Chapter 65: Nightfall
As Su Hong, who thinks he is an ordinary straight man, he doesn't know why Xiaobai is angry, he thinks that as a human being, the joys and sorrows are similar, whether it is a man or a woman, but the problem is that Xiaobai is not a human, so Su Hong feels that maybe it is a very rude thing to measure Xiaobai's thoughts with a human way of thinking.
But the question is, what angle should we stand on to figure out Xiaobai's psychology? As a woman's perspective? It's a pity that Su Hong is not a woman, and his way to understand women is to think about the problem of commonality from the perspective of human beings, and what corresponding behaviors he will make when he encounters a certain situation. As a cat's perspective? But Su Hong doesn't understand cats either, domestic cats eat and sleep, wake up and play, sometimes hide when they see people, sometimes they jump on people, I don't know why at all.
After thinking about it, Su Hong couldn't think of what was wrong, obviously Xiaobai was still pleasant when he just woke up.
Maybe it's because you're moving too slowly? When I woke up, I didn't go to work, but ate and drank.
Since there was no way to guess Xiaobai's thoughts, Su Hong smiled stiffly, and then hurriedly took the sword to work.
Walk to the tree cut before, look at the trees that fell to the ground, there are no nails here, you can only use the most basic mortise and tenon structure to fix, this is the great wisdom that has been handed down from ancient times, the mortise and tenon structure not only does not need nails, but also makes the furniture is very strong, as if it is integrated, and the high-grade solid wood furniture is basically taken the mortise and tenon structure.
However, the mortise and tenon structure is not without shortcomings, the biggest disadvantage is that it is complex, and it requires high precision for processing, and Su Hong not only can't do that degree of finishing, if you want to cut silky, you have to be fast, but if you want to be fast, you have to be slow, if you want to be slow, your hands will tremble, and you will tremble like Parkinson's, not to mention Su Hong's brain, you can't think of a complete mortise and tenon structure to do.
Of course, there is no way to use a complex mortise and tenon structure, Su Hong can use something simple.
First cut the wood along the cross-section, the thickness is about 30 cm, roll the wood to a suitable position and flat, continue to cut, not enough to cut another tree, cut out 24 round wooden stakes, roll to the ground to pave a plane, each piece of wood is about 50 cm in diameter, put into a 4X6 shape, that is, 3 meters long, 2 meters wide.
Such a foundation is almost good.
However, the biggest problem is the poisonous insects everywhere, and when it comes to night, Su Hong can't imagine what it will look like.
"Xiaobai, is there a way to expel poisonous insects? Don't let them crawl at night. ”
"Hmph, this is the scope of your task, I won't tell you~" Xiaobai pouted, turned his head, and said with a proud face.
Scope of the Mandate...
Although it seems that he didn't say anything, but this word has actually revealed a lot of information, although he didn't tell Su Hong, but he told Su Hong that this belongs to the scope of the task, that is, the category of task three to solve the smell, simply put, there is a way to solve this problem, and the smell on the body can be solved by using similar methods or related items.
Instead of direct deworming, you can think about how to solve the smell, and then deduce how to repel insects in reverse.
If you want to wipe off the smell, the easiest way is to wash it with water, but looking at the muddy mud and sand in the water and the floating corpses, Su Hong feels that this choice may not be so good.
But if you think about it, the water is so disgusting, maybe you can wipe off the smell?
Su Hong squatted by the river, frowned, and put his finger into the river to dip some water, but before his hand could reach in, Su Hong retreated, walked to Xiaobai's side and took Xiaobai's original water jar to fill a little water.
Pulling the tip of his sword in the dirt, he saw a nest of insects, and then poured the water down.
Unfortunately, there is no miracle, there is no such simple way to find a way to repel insects, the insects that are drenched in water can't fly because their wings are wet, but they can still crawl away, and the movement makes the insects fly away, but soon other insects will reoccupy this place.
Why don't you just open state three again and directly strangle all the mosquitoes within one cubic kilometer?
Although this is a very exciting option, Su Hong feels that this is a little tricky, and it is also out of the essence of survival in the wilderness, which may make Xiaobai, who is already a little unhappy, even more unhappy.
I have to find a way to make Xiaobai happy, otherwise, in this wilderness, even if Xiaobai doesn't deliberately target him, just throw him in this ghost place, Su Hong dares to play a 12-point package ticket, and there is no way for him to get out of here alive.
Of course, there is no way to do it, if the sword is left to Su Hong, Su Hong can raze a cubic kilometer of the vicinity to the ground, without seeking the enemy, wipe out all of them, if you can directly cut off the flow near the river or divert the river, on the news, maybe someone will arrest him to study.
In addition to water, there are other ways to remove odors, such as smearing the body with the sap of leaves, or the blood of some animals, or smoking yourself with the smoke from burning wood, so that the substances in it adhere to your body to achieve a mask effect.
Su Hong knew that the camphor tree had the effect of repelling insects, but there was a problem, he didn't know what the camphor tree looked like, and as for other trees that could repel insects, Su Hong didn't even know the name.
Su Hong first had to find a tree with no insects nearby, but these insects were flying around, and the sky was dark, so Su Hong couldn't tell which tree had the effect of repelling insects.
There is no way, even if it is to destroy the environment.
Find a few trees, cut off their branches, sort them and put them away, bring tinder from the fire in front of Xiaobai and light them separately, if there is an insect repellent effect, it should be able to smoke away the insects near the smoke.
However, Su Hong is obviously too idealistic, mosquitoes have phototaxis and fly towards the firelight, as for the smoke, no insects like gray smoke, but they like glowing fires.
I had no choice but to compare experiments.
I found a few branches, put them on the fire and smoked them, and after the smoke was fully smoked, I found a random place to stick them on the ground, and waited for more than ten minutes to see which stick had fewer mosquitoes.
As for Su Hong himself, he directly smoked himself, anyway, it would be uncomfortable to be smoked for a while, if he was bitten by mosquitoes, it would not be uncomfortable for a while, and the dizziness and powerlessness caused by poisoning made Su Hong not want to experience it again.
"Xiaobai, has task three been completed?" Su Hong walked to Xiaobai's side, his face and body were almost blackened, and he looked gray and embarrassed.
Xiaobai was originally staring at the bacon intently, but when he turned his head and saw Su Hong's appearance, he couldn't help laughing, and the unhappiness of not being praised was also forgotten: "Poof~, why did you get like this?" ”
Su Hongmo wiped his face, and his face, which was originally evenly blackened, became a little whiter and a little blacker, but it was even more funny: "The time has been smoked a little longer, it's not critical, have I passed the task three times?" ”
Xiaobai waved his finger, shook his head and said, "No~"
"Well..."It's been smoked for so long, and it still doesn't work.
There is no answer to the question of how to solve the problem of smell, but Su Hong has thought of how to spend the night.
Although there is no way to repel mosquitoes, but the smell of their bodies is not strong, it is not a smell that makes mosquitoes crazy, they are instinctively more phototaxis, as long as they light a fire in the surrounding positions, it is OK, let all these insects moths fight the fire, and it can also prevent the beast from approaching, the beast will naturally be afraid of fire, it is simply killing two birds with one stone.
Just be careful not to start a forest fire, although the rainforest is difficult to burn, but if it does, it will not be extinguished for a while.
I went to cut some branches, piled them at a distance of a few meters, formed a circle, piled up a total of 16 piles of wood, and went to pick up stones to surround the branches to prevent a fire, and I was busy for a long time, the sky was so dark that I could hardly see anything, the visibility during the day was average, and at night I couldn't see my fingers, and the bright moonlight was greedily absorbed by the leaves.
He lit the fire, and then went to cut down a tree, this time a towering tree, and as soon as it fell to the ground, it shook the birds and beasts, and then processed it, cut off the bark, cut out the rectangular planks and move them to the foundation that had been built before, and laid out a plank bed with perfect fit.
It is not enough to lay one layer, first lay a layer vertically, then spread another layer horizontally, cross at a 90-degree angle to prevent insects from crawling out of the cracks, and then cut a few more planks and insert them horizontally into the ground to block the internal insects of the foundation made of the stump and prevent them from crawling out from the side.
Most of the problems can be solved, if not all.
Su Hong snorted, he was already a little tired, although he took a nap in the afternoon, but he felt that his energy consumption was very large, he sat on the wooden bed and asked, "Xiaobai, do you sleep at night?" ”
"Hmm..." Xiaobai touched his chin and looked at Su Hong, pursed his lips, looked at Su Hong with a slightly strange look, did not answer Su Hong, but waved his little white hand at Su Hong: "You come here." ”
Su Hong touched his head, not quite understanding what Xiaobai wanted to do, but still walked over.
Su Hong walked over, and after Xiao Bai added some more firewood to the bacon, he began to walk in the direction of Su Hong, "You go to the position before me." ”
Xiaobai walked to the side of the wooden bed, then lay on it, put his hands together into fists and put them on his chest, and closed his eyes and remained motionless.
"Uh..." Su Hong understood why Xiaobai looked at him with that kind of look, this picture was indeed a bit weird.
There is a fire burning regularly, and the sound of insects crackling and being scorched as they fly in, and a beautiful girl lying in the middle of it is like some kind of ritual to summon the evil god to offer sacrifices.
It's weird, but it doesn't matter, add some firewood to the fire, and pile up some wood not far from the fire, set an alarm clock, get up and add firewood after 3 hours to prevent the fire from going out, and then Su Hong took a few books out of his bag and planned to use them as pillows, and then walked to the wooden bed to prepare to lie down.
"Human, what did you sacrifice this lovely maiden for? For unsurpassed power? Or is it knowledge of taboo areas? ”
The voice suddenly remembered, but of course there won't really be any evil gods coming, it's just Xiaobai speaking in a different tone, with a vicissitudes of tone and a faint feeling, but its own voice makes Xiaobai's voice sound not weird at all, but full of cute feelings.
"Uh..."Su Hong thought for a while and said, with a somewhat hesitant tone: "In order to get a more cute girl?" ”
"Oh no, young man, there is no more adorable girl in the world than the girl in front of you"
"Snow White, for example?" Su Hong lay on the plank, carefully distanced himself from Xiaobai, shrunk on the edge of the bed, and maintained a normal distance between men and women, although it may still be a little close, but Su Hong could only try not to be next to Xiaobai, so as not to be considered a hooligan, put two pillows under his head, and also gave Xiaobai two books for her to pillow.
"Are you a dwarf?" After taking the book, Xiaobai no longer spoke in a strange tone, but lay down and chatted with Su Hong.
"Maybe?" Su Hong didn't think much about it, he looked up at the sky blocked by trees, if it wasn't blocked, it would probably be a very beautiful starry sky, and he should be able to see the starry sky in the middle of the river, but Su Hong didn't have the energy to make a bamboo raft anymore.
Su Hong was not next to Xiaobai, but Xiaobai took the initiative to approach Su Hong, put his hand on Su Hong's chest and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”
"I didn't see anything, but it's rare to get a place where the air is so fresh, but I can't see the stars." If you can see the starry sky, you should be able to see the sky full of stars.
Xiaobai muttered to himself, "Stars..."
Okay, it's decided, next time I will take Su Hong to travel to space and go to the universe to take a look at the stars, but these stars may be different from what Su Hong imagined, and the current starry sky is just a false star.
