Living on a deserted island, the cold female president regards me as king

Little Lolita Yun'er was held in my arms, she was very happy, she looked around at the other girls as if showing off, then turned her head and put her arms around my neck, and said softly: "It's my birthday in five days, when the time comes Just 16! I'm growing up!"

After I heard it, I couldn't help but my head hurts. Is 16 years old considered grown up?

In ancient times, she was indeed considered a big girl. There were quite a few married people at the age of 16, but we are modern people after all, and we are clearly still a child at the age of 16. Anyway, it is impossible for me to accept this girl.

Until now, I only see her as a daughter.

But the little girl's older sister, Shu'er, looks more and more attractive, hahaha.

"Okay, don't worry, little girl, I will definitely give you a big gift that you like!"

I said with a smile, it was perfunctory.

The little girl kissed me on the cheek in surprise, then lowered her head a little shyly.

As for what gift she understands, then I don't care about my business, let her be happy for a few days, anyway, what I will prepare for her will be very decent things.

For example, I carve a gemstone necklace for her by myself?
On this desert island, all gems and gold are like trash. Sometimes I see them in the wild, and I don’t even bother to pick them up. If I really want to look for them, I can easily find many.

While thinking about the gift for the little girl, I patrolled around the woods.

Soon, I discovered a very serious problem!
The few creeks around our tribe have run out of water!

The water system on this island has always been developed. There are several small rivers near our tree house. Our water source has always been guaranteed by these small streams.

At this moment, several small rivers stopped flowing at the same time, which is undoubtedly a bit unusual!
My first reaction was to think, could it be that the savages are playing tricks inside?
How can so many of us survive without a source of water?

There was no other way, I could only tell Chuchu and Keren to be careful, while I left the camp and started to walk up the river.

The source of the river below this tiankeng is almost all the huge waterfall.

I walked all the way up along the river bank, but was surprised to find that the huge water flow comparable to the Huangguoshu Waterfall was on the verge of extinction, and only very little water flowed down.

In the past, the sound of water could be heard from a long distance from this waterfall, and as soon as you approached it, the water splashed.

But at this time, the dense water flow has turned into a pattering transparent water curtain, the pool below the waterfall is almost dry, and a lot of soil under the pool has been exposed. dazzling.

After seeing this scene, I realized that it was not the savages who were attacking, but the drought below the tiankeng!
Drought in winter!
Thinking about it carefully, in fact, the water flow of the nearby creek two days ago is not as abundant as it used to be.And I can't remember how long it hasn't rained, and the always sunny weather used to make us very happy.

The climate of this deserted island has always been very strange, and many incredible things have happened before.

Now there is another drought, this time we may be in big trouble.

Looks like we'll have to collect some of the remaining water soon!

There is not much water left in the pool under the waterfall, but in some places where the water level is deep, one or two buckets can still be scooped up. There are still many fish and shrimps gathered in those waters, which is not a small food harvest. .

Of course, one or two buckets of water will definitely not allow us to survive this winter, and it can only last for a few days.

However, I noticed earlier that there are still some places with water, those underground passages!

It leads to the place where Xi'er's father lives. The water level there is very deep, and there is still a lot of water at the moment. I must go to fetch some water as soon as possible.

In addition, there is a lot of groundwater in Xi'er's father's hiding place.

Those groundwater sources are different from the Great Falls, so maybe they won't dry up?
However, I am not sure about this, and more water must be stored in the camp as soon as possible.

Previously, I had been thinking that the underwater passage leading to Xi'er's father's hiding place was so narrow and so long, how much courage was required to be the first person to get in.

That is a place where you will be suffocated if you are not careful.

And now, I finally understand a little bit.

Hell, it's very possible that there has been a drought on this island before, and the water in the underwater channel has dried up. Naturally, there is no such great pressure and worry to drill in.

It is very likely that this passage was discovered during the dry season of a certain year!

I saw that the water in the underground passage was also flowing away rapidly, and there was not much time left for me, so I hurried back to the camp to gather people and began to carry water.

Because I had to guard against those giant tribe guys coming to attack us, I couldn't get all the people in the camp to come out to carry water. I could only count five people out, and the others stayed in the camp to be vigilant.

To be honest, when carrying the water, I was always on tenterhooks, for fear that those giant tribes would take this opportunity to attack us.

Because we are out of the camp, we are not protected by those traps, and it is very dangerous now.

Although there are not many savages left in the giant tribe, they can't hold back their strength alone.

Fortunately for me, since I picked a lot of vines, those savages didn't know where to hide. Although I feel very disturbed, they really haven't appeared in the past two days.

So, we spent a day, and several small reservoirs near the tribe were filled by us.

These cisterns already existed near the tree house, and they should have been dug by Xi'er or Xi'er's father.

Of course, these waters cannot guarantee us a complete winter.

We have too many people, and the water can support us for ten days and a half months at most.

We can only pray that the winter drought is over soon.

No water is worse than no food.

I think we have a hard time this winter.

Soon we ran into another trouble, because it was winter and there was still a lack of water, and the air nearby became extremely dry.

This dryness even affects our health.

Our hands and noses are often cracked due to lack of water and cold.

This makes us often have to soak our hands and feet with hot water, which aggravates the consumption of our stored water.

Especially the girl Yun'er, who was afraid of the cold at first, but now she is dry and dehydrated, the little girl is feeling uncomfortable, so she often acts like a baby with me and wants me to hug her.

Seeing that this girl is suffering, I also feel distressed, so I had to let her be self-willed for a few days.
