Chapter 484 Island Survival (2)
After Zhu Pingan’s demonstration, Li Shu and Baozi’s little maid also picked a red azalea and removed the stamens like Zhu Pingan did. After taking a breath, they hesitated. He put the flower into his mouth at once.
There is no fragrance when smelling azalea. When you put it in your mouth, a faint sweet and sour taste surrounds your taste buds.
It’s really delicious.
After the little maid Baozi finished chewing a flower, her eyes lit up, and then she couldn't wait to pick another azalea and put it into her mouth in the same way.
Li Shu stopped eating and looked at the clusters of enthusiastically blooming azaleas on the slope. She narrowed her eyes slightly and said sincerely, "These flowers are so beautiful."
Azaleas Flower, it turns out this is azalea.
Zhuang Sheng was obsessed with butterflies in his morning dream, and looked forward to the emperor's spring heart in love with cuckoos. Li Shu couldn't remember who's manuscript she had read. She only remembered that it contained a motto about azaleas: "When you see azaleas blooming all over the mountain, it's the time when the god of love comes."
Now that azaleas are blooming all over the hillside, has the God of Love arrived?
Thinking of this, Li Shu silently turned her attention to Zhu Pingan, and then found a certain piece of wood that was as charming as a pig in a vegetable patch. Zhu Pingan had been picking flowers for about thirty years. A flower was wrapped in his clothes.
wood!
Li Shu rolled her eyes and complained.
Zhu Pingan picked the flowers and wrapped them in clothes, then led Li Shu and the little girl Baozi to the island. These azaleas were picked as food reserves. With food in hand, he did not panic. ah. Anyway, these azaleas are still edible, which is better than nothing.
"Uncle, what are we going to do?" Baozi's little maid asked, raising her face as she followed Zhu Ping'an to the island.
"Find food and a place to stay." Zhu Ping'an replied calmly. The first thing to solve when coming to such an isolated island are these two things, one is food and the other is housing. , both are indispensable.
"I was looking just now, but couldn't find anything to eat." The little maid Baozi said again.
Zhu Pingan shook the azaleas wrapped in his clothes and smiled without saying a word. The meaning is self-evident. The little maid of Baozi blushed when she saw this. Just now she said that she didn't find anything to eat, but her uncle still found edible azaleas. This shows that it's not that there is nothing to eat, but that she lacks the eyes to find something to eat, so Baozi The little maid blushed shyly.
"Nature is very generous. This island is lush and green, and it must be home to many nature's gifts of food. You have been at home for a long time, so it is normal for you not to know about it. When I was a child, I often went to the mountains with my father and brother, so I am more familiar with the mountains and forests." Zhu Pingan comforted him.
After walking up the slope, Zhu Pingan stood still for a moment, looked around, then chose a direction and led Li Shu and the little maid Baozi to continue walking forward.
Zhu Ping'an's ability to survive in the wild is much better than that of Li Shu and Baozi. In the past, I also gained a lot of knowledge from watching Mr. Bei's Wilderness Survival and other knowledge accumulated in modern times. Now I have followed Zhu's father after coming to Ming Dynasty. The eldest brother also gained a lot of experience going up the mountain, and his hands-on ability has also improved a lot, so facing this kind of isolated island, Zhu Pingan has some confidence.
Zhu Ping'an just stood on the slope and took a general look, and found that the mountain forest in one direction of the island was denser and taller than other places.
Generally speaking, streams develop in river valleys, and vegetation is dense in mountainous areas. Therefore, Zhu Ping'an guessed that there might be a stream in the dense and tall mountain forest.
To survive on this island, fresh water is indispensable. Although the island is surrounded by seawater and there is no shortage of water, this is seawater. The concentration of seawater is much higher than that of human blood. People will die of dehydration if they drink too much seawater. In addition, seawater contains many minerals, many of which are harmful to the human body. Harmful to human body. Zhu Pingan was empty-handed, lacked equipment, and did not have the conditions to distill seawater into fresh water.
So, finding fresh water on this island is the most important.
Walking on the island, Zhu Pingan felt a bit like Robinson Crusoe, but luckier than Robinson, he was accompanied by two girls. Sure enough, happiness all comes from comparison. , Zhu Pingan smiled slightly.
"Hey, what are you laughing at?" Zhu Pingan's smile made Li Shu roll her eyes.
"If we are lucky, we will find water." Naturally, Zhu Ping'an would not say what he had just thought, but took the opportunity to encourage the two of them.
"Water? I just walked a long way and couldn't find it." The little maid Baozi shook her head and expressed doubt, "My uncle just took a look at it, how could he be sure to find water? Move forward. Except for the grass, there are woods, and there is no water at all. Did you see the water? ”
Li Shu also expressed doubts about Zhu Pingan’s words. She had just looked at it. Just like Baozi’s little maid said, she couldn’t see anything except flowers, plants and trees. Zhu Pingan just glanced at it. He just chose a direction and said he was about to find water. She didn't believe it.
"In the direction ahead, there is a curve of woods that is denser and taller than the forests in other places. Generally speaking, trees grow better in places with sufficient water sources. The water source of the curve is probably a stream." Zhu Ping An pointed to a mountain forest in front of him and explained with confidence.
Li Shu followed Zhu Ping'an's gaze and found the difference. There was really an S-shaped curve in front of the forest that was very conspicuous. They were several heads higher than the forests elsewhere. Although Li Shu didn't know much about geography, she still had some common sense. After thinking about what Zhu Ping'an said, Li Shu began to believe it, and her eyes lit up.
Water would be great, she is also very thirsty.
Baozi’s little maid was still thinking about why the curved water source was a stream. But since the uncle and the young lady both said yes, that’s it, so Baozi’s little maid also lit up her eyes.
Zhu Pingan led Li Shu and Baozi maid toward the curved mountain forest. In fact, Zhu Pingan was not very sure that there were streams in the S-curved mountain forest. The higher mountains and forests might also be due to the terrain. Maybe it's an S-shaped hillside, I'm not sure. However, Zhu Pingan would not tell Li Shu and the little maid Baozi about this concern. The two of them had finally raised their hopes, and he did not want to pour cold water on them.
The island is relatively large, and the mountains and forests look close, but in fact they are quite far away.
Li Shu couldn't walk after walking for a while. Zhu Pingan regained a lot of strength after eating azaleas. He broke two branches and made two simple crutches. He gave one to Li Shu and Baozi. A little maid can save a lot of energy for the two of them walking in the mountains and forests. In addition, walking with a cane will be more stable.
Zhu Pingan himself also broke a wooden stick as a simple self-defense weapon in case there were any eyeless beasts in the forest.
Before arriving in the forest, Zhu Ping’an discovered a wolf tooth-shaped grass about 60 centimeters high under a tree. The grass was covered with white down and the leaves were serrated. . Zhu Ping'an was a little surprised when he saw this cluster of wolfberry grass.
This is mace grass. When I was a child, I was cut on my arm by gravel when I went up the mountain. Zhu's father picked this grass and applied it on himself. It stopped the bleeding very quickly and the effect was very significant.
Li Shu had such a big cut on her wrist and the bandage was still bleeding. With this mace, Zhu Pingan felt much more at ease.
"This is Macrophylla. It has a good hemostatic effect. In two days, your hand will be healed."
Zhu Ping'an said, then he ignored the Macrophylla and cut his hand and picked a piece of Macrophylla. Put the stem and leaves into your mouth and chew it. After chewing it, apply it on the wound on Li Shu's wrist, and then carefully wrap it up for Li Shu.
"It's so disgusting, you're drooling."
Li Shu pouted her little mouth and said in disgust, but a smile quietly bloomed on her face. (End of this chapter)
