Chapter 177: Blackwater Swamp (10)

Add water to the aluminum pot, turn all the lichens over, let the half that has not been roasted also get wet, get rid of the insects, and Liu Danqing continues to build their shelter.

"Now, I'm going to cut down about twenty tree trunks in their early two meters, this time our trunks are of different thicknesses, because the place is too small, resources are scarce, and the sun has set, and now this dim light is the last ray, and soon, this place will be in the dark, and whatever we do, it will be difficult, so I used the fastest speed to cut enough trunks."

"Although the trunks are of different thicknesses, we have lichens, and these soft and thick mattresses can make up for this defect and make us sleep a little more comfortably."

"I'll lay the bed slats first......"

Just when Liu Danqing was busy laying the bed board, Xiao Weiwei asked coldly: "Qingqing, we still have to take turns to be on duty at night, right?" ”

"yes? There is a lot of danger here, and we can't take it lightly, so we have to take turns on the night, what's wrong? ”

"That'...... Why do you make your bed so wide? Only one person can sleep horizontally, so you can spread it narrowly, so that you can use a tree trunk of about the same thickness and sleep comfortably. ”

"Uh......"

Liu Danqing was stupid, he unconsciously made a habit mistake, he always felt that two people needed to build a double bed to survive, but he didn't expect that there must be someone on duty at night, so even if he took a double bed, he slept alone.

"Well, I was wrong, empiricism kills people!"

Liu Danqing immediately admitted his mistake, picked twelve tree trunks of about the same thickness and spread them on the bed, and the mattress was not in a hurry, waiting for them to roast for a while.

Then, he walked to the fire again, put the crocodile tail that had been boiled for a while on the grill, Liu Danqing put the remaining tail meat pieces into the pot, and then picked up a burning wooden stick as a torch, went to the river and scooped some water into the aluminum pot.

As for Xiao Weiwei, now she is known as the Wilderness Chef, and she is busy taking care of those crocodile tails, and in her free time, she has to take out dried chili peppers and grind them into chili powder.

And she also took two pieces of smoked python meat and baked them on the side of the grill, ready to wait for them to be softer, and then pad their stomachs, this crocodile tail is not able to be roasted in a while.

Liu Danqing looked at the busy Xiao Weiwei and said: "If you are idle, you will be idle, let me build a roof for the shelter, although it will not rain on this day, but there is a canopy, which can make us sleep warmer and more comfortable." ”

As he said, he now had two pillars on the tree near the fire, and then put a beam on the pole more than a meter above the ground.

Then he went to the big tree next to him and cut down seven or eight branches with leaves, and removed the twigs from one side of the branch, and put the branches on the beams facing up, and the tail on the side of the shelter away from the fire.

In this way, a sloping roof was erected, and he put all the severed twigs on the roof, and then he went to cut down many twigs and threw them all onto the roof.

"Well, even if our roof is built, although it is not waterproof, it will be a little ventilated, but it can still help us isolate a lot of cold air, and this triangular space can well wrap the heat from the fire."

"Next, I'm going to plug up both ends of the shelter, and now that it's getting dark, I can just cut some branches around the fire."

In just ten minutes, Liu Danqing covered three sides of the shelter plus the roof, leaving only the side near the fire empty, simple but practical.

Xiao Weiwei saw that Liu Danqing had fixed the roof, so she called him over and ate python meat together, but now the two looked at the crocodile tail strips that began to sizzle on the grill, but they no longer felt that the python meat in their hands was delicious.

Barbecue is the most domineering at this point, fragrant, the fat in the meat is forced out by the high temperature, and the aromatic quality is transformed, which is thick and fragrant, and it is extremely attractive.

The taste is a bit exaggerated with chewing wax, but the two of them eat python meat listlessly.

After eating the python meat, Liu Danqing took out the remaining meat pieces and put them on the grill, made a simple spoon and tasted the milky white soup in the pot, smashed it and smashed it, and said: "It's a bit bland, by the way, these bones are also a waste of putting them away, throw them in and cook them, try to see if you can cook the soup thicker." ”

Liu Danqing had a whim, put the two big bones left over from the meat just into the aluminum pot, boiled them, and tried to boil a pot of big bone soup.

"It's a pity that this aluminum pot doesn't have a lid, otherwise, this soup should be boiled, and the soup will taste the best."

Liu Danqing, who was empty again, watched Xiao Weiwei continue to be busy cooking crocodile meat, and said: "Idle is idle, I'll make a sofa, these lichens have been baked, and now the bed is smaller, so you don't need so much lichen, so make the rest into a sofa, and you can be comfortable at night." ”

Liu Danqing first spread the four lichens on the bed, then put the remaining four aside, dismantled all the shelves for roasting lichens, and put away the vines for later use.

"I'm going to make the base of the sofa now, and I'm going to use the wood that's just left over from the bed frame."

He moved the two pieces of thick wood that he had just chopped down, and he didn't trim them anymore, and placed them directly about a meter apart, parallel to the fire.

Unlike the bed frame, which is parallel to the fire, the two thick logs are placed perpendicular to the fire.

Then he cut off three tree trunks about 1.5 meters thick, sharpened one end, and erected them side by side 60 centimeters from the side of the wood near the fire, and took one of the roots as a hammer, and knocked it diagonally into the soil for about thirty or forty centimeters.

"Alright, the shelves of our couch are set up, and next, I'm going to cut some grooves in the thick wood, and then put the trunk in, with these grooves, the trunk won't roll at will."

"Then there was the backrest, and I tied two trunks to the three slanted trunks, and the backrest shelf was finished."

"The last is the cushion, first of all, the cushion for the backrest, I use vines through the lichen and tie them to the backrest shelf, the lichen is tougher, it doesn't matter if you buckle two holes in the corners and tie it."

"My idea is this, two lichens are tied vertically on the backrest of one side, as a night watch, and there is a position not to tie the lichen, anyway, there is only one position on the night duty."

"Finally, there is the cushion, spread the two lichens onto the seat, and the sofa is complete."

Liu Danqing finally patted the sawdust on his hand and beckoned: "Weiwei, come and try this sofa and feel it." ”

Xiao Weiwei was already eager to try, but the persistence of foodies made her stick to her cooking post, and when she heard Liu Danqing's greeting, she hurried over and walked in the night duty position.

"Well, it's soft, it's a little hot, it's so comfortable!"
