Chapter 130: Howling in the middle of the night
When the evening came, the rain stopped.
As soon as the rain stopped, the temperature rose a bit.
This situation made Xu Yi breathe a sigh of relief, after all, their various reserves were not enough, not enough to deal with the winter.
Looking at the animals here, there should be winter.
After all, roe deer live in the northern regions.
Of course, Xu Yi didn't want winter in the area where he lived.
Hunting in winter can be very difficult, and you may not be able to catch an animal for more than ten days.
In addition, it is necessary to store a large amount of firewood, otherwise it is impossible to chop firewood and burn it in winter. The ones that Xu Yi has in reserve now can't even last for ten days.
There is also a winter coat to protect against the cold, and this Xu Yi and Lu Ke are not ready.
If you want to prepare for winter, you have to do a lot of preparations.
However, winter is not immediately after the temperature drops, otherwise, there are not many groups that can survive it, right?
The organizers couldn't have knocked everyone out so early, so what's the point?
It's only been a month, and compared to 500 days, it's a pitiful time.
"Xu Yi, it's time for dinner. Lu saw that Xu Yi seemed to be in a daze, so he shouted.
"Oh, here it is. Xu Yi came back to his senses and went to wash his face.
"Xu Yi, what were you thinking just now?" Lu Ke asked curiously, after all, she rarely saw Xu Yi in a daze. Couldn't help but add, she added: "It won't be...... Are you thinking about Sister Yan?"
"Think, what do you want her to do. Xu Yi's face couldn't help but blush, although liking Su Yan was his predecessor in this body, it still had a little influence on him.
"I wonder if there will be winter here, and if there is, how many things we should prepare to survive the winter. ”
Winter?
Lu Ke blinked his big eyes, and said with a little doubt: "The weather here is so hot, will there be winter too?"
"It's hard to say, roe deer just live in places with winter. It's really hot here, but there's no 100% certainty that there will be no winter and no snow. Xu Yi touched the back of his neck and said with some concern.
"Then let's prepare for winter?" Lu Ke felt that since there was no way to be sure, he would prepare for the worst.
"Well, that's exactly what I want to do. So, next, we're going to work a little harder. Xu Yi nodded at the landing, to prepare something that was too frozen, naturally it was necessary to do a lot of work and make a lot of preparations.
It is better to build a mud wall in the camp, and it is better to build an earthen fence so that it can better resist the invasion of animals.
In addition, it is necessary to prepare a large amount of wood to ensure the fire and heating needs in winter.
The last one is the food reserve, after all, if they can't hunt prey for a winter, they can only survive the winter on the stored food.
"No matter how hard it is, it's better than eliminating. Lu Ke said nonchalantly, now she can carry a heavy load of seventy or eighty pounds and go on a long journey. So, she is no longer afraid of doing heavy work
"That's right, it's hard now, it's more comfortable in winter. Xu Yi smiled, feeling Lu Kezhi's optimism. This kind of mentality is suitable for perseverance.
After the two of them had dinner, they went back to work.
When the time came, the two of them went to sleep one after another.
In the middle of the night, Xu Yi and Lu Ke were woken up by bursts of roars.
When the two of them woke up, they both grabbed their weapons as soon as they could.
"Xu Yi, what kind of animal's roar is this?" Lu Ke glanced at it, but there was no expression of fear on his face.
"I don't know, it sounds like it's been caught in our rope noose, so it's screaming. Xu Yi explained, and then glanced at the star catalog.
It was only past three o'clock in the evening, and there were still three hours before dawn.
"Then shall we go over and have a look?" Lu Ke turned his head and glanced at Xu Yi.
"Forget it, let's talk about it when it's dawn, it's too dangerous now. "Xu Yi naturally wouldn't enter the forest in the dark, that would be too dangerous. If it were only him, he would dare to take risks.
"Could it be the leopard?" Lu Ke Xu Yi put the hunting bow back and asked curiously.
If you can catch the leopard, it will be safer nearby.
"It's hard to say, we don't really know about any animals around here. Xu Yi replied, for example, the steel-clawed ground wolf mentioned in Wang Jin and Lu Yao's mission, Xu Yi had never seen it.
So, it may not be the leopard that Lu can see.
"Our rope sleeves are still good, and we can arrange a few more, which is much less labor-saving than hunting. Lu Ke also put down the short crossbow and sat back on the bed.
"Well, tomorrow I will rub some hemp rope out, and I can arrange a few more. Xu Yi also felt that the trap was more labor-saving, but the probability was lower.
"If the hemp rope is enough, we can also weave a fishing net bar?" Lu Ke saw Xu Yi walk to the place where the wine was placed, and followed.
Xu Yi nodded, fishing nets are also a very good tool, not only for fishing, but sometimes also for catching other animals.
Xu Yi opened the lid and glanced at it, and then said: "This wine is almost fermented, you can filter it tomorrow, and then seal it for secondary fermentation." ”
"And then we have wine to drink?" Lu Ke had never drunk wine before, so he didn't know what wine tasted like. So, I wanted to try this.
"Well, the second fermentation should only be a week. A week later, we had our own wine. By the way, tomorrow we will go and pick the wild grapes back, which can be dried into raisins. Xu Yi felt that if he didn't pick them, maybe all those grapes would fall to the ground.
"Great, I haven't drunk yet, and I didn't expect the first time I drank wine, it turned out to be my own wine. Lu Ke came over and smelled it, it was all fruity, and he felt that the wine should taste very good, so he looked forward to it.
Xu Yi smiled slightly, and did not intend to destroy Lu Ke's sense of anticipation.
After all, in addition to drinking, wine can also be added to the broth to get rid of some fishy smells.
The taste of the wine, Xu Yi didn't think it was very good. He himself is not a person who likes to drink. Whether it is beer, red wine, or white wine, there is nothing Xu Yi likes to drink.
Outside, the roar of the animals continued.
After all, just being caught in a rope doesn't endanger its life.
It's going to be screaming until it's exhausted.
Unless, some other beast appears and attacks it. Otherwise, this roar will continue for a long time.
