Chapter 644: The Vase Girl Farms on a Deserted Island (16)
The two of them take care of themselves.
Others are busy expanding the reservoir.
Considering that domestic water for washing clothes and vegetables must be separated from drinking water, Xu Yin divided the water flow into two streams at the bottom of the ditch, one to the right and one to the left, and poured them into two reservoirs respectively.
The reservoir must be dug deeper, and then a small drainage ditch must be opened. In this way, the reservoir can not only hold the water, prevent the water from flowing away too quickly, but also ensure that there is running water.
“Can we take a bath in the domestic water reservoir?”
PD Fang looked at the clear groundwater, then looked at himself. After digging a ditch for a while, he was so gray that he wanted to jump in and take a bath.
“I want to take a shower too, I stink.”
“Who doesn’t want to take a shower?”
It’s such a hot day, I haven’t showered in two days, and I’m still sweating every day. How can I not smell bad?
Xu Yin said: "I just dug a reservoir on the top of the mountain. Girls, please come with me to the mountain to wash yourself."
“Then what should I do!” Tang Yitian heard this and said aggrievedly, “My foot is injured and I can’t climb the mountain.”
Xu Yin met her hurt eyes and thought to herself, "Why are you looking at me? It's impossible for me to carry you up the mountain. My back only belongs to classmate Xiaojin."
"Two options." Xu Yin looked at her and said, "The first option: After we finish washing, let your boyfriend carry you up the mountain to wash; the second option: You wash here, and after you finish washing, it will be the men's turn. .”
…”
Finally, Tang Yitian decided to wash at the foot of the mountain, mainly because she was worried that it would not be safe for Gu Yihang to carry her up the mountain. What if they both fell?
“Brother Hang, you have to block it for me and don’t let others get close, but you are not allowed to turn around either.”
“Okay.” Gu Yihang responded to her requests.
About bathing, that’s it.
Xu Yin went back to get a change of clothes and called Xiao Ke by the way.
When Xiao Ke heard that a water source had been found on the mountain, he not only had a steady stream of fresh water to drink, but also could take a bath. His face turned red with excitement: "Xu Yin, shall we go up and take a bath now?"
"Well, you and Sister Fan go first, and I'll wait for Xiaolu and the others. We tied strips of cloth on the rocks to mark the way up and down the mountain. Follow the strips up, and you'll see the bathing pool at the top of the mountain. It's easy to find. Very much."
"Great!" Xiao Ke immediately called Aunt Fan, the logistics manager who was taking care of the two injured captains.
When they came over with a change of clothes, Xiaolu and others also came back holding coconuts: "Sister Yin, I heard Xiao Zhao shouting that there is water, is it true?"
"Really. Go get your clothes quickly, and we'll go up the mountain to take a bath. If you're thirsty, drink some water first."
"Have you really found fresh water? Great! Great! Haha! After hearing this, I don't have to worry about drinking water, and I don't feel thirsty anymore. That's all we found. There are quite a few coconut trees over there. Some of the trees are short and thick. If they had coconuts, I feel like I could reach them with a jump, but it’s a pity that none of the trees have coconuts.”
He does not mean that.
Xu Yin thought: Huh? Short and thick, looking like a coconut tree but without any coconuts? Could it be the sago coconut tree mentioned in the "Wild Self-Rescue" skill book?
“Let’s go! Show me!”
"Ah? Xu Yin, aren't you going to take a shower?" Xiao Ke asked dumbfounded. She was still waiting for Xu Yin and others to go up the mountain together.
"The bathing pool is not big, so many people have to wait when they go up. You go first, and Xiaolu and I go to see the coconut trees."
“What’s so good about coconut trees?” Xiao Ke muttered in confusion.
Xu Yinxin said: If they are really sago coconut trees, you will know how useful they are when you look back.
Xiaolu said to Xu Yin while leading her towards the short and thick coconut forest.
Meet Director Cheng and Assistant Director Qi who were so tired that they took a step to rest.
Xu Yin was still not sure whether those were sago coconut trees, so she didn’t say much, but she told the two directors the good news about the discovery of freshwater. Sure enough, as soon as the two of them found out that there was underground water, they didn't look as helpless and decadent as before, so they jumped up and ran towards the base camp.
“You can drink water and take a bath. Lao Qi, we have finally come to the end of our hardships!”
“What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and leave!”
…”
Xu Yin and Xiaolu smiled at each other and continued walking forward.
“Sister Yinyin, are short and thick coconut trees different from ordinary coconut trees?”
"Um."
Since Xiaolu asked, Xu Yin told her:
“It doesn’t bear coconuts, and the trunk is short and thick. I suspect it is a sago coconut tree. I have seen this kind of tree in books and it has these characteristics.”
“But what good can a coconut tree be used for if it doesn’t bear coconuts?”
Xu Yin laughed loudly: "You got the point right. The sago palm is the most unethical coconut tree. It does not produce coconuts or rice."
“Ah!” Xiaolu whispered, “Is this the rice we eat?”
"That's not true, but you should have eaten it. Even if you haven't, you must have heard of it. The sago in sago is made from the starch in the coconut tree. In areas where sago is abundant, the locals like to call this type of tree For the 'rice tree'."
…”
Xiaolu was shocked.
The surprised expression remained until the coconut grove.
Seeing that she was still stunned, Xu Yin smiled and went to check the coconut tree.
These trees vary in height, from three to five meters short to more than ten meters high, but they are all the same thickness, and each one looks like a diesel barrel. There was not a single coconut on the tree, and almost all of the trunks had thorns.
After all the characteristics matched up one by one, Xu Yin breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately! It hasn’t bloomed yet!
The life span of the sago palm tree is only one to twenty years, and it blooms only once in its life.
The eve of flowering can be said to be the highlight moment in the life of the tree trunk—the peak of starch storage.
But as it blooms, these starches will be absorbed by the trunk until they are squeezed dry, and the tree will die, leaving only an empty trunk.
In other words, I was pretty lucky. I found sago palm trees, but they were not in bloom yet.
I don’t know if it’s due to the [Prosperous Luck and Disaster Disaster] skill.
“Xiaolu, come to my side.”
“Huh? Oh!”
Xiaolu jogged to Xu Yin's side. As soon as he stood still, he heard a "click" and Xu Yin kicked one of the strongest sago coconut trees.
…”
I bought it!
Just now I heard Xiao Zhao say that Sister Yin kicked down a huge boulder that required several people to hug it. She thought Xiao Zhao's description was too exaggerated, but she didn't expect that Sister Yin really had this strength.
Xiaolu showed admiring starry eyes: "Sister, your strength is too much, isn't it? Have you been holding back your strength before?"
Xu Yin smiled and said nothing: Do you know the permanent divine power?
“Come on! Drag it back, there will be work to do tomorrow!”
She planned to split the trunk and take out the starch.
Since there is no shortage of water now, let the starch settle and dry, and then it can be used as rice and noodles as the staple food.
