang Jingwan, who was singled out, had to raise her head to look at her.
Wen Xian couldn't help but laugh angrily: "Why, am I a cannibal or something like that, and you don't even dare to tell the truth?"
She thought that she didn't do anything excessive, she didn't hit or scold them, she was just a little harsh at most, and she didn't know what they were afraid of.
Seeing that she couldn't escape, Jiang Jingwan finally sighed and said: "As Madam thought, the three of them did go to the mountain behind to look for cotton.
I went there yesterday, and the second child said he didn't hear any wolves. So, today they continued to look for it. It's my fault for not persuading people. "
The hilltop is huge, and according to their pace, plus having to look for cotton while walking, it would be impossible to complete the hike in a day or two.
Not only will it take a day or two to find it, but even if it takes ten days and a half a month, you may not be able to finish it. Just refer to the previous experience of looking for cotton.
"Ha." Wen Xian sneered and said with a strange tone, "Does this mean that your life is too long, or that you are overconfident in yourself?"
After saying this, she picked up the bowl and ate her food without getting angry or making any comments.
It seemed that this matter was a trivial matter, and it was a trivial matter that had nothing to do with her.
For a moment, the entire cave was so quiet that you could hear the sound of a needle falling. Everyone present had different thoughts.
They were not sure whether Wen Xian was a sign of anger or just breaking the rules. They really didn't want to worry about Wu Junlan and the others.
But at this time, Wen Xian didn't want to care about their thoughts. After the meal, he drank a bowl of medicine, then picked up Xiao Hui Hui and lay down on the bamboo mat.
If you were to ask her if she was worried, she definitely was. In comparison, she was more worried than angry. She was worried that these three people would really encounter wild wolves in the mountains.
If you really encounter a wolf, you may not be able to escape from its mouth.
But so what if she was worried, her current worries were of no use. Besides, he was still weak and couldn't take the risk of rushing to the mountains to find someone.
Otherwise, she would faint in the mountains and plains before finding anyone.
Fortunately, as evening approached, Wu Junlan and the other three finally came back tiredly.
Wen Xian woke up from her stupor, turned her head and saw three people kneeling in front of her, seeming to beg for mercy and burning paper for her to send her away.
She woke up with a start and said, "Am I not dead yet, or do you want me to die early so that I can take risks in the mountains behind me?"
