Chapter 24: The Camp That Begins to Take Shape
It can be learned that the underground cave where Liu Yong's people were located before was obviously excavated by people must have been built by these guys.
But now that I know that these guys are human, then my previous worries are gone, everyone is two arms and two legs, who is afraid of whom? Anyway, there is no law in this hellish place, if I catch them next time, I will kill them.
Then I officially sent an "invitation to join the family" to Amy, and when I invited Amy, Zhou Qiqi kept making some strange snorts next to her, and then I glared at me and then stopped talking.
But Amy had no reason to refuse, she was also alone now, and it was when she needed to find a companion, so she agreed almost immediately.
"Great!" I clapped my hands, and said that fresh blood had finally joined us: "Amy, in order to welcome you to join, let's stew mutton soup and drink it today!
However, this Amy didn't react much to my "overtures", just nodded lightly and said "thank you".
I walked up to the wild goat that had been pierced through the heart by a homemade spear, and the goat had completely lost its breath, and I pulled out the spear, and found that the spearhead was still studded with a metal thorn, and I thought it was just a stick sharpened.
I took the spear in my hand and danced it twice, and found it quite right.
That's good, we now have three official weapons: a hatchet, a fruit knife, and this spear that's a man tall.
The two guys we had just run away seemed to be very accustomed to this kind of jungle life, and it was clear that they had pierced the wild goats to death with this spear in the air, which was not something ordinary people could do, unless it was an old hunter.
These two guys did a good thing for us, and they actually brought the wild goats that I had never been able to find before.
I put the carcass of the wild goat on my back and took the two beauties back towards the place of the stream.
When I got to the edge of the stream, I told Amy to sit down and rest for a while, and at the same time beckoned Zhou Qiqi to follow me to wash the sheep by disemboweling it.
Zhou Qiqi said with a disgusted expression: "Why are you bullying me again!"
"Damn, who bullied you?" I glared and said, "I want to bully you, haven't I always had a chance?"
Zhou Qiqi's face turned red again: "I mean, you asked me to do this kind of dirty work again!"
"What then? are you going to let the injured people do the work?" I whispered to Amy in the distance, "Hurry up! ”
Zhou Qiqi squatted down beside me with a reluctant look, only to see her shake her two little hands in front of me and said, "It's a pity that my jade hands are gone." ”
"Just accept your fate. I said, "You are the body of a princess, the life of a maid." ”
Zhou Qiqi immediately "bah" twice.
I didn't continue to argue with her, because I was afraid that Chen Mengyu and Xia Ran in the cave would be anxious after a long time, so I threw the wild goat on the edge of the stream and was ready to start working.
This wild goat is not big, about 20 catties.
Here I used the knowledge that my second uncle taught me in the past, he was responsible for slaughtering the pigs and sheep during the New Year's holidays, and I had seen him more than once how to turn a living lamb into a piece of mutton, so I am still very familiar with how to kill sheep.
I first hung the carcass upside down with a few branches, and then cut the throat of the sheep with a knife to bleed, during which I was afraid of the smell of blood and attracted the wolf, so I told Amy to pay more attention to the side, and at the same time I kept an eye on it, ready to go up the tree at any time......
This fruit knife didn't cut it, if it wasn't for my strength enough, plus I also had some knife skills, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to cut it at all.
"You're really ruthless. Zhou Qiqi looked at me with a palpitating look on her face.
"There's nothing ruthless about it. I said, "It's called eating the jungle, and if you don't kill the sheep, where will you get the mutton to eat?"
After the bloodshed, I dragged the sheep back to the stream, first cut off all the limbs, then skinned them, and then disemboweled, and then dug out the internal organs.
It took nearly an hour before it was finished, and Zhou Qiqi actually vomited a few times during the period......
When we took the mutton and returned to the cave with the new member Amy, Chen Mengyu rushed towards me with an arrow and hugged me tightly.
"Xiao Chen, you're scared me to death!Why did you go for so long?I thought something was wrong with you!"
I was a little flattered, smiled awkwardly, and then pointed to Xia Ran behind me and the mutton on my back and said, "I saved a person and killed a sheep, so it took a long time." ”
Chen Mengyu noticed Amy with a shocked face.
Then I saw Xia Ran step forward and throw a string of English at Amy, but Amy quickly said that she could speak Chinese, and Xia Ran asked her what her origin was.
I briefly talked about the previous situation, and told these two girls that they don't have to worry about the inexplicable "monsters" before, there are no monsters in this world, only people who pretend to be monsters.
They were both very happy to have Amy on board, and we soon started preparing for the "lamb dinner".
That's when I realized that the lamb soup I had just mentioned was obviously a little unrealistic, because we didn't have a pot...... Taking a step back, even if we have a pot, we don't have condiments such as onions, ginger and garlic, so the mutton soup stewed in this way can kill people......
With our current conditions, we can only skewer the lamb on a stick and grill it over a fire......
But even so, a few of us still ate with relish.
We don't have any freezing equipment, and the temperature on the island is very high, so the lamb is not destined to be put on the next day, so we plan to eat as much as possible during this half of the day.
After all, this lamb is no easier than bird meat, and I don't think I can easily catch a wild goat with my current technique......
From noon to evening, we ate a total of four meals of mutton, and at the end of the meal everyone's stomachs were supported by Lao Gao, and it was difficult to walk, but there was still a lot of mutton left, and finally we let the sentries solve all the remaining mutton.
That's right, the sentry is the black dog, and I gave it the name, because this black dog stands vigilantly on the small stone platform outside the cave with its head raised and looks around, except when it is lying down to sleep, and it has the feeling of a sentry.
The day after we had eaten and drank, with Amy on board, we finally started to build the fence much faster.
This Amy is really much more reliable than ordinary men, although on the surface it looks similar to Chen Mengyu and them, they are all that kind of slender type, but if you look closely, you can find that she actually has a lot of bulging muscles, especially on her arms, which are far more powerful than ordinary men.
I guess tying the previous two me together is not her opponent.
Amy and I began to take turns cutting down more and more of the thinner trees, and then cutting the trunks into small short logs, and with a large number of branches and weeds, we began to gradually fill in the gaps between the large columns.
As I had expected, it wasn't really a lot of work, and since we didn't have anything in place, we had to stuff the gaps as much as we could, and often they would collapse halfway through, and we would have to start all over again.
Later, Chen Mengyu and Xia Ran also joined in, and our process was slightly accelerated.
During this period, Xia Ran made a big stone on the small stone platform outside the cave, and used scratches to record the number of days we had every day, and it took us more than ten days to build the entire fence.
On the twentieth day of our arrival on the island, we completed the final process of the fence, which was to make a small hidden door for us to enter and exit next to the fence near the rocky mountain.
Now that our shelter camp is beginning to take shape, the only thing missing seems to be all kinds of furniture and tools, and if we can get our hands on them, we can call it a small home.
Soon after, though, something happened that we got our hands on all of this.
