Chapter 218 Looking for water sources

Liuyue, who was looking for water sources on the other side, walked towards the direction where they saw the waterfall before. They now want to verify whether the river in the center of the forest is fresh water and whether it can provide them with a stable water source.

After walking for a while, everyone finally arrived at their destination. This is a small waterfall more than ten meters high in the center of the deserted island. Below the water is a small lake impacted by the water flow. The lake water is clear and the water is as bright as a mirror. The sun is bright in the sky, and the clouds are like twelves. Under the sunlight, it shines like ordinary silver. White smoke rises from the lake, like veils, like silk threads, and lingers. Looking forward, you can see traces of silver light, vast blue waves, layers of water waves, and the wind flies freely on the lake surface, and the refreshing water vapor rises from the top of the waves and from the cracks of the stones. There are some lush forests around the lake, and the woods go straight into the water and sky, sprinkle reflections all the way, swaying in the water.

"Wow, what a clean lake water." Alan ran towards the shore of the lake excitedly, squatted down and held the clear lake water with two water to pounce on his face. The cold lake water was particularly cool. He gently tugged his palm on the lake surface, then picked up the lake water and took a sip. Then he widened his eyes and spit out again. He said, "Ph, how come this lake water is salty?"

"Is it salty?" Liu Yue squatted down in confusion and dipped his fingers in a little lake water and put it in his mouth. Then he frowned. The water was really salty and could not be used as a water source. He had to find it again. Unexpectedly, the result of the water source that was highly anticipated by everyone made everyone very disappointed.

"We have to look for it again." Seeing Liuyue's frowning, Yutong knew that this place was no longer hopeful, and shook her head and said.

"Liuyue, Yutong, look at what that is?" Ailan said, pointing to the other side of the lake.

Hearing Ailan's words, the two looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a row of trees growing side by side on the lake, with many huge fruits on them.

"It's the coconut tree! We have a short-term drinking water!" Liu Yue exclaimed. It's really another village. At least with this row of coconut trees, there is no need to be so urgent to find water sources.

Liuyue led Ailan and Yutong to run quickly towards the other side of the lake. They came to the bottom of these coconut trees. There were more than a dozen coconut trees in this row, which were uneven, seven or eight meters tall, and about four or five meters short. Each coconut tree bears fruits, and there are many coconuts that naturally fall off after ripening. Some of the falling coconuts have grown a slender bud on the top.

Seeing these sprouted coconuts, Yutong ran over and picked them up one by one as if she had seen a treasure.

Seeing Yutong's actions, Alan asked in confusion: "Yutong, why are you picking up these coconuts? We don't want these sprouts, anyway, there are so many on the tree."

"No, this is a good thing. According to the data, there is something called coconut in this kind of coconut. It is said to be delicious. We pick it up some and if we don't find food, it can be used as our dinner. It can't be wasted." Yutong said to Ailan with the coconut in her arms.

Hearing Yutong's words, Liuyue and Ailan hurriedly ran over and picked up the coconuts on the ground. Because the coconuts were too big, each of them could only hold three or four coconuts. There was no way, so the three of them could only pile the coconuts in one place first.

"Okay, let's pick a few coconuts from the tree. I probably won't have any moisture." Liu Yue said as she looked at the pile of coconuts in a small pile.

"Well, if you want coconut milk, you have to have the tenderer coconuts on the tree." Yutong nodded in agreement.

"Leave it to me, I'm good at climbing trees!" Alan raised his hand and shouted volunteeringly.

After saying that, Ailan hugged a coconut tree closest to her and climbed up with her hands and feet. However, she underestimated the difficulty of the coconut tree and overestimated her ability. She was afraid of her body falling down when she worked. After trying several times in a row, she ended in failure. Ailan looked at the two of them with a little embarrassed.

"These trees are too slippery and too difficult to climb." Alan smiled bitterly at the two of them.

After seeing Ailan fail, Yutong also stepped forward and tried it. As a result, Ailan finally failed to climb to halfway.

"It's really hard to be afraid. Without professional tools, it's probably difficult for us to climb up and ask for coconuts." Yutong said.

"What should we do? Let's go back to find the instructor and cut the tree with a knife?" Ailan asked in confusion.

"No, I'll solve it." Liuyue said. After that, he turned around and walked into the woods. After about ten minutes, he saw Liuyue walking out with a long dead tree pole.

"Liuyue, do you want to poke the coconut down? Why didn't I expect a good idea?" Alan said in front of her eyes when she saw the long tree pole in Liuyue's hand.

"Well, we don't have to run back in this way." Liu Yue nodded and said.

Liuyue came to the coconut tree where the two of them had climbed before, and held up the long pole in their hands and poked it hard towards the coconut on the tree. At the precise angle and huge force, Liuyue could accurately hit the shank of the coconut every time, and hit a place several times in a row, and a huge coconut fell down. The coconut smashed into the sand like a stone falling to the ground.

"Awesome Liuyue, hurry up, beat a few more!" Alan shouted excitedly as he looked at the coconut on the coconut tree below.

"Don't be anxious, take your time." Liu Yue said, the trunk in her hand did not stop, and she kept poking at the coconut fruits on the tree. Soon, the coconuts were beaten down one by one.

After Liuyue had enough fights, Ailan ran towards the coconut that landed on the ground as if he had picked up a treasure.

"Liuyue, there is a broken one here." Alan picked up a coconut the size of a human head from the ground and pointed to the place where juice was constantly oozing out of the coconut.

"Well, it probably hit the stone when it fell down, so let's eat it." Yutong nodded and said.

"Then the relationship is good. I haven't eaten coconuts yet, but how can I open it without tools?" Alan said with a pity as he looked at the coconut that kept dripping coconut milk.

"You really think of yourself as an ordinary person because you say that you let us experience the life of ordinary people. Give it to me, I'll help you open it." Liu Yue shook her head and said.

He reached out to take the coconut in Ailan's hand, and his five little fingers pierced into the coconut like a normal hard blade. When he pulled it hard, the fiber protective shell of the outer layer of the coconut was pulled down by Liuyue. After several times, the protective layer wrapped in the coconut had disappeared and only a hard inner shell was left. Liuyue poked in the coconut shell with a small crack, and bending off a small piece of it with his fingers. He saw that there was more than half of the coconut milk inside, and handed it to the greedy Ailan.

Ailan raised the coconut in his hand and poured the gap made by Liuyue into his little mouth. After taking a few sips, he wiped the coconut juice from his mouth and sighed: "Well, it tastes good, has a faint fragrance, and is a bit sweet. It's still very good as a drink. Yutong, come and try it."

"Then I'm welcome." Seeing Alan drinking so happily, Yutong could not wait, so she took the coconut and started drinking.

After the three of them drank the juice from the coconut, Liuyue slapped the hard shell of the coconut with one palm, handed a few shells with white flesh to Ailan and Yutong and said, "This coconut fruit is quite similar, you can try it."

"Well, it's really good. This coconut is tender like jelly, and it's very fragrant." Alan exclaimed.

Just as the three of them were happily drinking coconut milk and eating the flesh, a black thing fell from the tree and hit Ailan's head under the tree.

"I'll go, who? Who is sneak attacking me?" Alan exclaimed, covering her little head, turned to look at the ground, and saw what was sneak attacking her. After seeing the dark and strange-shaped things on the ground, he was shocked, jumped from the ground to Liuyue and Yutong, pointing to the things on the ground and said, "Scorpion, what a big scorpion!"

"This is not a scorpion, this is called a coconut crab, a land hermit crab. Alan, you have read the information about the earth and don't even know this, you're fussing." Yutong patted Alan's back and said speechlessly.

"I have read it, but I can't remember so much, and I haven't deliberately remembered so much information. By the way, Yutong, can you remember all the information on the earth?" Ailan said dissatisfied.

"Yes." Yutong nodded and said, as if this was a very sparse and ordinary thing.

"Uh... Then you are an example. I don't believe anyone can do it. Liuyue, can you?" Ailan asked Liuyue.

"Yes, I can remember any information I have read." Liu Yuetou said lightly without replying. His eyes were staring at the coconut crab on the ground, and a happy light flashed in his eyes.

"..." Ailan felt that she was ridiculed. She was also an angel. Are you all so outstanding? Can you live with yourself?

"Liuyue, what are you doing? Why are you catching such disgusting things?" Alan exclaimed as Liuyue, who was holding the belly of the coconut crab's tail.

"Of course I took it back for dinner. I was worried that Ruo Ning and the others would not be able to find food. Unexpectedly, the food was delivered to the door by itself. It was only a dozen pounds, and the food was half solved." Liu Yue looked at the editor-in-chief of several long legs and long teeth dance, holding a big drill to attack her and laughed.

"No? Liuyue, you said we want... to eat this thing? This is too disgusting. I don't want it. I would rather eat coconut." Alan looked at the coconut crab in Liuyue's hand in horror and said. She couldn't speak such a strange thing, so she respected Xie Bumin.

"Don't look ugly, it tastes pretty good. You'll know if you try it." Liuyue raised the coconut crab in her hand and showed off.

"Farewell, I really can't accept it. Let's take these coconuts back quickly. If you go back early, you can help the instructors and the others build a residence." Alan looked at Liuyue who was walking towards her with a coconut crab, and hurriedly ran over to keep a safe distance from her.

"Liuyue, don't scare her. Alan is a bit of a natural fear of such strange things. You don't know. Well, we'll come out for a while, so hurry up and go back." Yutong patted Liuyue's shoulder and said. Then he found a few long vines to tie the coconuts together, so that it would be convenient to bring all the coconuts back. Otherwise, if the three of them were just carrying them back, they wouldn't be able to get much.

After Yutong was finished, everyone left the lake and walked towards Qin Wuyou and others' positions.

On Qin Wuyou's side, everyone was already busy. Qin Wuyou took a machete and chopped the trees. The thick tree with a huge waist was cut into two pieces by the blade with huge force. It fell to the ground in response, and the broken opening was as smooth as a mirror. The rest of the people were responsible for cleaning the excess branches, repairing the trunks and moving them to the place where they chose to build the house.

After cutting down all the trees needed, Qin Wuyou returned to the place where he wanted to build the house. He just let others complete the work of repairing wood and moving, and built the house himself.

Qin Wuyou found a few of the thickest trunks, straightened them with both hands, pressed them against the ground, and the entire trunk was directly inserted into the soil more than one meter deep, standing firmly on the ground. In this way, the main pillars for building the house were ready, and the rest would be built.

Suddenly, Qin Wuyou thought that he and others were busy building a house. The fire matter had not been resolved yet. What if there was no fire tonight's cooking work?

Seeing Yan carrying a big tree, Qin Wuyou shouted: "Yan, come here."

"What's wrong with the instructor?" Yan put down the wood on his shoulder and walked over to Qin Wuyou, asking in confusion.

"Yan, can you make a fire? You don't use other modern methods." Qin Wuyou asked.

"How about it, it's OK. Drilling wood to make fire, but I haven't tried it, and I don't know if it can succeed." Yan said with some uncertainty.

"It's okay, I'll leave the task of making a fire to you. Don't be busy with these things, help us make a fire." Qin Wuyou said.

"Okay, I'll try it." Yan nodded and then began to look for things to make fire.

After Yan left, Qin Wuyou split the trunks into straight and flat thick wooden boards, then neatly slapped them into the soil as the walls of the house, and then used mortise and tenon technology to fix them. The firmness of the houses made in this way is even much stronger than that made with nails. The wooden boards are linked into a flat and solid wall, but because it is made immediately, it is not as beautiful and exquisite as the painted walls.

After building the main structure of the house, Qin Wuyou moved the wooden boards to swell flat on the ground, and fixed them through tenon technology to serve as the floor of the house, so that the water vapor on the ground can be isolated and clean as a resting place. After five or six hours of sincere cooperation, a large magical wooden house rose all over the ground. This wooden house is only 60 or 70 square meters in size, and is divided into two rooms, one as a place for eating, chatting and playing, and the other as a place for sleeping and resting.
