After seeing Su Ya leave, Yan Jingqing greeted Su Linxi and said he would protect Su Ya. Su Linxi was worried when she saw that her sister was leaving alone, but thinking that they were classmates and should be reliable, she agreed.
Suya walked ahead, and she sensed that someone was following her.
So they stopped.
Why are you here?
"I'm worried about you. What are you going to do?"
"There are still two directions we haven't explored. I want to know if they're also seawater. Also, we need to find some herbs; there are a lot of mosquitoes here. It wouldn't be good if we got bitten."
Yan Jingqing was surprised that Su Ya was so thoughtful, even considering these things. She truly deserved to be the girl he admired.
"You go to the south, I'll go to the north, and then we'll meet at the tent area in a bit."
"Okay, if there's any edible fruit, remember to bring it back."
"good."
So the two of them split up and went in opposite directions.
Suya walked quickly when she was alone, and soon reached the end of the forest, where, just as she had expected, there was the sea.
So Suya returned the way she came, and when she came back she saw that there were some herbs she needed, as well as mosquito repellent plants. Suya picked a lot of them and took them back with her.
When Su Ya returned, she saw that Yan Jingqing had also come back. He had picked some fruit, one of which was purple and looked particularly delicious.
The fruit has already been washed clean at the beach.
Just as Chu Kexin was about to start eating, Su Ya stepped forward and knocked the fruit out of his hand.
Chu Kening was a little unhappy and immediately started cursing. They had been starving since they had breakfast in the morning and hadn't eaten anything since. They had finally managed to find some fruit, but they weren't allowed to eat it.
What do you mean by that?
"poisonous."
Those two words terrified them.
Chu Kening was also terrified. So it was Su Ya who saved them.
"Eating this fruit will make you foam at the mouth. It won't kill you, but you have to understand that we're on an island, and that could be fatal."
Upon hearing this, the others quickly threw the purple fruit they were holding far away.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know these fruits were poisonous."
"It's alright, it was my oversight."
"Second brother, I saw coconut trees over there on my way here. Could you take some people to get some coconuts?"
Su Linxi quickly led her people there. Yan Jingqing also joined the group.
They quickly brought back seven or eight coconuts.
Carefully open the coconut with a knife, then pour the coconut water into a pot.
They then used a knife to cut open the coconuts. The coconut shells were very hard, and it took Su Linxi and the others a long time to open one.
Then Suya couldn't stand it anymore.
So I took the coconut shell after I poured out the coconut water, and just like cutting tofu, I quickly cut the coconut shell in half, and it was neat and tidy, without even any splinters.
"Clean out the coconut meat inside; this is our eating bowl."
"But sister, what are we going to use to make instant noodles? We can't just use sparkling water."
"No need, I'll filter the water later."
As we all know, the salt concentration in seawater is four times that in the human body, and the maximum concentration of salt excreted by the human kidneys cannot exceed 2%, while the salt concentration in seawater is about 3.5%! If we drink seawater directly, it will immediately cause a large amount of water loss from cells. In severe cases, it can lead to dehydration symptoms, so seawater should not be consumed directly.
"I need a few empty bottles."
So Su Linxi and the others opened the sparkling water and handed one bottle to each of them. They quickly finished ten empty bottles.
Then Suya lit the collected firewood and burned it into black charcoal. She then broke the charcoal into small pieces and placed a layer of it under the mouth of each plastic bottle, followed by a layer of small stones. After that, she added some fine sand.
At the same time, he took a softer twig from somewhere, twisted it into a circle with brute force, and drew a circle around the mouth of each bottle. The twisted twig was just the right size to fit through the circle, and soon the ten bottles were cleverly strung together.
Meanwhile, Suya dug a large pit in the sand and had them find several large rocks nearby. They set it up, with gaps at the bottom of the rocks, where they placed dry branches.
"Keep collecting branches. The more the better."
Suya continued.
The others quickly went to collect the branches.
The pot they had chosen was placed on the stone.
There's no water in the pot. It's empty. The coconut juice from before has already been drunk up.
Suya used the branches she had prepared to tie the plastic bottles together, and tied them together with nails and several straight, thick branches to form a support. Then she stuck this support into the sand. Using the needle she had brought, she quickly cut a hundred holes into several plastic bottles. Don't underestimate the small holes; a hundred holes still add up.
At this time, seawater was brought in from the seaside.
Slowly pour the water into it.
Then you see water slowly filtering out from inside; the water was a bit dark at first.
About an hour later, the water that flowed out became less murky and increasingly clear.
Everyone knows that salt water will look somewhat cloudy.
Suya then dug the branch frame out of the sand.
Then I placed the stand on top of the pot I had just set up, so that the plastic bottle was facing the pot directly. Then I continued to fill it with water.
By this time, the water in the pot has filtered out most of the salt.
Because many bottles were used and many holes were made, the pot was filled with water after an hour.
Suya tasted it, and now the water had almost no saltiness.
Then they lit the branches under the pot to bring the water to a boil.
Once the water boiled, they cooked 10 servings of noodles in it. Luckily, the instant noodles provided by the production team came with seasoning.
After the food was cooked, Yan Jingqing had already made ten pairs of chopsticks out of tree branches.
Suya didn't expect him to know this too.
Yan Jingqing had lived in the wild before, so he knew some basic common sense.
They didn't get to eat their first meal of the day until 6 p.m.
Everyone was starving.
The noodles were finished quickly.
While Su Ya was cooking noodles, she went to find some fruit. These were all edible fruits. The tents were already set up. Except for Chu Kening and Chu Kexin, who slept in one tent, everyone else slept in single tents.
Suya caught a few more fish at the beach and grilled them.
Fish in the sea are naturally salty, so they taste delicious without any seasoning.
As Su Linxi ate noodles, fruit, and fish, the second brother sighed, "Little sister, if it weren't for you here today, I think we would all be starving. At the very least, we wouldn't have been able to solve the water problem."
Suya: "Have you found any clues?"
