23. Sea Crisis
Xia Yi knew that this was Xi Qiyue's dissatisfaction with Guo Anbao, so he didn't say anything and was about to talk to the girl alone.
After glanced around and seeing that no one was talking, Guo Anbao looked at the tent: "First go to the woods to find out if there are any vines. If you haven't found it until night, cut the tent down and make a rope. When looking for it, look at the suitable tree. It should be smaller and easier to cut it down."
After saying that, Guo Anbao took the axe and pulled the man in the ponytail into the woods.
Xia Yi and Qiu Ruoyan looked at each other, glanced at the art student, and signaled Qiu Ruoyan to leave the art student.
Qiu Ruoyan understood what Xia Yi meant, so she stood up, pulled the art students group, and quickly walked into the woods.
Xia Yi stood up and said to Xi Qiyue: "Let's go."
The two walked into the woods and Xia Yi asked, "Do you know where the vines are?"
Xi Qiyue looked up at Xia Yi and said, "Tell you that you can, don't let Guo Anbao get on the raft."
The girl held a grudge against Guo Anbao.
"Guo Anbao is indeed not a good person, but you are not qualified to hold a grudge against him," said Xia Yi.
"He drove me away and shot me with a gun!" Xi Qiyue glared at Xia Yi.
"Bread is not yours, the tent is not yours, shooting you is immoral, but you also want to shoot him first." Xia Yi corrected the girl's concept, "The only unethical thing Guo Anbao took the initiative to do is currently the only one who has occupied the axe of the ponytail girl."
Xi Qiyue clenched her fists and wanted to find something to refute Xia Yi, but she could not think of any reason.
Touching the girl's hair, Xia Yi comforted her.
The girl patted Xia Yi's hand away and walked forward angrily: "Go quickly, the vines are right in front."
Following her, Xia Yi went to an extremely shaded place. When she raised her head, Xia Yi saw dense vines. The vines stretched out from under the tree, and went upwards along the trunk, wrapping the crown and extending to other trees to cover the sky and the sun.
This was the first time Xia Yi saw such a scenery. He always thought that the vines grew on cliffs and walls.
Xia Yi tried the toughness of the vine. If he pulled it hard, he could tear one piece, but two or three pieces would roll it together and it would pull it off.
"Can this be used to tie a raft?" Xia Yi asked Xiangqiu West.
"Don't look at me, I don't know." The girl replied.
Xia Yi was not sure, so he recorded the place and returned to his camp where Qiu Ruoyan and the art student were waiting.
"I have found the vines, go pick them." Xia Yi called out to the two of them.
In the evening, Guo Anbao and the ponytail man searched half of the island on the beach, but they couldn't find the vines. When they came back, they found that there were already a bunch of vines in the camp.
Xia Yi and the other two walked out of the woods, holding vines in their hands.
After dropping the vines in his hand, Xia Yi asked Guo Anbao: "Is this enough?"
Guo Anbao shook his head: "I don't know if it's enough, I haven't tied a raft."
None of the others have this experience either.
"Come on step by step." Xia Yi said.
"Treat the vines tonight first, and you can sleep here too." Guo Anbao looked at Xia Yi and the other two.
Xia Yi was prepared and had already brought the tent to tie it up.
Guo Anbao entered the tent and took four pieces of bread in pain, wanting to share it with Xia Yi and Qiu Ruoyan, but after coming out, he saw Xia Yi and Qiu Ruoyan roasting pheasants.
He couldn't take the bread in his hand at all.
He looked at the art student and Xi Qiuyue again, hoping to find some balance, but both of them also took out wild vegetables.
Thinking about his frugality these days and his always hungry stomach, Guo Anbao cursed inwardly.
He looked at Xia Yi and Qiu Ruoyan, feeling that they were a little fatter than before.
The other two, Xi Qiuyue and the art student, were a little haggard, but not as thin as they were.
It was obvious that the four of them were driven out by him, but the worst result seemed to be him.
Guo Anbao felt a little bitter inside. He didn't think he was not as good as an art student or Xi Qiyue. All of this must be Xia Yigan.
At the beginning, you should pretend to be a good person so that you can join Xia Yi. Guo Anbao regretted it.
After dinner, the six people began to process the vines, folded the leaves and put them neatly.
After working until the moon was in the sky, Guo Anbao asked the ponytail man to watch the night, and the rest of the people went to sleep.
The next morning, Xia Yi was woken up by a prompt voice.
【Day 16th begins】
【Number of survivors: 11】
Opening his eyes, Xia Yi walked out of the tent, Qiu Ruoyan was already cooking wild vegetables.
On the other hand, Guo Anbao and the ponytail man were also eating bread.
Now is not the time to save supplies. Working after eating is the most important thing. Xia Yi, Qiu Ruoyan and Guo Anbao are both aware of it.
After everyone finished their breakfast, they headed to the woods together.
Guo Anbao only had an iron axe in his hand. Five people except Xi Qiyue took turns to chop off trees with axes.
Although Xia Yi made a stone axe, the efficiency of cutting trees was too low, so it would be better to sit aside and rest and wait for Guo Anbao's axe.
This passed one morning and they obtained four trees.
Compared to the time of logging, when finding the right tree is more wasteful, most of the trees in the woods are too thick and very hard and difficult to cut down.
After lunch, the six people continued to enter the woods.
By night, they already had eight pieces of wood.
"That should be enough. Who of you will build wood?" After Guo Anbao asked, there was silence again.
Guo Anbao can only do it himself.
He tied eight pieces of wood together in dense vines, and divided the raft into two layers, two of which were placed below and six on top.
He was busy until midnight and didn't do it. Guo Anbao threw down the raft and went to bed, shouting the sleeping ponytail man to watch the night.
In the morning, he continued to tie the rafts hard. Xia Yi brought Qiu Ruoyan to the woods, cut down another tree, and made four simple wooden oars.
At noon, the raft was finally completed and all six people smiled.
They pushed the raft into the sea and climbed up to try it out. Because of the weight of the six people, the entire surface of the raft sank into the water, but fortunately it was not deep.
After the test, everyone brought the bread box, took some wild vegetables, and drove towards another island.
Both the pheasant and the tent were left behind because there was no such vacancy on the raft, and hanging it behind the raft was also a dangerous thing. Anyway, when you arrive at another island, everything will happen.
The island behind them was getting farther and farther away from them, and soon there was only a small piece left in their field of vision.
Guo Anbao laughed: "When we got there, we were so delicious and spicy. The rabbits there were not very smart and were very easy to catch. My brother and the others also made salt and marinated some meat to store. In addition, we were a little tight at most, so it would be fine to spend fifty days!"
"They are just lucky, not as good as you, Brother Guo." The ponytail man flattered.
The raft was filled with joy.
At this time, everyone suddenly felt the raft under them vibrate.
The scene immediately became quiet, and they looked at the raft beneath them in shock.
Click—
Another tremor, accompanied by a series of sounds, the raft quickly disintegrated.
