Chapter 88: A Night Rain
Xu Yi planted those small cassavas on the ground first, and these cassavas were very small, the largest of which was only two fingers thick.
Su Keke grabbed this handful of amaranth seeds and scattered them little by little in the soil ditch that Xu Yi had made in the morning.
Xu Yi made four rows of soil ditches, which were all used to grow amaranth.
After all, this is their first time planting, and I don't know if it will be successful.
So, it's always right to be a little more prepared.
The seeds of amaranth are very small, and Xu Yi picked so many as they were enough to sow seeds.
When Su Keke was planting, Xu Yi broke off the branches of cassava and buried them in the soil.
This project is relatively large, after all, he brought back a lot of cassava stalks.
"The moonlight is very bright in the evening, so let's go to dinner first, and then continue to make it after dinner. ”
After Xu Yi finished speaking, he took Su Keke back to dinner.
These cassava stalks had to be buried overnight.
Otherwise, by tomorrow, all the water will be lost, and not a single plant will survive.
Xu Yi does not have particularly high requirements for the survival rate, even if it is only 5%.
The two of them had dinner, and it was already 7 o'clock.
After a little rest, the two of them began to work.
Su Keke was in charge of breaking off the cassava branches, and Xu Yi was in charge of planting them.
The two of them planted for more than an hour, because the land was limited after all, otherwise there would be more varieties.
After returning to the camp, Xu Yi and Su Keke rested for a while and prepared to go to bed.
However, suddenly the wind picked up in the woods.
"I'm afraid it's going to rain, but you go up first, and Dad brings up the thatch. ”
Fortunately, the thatch flakes had been made, and after tying the thatch flakes in the afternoon, Su Keke also moved a lot of the weeds that were used as mattresses and spread them on the bed.
After moving the thatch sheet upstairs, Xu Yi pulled the ladder up and began to fix the thatch sheet.
With the help of some night light and his X-ray vision, Xu Yi spent half an hour fixing the thatch sheets.
The entire roof will be completely completed, and we will know when it rains whether it will leak or not.
Outside, it looked like it was going to rain, but it didn't fall.
So, Xu Yi went to move the rest of the weeds that made the bed to the house.
Then, he covered Sucoco's bed with weeds as well.
After getting it done, it was already more than ten o'clock at night, and Xu Yi hurriedly asked Su Keke to go to bed.
Xu Yi's bed was facing the door, so if there was a situation, he could react as soon as possible.
The door didn't close, because it was very stuffy when it did.
If you want to close the door, you have to modify the walls.
After laying the grass, it is much softer and more comfortable to lie on.
Soon after lying down, Xu Yi fell asleep.
Shortly after they fell asleep, it began to rain.
However, neither was woken up.
When the two of them got up at eight o'clock the next day, the rain had stopped.
The ground was still wet, and the campfires were extinguished.
So, Xu Yi knew that it rained last night.
This rain came in time, otherwise Xu Yi would have to go to water this morning.
Fortunately, there was also a small bonfire under the wooden house roasting cassava, which kept the tinder, otherwise, Xu Yi would have to beat it with flint and steel for more than ten minutes.
After planting the land last night, Xu Yi buried two cassava and roasted them.
Removing the charcoal fire, Xu Yi dug up the cassava. Because it's still hot, it needs to cool off.
After washing, the two drank some cold boiled water, and then sat down on a chair and ate breakfast.
Today, Xu Yi plans to do so.
In the morning, he went to the river to dig a step to get out, so that it would be much easier to fetch water.
In the afternoon, continue to look for suitable materials for making arrow shafts.
Because it rained last night, there are many shrubs in the forest that are raining, and they should have dried up in the afternoon.
In the evening, Xu Yi Xu Yi planned to get the table right.
It had been several days since Xu Yi had moved the wooden plank, but he had not made the table legs to set it up.
Xu Yi was going to cut off 4 of the fallen wood, bury them in the soil, and then put the planks on them.
After all, he has limited tools, so this is a relatively easy way.
"Dad, shall we have fish soup at noon?"
Su Ke saw that Xu Yi picked up the hoe and asked.
After all, there are still some fish in the back basket and fish basket in the river that have not been eaten or smoked.
Because Xu Yi felt that they now had venison and leopard meat, they didn't need to catch fish every day.
When you want to eat it, you can use the fish basket to make some more.
Hearing Su Keke's words, Xu Yi touched her little brain.
"Okay, I'll get some for you. ”
So, he took a small basket and brought Su Keke with him.
He caught some fish from the basket and put them in the small basket, and Su Keke took them to the creek to dispose of them.
Now that she has a kitchen knife, it's much easier to handle these small fish.
While Su Keke was processing the fish, Xu Yi had already begun to dig the steps.
The location he chose was the one in the vegetable patch, because the vegetable patch would definitely have to be watered often in the future.
If there are steps, it is much more convenient to carry water for watering.
In addition, the place where they used to get water was not far away, and it was even closer to the single-plank bridge.
Xu Yi has been digging steps all morning, because the distance from the water surface is relatively high, and there is more soil to be dug up.
If there were boulders nearby, Xu Yi didn't need to dig any steps.
Just pry boulders into the river to form a dam that will naturally raise the water level.
Unfortunately, there are no boulders in the vicinity, and there are not even many stones.
It would take too much time to collect stones from the river to build a dam.
Digging a step is more time-saving and labor-saving than making a dam.
After Su Coco finished processing the fish, he weaved a new basket in the camp.
Originally, Xu Yi's plan was to weave a large basket for raising fish, but later Xu Yi picked up a deer and hunted a leopard, and this plan was abandoned by Xu Yi.
However, the normal use of the back basket Xu Yi is still needed.
Su Keke had already kneaded the bark ropes of the remaining two Divine Bow Trees.
So, I took the idea to weave the back basket myself.
Although Sucoco doesn't have a watch, she knows to let the audience remind her of the time.
Every day at 11 o'clock or 5 o'clock, her fans will tell her.
This way, she can start preparing lunch and dinner.
Breakfast is arranged by Xu Yi a lot before going to bed, after all, they also need to be roasted as a staple food, and bacon can be eaten directly without heating.
At 11 o'clock, Su Keke began to fry the fish.
She prepares some of the fish to fry and some of it to cook in soup.
By the time she had finished her lunch, Xu Yi had also come back from digging the steps.
As soon as Xu Yi arrived at the camp, he heard a shout from the sky.
"Pterodactyls. ”
Xu Yi picked up his spear and ran towards the edge of the camp.
Will those pterosaurs land in their own vegetable patches?
