Chapter 232: The Diligent Wang Ping (3/5)

Because they were blocked by Wang Ping with the bee colony for several hours, after everyone went ashore, they dried their clothes, dried their shoes, and had lunch by the way. By the time Ding Yi beckoned everyone to start building the shelter, the time had already come to three o'clock.

A certain badger felt guilty, and this time he was embarrassed to hide to the side and bask in the sun. The calves are open, running around handing tools to everyone or carrying branches, especially attentive.

Of course, there are exceptions. For example, Yang Xu has never seen a badger come to help.

At this time, Yang Xu, because his face was so swollen, simply removed one of the sleeves on the T-shirt and tied it on his face. Only a pair of eyes were revealed, and no one could see his expression at this time.

The location of the shelter should not be built directly next to the water source, so as not to be attacked by drinking beasts. But it's not too far away, and at the same time, you have to take care of the beach side, so that everyone can find food. The final selection was on a sandy area of nearly 50 meters at the edge of the woods to the southeast.

It's about 600 meters from the water source, which is a bit far, but the advantage is that it's open enough. Here, the beach stretches out into the woods in a convex shape, flanked by tall red trees. Outside the sheltered woods on the south side, there is a reef surrounded by the coast. The location of the shelter was chosen on the south side.

Seeing that the day is almost over, reality does not allow everyone to pick and choose. After demarcating an area of about 20 meters, the group decided to build three shacks side by side. Two girls in one place and two boys in one place. In this way, except for the people who keep vigil every night, there are exactly two people in one place.

In the current situation, in order to avoid embarrassment, Gu Laosan will definitely not sleep in the same shack as Yang Xu. So he followed Han Daxia all the way.

Ding Yi took a sapper shovel and searched the forest for suitable branches and arm-thick wooden poles to build shelter. Yang Xu was looking for small pieces of reefs along the coast to move back, making tools and pressing the foot of the hut.

A few others remained, each holding a flattened branch to level the selected ground. Yi Jiuyang used the basket used by someone to "set" the seagull before, dragged it over with sand one by one, and poured it on the open ground to raise the foundation.

Li Mengdie and Hu Li went on to weave the mats, both to be laid out in future shelters and to be used as curtains to cover roofs or walls.

Wang Ping saw that he went around in a circle, and no one wanted to see him. With a roll of his eyes, he ran back to the place where everyone was originally camping, pulled off Gu Laosan's coat that was hanging there, followed Yi Jiuyang's example, piled the sand inside, and ran with his little paws to the place where everyone laid the foundation.

"Ah...... My clothes ...... "A certain salted fish had just stepped on the sand poured out by Yi Jiuyang, when he saw a certain badger pulling a piece of sand in front of him with a familiar coat.

"Haha! Boss did a great job!"

Hu Li, who was weaving straw mats in the open space on the side, applauded. Everyone also laughed when they saw the movement of a certain badger.

"What are you shouting?" Han Daxia smiled at Gu Lang and said, "People are helping us work, you should praise it!"

"You said it was lightweight, but you didn't use your clothes!"

Gu Laosan glared at him, and then saw that Ding Yi was dragging a few small logs back, so he shouted at him: "Hey, Lao Ding, you can quickly make another basket for my boss!"

"Humph!"

Ding Yi dragged the log to the foundation, looked at his two arms of different thicknesses, snorted coldly, ignored someone, turned around and left.

Several people saw Gu Laosan hit the wall, and they all secretly laughed.

When the ground was almost high, everyone helped Ding Yi drag back the rest of the logs he had chopped. Cut off the branches and pile them aside, then dig a pit around the foundation, and erect four logs with a "Ya" shape on the outside.

Viewed from the side, the hut is in the shape of a right-angled triangle, with three rectangular entrances separated by pillars. The roof is built on beams with logs, extended back to the ground, covered with straw mat branches, and covered with a layer of sand, so that the effect of waterproofing and sheltering from the wind is achieved.

Because there were no tools such as wires or chisels, Ding Yi, at Yang Xu's suggestion, chose a few small logs with thick forks at the top as the goalposts. In this way, the beam is placed on top of the fork, and it looks very strong if it is fixed with vines.

If these things were done by one person, it would probably take a long time. However, when there are more people, many problems do not exist. By the time the sun was about to set, the general structure of the shelter was almost complete.

They dug a pit in the clearing and lit a bonfire. The two girls were preparing dinner, while the others continued to work while it was still dark.

Behind the two door posts in the middle, Ding Yi dug two 20-centimeter-wide ditches vertically with a sapper shovel, and waited until two logs were placed on the door beams above, and then used a short branch to vertical the ditch along the gap between the two logs in the middle, and then filled with soil to form a spaced wall.

However, because of the long delay at noon, I am afraid that it will be midnight when the shelter is fully built.

By the campfire, the marching pot was already set up on the fire and boiling water. Hu Li was squatting on the side, stacking the conch and scallops that had been washed on the beach in a steamer paved with mountain leaves, and there was a new steamer made by Ding Yi next to him, in which a sea fish was placed.

was busy working, when I saw Wang Ping grabbing a piece of fragrant beeswax on his little paws, and walked over. Seeing Hu Li looking at him, a smile appeared on Mao's face.

Hu Li's eyes bent, and he wanted to beckon him to come over to play. However, thinking of the plan agreed upon by the anchors in the afternoon with a certain badger on their backs, he coughed lightly, and deliberately straightened his face, pretending that he had not lost his breath.

"What are you doing here?"

"Hey, the little girl is really hard to coax......" Wang Ping scratched his face with some distress, but then remembered the purpose of his visit, so he accompanied the smiling face again, and handed over the piece of honey with his little paws, while pointing to the fish in the steamer.

Although a day has passed, the idea of steamed fish with honey still lingers in the mind of a badger. Seeing that it was time to make dinner, a certain badger hurriedly ran to break a piece of the beehive he had hidden, and sent it to Hu Li upside down.

"Steamed fish with this?"

Hu Li only thought about it for a while, and then he felt that this idea was good, he was deeply rooted in the essence of foodies, and he was a like-minded person...... The badger. Just as he was about to reach out to take it, he heard a slight buzzing sound, and a bee crawled out of the small hole in the beeswax and flapped its wings, and its face changed instantly.

"Crunch!"

A small fluffy paw reached over instantly, grabbed the bee and shook it fiercely, and then threw it aside, while the little paw stood up at its mouth and winked at Hu Li.

"Shhh~ Don't shout, there's no more!

A badger showed off the beeswax that was gone, but Hu Li shook his head.

"Pour the honey into it yourself, I don't dare take it!" the little girl shook her head like a rattle, and at the same time pointed to a certain badger and said, "Also, you just stand there, don't come here!"
