Chapter 25 Plan ahead
After completing the psychological construction, Quan Hao blushed when he thought about the previous psychological fluctuations. This matter is indeed not worth mentioning. In the final analysis, he still does not have a mature time traveler mentality. He is still the mediocre little employee in his heart.
Because of the rain, Quan Hao was wet all over. He had no choice but to go back to the pool and take a shower again, and washed his clothes. The pool water that had only reached his waist had now passed his chest, which showed that the rain was really heavy.
The clothes were still wet, because in the forest, we had to be careful of the scratches of the branches. Quan Hao cut two new firewood, and he was worried that the firewood in the camp would not be lit after being soaked in water. After he chose these two, they were both soaked in less water. On the way back, he simply ran away. Because he found that he had some early symptoms of a cold, which must be the sequelae of being exposed to the rain. The cold must be eliminated in the bud. He brought not many medicines, but they were all anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, sterilization, first aid medicines, etc.
There is no special cold medicine at all. It is dangerous to get sick on a deserted island. No one here to take care of you. If you have to endure minor illnesses, you can only die by yourself. Fortunately, colds caused by colds can be dealt with by other means other than medicines, such as jogging, sweating, resting more, and drinking more hot water. Quan Hao did the same. He quickly sweated when he ran. In addition, the sun was sunny above his head, and the wet clothes quickly dries up. His whole body was warm, and the signs of a cold were no longer serious.
The campsite was in a mess. The embers of the bonfire were long lines, dyeing the dozens of meters of beach towards the sea. It seemed like someone was bored to draw a word on the beach. The firewood that had been folded and piled together was washed away, and the farthest was drifting a hundred meters away. Quan Hao had to pick them up one by one and put them in the sun. The light banana leaves were even more unbearable. Some were already half buried in the sand, while some were simply missing their whereabouts. It was likely that they were washed into the sea. Fortunately, Quan Hao didn't carry his backpack with his backpack and pressed them on the best-quality stack of banana leaves, which made his previous efforts not wasted.
Because of mental preparation, Quan Hao was not too disappointed. He simply packed up, kept the useful things, and abandoned the useless things, and quickly tidied up the camp. However, it was obviously not a good idea to pile up the materials collected from the open air. So he dug a cellar next to the camp. The beach was full of sand, so it was not difficult to dig a hole casually. The difficulty was how to save the hole and not be buried by the fine sand that was very easy to flow. Quan Hao's method was to insert branches around the cellar. The branches were only the thickness of fingers, but were very dense. It was two rows, leaving a gap of five centimeters in the middle. Each branch was guaranteed to be 1.5 meters long, and at least half deep into the ground. Although the sand was extremely unreliable, the depth of seventy or eighty centimeters was enough to keep the branches stable. It was just like this.
However, it is not possible. If you want to block the quicksand outside, you need to stuff the two rows of branches with filling. This is easy to deal with. There are so many shells on the beach that are as big as a palm, so just pick them up. In addition to preventing sand, Quan Hao not only raised the surroundings of the cellar, but dug a total of ten diversion troughs on both sides, but also built a small dam directly above. The foundation stone of the dam is the stone backed by the mountain mausoleum, and the mud and sand are wrapped with banana leaves, and the outside is wrapped with seaweed to make simple sandbags piled on both sides. In this way, the incoming water above will be blocked by the dam body and can only flow into the diversion trough from both sides and will not enter the cellar. The cellar also needs a lid. At first, it was just banana leaves, but when it rained, the leaves are easily damaged by rain and always leaked. Later, a few simple wooden frames were added, and the leaves were thicker.
Although I have done a lot of work, this cellar, which is nearly two and a half meters long horizontally, one and a half meters long vertically, and a 70 cm deep, is still a perfect tofu project. Moreover, it seeps from time to time, and the bottom is often wet. This is a problem that Quan Hao cannot solve. Fortunately, the seepage will only soak the small piece at the bottom of the cellar, and most of the space can still be utilized, which can meet his minimum requirements.
The cellar took him more than ten days to complete the work intermittently. Because Quan Hao had more important work during this period, he decided to make himself a shed to shelter for rain no matter what.
Quan Hao first found four branches with a length of more than two meters, a diameter of more than ten centimeters, and a number of branches with slightly shorter and similar thickness. He took out his only cable. The rope was only five meters long, and it was too thick for binding, and it was not very long. Quan Hao dismantled the rope into three strands, and it was still strong enough after trying. He tied two long and two short four thick branches together to form a rectangular wooden frame. He tied the other two long branches horizontally to the wooden frame in a proportion of one-third and two-thirds, and measured the strength of the wooden frame, and felt that it would be useful. So he spread the banana leaves layer by layer on top and spread three layers. Finally, he used a short wooden stick to tie it. Quan Hao deliberately tied a buckle on one end of the short wooden stick to facilitate the replacement of the leaves in the future.
Such a simple straw shed roof was completed, and four brackets were needed next. Two of Quanhao used local materials and chose two palm trees with a spacing of two meters and five meters, and tied the two feet of the roof to one meter high on the tree. There were many burr-like bulges on the trunk of the palm tree, and it was difficult to fall off when tied to it. The other two brackets still had to use branches, so Quanhao had to go to the forest and broke two branches two meters long. He sharpened one end and nailed it into the ground, leaving only a pole that was more than one meter away outside. Then tied the other two legs of the shed to it, and the work was done.
It was said to be a straw shed, but in fact, the thing that Quan Hao made was covered without a bottom and was ventilated everywhere, which was pitiful and dissatisfied. But with this thing, he finally saw the stars in the sky without opening his eyes. Later, he drew the other ceiling according to the same way, and placed it against the beginning, forming the style of a pavilion, and the straw shed finally passed the eye. He deliberately made the ceiling high inside and low outside, so that it would not keep rainwater. If the rain was too heavy, the outside of the ceiling could be further lowered to minimize the area of contact with rainwater.
