Although I didn't want to pay attention to Bai Wei, I couldn't just watch him go hungry.
Moreover, their house is still collapsed, and for the time being, they lie under the tree roots next to it every day. They dare not go to sleep in the house, for fear that the house will collapse and people will die.
Chen Jian and I discussed this matter, and we should help them out; we can't let them be homeless like this.
But there are many kinds of help, and I need to make Bai Wei and the others understand that I don't always help them for no reason.
So Chen Jian and I planned to have these colleagues not only collect the surrounding trees and make wooden wedges to help them re-secure their houses, but also help us find wild vegetables for a few days.
Firstly, we do need to store some vegetables to eat, since green vegetables contain a lot of vitamins, and we must take good care of our bodies here.
However, because these wild vegetables are not easy to preserve, they rot as soon as the weather gets hot. Chen Jian's suggestion yesterday about pickling vegetables gave me a lot of inspiration. We need to split into two groups. On one hand, we will send them to find wild vegetables, and on the other hand, I will take Chen Jian and Wang Ping to refine sea salt.
In this way, once all the wild vegetables have been found, we can pickle them in clay jars. We can also use this method to pickle some meat for future use.
Because of the rainy season on this deserted island, we still have no clue what to do. It seems to depend on its mood; when the weather is good, there are no clouds in the sky, and when the weather is bad, it pours rain in an instant.
Therefore, we must leave ourselves a way out for everything, to avoid a situation like the last time when we were caught in a heavy rain and even lacked food.
To pickle these vegetables, all we need to do is find the ingredients and let Wang Xiaoxiao and the others do it.
However, Bai Wei's house was a huge project because their entire wooden house had collapsed. If they wanted to fix it, they would have to dismantle everything that had been built and rebuild it on the original foundation.
Wang Ping thought this was too troublesome and asked if we could just use vines to support the houses, like placing them in a container, with some wooden sticks on the branches around them for support. That way, the houses wouldn't collapse unless there was a torrential downpour or a strong wind.
But I still feel that this is somewhat unsafe. If there is a strong wind, their lives will not be guaranteed.
Although I don't like Bai Wei, the other colleagues are pitiful.
Wang Ping's leg had improved considerably. Chen Jian and I left Wang Ping at the camp to make wooden wedges and to protect the women in the camp. Chen Jian and I took a large mud pot to the seaside to boil salt.
This time, it took us two whole days to refine sea salt, and we filled an entire large vat.
This salt is enough for us to eat for several months.
Chen Jian was very happy and said that if he could catch some short-legged birds when he got back, he could make some pickled chicken to eat.
In that case, will food still have some flavor in the future?
I know this kid's head is full of Liu Jiaojiao right now. Liu Jiaojiao likes to eat those short-legged birds, so naturally he wants to give Liu Jiaojiao the best.
I looked at Chen Jian and joked, "How come your relationship is getting better and better? Doesn't Liu Jiaojiao ever get angry with you? Don't you ever argue?"
Chen Jian rolled his eyes at me: "Our relationship isn't as complicated as yours. We don't argue that much. And Jiaojiao is so feminine. She always speaks to me softly, and I'm afraid that if I raise my voice, I'll scare her. Sometimes I think, if we hadn't had this accident and ended up on this deserted island, what have I done to deserve such a wife who only has eyes for me?"
After listening to Chen Jian's lament, I couldn't help but feel that if I hadn't been stranded on this deserted island, I would have been far beyond the reach of a beauty like Xiao Qiang.
Not to mention a delicate little girl like Xu Wei.
But the world is a strange place. We were shipwrecked and ended up on this nameless desert island. Things became so difficult, but we still managed to survive. And now I've even found love twice.
On the way back to camp with Chen Jian and me carrying the salt jars, Chen Jian told me that he still wanted to go to that jade mine to find some ore and make some small ornaments to give to Liu Jiaojiao.
I wanted to make some jade hairpins for a few women last time, but I had to stop because of other things, and I haven't finished them yet.
Hearing Chen Jian say this, I quickly nodded: "There's no rush. Anyway, only a few of us know about that jade mine. After we've dealt with Bai Wei's camp, we'll go to the mine and think it over properly. I also want to get a few more jade pillows; it must be very comfortable to put them under my head."
Chen Jian sighed, "If we had discovered such a large jade mine in the city, we would have become billionaires long ago."
But here, even if these jade stones are of the best quality, we can only use them to make some things that are within our capabilities, which is a real pity.
When they returned to the mountaintop, Bai Wei and his group had already begun demolishing their house.
Although Wang Ping was very unhappy, he still listened to my instructions and helped them dismantle the planks, telling them where to place them and what to make later.
Just as we were talking and looking at how to make these wooden houses even sturdier,
Suddenly, a shout came from down the mountain. The sound was very piercing and disappeared extremely quickly. I couldn't even tell what was making the howl.
Chen Jianli immediately pulled a gun from his house and stood next to me.
"Brother Sihai, what is that thing? Why is it screaming so pitifully? Could it be a person?"
Wang Ping frowned and shook his head after hearing Chen Jian's words.
“How could it be a person? Nobody knows about this new camp except Lin Xubo. But didn’t those foreigners say that Lin Xubo had disappeared? I guess that bastard is already dead. Besides, how could Lin Xubo’s voice make such a clear howl?”
"But the sound is so close to us, could it be that they want to come up the mountain?"
Hearing Chen Jian say that, I also felt a little uneasy, so I took out my gun and stood on the mountaintop to look down. But when I looked down, I realized that those people down the mountain weren't anyone at all!
It turned out to be a pack of wolves hunting a brown bear!
