Chapter 59: The Trap Complete

The two of them ate and chatted, and soon ate all the fungus and Houttuynia cordata.

"It would be nice if I had vegetables all the time. Lu Ke chewed the last fungus in his mouth and said with some expectation.

"Houttuynia cordata is a lot, but you can't eat it every day, after all, it is still a medicinal herb, and I am afraid that eating too much is not very good for the body. "There are still a lot of houttuynia that Xu Yi found, enough for them to eat for a long time.

And where the environment is suitable for the growth of Houttuynia cordata, it will grow back after eating one piece.

"Next time we'll go together, hopefully discover some better vegetables. Lu Ke nodded, and also felt that Houttuynia cordata could not be eaten more. Its fiber is relatively coarse, and eating too much is indeed not very friendly to the stomach.

"Okay, in two days, let's figure out the things in the camp in these two days. Xu Yi agreed to Lu Ke's proposal, after all, it was indeed necessary to explore the surroundings.

"Okay. Lu Ke nodded, then looked at Xu Yi, and then asked, "What about the afternoon, how to arrange it?"

"You get the kiln thing in the earthen kiln, I'll stick the barbs of the trap into the dirt. Xu Yi said, just after eating, it is not suitable for work.

"Understood. Lu Ke cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and prepared to rest for more than ten minutes to start the matter of the earthen kiln.

After resting for about a while, Xu Yi held the wooden stick that had been sharpened before and began to install the barbs.

One by one, the barbs were inserted into the inner soil by Xu Yi, forming sharp spikes. In this way, it can be regarded as a relatively complete trap.

Xu Yi was planting barbs, and Lu Ke stirred the soil with water, and then kept stepping on the soil with his feet to make them even.

Separated by a fence, the two men were busy with their own business.

The barbs arranged by Xu Yi are not dense, after all, this is mainly used for defense, not a trap for hunting.

So, it only took two and a half hours for Xu Yi to insert all the barbs into the soil.

Then he took the machete and went to cut the thatch.

Bundles of thatch were carried back by him and laid on top of the traps.

"That's it!"

Xu Yi looked at the trap that had been arranged, and then showed a relieved smile.

For now, the defense of the camp has been improved.

If the wolves attacked, Xu Yi was not so worried.

It was already more than 5 o'clock after completing these tasks, and Xu Yi returned to the courtyard.

Lu Ke was still working on clay bricks, and his head was covered with sweat.

"Take a break, I'll come. Xu Yi walked over and said.

Lu Ke nodded, because she saw that Xu Yi was in a good state, and he shouldn't be very tired.

"It's so nice to sweat. Lu Ke wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile.

In the past, she was particularly envious of the kind of girl who often exercised and the kind of girl who could run a marathon. Because, her body is not good, there is no way to do strenuous exercise at all.

After nine days in this world, she finally realized what it means to sweat like rain.

"It's not easy to sweat, but there are many places to do physical work in the future. Xu Yi grinned.

This is in the wilderness, and if you want to have a high quality of life, you must put in a lot of effort.

"There's nothing wrong with that, right?" Xu Yi kept stirring the dirt in the mud puddle with his own feet, making them more even.

"Well, that's fine. Lu Ke nodded, after all, this is not a difficult matter, it is still easy to master.

After more than ten minutes, Lu Ke asked Xu Yi to get the dirt out of the mud pit. Then shovel one side of the dry soil into the mud pit, add a certain amount of water, and then stir it up.

After a process, Xu Yi knew how to get it.

This job is indeed not so easy, the whole body has to be strenched, no wonder Lu Ke made himself sweat profusely.

Stirring once, you can make 5 mud bricks, which is not bad at this speed.

"Xu Yi, don't do it yet, rest for a while and get ready to eat." Lu Ke glanced at the boiling water in the pot, turned his head and said something to Xu Yi.

There are not many dried fish, at most for three days, and then it will enter the stage of no food.

"Okay, isn't there a lot of food in the house?" Xu Yi stopped, and then got the dirt out of the mud pit.

"Well, it should last three more days. Lu Ke originally planned to talk to Xu Yi, but he didn't expect Xu Yi to take the initiative to mention it.

"Okay, I see. Xu Yi nodded, indicating that he understood.

Three days is quite a lot of time.

It's really not good, you can go to the beach to pick up some shells, or you can deal with it for two days.

During this time, he had to find suitable materials for making bows and arrows.

There are no iron arrows, and there are no bone arrows, and if you rely only on the wood itself, you must find dense and hard-working wood, so as to ensure that the bow and arrow can pierce the animal's fur and shoot into the muscles.

If you're lucky, you can do it in one day.

If you're unlucky, you may not be able to find a suitable wood for a bow and arrow for a few months.

Not only bows and arrows, but also many traps are needed.

After all, Xu Yi still has the idea of wolves.

Tomorrow, it's better to find the right wood first.

Thinking about things, Xu Yi made the clay into mud bricks of basically the same size, and washed himself.

At night, there was only fish fillet soup, and Lu Ke did not continue to cook Houttuynia cordata.

After dinner, the two of them chatted for a while, and then continued to make mud bricks.

"Whew!"

Suddenly, a wolf howl rang out.

Lu Ke immediately became nervous, and immediately said, "Xu Yi, is this a wolf?"

Xu Yi listened carefully, and then said, "It's a little far away from us, and it seems to be attacking some animal." ”

Lu Ke listened carefully, and indeed heard the screams of some animals.

"Don't worry, we've dug traps, wolves aren't felines, they can't help us. Xu Yi comforted Lu Ke.

What he said was things, canines were no better than felines, and there wasn't much they could do about the fence.

It's hard to say about cats, after all, they can even climb trees. The fence is more than a meter high, and it is almost impossible to stop them.

Fortunately, cats are almost solitary, and even if they don't live alone, they come out to hunt almost females, and rarely come out in pairs.

The wolves howled for a while and then subsided, presumably taking down their prey.

Xu Yi continued to work with the clay, completely unaffected.

Maybe it was Xu Yi's calmness that infected Lu Ke, and it also made her nervous gradually calm down.

"Xu Yi, I got so many mud bricks today, it should be enough. Lu Ke looked at the rows of mud bricks under the eaves and said a word to Xu Yi.

"You go take a shower first, I'll get some more. When there are more mud bricks, we can also get a serious stove, so you don't have to squat all the time to cook. Xu Yi said his plan.
