Chapter 383 Life

On the deserted island, I began to thank Dulong Mountain for its ten years of life. When I was in Dulong Mountain, I needed to chop wood, carry water, farm, and occasionally repair houses. As for cooking, it was even more common.

These things naturally have no use in big cities, but in such places, they can be called the ability to survive in the wild.

When I was in Dulong Mountain, I saw others building houses. There is a kind of small house on the mountain that is the simplest, which is to split the big tree, dry it, and then nail it with nails. A wooden house is formed, but I have nothing now, so I can only give up this method.

Another type of thing is that when I first went up the mountain, I saw how the villagers at the foot of the mountain built old-fashioned houses. They were rammed earth houses. After the corners of the walls were laid, a wooden wall was built, and clay was placed between the wooden walls, and then smashed with a wooden hammer to solidify the clay. Some glutinous rice slurry and bamboo wood were even placed in the clay. After the crushing and drying, you could continue to work upwards. This is the so-called rammed earth.

I am just planning to build this kind of house because it is very sturdy and may not break even for decades. I don’t know how many years I will live on this deserted island, so I naturally have to prepare for it in the long run.

After the branches were peeled, I put them in the sun and dried them. Then I found a slightly flat place near the water source to clean up the weeds and roots, and formed a homestead. This process took me two days.

Then I dug the trenches and lay the foundation. The soil here is quite soft and I dig them quickly with a short sword. In two days, I dug them. The trenches are half a meter deep, about thirty centimeters wide, and the circumference is eighteen meters. When the house is built, it must be about twenty square meters, which is very good.

However, I underestimated the difficulty of building a house. It takes stones to lay the foundation, and no stones can be found nearby. I had to peel the bark, weave a basket, and then go to a cliff by the beach to carry stones.

This life is really hard. Even if I am strong and physically, I am very tired. I have to sleep at night and I don’t have the mood to meditate or something, so I don’t care about it.

I can carry more than 100 kilograms of stones with a basket at a time, and it takes about one kilometer to go back and forth. In addition, I pick up the stones for twenty minutes. I keep carrying them all day long. After five days, I broke seven baskets and finally accumulated a pile of stones.

But before laying the foundation, I took a break for three days. Because I was exhausted, the most important thing was that I had no source of energy. Every day, it was sea fish, which allowed me to consume my muscles quickly. I lost at least about ten kilograms than when I was in China before, which made my strong body weaker.

I knew I needed energy replenishment in urgent need, and it was often raining during this period, so I decided to go and have food. I spent a day traveling all over the island, found thirty-seven bird nests, took away more than twenty bird eggs, caught three seabirds, and killed two snakes, and roasted them all and ate them.

The easiest thing is to catch fish. In the reefs on the beach, I used a dagger to plant fish. The largest one was at least seven or eight kilograms, and the excess fish was smoked into dried fish. In three days, I left more than twenty dried fish as reserve food.

With these, I was going to lay the foundation and lay the stones I carried back in the ditch, put the big ones underneath and the small ones on it. The whole process took me five days.

Next, I used the bark to make hemp rope, tied the branches that had been prepared before, stood on the corner of the wall, put them on both sides, and put them in clay in the middle.

I also found the clay when I was looking for a bird's nest. I carried it back again. This time it was more tiring than carrying a stone. The clay was wet, and any basket was more than 100 kilograms. It was impossible to count how much clay was needed to build a wall, not to mention that it would need to be compacted at that time, so there would be more needed.

Until now, I feel a little regretful. Why do I need to do these major projects? Isn’t it good to build a thatched hut? It took a few days to get it done. But I was busy for so long before, and I was unwilling to give up, so I had to continue.

But I didn't carry clay all day long because my body couldn't bear it anymore. I worked for more than half a month and didn't have enough oil to replenish it. My body could only decompose the stored energy, so the muscles on my stomach were almost exhausted and even my ribs could be seen. I didn't want to let myself die of malnutrition just after I finished the house.

Improving the quality of life has become my biggest requirement at present, and the so-called quality of life is to eat more food and more fat.

The turning point of all this comes from the visit of a shark. Sharks are extremely dangerous for ordinary people, but in my eyes, they are synonymous with meat and fat. I don’t even think about whether this thing is a protective animal. Then I rushed into the sea with a dagger, then dealt with it with a sword, and dragged it to the island.

I don’t know how heavy the shark is, and I can’t tell what kind of variety it is. Anyway, there are about two or three hundred kilograms. I peeled the shark, removed the fish bones, refined half of the oil and grilled half, and even tasted sashimi once, but the taste was too fishy.

In one day, I got two coke bottles of oil. I didn't let go of the oil residue. I swallowed them all. The fish bones were used to make soup, and I didn't dare to waste them at all. The shark also comforted the little Taotie who almost ran away. Finally, it also ate some. You know, I didn't let it eat at all in those days before, and I didn't have enough food for myself.

Another day later, I was lucky. This time I caught two large seabirds. I don’t know what the hell is it. Anyway, it’s enough to eat it. The meat is sour and tastes bad. I also caught a few turtles. In order to drink turtle soup, I actually developed a new skill, which is to use clay to refine pottery.

The clay was kneaded into a basin, the shape of a bowl was dried, and then it was baked in the mound for a day and a night. The pottery came out, and dozens of them were made, and 90% were broken. However, I also had a basin and a bowl, which made me very happy. I drank a delicious meal of turtle soup that night.

I haven't forgotten to collect clay these days. I have saved a lot of it. I used a dagger to pull down a thick tree, cut off the branches, leaving hundreds of kilograms of trunks, and found the previous lifeboat, cut off the cables on it, made a wooden rack, tied it to the trunk, and then pulled up the trunk and put it down. The trunks weighing hundreds of kilograms of trunks were smashed on the clay, smashing the clay. This is the process of ramming the earth.

After using up the stored clay, one wall has been thirty centimeters. My goal is to ram the wall to 1.5 meters, and then use some clay bricks to build half a meter, and reach about two meters at a maximum. I estimated the project volume, which will take about three to five months.

After more than a month after I was wandering in the deserted island, I faced another problem, that is, the problem of eating salt. I had enough salt in my body before, and the sea fish and birds I ate also had a certain amount of salt on them. However, as the high-intensity work progressed, the body's salt was getting more and more. When one day I felt that I couldn't lift my strength, I thought of this problem.

Salt making is not very high technology. The difficulty is to make the fine salt we usually eat, but that is not considered for the time being, just do it first.

If you want to talk about salt, there is so much more in the sea, how to make it happen is the problem. Now that I have a basin, I use the method of boiling salt, go to the sea to get sea water, then pour it into the basin, burn it with charcoal fire, and evaporate the sea water, and what is left is salt.

Inject the brine into water, then remove the inner net of the backpack and filter it. Repeat it several times. The crystals left behind are salt. Because there are multiple filters, I don’t know if the salt obtained is fine salt and refined salt. Anyway, it’s just that I can eat it.

After eating a few meals of extremely strong food, my body finally has no shortage of salt. In addition to continuing to build a house, I plan to improve my quality of life and increase the diversity of food again.

········

In Yangcheng, Zhao Xuandu sat in the office where Liudian stationed in the office with a gloomy face. Listening to Chen Shan talking about the situation in Southeast Asia, half a month ago, Liudian finally could not keep the secret, so he told Zhao Xuandu the news about Li Xuanji.

For this reason, Zhao Xuandu visited and visited Yuyangcheng and Hangcheng many times to inquire about the news about his junior brother, but he knew nothing about his junior brother. Not only did Zhao Xuandu not know, but he didn't even know about the six places.

When Li Xuanji was in a boat crash, a few hours later, a typhoon formed. It was two days later when the typhoon left. Six departments spent a lot of money on this and sent people to search for it. After half a month, there was no news at all, they had to give up because the funds were not allowed.

"It's been more than a month, and I've never seen anyone in my life or a corpse after a month. Do you ignore it? My junior brother sacrificed his life for your business. Don't you need to give us an explanation?"

"Mr. Zhao, calm down. We searched for it and spent tens of millions to search for it. But in the vast ocean, I can't find any solution. Is there any way to do it? Is there any way to know?"

"hehe"

"Mr. Zhao, we will not forget Mr. Li's credit..."

Chen Shan said with a tough bullet and comforted him again. This time, when Li Xuanji had an accident, the six departments did not feel any touch. At least they would do what they promised before, such as the supervision of Zhao Xuandu's company, and the case of Li Xuanji's sister-in-law, etc., which would be helpful.

Speaking of which, Chen Shan himself was quite reluctant to part with Li Xuanji. Li Xuanji got along well with him and made him earn a lot of extra money. He got married a few days ago. The money he used at the wedding was made by Li Xuanji, and he didn't have to make any money in the future.

"snort"

Zhao Xuandu finally left furiously. He knew that there was nothing to count on these people. Li Xuanji was not someone else, so they naturally wouldn't care so much.

"Second"
