Chapter 5 The Swallow Holds the Mud

Half of the eldest child ate Lao Tzu to death, his body shrank to thirteen or fourteen years old, and his stomach seemed to have become a bottomless pit, Liu Xiu had to face such an embarrassing fact.

"Maybe the increase in my food volume is inseparable from the practice of nameless body cultivation skills to increase my strength, otherwise it is impossible for the amount of food to increase so much at once......"

I couldn't help but have such an association in my heart, Liu Xiu estimated that this was the truth, but the benefits of the nameless body cultivation exercise to himself were obvious, and he did not plan to stop practicing the body cultivation exercise in the future in order to save food for the time being.

At the moment, there is no need to worry about food in a short period of time, and Liu Xiu is no longer entangled in this problem.

The world is estimated to be in spring, and as the sun rises, the temperature will also rise, and Liu Xiu, who is only wearing a pair of pants, does not have to worry about maintaining her body temperature.

There are still many things to do, and Liu Xiu has no time to be a salted fish.

After filling her stomach, Liu Xiu first came to the lake with the charcoal left over from the bonfire, smeared the powder after the charcoal was smashed on her teeth, and rubbed her fingers into her mouth to clean her mouth.

In the wild, without toothpaste and toothbrush, charcoal is the best way to clean the oral teeth, a smell of carbon in the mouth, the effect is average, but at least it can barely keep the mouth clean.

After finishing it, Liu Xiu returned to the cave again, and cut some lemongrass grass with sharp stone chips along the way.

Citronella is used to smoke rabbit meat, a plant that can be found everywhere and is used to prevent rabbit meat from spoiling.

When a whole rabbit is smoked on the bonfire with a wooden stick, Liu Xiu will also bake the hearts and livers of rabbits and pheasants by the bonfire, which can prevent spoilage for a short time after baking, Liu Xiu decided to eat them in the afternoon, these things can supplement the trace components such as iron required by the human body.

The rabbit meat is smoked and hung in a cave with a few pieces of thatch to avoid insects such as ants, and the hearts and livers of hares and pheasants are wrapped in leaves.

Next, Liu Xiu will start to arrange the place where he lives.

When the sun was blazing, Liu Xiu left the cave and spent half an hour cutting a lot of weeds with sharp stone chips and spreading them on the ground to dry, half a day was enough to dry them, and they could sleep comfortably in the cave at night.

As long as you are willing to use your brains, it is not difficult to improve your quality of life with your hands, everything in heaven and earth is actually prepared for people to put it bluntly, but it depends on how you use it.

Next is the heavy physical work, Liu Xiu needs to collect stones around to seal two-thirds of the entrance to the cave.

He felt that it was completely necessary to close two-thirds of the hole, not only to effectively shelter himself from the wind and rain, but also to provide himself with a relatively independent private space, although there was no one else around, but the relatively closed space could bring him a sense of security.

Although the so-called sense of security is only a dispensable psychological effect, Liu Xiu does not decide to ignore it, and many times a little psychological comfort can often bring people great courage and confidence.

There are a lot of stones around the cave, it is not difficult to collect, it is nothing more than manual work, the only trouble is that the cave is about three meters above the ground, and it is not easy to move the stones up.

In desperation, Liu Xiu could only use stones to build two simple steps, one was almost 1.5 meters and 180 centimeters, and the two steps were next to each other, so that he could smoothly move the stones up.

However, it took Liu Xiu almost three hours to build these two steps, and all the stones he could move within 100 meters around him were moved, and the stones needed to block the entrance of the cave were far more than several times the steps, and they also needed to be relatively flat stones, so that it was convenient to build.

There is no doubt that blocking the entrance to the cave is a big project for Liu Xiu, but fortunately, he has expected this for a long time and plans to complete it in three days.

It took several hours to take the steps, and when the time came to the afternoon, Liu Xiu was hungry and tired again.

In desperation, he had to stop working and eat, and rest to recover his strength by the way.

The roasted pheasant and hare in the morning entered his stomach, and before he could eat enough, he ate another rabbit leg to barely fill his stomach.

After a short rest, Liu Xiu continued to collect stones and transport them back to the cave with both hands, the scope became wider and wider, the physical strength consumed was increasing, and the time spent was increasing......

There is no time for him to be sad, he comes into this world alone, with nothing, he has to find something to do for himself so as not to think cranky.

People can't be idle, and if they are idle, they are prone to cranky thoughts, and then fall into a circle of thinking, and they may even drive themselves crazy.

Using his hands to create his own living environment little by little, although tired, Liu Xiu enjoys it, he feels that he is very fulfilled, and every time he improves his residence, he will have a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

In fact, those who are familiar with Liu Xiu know that he is a little obsessive-compulsive, once he makes a decision, he must find a way to achieve his goal, no matter how many times he fails, no matter how many detours he takes, he will not give up, which is why he was able to create a fortune from scratch.

The day was busy, and until the sun was about to set, Liu Xiu had collected only one-third of the expected total number of stones, and as the stones around him were collected, he had to go further afield.

It is conceivable that it will be more and more difficult for him to achieve his goal of sealing two-thirds of the hole, I am afraid that the estimated three days is not enough, but fortunately, the most important thing he lacks now is time, it is a big deal to extend it, or speed it up, it's just a big deal to be tired.

As the sun set, Liu Xiu stopped collecting stones, moved the dried weeds back to the cave, and put a bed for himself at the bottom of the cave, not far from the campfire, so that he could sleep well tonight.

When night fell, although he was tired for a day, Liu Xiu did not rest, he was hungry again, and he ate a few catties of rabbit meat to fill his stomach.

"The remaining rabbit meat is only enough for tomorrow"

Looking at the hanging rabbit, Liu Xiu muttered in his heart, fortunately, there were still fish after the rabbit was eaten, and he didn't have to worry about food for a short time.

Although Liu Xiu did not rest after eating, the stones he brought back during the day were just piled up in the cave in a mess, and at this time he needed to start building them up piece by piece and slowly closing the entrance of the cave.

Although he didn't have to run around, it took him about three hours just to finish the stones he had collected during the day.

Liu Xiu once did a construction site when he first came out of school, and he knew how to build the stones he collected to be strong, although there was no concrete reinforcement, but this was not a high-rise building, just about one meter and a half high, and it was not too difficult.

Thus he finished the day's work by using up the stones he had collected during the day.

Although he was tired, he was very fulfilling, and everything he did was meaningful, at least he was satisfied, didn't he?

Re-added firewood to the bonfire, the fire was strong, and Liu Xiu also lay on the haystack and closed his eyes and fell asleep.

This sleep is the most comfortable sleep Liu Xiu has ever slept in this world, without fear and with a warm bonfire.

What made Liu Xiudan hurt was that he slept comfortably, but the bag of more than ten mosquito bites on his body the next day made him quite entangled, there were no mosquitoes on the camphor tree on the first night, and he didn't have time to care so much on the second night, this time he experienced how annoying mosquitoes are.

"I remember there was a lot of wormwood around, so if you put some on the campfire tonight, there should be no mosquitoes......"

Pouting, Liu Xiu got up, and a new day began again.

Although she slept comfortably, Liu Xiu's labor yesterday was too great, and she was inevitably sore, but after a body cultivation exercise, the physical discomfort disappeared completely, and she didn't even have the bag that was bitten by mosquitoes on her body, so she took the body cultivation exercise again to taste the refreshing feeling from the inside out.

At the beginning of the red sun, Liu Xiu practiced his self-cultivation skills on the grass with a degree of relaxation, and the mist between his breaths was like the food of an immortal, and what he didn't know was that with his breathing, there were wisps of purple qi across the endless space in the red sun on the horizon, and it entered from his mouth and nose and merged into the limbs......

"It seems that my strength has increased again, surpassing my peak before I came to this world, although I don't know how much, but it's always a good thing, now I'm only thirteen or fourteen years old, I really don't know how much change I will have in the future......

After the second time of self-cultivation, Liu Xiu exhaled a long breath, feeling the changes in himself and muttered.

Next, he ate and went to the lake to clean his mouth with charcoal, and after finishing Liu Xiu went to look at a few condoms, but to his disappointment, there were no stupid pheasants and hares that got in, so he had no choice but to move the condoms to the location, hoping that the next time it would get better.

Then, continue to collect stones against the sun.

Swallow Street mud nesting, bit by bit is valuable in perseverance, anything is afraid of giving up halfway, as long as perseverance, difficulties can always be overcome.

Counting the first day, it took Liu Xiu four days to collect stones to seal two-thirds of the cave entrance to achieve his goal, which was one day longer than expected.

There was no way, all the stones around the cave had been moved, and he had to go farther away.

In four days, the rabbit meat had already been eaten, and Liu Xiu began to eat fish from the next night, and more than 100 fish in the circle surrounded by stones by the lake were enough for him to eat for a while.

Persevering in practicing both sides of the body cultivation every day, Liu Xiu can clearly feel the changes in himself, and his strength has increased a lot, he doesn't know how much, but he only feels a little struggling to walk with a stone the size of a grinding plate!

For four days, although Liu Xiu sealed the entrance of the cave with stones, the work was not finished, because the stones had gaps that could not completely shelter the wind, and he still needed to paste these gaps with thin mud to make the temporary dwelling of the cave to a barely satisfactory level.

Strength grows, shelter is perfect, and life is moving towards a better side.

However, Liu Xiu couldn't be happy, he was now facing a very serious problem!

"My strength has grown considerably, but I gradually have a feeling that I can't use my strength, I don't lack food, but I have salt......"

Liu Xiu clearly understands what the dilemma he is facing now......
