Chapter 22: The Way to Enter the Valley

In order to prevent the wolf, Wu Yicai could only do as many security measures as possible.

He wanted to have set some traps around his house, but there were no trees or anything like that except sand, so there was no way to tie up the traps.

Wu Yicai also felt that ordinary rope traps could not restrain the huge wolf at all.

The rope trap rattan made of pheasants is too thin, and although the sensitivity is there, the wolf can easily break this thin rattan!

The rattan is too thick to be tough enough to restrain a wolf, but it has no sensitivity and is just an ornament......

The plan to protect yourself with a trap is canceled simply because there is no way to achieve it.

At present, Wu Yicai can only improve his security measures as much as possible.

The spear was lost while running, and another one had to be made!

There are still a few small trees in Wu Yicai's fence yard that were broken a while ago, and after careful searching, I found that there are two of them of moderate thickness, and the length and toughness are just right......

These two are perfect for spears.

The spear he made this time was not simply grinding it, he also added another craft......

Carbonization!!

He used sharp stones to polish the basic form of the spear, and then burned it with fire for a while, and the tip of the spear was burned and blackened, which would increase the hardness of the spear and slightly increase the damage of the spear!

Wu Yicai didn't know if this kind of shoddy spear could stab a wolf, maybe he couldn't stab it with a spear......

But the most basic weapons still have to be had, at least when he faces the wolf, he will have a little peace of mind with a spear.

Wu Yicai would be so good if he had iron tools now, a three-edged military thorn, a Spartan spear... It's a pity he doesn't have any of them, and the wolf has sharp fangs and sharp claws!

……

Night fell quickly, and the sky once again appeared ravines, as if torn out by a strong hand, it seems that tonight's night is not good, it should rain.

The house he strengthened the second time was supposed to be able to withstand light or moderate rain, and the leaves on the hut were thick and layered, like tiles on a rural house.

This method of layering the leaves would allow the rain to flow down the leaves to the ground, not into his hut like the last rain.

The last heavy rain taught him a lot.

Wu Yi knew that the rainwater on the ground would gather together and pour it into the hut desperately......

With his last encounter, he thought of a way to deal with stagnant water!

Dig an aqueduct!

He carved a wide and deep aqueduct around the hut, about 10 centimeters deep.

Wu Yicai thought that with this canal, even if there was stagnant water, it would not be irrigated into the hut.

The sea breeze grew stronger, with a hint of coolness in the wind, and the clouds above him began to slowly converge......

"Bang~!"

It's raining!

The weather was a bit eerie, the sun had not yet set in the west, and the fiery clouds were still reflected in the ravine-like clouds in the sky.

There were a large number of clouds gathering above Wu Yicai's head, and the seaside in the distance was still clear, and it seemed that this rain was only going to take care of the island.

This is a good sign, if it rains, he can get a lot of fresh water, unlike the last rain because there was no container, which caused a lot of rainwater to be lost.

He moved the fire and the stored firewood into the hut, which was large enough to hold him and the fire at the same time.

The pheasant was also suspended by him above the fire, and the smoke of the flame would continue to smoke the pheasant.

When it's raining, you can collect rainwater!

Wu Yicai has recently collected at least two dozen plastic bottles, as well as fired pottery bowls and pots, although a few have cracks, and some thick soft clay can be used to store water in the cracks.

Wu Yicai placed all the containers that could store rainwater on the edge of his hut, the mouth of which was close to the leaves on the lower level of the hut.

The rain began to turn from a drizzle to a heavy raindrop, and the rain clicked on the leaves, which converged into a channel of water and then poured into bottles clinging to the leaves......

It seems that he doesn't have to deliberately look for fresh water anymore in the near future, and tonight's rain will help him store a lot of fresh water!

The cottage was really solid, there wasn't a lot of running water, just the occasional little raindrops falling, which was much better than the last splash of irrigation......

The rain on the ground had also flowed down the aqueduct, and the ground he was on was still dry, and the flames were burning comfortably.

Ha ha......

It worked!

Wu Yicai summed up the lesson of the last time and improved the hut, and now he not only did not get caught in the rain, but collected a lot of fresh water because of this rain.

This fresh water can be drunk for a long time, and he can even use this method to collect and preserve fresh water!

This is a very successful improvement and a cumulative experience!

……

It rained all night, Wu Yicai basically didn't sleep in the first half of the night, and he had been watching out for wolves, but in the second half of the night, he couldn't hold it anymore, so he slowly fell asleep.

……

In the early morning, when the rain had stopped, he was awakened by a rush of bird fame, mainly because one bird was calling too happily, and kept calling again, endlessly.

Wu Yicai looked up, and a black bird was puffing out the red air bag on its chest, jumping around in front of another bird, shouting as he jumped!

Feelings are courtship, birds have company, but he is still alone......

The containers that Wu Yicai used to collect rainwater were all filled with water, and he calculated that it was about 20 liters, which was really an unexpected harvest.

The wolf hadn't been here last night, and he wondered if it had never dared to leave the forest......

When I saw it in the past few days, it was in the dense forest, and the farthest was to chase it to the periphery of the dense forest, and it had no intention of leaving the dense forest at all.

It would be best if it didn't come out, so that Wu Yi could stay here safely, but today he felt that it was still necessary for him to take a look at the coastal seaside.

It was the shallow sea full of sharks that he had seen yesterday on the cliff, and only through there could he go to the valley where there was a small river.

In fact, when it comes to the valley below, he has three plans.

The first one is to make a rope out of vines and go straight down from the top of the cliff to the valley.

This plan is the most unfeasible, Wu Yicai has no climbing experience, and there are no long enough vines to support him down......

Although the cliff is 30 meters high, there is a visual error when looking down from a high place, and it is often much higher than you predicted.

One of the most critical problems was that he was now particularly resistant to walking in the dense forest, because he concluded that there were wolves inside......

Climbing into the valley meant walking through the jungle and collecting a lot of vines, which was a time-consuming task.

If Wu Yicai encounters a wolf while collecting vines, then the ending is tragic!

The second option is to make a raft and drift from the sea into the valley, with which he is not afraid of sharks in the sea.

But Wu Yicai was afraid that the raft was not strong enough, in case it was overturned by the waves, or the raft was broken by the scorched rocks, and there was no raft to cross the sea, he would be directly eaten by sharks!

Yesterday I saw at least 20 sharks in the shallow water, and they would easily tear him apart!

The last option, and the safest one, was to see if there was a foothold on the coastal shore over there, and if he could walk along the coast, he would enter the valley intact.

……

When he came to the beach, Wu Yi found that today's sea water was a little abnormal.

Could it be?
