Chapter 484 Island Survival (2)
After Zhu Ping'an's demonstration, Li Shu and Baozi's little maid also picked a red azalea, removed the stamens like Zhu Ping'an did, took a breath, hesitated, and put the flower into their mouths.
Smell the rhododendron has no fragrance, put it in the mouth, a faint sweet and sour taste surrounds the taste buds.
Really edible.
After chewing a flower, the little maid of Baozi's 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 didn't eat any more. Looking at the clusters of azaleas in full bloom on the slope, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and said sincerely, "This flower is so beautiful."
Rhododendron, it turns out that this is Rhododendron.
Zhuang Shengxiao dreamed of butterflies, Wangdi Chunxin entrusted cuckoos. Li Shu didn't remember who's letter she had read. She only remembered that it said that the motto of azaleas was when the mountain was full of azaleas in full bloom, it was the time when the **** of love came.
Now that the rhododendrons are blooming all over the hillside, has the **** of love come?
Thinking of this, Li Shu silently turned her gaze to Zhu Ping'an, and then found a certain piece of wood that didn't understand the style at all, like a pig in a vegetable field, pouted to pick flowers. Zhu Ping'an picked about thirty flowers, and used his The clothes were pocketed.
Wood!
Li Shu rolled her eyes in her heart and complained endlessly.
After picking the flowers, Zhu Pingan wrapped them up in clothes, and then led Li Shu and the little girl from Baozi to the island. The rhododendrons they picked were used as food reserves, so don’t panic if you have food in your hands. In any case, these rhododendrons are still edible, which is better than nothing.
"My lord, what are we going to do?" Baozi's little maid raised her face and asked as she followed Zhu Pingan to the island.
"Look for food and a place to live." Zhu Pingan replied calmly. The first thing to solve when you come to this isolated island are these two things. One is food and the other is housing. Both are indispensable.
"I was looking for it just now, but I couldn't find anything to eat." The little maid said again.
Zhu Ping'an shook the azalea wrapped in his clothes, smiled without saying a word, the meaning was self-evident. Baozi's little girl blushed when she saw this, she said just now that she didn't find anything to eat, but my uncle still found edible rhododendrons, so it wasn't that there was nothing to eat, but that she lacked the eyes to find something to eat, so Baozi The little maid blushed shyly.
"Nature is very generous. This island is lush and lush, and there must be a lot of natural gifts. You have lived at home for a long time, and it is normal for you not to understand. I used to go up the mountain with my father and brother when I was young, and I am familiar with the mountains and forests." Zhu Ping'an comforted.
After walking up the slope, Zhu Pingan stood still for a while, looked around for a while, then chose a direction, and led Li Shu and Baozi's little maid to continue walking.
Zhu Pingan's ability to survive in the wild is much stronger than Li Shu and Baozi's little maid. I used to watch Bei Ye's survival in the wilderness in modern times and have a lot of other knowledge. Now I came to Daming and followed Zhu's father and elder brother to go up the mountain. With a lot of experience, his hands-on ability has also improved a lot, so in the face of this isolated island, Zhu Ping'an also has a bit of confidence.
Just now, Zhu Ping'an stood on the **** and took a general look, and found that the mountains and forests in one direction of this island are 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 humans. Harmful to the human body. Zhu Pingan was empty-handed, lacked equipment, and did not have the conditions to distill seawater into fresh water.
Therefore, finding fresh water on this island is the most important.
Walking on the island, Zhu Ping'an felt a bit like Robinson Crusoe, but luckier than Robinson, he had two girls to accompany him. Sure enough, happiness comes from comparison. Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly laugh.
"Hey, what are you laughing at?" Zhu Pingan's smile made Li Shu roll her eyes.
"If we're lucky, we'll find water." Zhu Pingan naturally wouldn't say what he thought just now, but took the opportunity to encourage the two of them.
"Water? I walked a long way just now and couldn't find it." Baozi's little maid shook her head, expressing her doubts, "Young master just took a look, so how could you be sure to find water? There are only grasslands and forests ahead. You can't see the water at all. Did my uncle see the water?"
Li Shu also expressed doubts about Zhu Ping'an's words. She also read it just now, just like the little girl Baozi said, except for flowers and trees, she couldn't see anything at all. Zhu Ping just took a look, chose a direction and said She was about to find water, and she was a little bit unsure.
"In the direction ahead, there is a curved line of woods that is denser and taller than other mountain forests. Generally speaking, it is advantageous to grow trees in places with sufficient water sources. The water source of the curve is likely to be streams." Zhu Ping pointed to the front A mountain forest, explained with confidence and confidence.
Looking at Zhu Ping'an's eyes, Li Shu really found the difference. There is really an S-shaped curved mountain forest in front of it, which is very conspicuous. They are several heads higher than the mountains and forests in other places. Although Li Shu didn't understand geography, she still had common sense judgments. After thinking about what Zhu Pingan said, Li Shu believed it a little bit, and her eyes lit up.
It would be nice to have water, she is also very thirsty.
The little girl Baozi is still thinking about why the water source of the curve is a stream, but since both the uncle and the lady said yes, it is, so the little girl Baozi also opened her eyes.
Zhu Pingan led Li Shu and Baozi's little girl towards the curved mountain forest. In fact, Zhu Pingan was not very sure that there was a stream in the S-curve mountain forest. The hillside is also uncertain. However, Zhu Ping'an would not tell Li Shu and Baozi's little maid about this concern. The two of them finally had hope, and he didn't want to pour cold water on them.
The island is relatively large, and the mountain forest looks close, but it is actually far away.
Li Shu couldn't walk anymore after walking a certain distance. Zhu Pingan regained a lot of strength after eating azaleas. He broke off two branches and made two simple crutches. He gave one to Li Shu and Baozi. With one little maid, it would save a lot of energy for the two of them to walk in the mountains and forests, and it would be more stable to walk with crutches.
Zhu Ping'an himself also broke a wooden stick as a simple self-defense weapon, in case there are any beasts without eyes in the forest.
Before he reached the forest, Zhu Pingan found a tuft of spike-like grass about 60 centimeters high under a tree. The grass was covered with white fluff and the leaves were sawtoothed. Zhu Pingan was a little surprised when he saw this cluster of spike grass.
This is wolf tooth 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 kind of grass and applied it to himself. It stopped bleeding very quickly and the effect was very obvious.
Li Shu's wrist was cut so big, and the bandage was still bleeding. With this wolf tooth grass, Zhu Ping'an felt much more at ease.
"This is Wolf Tooth Grass, which has a good hemostatic effect. After two days, your hands will be fine."
Zhu Pingan said, and then ignored the wolf tooth grass to scratch his hand, picked a section of wolf tooth grass stem, put it in his mouth and chewed it with the leaves, chewed it and applied it on the wound on Li Shu's wrist, and then carefully gave it to Li Shu. Shu wrapped it up.
"It's disgusting, you're drooling."
Li Shu pouted her small mouth and said in distaste, but there was a smile on her face.
