Chapter 11 Charming Blue Snake Shadow(1/2)
With the storm temporarily moving away, communications were fully restored.
Allen No. 1 was originally sheltered in a cave.
But as the rain gets heavier, the groundwater level continues to rise.
The cave is gradually flooded.
Allen stood up all morning in the wind and rain, feeling extremely embarrassed.
The female contestant No. 3 is very lucky.
Island No. 3 is the furthest away from the tropical storm.
The impact is limited.
And contestant No. 3 was already on guard at night.
Before dawn, she took her things with her and looked for a cave to take shelter from the wind.
This time, Tropical Storm No. 2 is the closest, followed by No. 1, No. 4, and No. 3.
But from the performance point of view, No. 4 Chen Lang is obviously the one who copes best.
This also made the staff of the program team take Chen Lang seriously.
This kid has something!
......
Island No. 4.
Chen Lang took advantage of the wind and rain to stop and walked out of the cave.
The bamboo rafts have been damaged by the storm and have obvious signs of breakage.
Chen Lang thought for a while, then went to the bamboo forest to cut a lot of bamboo and pile it near the cave.
At the same time, Chen Lang ran to the fishing trap and took a look.
Chen Lang was very lucky, the trap only collapsed in one or two places.
In the trap, there are several small fish and many small shrimps.
Chen Lang put everything into bamboo tubes - this was what he made at noon, a special tool for storing catches.
Just after packing up the trap, the wind picked up again.
Chen Lang shrank his head and returned to the shelter like flying.
.....
In the afternoon, the storm became more violent.
The program team had to stay away from the island again.
Communication was also interrupted again.
Of course, Chen Lang didn't know all this.
He was sitting in the cave, weaving bamboo baskets by the light of the fire.
Weaving bamboo baskets is not difficult, especially for Chen Lang who has the label of "craftsman".
The difficulty of weaving bamboo baskets is not in the process, but in the handling of the bamboo.
The better you handle it, the easier the knitting process will be.
Chen Lang doesn’t have many tools, but they are enough.
He first used the saw teeth on the side of the engineer shovel to cut the bamboo into short sections of more than one meter.
Then Chen Lang used a machete to cut the bamboo into bamboo strips as wide as a thumb's width.
Then use a machete to gently scratch the surface of the bamboo strips to make it as smooth as possible.
The raw materials are finally processed.
This also wasted a lot of Chen Lang's physical strength and energy.
After resting for a while, Chen Lang began to weave the bottom of the bamboo basket.
Lay the bamboo strips on the ground in a criss-cross pattern, one up and one down.
Then gently fold the flexible strips and braid them together.
It wasn't until late at night that Chen Lang just knitted the outline of the bottom.
"Exhausted."
Chen Lang crossed the fingers of his hands, palms facing outward, and straightened his arms.
The joints make a clicking sound.
Although Chen Lang tried his best to smooth the bamboo strips, Chen Lang's hand was still stabbed in several places.
Chen Lang, who was exhausted both physically and mentally, let out a long sigh.
"Broken sleep, broken sleep, I'm exhausted."
"Grandma, rescue should have arrived, but by chance another storm blew up."
"Damn..."
Boom!
Thunder came from the distance again.
Chen Lang quickly changed his words: "Damn bamboo strips, they prick my hands so much."
Follow your heart when you should, which is one of the survival principles that Chen Lang follows.
......
The fifth day.
The weather has shown no sign of improvement for a long time.
The rain is still falling.
Taking advantage of the low wind in the morning, Chen Lang went to the woods to pick up a lot of firewood.
The firewood is wet and cannot be burned.
Chen Lang had no choice but to pile the firewood next to the fire and let the fire dry the firewood.
With nothing to do, Chen Lang continued to make bamboo baskets.
After the bottom is braided, the efficiency is greatly improved.
It took almost a morning to make the bamboo baskets.
Very simple, but also very strong.
Chen Lang held the bamboo basket over the fire and smoked it for a while.
This is called finishing, which allows the bamboo basket to take shape and become stronger and more durable.
At noon, Chen Lang braved the heavy rain and went to the trap.
There are gains, but not much.
They are all small fish the thickness of Chen Lang’s little finger.
To the extent of filling a gap between teeth.
Chen Lang wiped away the rainwater.
Compared to yesterday, the center of the storm was further away from the island.
According to this trend, the weather will completely clear up in a day or two.
Just endure it.
......
The afternoon of the fifth day.
There are a lot of bamboo strips left.
Chen Lang adhered to the attitude of not wasting money and made a bamboo dustpan about the same size as the basin.
On the morning of the sixth day, Chen Lang spent time in the storm and made some useful gadgets.
Afternoon.
The wind has eased slightly.
According to Chen Lang's steady character, he will not go out unless necessary.
But Chen Lang had to go out now.
Finished drinking water.
Originally, the water was enough for Chen Lang to need for four or five days.
To be continued...
