August 10th, the 62nd day stranded on the deserted island!
Wednesday, duty girlfriend: Lin Qianqian!
Through the efforts of the past few days, the safety and comfort levels of their shelter have been getting higher and higher.
But there are still many areas that need improvement.
After the tree house was built, climbing up and down was a crude forked branch used as a ladder. Others could barely use it, but it was not so friendly to Guo Er, who was slightly shorter.
Either someone pulls from above or pushes from below, otherwise the little girl simply cannot climb up.
A convenient ladder needs to be made to go up and down, preferably with bamboo steps with handrails.
The roof is also a palm leaf roof. It's fine if it doesn't rain. If it rains, water may drip in and get the bear fur or the girl wet.
A more sealed and sturdy roof needs to be made.
The door is a simple door made of bamboo frames and rags, tied with ropes at night as a lock.
It's too sloppy and too loose. A more solid wooden or bamboo board door needs to be remade.
The windows use bamboo frames to support transparent plastic bags instead of glass to keep out mosquitoes and insects while allowing sunlight to shine into the small tree house.
But once poked there is a leak. If monkeys sneak in and scratch the plastic bags they can get in.
Want to make glass windows, no suitable materials, to run to the ocean to dismantle the plane for a piece of glass would be too much trouble.
There is also the fence around the campsite and the surrounding wild grass.
What can be repaired needs to be repaired, and what needs to be cleared needs to be cleared.
However, these trivial matters can be left to Shen Bing and the others. Go slowly if it's done slowly, there is no urgent time pressure.
Lu Zhe has things he needs to do.
First check the ditch dug yesterday.
He found that the water in the ditch had become clear to the bottom. He pinched some of the sand and gravel at the bottom of the water flow with his fingers. There was no silt, probably the result of being continuously flushed by the water flow.
The silt, tree roots and gravel of the mountain are natural filters.
In theory it can be drunk directly, boil it and cool it to ensure safety.
"Lu Zhe, what are we going to do today!"
Looking back, it was Lin Qianqian with her head tilted and smiling.
Lu Zhe thought about it: "There are quite a lot of things that need to be done. I want to build a toilet on the water pipe and build a reservoir upstream. But what we should do now... we should go to the bottom of the volcano and take a look at the vegetable garden!"
"Well, haven't you been there in the past two days?"
Lu Zhe shook his head: "Let's do this, eat something first, go to the bottom of the volcano, take a look at the seedlings, if there's no problem, let's first plant the sweet potato vines, and on the way back, bring back some fruit."
Lin Qianqian nodded: "I have no opinion. Wherever you say to go, let’s go."
The two ate and took the equipment, arriving at the hot spring at eight o'clock in the morning.
"So happy, can take a bath again!"
"Wait until the water pipe is built, we can make a shower at the campsite and take a shower anytime, anywhere."
After saying that, he took off his shirt and put it in a plastic bag, ready to get into the water.
Lin Qianqian happily hmmmed, and turned around, "Help me undo the buttons."
"Is this really okay?"
"What's wrong, don't you like it?"
Lu Zhe scratched his itchy nose: "It's not that I don't like it, it's just..."
Lin Qianqian thought for a while and suddenly realized: "I understand, you like it secretly, right?"
Lu Zhe helplessly sighed. As expected, the clumsy explanation last time did not make Lin Qian think he was a normal boy.
Also, the scorpion incident was exposed after all. No matter what he said, he couldn't wash it off.
So frankly, was there no little selfishness in it at that time?
Yes!
Definitely yes!
A girl like Lin Qianqian stung by scorpions, any boy with normal orientation would not give up saving her.
"Actually I don't like secrecy..."
"Yes, fair and square!"
"How to say..."
"We are the best friends, frankly sharing each other's secrets feels really good, doesn't it?"
"It's good, it's just..."
Lu Zhe was also confused. He had also seen quite a few girls before, and knew how to deal with most of them, only Lin Qianqian would lead you into a pit with a few words, and you couldn't climb out.
Lin Qianqian happily said: "On Qixi Festival, your confession said what I had buried in my heart for a long time but did not dare to say. Only then did I truly understand that we are the same kind of person!"
She took Lu Zhe's hand. Her bright eyes were full of sincerity: "I actually like and admire you at the same time. I admire Guo Er and the class monitor for liking you too. I didn't understand before, but later I understood, maybe in the world of hentai, I'm still far from doing enough!"
Lu Zhe was stunned. It turned out that in Lin Qianqian's view, the reason why others liked him was actually because of hentai!!
"Lin Qianqian, have you ever thought of another reason, that they like me, possibly because I am a boy?"
"Hmm!" Lin Qianqian nodded: "So I have to learn from you even more. Sometimes I also have to be like a boy!"
After saying that, she took off her top and was bare-chested like Lu Zhe.
Lu Zhe was dizzy and almost had a nosebleed and stiffened right there.
Lu Zhe hurriedly recited the Art of War once: "That’s enough, let’s get down to business!"
"Get down to business?"
Lin Qianqian's face flushed red, and she nodded nervously: "Here...here?"
"Of course not! We have to go in! Seal the stuff with plastic bags, enter the crater through the hot spring, water the plants, and get some fruit on the way back."
Lin Qianqian was startled: "Huh?"
The two entered the cave one after the other, then through the long passage to the bottom of the volcano.
Arriving at the vegetable garden, there was indeed a little green parrot trying to get in but got tangled in the net.
At the moment struggling painfully.
Lu Zhe picked it off and asked Lin Qianqian, "Hungry?"
Lin Qianqian nodded: "A little, but don't want to eat parrot."
Lu Zhe gently said to the little parrot: "You ran into me this time, you're lucky. Don't try to get into the net next time."
After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and released the little parrot.
It seemed that the protective net worked very well. The plants inside were not harassed by the parrots.
Lu Zhe lifted the net and walked in with Lin Qianqian. He found that the pepper had sprouted, and the other transplanted plants were nourished by bird droppings and grew well. The ground was slightly dry and weeds had grown out.
The result of no rain since August.
Fortunately, the water level in the pool did not decrease, and water could be freely taken for irrigation. He also pulled out all the newly grown weeds.
Lu Zhe felt that the conditions for planting sweet potatoes were already in place.
He carefully planted the sweet potato vines!
"How long will it take to eat sweet potatoes!"
"About four to five months. Let's go find some fruit now."
The two wandered around the bottom of the volcano again, and under a vine of grapes, they found a large pit scattered with lots of wild grapes.
