Chapter Twenty-Seven: Digging a Pit
After planting the dwarf bushes transplanted from outside, Ling Hong also roughly counted the number of dwarf bushes now, the original ones were about seven or eight bushes, because they grew a little densely, Ling Hong was also a little unclear, plus the four bushes transplanted by Ling Hong on the way back and forth, and now there are a total of eleven or twelve bushes by the pond.
After fertilizing, Ling Hong looked at his small orchard with satisfaction, although there is not a single red fruit on the dwarf bush now, but after all, it is also hope!
Tomorrow, let's go to the eastern plain and dig a big pit to see if we can catch a cattle, and if we are lucky enough to catch it, then we don't have to be afraid of this winter! The thick cow hair and at least 500 kilograms of beef are enough for Ling Hong to have a good winter.
Raising the campfire, Ling Hong used a stone pot to cook a pot of beautiful rabbit meat stewed radish in the evening, Ling Hong now feels that the happiest time for him now is to sit at the door of the cave in the evening and burn the bonfire, when eating a big meal, it is really all kinds of leisure, don't enjoy it too much.
Ling Hong counted the harvest that went out, in addition to the gems, gold and staff, along the way Ling Hong picked up some stones, small branches, hay, small flowers, not counting, sixteen radishes, twenty red fruits, picked a demon flower, seven pieces of honey, Chester's eye bone and a short-legged dog box, as well as three rolls of rope next to Liu Ran's corpse, a torch, and a set of ashes and a set of charcoal collected afterwards.
If it weren't for the spontaneous combustion of the last treasure chest, Ling Hong might have gained even more, and it might even be a direct shotgun change, you must know that those technologies, refrigerators and other things are completely impossible for Ling Hong to make by himself, it's really a pity.
Sitting in front of the bonfire, now Ling Hong has a short-legged dog on his left and a six-eyed fly on his right, Ling Hong feels that he is not so lonely, and his small life is quite good.
After dinner, Ling Hong took out the four rabbit skins that had been air-dried before from the hole, and took a roll of spider silk, preparing to make a new pair of pants for himself, which were much more difficult to make than skirts.
Under Ling Hong's spirit of not being afraid of hardship and tiredness, Ling Hong still failed in the end, the rabbit skin pants ended in failure, and finally made the style of a rabbit skin skirt, sure enough, Ling Hong is not a clever person, there are two rabbit skins Ling Hong wants to make a dress, think about it or give up, this is not suitable for himself.
After making the skirt, Ling Hong took out the straw paper map, picked a thin charcoal, and drew it very seriously, it is also a very necessary thing to improve the map, Ling Hong relied on his memory to draw the route he walked along the way on the map as carefully as possible, and the main marking features along the way, as well as the general distribution of the cattle, the specific location of the pig torch, as well as the charred grove and the tomb address of Liu Ran on the road.
The map also shows that there are dwarf bushes in two places, which are the places where they first came to this world and the waterhole where they found giant frogs, these two places will have to run next time to find time, and dig up the dwarf bushes over there, the red orchard is Ling Hong's farming stream, the first step to open the agricultural civilization, and you can't miss any opportunity to grow your own orchard.
"I'm Ling Hong, today is the thirteenth day of my life in this world, I have new partners, Xiao La and Xiao Che, although it's only thirteen days I seem to have begun to adapt to life here, I don't know when I can go home, I saw the corpse of my predecessor yesterday, I was also scared, but I will still try to live, go home, go back to my parents and sisters. Winter is coming soon, I'm Ling Hong, I won't give up!"
......
......
It is now the fourteenth day of Ling Hong's arrival in this famine world, and the weather has already begun to turn a little colder, and it is beginning to enter late autumn......
Ling Hong picked up the shovel early in the morning and prepared to go out, the target was of course the plain, today to dig a big pit, enough to catch the big pit that consumes cattle, in order not to freeze to death in winter, Ling Hong must put the hunting of cattle on the agenda.
The camp is also quite close to the plain, and it will take half an hour to reach it with all his might, this place Ling Hong is already very familiar with, he has caught rabbits twice, and the small forest camp in the east has also walked here.
Ling Hong remembered that he had seen two cattle-consuming cattle on the side before, and now he didn't know if they were still nearby, Ling Hong Jue was still walking a little to the east, there was still a large herd of cattle, digging a big pit, the chance of hitting should be much greater!
As soon as he raised his feet, Ling Hong saw two oxen slowly coming out from the side, in this case, Ling Hong didn't plan to go far, just dig a pit here, it's still quite close to the camp, maybe you can guard against wolf dogs or something in the future.
It may not take much to dig a small pit, digging a big pit that can make the cow fall down, it is really a big project, fortunately I have a shovel, otherwise I don't know when I dig it.
An adult ox is two or three meters high, and Ling Hong has to dig at least four meters high! What is the concept, everyone looks up and sees that their room is only about three meters high, and they have to dig a pit so big and so deep.
Working until noon, even Ling Hong's unconsciously strengthened body in this world is unbearable, or go directly to the station to consume the cow, or climb to the tree to pick up the cow? or forget it, such a big cow, crazy must be more ruthless than a wolf dog, safety is the most important, instead of hard work, it is better to dig a pit, Ling Hong has no system, then use the way of hunting, it is safer!
Ling Hong tied a rope to the tree on the side and put it under the pit to prevent the pit from digging and not going up, then it would be confused, the soil dug out, Ling Hong also put it in the backpack, at the beginning when the hole was not deep, Ling Hong could directly shovel out the soil, and now it has been dug more than three meters, fortunately there is a thief's backpack, otherwise Ling Hong really doesn't know what to do.
Until the sun was about to set in the west, according to previous experience, there were still two hours before the evening, Ling Hong found that his physique had really strengthened a lot, and he was able to dig such a big pit in such a little time, now Ling Hong's physical strength, strength, and endurance may be stronger than that of a long-trained special forces, but it also refers to the physique, if he really fights, Ling Hong will definitely die a miserable death.
Spread a layer of small branches on the trap, Ling Hong put a large amount of hay collected on the side on the small branches, the cattle love to eat hay, so much hay on the trap is not afraid of the cattle will not be fooled.
After completing the trap, the next thing is to wait for the prey to enter the net, of course Ling Hong has no spare time to sit and wait, Ling Hong picked up the axe and cut the rabbit with a round of flying axes, and directly dug the rabbit hole Ling Hong is worried, in order to have rabbits to eat in the future, Ling Hong still feels a little troublesome, and catches the rabbit with the axe!
"Xiu Xiu~"
The sound of axes flying by, more than twenty flying axes, Ling Hong has already cut down three rabbits, and the ox still has no intention of coming over, it should be the reason why Ling Hong is flying axes on the side, Ling Hong thought of this, and immediately returned to the camp with the three rabbit corpses, and it would be good to come back tomorrow to take a look.
