"Hah~"

In the morning, Zhang Hailing got up from the haystack lazily, sat there yawning, and was in a daze.

Zhang Xiangyang was learning to weave a straw cage, and when he heard the movement, he looked over.

Lingling's confused and cute appearance made Zhang Xiangyang feel very bad.

Maybe it's a lack of adequate nutrition, or maybe it's a weak body, and when I wake up in the morning, I'm not so energetic, and I'm always a little dazed.

"Lingling, if you are sleepy, sleep a little longer, it's still raining outside, I'll call you when it's time to eat."

Lingling quickly woke up when he heard Zhang Xiangyang's voice, quickly stood up from the grass, and said happily: "Brother Xiangyang, good morning~"

Seeing this, Zhang Xiangyang said helplessly: "It's okay if you can't sleep, but there is nothing to do today, and I don't know when the rain outside will stop." ”

Zhang Hailing jumped down from the haystack, and said quickly when he bent down to put on his shoes: "Since everyone is not going out today, let's make something to pass the time, Zhang Han, hurry up and make a pair of bridge, the four of us play bridge, and I will be with Brother Xiangyang!" ”

Zhang Han was looking at the raindrops outside the door and the old turtle in the pit, and after being called by the little girl in the house, he yelled unhappily: "Do it yourself!" How good it is for you to play backgammon with your brother Xiangyang, and our surname Zhang will not participate! ”

"Humph! What a wayward guy! Zhang Lingling disdainfully Zhang Han, and then quickly smiled and said to Zhang Xiangyang cordially: "Brother Xiangyang, let's play Go, I'll make a chessboard." ”

Zhang Xiangyang didn't know how to play Go, but he felt very interesting, so he nodded and said: "Let's talk about it in the afternoon, I'll make up this cage now, if the rain stops in the afternoon, I can go out to catch fish, if it doesn't stop, will I play chess with you then?" ”

"Hmm!" Lingling agreed, squatted down and said, "I'm here to help, too!" ”

"Good!" Zhang Xiangyang's hands are not very skillful, in contrast, Lingling's skillful hands are more suitable for this kind of weaving work.

The rest of the people also woke up, except for An Ran, who was lying on the bed because of the injury to his footsteps, and the rest of the people started what they could do in this small house.

Wan Jing was cooking, Lu Shiqin and Wu Sang used grass and wood ash to block some gaps in the house, this temporary mud house was not perfect, but in the end it was some minor problems.

Zhang Bin is trying to make a flute, using a flaming branch to make a hole in a thin bamboo pipe.

There's not much that can be done on a rainy day like this.

At present, the food is still sufficient, and the fish and meat are enough for everyone to eat for another four or five days.

A jackal weighing more than 30 catties can eat for two days, and a fish weighing more than 10 catties can eat for more than a day, and each person can eat enough for every meal.

Zhang Xiangyang roughly calculated that if he wanted to survive a winter, he would probably need more than 600 catties of food.

I think so, but just eating meat is definitely not enough, Zhang Xiangyang feels that the rest of the people's bodies can't bear this monotonous diet.

However, it is not monotonous, fish, wolf, jackal, bird, and I can eat different flavors of meat in a few days.

Zhang Xiangyang still plans to find some vegetables, in addition to collecting materials for making clothes and buildings in the past few days, Zhang Xiangyang plans to carefully look for some plants that can be used as staple food, and then bring them back for An Ran to see if he can eat them.

If you want to do more, you need more people.

In the case of labor shortage, Zhang Xiangyang can only choose to use traps to obtain food.

It's certainly not very efficient, and it's uncertain when you'll be able to catch your prey, but you can still free up some time to do more.

"There is still a shortage of materials, if there is more bamboo, you can make bamboo baskets."

Wu Sang heard Zhang Xiangyang's emotion, and said in a deep voice: "It's okay now, don't take risks, now you don't even have a few weapons at hand, if you go to the bamboo forest again, the gains outweigh the losses." ”

Of course, Zhang Xiangyang understands this truth, "I know, I won't go to the bamboo forest for the time being, the most important thing at the moment is the issue of clothes and food, and I don't know when the rain will stop." ”

Wu Sang walked to the door and looked at the sky outside, "It is estimated that there is little hope of stopping today, after this heavy rain stops, the temperature should be significantly reduced, and the frequency of animal activities will also increase significantly, whether it is prey or hunters, they need to replenish enough energy before the cold winter comes." ”

Autumn is the time when fish are fat, not only the fish in the water, but also many animals will look fat in the fall.

But at this time, it also means that all the animals are starting to prepare for winter, the birds will no longer lay eggs, and there will be basically no cubs born in the animals, and once the temperature drops to a certain level, it will be difficult to find a prey outside.

The impact of falling temperatures is very bad and will be tested on all sides.

Zhang Xiangyang looked outside, "Then in the past few days, we must hurry up and cut down trees and prepare more charcoal for winter." ”

Zhang Bin said: "Shall we make another house?" Stockpiling supplies and taking a bath and going to the toilet is definitely not enough for this house alone. ”

"What a lot of time! You go to find the materials, and you can build a house by yourself, huh? Zhang Han shouted impatiently, not angry with his younger brother, but feeling sad.

Wu Sang also said: "For the time being, I will find a way to let everyone take a bath in a few days, and there is no problem with the toilet now, at present, we don't have so many people to build a new house, and we have more important things to do now." ”

Zhang Bin wanted to say something, but finally hesitated, but nodded and said, "I understand." ”

The rest of the people didn't pay attention to Zhang Bin, this person is such a character.

Zhang Xiangyang and Zhang Bin have a good relationship, knowing that Zhang Bin is the kind of person who rarely takes the initiative to put forward his opinions unless it is necessary, especially the kind of proposal that requires others to pay.

When it comes to building a house, Zhang Bin must know the amount of work, and even knows the specific difficulty than Zhang Han, but he still put forward a proposal to build a new house at this time.

What difficulties everyone has at the moment, Zhang Bin knows.

An Ran was injured, it was raining heavily, the living conditions were worse than expected, there was a shortage of food and clothing, and there was a severe shortage of labor.

Zhang Xiangyang looked at Zhang Bin, "Zhang Bin, why do you want to build a house at this time?" Say whatever comes to mind, none of us will talk about you, you must have thought of something that we can't think of, can you say it for our reference? ”

After Zhang Han heard this, he didn't look at the old turtle in the pit anymore, and turned to look at the house, "Zhang Bin, it's all this time, and you're still shy because you sleep with a woman?" ”

In Zhang Han's opinion, Zhang Bin is used to sleeping with the rest of the people, and it feels awkward.

Lingling thought not so simply, and quickly said to Zhang Bin: "Brother Zhang Bin, just say what you think, everyone won't talk about you, and even if it's said, it doesn't matter, everyone here is just good at some aspects, even if Lingling grows up in the future, it won't be omnipotent, and you still need to listen to everyone's opinions~"

Zhang Bin showed a wry smile, and after hesitating for a moment, he smiled self-deprecatingly, "Actually, it's not an opinion, I had a nightmare last night, I dreamed that when I got up in the middle of the night and passed by the window, I saw a huge eye, and then a huge palm curiously grabbed our house, grabbed me from the house and threw me into my mouth...... It was the ape that was watching us in the cave, and I didn't dare look out the window when I woke up. ”

Zhang Bin's words silenced everyone.

Except for Lu Shiqin and Wan Jing, the rest of them have seen the original scene.

Zhang Bin's words clearly showed the scene when he was watched by the ape monster with one eye in the cave, which was extremely real!

After a few seconds of silence, Zhang Xiangyang stood up suddenly.

"Dig a hole in the ground! Just under our beds, dig a hole to hide! Although I may be timid and whimsical, I still wish I could sleep more soundly and have a place to hide even if I am found during the day! ”

Zhang Han whispered, "There's no need...... Zhang Bin he just has a nightmare, there is no need to take it seriously, we still have a lot of things to do now, this underground is not completely mud, there are many stones, it is not easy to dig. ”

Zhang Xiangyang was very resolute this time, and looked at everyone's faces.

"I'm in favor of making a hole to hide, raise your hand in agreement, and if someone disagrees, then the person who agrees will be responsible for digging the hole! Of course, I won't be in charge of this, I'll still prioritize food and clothing. ”

Ling Ling raised his hand, "Brother Xiangyang, I support you, I'll dig it!" ”

Lu Shiqin raised her hand without thinking about it, "I'll dig too!" After I'm done with something else, I'll dig and I won't delay everyone's work! ”

She had never seen the horror of the ape, but she believed in Zhang Xiangyang's decision and was willing to follow Zhang Xiangyang.

Wan Jing thought about this matter, she was indeed very afraid of apes, but she also knew that it was not suitable to do that kind of whimsical thing at the moment, the project of digging a hole in the ground was not small, and the manpower needed was one thing, and delaying the overall process was another.

An Ran raised his hand, "I agree, but I can't do anything now, what about you, Wu Sang?" ”

"I'm for it." Wu Sang had already made a decision, and when he was asked by An Ran, he chose to agree with a free face.

At this time, Wan Jing raised her hand, "I also agree." ”

When Wan Jing also agreed, the rest were the Zhang brothers.

Zhang Han raised his hand helplessly, "Okay, okay, I agree, isn't it just to do more work?" Difficulties are always difficulties, and we just need to find a way to solve them. ”

Zhang Bin, who was the first to make this proposal, was a little unconfident at this time, "I...... I ......"

"What are you! Just raise your hand in favor and you're good to go! Zhang Han shouted impatiently.

Zhang Bin quickly raised his hand, "I also agree!" ”

Zhang Xiangyang nodded, "Then let's start designing the hole now, leave this to Zhang Han, Zhang Bin, you are responsible for thinking about how to reduce the amount of work, if there is anything we need our help with, just bring it up." ”

"Good!" Both agreed.

Now that you have a new goal, you have to go all out!

Only Zhang Bin and Wu Sang have seen the whole picture of the ape monster that is more than ten meters high, but that terrifying eye is a nightmare for Zhang Xiangyang and the others.

Zhang Xiangyang looked at the window of the mud house, where there was light entering, but there were no apes.

Zhang Xiangyang looked out of the door again, when will they really be able to sleep peacefully?
