Chapter Twenty-Three: Little Seven who helps with the work

After the chat, Xu Shiying tapped on what he was currently holding, as well as the amount of wood and stone he had.

There is still a shortage of wood and stone, more than a hundred, less than two hundred.

Zhuge Dali has a lot of wood and stones because of the excavation of King Kong, and now that he has Xiao Qi as a helper, it shouldn't be a problem to find some beasts that can be 'bullied', right?

After all, he seems to be quite strong now!

Xu Shiying felt to himself.

Looking down at the time on the "Survival Handbook", it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and it was time to go to bed.

I still have to work hard tomorrow!

Xu Shiying lay in the thick quilt, felt the heat for the first time, sweated all over, in order to avoid the quilt from getting wet, he took off his shirt, and then covered the quilt and fell asleep.

……

"Hmm......"

Xu Shiying opened his eyes in a daze, groping in the faint light.

In the stove, only the flickering charcoal is still sticking to the job, warming the whole room.

He could feel that the temperature in the house had dropped, probably because the fire in the stove had gone out.

Lifting the bed, he sat up, his throat was very dry, he picked up a bottle of mineral water and drank it wildly, put on his clothes, took the memory metal knife to the stove, and used the blade of the metal knife to scrape out all the ashes in the stove and store it in the wooden box.

These plant ashes, which are natural fertilizers, are sprinkled on the soil and can bring nutrients to the soil.

It can also be understood as nutrient soil.

There was a lot of plant ash inside, and there were two large boxes.

When he was done, he filled in small pieces of wood and blew the charcoal in the stove with his mouth, allowing the charcoal to make the new wood glow.

It didn't take long for the wood to be touched by the charcoal, and small flames were rising.

After seeing that the flames gradually grew bigger, Xu Shiying got some slices of meat and leaves and put them into an empty mineral water bottle, poured a certain amount of mineral water and fine salt, and put them in the stove for cooking.

That's his breakfast for the day.

In the past two days, he has eaten meat all at once, and he is a little tired of eating, and he really wants to eat some pasta or drink some porridge.

Or even some fruit?

It's just that he is here in the plains, and so far, he has not seen the existence of wild fruits that he knows.

Those he didn't know, without knowing it, even if he saw it, he wouldn't dare to eat it!

Taking advantage of the cooking, Xu Shiying began to move his muscles and bones in the house, push-ups and sit-ups, which can increase the strength of his abdominal muscles and arms.

Now he is fully aware of how important it is to have a body of strength.

After five minutes of physical fitness, Xu Shiying wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed that his body was too weak, and it seemed that he would have to exercise regularly in the future.

At this time, the broth in the stove was also cooked, and bursts of aroma wafted in, which greatly increased Xu Shiying's appetite.

Xu Shiying carefully took out the mineral water bottle, smelled the aroma of meat, took a sip of broth, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

The soup with salt is delicious.

"Squeak!"

Xu Shiying looked down and saw that Xiao Qi, the kid, was pulling his trouser leg with two paws, and a pair of eyes were staring at the meat in the mineral water bottle in his hand full of desire.

"Okay, okay, don't worry, this is for you!"

Seeing this, Xu Shiying took out three or four slices of boiled meat from the mineral water bottle, put them to his mouth and blew them, and waited for the slices of meat to cool a little before handing them to it.

As soon as Xiao Qi received the meat slices, he couldn't wait to eat them, but because the meat slices were too hot, it squeaked, but even so, it was reluctant to spit out the meat slices in its mouth.

"No one is robbing you, eat slowly!"

Seeing that the meat slices Xiao Qi ate were still hot, he took a bottle of mineral water, put the meat on the bottle, and borrowed the cold water to lower the temperature of the meat slices.

Xiao Qi saw the slices of meat on the mineral water bottle, and couldn't help but want to eat it, Xu Shiying stretched out his hand to stop it, and signaled it not to worry.

After waiting for a minute or two, Xu Shiying probed with his hand, and the meat slices completely cooled down, so Xiao Qi was allowed to eat it.

After eating, Xiao Qi touched his bulging belly, his face full of satisfaction.

looked at the sky outside, and now the sky gradually became clearer, and Jiaoyue had already gone off work to rest.

After dawn, this is the right time to go out!

But he still has a few things to do before heading out!

He first took out the scroll from which he made the trap, and made four of them out of the remaining rattan and wood, and with the one he had made yesterday, he now had a total of five.

It's just that yesterday's beast trap was pierced by the long thorns on Xiao Qi's body, and the base part was already full of holes, although it was not broken, it was almost no different from being broken.

At least for now, this one cage is no longer usable.

The animal trap scroll, you can make five more, but unfortunately there are no rattans now.

He sent a message to Bai Zhong, wanting to exchange for some rattan or something, but Bai Zhong didn't reply to him, thinking that he was still asleep.

But he already has four, which should be enough.

Before he went out, he had to put down these traps near the pens, because he had not yet cleaned up the weeds near the pens, and it was best to hide them under the cover of weeds.

The bait of the animal trap is still smoked slices of meat, after all, I can't bear the slices of meat, and I can't trap the beast.

Although Xiao Qi was full, his eyes still lit up when he saw the meat slices, and he instinctively wanted to snatch it, Xu Shiying told it that this was bait, so that he could eat more meat slices, so Xiao Qi gave up.

Walk out of the door, come to the animal pen, and place the four animal trap cages in your hand in the direction of southeast, south, northwest, and west, and the distance between each cage is at least one meter or more.

Avoid the phenomenon of wild beasts in cages.

Each cage was pressed by him with a stone, in fact, the best thing to use is rattan, one end of the rattan is tied to the stone, even if he catches a wild wolf, he is no longer afraid.

It's a pity that the rattan has been used by him to make cages, and he already knew that he would leave some rattan, so Xu Shiying was a little annoyed.

However, these cages are stone-clad, and generally speaking, small beasts such as the three-eyed black rabbit and the hedgerat cannot break free.

After arranging the cage, he went into the house, moved out the wooden box full of plant ash, then transformed the memory metal into a shovel, dug up shallow marks in a clearing not far from the shelter, and then carefully poured the plant ash from the small wooden box into the traces, and then covered it with soil.

During this period, Xiao Qi also used its two little short legs to help fill in the soil, seeing that it worked so hard, Xu Shiying rewarded it with a piece of meat, but Xiao Qi was very happy, and kept squeaking around him.

even used his body to help him push the stone, although he didn't push it in the end, he also tired Xiao Qi to the point that his stomach was facing the sky, sticking out his tongue and panting.

But the spirit of people is commendable, isn't it?

Seeing that it was so cute, Xu Shiying couldn't help but smile.

It's really a ration that is not in vain!

Since having this little guy, life seems to be a little warmer?

It took him nearly an hour to pour all the ashes from the two wooden boxes, after all, digging is not an easy job.

With the help of these plant ashes, the land in front of you will slowly turn into nutrient soil, and even if it can't, it can increase the nutrients in the soil.

When the seeds are obtained later, the germination rate of the seeds can be increased rapidly.

But with just plant ash, it's a bit difficult to turn this land into nutrient soil?

Why don't you come back and bury some wild fruits in them, which will not only detain the soil, but if you are lucky, you may even get fruit seeds?
