Pokémon: Angler's Rainy Day Team
Chapter 11, finding fresh water
After reaching out to test the moisture of the soil, Ukai took a dry and hard piece of bamboo and used it as a shovel to start digging into the soil.
He dug a mud pit as deep as an arm's length and stopped because there was no water here, but the soil was relatively moist.
Seeing this big pit, he began to doubt his direction of finding fresh water.
After resting for a moment, he looked at the mud pit dug out of the bamboo slices. There was only some knuckle-deep water seeping out from the bottom. It was just a small mouthful of water, which was better than nothing.
At least it proved that he was on the right track, but the efficiency was too low.
He patted the dirt off his palms, dug his fingers into the mud puddle, lightly dipped some turbid black muddy water, felt it on the tip of his tongue, tasted the fresh water, and spat out the dirt in his mouth.
After confirming that the bottom of the mud pit was fresh water, he picked up a foam board on the side and covered it above the mud pit. He then picked up a stone to press the foam board to prevent garbage from being blown into the mud pit.
At most, it can only be reserved as backup fresh water. How much fresh water can seep out of the soil is unknown, and the quality of the water is also difficult to describe. He doesn't dare to drink it at all, and it needs to be boiled.
There was no fresh water here, and he needed to find new fresh water. He got up from the mud and continued to look for fresh water along the coastline.
In fact, he had not considered the fruit trees on the coast, but there was a group of elves guarding under or on each fruit tree.
Giant claw crab, giant needle wasp, spearfinch...
When he saw these elves, he always walked around, not daring to touch their territory. Even with three legs, he couldn't beat these elves, and he wasn't even big enough to clamp a crab.
He didn't want his brain to explode or die of poisoning, so he just kept looking for fresh water, which was his only way out at the moment.
Not far from the shelter, only seven or eight minutes away, he found another damp place.
This time it was a reef. Under the scorching sun for several days, a rock far away from the sea was still very wet. He didn't care about anything else. He lay facelessly on the rock, opened his chapped and bleeding lips, and stuck out the tip of his tongue towards the rock. Licking it up, I got fresh water.
He immediately felt happy that the secret passage was here. He immediately raised his head and looked up along the wet rocks. There were more wet rocks above. He touched up along the wet rocks and saw a rock dripping with water.
The dripping speed is not very fast, only one or two drops per second, but it is better than nothing, and it is more reliable than the previous mud puddle.
He took off the plastic bottle he was carrying and put it under the rock to collect water, waiting for the water to fall. He lay down next to the rock and felt that his whole body was several degrees cooler. Perhaps it was because it was relatively humid here that it seemed cooler.
Listening to the sound of water dripping into the plastic bottle, he felt a long-lost peace of mind. Finally, he had fresh water to drink, and fish soup was no longer a luxury.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, he looked at the plastic bottle filled with half a bottle of fresh water, reached out to pick up the plastic bottle, raised the mouth of the bottle to his cracked lips, and watched with his eyes as the fresh water in the bottle slowly flowed into his mouth and flowed down his throat.
After his throat was moistened by fresh water, he finally felt alive, but suddenly a violent cough came. He subconsciously bent over and coughed violently, "Cough cough cough, cough cough cough..."
Maybe he drank too quickly and choked on the water. It was a pity that he coughed it out again before he could taste the fresh water in his mouth.
After coughing violently, Ukai looked at the fresh water he had just coughed up on the ground and sighed secretly. However, when he saw that there was still fresh water in the bottle, he immediately felt happy, and he could not hide the joy in his heart.
This water can't be called authentic fresh water. It has a slightly salty taste. I don't know if it's the container or the nature of the water.
But this water is still acceptable. It's better than drinking nothing at all.
This time he did not drink water in a hurry, but slowly drank the fresh water in the bottle in small sips.
In fact, it is incorrect to drink raw water directly from the wild. The raw water in the wild should be boiled before drinking, including the dewdrops before.
But he was extremely short of water and couldn't wait any longer. He could only quench his thirst first.
If you drink raw water like this, nothing will happen if you are lucky. If you are unlucky, you may get diarrhea.
At the worst point, it would be parasitized by parasites, which would continuously extract his nutrients, and finally be drained by the parasites and die.
I hope the elf world is really like the anime, a beautiful world without robber-like creatures like parasites, otherwise he will suffer.
He put the plastic bottle back into the water receiving point and fixed it with rocks. He then returned to the shelter and prepared to change to a larger plastic bucket to collect fresh water.
Before, he had no choice but to drink raw water. Once there was enough fresh water, he would boil it before drinking it.
When he returned to the shelter, the mosquito-repellent tadpole was tired of scolding. He collapsed on the sand and kept breathing heavily. Even when he came back, the mosquito-repellent tadpole was not interested.
Seeing him grabbing the plastic bucket and leaving in a hurry, the mosquito-repellent tadpole got up and followed his footsteps, and followed him to the water point.
At this time, the plastic bottle was filled with half a bottle of fresh water. Yuhai took it in his hand and asked the mosquito-repellent tadpole, "Mosquito-repellent tadpole, do you want some water?"
Yuhai said, and made a gesture of drinking water, placing the mouth of the bottle near the tadpole's mouth.
In response to Ukai's strange behavior, the mosquito tadpole just stuck out its tongue, licked the fresh water at the mouth of the bottle, smacked its lips, and called to Ukai, "Yo yo, yo yo..."
"Want to drink?" Yuhai pressed the mouth of the bottle, guessing what the mosquito-repellent tadpole wanted to express.
When the mosquito-repellent tadpole saw fresh water flowing out of the bottle, he quickly picked it up with his mouth and drank the fresh water fed by Yukai.
Seeing this, Yuhai knew that he had guessed correctly, and let the tadpoles drink up the fresh water in the bottle.
After drinking the fresh water, the mosquito-repellent tadpole was still smacking its lips, looking like it was still full of meaning. It raised its big black eyes and looked at the plastic bucket.
But Yuhai immediately raised his hand to cover the big black eyes of the mosquito-repellent tadpole. This plastic bucket cannot be destroyed by the mosquito-repellent tadpole. It is the source of life and a good life-saving thing.
Then he picked up the mosquito-repellent tadpoles and returned to the shelter. He also picked up several large plastic buckets on the way and paid attention to whether any large pots had washed ashore.
With fresh water, he could make seafood soup and finally have a hot meal.
According to the dripping speed of rocks, a 500ml plastic bottle can fill half a bottle of fresh water in about ten minutes.
A conservative estimate is that I can collect a bucket of water in one morning, which is about four to five liters of water.
Counting nights, it can receive four buckets of water 24 hours a day, which is about 20 liters, which translates to about 20 kilograms of fresh water.
