Chapter 16: Dwelling on the Island!
As soon as the words were asked, Lin Xihan regretted it.
So ask...... Isn't it just to admit that she doesn't understand something!
This is soft on Xu Le!
It's a show of weakness!
No way!
I, Lin Xihan, have never been weaker than others in my life!
Unless you're genuinely curious enough to explode......
Xu Le's biggest effort was just now, on the bottom of the fish pond.
He was happy and said, "Actually, there's nothing special about it. β
"On this sunny day, a small pool of water can't help but bask at all. β
"In addition, there is sand underneath, and the water seeps down, and in less than half a day, it is almost half permeable and half evaporated. β
"I dug a pit like this, just right to create a shady area against the edge of the reef. β
"In this way, the water in the pool will not evaporate so easily. β
Lin Xihan immediately understood what Xu Le meant.
She continued Xu Le's words and continued: "So, the fish in the waterhole will not be dehydrated, and we will always be able to eat fresh?"
Phew, why are you talking about us again......
It's smart, but it's a pity that it's only half right...... Xu Le added with a smile: "Fresh or not, it's still second." β
"The dead fish rotted inside, the rotten flesh seeped into the sand, and the pond was unusable. β
"It's also about thinking about the long term. β
After speaking, Xu Le patted Xiao Hei's buttocks.
The black-footed cat, having eaten enough seafood, was hiding in the shade and slept soundly.
Felines, sleep more than sixteen hours a day.
Xiao Hei flipped up with a snort, his pupils shrunk into a slit, and he looked around.
Upon discovering that there was no danger, its pupils diffused into a circle again.
But cute and loving to Xu Le - "Meow woo~~"
Xu Le scratched Xiao Hei's chin and beckoned, "Let's go, build the house today, and let's come back to see the harvest in the evening!"
The barrage in the live broadcast roomββ
"I didn't expect that Xu Le could even think of keeping it fresh...... It's better to be ashamed, it's better to be ashamed!"
"I thought that Boss Xu Le was on the fifth floor, but in fact, Boss Xu Le was on the tenth floor!"
"Thorough, terrifying!"
"Blackie is so cute!"
"Did Mr. Xu Le just say that he was going to build a house?"
"It's awesome, it's only the next day, and Big Guy Xu Le has already started building a house!"
"In other live broadcast rooms, who can start building a house the next day?
"Uh...... Upstairs, it's not me who strikes you, the four apprentices of Master De have already begun to prepare materials......"
β...... Then I also believe that Xu Le will not be much slower than them!"
About twenty minutes later, Xu Le and Lin Xihan returned to the bottom of the cliff where they were sheltered.
"The amount of work involved in building a house is actually not huge. β
Xu Le pointed to the recessed mountain, "This depression of about ten square meters can be regarded as a part of our house." β
"So now the house lacks only the outer walls and the roof. β
"Let's start by looking for a few sturdy branches to use as pillars. β
Not far from the location he had chosen as shelter, there was a dense grove.
The trees in the grove are generally more than three meters tall and not very large, only about three centimeters in diameter.
But to break it empty-handed, it must be helpless.
However, some anchors are trying, using the sharp edge of the mussel shell to cut.
However, there is no force at all, let alone how uncomfortable it is.
ButβXu Le waved the stone knife in his hand.
The stone knife with its curved blade and wide blade is itself carefully designed to adapt to this kind of chopping!
Click! Click!
A rhythmic chopping sound sounded, and the stone knife easily cut a circle of incisions near the roots of the tree.
In order to save the durability of the tool, Xu Le hugged the branch after cutting out the incision, and used the weight of his body to completely crush the branch.
Finally, it is carefully cut with a stone knife to cut off the bundles of fibers that are still joined together at the end.
The process of cutting down a tree takes less than five minutes!
Continue to use a stone knife to cut off the branches that are obliquely branched, and you get a straight and flexible wooden beam.
It took about an hour and a half for Xu Le to cut and chop, get twelve of these wooden beams, drag them back to the shelter in batches, and put them neatly in a stack.
Four of the twelve wooden beams were cut off with a stone knife from a position of about one meter.
Eight long wooden beams about three meters long, four short wooden beams with a length of only one meter, and four two-meter beams.
Then he cut down many of the vines and scraped off the rough skin.
Lin Xihan noticed that after Xu Le scraped off these old skins, he did not throw them away casually.
Instead, they are finely chopped and spread out on the stones where the dried fish were dried yesterday.
Spread out together, there are also a lot of thick and thin wooden branches that I just picked up.
"Drying wood?" Lin Xihan was puzzled.
Under the sun, these dried sticks and old skins soon began to dry and roll.
And Xu Le finally threw the stone knife aside, held the coconut shell, and poured a few mouthfuls of water.
"Come on, Xihan. β
"Let's build a house together!"
