Chapter 27: Settlement
Because the frog must be near the pond, Wang Xingjiang decided to take the battlefield as a starting point and walk along the spiral, so that he could find the trace of the pond as soon as possible.
However, Wang Xingjiang forgot that he was also a half-road idiot, and there were many trees near the battlefield, so his spiral went crookedly.
Fortunately, the frog did not go far, Wang Xingjiang quickly found the target, and the two ponds were found together.
Both ponds are unexpectedly large, with the larger one about 10 meters in diameter and the smaller one about 8 meters in diameter. On the edge of the pond are sparsely planted aquatic plants, reflecting in the clear water.
There is about two meters of open space between the ponds, forming a channel with the pond boundary, and Wang Xingjiang feels that this area has a lot to do and should be put to good use.
There are many pine trees and shrubs around, and the wood resources are abundant, which is enough to build a house and make a fire.
The only problem is that there is not enough food, and the only food available here is frogs. However, Wang Xingjiang still has a lot of bacon left, which is enough to support them until they find other food sources.
Then there is no other problem, Wang Xingjiang said to the little ones: "Let's live here today!" ”
The little tall bird didn't understand at all, and the little fire dragon didn't seem to understand, but Wang Xingjiang didn't care, he had to hurry up and work now.
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and there was only two hours to prepare.
In short, we must first roughly get a place to sleep, these eleven days are basically sitting directly asleep, Wang Xingjiang slept with a headache and a waist pain, and he missed the feeling of lying down very much.
Because of lack of time, Wang Xingjiang couldn't build a house, so he chose a very simple method.
The first step is to find a tree. Wang Xingjiang set his eyes on a pine tree sandwiched between two ponds, the position and height were suitable, and he decided that it was you.
The second step is to start cutting down trees. Checking the location of the pond, Wang Xingjiang repeatedly swung his sword and cut it down about a quarter of the way through the tree.
In order to be able to practice miscellaneous swordsmanship at the same time, each of Wang Xingjiang's swords has variations, with different angles and strengths. Because of his conscious attempt, he soon found the most suitable way to cut the tree, and the speed of cutting was greatly increased.
By the time the pine trees began to crumble, Wang Xingjiang had already cut two gaps. The basic level has been completed, and the gap stops close to the bark. The other gap is tilting upwards and is gradually widening with Wang Xingjiang's movements, and it will soon intersect with the first gap.
The last sword slashed out, and the wood between the two gaps fell to the ground as the sword was retracted. Without the middle piece of wood, the part that was still attached could not support the weight of the tree, and with the sound of the wood being twisted, the pine tree began to fall to the ground.
The little ones who were circling around the pond were attracted by the strange sound and wanted to come forward to check on the situation. But they were immediately stopped by Wang Xingjiang, who turned and ran away to avoid the branches, and had to reluctantly return to the edge of the pond.
By the time the pine tree has completely fallen, a triangle has roughly taken shape.
Whew, Wang Xingjiang took a breath, fortunately he was lucky, he didn't completely break in the process of falling, otherwise he would have to cut down another tree.
The direction in which the pine trees are falling is also in line with Wang Xingjiang's expectations, and the tips of the trees are aimed at the large pond, so that the settlement can be less guarded in one direction.
That's right, this triangular space is the place where Wang Xingjiang is going to live, but it is still one step away from completion.
The final step is simply to cut down the branches, cutting off the branches on the side facing the pond that are close to the ground, leaving a small number of branches to use as a roof. If you cut off some of the branches facing the ground, there will be space that can accommodate one person.
The tree is about six meters tall, and this triangular space is enough for Wang Xingjiang to sit in it, and he feels very satisfied.
Sure enough, it's still useful to watch more science and education channels!
Holding the thickest branches at the broken points not only serves as a reinforcement, but also relies on these places to place small branches to block this side. In this way, the wind is blocked on three sides, and it is very comfortable to live in winter.
Scatter the thinnest part of the branch on the ground, stuff hay between the gaps, and spread two hunting dog skins, this is Wang Xingjiang's future bed. Although it was extremely simple, he was already very satisfied, and it was better to get a good night's sleep than anything else.
However, the whole process took too long, and the sun began to sink when it was completely completed.
Piling the remaining thick branches next to the bed, and as the fire rose as the setting sun rose, Wang Xingjiang began to prepare to cook the frogs.
As a person who has been pitted by garlic cloves and garlic clove meat, Wang Xingjiang has still eaten bullfrogs, but he has no idea where this frog can eat.
Frogs are different from rabbits and tall birds, rabbits are still mammals, and their basic structure is similar to that of pigs, cattle and sheep, and Wang Xingjiang still knows where pigs can eat.
Stilt birds are birds, and Wang Xingjiang also knows where chickens and ducks should eat.
But the frog is different, this thing is not served with any meat, he only knows that the frog leg must be eaten.
Another reason is that the game setting is not the same, the rabbit drops small meat, the tall bird drops big meat, and these meat kings Xingjiang have eaten without any problems; The monster meat dropped by the hound, Wang Xingjiang also proved that it was inedible.
However, the frog fell on the frog legs, combined with the actual experience, Wang Xingjiang can also be sure that the frog legs are fine, but what about other meat?
Forget it, there was Shennong who tasted a hundred herbs before, and now there is my Wang Xingjiang who is hungry and eats a hundred things, so let's eat a bite and try it.
The first is peeling, but Wang Xingjiang encountered a new challenge at this first step.
This frog skin is pitted and has the texture of tree bark, and it feels quite easy to peel. In fact, there is no fat between the skin and flesh, and the connection between the frog skin and the frog meat is unusually tight.
Fortunately, the frog skin was easy to cut, and Wang Xingjiang didn't have the idea of preserving the skin, so he directly cut off the whole belt meat.
Next, cut off the fins and head, then cut the legs and the rest of the frog and divide them into two parts to roast.
The different smell of meat attracted the little fire dragon rolling and playing on the bed, and it immediately came to Wang Xingjiang's side when it always wanted to try something new.
Looking at the little fire dragon with an expectant expression, Wang Xingjiang handed the frog leg to it with apprehension.
After all, Wang Xingjiang is not sure if he can eat this frog leg, and it will not be good if the little fire dragon eats it badly.
Fortunately, the little fire dragon ate very happily, and Wang Xingjiang was relieved to see its happy expression, and he would definitely not smile if he ate something problematic in the famine.
However, Wang Xingjiang was not sure if he would cry after eating this other part of the frog meat.
Closing his eyes, Wang Xingjiang took a bite of frog meat, and there was no strange taste! After chewing it, the meat is tender, delicious, and delicious!
After eating the frog meat, Wang Xingjiang remembered his desire to eat vegetables. But since I'm already full at this time, let's eat the carrots tomorrow.
In this way, it is not possible to eat animals that have dropped monster meat? Wang Xingjiang felt that he had discovered Huadian again, and now there was really no shortage of meat.
After thinking about it carefully, there seem to be only a few creatures that don't lose meat and monster meat in the non-beach version of Don't Starve.
Insect butterflies, mosquitoes, and bees, aquatic frogs and fish-people, leaf-eating man-eating flowers that shed their mesophyll, and the rest are ghosts, shadow monsters, and clockwork creatures that are inedible at first sight.
felt that there were few things that could be eaten, so Wang Xingjiang dispelled this idea and it was reliable to grow berries.
He'll have to think about farming in the future, but he doesn't know how to get the seeds here.
After eating and drinking, Wang Xingjiang began his long-lost sword swinging practice, and this time he obviously felt the rise of his physical strength.
When he first started practicing, it was like killing him with fifty strokes, but now he can swing fifty strokes at will without panting! That's a huge step forward.
Seeing the results, Wang Xingjiang became more energetic, and set a small goal first, he had to practice to the point where he could kill the hound with a sword!
When the little fire dragon saw Wang Xingjiang's practice, he also began to train his claws, and it also had its own lofty ideals, it wanted to split a chariot with one claw!
Only the little tall bird sleeps peacefully in bed, it has no goal, just live happily.
One person and one dragon practice with the firelight, and make unremitting efforts for their "great" ambitions.
