Chapter 3397: Build a Raft

The two of them moved the surrounding stones, lowered the above ones, moved the high stones away to form a relatively open and flat space, and then put the wood on the stone platform. The first step was finally completed. Luo Zheng saw that it was almost dusk and couldn't help but sigh: "We may only cut down such a big tree a day, but fortunately, only one is enough. By the way, I'll go to the stream to take a look."

"Well, be careful, by the way, pick some wild vegetables, by the way, wait a moment." Lan Xue agreed knowingly, hurried into the cave, put the remaining sea salt in the helmet down in a wooden bowl that Luo Zheng carved last night, took out the two helmets out of the cave, and handed them to Luo Zheng who was coming over, and said, "Take some water, then wash the meat, and marinate it, it's a bit salty. You have to wash it for a while, otherwise it's too salty, I'll burn the fire to wait for you."

Luo Zheng looked at Lan Xue with a smile, feeling that Lan Xue was like a housewife reminding her husband at this moment. This feeling was very real and warm. I couldn't help but think of the legendary Cowherd and Weaver Girl who was farming and weaving. Luo Zheng couldn't help but smile, agreed, took the thing and left in a hurry.

Not long after, Luo Zheng hurried back and entered the cave and said happily: "Xue'er, another thing like a hare fell into the trap. This one is fatter than the last time. I have washed it and peeled it. I've chopped it up and eaten fresh ones tonight. I'll keep it for later use."

Lan Xue saw that Luo Zheng actually used wood as a shoulder pole, with a developed hare hanging on one end, and a half of the fresh hare and a handful of washed wild vegetables. Two helmets hung on the other end, stacked together. The helmet on the top was clear water, and the one below probably had hare meat and clear water. She couldn't help but smile and hurried up to help.

The two of them got busy and squatted the hare on the fire, made fresh salt, hung it on the bonfire and dried it with smoke, and fixed it with tree trunks. After doing all this, Lan Xue said: "The sea salt has been used up. It seems that it has to be boiled some more, otherwise it will not be enough."

Luo Zheng came to the entrance of the cave to see the sky outside. The red sunset was densely covered with cloudless sky, and the wind and waves were calm. He said to Lan Xue: "Let's get some more tonight, it doesn't look rainy this day."

"Okay, let's talk about it after dinner." Lan Xue smiled and added dry firewood to the bonfire, like a housewife in the clothes. How could she see her momentum as a powerful battlefield?

Luo Zheng felt a hint of apology in his heart. The former pride of heaven and the phoenix among humans have now fallen to such a state, just like a primitive man. As a man, Luo Zheng felt very guilty. He thought that he could change the status quo immediately and went to human civilization. Luo Zheng felt a little better and said in a low voice: "I'll take the bark you collected into the cave. If it rains, it will be troublesome. If it is soaked in the rain, the bark will be weaker."

"Well, how do you plan to make this kind of bark?" Lan Xue asked curiously.

"First air dry, then remove the skin, as long as the layer inside is enough. At that time, the five strands are woven into one strand and twisted together, and they become ropes. The five strands are twisted together, which should be strong enough. Look at the head. No hurry anyway, try more. If you don't have it, just six strands and seven strands. As long as the method is right, there will be no problem. There is no problem with fewer auxiliary ropes, but the main rope that binds the beam may have a few more strands, otherwise the force will not be enough." Luo Zheng explained, walking outside quickly.

Seeing Luo Zheng's face was confident and not worried, Lan Xue couldn't help but smile. She looked at Luo Zheng's departure back, her eyes were full of infatuation. She could stay optimistic on such a desperate desert island, find a way to save herself, and be full of confidence. Only such a man is reliable. What else can you worry about when you are with such a man?

Not long after, Luo Zheng came and spread the bark into the cave to dry. The two of them joked for a while, and the meat in the helmet was almost cooked. Lan Xue picked up a wooden bowl next to her, put a bowl and tried it, then handed it to Luo Zheng and said, "It feels very good, eat it." As he said that, he picked up a pair of wooden chopsticks.

On this deserted island, you can only rely on yourself. Fortunately, the two of them have strong survival ability. Muwan and chopsticks prepared a lot in one night. Luo Zheng was not polite and took it to eat it. Lan Xue also served a bowl for herself. While talking about the past, she couldn't help laughing when she said sweetness. Life was warm and fulfilling, and there was no trace of depression and despair of being trapped in the deserted island.

After eating and drinking, the two of them took tableware to the beach to wash, then boiled salt, and had an experience when they did the same thing, they became familiar with the road. Luo Zheng had nothing to do, so he took the spear to the reef and slaughtered fish. First, he practiced his eyesight and second, he practiced his mentality. Fishing is a technical job, and he should not be impatient, and he also had to have eye skills.

Two or three hours later, Lan Xue made half a helmet sea salt, and Luo Zheng also got three big fish. The two returned home with a full load, feeling comfortable, and snuggled up to the cave, added some dry firewood to the bonfire, blocking the entrance of the cave, and they hugged each other and went to sleep.

The next day, the two of them had some breakfast and came to the canyon. Perhaps because the King Kong snake was driven away, there were obviously more birds around them, but they did not threaten the appearance of the wild beasts. After observing, they chose a yellow rosewood tree that was almost the same size as yesterday and cut them down.

From chopping down to cutting off, the two spent most of the day, then lifted the cut off wood like yesterday and dragged it to the way. The collected bark was also taken by the two. After reaching the cliff, the two threw the wood on the stone platform and went to the cave to cook and eat.

After a busy day, the two of them were not in a hurry. There was food and drink here, and survival was not a problem. Haste was not enough. After dinner, the two continued to cook sea salt on the beach. Luo Zheng continued to suck fish with eyes and hands. The life was light and the clouds were light, and the seclusion gods were like gods.

In the next few days, the two began to cut down straight trees about fifteen centimeters. This size was carefully calculated by the two. It can not only ensure that they are pulled by parachutes, but also ensure that they are not interrupted by waves. Safety is always the first priority. The weight of wood that is five meters long and 15 centimeters in diameter is stressful for ordinary people. After all, Huanghuali wood is hard and much heavier than other tree species, but it is not a big problem for the two. The two are tied together and can still be carried away.

A few days later, the bark was dry, and Luo Zheng and Lan Xue used their spare time to wove into ropes. The main rope was as big as a cable, and the secondary rope was large and small, and it was very tough. It was not a big problem for binding rafts. The two of them had received special training and knew many ways to tie ropes, so they would never slacken.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner. Before I knew it, more than a month had passed, and the raft platform gradually took shape, and the rest was to build a shed. Considering that it often rained at the sea, it would definitely not work without any shelter. Luo Zheng planned to build a shed on the raft to block the rain, so that it would not be too big, it would block the rain.

Thinking that they could cross the sea soon, the two were extremely excited, but a sudden incident completely interrupted their plan.
