Chapter 17 Practice
Wei Dalei stopped and returned the spear to Chen Mu.
Chen Mu didn't ask for it. He turned to Dong Junwei and said, "Squad leader, organize everyone to transport the rice grains to the car, leaving half of the space. Old Wei and I will get some water." "You go ahead."
Dong Junwei nodded.
Before coming, Chen Mu got a few more pieces of material from the disposable plastic spoon, just to prepare a few more buckets of water like last time. After all, he probably wouldn't come again in the future.
Returning to the mineral water box again, Wei Dalei followed suit and pierced the bottle with a spear.
Chen Mu handed the prepared buckets to Wei Dalei one by one. After filling them, he sealed them.
Because he had done it once before, and after a night's rest, he was very energetic. Chen Mu was obviously much more skilled when making these buckets.
"Boss, why do I feel that the water surface is uneven?" Wei Dalei asked a little doubtfully while filling the water.
"Due to the surface tension and capillary phenomenon of water, it's like the water surface in a test tube is concave. This bucket is smaller than the test tube. Of course there will be this phenomenon. If you look at it, you are not doing a good job in class." Chen Mu explained and scolded.
"Hehe." Wei Dalei was not ashamed at all.
Last time it was dark and everyone was in low spirits, so they didn't notice this. However, Chen Mu had already thought of it and even discussed it with Tang Jing.
After filling five buckets of water in a row, the two stopped.
Wei Dalei carried a bucket in each hand and walked towards the flatbed truck.
Chen Mu also tried it, but the bucket didn't move at all.
It really can't be compared with this furbolg.
Dong Junwei just moved the rice grains to the car, and it was over soon. Although the size of the rice grains seemed exaggerated, the weight was acceptable, and a girl could carry one grain.
Because some space had to be left for the bucket, only a dozen rice grains were moved in the end, but judging from the size, it was enough for them to eat for a long time.
The only problem is that there is currently no means to cook it.
If it doesn't work, you can only chew it raw.
Better than starving to death.
After Tang Jing moved the last grain of rice, she stroked the plump rice with her hands, and a smile appeared on her face: "This is new rice that is less than a year old." "Can you also
see this?"
"The color of old rice The color and luster will be much different, and there will be an odor, so it is always unsafe to eat it raw. If it is new rice, it is barely acceptable." Tang Jing explained.
Today's students are already good at distinguishing between grains, let alone old and new rice.
Chen Mu sighed: "The biggest problem now is how to cook. We can't keep drinking blood like this." "
Yes." Dong Junwei nodded.
"Is it possible to light a fire?"
"It's difficult." Tang Jing shook her head: "Let's not talk about how to light a fire. Even if it can light a fire, a match that is bigger than us will burn out in a few seconds, which is meaningless at all, but it can last We will definitely not be able to move the wood that has been burning for a period of time. Even if we can move it, we will not be able to get close to it if it really burns." "So, it is impossible to
use fire in the future?"
"It's not completely impossible. Find some smaller ones. Things that are small and relatively resistant to burning."
"For example?" "
For example, candles, although they are still much larger than us, are still acceptable. As long as they are handled properly, they can still be used." "
But, except for birthdays, I haven't seen a candle in many years." Dong Junwei sighed.
Not to mention developed coastal cities like Shangshi, even across the country, there are very few places where power outages occur frequently. Residents are indeed becoming more and more unfamiliar with candles.
"There probably won't be one in the cafeteria. Even if there is one, we won't be able to find it for a while." Chen Mu also sighed.
Tang Jing said: "This is indeed a big problem. It is estimated that we will have to rely on raw food for food and clothing for a long time." "Let's talk about this later,
go back first, and then slowly think of a solution." Dong Junwei said and was about to organize Everyone returns.
Chen Mu interrupted: "Squad leader, do you want to go over there and take a shower?"
This suggestion instantly gained the support of everyone.
For more than two days, everyone has been sweating profusely. They have been wet and wet again, and they are almost covered in salt, but they have not had a chance to wash themselves properly.
Wei Dalei stepped forward and pierced two more bottles of water for everyone to wash together.
The boys showered directly there and spread the water everywhere.
Girls didn't dare to be so bold, so they could only wipe it with water on their handkerchief sleeves.
But being able to wash my face is more comfortable than anything else at this time.
After people become smaller, once there is a bit of wind, the dust on the ground is like a sandstorm. At this time, almost everyone is dusty and their face is covered with dust.
Dong Junwei washed her face and regained her original pretty face.
Everyone drank to their fill here again.
"Okay, let's go back."
This place is full of food. Fortunately, it didn't last long, and there aren't many random little animals yet. But Chen Mu can already see some flying animals around the flour bags high up. A small moth appears.
However, just as they were about to leave, Du Jiajia suddenly screamed.
Everyone was particularly sensitive to the shouts at this time, and they were all on guard reflexively.
"Rat...oh no, what kind of bug is it..."
Du Jiajia pointed at a few black bugs near the rice bag. At first glance, she really thought they were rats.
However, at this time, real mice are much larger than humans.
"It's Mi Chong." Tang Jing quickly recognized it.
"Rice worms?"
"Well, rice worms will appear if the grain is stored for a long time. Although these bags are new rice, this is a place where grain is stored for a long time after all. It is normal to have rice worms." "It
... It won't bite people."
"Don't worry, the rice bug only eats grains. It has no teeth and won't bite people." Tang Jing explained.
"That's good." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go quickly, I always feel so scared."
"Wait." Dong Junwei stopped and said, "I have an idea."
"What?"
"Apart from Chen Mu and Dalei, I suggest Everyone tries to kill a rice insect." Dong Junwei said.
"Why?" Not to mention Zhao Xiaoyan, even a tall boy like Qian Fei seemed to shrink back.
The size of rice bugs is still very small compared to humans at this time, so everyone is not worried about being eaten like a centipede.
However, there are some things that humans fear, not entirely based on size.
Rats, cockroaches, and snakes are mostly much smaller than humans, but 99% of people will still feel scared when they see them.
Dong Junwei understood everyone's dissatisfaction, but still insisted: "We can't rely on others forever, we must also have the ability to protect ourselves. Not to mention centipedes, at least we must be able to deal with ordinary ants. Rice bugs will not cause harm. It's best for practicing."
Everyone quickly understood what the monitor meant.
I have to say that Dong Junwei’s idea is indeed very good.
Chang Junyan hesitated and said: "But we don't have the power of thunder."
Dong Junwei said: "Chen Mu is also an ordinary person. Why did he dare to kill ants in the first place?"
Everyone said that such people are rare and are used as Role models are really unfair.
But I also know that the monitor’s suggestion is for everyone’s benefit.
Tang Jing also said: "That's right, even if you can't practice, at least be brave first, so as not to be too frightened to move next time when you encounter something." After she finished speaking, she turned around again and said with a smile
: "Chen Mu, take it. Lend me your weapon."
