Chapter 655: The Vase Girl Farms on a Deserted Island (27)
At this time, Xiao Zhao looked up at the sky and spotted a plane flying over them.
“Ahhh!” He jumped excitedly, “There is a plane! There is a plane!”
With that said, he ran to the beach, where there was an "SOS" call for help signal that had been resurfaced after the heavy rain.
This is the first time they have seen the hope of being rescued since they were stranded on a desert island, and everyone is very excited.
However, the plane flew very high, and even though it was in a cloudless clear sky, people on the ground could see it clearly. But at this height, people on board may not be able to see the ground signals clearly.
After the plane flew over, everyone fell into an emotional low, feeling lost and depressed.
There is clearly an opportunity for rescue right in front of you, but you see it missed.
Xu Yin thought for a while and said: "This is a good phenomenon. It means that there is a route here. If one flies over today, there will be more in the future. What we have to do is not to be frustrated, but to find a way to let people on the plane see it." Come to us for help.”
“How else can I ask for help?”
Hearing what Xu Yin said, although everyone's spirits were lifted a lot, they were still a little low.
Lu Chenjin thought thoughtfully: "Didn't you ever think about using burning branches to generate smoke to call for help? They burn 24 hours a day, and there is no supply of firewood. What's more, the smoke is always thick, and people are unbearable. Flights are scheduled. , it is better to focus on burning a large number of branches during this time period, and the thick smoke produced should allow people on board to notice something abnormal here."
At the beginning, they did use the method of setting fire to branches and dead leaves with "SOS" and hanging eye-catching red clothes on the top of the mountain to call for help, but no ships or planes passed by.
Burning like this every day, but no flights pass by, is also a waste of resources. After all, the desert island is not big, you can just walk around in a day, and the green trees on the island are not very dense. If you keep burning like this, sooner or later all the leaves will be removed. Besides, who can stand being surrounded by thick smoke every day? Don't let the lung disease attack first before rescue arrives. So I was a little slack afterwards.
But now seeing the plane means seeing hope.
“Mr. Lu is right, we have chosen this time period to increase our efforts to burn for help. Anyway, we won’t suffer any loss if we try.”
After passing the unanimous decision, everyone got rid of the laziness just now and went to work actively.
Collected enough fresh branches and leaves for burning in one afternoon.
At noon the next day, everyone didn’t even have the heart to eat lunch. They stared at their watches and picked the time. When it was still ten minutes away from the time when yesterday’s flight passed, everyone split up and set fire to the pile of branches.
As more and more piles of branches and leaves were lit, the rising smoke became thicker and thicker.
Xiao Zhao also dragged PD Fang to climb to the top of the mountain, holding the red clothes stuck there high and waving them like a red flag, for fear of missing the moment when the plane flew over.
However, everyone waited and waited, and the branches and leaves burned in piles, but they still did not wait for the second passing plane.
“This gives us hope but also disappoints us!”
"Don't be discouraged, everyone, I think Xu Yin is right!" Cheng Daokuan explained to everyone, "Since there are planes flying here, it can be seen that this is a common route, which may be relatively remote. It is not a one-day flight, maybe two days, It only takes three days, maybe more, to fly. We will do what Mr. Lu said, and every time this time comes, the smoke will burn, and we may be looking forward to it one day."
Having said that, everyone still couldn’t help but wonder: Yesterday’s plane might have deviated from its route and passed here.
If there is a pattern, how come so many geniuses have flown one in the past?
“Forget it, it’s best to have hope. If there’s no hope, let’s just try to survive on this island! Life, life, as long as you’re alive, it’s not just a life anywhere!”
“Yes, everyone, please be patient. We have water, seafood, and a house to live in. Compared to a regular shipwreck, we are really lucky.”
After some discussion with each other, everyone resumed the division of labor that they had done before noon yesterday, those who built houses and those who dried starch.
Xu Yin looked at the sky, her eyes thoughtful.
The item of exploring the desert island has been obtained, and the item of survival on the desert island is also in progress. Only the item of collecting and planting has not yet been fully launched. She had sparsely thrown some vegetable and fruit seeds while exploring the island, and she didn't know what happened to them.
Do we have to wait until the vegetables and fruits grown are edible and the island is covered with greenery before we can really hope for rescue?
What are you waiting for!
Xu Yin then focused on the maintenance of green plants on the island.
Leave the useful ones and clean up a batch of useless weeds first. Eco-fertilizer made from kitchen waste can be used. After applying the fertilizer, transplant the vegetables with dense seedlings after the last sowing to the area where the base fertilizer has been soaked.
“Wow! There are actually vegetables on this island? Xu Yin, are these vegetables?”
“This is baby cabbage.”
“Both cabbage and green vegetables are the same, as long as they are vegetables.”
"Vegetables are enough? Then don't you eat them every day?" Xiao Lu teased Xiao Zhao, "Bracken is also a vegetable!"
…”
In the past few days, several female compatriots from Xiaolu, in addition to washing and drying starch, often go digging wild vegetables together.
However, the types of wild vegetables they knew were limited. Sister Fan only knew shepherd's purse and nothing else. However, she searched all over the island and found no shepherd's purse. Xiaolu knew bracken, so she brought a large handful back, blanched it and added some salt. Mix and eat.
Eating wild vegetables once in a while will make you feel refreshed and relieve your tiredness. Who would think they are delicious if you eat them every time?
"Xu Yin, where did you find it?" When the female compatriots heard that it was cabbage, they all gathered around and saw the tender cabbage seedlings, their eyes salivating.
“The shady spot where the spring water flows down may be the seeds carried by the seabirds.” Xu Yin ran the train seriously and gave all the credit to the seabirds.
"It's not necessarily brought in by mouth." Xiao Ke shivered, "It's also possible that they got it into their stomachs and suddenly had a stomachache when passing by this island."
Everyone laughed.
Xu Yin glanced at Xiao Ke, who had unintentionally become a great teammate, with joy, and raised the cabbage seedlings in her hand, "I plan to transplant them to a drinking water pond. Watering is also convenient."
“Ah? Aren’t you going to eat now?” Everyone was disappointed.
Xu Yin said with a smile: "It's still so tender and you'll eat it in just a few bites. It's better to wait until it grows bigger before eating it and leave one to plant seeds so that you don't have to worry about running out of vegetables in the future."
…”
Everyone, look at me and I look at you.
“What…Xu Yin, do you really think we have to spend the rest of our lives here?”
“Have you considered growing vegetables?”
"No way? Then I would rather not eat vegetables, let me go home!"
“Me too…wuwuwu…”
As he was talking, everyone’s noses were sore, their eyes were red, and they started to cry.
Xu Yin: “…”
Sisters, believe me, you can only go home by growing vegetables!
