Chapter 72: I Caught a Lot of Treasures
After a while, the young men got up and began to talk softly, saying that they would go to the mountains and cut down some more trees.
When Xu Jingluo heard it, he immediately got up from the ground, ran forward and shouted, asking the men to wait before leaving.
She looked at the dozen or so freshly cut down trees thrown on the ground, and couldn't help frowning slightly, and said with some dissatisfaction: "The trees you cut down can be used to build walls, but I'm afraid it's a bit reluctant to build a house!" ”
After Xu Jingluo finished speaking, he came to the palm tree not far away, knocked hard, and said to them: "The house we build must be firm and strong, as thick as a palm tree." ”
"The palm trees are very strong, but we only have a few axes in total, and we can't chop many of them!" Feng Yongsheng listened to her words, went over with his hands behind his back, sighed faintly, and said.
Hearing this, Xu Jingluo pinched his chin lightly, and after thinking about it carefully, he slowly spoke: "It's really troublesome to split trees with an axe, and you have to adopt another strategy." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she looked around, and soon fixed on the bottom of the palm tree, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and a thought came to her mind.
So, in order to verify whether his plan could be successfully implemented, Xu Jingluo took out the hemp rope that was as thick as a child's wrist that he had used before, and held an axe to cut a zigzag hole at the bottom of the palm, and finally tightened the hemp rope.
"Let's help and see if we can take the palm without an axe."
The men came down one after another, rubbing their hands one by one, and after moving their wrists, they grabbed the hemp rope together and pulled it back, like a tug-of-war, shouting slogans in tacit understanding. After a while, the palm made a crisp sound, and it easily cracked through the jagged opening, and poured over to the side where no one was!
"Ahh Won't it? How did you manage a palm so easily? It's amazing! The crowd watched the palm fall in front of them, stunned and incredulous.
"If we follow such a high efficiency, it won't take long to collect enough trees to build a wooden house, and we don't need to worry about it at all!"
"That's right! There are a lot of palms planted here, so we don't have to worry about it! ”
Feng Yongsheng looked at the palms around him, and was very happy, smiling from ear to ear.
Others gave Xu Jingluo a thumbs up and praised: "Miss Xu is really smart, and with just a piece of hemp rope, she easily helped us eliminate trouble!" Miss Xu is really resourceful! ”
Feng Yongsheng also praised a few words, then rubbed his eyebrows, looked at Xu Jingluo and said, "Miss Xu, although the matter of cutting down trees is no longer a headache, we still have to deal with eating and sleeping at present." As I said before, even if you cook gruel for a few days at most, the lychees and durians around here are estimated to be exhausted soon. Further down into the mountains, we worry that people may lose their way and that there are too many unsafe elements in it. ”
He paused, then continued, "Also, where do we sleep?" If it can be sunny every day, it can barely be done, otherwise, once it is windy and rainy, you will definitely not be able to sleep on the beach! Miss Xu, what do you think about this? ”
When Xu Jingluo heard this, he also looked worried and frowned. There are obviously a large number of materials piled up in the space, but they can't be used in reality in an open and honest manner, isn't it like chicken ribs?
When she bit her lip and secretly wondered how to make up an excuse, Feng Ze'an rushed to Feng Yongsheng and Xu Jingluo with three or four young people.
Feng Ze'an panted and said: "Dad, Miss Xu, a few of us just climbed the tree to pick fruits, who expected to find a sinking painting boat floating on the river, should we go over and rescue the painting boat?" ”
"Painting boats?" Feng Yongsheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said in surprise: "Maybe there are some good things in it, let's go over and take a look at the situation immediately!" ”
When everyone heard him say this, they all cheered happily, and couldn't wait to run in the direction pointed out by Feng Ze'an, hoping that it would be as the owner said, and the painting boat would be loaded with rich materials!
When they reached their destination, everyone did see the boat that was sinking on the surface of the river, and they all approached with anticipation.
Seeing this, Feng Yongsheng immediately ordered: "Hurry up, drag the painting boat over with a cable, don't let it continue to drift into the depths!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, those young men who were good at swimming immediately jumped into the river, and soon tied the rope to the deck of the painting boat, tied it tightly, and everyone pulled the rope and pulled it hard, although it pulled some distance, but it didn't take long to seem to encounter the obstacle at the bottom of the river, and there was no response no matter how hard they pulled.
Feng Yongsheng was helpless, so he asked Xu Jingluo on the side, and said, "Miss Xu, do you want to come up with any good ideas?" ”
Xu Jingluo took two steps forward and carefully observed the painting boat, which was similar to the painting boat that everyone had taken before, and the size was also very similar.
After thinking about it for a while, Xu Jingluo looked at everyone and said, "Such a Pang Da painting boat, if it is forcibly transported, I am afraid it will be difficult to do it, I just thought of two ideas, you discuss how to choose." ”
She paused and said aloud: "First of all, let the painting boat drift away, and the next day it is estimated that the morning tide will rush to the beach." In this way, the painting boat can be safe and sound, and the pond can be kept in its original state. Perhaps, the bilge inside the boat could be used as a sleeping place. However, it is possible that the boat will drown again and fall to the bottom of the sea on the way to the bottom, so it is estimated that there will be nothing left! ”
"Secondly, the painting boat is dismantled piece by piece and used as a material to build the house, and by the way, look around all the things on it to see if there are any good treasures! Although this method is the safest, it is relatively time-consuming and labor-intensive! ”
"Since the method you said later is the safest, then let's follow that method!" Feng Yongsheng and the people made a decision without hesitation.
Xu Jingluo originally thought that the idea of letting the painting boat float away would be more beneficial, but after all, she needed to follow their decisions, so she had to agree.
It didn't take long for everyone to be in full swing with axes and saws, ready to dismantle the boat to pieces.
It wasn't until it was completely dark that they couldn't see clearly, they stopped moving, packed up their tools, dragged their tired bodies back, and after eating gruel, they fell asleep in a short time.
At dawn the next day, some young women carried buckets of water and went together to the shallow waters to catch food, and in a short time, they were full of seaweed, white clams, horseshoe shells, yellow eels, oysters, geoducks, and so on.
They had never seen them before, and they didn't know what they were, but they thought they should be edible, so they put them in a bucket and brought them to Xu Jingluo for recognition.
"Miss Xu help us take a look, the things we just fished from the sea, and there are still living and moving, do you know what these are? Can it be stir-fried? ”
Xu Jingluo stretched his neck, looked into the bucket, and immediately danced with joy, and said with a smile: "Wow! You've caught so many treasures! Not only can these creatures be fried, but they are also delicious and nutritious in a variety of ways! It's a rare delicacy! ”
When the women heard this, they began to rejoice. Xu Jingluo was also patient and told them the scientific names and basic practices of these seafood products one by one.
The women listened very carefully and did it very seriously, and under the personal guidance of Xu Jingluo, after spending a lot of effort, they cooked fragrant and delicious dishes.
Everyone was full, and their bellies were about to burst, as if they were still unfinished, they smacked their lips, praising that this was a delicacy in the world, and they were more powerful after eating!
