"Why?"
Fang Jinyan asked with some surprise.
"Because we found a big bamboo forest over there."
Zhang Chengbao said with a smile.
Fang Jinyan, the crowd behind him were all overjoyed when they heard this.
"Really, it's great, bamboo is a good thing for us right now" "yes, take us there" Fang Jinyan asked more: "What type of bamboo is about how thick is the average weight?"
The reason why he asks this is because there are actually many types of bamboo, and the uses of different types of bamboo vary greatly, some bamboo can only grow as thick as a little finger at most, while others lack hardness "Hehe, if I'm not mistaken, it should be that the bamboo is generally as thick as an arm, and when I saw the first one, it is estimated to be about the same thickness as the thigh," Zhang Chengbao said with obvious smugness.
"That's Maozhu, okay, take us to see it."
Fang Jinyan nodded and said.
"Okay, you guys come with me" Zhang Chengbao was a little disappointed with his reaction, he originally expected Fang Jinyan to be overjoyed, and secondly, he should be excited, but Fang Jinyan didn't react much at all It's too faceless But it's hard for him to say anything about this kind of thing, if people aren't excited, you can't force people to be excited Fortunately, others are still more face-saving.
So everyone came to the upper reaches of the creek under the leadership of Zhang Chengbao and his party.
Sure enough, here, they saw a large bamboo forest, although it turned out that Zhang Chengbao was a little bragging, most of the bamboo here is not as thick as the "arm", let alone "the thigh is about the same thick", but overall, it is not much worse.
Moreover, this piece of bamboo forest is really large, stretching along both sides of the creek, with no end in sight, and it is estimated that there is at least an area of more than five acres.
"Wow, that's great, these things are treasures, they are one of the best building materials, and they can also be used to make all kinds of containers, water pipes and other tools," Mu Tielong said excitedly, touching the bamboo joints.
"That's right, some people say that bamboo is the steel bar of ancient Chinese architecture, and I don't think it's an exaggeration at all," Zhang Chengbao said happily.
"You're carrying axes, let's chop dozens of them at once, pick the thickest ones we can, and then open the bamboo joints, fill them with fresh water and bring them back."
Fang Jinyan said.
"Otherwise, let's just move here, we can bring back one or two hundred kilograms of water at most, although it should be enough to drink, but it's still not enough, and we have to travel long distances every day to carry it together, it's too much waste of time and physical strength," Mu Tielong said.
"It's not urgent, it's not for many of us to decide, so let's wait until we go back and discuss it with everyone before making a decision."
Fang Jinyan shook his head and said.
"That's true, let's go back and talk about it."
Mu Tielong thought for a moment and nodded and said.
So according to Fang Jinyan's instructions, everyone picked 20 relatively thick bamboos, cut them down, cut off all their tips and branches, cut the main trunk into two bamboo tubes with an average length of 1 meter, and finally used sharp hardwood wooden guns to open up all the bamboo joints in the middle, forming a rather large bamboo tube container.
Zhang Chengbao said with great satisfaction: "Next time we bring a saw, it will be more convenient, and we can even make some simple bamboo bowls, in the south of ancient China, bamboo bowls are the most common containers, even more widely used than ceramics, even in modern times, some ethnic minorities in the southwest of the mountainous area, are still using this natural container." ” "How much water can one of these bamboo tubes hold?"
someone asked curiously.
"It can be roughly calculated that the radius of these bamboo tubes is about 5 centimeters, the bottom area is about 75 square centimeters, the length is almost 1 meter, that is, 100 centimeters, and the result of multiplying the two is 7,500 cubic centimeters."
Zhang Chengbao estimated it and said.
"Isn't that the same as not saying this, how do I know how big 7,500 cubic centimeters is," the questioner said, rolling his eyes.
"It's already very clear, well, the density of water is 1 gram cubic centimeter, that is, if these bamboo tubes are filled with water, they can hold about 7,500 grams, and 7,500 grams is 75 kilograms," Zhang Chengbao said. "75 kilograms is not 15 kilograms, which is much larger than I imagined, I thought it would be seven or eight kilograms at most."
The questioner was surprised.
"Yes, these 40 bamboo tubes can bring back almost 300 kilograms of fresh water, an average of 3 kilograms per person, according to our previous water use rate, it is estimated that it can be used for a week," Zhang Chengbao nodded and said.
"That's impossible, at that time, everyone was very short of water to save so much, even reluctant to cook fish soup, now that we have found a fresh water source, it is definitely impossible to save so much, and we will also need some fresh water to deal with that wild boar later."
Fang Jinyan said.
"I know, anyway, under normal circumstances, it's okay to take care of it for two or three days."
Zhang Chengbao said.
As they spoke, they had carried the tubes into the stream, filled them with clean water, and then blocked the mouths with bamboo leaves, leaves, and even their clothes.
Then, except for Fang Jinyan, Mu Tielong and other combatants, everyone else walked back with a bamboo tube on their shoulders The net weight of 15 catties, plus the weight of the bamboo tube itself, is estimated to be 20 catties, carrying 20 catties of heavy objects to walk the mountain road, it is not an easy thing but these days they are short of water and fear, so all of them are like chicken blood, no complaints at all, and even laughter all the way.
After returning to the camp by the sea, the rest of the personnel had already returned before them, and the number of people was counted, and no one was missed.
The carcass of the wild boar and the remains of the two victims were also brought back.
Seeing the tragic situation of these two girls, everyone who was originally excited about the harvest fell silent in an instant.
Although they are not very familiar with the two girls, and they don't even know their names yet, but the rabbit died and the fox was sad, and it was impossible for everyone to turn a blind eye to seeing them die so miserably.
You know, many of them saw the dead bodies for the first time So when Liu Hongjun proposed to bury them properly, no one objected.
So they dug a pit in the ground by the sea, buried their bodies, and carved a monument out of wood.
It reads: "The tomb of the victims Han Ling and Hao Lingfei." ” There are only these eleven words, and nothing else, because the area of the wooden tablet is limited, and there are not too many words engraved at all.
Many of the victims bowed at the grave and blessed them with rest Fang Jinyan was quite touched by this, he actually didn't expect these people to be so particular.

In his previous post-apocalyptic memories, most people don't care about the corpses of unfamiliar people after they die, and sometimes even the corpses of their companions don't care about them, because in the last days when the dead are commonplace, this kind of behavior has no meaning at all, and will only waste their physical strength and put themselves in a dangerous situation But now these people, apparently their way of thinking is still influenced by the inertia of peacetime, and has not yet reached that cold moment.
After burying the bodies of the victims, everyone gathered their minds and began to dispose of the wild boars.
Soon they were in full swing Because Zhang Chengbao, Fang Jinyan and others brought back a large amount of fresh water, it was much easier to deal with.
Even though the water is still a bit too little, they still need to use seawater for cleaning as much as possible.
They boiled several pots of seawater with several paint buckets at the same time, then scalded the boar's carcass, and then used various props and even razor blades and sharp stone blades to shave the boar's hair.
Then the stomach is disemboweled, the internal organs of the large intestine and small intestine are dug out, washed in seawater, rinsed again with fresh water, and wrapped in leaves The pig's body is cut open with an axe or even a saw, dismantled in eight pieces, and cleaned in the same way Before that, Fang Jinyan pulled out his hamstring and took away the small intestine at the same time.
Because the main credit for killing the wild boar was his, no one else said that he deserved it.
It is said that this wild boar is not small, but it is far less fat than domestic pigs, so in fact, not much meat is cut in the end.
Fang Jinyan used wooden poles and stones to make a simple scale.
The standard of this scale was based on a girl's graduated drinking cup: first he made an equal-arm lever similar to a scale, balanced the weight of the drinking cup with crushed stones, and then filled the drinking cup with 1,000 milliliters of water, which weighed exactly one kilogram, and then Fang Jinyan beat it to get a stone of the same weight as 1,000 milliliters of water.
This stone is his weighing stone, and then according to the principle of levers, he made a wooden scale with a maximum scale of 20 kilograms.
After several weighings on this wooden scale, they finally added up the results and learned the total weight of the meat cut by the wild boar.
Even including the smashed pig's head, it is only 47 kilograms, less than 100 kilograms of meat.
It seems like a lot, but when it is distributed to more than 100 people, each person is actually less than 1 catty In addition, this is the tropics, and their salt is very limited now, so they finally decided not to marinate and store it, and eat it all for everyone to eat, which is considered a reward and celebration They are still not in a very good situation, so they need a celebration to boost everyone's morale Especially the two people who have just died, it is necessary to eliminate the pessimism and despair that this incident has brought to everyone Sure enough, when everyone heard the news, they all cheered Although 1 pound of meat is not much, but if you eat it for a meal, you can still eat it very, very happily t1706231537:
