Lu Zhe picked up a tree branch: "Class monitor, help me hold up that side!"
"Ok!"
Lu Zhe started tying the tree branches together!
Lin Qianqian also wanted to come over to help: "What can I do?"
"Go pick a lot of leaves, the more the better, later it will be used as a windbreak!"
"Got it!"
Jiang Yao and Tang Xiaoguo said together: "What about us?"
"Yao Yao, you weave the leaves together! Xiaoguo, continue collecting fresh water with Qianqian's socks!"
Lu Zhe thought for a bit, then instructed: "Be careful not to scald yourself!"
"We know!"
With everyone working together, although it was tiring, the mutual cooperation and encouragement temporarily made them forget that feeling of despair!
Lu Zhe first put two branches together, shoved them deep into the sandy ground, then 3 meters away, he also put two branches together!
The tops of the two sets of bundled branches were tied together with another branch on the bottom!
This was a relatively stable tent frame!
Then, Lu Zhe tied grass ropes between the two frame structures, and draped the leaves that Lin Qianqian and Jiang Yao had woven on top as a windbreak!
After two hours, a rudimentary shelter was completed! Although the shelter looked very simple, it was highly practical!
During the hot daytime, one side of the windbreak could block the sun while the other side could be taken down for ventilation!
At night when it got cooler, ropes could be pulled up on all four sides to hang up leaves as windbreaks, which would provide very good insulation!
As soon as it was done, the girls immediately sat inside!
Tang Xiaoguo stretched lazily: "Wow, it's so cool!"
Lin Qianqian said happily: "It feels like home!"
Ning Shu smiled: "Haha, it has the charm of a summer camp!"
Jiang Yao stretched out her legs and picked up a coconut bar: "With a tent, drinks and snacks, I didn't expect wilderness survival to be so romantic!"
"Hey, little Zhe, you should come in too!" Jiang Yao scooted over.
"Coming!"
Lu Zhe went in and lay down to try it out, there was just enough room for five people to sleep!
Lu Zhe checked the time: "It's 3:30 now, the sun is leaning west, everyone can rest for a while now! Build up your energy so later when the tide goes out we can launch the drift bottle and go to the sea."
Just then, Jiang Yao's eyebrows tightened slightly!
Then she leaned over and whispered something to Ning Shu next to her, Ning Shu shook her head, she hesitated for a moment, then also said something to Lin Qianqian
The two girls nodded together!
Lin Qianqian pulled out ten paper towels from her backpack, gave five to Jiang Yao, then she helped Jiang Yao up: "You guys rest first, I'll accompany Yao Yao to take care of some small thing!"
Small thing?
What small thing?
Lu Zhe guessed the two girls probably wanted to use the bathroom, and quickly reminded: "Remember, the seeds!"
Jiang Yao said helplessly: "I know!"
Lin Qianqian supported Jiang Yao as they went into the woods, soon, Jiang Yao's screams were heard!
"Ah......"
More danger?
Ning Shu and Tang Xiaoguo immediately became nervous!
Lu Zhe said in a deep voice: "You two stay here, let me go see!"
"Be careful..."
Worried about encountering wild beasts or snakes, Lu Zhe picked up a stone axe and ran towards the scream!
Turned out it was a false alarm, because her ankle was hurting, she had accidentally sat down when she failed to squat properly, getting her butt all dirty.
After some vomiting from disgust, Lin Qianqian supported her to the beach to get washed up. Lu Zhe knew that it was no longer realistic for her to pick out seeds herself.
No choice but for him to do it!
Indeed, no matter how cute the girly girls were, their pee wasn't crystal macaroons in fruit flavors either.
A prompt popped up in his mind, the passion fruit seeds were inside!
Should he pry it open and squeeze out the seeds?
At this time, Lu Zhe thought of a good method!
He took off one of his socks, then used two tree branches to clamp the stuff and stuffed it into his sock!
Lu Zhe knew that in wilderness survival, feces were also extremely important survival resources!
It sounded unbelievable, but it was indeed a fact.
Human feces contained large amounts of oils and fats, which for many wild animals, were excellent sources of nutrition!
For example fish, shellfish and sea cucumbers often used their own feces to make bait to catch small fish.
In addition, feces had a certain deterrent effect!
In the African grasslands, survivors would gather everyone's feces together, mixed with some blood and bone scraps, piled near the campsite.
The large pile of feces, with its strong bloody smell, was like there was a huge, terrifying carnivore lurking.
It would make lions and hyenas think twice about approaching!
In addition, the feces of many animals also had their uses, some could be used as medicine ingredients, some as fuel for fire, some to mask human scents, and even some that could be used as sun block.
The most outrageous yet truthful one Lu Zhe had heard was that grassland people used cow dung to wash dishes and plates, and only VIP guests had the privilege to enjoy this kind of treatment!
And now, for the sock-encased item, Lu Zhe had a ingenious dual purpose for it!
One was to use it to catch small fish, two was to use his own sock to filter out the seeds.
He returned to camp, the coastline had now risen to its highest point, and some of the SOS landmarks were also submerged by seawater!
Lu Zhe knew that right in front of where the distress signals were placed, there were some large rocks!
Some rocks were squeezed together, and after the tide went out, small enclosed tide pools would form there!
If there were fish that did not retreat with the receding tide and were trapped in these tide pools, they could only wait for the next high tide before they could escape!
Wasn't this an ideal fishing spot?
"Xiaoguo, let me borrow your stockings for a bit!"
Tang Xiaoguo who was wringing out distilled water said: "I can lend them, but no naughty business!"
Although she said it like that, in her heart she was over the moon, wishing that Lu Zhe would do some naughty things.
Lu Zhe took a pair of stockings and inspected them, although some threads were pulled loose, there were no holes anywhere!
Looks like the quality was pretty good!
He found some flexible branches, bent them into rings, then tied them tightly with hemp ropes!
This was how he made five rings about 15cm in diameter!
Then he slid the stockings over the five rings one by one, leaving about 10cm between them!
The branch rings stretched out the stockings, making them really look like fishing nets!
Having just the "fishing nets" wouldn't do, he still needed bait!
And that was readily available!
Lu Zhe put the sock containing Jiang Yao's dump inside the fishing net!
Then at various spots on the net, he weighed it down with rocks to prevent the "fishing net" from floating up!
With this done, next was to just wait for the little fish to swim inside!
Lu Zhe washed his hands thoroughly several times, then drank a coconut!
At this time, the setting sun went down in the west, the temperature became comfortable, and the tide had started going out!
It was time again for tide-chasing!
And this time, should they all go together?
Last time with three girls taking care of Tang Xiaoguo alone was already very inconvenient!
With two girls now injured, it would be even more difficult to provide care.
