After the rain had cleared the day, and after replenishing the food and fresh water of the chickens and sheep, I set sail again.

The difference is that this time, except for three or four days' worth of food and a small number of weapons, the ship is basically empty, and it is understandable that it is so empty before the relocation is confirmed, but it is not very cost-effective to be so empty now!

In line with the principle of not wasting it, I moved 50 bricks to the ship with the extra buoyancy, and now the idea is to be able to transport some of them to reduce the workload when moving in the future.

What is surprising is that after adding enough weight to the boat, not only did there be no problems, but the boat would be more stable, which gave me an inspiration that I could bring some supplies with me every time I went back and forth in the future.

Now there are extra bricks and tiles, it is very necessary to bring some of the past, after all, it will be made on a large scale when building a house in the future, and the production cycle of bricks and tiles is too long, so I can reduce the number of them to reduce the burden for myself!

According to my estimate, the buoyancy of the boat can basically reach the level of 500 catties, and there will be a certain risk if it is used to transport bricks, it can only be transported to about 70 pieces at a time, because my weight and belongings will also take up about 150 catties.

If it is used exclusively to transport bricks, it is not cost-effective, and it can only be transported twice a day, and two trips down to a maximum of 150 pieces, which is not only much lower than the production speed, but also has a certain risk at sea itself.

After returning to Crocodile Island, he continued to work as a lumberjack, clearing all the hundreds of square meters around the house to be built, leaving only two large trees with a diameter of more than 30 centimeters.

The two trees were left behind because it was quite difficult to cut them down and then divide them into sections, and it was almost summer, so it was a good choice to keep them for the shade.

Imagine the difference between doing things in the open air and doing things in the shade of a big tree in the thirties of heat, even if it's only part of the time!

The logging work lasted intermittently for nearly five days, plus two days back and forth, and the results of a week were very fruitful, and the area of the open space expanded to about 300 square meters, and all kinds of wood and branches were piled up on the ground.

Finally, I can see the long-lost sunlight in the open space, and at the same time, there is basically a certain safe distance, and I can quickly detect any wind and grass within a radius of dozens of meters.

The good news doesn't stop there, I took advantage of the rest time to find the ripe thistle, and after a few days late, a third of the seeds had already fallen to the ground, and if I went a few days late, there would be nothing.

Fortunately, there was no rain in the past two days, and most of the seeds that fell were collected in my pocket, so after drying them, there was no problem with planting next season, which also made me feel relieved.

If I had harvested the seeds after a rain, there would have been nothing left, and the joy I had when I first found it would have been in vain!

......

In the following week, except for two days back to the island to feed the chickens and sheep and check the crops, I spent most of my time as a lumberjack on Crocodile Island, successfully breaking the 500-square-meter mark on the vacant land.

The experience of running at both ends is quite troublesome, in addition to the strong wind and waves can not go overseas, the normal weather is basically on time to travel, over time will also feel irritable, after all, people are animals with thoughts and emotions, not machines!

A similar situation is like going to school when I was a child, when the countryside was full of dirt roads, muddy and slippery when it rained, and the little man carried a big umbrella rain or shine.

Even if there are 10,000 reluctances in my heart, there is no reason not to go, but the school did not have a holiday at the beginning, and now it is the pressure of survival!

However, it is not known how long it will take to solve this problem, and at present, Crocodile Island has temporarily solved the problem of drinking water, but the chicken and sheep pens and houses have not yet been built.

What's more, the main food of chickens and sheep --- vegetables are all still on the island, and it is unlikely that they will be relocated in a short period of time, which also leads to the inevitable thing of going back and forth in the next few months!

The good thing is that nearly 400 bricks were delivered during this time, and if this amount is maintained, the first room can be built directly from ready-made bricks and tiles in three or five months.

In addition, although the small well 200 meters away has solved my recent drinking water problem, it is still difficult to feed back to the island, so I still have to rely on filtered water to maintain my personal water supply while living on the island.

This makes me feel that there is no need, and the water source five or six hundred meters away should also be treated in time, and the later construction work will be slowly rolled out, and the water consumption will be followed by a sharp increase, which is far from being supplied by the current small wells!

So after the area of the vacant land had some results for the time being, I decided to clear the road to the well in the distance and expand the well.

......

The road to the small well is relatively flat, and there are detours when there are large trees, so you can only choose the best route to get to the well in the distance to shorten the distance.

As a result, you will encounter more trees and complex terrain, which may take far longer than the time to go to a small well!

The road is also of a higher level, and I use a long knife and axe to cut down the trees and weeds and vines that stand in the way, and then use a hoe to remove a layer of grass roots from the ground, so that most of the weeds will die completely.

The uneven places have to be leveled, and there are even digging and filling pits and digging stones, etc., and you can't go far in a day.

It does take more time, and although the width of the road is the same as the other road, there is a huge difference in the flatness, which is very pleasing to the eye at first glance......

Of course, the cost was not small, and it took four days to repair the road to the location of the well in the distance.

Is it over? No! Until now, wells did not exist......

The chopstick-thick spring water flows down the hillside after flowing down the mountain wall through the cracks in the mountain wall, and it looks very distressing for me, who has been short of water for a long time, as if the money in my wallet is decreasing!

Therefore, if you don't do it, drilling wells in the next few days will be the main task.

The way the well was drilled and the shape of the well were similar to the previous wells, all of which were constantly being drilled into the stone wall, except that the small well was only a semi-finished product, and here at least the capacity should be expanded to my satisfaction, even if only temporarily.

I did the work I was very reluctant to do, and I continued to do it, and every day I had to fly at least a few pebbles in my eyes, and a lot in my ears and mouth.

If it weren't for the fact that the capacity of the well is getting bigger and bigger, and it is getting closer and closer to success, I really want to pick a pick!

The rock here is very hard, harder than the original material of the well and the small well, and the chisel was successfully sharpened from 25 centimeters to 20 centimeters in three days, and it is estimated that it will be worn out after a few days of drilling, and even now it is too short to be useful.

The capacity of the well is barely satisfactory to me, and it should be fine to hold twenty buckets of water, so I am not going to expand any more.

......

Unlike the mountains on this island, the mountains here may not be made entirely of stones, but I have observed that the spring water here lasts for a longer period of time, and the flow of water does not decrease if it does not rain for a week!

I don't think I would have to think about boiling seawater to collect steam for at least 20 days of drought when I moved here, because this well is very vibrant......

The well was filled with water as I dug it on my side, and at the end of the three days, even if I scooped water out from time to time, there was knee-deep water, which directly showed the abundance of water.

After two more days of injection and sedimentation wells, the well was filled with fresh water and overflowing, and it was finally possible to have a normal well again!

The commissioning of the well was a great event for me, and it also marked the completion of all the water needs for the construction of this island.

And that's just one aspect, this situation will change completely from now on, as it has been full of ships coming and going back empty, still drinking filtered water.

In the future, you can directly use a few 20-pound bottles to transport water back, saving the cumbersome process of filtering water and saving a lot of time!

......

The problem with the well was no longer a problem, and I had time for other work, and instead of rushing to cut wood, I planned to clear and trim the road from the vacant land where the house was built to the beach.

The road to the well was treated so that it was very comfortable to walk in, and I realized that the road from the beach to the open space was not a road at all, and it was not conducive to regular walking.

This distance will also be treated in the same way as the road to the well, after all, this road will be the most frequently traveled road in the next year or two, and if it is handled well, it will not only make people less effortless, but also safer!

Danger is always everywhere, and as soon as I cleared the truth about fifty meters, a poisonous snake jumped out of the grass and scared me, and the most important thing is that it was not scared away at all, but confronted me.

To be honest, this is the first time I have confronted a snake since I was a child, and the temperature at the end of June itself makes people sweat profusely, and its stimulation makes me sweat even more.

It's been a long time since I've experienced such an exciting scene, and if this battle is not good, I may explain it here!

Most of the poisonous snakes that were solved in the past were some poisonous snakes with a lazy temperament, and they didn't even bother to move when they walked in front of it, and the toxicity was quite average, and if they were bitten in their limbs, they could still be rescued!

This snake is different, it is black all over, it is a famous snake--- black tiger snake!

Although it does not stand up half like a cobra and spray venom at people, it is also terrifying for this black snake to spit letters in front of me......

The hoe in his hand was useless, the speed of the dance could hardly keep up with the speed of its movement, the bow and arrow were not carried, the knife and spear were still two meters away, and the source of tension was that the weapon in the hand was not suitable.

It was two to three meters away from me, and during the confrontation I kept thinking about whether my speed was superior, and finally I felt that I should be faster!

Without hesitation, the moment I threw the hoe at it, I turned back and grabbed the spear in my hand and turned it, compared to the knife, it was still an inch long and an inch stronger.
