Chapter 209 Field trip(1/2)
When everyone persuaded Chen Zhe to give up the idea of making salt, Chen Zhe still did not compromise. The hundreds of kilograms of meat stored in the camp are the most precious material resources on this island. How could it be wasted?
In order to destroy the wolf pack, Chen Zhe worked hard to transform the crossbow and build a watchtower, and even used Shu Qian and Uncle Fang as bait;
In order to hunt wild boars, Chen Zhe took the risk of catching a knife and fighting with the wild boars, spraining his ankle as a price, and he also prepared black gunpowder with his own hands;
Not to mention that there is another wild boar that Yan'er hunted, which is of great significance to her...
If so many resources rot because there is no sea salt, it would be a pity.
Thinking of this, Chen Zhe said firmly: "Sea salt must be cooked, and I can definitely come up with a solution to the problem. Don't worry, these meats will not rot, and I will not allow these foods to be ruined."
If it were normal times, when Chen Zhe said such words, the three girls would have put their hearts in their stomachs and all their doubts were eliminated.
But in this matter, Chen Zhe has too many problems to overcome.
So the three of them really couldn't rest assured, but were worried that Chen Zhe was under too much pressure and the burden on his shoulders was too heavy.
"Brother Chen, even if food is wasted, it's nothing. We can still catch fish, we won't go hungry..." Yan'er said.
"Yes, Chen Zhe, we can't live without salt." Da Qiao comforted, "It's better to survive this rainy season. It's a little harder for the special period, it's okay."
Faced with the relief of the two, Chen Zhe still insisted on his decision.
"Don't worry, since I said I could come up with a solution, I would definitely not disappoint you." He said with a smile, "Leave this matter to me."
...
at the same time.
In the live broadcast room of the wilderness survival.
Seeing Chen Zhe's stubborn decision to go to the beach to make salt, netizens also felt that he was a little arrogant.
"To be honest, although Chen Zhe is indeed very capable, there is little hope for his success in this matter."
"Chen Zhe is a little bit stupid."
"Everyone said it was too dangerous and was urging Chen Zhe not to go. Why didn't he listen to the advice?"
"It's a pity that a few hundred kilograms of meat wasted, but wouldn't it be even more pity if I'd spend my life for these few hundred kilograms of meat?"
"Maybe Chen Zhe just doesn't want to lose face in front of girls..."
“…”
After browsing the barrage of netizens, host He Chen immediately concluded: "It can be seen that everyone thinks that the problems Chen Zhe encountered this time are insurmountable.
This is understandable. After all, traveling in the rainy season is inconvenient, and Chen Zhe still needs to travel to the beach to make salt. The roads are difficult and tortuous, and it is indeed difficult to succeed.
However, Chen Zhe has always been a person who is good at creating miracles. Can he create miracles this time?
Let's wait and see."
...
It was dark early on rainy weather, and it was already dark after dinner. It was not until the drizzle of drizzle gradually ended around night, and the island finally cleared.
Chen Zhe and the girls were busy all day, and the rainy days were easy to make people sleepy, so everyone went to bed early and leaned against each other in wolf skins and fell asleep.
The air in the forest after the rain is fresh and pleasant, and it is accompanied by the fragrance of soil and plants. Being able to sleep peacefully in such an environment is also a kind of rest.
Because he went to bed early at night, Chen Zhe woke up just after dawn the next day. He looked up at the window and found that today was a rare sunny day. Although there were still a few dark clouds brewing heavy rain in the distance, it shouldn't rain in a short period of time.
The Yan'er and the Qiao sisters beside them have not woken up yet, and the three girls are each sleeping soundly.
Chen Zhe did not disturb their dreams, and he tiptoed down from the tree house.
Regarding the matter of going to the beach to make salt, he thought of a very feasible plan. Once it is proved that this plan has not been hindered, he is likely to be able to make salt at the beach smoothly.
This time, I slipped out of the camp early in the morning, Chen Zhe went to the field to inspect the feasibility of his plan.
He carried the blood-drinking knife and the bodyguard, and took a brisk step, and disappeared into the woods in a blink of an eye.
As the rising sun in the east rose higher and higher, Yan'er and the Qiao sisters woke up one after another.
After the girls got up, they found that Chen Zhe was not in the tree house, and his equipment, blood-drinking knife and body guard were gone, so they knew that Chen Zhe should have something to do and left the camp alone to operate.
Chen Zhe was not seen all morning, and he waited until noon to come back. From about five in the morning to twelve in the afternoon, he left the camp for seven hours.
However, after returning, Chen Zhe was completely happy, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
It is obvious that his trip has gained a lot.
"Brother Chen, where have you been?" Yan'er immediately climbed down from the tree house and walked towards Chen Zhe.
Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao also poked their heads out of the window of the tree house, waiting curiously for Chen Zhe to reveal the answer.
Chen Zhe smiled lightly and said mysteriously: "I went to the field investigation."
"On-site inspection?" Yan'er tilted her head and said, "What are you investigating?"
"Of course it is to examine the feasibility of going to the beach to make salt." Chen Zhe said with a smile.
After hearing this, the girls suddenly realized that Chen Zhe was still thinking about the task of making salt.
Yan'er was moved and distressed in her heart, and asked with concern: "What is the result of the investigation, Brother Chen?"
"Very good." Chen Zhe said confidently.
He looked at the three girls and asked, "You have always thought that going to the beach to make salt is unrealistic and there are too many difficulties. So I'll ask you a question now - what do you think is the biggest difficulty in making salt?"
"Yes..." Yan'er thought for a while and said, "It's the tree house that is too far from the sea. It takes about six or seven hours to walk. If it rains and makes the road muddy, it is possible to walk eight or nine hours..."
"That's right." Da Qiao immediately agreed, "The biggest difficulty is that the distance is too long. Other problems are actually caused by the long distance... Because the distance is long and the journey takes too long, we cannot predict the weather on the beach, and the weather is not predictable, which leads to the inability to guarantee that the salt can be made smoothly..."
Xiao Qiao next to him also nodded and said, "Yan'er is right, sister is right..."
Hearing the girls' analysis, Chen Zhe smiled confidently.
"Yes, the biggest difficulty in making salt is that the tree house is too far from the beach.
But now I tell you, I have a way to solve this difficulty perfectly. The original journey from tree house to beach was six or seven hours, but I can now shorten this time to thirty minutes."
After hearing Chen Zhe's words, the three girls were shocked on the spot.
"Three, thirty minutes?"
"You said you could shorten the distance to thirty minutes?"
"It only takes thirty minutes to get to the beach from the tree house?"
Yan'er, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao all responded the same immediately - that is, Chen Zhe must be bragging.
Yan'er said in disbelief: "Brother Xiao Chen, let alone going from the mountain to the beach, even if we go to the beach from the camp at the foot of our mountain, the journey will take two hours two-thirds shorter than now."
"Yes, how do you go from the tree house to the beach in thirty minutes? Do you move in an instant?" Da Qiao asked in confusion.
Seeing the girls' confusion, Chen Zhe deliberately kept him in a silence.
"I'm a little hungry all morning. So, let's have lunch first. When I start making tools in the afternoon, you will naturally understand." He said with a smile.
After hearing this, the three girls wanted to hit him.
He was so tickled by him that he felt like countless little paws were scratching, but Chen Zhe ran away after he flirted, only responsible for making the girls itch, but not responsible for solving it. This is really annoying.
Xiao Qiao couldn't help but pout and said, "Hmph, Chen Zhe, you are too bad! I really want to bite you to death!"
Chen Zhe laughed and went to the tree house to eat ham by himself.
...
Chen Zhe was busy all morning and was already hungry. The lunch was extremely fragrant. He would not refuse ham, grilled fish, and bacon. He would eat whatever foods have more calories.
But compared to him, the girls have no appetite.
There is no activity in the morning, and on the other hand, the girls' appetites are all on Chen Zhe. I want to figure out how Chen Zhe can achieve "from the mountain to the beach in thirty minutes."
After all, Chen Zhe's words are too exaggerated and sounds like he is bragging.
After finally waiting for lunch, Chen Zhe finally started to act. The girls eagerly paid attention to all his movements, wanting to see what inventions he was doing.
Chen Zhe stretched and took the blood-drinking knife to cut wood into the woods. However, this time he cut down not the strong and thick palm trees or the rubber trees with strong plasticity. He came to a bamboo forest far away from the camp and began to carefully cut bamboos.
He selected the strongest and tall bamboo in the bamboo forest, and then cut the bamboo from the end with a sharp blood-drinking knife. Chen Zhe, who had just eaten his fill, was very strong and soon cut out four or five towering bamboos about six or seven meters long.
Carry these bamboos back to the camp first and throw them into the open space under the big banyan tree.
Seeing this, the three girls began to think about it.
In fact, the answer to the questions they are struggling with is about to come out.
Chen Zhe put down the bamboo and took a break while drinking water.
After breathing evenly, he smiled and asked the girls: "How is it? Do you know why I got from the mountain to the beach in thirty minutes?"
The smart Da Qiao of Ice and Snow gave the correct answer first, and his eyes lit up and said, "I understand, go on the waterway! The river water rises rapidly in the rainy season, and the streams become big rivers. In this way, waterways become an important way of transportation. From our camp to the beach, it just goes downstream. You can make a bamboo raft, which is very convenient."
After hearing my sister's explanation, Xiao Qiao suddenly said, "So that's the case. Chen Zhe cut bamboos to make bamboo rafts!"
Yan'er couldn't help but praise: "Yes, go on the water! This is a good idea!"
Chen Zhe nodded and said, "Yes, I went out in the morning to inspect the waterways. I found that the waterways from our camp to the bottom of the mountain were all unobstructed, and there were no dangerous terrain such as waterfalls and reefs. In other words, it was completely feasible to take a boat down the mountain from here.
In addition, because we are going down the road, this speed is very considerable, the water flow itself is very fast, and the bamboo raft is flying against the water."
