Chapter 205: Lu Ke is going to attack
"Okay, then find a suitable spot around here again. It will indeed take more time to get these two dozen knotless bamboos back. Xu Yi felt that Lu Ke's suggestion was right, this time was mainly spent on the road, and it was all meaningless.
If it goes well, before twelve o'clock in the evening, Xu Yi can cut down seven or eight trees again.
It's a bit of a waste of effort over there, but in contrast, it's more time-saving and labor-saving to find the right one here and start over.
People sometimes have to make some sacrifices.
If you hold on to something and don't give up, you may have to put in more time and energy.
Soon, Xu Yi found a more suitable place, only more than a hundred meters away from the knotted bamboo.
After choosing the location, Xu Yi did not go to cut down the tree.
Instead, he took out a dagger and began to dig holes in the knotless bamboo.
"Xu Yi, what is this for?" Lu Ke asked puzzledly, after all, she couldn't understand Xu Yi's operation. Why hollow out a good unknotted bamboo?
"The inner wall of this kind of bamboo is very thick, twice as thick as ordinary bamboo. So, it is definitely very strong when used to make ladders. Xu Yi explained, telling Lu Ke why he wanted to dig holes in the knotless bamboo.
"Ladders, this is good, after having a ladder, it will not be so difficult to cut down trees. Lu Ke glanced at Xu Yi with great admiration, she thought that this knotless bamboo could be used to divert water, and it could also be used as a beam for a stilted building, but she didn't think that it could be used to make a ladder.
The role of this ladder can be not small, with it, not only the cutting of trees has become more convenient, but even the construction of stilted buildings is much more convenient. And after the stilted building is built, a ladder is also needed to go up and down the stilted building.
The ladder didn't need to be too long, so Xu Yi cut off the end one.
The end is only one-third the thickness of the bottom, so it is just right to be used as a crossbar for a ladder. In this way, you can make a ladder with just two of them.
Perhaps because this knotted bamboo has no bamboo joints, it is particularly straight and does not bend at all.
"Xu Yi, you make a ladder here, then I'll go pick up some firewood." "After all, you have to stay at night, and there is no way to stay overnight without enough firewood.
"Well, be careful, don't go far. With that, Xu Yi handed his machete to Lu Ke.
Lu Ke nodded, took the machete, and then went to the neighborhood to find firewood.
There were still a lot of broken trees that were affected by the storm, and Lu Ke walked a few hundred meters before he saw a broken tree.
Cutting down the branches, then cutting them into short pieces and carrying them back, and finally carrying the main trunk back, was enough to burn for one night.
Lu Ke brought the firewood back one after another, and then Xu Yi was still digging holes there. Because of the limited tools, Xu Yi could only rely on a dagger. Fortunately, his dagger was sharp enough, otherwise he would have been even more sleepy.
After getting the fire and tools from Xu Yi, Lu Ke lit the fire himself, and then led the rabbits and ducks to deal with it.
When it got dark, Lu Ke skinned and slaughtered the two rabbits, as well as the wild duck.
The duck is chopped into small pieces and put in a pot to cook the soup.
Rabbit meat, grilled and eaten.
Lu Ke did these jobs very well.
It's been 50 days and she's been working out.
"Xu Yi, barbecue can be eaten. After Lu Ke saw that the barbecue was finished, he called Xu Yi.
"Well, let's eat first. Xu Yi stopped what he was doing, and then sat down with Lu Ke to have dinner.
"This duck soup is really good, there is no fishy smell. After Xu Yi took a sip of duck soup, he said with satisfaction.
"Well, if only I could get it often. Lu Ke is also quite satisfied with this soup, and it is not worse than the chicken soup he drank before.
"When we met a group, there were quite a few of them. Xu Yi smiled slightly, this wish can still be realized. Stewed one in two days, and by the end of the day, there were more than two hundred, Xu Yi felt that this big forest was still very possible.
"But it's not easy to catch, you can only shoot one at a time, and the rest will run away. Lu Ke and Xu Yi originally wanted to shoot a few more, but these wild ducks had good flying ability, and they all flew away at the first word, without giving them a second chance.
"In the future, make a net and give them a net. Xu Yi said, he felt that he could use the unknotted bamboo to develop a weapon, and if it was successful, it would be very powerful.
Hearing Xu Yi's words, Lu Ke's eyes couldn't help but light up.
This is fine, as long as there is the right material, she can weave the nets.
After dinner, Xu Yi continued to work, Xu Yi had already completed more than half of those holes, and after giving him more than two hours, he could dig the remaining holes.
Lu Ke took the sapper shovel and prepared to dig a small ditch.
In this way, it will be convenient to get water later.
What they want to build is a stilted building, and the water here is so slow that it cannot but lead to a stilted building with a height of more than 2.5 meters.
Therefore, it is necessary to dig a canal to bring the water over.
In addition, if she wants to make pottery, she also uses water to make clay.
At about 10 o'clock, Xu Yi finally finished the ladder.
In order to prevent the ladder from collapsing, Xu Yi used a lot of bark to tie the ladder tightly.
"Xu Yi, go and sleep for a while. Lu saw that Xu Yi put up the ladder and reminded Xu Yi.
She has successfully dug more than half of the canal, after all, this small canal does not need to be very large, the width is the width of the sapper shovel, and it is not dug very deep, and the sapper shovel is submerged into the depth, which is more labor-saving.
"Well, I'm going to go and rest for a while, and then I'll change you. Xu Yi glanced at the time, and then moved his body. After all, after a long time of work, it is a little sour.
I started to sleep at ten o'clock, and I could sleep for about five hours, and then I got up and changed to Lu Ke.
Although there was no fur to use to pad, Lu Keque had collected a lot of leaves, and it was much better to use them for mating than to lie directly on the ground.
Although the temperature is not high at night, they seem to be gradually getting used to it.
When Xu Yi was sleeping, Lu Ke was holding a short crossbow and was vigilant about the situation around him.
More than an hour later, Lu Ke heard a movement, and immediately stood up and turned his head to look over there.
It's a fox, a white fox.
Lu Ke Erhua didn't say anything, pulled the trigger, and the crossbow arrow shot at the white fox.
Then, she drew another bolt and loaded it into the short crossbow, ready to shoot at the fox.
Lu Ke saw that the fox turned his head and wanted to pull out the crossbow arrow, so he put down the short crossbow and drew his dagger.
She felt that she could use this fox to practice her hands.
Although the fox is also a carnivore, it is weaker than the wolf. Perhaps, not even a dog. It is perfect for practicing for yourself.
