Chapter 38: The Rainstorm Comes
Sucoco picked up some dead wood, but it wasn't enough.
"Coco, do you see any large dead wood?"
Xu Yi wanted to take advantage of the fact that the inside of the dead wood was still dry, and hurriedly moved some back.
"Over there, there's a bigger one over there. Su Keke pointed in one direction.
"Okay, you stay here and take care of the campfire, and Daddy will go and bring back the dead wood. ”
As he spoke, Xu Yi took off his clothes and pants, leaving only a pair of pants.
It was raining heavily outside, and Xu Yi didn't want to get his clothes wet.
After the rain, the temperature dropped a lot.
The rain hit the body, and it was also very cold.
There were still a lot of dead trees nearby, and Xu Yi picked some that were not very thick, and it took half an hour to carry a lot of them to the temporary camp.
Then, Xu Yi also cut a few water vines and put them in the camp, so that he could drink clean water.
The ground in the camp was already a little waterlogged, so Xu Yi had to dig some ditches around to drain it, and then use dirt to raise the ground and move the fire to the top of the high platform.
Xu Yi has been busy and has not stopped.
This rainstorm made Xu Yi scramble.
Because it was all manual work, Su Keke couldn't help, she sat obediently on the hammock and watched Xu Yi busy.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Yi could finally sit down and rest.
The place where they were had been piled up by Xu Yi with soil for thirty or forty centimeters, so that there was no need to worry about the stagnant water drowning the flames.
The wood they had in reserve was also cut by Xu Yi, and it was enough to use.
Outside, the torrential rain continues.
Fortunately, there was no water leakage, and Su Keke's body was still dry.
After Xu Yi dried his clothes, he also put them back on his body.
[This rain is really not at the right time, it will put Coco and No. 1 in danger.] 】
[Probably not, don't the animals shrink back into their nests when it rains, it should be safer, right?]
[That's right, the beasts don't forage for food on rainy days, they can't smell anything, it's safe, you can relax your vigilance and get a good night's sleep.] 】
[However, it's been thundering, isn't it dangerous if it's struck by lightning?]
[The location chosen by No. 1 is very good, there are taller trees nearby, and being struck by lightning is also next to it, so it will definitely not hit them. 】
[Get some breakfast, then go to bed early, and have a good night's rest.] There is no danger of mudslides or flash floods, so you can sleep until dawn. 】
[Maybe God thinks Coco is too tired and wants her to have a good night's rest.] 】
Xu Yi took out all the chicken fir in the back basket and cut them all into slices.
"It's good that you found these chicken mushrooms today, otherwise we would have been hungry at night. ”
Su Ke used chopsticks to clip the chicken fir to the stone slab and helped Xu Yi to get started.
With Su Keke helping to roast chicken mushrooms, Xu Yi took out a piece of snake bone.
After breaking a few, Xu Yi was ready to use them to grind into needles.
This rain has exposed many of Xu Yi's shortcomings.
By getting the bone needles out, he could sew two snakeskins together, make a simple tripod, and then cover the snakeskins to make a tent that was very recommended.
In addition, backpacks can be sewn, too.
There are too few things in the small satchel basket, and they are not waterproof.
If you wear a snakeskin satchel, it has the function of being waterproof.
The carbon fire in the bucket is also slowly burning, and it is now twenty centimeters deep.
Because the inner wall of the bucket burned by Xu Yi is still relatively thin, if the charcoal is scraped off in the future, it may only look more than 1 centimeter.
"Dad, you can eat. ”
After Su Keke baked a large bowl, he handed it to Xu Yi.
"Well, then you're welcome. ”
Xu Yi was indeed hungry, because he had been doing physical work all the time in the afternoon, and the energy consumption was very large.
This whole bowl was a lot of portions, and after eating, Xu Yi felt that he was almost full.
After eating, Xu Yi continued to polish the snake bone needle in his hand.
Although it is a little curved, it is still quite hard.
He polished a total of 5 needles, so that even if a few were broken, there would still be spare bone needles to use.
Now the more difficult thing is to solve the problem of the line.
Do you dismantle your own clothes, or do you weave them yourself out of bark or other fibers?
After struggling for a while, Xu Yi felt that it was not suitable to dismantle his pants for the time being.
Although the temperature difference between day and night is not very large, it is easy to get scratched if you walk in the jungle without pants.
So, he set his sights on his shoelaces.
Shoelaces are many strands of fine thread woven together, and they are all more than a meter long.
After being dismantled into thin wires, it is still very strong.
Without shoelaces, Xu Yi can use vines to tie his shoes, which does not affect the use of shoes.
So, Xu Yi untied his shoelaces directly, then cut off the ends and split them into thin threads.
"I should be lucky, the laces of these shoes are woven with fine thread, and they are very strong and not easy to tear. ”
When taken apart, there are 20 thin wires, each of which is 1.5 meters.
"I'm going to sew a satchel first, so that I can hold things and have some waterproofness. ”
Xu Yi took out a snakeskin from the back basket.
This snakeskin is the tail part, and if you use it to make a satchel, you won't be reluctant to waste some materials.
In addition, Su Keke's satchel must be smaller, so that the narrower part of the tail is more suitable.
Xu Yi first drew the structure of his backpack on the ground with a tree branch, so that he could know how to cut the snakeskin later.
If only two pieces of cloth are used, it is relatively simple, and the structure is not very stable.
So, Xu Yi thought of the green military shoulder that had been popular in the land of China for decades.
With memory, Xu Yi drew the military scarf.
He then folded a few branches, which he used as a measure of length.
Once he had done that, he spread the snake skin on the ground and used charcoal to draw the shape he needed on the snake skin.
Then, Xu Yi's snakeskin was cut off with a stone machete.
After Su Keke was full, she asked Xu Yi to teach her 5 words, and she wrote on the side.
In the jungle, it was still pouring rain.
However, Xu Yi and Su Keke were not affected in any way.
In this makeshift camp, it's warm and dry.
"Dad, there are mosquitoes now, not for the past few days. ”
After Su Keke killed a mosquito, he became a little depressed.
Before, the forests were very dry, and there were almost no mosquitoes.
Therefore, the two of them are not particularly concerned about mosquito repellent and insect repellent.
But here she was bitten twice.
Not only is it swollen, but it's also very itchy.
