Having a plan in mind, Chen Zhe did it as soon as he said it.

Although it did not rain throughout the day today, the weather in the rainy season changes a lot, and heavy rain comes at any time, and the island will usher in the next sudden rain at any time.

So for Chen Zhe and Xiao Qiao, it is crucial to quickly build a shelter for wind and rain.

Even if the average temperature of islands during the rainy season is above 20 degrees, heavy rain is often accompanied by strong winds. Once the contestant is wet by the rain and blown by the strong wind, the surface temperature of the human body will drop rapidly, causing a series of risks.

Keeping your body dry is the most important thing in heavy rainy weather.

This also shows that the establishment of a temporary shelter camp is urgent.

After having the plan to build a camp, the first step is to choose a site.

Chen Zhe and Xiao Qiao were strolling around the corner, looking for a suitable location for camping.

There happened to be a bush about thirty or forty meters away from the hot spring. If all the shrubs are cut down, it will be a spacious open space.

Seeing this bush, Xiao Qiao immediately pulled Chen Zhe's sleeve and said to him: "Chen Zhe, look, what's the location? If all these grasses are pulled out, a good wooden house should be built."

However, Chen Zhe shook his head and said negatively: "No."

"No?" Xiao Qiao was a little disappointed, but also a little puzzled. "Why can't it be? Is the position not wide enough?"

"No, it has nothing to do with whether the position is wide or not."

Chen Zhe patiently explained,

"Since it is a temporary camp for the rainy season, it should have some characteristics that are based on the rainy season, such as wind and rain prevention, such as isolating moisture, and it is best to prevent floods and disasters.

Although our house is built on the mountain, the depressions on the mountain will also accumulate water. In addition, the moisture on the ground is too heavy. If we build a big bed and put it on a wolf skin mat, it will definitely get damp."

"What should I do? According to what you said, our house cannot be built on the ground at all? It can only be built on the sky?" Xiao Qiao said depressedly.

Chen Zhe smiled and said, "Built in the sky...I am not a god, how can I build a house in the sky?"

"What should I do?" Xiao Qiao was completely confused by Chen Zhe.

Chen Zhe smiled and said, "In fact, the rainy season is not a specialty of this island. Many places will have rainy seasons and will be threatened by floods and disasters.

The indigenous people in these areas have accumulated generations of experience and have gradually developed a kind of house that is moisture-proof and moisture-proof, and can also avoid flood disasters. This kind of house is a tree house."

"Tree House?" Xiao Qiao suddenly realized when she heard this and said, "It's just to build the house on the tree, right?"

"Yes." Chen Zhe nodded and said, "Only by building the house directly on trees, ordinary floods will not flood the house. In addition, this can also isolate the moisture on the surface and prevent the body or some living reserves from getting damp."

"So that's how it is..." Xiao Qiao then understood.

But after a little thought, she asked another question.

"But Chen Zhe, our camp ended up with the four of us living together... The four of us plus the bacon, ham, etc., are such a big portion. Can the tree house hold such a heavy portion?"

"No problem," Chen Zhe said, "as long as you find the right trees and build a reasonable building structure, the load-bearing capacity of the tree house can be guaranteed. Island residents usually use ancient banyan trees or thick Bodhi trees to build tree houses. The trunks of this type of tree are extremely thick and can withstand the tree houses that live in a family."

Having talked about this, Chen Zhe suddenly pointed forward and said, "Look, isn't there a very suitable banyan tree over there?"

Xiao Qiao looked up and saw that there was indeed a very thick banyan tree at the end of the bushes. Its lush branches covered the sky and its solid trunk looked like a giant pillar supporting the sky.

If you build a tree house on this tree, then the load-bearing capacity will definitely be fine.

"That's great," said Xiao Qiao, "Let's set up the new camp here."

"Okay." Chen Zhe nodded and took the lead in walking towards the big banyan tree.

After approaching the banyan tree, Chen Zhe did not rush to climb up first, but instead carefully observed the surrounding natural environment around the banyan tree.

The first thing to be sure is whether there are any habitats for wild animals around the banyan tree, or there are some poisonous insects, poisonous snakes and the like.

Once you encounter these dangerous creatures living nearby, Chen Zhe would either drive away these vicious neighbors, or give up this big banyan tree and look for other Feng Shui treasures.

Otherwise, if they are accompanied by wild animals or poisonous insects, they will have a headache in their future lives.

Fortunately, this big banyan tree did not disappoint Chen Zhe. There were no traces of wild beasts surrounding it. In addition, Chen Zhe did not find any shadows of poisonous insects and snakes, which shows that the vicinity of the banyan tree is temporarily safe.

After confirming this, the second thing Chen Zhe needs to do is to find freshwater resources nearby.

An excellent campground cannot be too far from freshwater resources, otherwise a lot of time will be wasted in daily water withdrawal.

Fortunately, a river flows down from the top of the mountain not far from this tree. This river is likely to be the upper reaches of a certain water source at the foot of the mountain. In this way, the problem of water source will be solved.

After investigating this, Chen Zhe finally selected the big banyan tree as the location of the new camp. Then he climbed to the branches of the big banyan tree with a blood-drinking knife and began to build a wooden house.

The trunk of the banyan tree is thick and the branches are quite wide. The branches around the trunk often extend to the sides in parallel, which is very suitable for supporting the wooden house.

After Chen Zhe climbed up the banyan tree, he looked around the branches and drew upwards, cutting off the branches that were built by the wooden house, leaving branches that grew parallel and thick enough.

In this way, Chen Zhe had a general plan for the scale and shape of the future cabin, and then he could cut down wood for processing and construction.

He jumped off the banyan tree and took Xiao Qiao to the nearby area to find wood.

There are also some other types of trees growing near the banyan tree, which can be cut down and used as timber.

By the time of dusk and sunset, Chen Zhe had cut out four or five thick thighs of wood. He and Xiao Qiao moved the wood back to the tree of the big banyan tree and began the next round of processing of the wood.

One side edge of these wood is cut into a wedge shape by Chen Zhe, and wedged directly into branches in parallel to the big banyan tree itself. In this way, the wood cut down by Chen Zhe will fit together with the branches of the big banyan tree itself, forming a stable and reliable aerial platform in the air.

Due to limited time, before dark, Chen Zhe only built an aerial platform with an area of ​​about six or seven square meters, which will become part of the pedestal of the tree house.

The complete base consists of wedge-shaped wood embedded in the trunk and branches of the banyan tree, and the tree house will be built on the base, which is the floor of the tree house.

The remaining works will continue tomorrow, and building a tree house is destined to be a matter of no matter overnight.

In order to avoid rain, Chen Zhe temporarily used four branches to stand on the four corners of the aerial platform, and then used broad-leaved trees and strong leaves to cover the top to form a simple roof.

With the simple roof and dense leaves of the banyan tree itself, it should be no problem to block the rain.

Although the tree house has not yet been built, the temporary shelter has been built.

In the rainy season, mosquitoes are dense in the forest, especially when it is not raining, huge, unknown flying insects are flying everywhere on the branches.

Xiao Qiao was so scared by these flying insects that she was so beautiful that she hid behind Chen Zhe several times.

Chen Zhe was not afraid of these dangerous little things, because he had already mastered the method to drive them away.

Climb down the banyan tree and find a thousand-layer tree with lush branches and leaves nearby. Then grab a handful of the thousand-layer tree leaves and light them with a bonfire. Put the burning leaves under the shelter and grill them with thick smoke. The mosquitoes naturally disperse.

The leaves of the Thousand Layers Tree are natural mosquito coils, and they are inexhaustible in this woods.

Because the trees are dense, the light is dim, so it is extremely dark.

After Chen Zhe finished proposing the "natural mosquito coil", night basically fell.

After climbing back to the shelter on the banyan tree, Xiao Qiao had already taken out the dry food they carried. The two of them worked hard all day and were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs.

"Give it to Chen Zhe, eat something." Xiao Qiao picked a piece of bacon of the best quality and handed it to Chen Zhe, and said.

In the camp, the girls had developed a habit of giving the best food to Chen Zhe first.

This is because as a man, Chen Zhe is engaged in some physical labor, and he needs to intake more nutrients and replenish more energy.

So Xiao Qiao is no exception.

Chen Zhe was already accustomed to this subtle "rule" formed, and took the bacon and started eating it.

He cut a lot of wood today and really needed some energy to replenish his strength.

While using dinner, Xiao Qiao asked, "Chen Zhe, how long will this tree house be built?"

"The construction of a tree house is much more complicated than a wooden house, and it will definitely take longer. If it doesn't rain, I think it will be almost the same in three to four days." Chen Zhe said.

"What if it rains?" Xiao Qiao asked.

"It is definitely not possible to start when it rains, so it's right to deduct the rain time." Chen Zhe said, "If you rain more, add one more day to one more day to two more days to rain more."

"That's it..." Xiao Qiao nodded, then looked towards the direction below the mountain.

However, the vision was blocked by the surrounding trees, and the light at night was dim, so Xiao Qiao just looked at it symbolically but couldn't see anything at all.

"What? Do you miss your sister?" Chen Zhe carefully discovered Xiao Qiao's movements and asked with a smile.

"I don't think of her, I just think that if we don't go back, she and Yan'er will worry about us." Xiao Qiao said with a pout.

Chen Zhe smiled and said, "Don't worry, they won't worry too much about us."

"Oh?" Xiao Qiao asked curiously, "Why?"

Chen Zhe said: "If we were unfortunately killed on the mountain, the program team will definitely notify our partners as soon as possible, namely Meng Yun and Yan'er, right?"

"Yes, yes!" Xiao Qiao suddenly realized and said, "So even if we haven't returned to the camp, as long as the program team did not inform Yan'er and sister of the news of our death, it means that we are safe!"

"Yes." Chen Zhe said, "As the saying goes, no news is good news. I think Meng Yun and Yan'er will definitely understand this truth, so even if we don't go back for a while, they won't worry too much."

"you're right!"

Hearing this, Xiao Qiao finally felt relieved. She smiled at Chen Zhe and said.

After thinking through this, Xiao Qiao's appetite for eating improved. He ate all the bacon in his hand in a few bites and drank half a kettle of boiled water.

After drinking and eating, both of them had a bit of food.

The stomach that has accumulated food requires a lot of oxygen to digest food, and the brain will be insufficient for oxygen supply, which will make people sleepy. At the same time, the blood sugar in the human blood rises rapidly, which will also cause people to fall asleep.

Chen Zhe has been busy for a day and has done another afternoon of physical work, so he is already a little tired.

Taking advantage of his sleepiness after a full meal, he stretched and said to Xiao Qiao: "It's getting late, let's take a rest."
