Chapter 8: The deeper the good things are buried, the better

After two days of fishing, our food reserves were a little richer. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It can be said that in the past two days, Akai and I have been fishing with nothing to do, and I also specially built a fishing platform and chose a good location.

The Diaoyu Tai is located at the widest part of the river, and it is also the place where the river is relatively gentle.

I haven't caught a squid anymore these days, but the little fish in the river are really small fish, and I'm not wrong at all. If it's too small, I'll just release it, and I'll keep the older ones.

To prevent the fish from dying, I dug a two-meter-wide pit in front of my house, filled it with river water, and put all the fish in it.

Although we can't name the species and names of the fish, we can tell with the naked eye which one is better or can be done.

So now...

The time is the morning of the fourth day of the second week.

Akai and I made our way to the canyon after a long walk.

There are a lot of treasures in the canyon.

Rich in minerals, open rock and gravel, and because of the frightening depth of this large canyon, it essentially abandons the time we had to dig a passage to go underground.

By the way, we used to connect from the mine to the canyon about halfway through the canyon, which is the waist position.

That is, it is not difficult to speculate that the depth of this canyon has exceeded three hundred meters.

Except that the sun reaches 10 noon on the day and the sun shines directly into the canyon, otherwise the bottom of the canyon is pitch black.

For today's trip to explore the canyon, Akai and I have prepared a lot of things.

In addition to the need to free up half of the compartment in the backpack to hold things like iron ore and stone, the remaining half of the necessities can be brought with me.

Plenty of boiling water, two sets of torches per person, and in addition to tools such as pickaxes and shovels, Akai carried a bow and arrows and a common iron sword in his backpack for self-defense.

I brought all the greatsword and shield with me, and most of the food from home.

It is expected that by the time I return to the end of this expedition, the crops in my family's wheat field will almost be ready to grow.

Bone meal is a natural fertilizer.

As long as the wheat is all grown, we can not worry about food for a while, I mean saving a little food.

There is no poisonous food in this world, even the leaves can be picked to make a clear soup or something, on the contrary, because the clear soup made by pure natural plants is unexpectedly good.

Ahem, it seems that the topic is far away.

So, as for how to get down to the bottom of the canyon, Akai and I worked together to come up with a solution.

That is to make a straight path down vertically.

In layman's terms, it is to dig vertically.

Digging vertically, this is a very dangerous move, good children should not try it~

Because you never know what's going to be under your feet.

A teenager with a slightly better luck value may dig under his feet, but there is a hole below and he falls down, and he is not dead or disabled.

Like that kind of lucky e, the boy is because there is a big pit under his feet after digging it underneath, and he falls down and is not dead or disabled, and then he is pulled into the corner by a group of zombie skeletons or creepers and other monsters that come out of nowhere.

Of course, in the end, the kind of teenager who is obviously digging under his feet in the deep ground is pure death!

Person! Killed! will die!

Therefore, if you don't die, you won't die!

There was a pool of flowing magma under his feet, and then when the young man excitedly dug up the rocks under his feet, he said goodbye in the next second.

There are no even human remains.

Well, for the above reasons, we specially chose a position of almost 90 degrees, so that we can look at the bottom of the canyon without hindrance.

Dig back in that position and dig down vertically, so that the safety can be greatly improved.

As for how to get up?

The logging trip of the previous days was not in vain.

After dividing the wood into many sticks, the ladder assembled from these sticks allows us to climb anywhere.

As for how these wooden ladders are fixed to the wall?

I can only say that the laws of this world are located.

The ladder attached to the rock wall can be taken down, but it can be pried down with some tools, and you can't get it down with your bare hands, which I had already experimented with before I set out.

Of course, because it's made of wood, it burns.

Don't worry about whether it is firm or not, although there is a problem of bulkiness and burning, but the quality of the ladder is still very good.

"Yo Xi, dig down then!" With a piece of mutton in our mouths, Akai and I got to work near noon.

After all, the distance to the canyon was quite long, so when we arrived, we rested in place and surveyed the terrain.

――――The tile is the dividing line that is excavated――――

"Hey, Axia, you're lucky, dig down vertically and dig out the iron." Unexpectedly, Akai said that his character is quite good today.

"Well, it's normal, the mine roads and mineral deposits in the canyon terrain are relatively rich, and it is estimated that there are many open-pit mines at the bottom of the canyon."

Akai dug up all the iron ore that he had accidentally dug up: "That's great, what I hate to do now is dig for stones!" ”

Since I have built my home, I usually ask Akai to dig up basic building materials such as stone when I have nothing to do, and I will help if I have free time.

In short, Akai wants to vomit when he sees the stone now...

Anyway, we kept digging down.

Every time I dug down a floor, I fixed the ladder to the rock wall, and when the ladder in my hand was gone, we could go up.

Of course, on the way here, I prepared two sets of ladders, and I initially judged that I could dig down 100 meters.

Since it costs a lot of wood to make ladders, it is impossible for me to make all the wood into ladders, so I made two sets, leaving a small half of the wood reserves at home.

A lot of the time, it's good to leave a little bit of something, and it's likely that it can be saved when needed.
