Chapter 258 Star's Holographic Wilderness Survival 3
It’s not that she hasn’t lived on the island before, but this time He Fei was not there, so she needed to build a shelter by herself. She didn’t have any problems, she was just a little tired.
There are no coconuts on the short coconut trees, and there are traces of picking, which seems to be picked by them.
But it’s okay. Looking at the coconuts on the tall coconut trees, they will all be hers in the future.
I walked to a piece of land, which was not far from the sea and could be used as a shelter. I looked at the compass, noted the direction, and continued walking. I saw vines wrapped around a big tree, so I cut them off with a knife. I picked the herbs directly.
After walking for so long, I still haven't seen a drop of fresh water. I have to keep steaming water, but it's troublesome because I don't have a good container.
She saw a row of banana trees. There were no bananas, not even banana flowers, but they were still edible. She cut down the banana stalks and ate the core inside the stalks. This was her backup food.
She first picked a lot of leaves, took out a skirt and tore it into strips, took out a strip of cloth and passed it through the banana leaves to fix it, and then carried it on her back. Now she was carrying so many things on her back, her shoulders must be broken and painful.
Seeing a row of maple trees, Zhang Xiaojia's mouth twitched. What's this for?! There are maple trees on the island!!! This is her backup sugar water.
She saw dandelions. She had lived in the north for a while and knew that dandelions could be eaten in any way. They were old and could be cooked or made into tea. The roots of dandelions could be used as medicine for anti-inflammatory purposes or they could be roasted, dried, and ground into powder to make tea. The taste was a bit like coffee. Zhang Xiaojia simply dug them all up, took out a skirt, wrapped them up, and put them in her backpack.
Seeing a normal field of foxtail grass, Zhang Xiaojia has no interest at all. She will never eat it unless it is absolutely necessary.
Looking at the time, I saw that I had been walking for 3 hours and was already tired and hungry. I couldn’t touch the water and food, so I went back to the beach.
On the way back, I saw some herbs that can repel insects and snakes, so I picked them directly. Since there was no space, I took out the skirt from my bag, tied a knot on the skirt with a rope and used it as a bag, and put the herbs in it.
She put down everything, went to the coconut tree, shook it vigorously, and ran! !
Seeing the coconuts falling one by one and not hitting him, Zhang Xiaojia breathed a sigh of relief and went to carry all the things on his back, holding the coconuts one by one.
Zhang Xiaojia took all the coconuts back to the cave. They looked very good and no one in the cave dared to steal them. Alas, he couldn't hit anyone.
She put all the things she had picked up into the cave. The ground of the cave was covered with rocks, and she would get sick if she slept there directly. She immediately went to find a lot of hay, threw it into the cave, and sat there for 5 minutes.
She had to go to the beach and put away the six fresh water collection devices. She had been using the fresh water collection devices from 10:30 to 4:30, for six hours. She removed the stones from the plastic bag and handled the plastic bag carefully so that the sand would not dirty the container inside. She took out the container, which contained only 70 ml of water. She drank it slowly and felt that she had strength again.
She carefully poured the remaining water from the container in the fresh water device into the plastic bottle, and none of the five bottles were full.
Zhang Xiaojia looked at the sea water, which had not yet receded. He went to the edge of the rock and saw many Buddha's hand clams in the crevices of the rock, and densely packed mussels on the shady side of the rock.
Zhang Xiaojia saw a 5-liter oil bottle and an iron can floating in the sea. She put down her bag and jumped into the sea without saying a word. She picked up these things. These were all materials.
After getting ashore, Zhang Xiaojia quickly dug mussels and Buddha's hand clams on the beach. She could only wash these clams in the sea water. Returning to the cave, she was really tired. She sat down to rest for half an hour. The weather was hot and she didn't feel comfortable at all. Soaking in the sea water made her whole body covered with salt.
The iron can looks small, round, and 30 cm in diameter. When you open the lid, you will find it is also high. There is a steam pot shape in the middle, and when you put it on top, it can become a simple distilled water device. The inside of the iron can is actually integrated. You can use it to cook rice, and you won’t get sick even if you eat it uncleanly.
Zhang Xiaojia went to move a lot of stones and actually found a super thin stone, which he could use as teppanyaki.
She made a simple stove according to the size of the iron pipe. After thinking for a while, she ran to the beach again. After searching for a long time, she finally saw a square rock that was relatively clean. She carried it on her shoulders and returned to the cave.
Place this rock inside the cave and use it as a table.
There are mussels and clams in the pot, put them on the stone stove, pour in the water collected today, and burn firewood.
I picked up the oil barrel I had just picked up from the sea, went to the beach to fill it with sea water, and then distilled it to drink. I was so thirsty.
Zhang Xiaojia took out all the herbs and looked at the wound on his shoulder. This time the hologram was very real. It was red, swollen, and the skin was broken. It hurt so much. He took out a piece of cloth to wipe it clean, then crushed the herbs and applied them on the wound.
Place half of the insect and mosquito repellent herbs next to the stone stove to dry. Let's prepare them simply! These herbs will protect you from mosquito and snake bites at night. The three caves are not far from each other, so we'll make a simple device so you can sleep comfortably at night.
I saw that the shells in the pot were cooked, took some away, and threw the remaining half of the insect repellent and mosquito repellent grass into the pot to burn.
Zhang Xiaojia was really starving, so he wolfed down the food. "Old Swan, it's so delicious! I haven't suffered in several lifetimes." He ate the whole pot of mussels and Buddha's hand clams, leaving not a single drop of the soup.
After a satisfying meal and a few drinks, Zhang Xiaojia felt too sleepy to open her eyes, but she didn't dare go to sleep directly because she had drunk less than 500 ml of water that day and was already dehydrated. So she decided to make a seawater distiller to obtain fresh water.
Zhang Xiaojia took out the lid of a tin can, drilled a hole in the middle, and painstakingly shaped it into the shape of a steamer. It was a massive undertaking, and it took her considerable effort to complete. However, due to her lack of precision, the lid looked a bit tattered. But she did her best to smooth out the rounded edges and wrapped it in plastic.
Next, Zhang Xiaojia filled the can with seawater, turned the lid of the gas cooker upside down, and placed the ultra-thin stone slab on top. This created a simple seawater distillation device, which heated the seawater to produce steam, which was then cooled to produce pure fresh water. Although this device was crude, it was a crucial step in solving Zhang Xiaojia's water problem while trying to survive on a deserted island.
Zhang Xiaojia took off her jumpsuit. She didn't dare take it off when she went to the island during the day because she was afraid of insects. Now this was her safe zone. The mosquitoes were gone. There were blisters on the soles of her feet, which she pricked with the tip of a knife and applied herbal medicine.
Sitting in the cave and watching the sunset over the sea is still very beautiful. It is only 7:30 and the sun is setting.
I took out the solar lamp and found a way to hang it up.
The sea water still showed no sign of receding, and it seemed that the tide would recede later. There was chirping in the cave next door, and it seemed that they would not go to sleep for a while, so she took a nap for an hour.
