Chapter 111 No Supplies Again
Chapter 111 No Supplies Again
Before it got dark, Nanqu looked around the canal dug by Qin Kang and the others. Nanqu piled soil around the shed into a slope and spread the surrounding turf on it. After making sure that there would be no water even if it rained, he came to the downstream of the canal. After thinking about it, he dug two large pits here, covered them with leaves, and then pressed them with stones.
Only then did he feel relieved and returned to the fire, eating wild fruits with everyone else while waiting for the meat to be cooked.
Nanqu sat there and started to weave a hand-held basket with vines.
Because there was no salt, the food really couldn't be said to be delicious, but everyone was starving and knew now was not the time to be picky, so no one said anything.
Because they had to take care of the fire and couldn't put it out. In addition, they were worried that it would rain at night and wet the firewood. After a few people discussed it, they decided to put all the firewood they picked up in the shed, and everyone stayed in the shed for the night.
Nanqu tried his best to make the ground very flat, but it was still very uncomfortable. There was very little dry grass outside in the summer, and we couldn't go outside the base after dark, so everyone had to make do with this at night.
Considering that the fire could not be put out, everyone discussed how to work the night shift.
It was finally decided that one person would be on duty for two hours.
Nanqu took the initiative to ask to be on duty from 2 to 4 a.m., the most difficult time. When the others heard her say that, they no longer cared about it. They all chose their own shift time.
The weather can be really changeable at night, especially on the island.
It was about 12 o'clock in the evening, and it began to drizzle outside. Mi Le, who was on duty, was a little sleepy, but he was worried that the fire would go out, and he was also worried that the flames would burn into the shed and cause an accident, so he could only stay there to light the beans.
"It's raining?"
Nanqu's sudden words woke up Mi Le, who was tapping beans.
"Sister, why are you awake? It's not your turn yet." Nanqu took over Mi Le's shift, and Mi Le was just on duty, so it was not her turn yet.
Nanqu made a small gesture with his mouth, then pointed outside and walked out.
She took a big leaf to block the rain and looked around the shed. Although it was raining heavily, it was not a downpour, so she felt relieved that there would not be a lot of water that could not flow out.
She returned to the shed, took out the box she had taken from the production team, opened it and put it there to collect rainwater. After she finished with Nanqu, she returned to the shed. She saw Mile looking at her.
Nanqu explained quietly: "Save some water, otherwise it will be useless tomorrow."
Mile suddenly realized that they had relied on fruit to quench their thirst yesterday. No one had washed for the whole day. If there was no water, their life would be very difficult.
After all, we are public figures. It is really ugly to see us always looking dirty.
At least he would rather wash his face than drink water!
It was also at this moment that Mile realized what Shan Yuwen meant when he said Sister Qu was absolutely reliable.
There was no time, everyone used the burning wood to tell time, and each person only had to put in the firewood twice.
When Nanqu came in from outside, Mile was just setting the first fire, which meant there was still time to put in the firewood. Nanqu did not generously let Mile go to sleep, but returned to his seat to catch up on his sleep.
When Mile added firewood for the second time, Nanqu opened his eyes again.
"Let me do it, you go to sleep."
Mile agreed almost in a daze, then fell asleep.
Nanqu shook his head in amusement, worried that he would kick the fire when he stretched his legs. Nanqu could only go over and pull his legs to another position, but he still didn't wake up.
Qin Kang took over Nanqu's shift. After Nanqu added firewood for the second time, Qin Kang also woke up.
The rain outside had stopped. Nanqu went out to take a look and saw that the box was full of water, which made her feel relieved.
It was still early before dawn and Nanqu was not sleepy at all, so he simply lay there and began to practice to mobilize his internal energy.
Nanqu opened her eyes at daybreak. She took the basket she had woven and went to the beach. After a night of high tide, she could see stranded seafood everywhere in the pits of the reefs.
When Nanqu returned, the others were still asleep. Qin Kang looked at Nanqu and saw that she had got a basket of seafood and couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.
Fearing that drinking raw water would make one sick, Nanqu went back to the mountains after handing the seafood to Qin Kang.
This time, Nanqu found a bamboo forest. Looking at the thick bamboos, Nanqu knew that if he kept hiding his weakness, they wouldn't even be able to get water in. So he looked around and picked up a bamboo leaf.
[Am I blind? What just happened? ]
[The bamboo, the bamboo is cracked!!!]
[To be precise, the bamboo was cut into several pieces! ]
[Isn't it the point that it is cut from bamboo leaves? ]
[Sister Qu, you are exposed! ]
[Ahhh, I'm so excited, my sister Qu is finally no longer low-key! ]
[Are you crazy? Is this possible without being low-key? Why don't you be low-key for me? This is definitely fake! The director team is too much of a cheater.]
Nanqu picked up the bamboo joint and walked back.
As long as you are careful, it is possible to boil water with bamboo joints.
When Nanqu returned, everyone was awake. Seeing Nanqu taking the bamboo joint back, everyone was very happy. Although they were curious about where the bamboo joint came from, Nanqu looked calm, so they didn't dare to ask.
With bamboo joints, everyone finally had water to drink.
Not only that, there is also a lot of water in the two pits dug in the south area, enough for everyone to wash their faces properly.
As for the water in the box, they were not sure whether they could find supplies or water today. If it didn't rain, these might be what they needed in the next two days and should not be wasted.
After everyone had eaten and rested for a while, the program team delivered news about today's supplies.
Finally, everyone headed towards the destination of the mission again with great ambition.
This time, because everyone trusted Nanqu, they listened to Nanqu's opinions throughout the process, and they found their destination in less than half the time of yesterday.
However, what we saw was the scene where the supplies had been taken away.
Even boxes are not provided this time.
Seeing this scene, everyone felt discouraged.
But Nanqu felt that this was wrong.
But everyone quickly regrouped. Without supplies, they had nothing. They even spent the first day without anything. Although they had no supplies, at least they did not give up.
