Chapter 44 The Raft(2/2)
Fang Yu just went to see it. The pool is living water. It is a good choice whether it is used to boil water or as a natural bathhouse.
After hearing Fang Yu's words, Huang Mei's eyes lit up.
Fang Sanduo, who was next to him, saw Huang Mei's eagerness to move, and for some reason, he suddenly licked his lips.
Fang Yu didn't notice these little moves between the two.
After telling him to be careful again, he entered the cave.
Fang Sanduo and Huang Mei went to the water pool to wash up.
This trip took about more than an hour.
During this period, Fang Yu also went out because she was worried about something happening to the two of them.
However, just as they were about to reach the water pool, the blushing and heart-pounding cry came from the water pool.
hiss……
Hear the sound of strings and know the elegant meaning.
At that time, Fang Yu slipped back.
Then he reheated the snake soup silently.
It was only when Fang Yu planned to add some water and stew for a while that the two of them arrived belatedly.
Fang Yu ignored Fang Sanduo's high-spirited face and her aunt's rosy-faced attitude, and just pretended that she didn't know what to do and asked the two of them to come over for dinner.
A trace of embarrassment flashed in Fang Sanduo's eyes, but he suddenly took a breath of cold air.
Because Huang Mei's little hand pinched his waist hard.
Fortunately, Fang Yu didn't say much, so Fang Sanduo and the two naturally skipped this matter in a tacit understanding.
In fact, in the final analysis, this is human nature and there is nothing to say.
Fang Yu can understand it too.
Soon, the snake soup was finished by three people.
After barely eating and drinking enough, the three of them quickly felt energetic.
So without wasting any time, they carried the cane directly towards the place where Fang Yu stacked the wood.
The three of them arrived at the place quickly.
Then they divided their work and got busy.
Fang Yu was responsible for carving indentations on the trees with a stone ax to facilitate the fixation of the rattan.
After the carving was completed, Fang Sanduo and Fang Sanduo worked together to splice the trees together, and then tied Huangmei through the tree vines.
Collecting materials is quite troublesome, but when piecing together the raft, as long as you use the right techniques, it doesn't take long.
In less than an hour, the raft was put together.
This raft is not big.
It's only three meters long and two meters wide.
The main body is made up of fifteen trees of different shapes, and then three logs of the same diameter are tied horizontally at the lower end of the head and tail and in the middle as a lower pillow.
As for the wood pulp, Fang Yu chose the main body of a dead wood as a branch and split it into a rough shape with a stone axe, as long as it had sufficient drainage capacity.
Then, Fang Yu and the others worked together to push the raft into the water.
The edges of the raft were tied with canes.
When the raft was launched into the water, no one got on it. They still wanted to see whether the raft would be able to drink water in the end.
After the raft fell into the water, after several ups and downs, it finally successfully floated on the water.
Done!
After Fang Yu climbed onto the raft from the water bank, the raft sank for a while, but stood upright again.
The weight of the raft acts as an anchor in the water.
Its own weight can just offset the impact of the upstream on the raft body. After Fang Yu climbed up again, the raft was basically stable.
Fang Yu tried scratching a few times with wood pulp.
With the control of strength, Fang Yu quickly learned to row.
After all, rowing is also an application of force.
But Fang Yu did not become careless because of this.
He first paddled a small distance in the river, and then tried to paddle back.
Everything went smoothly.
This made Fang Yu breathe a sigh of relief.
However, this is normal. When each task appears, it means that the difficulty of the task has been evaluated, and it is definitely within Fang Yu's ability.
So, with Fang Yu's wave of his hand, he untied the vines tied to the raft, then used wood pulp to paddle the water towards the opposite hill.
Yes, Fang Yu originally planned to go rowing alone this time.
After all, if he accidentally fell into the water during the journey, just relying on his own breathing control, there would be no problem if he could hold his breath in the water for ten minutes, but Fang Sanduo and the others could not.
Therefore, Fang Yu did not let them go up.
If something unexpected happened, Fang Yu could still give up the mission and swim back. If Fang Sanduo and the others went together, wouldn't it be like stealing the chicken but losing the rice?
As for swimming.
Although Fang Yu has not solidified his underwater diving skills in the previous world, after all, he still has the memory of swimming in the sea in the previous world, and his physical perception is also there. Although he cannot be as comfortable as a fish in water with skills, he can still do simple swimming.
.
This made him, as a landlubber before, feel very gratified.
Finally, I didn’t embarrass the southern water town.
The width of this "Yellow River" is not very wide.
The rain stopped for a day, and Fang Yu found that the water level had dropped a lot.
Depending on the situation, the water level will probably drop to the bottom in a day or so.
At this time, some people may say, why can't we wait until the water has dried up before completing the task of rescuing the refugees?
If that's the case, it's a bit taken for granted.
Not to mention, the time limit of this task.
Whether this water flow can drain away within time is one of the questions.
The second question is, once the water dries up, can I walk normally?
No, it's not!
This is not a game. Once the water dries up, everything will return to its original state.
Debris flows caused by flash floods, after the water dries up, what is left behind will be a quagmire.
In the end, Taguchi Village could not return to its original appearance.
After this flash flood, the silt will directly raise the original terrain of Taguchi Village by several meters!
In other words, the silt left behind still buries Taguchi Village underneath.
Before this mud dries up, it is a quagmire that swallows people's lives.
Once you get close to the seemingly dry mud surface, you will be directly sucked and unable to break free.
Moreover, the mud surface will not be as flat as the water surface. Rolling stones, trees, and even corpses mixed with mountain torrents will appear on the surface of the mud, making it even more difficult to move.
Therefore, after the water dries up, it is still impossible to walk normally here.
If you want to walk normally, it will take at least seven or eight days for the mud to completely settle and solidify to form a stable new ground before you can walk.
But then, it is estimated that instead of rescuing the refugees, we will collect their bodies.
This is why Fang Yu chose to make a raft.
This is already considered the optimal solution at the moment.
