After saying that, Nanqu put the he shou wu into her basket and then found another target.
And so, Nanqu dug as she went, especially for medicinal herbs, where she would offer a brief explanation or two, and would also specifically remind everyone about herbs that couldn't be picked in China. However, because it was a private island, Nanqu was having a great time digging.
Along the way, Nanqu's basket was filled with all sorts of things, including various herbs, seasonings, and even ginger and wild onions.
At the same time, they inadvertently set up several traps, turning the variety show into an educational program.
Nan Qu was quite relaxed here, but the viewers in the live stream were anxiously calling for her:
"Sister Qu, let's stop looking, our house has been burgled!"
【Yes, my son is almost crying. Sister Qu, please help us comfort him.】
[Waaaaah, who is it? So mean!]
If I find out who's behind this, I'll draw a circle and curse their ancestors for eight generations!
Nan Qu was unaware of what was happening in the live stream; she continued working according to her own plan. Suddenly, Nan Qu stopped. Everyone thought she was going back, but instead, they saw her run towards a pile of stones.
She picked and chose, and finally settled on a stone that looked to weigh at least thirty pounds. Then, she took out a stone axe from her basket and started hammering and chiseling at it.
The stones used to make axes in Nanqu are specially sourced; they are extremely hard and can smash other stones as easily as smashing tofu.
In addition, Nan Qu used her strength skillfully, and soon, she managed to carve a hole in a large rock. And this hole looked exactly like a pot.
Everyone in the live stream couldn't help but gasp in surprise, staring in disbelief at the scene before them.
Of course, some people explain that different stones have different textures and levels of hardness, so hitting one stone with another isn't impossible. However, the prerequisite is that you understand the properties of the stones.
In particular, not all stones are suitable for making pots, because some will shatter, and some will dissolve when exposed to water after being calcined for a long time.
Nan Qu not only found a suitable stone for making a pot, but also a sharper, more durable stone for making a stone axe. It must be said, her knowledge base is truly impressive.
Just when everyone thought Nanqu would continue searching because water resources had not yet been found.
But to my surprise, she started walking back.
Moreover, on the way back, there were even wild rabbits caught in the traps she had set. When she returned, Nan Qu dismantled all the traps she had set, because there were other people besides her who would be passing by, and this would prevent others from accidentally stepping into the traps.
When Nanqu returned, the sun was already high in the sky. She assumed everyone was resting there, but to her surprise, the shed had collapsed, and they were repairing it.
"what happened?"
Upon seeing Nanqu arrive, everyone looked indignant: "We didn't know that when we came back, we found that all the fresh water we had stored, along with the boxes, was gone, and even the shed was in this state."
Nan Qu's face also darkened, and she looked directly at the cameraman and asked, "Did you arrange for someone to do this?"
Trying to make things difficult for them was impossible. However, the cameraman shook his head. Nan Qu's mind raced.
First, she ruled out the guests on the other side. It wasn't a matter of their character, but rather that they, like Nan Qu and the others, were in front of cameras and participated in variety shows to boost their popularity, which would ruin their reputation.
Of course, they could also use the competition as an excuse to deliberately trip up other competitors. While friendship comes first and competition second, this isn't a race, and intentionally tripping up a fellow competitor is against the rules.
However, the timing doesn't make sense. Although the other side is very likely to have arrived at the supply point before them, they will definitely run into each other on the way from the supply point to Nanqu's base.
When Qin Kang and his group returned, they probably didn't encounter the people returning from the other side. If they had, their attitude wouldn't have been the same.
Seeing their shed in such a mess, with water spilled on the leftover firewood and stones inside, and even the bamboo tubes gone, anyone would be furious.
However, Nan Qu knew that getting angry would be useless at this moment, and she needed to calm everyone down first.
"We still have plenty of time today, and with yesterday's experience, things will go more smoothly. We were originally planning to have a proper lunch, but it looks like that's not going to happen. Let's have some fruit, rest a bit, and then discuss what to do this afternoon."
Everyone was indeed exhausted, especially since they hadn't eaten salt all day and their legs were starting to feel weak.
Hearing Nan Qu say this, everyone sat down on the firewood they had brought back that day.
Seeing everyone so dejected, Nan Qu comforted them, "It's alright, out with the old, in with the new. Perfect timing, since no one slept very well yesterday, I was thinking, should we set up another tent today?"
Mao Ping frowned and said, "Two sheds? Isn't that a bit too big a project? And how will we keep an eye on the fire at night?"
Nan Qu said, "Fire is simple. We'll make a ground stove today. As long as we make sure the matches don't get wet, we don't have to worry about the fire going out. With two sheds, everyone can at least stretch their legs out when they sleep at night. Also, we haven't had any supplies, so we need to find a way to clear some out. One shed is a bit inconvenient."
Mao Ping fell silent. Although she wasn't spoiled, wearing the same underwear for two days was already her limit. To be honest, she felt incredibly itchy all over.
Qin Kang, who was standing nearby, asked, "So you're saying you've found water?"
Miler and Chen Qing, who were standing nearby, both lit up when they heard this: "Really? How far is it from here?"
Nan Qu nodded: "Really, but whether it's far or not isn't a matter of distance."
Everyone was puzzled. The live stream audience and the production team were completely bewildered: "What did we just miss? When did Nanqu find fresh water?"
The staff member who had been specifically monitoring the situation in Nanqu immediately replied: "No, there has been no water resource around Nanqu."
If that's the case, why would Nanqu say that?
