004 Habitat

Early the next morning, I took inventory of what I had brought with me.

Yu Ruo helped on the side, stuffing some lighter bottles and cans into his backpack.

"Hand axes, firearms, binoculars, knives, gloves, shotguns, bullets. She counted and looked at me in surprise.

"You're going to have to bring that?"

I pinned my small satchel to my waist and pointed to the nine boxes of unopened raincoats, "Isn't there still it?"

Yu Ruo blushed and said, "The backpack you brought is so big, I thought you brought a lot of things......

"I'm different from you, and the things I bring are more practical. ”

"Isn't it possible to drill wood to make fire?" Yu Ruo looked curious when he held the firearm.

I laughed and said, "It's a trivial matter to make a fire, I don't want to waste time and energy on it, if you like to drill wood to make a fire, try it yourself." ”

Yu Ruo gave me a blank look and began to clean up the things he had brought.

Well, I threw away several bags, but there were still three big bags.

One she carried, one I carried, and a medical kit she straddled her waist.

After counting my luggage, I stood on the trunk of a tree and looked ahead.

"There are no wild beasts in a radius of several miles, today we are going to get out of this peninsula and reach the location of the mountain, it should be ten miles away, so we will replenish some food first. ”

I took off my glasses and planted a few fruits in the bread tree.

The breadfruit is similar in appearance to jackfruit, and when cut with a knife, the flesh is white and has a starchy fragrance.

"Can this be eaten?" Yu Ruo looked puzzled as he held a cantaloupe-sized breadfruit.

"Of course you can eat it, but it has to be cooked to taste great, at this stage we continue to eat compressed biscuits, and I'll make them for you when we set up the stove." ”

I stuffed a slice of breadfruit into my bag, took the biscuits that were handed to me, and ate to my heart's content.

"I want to eat crayfish......" Yu Ruo, who had eaten compressed biscuits for a day, began to complain again.

"Miss, this is not a modern city, there are no lobsters, but ......," I said, glancing at the endless sea.

"But what?" Yu Ruo looked at me with bright eyes.

"When we finish the house, we can go back and get you some shrimp. ”

"Hahaha, you're the best!" Yu Ruo excitedly raised his hands, turned his head and kissed me on the face.

I wiped the saliva from my face and came down from the tree.

"Since we want to eat something delicious, let's hurry up. ”

Ten miles is not far, especially walking on such sandy ground, which is very wasteful.

The fierce temperatures combined with the hot and humid sea breeze took us all morning.

"Zhao Fan, let's set up camp here!"

Yu Ruo drew a circle in front of me, and seemed very satisfied with it.

I observed that we were in the very middle of the island, in front of which was a submersible bend surrounded by a peninsula, and the water was not deep.

The most satisfying thing is that there are a few large rocks here, and there are endless towering trees on the side.

I stood on sand and thin grass, and not far away there were several stout bread trees that kept out the scorching sun.

"It's a good vision, but if you're building a house, it's better to choose there. ”

I pointed to a herringbone 10 meters away, which was about eight meters tall and wide enough to save a lot of effort to make a wall.

Yu Ruo held his chin and looked serious, "Well, relying on the boulder, and it is not under the high mountains, and it is before the tropical desert climate and the rainforest climate, it is convenient for cutting and exploration, young man, you have a better vision." ”

I gave her a blank look, found an open sandy area, picked up some branches, and started to make a fire.

"Now that you've decided to build a house here, let's get moving. ”

I handed the knife to Yu Ruo and took out the hand axe myself.

"You first clean up the weeds on the back of the rocks, and remember, if you encounter scorpions or something, just use fire to expel them. "Along the way, the beasts seem to be hiding, but there are a lot of small insects.

Especially poisonous scorpions, lizards and the like.

Yu Ruo looked confident, threw away the scimitar with some weight, twisted his butt and went to work.

I hung my backpack on the bushes, looked around with my goggles, and noticed signs of animal fights not far away.

"It seems that I have to continue sleeping in the trees for the past few days, and there are traces of hyena activity nearby, and when I have finished hunting them, it will be quiet. ”

Yu Ruo bent over with his back to me, "Hurry up and drive the hyenas away, it's very uncomfortable to sleep in the tree." After saying that, he twisted his ass and began to clean up the weeds on the ground.

"Zhao Fan, there are a lot of small insects here, and it's all sand......"

I looked at the blazing fire, picked out some burning charcoal with my hand axe, and walked in front of Yu Ruo.

"Then the weeds that were cleared out were smoked away, and they were burned in the cracks of the stones. "I looked at the gaps between the boulders, and they were all in and out of the boulders without having to look down.

Some of the tricky things are that the top is thin and the bottom is wide, and if you don't pay attention, you can kowtow to your head.

Yu Ruo did as I asked, and after a while, his forehead was covered with fine sweat, and his originally white and pure face was also covered with black ash.

She crouched on the ground and piled the weeds on the charcoal, and in a moment thick white smoke rose from it.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Yu Ruo coughed a few times, and the big white rabbit, which was quite large, dangled around.

"These insects have all run away!" Yu Ruo jumped up excitedly as he looked at the poisonous scorpions and small insects that came out of the cracks in the stones.

"Alright, come with me over there to cut down some trees and come back, let's try to make a frame today!" I piled some dead grass and fresh grass on the fire, and pointed to the small sapling that was more than a man tall next to me.

Yu Ruo jumped up and down behind me, carrying a sky-blue satchel and a face full of excitement.

"We're out on an adventure, not an outing, so why are we so happy?" I couldn't help but ask.

Yu Ruo showed her white teeth, "Who told you that you didn't bring me before, although the food was a little worse, but it was quite interesting to build the house you wanted by yourself." ”

Come on, this girl should be experiencing life.

I shook my head with a smile and bent down to start cutting down the small trees that grew at the foot of the mountain.

"I cut down the trees, and you help me peel off all the bark of these trees. "The axe is very sharp, a trunk the size of a wrist, and it breaks in a few strokes.

Yu Ruolisuo began to peel the skin, don't look at the thin arms and legs, and do the work, not sloppy at all.

I sharpened the stump so that I wouldn't scratch it next time or fall on it, and it would be troublesome.

After cutting down a tree, I spat on my hand so that it would not slip.

A few times back and forth, I cut down a dozen small trees, all of which were about the same thickness.

I looked at the sun, and it was almost going down.

"I'll be busy here today, and I'll pick up some rocks and dig a few holes for the beams when I get back. "I put the axe back in my belt and dusted it off.

Yu Ruo kept squatting to clean the bark, rubbed his shoulders and asked, "Pick up stones, do you want to lay stones on the ground?"

I shook my head and said, "No, it's to be used in the cave, the mud and sand behind the stones are more abundant, and it will be more firm to fix them with these broken stones." ”

"Oh, then let's go!" Yu Ruo walked in front with the peeled bark off.

I dragged seven or eight sleek tree trunks to follow, looked at the elated Yu Ruo, and said with a smile: "While it's not dark yet, put all the bark on the ground to dry for a while." ”

The purpose of drying the bark is to evaporate the liquid secreted by the bark so as not to attract insects.

Walking to the edge of the boulder, Yu Ruo leaned back and said worriedly: "Hyenas, lions, and poisonous scorpions, can they really be cleaned up in three days?"

I pulled out my shotgun, wiped it with a cloth, and grinned, "Do you know why I'm so confident?"

"Why?" Yu Ruo was quite cooperative, revealing a cute expression.

I blew on the dark muzzle of my shotgun and whispered, "Because I never say big things." ”

"Poof......" Yu Ruo covered his mouth and bent down.

"Driving away the hyenas in three days, isn't that a big deal?"

I didn't reply, I felt for the notebook in my fanny pack, carried the things I needed for the night, and climbed the bread tree next to the boulder.
