Day Ten: The Jungle

Shen Bing squeezed again: "I think we can try it. Or... why don't you try?"

"You really want to try!"

"Can't just leave it..."

Jiang Yao and Tang Xiaoguo looked at each other:

"Since Lu Zhe made it..."

"Let's be guinea pigs."

Jiang Yao and Tang Xiaoguo each took one and fumbled behind the shelter for a while, padded well!

Then they both walked out red-faced.

Lin Qianqian curiously asked: "How do you feel?"

Jiang Yao tilted her head and thought for a moment: "Em... To be honest, it's not as unbearable as I imagined."

Tang Xiaoguo pursed her lips: "After all, it's Lu Zhe's stuff, it feels quite comfortable to leave it like this."

Ning Shu nodded: "Anyway, this is the best alternative to sanitary napkins that can be used at this stage. I say, Lu Zhe, you're really talented! You can even make this stuff!"

Lu Zhe casually said: "People have to grow through practice. As attentive and willing to learn as I am, careful observation allows me to obtain a more comfortable living experience in harsh environments!"

Blowing cowhide?

Sounds like it.

Shen Bing curiously walked to the rock beach and noticed the tools Lu Zhe used to make these things, and suddenly understood the sterilization principle!

In fact, the guy is really awesome!

"Hey, what to do with so many fish?" came Lin Qianqian's voice from the other side.

"Kill two to make fish soup, the rest... let's make them into baked fish slices, they can be preserved for longer and can also be used as snacks!"

"Wow, baked fish slices!"

"Just hearing it gets me excited!"

"Can you do it?"

"It's simple, I'll teach you!"

"Is this also taught in the ten thousand whys?"

"Stop talking nonsense and learn well!"

Lu Zhe picked up a dinner knife and started operating: "Kill the fish, remove the entrails, then debone and skin, then spread the meat on stones, squeeze out the moisture with bamboo tubes while roasting the stones. Sea fish itself is salty, spread some honey, then press back and forth to roast while squeezing out all the moisture..."

By the evening, everyone finally drank fish soup and harvested more than two catties of baked fish slices.

Summarize the gains of the ninth day!

Made two important stone tools!

It means they have officially entered the Stone Age.

And improved the quality of life by utilizing bamboo leaves, elaeagnus branches, sea sponges and other materials.

The rescue team still hasn't come, but life is getting more and more on track.

But the biggest problem still hasn't been solved, which is that a sustainable water source has not yet been found.

On a deserted island, without continuous fresh water, it always means that the threat of death cannot be escaped!

June 19, Sunday, sunny!

6:30 in the morning, now, it's the tenth day of being stranded on a deserted island!

Lu Zhe ate a piece of python meat, two stems of fishy grass, and two pieces of baked coconut meat early in the morning.

He plans to go deep into the woods today and search horizontally along the mountain ridges and forests.

The purpose is only one: to find mountain springs, streams or lakes, and then move the camp near the water source.

He prepared some tools:

A stone knife to slash through thorns;

A slingshot and ten pellets for hunting;

And a simple compass made with a magnet.

Then apply mosquito repellent.

Also bring Ning Shu's backpack, which contains two bottles of coconut water and some dried fish slices.

Lu Zhe originally planned to act alone, but everyone disagreed!

Shen Bing said: "I may not know as much as you do, but acting alone in the wild is very dangerous. I had no choice before, but now we have the conditions, it’s best to take someone with you."

Lu Zhe felt that having a girl companion would not be bad, at least she could share some tools and chat.

"But at most one person!"

Shen Bing would have been the most suitable to act together, after all, she was more familiar with the terrain here and could serve as a guide.

But the sutures on her calf hadn't healed yet, and too much trekking could aggravate the injury.

Guo'er just got her period, Yao Yao's period hadn't ended yet.

Only Ning Shu and Lin Qianqian were more mobile.

Make a choice between two.

Finally determined that Qianqian would accompany him into the woods,

The reason was that today was Wednesday, and Qianqian was the duty girlfriend!

"Qianqian, you are the one I trust the most. Remember, the duty girlfriend must prevent him from being naughty, at most just holding hands!" Ning Shu exhorted solemnly.

"Don't worry, captain."

Lu Zhe also applied mosquito repellent on Lin Qianqian, and at eight o'clock in the morning, the two entered the woods together.

After entering the woods, they walked up the slope to a place about three hundred meters away from the coastline, and started traversing the mountain horizontally.

This road was not easy to walk, but it was the easiest route to find fresh water.

Under the shade of the trees, there were all kinds of unknown insect calls, which made people feel irritable!

Faintly, bird calls and beast roars could be heard deep in the woods, and it was impossible to distinguish what kind of species they were. Lin Qianqian was a little scared.

Lu Zhe walked in front, constantly swinging the stone knife to cut through the thorns ahead.

Lin Qianqian followed him closely, chatting while walking to relieve the fear in her heart.

Lu Zhe originally thought that Qianqian would only pay attention to plant and geological information.

As they chatted, Lin Qianqian suddenly asked:

"Lu Zhe, you like Sister Bing, right!"

Lu Zhe was surprised!

He didn't expect Lin Qianqian to suddenly ask such a sentence.

"Why do you ask that?"

"I feel like when you talk to her... " Lin Qianqian frowned: "It's like you have an unusual relationship."

"No, don't talk nonsense."

Lu Zhe thought: Do girls really have a sixth sense? Or did Lin Qianqian notice something that night?

"Are you jealous?"

Lin Qianqian smiled and said, "No, actually, I understand you..."

"What do you mean by that?"

"I also like to look at cute and pretty girls. Sometimes I feel like if I were a boy, I would definitely be like you, a fickle playboy."

"I'm not like that!"

To be honest, in terms of appearance alone, Lin Qianqian was the prettiest of the girls.

But who would have thought that such a cute girl would have such a strange side.

"If you like girls, does making you my duty boyfriend make you very uncomfortable?"

Lin Qianqian shook her head: "Being your duty girlfriend makes me feel very happy. You...are the only boy I don't dislike."

"So it still feels like you're jealous when you mention me and Sister Bing?"

"No way!"

Lin Qianqian flicked her long hair: "I understand Xiao Zhe liking pretty girls. And I really like you being like this!"

Lu Zhe felt even more wrong.

"You like it?"

"Of course!"

Lin Qianqian smiled and said, "Seeing the boy I like and the girl I like being lovey-dovey together makes me feel like the happiest person in the world! How could I be jealous?"

"Qianqian, something's not right with you!"

On the surface, Lu Zhe was normal, but in his heart he was extremely surprised!

This was the first time he knew there were girls like this in the world!

Should I counsel her mentally?

Wait, why counsel?

From his own point of view, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this!

At least it won't be jealous over trivial matters like Tang Xiaoguo!

So the question is!

If you meet such a girl in your life, would you counsel her?
