Hua Mu is no longer decadent, but she doesn't want to take care of the white pillow either. There are still more than ten days, and she just wants to plan how to spend the rest of the time.
Now the main problem for the two is that fresh water is in danger, and Hua Mu is no longer willing to endure bland food. From the perspective of human needs, salt is also essential. She felt that her hysteria was almost a total loss of reason, and it was not unrelated to the long-term lack of sufficient salt supply.
And sea water can solve these two problems in one go.
Before, because of the readily available fresh water, the two never thought of extracting fresh water from seawater by distillation. But today is different from the past. The fresh water of the two people is only 10L when they are full. On a hot island, this is sometimes only enough for one person to support one day.
White Pillow can naturally look for other water sources, but what if they can't find it? Maybe you can pray for rain, but what if the gods are not beautiful
Hua Mu felt that she was unlucky enough, so she never wanted to pin her hopes on such an illusory probability.
Boiling seawater can not only separate fresh water, but also obtain sea salt relatively quickly. No matter how you think about it, it is the simplest and most direct method.
The problem is that the pair currently don't have the right container.
White pillow picked up a lot of shipwrecks one after another, some of which were made of fiberglass, metal, and wood. These things were piled up on the beach, and neither of them had time to check them out.
Hua Mu was not interested in scrap metal and wanted to go back, but White Pillow chose some metal plates to set up around the shelter for wind and protection.
Hua Mu was still making a fuss, and when she had an idea, she didn't talk to the white pillow, and went to the rubble and iron pile to find something by herself.
Seeing that she didn't even wear slippers, White Pillow ran there and followed her nervously with two slippers - one of Hua Mu's slippers was picked up, and the other was made by White Pillow with palms and banana coconuts for her. , it needs to be repaired from time to time.
"Miss, what are you looking for? I'll help you find it."
White pillow was extremely afraid that her delicate skin and tender flesh would be scratched by these metals, and followed her step by step.
Hua Mu ignored her, looked around for a while at the crooked mountain of garbage, and then began to pick and choose.
Seeing her laboriously moving and extracting these sharp metals, Bai Zhen's soul was not scared away, and she quickly took her hand, not caring whether it was offensive or not.
"Miss, what are you looking for? I'll help you find it. Most of these metals come from ships, and the cracks are very sharp, you have to be careful."
Hua Mu was angry with her and didn't want to take the initiative to assign her. But after moving two steel plates, she already felt pain in her hand.
Between suffering from anger and compromise, she finally chose the latter.
"I'm looking for a container that can boil water."
She pinched her neck and looked bossy, but Bai Zhen was happy that she was finally willing to talk to herself.
"Okay, I'll help you find it. Put on your shoes and go have a rest."
Although the expression on the sentry's face was not rich, his tone was full of concern and consideration. Hua Mu's heart softened for a while, and suddenly she remembered that she could follow her faithfully, protect herself without her life, and even show "care" about herself, all because of the orders of her father and the queen, and her expression became colder immediately.
"No need, I'll be watching right here."
Bai Zhen didn't dare to disobey her, so she squatted down to help her put on her shoes. Hua Mu hesitated for a while, but finally lifted his feet - after all, the beach was quite hot.
If the wooden hull is easy to float to the island, then the metal and fiberglass boats are likely to have an accident nearby. The storm may have brought the unsinkable ships near the island, but whether it shredded them or smashed them on the island afterwards is unknown.
The white pillow did not dare to explore too far to the sea, and found that it was difficult to break through the ocean currents near the island and then swim out, so these things were found in the deepest coastal zone of less than 5 meters near the island.
She took back everything she could, with a lot of effort, and her impression was clearer than Hua Mu's. She remembered that there seemed to be a few containers similar to pots, but they didn't look very useful.
The metal plate of the hull has been treated with paint, electroplating or phosphating in order to prevent seawater corrosion, and it is not suitable for cooking in any case. However, the metal tableware was immersed in seawater for a long time, and the degree of corrosion was higher. The white pillow collected several containers, but only two seemed to be barely complete.
One of them is a black iron pot with a diameter of nearly 80 centimeters, and the other is a soup bucket nearly half a meter high, all of which look like utensils in a small canteen.
Although the two containers seem to be still intact, they have not been eroded to a low degree, and their surfaces have long been attached to by various marine organisms. Hua Mu looked at the bulge formed by the barnacles and other shellfish, and felt horrified, and her scalp was numb.
But things seem to work, as long as those things are removed.
This glorious and arduous task is naturally handed over to the white pillow, and Hua Mu, she is trying her best to forget those disgusting pictures.
"You wash these two pots, then fill them with sea water and bring them back... Wash them up a bit!"
At this time, Bai Zhen also realized what Hua Mu wanted to do, and was very hardworking.
"Okay, miss."
The two pots were not small, and she carried them to the beach effortlessly, one in each hand.
The attachment and secretions of shellfish are difficult to remove, and coupled with the corrosion of sea water, the two pots cannot withstand too severe treatment.
The white pillow first used a dagger to remove the attached shells, then used a reef to grind off most of the secretions, and finally washed it with fine sand for a long time, and the two pots looked a little more pleasing to the eye.
It's just that no matter how clean it is, the colorful colors can't be saved.
Hua Mu asked her to rework several times, and finally made a compromise - she might have to wear the bottom after grinding, and it wasn't drinking what they cooked anyway!
If it is easy to wash the pot, then it takes much more energy and time to build the distillation system that Hua Mu had in mind than she expected.
When the white pillow set up the stove and the two pots were ready to be put on the shelf, the two suddenly discovered that the method of collecting water vapor had not been considered by the two!
It was already half afternoon, and the two spent so much time on this matter that they didn't even have time to eat at noon. Physical strength is as strong as a white pillow, and at this time, it also shows obvious fatigue.
"Miss, shall I go and see if I can use it? I remember there was glass on a sunken ship nearby."
Hua Mu saw that her lips were pale and her complexion was not very good. The previous anger had long since disappeared.
"Don't worry..." She knew that Bai Zhen was so active probably because she wanted to make herself happy. She thought about it calmly after she was not angry, and felt that she was a little unreasonable.
What if she disobeyed her aunt and father's orders? And in terms of results, it was precisely because of her regular contact that the two could be rescued earlier.
"This matter can't be rushed. You drink some water first, take a rest, and then prepare to eat."
Hua Mu's sudden gentle attitude flattered Bai Zhen, "No, no need, miss, I'm not tired. Are you hungry? I'll go catch fish now."
Isn't this tiring? What can you do!
The white pillow was originally not fair skin. After the baptism of the sun and the sea breeze during this period of time, it has become dark again. She was covered in sweat, the muscle lines on her bare skin seemed to glow in the sun, but her lips were so obviously pale.
"This is an order. Now go to the shade with me to rest for a while, drink some water... You must drink, and then go pick up some mussels. I don't want to eat fish for the time being."
The white pillow has caught the fish these days, and the fish in the vicinity seem to be very good at it. Anyway, Hua Mu feels that the time she spends is getting longer and longer, and she doesn't want her to take risks at this time - if something happens, she can't live alone. ten days!
Knowing that she cared about herself, Bai Zhen was so moved that she endured choking and said, "Yes, miss."
The two returned to the shelter built by canvas. Because of the shade of coconut trees and the cover of banana leaves collected by the white pillow these days, it was much cooler than the outside.
Hua Mu forced Bai Zhen to drink some water, and even frightened and deceived her to close her eyes to rest. Bai Zhen couldn't, so she could only close her eyes obediently.
The sentinel was sitting upright even when he was resting, but after a while, Hua Mu realized that something was wrong.
The super alert sentinel fell asleep like this!
Hua Mu suddenly realized that it was not only himself who had reached the limit, but also Bai Zhen's body.
In her memory, the white pillow had never even lied down in the past ten days. Every time she has any movement, the other party can always ask her in time.
White Pillow takes care of the big and small tasks, and she often acts with her on her back. She is obviously the biggest consumer, but she refuses to drink a single sip when she finds that there is not enough water.
Except for the seabird the next day, the other party ate less than this young lady. A sentinel with such a huge physical exertion, where can the seafood be replenished
She needed meat, and Hua Mu felt that not only she knew about it, but Bai Zhen also understood. All indications were that there were other animals on the island, and the seabirds that flew in flocks on the worst day and took an interest in her blond hair were also a good source of food.
But White Pillow has never hunted them since that day, and Hua Mu doesn't think that this is something that White Pillow can't do.
The only possibility is that the white pillow is worried about her.
If it goes on like this, it may be the White Pillow who can't hold on to the rescue.
"What a troublesome guy!"
Hua Mu wanted to understand the twists and turns, and then looked at Bai Zhen's rarely unprepared face, and there was a bit of gnashing of teeth in her words.
"You're going to die, do you want me to solve the food problem myself?"
White pillow naturally can't hear.
She had consumed three small white tablets in the past ten days, but she could not make up for her sleep with only small white tablets. Her mind and body have reached the limit, and she is even more exhausted after using the spiritual body today.
After obtaining Hua Mu's understanding, her spirit was also relaxed, and she finally slept on the island for the first time after the disaster.
