Chapter 8: Water is the source of life!


Although the average temperature on the island is not very high, but the sunlight is strong, it can quickly make people lose moisture under direct sunlight.
Hua Mu lost his shoes and was physically weak, and could only be carried by a white pillow. She didn't do anything, but held up her coat to shield the two from the sun. But the white pillow went deeper into the hinterland, the sparse forest gradually thickened, and the sunlight was no longer so intense.
The reason why even Huamu can judge the size of the island in the first time is that there is a conspicuous mountain on the island, about a few hundred meters high, which is quite away from the two. The water flowed to a lower place. The primary purpose of the two this time was to find a clean and stable water source, so the destination of the white pillow was a low-lying place under the mountain.
The two of them encountered a storm and fell here yesterday. If there is a mountain stream, it should not dry up today. The luck of the two is better than expected. The vegetation on the island looks quite rich. Although there is no water source yet, I saw some banana trees.
Hua Mu was just a little happy when he saw it, thinking that there were fruits to eat. It turned out that there were only a few banana trees with a few blue fruits less than the size of the palm, and the rest were either unproductive or the fruit had been eaten by insect birds.
"Huh, you can't eat it!"
Hua Mu half sat on the arm of the white pillow and looked at the obviously unripe banana with some regret.
White Pillow did not leave immediately.
"Miss, are you thirsty?"
Huamu hadn't felt thirsty just after drinking coconut juice.
"It's not thirsty, and the bananas are not ripe, nor will they quench their thirst."
White Pillow understood, without much explanation, silently noted the location of the banana tree, "Then let's go on."
Hua Mu is not stupid, but he has misunderstood the meaning of White Pillow, and he can't help being ashamed and ashamed. Not to mention the survival in the wild, it was difficult to throw her between the cities. Growing up in the royal family did call her to be respected, but it also made her more aware of worries in some ways.
She knew she couldn't rest on the white pillow completely, one day, two days, but how about longer? She must start learning from White Pillow now.
"Cough," she asked shamelessly for Hua Mu. She really needed some psychological construction. After clearing her throat for a while, she didn't speak until she asked, "Just now, what would you do if I was thirsty?"
Because the two discussed well, the first in-depth time is up to half a day, so there is no such cumbersome things as coconut.
White Pillow has to answer Hua Mu's questions.
"I will cut the stem of a banana tree for you."
Hua Mu flattened his mouth and didn't say anything.
"Can that be eaten?"
"It rained so much yesterday, and there should be a lot of water stored in the stalk."
Huamu is not thirsty, so it cares more about its taste than its water storage purpose.
"Can it taste good?"
"Ah ..." White Pillow never drank.
Hua Mu couldn't help but patted her, "Dare you dare to drink it for yourself? It's so bold."
Bai Zhen felt that the elder lady was very reasonable and was ashamed for a while.
"Then, next time I will try it first."
It's actually boring to lose your temper with someone who follows you, and Huamu doesn't know if she should be angry.
"Forget it, let's hurry up, I'm not thirsty anyway. Oh yes, if you see something useful on the road, tell me."
White Pillow's physical strength is so good that Hua Mu doubts his life. He didn't have much rest last night. He ate a few coconuts and shellfish and almost didn't even drink a sip of water. After walking for so long, I didn't even catch my breath.
There are no ready roads on the island, only occasional beastly roads. White pillows often need to return, which takes a lot of time. But Hua Mu found that she was very purposeful, and when walking towards the mountain, she would recognize and adjust her direction.
"What are you smelling?"
Hua Mu observed for a long time and finally found out what she was doing.
"I'm smelling the water, miss, there should be water near here."
Does water still taste? Huamu drank water for so many years and never knew! But the smell of the sea smelled for two days, and she was getting used to it.
Sentinel does have an inherent advantage in survival in the wild, which she can't learn. Hua Mu sighed and reminded himself again that he must draw the white pillow.
"What kind of water source is there not much water?"
Of course, she now has other more urgent things to think about. For example, take a good bath! In order to minimize the frequency of going to the toilet, she dared not eat much! If there is a lake to take a bath, she can barely accept it.
"It should be abundant."
The white pillow seemed to have some joy, and Hua Mu couldn't help but be happy: "Great!"
However, when she saw White Pillow's so-called "more abundant water source", her heart was half cold. Not to mention the lake, there is not a pool of water. There is only one stream that winds down from the hillside. The widest part is only two meters. The deepest part is probably able to drown to the thigh-her thigh.
The stream flows under the shade of thick trees. Compared to the outside, it is much cooler here. Even Huamu feels that she smells the so-called "water taste".
Although the drop is somewhat larger than expected, water is always stronger than no water. In addition, the stream looks very clean, and it does not mean that you ca n’t take a bath. Hua Mu took a moment to accept this reality.
"Can I drink this water?"
She asked casually, but White Pillow was concerned about the previous events.
"I can try it first."
Hua Mu felt really boring. If she couldn't drink it, wouldn't she just let her try the drug?
"No, I look very clean. You put me down, I want to drink water."
There are several rugged paths by the creek, connecting several flat areas close to the creek, and many footprints are staggered on it, probably there are beasts drinking water here.
The white pillow carrying Hua Mu crossed the animal road, and then carefully put her down and stepped on her shoes.
"Miss, be careful."
Hua Mu actually wanted to barefoot, but there was an injury on the sole of the foot, and the water hadn't been drunk. It was too much to wash the foot first.
"You hug me and sit there."
There is a smooth rock by the water not far from the two people, which is very suitable for sitting.
The white pillow hugged her over, spread the coat on the stone again, Hua Mu sat on the ground, and her heart finally settled down in the morning.
The white pillow took half a coconut shell, crouched on one side and washed it, scooped half a shell of water to smell it carefully, and finally handed it to Huamu.
"Miss."
Miss, Miss, Miss, Miss.
Hua Mu took the water from the white pillow and couldn't help it.
Does this guy don't even know her name?
She thought, taking a sip of water with some anger.
Although the stream is not sweet and sweet, the temperature of the water is slightly cool and the throat is very refreshing. Hua Mu didn't drink water for more than a day, but now at the first entrance, she feels better than coconut juice.
Seeing that she was drinking calmly, Bai Zhen squatted down and picked up a handful of water to drink. As soon as the water entered, she frowned slightly, and looked towards the top of the mountain with some worry.
Because of the sea breeze, most islands do not have too high peaks. Most islands with mountains are formed by volcanic activity.
There was no obvious smell of sulfur in the water, but she still felt a little different. It's just that this matter is temporarily uncertain, and she doesn't want to speak out to worry Hua Mu. Even if it is a volcano, as far as the current situation is concerned, it should be just an extinct volcano or a dormant volcano.
Hua Mu didn't know the white pillow's worries, and sighed with satisfaction after drinking the water.
The white pillow has been alert to the surrounding situation. Judging from the footprints of the beasts, it is at most a wild boar, which may be a threat to ordinary people, but for the sentry, it is only equivalent to Chinese food. Compared to these, she is more afraid of things like snakes, worms and ants that scare Hua Mu.
Hua Mu saw her standing motionless, gazing around with sharp eyes, kicking her leg with her foot.
"Are you finished drinking?"
"Miss, I'm done. If you have a good rest, let's go back, and I will come to get water."
The white pillow carrying Hua Mu walked a lot of injustice. If she were alone, the straight line distance of five or six kilometers would be back and forth in ten minutes. The forest is much more dangerous than the beach, and even with her full vigilance, there is no guarantee that nothing unexpected will happen.
"I don't want to go back ..." Hua Mu's most important thing hasn't been done yet. How can he go back?
"Anything else?"
The white pillow is a little puzzled.
In such an unfamiliar environment, one should never rush to gain quick results. Every action must have an expected purpose, and no matter what happens after it is achieved, a new plan must be made.
Their purpose today is to find the water source. It is of course very good to have other harvests in the middle-for example, several banana trees and palm trees have been found, but it is better not to stay longer now.
Hua Mu squeezed a bit, "I want to take a bath."
White pillow froze.
It is not necessary for the sentry to perform tasks to protect the owner and all needs beyond survival, let alone take a bath?
"but……"
This is too dangerous.
Hua Mu brought out Missy's shelf, "No, but I didn't wash it yesterday, and now I feel very uncomfortable."
Bai Zhen knew that Hua Mu was very hygienic, and she felt that if a noble lady like her could not take a bath, it was too wronged.
Missy is different from people like her. The skin is so tender that it seems to be broken. A bath like this cannot be delayed.
"OK then."
White Pillow nodded and agreed, Hua Mu was delighted, just waiting for her to leave. But she waited for a while, but the other party stood still like a tower, without any intention of leaving.
"I said I want to take a bath!"
Hua Mu was anxious.
Bai Zhen thought what she needed, "Miss, do you want a towel or ..."
What kind of towel does she want in this wild country? Does this white pillow look down on her IQ?
"Why don't you leave?"
White Pillow moved his eyebrows slightly, firmly said: "I can't go."
Hua Mu: "..."
