Chapter 53: Build a cozy nest for the hedgerats
Xu Shiying nodded calmly, in fact, he was already happy in his heart.
As long as you are willing to settle here, I will provide you with food and drink, and when you get used to it, even if you can't get the beast control scroll in the future, you will obediently stay in the courtyard of the shelter and not go anywhere.
They will feel that they are not comfortable living anywhere they go.
However, what Xu Shiying didn't know was that Xiao Qi's mother was more far-reaching than it, and the weather was changing now, and they not only had to face powerful beasts outside, but also bad weather changes, especially it had always had a sense of uneasiness in its heart.
It's as if something terrible is going to happen in the near future.
As the speaker of the hedgerat clan, it must worry about the safety of its clan and plan for the future of its clan, which is its responsibility as the speaker of the hedgerat clan.
Xu 10 battalion piled up a part of the timber in the shelter and placed it in the corner in order.
After the shelter was upgraded, the room was more than 100 square meters, so there was no need to worry about running out of space.
The cold wave was coming, he needed to prepare some more wood, and if it was too cold, he would either stay in the gravity room or stay in the cabin, and not go anywhere.
Seeing that he kept carrying wood, Xiao Qi's mother called for her people to come and help.
As the saying goes, they have just enjoyed a delicious meal, so they are naturally happy to help.
They worked quite energetically, and according to Xu Shiying's requirements, they first bit off the branches with their teeth, and then carried them to the cabin.
Xiao Qi picked them up in the cabin and instructed them where to put the wood.
Xu Shiying, who had his hands free, traded all the logs out and exchanged them for a lot of good things.
Rattan, sand, homemade wooden knives, and some bird and animal droppings.
One of the most surprising things for him was the exchange for a silkworm baby, and although he paid the price of nearly twenty logs, he felt that it was all worth it.
With this baby silkworm, he has access to a large amount of silk threads, which can be used to make clothes.
Considering that the number of silkworm babies is a bit low, and he wants to buy some, anyway, he has hedgerats now, and it is relatively easy to cut down trees.
And the silkworm baby he hasn't found here for the time being, it's a relatively rare thing.
However, the survivor who traded the silkworm baby naturally knew the future value of the silkworm baby, and refused to sell more, unless Xu Shiying was willing to exchange it for meat.
Xu Shiying thought about it, exchanging meat for silkworm babies is a bit of a loss, not to mention, he now has a big family to raise, so many mouths, not to mention the consumption in terms of food.
Now the price of meat is getting more and more expensive, so to speak, as long as he wants, he can exchange one rabbit meat for two hundred pieces of wood, you can imagine how expensive the price of meat is.
exchanging sky-high meat for silkworm babies exceeded his expectations, and Xu Shiying refused.
With his refusal, the two broke up in a bad deal.
Xu Shiying doesn't care, the silkworm baby is just a daily necessities, not a necessary thing, he can hunt, those furs can be made into clothes, and he is not short of clothes to wear.
Of course, it would be better if he could have more silkworm babies, but only if the price is reasonable, otherwise, he has no need to trade.
Then he exchanged the snake meat for a bow and arrow, and Bai Zhong gave him ten arrows.
He also gave him the method of making arrows, and when he chatted with Bai Zhong, he could feel his joy.
Xu Shiying asked him curiously.
Bai Zhong told him that at about three o'clock in the morning yesterday, he had raised all the wood and stones, and finally raised the shelter to the third level.
And in the upgrade gift box, a good thing was opened, which can be said to effectively solve his current survival problem.
As for what was opened, Bai Zhong didn't say, and he didn't ask.
Everyone has their own secrets, and that's normal.
Bai Zhong was promoted to a third-level shelter, Xu Shiying was really happy for him, it was not easy for him to survive, and with a baby, Bai Zhong's survival pressure was much heavier than that of him and Zhuge Dali.
And it's really not easy for him to persevere.
After chatting with Bai Zhong for a while, Xu Shiying began to build a warm nest for the hedgerats.
For the hedgerats, the shape of the nest does not matter, as long as it is strong and warm and there is something to eat.
After consulting Xiao Qi's mother, Xu Shiying built a simple tripod wooden house, with a layer of dog tail grass on the ground, a layer of grass on the roof, and a little mud to make it paste.
The simple structure of the cabin is available.
However, he will need to strengthen it in the future, but it can be lived in now.
Xiao Qi's mother led the clansmen into the nest and looked at everything in the nest curiously.
Because the yard is more than a hundred square meters, the space is large enough, and the number of hedgerats is quite large, so when he built the cabin, he took this factor into account, the space of the cabin is very large, let alone lying in it to sleep, even if it is rolling.
Xiao Qi's mother is very grateful for this, and with the nest, he and his people can live in peace.
Xu Shiying wanted to invite Xiao Qi's mother to live with Xiao Qi in his shelter, but Xiao Qi's mother shook her head and refused.
It wants to live with its people and take care of them, and when Xu Shiying saw that it was so persistent, he stopped persuading.
After that, Xiao Qi went into the wooden house and took the people to get familiar with the new environment.
Xu Shiying was busy with his own business.
When he was chatting with Zhuge Dali today, Zhuge Dali told him that the charcoal crushing could be used to wash his hair, and he was stunned.
Can you wash your hair when it's pitch black?
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Zhuge vigorously pulled him and said a lot of nouns and equations, which made him drowsy, and there was a kind of rush that he would rather face a wild boar than listen to the class.
However, since Zhuge vigorously said that he could wash his hair, it meant that he could really wash his hair.
Speaking of which, his hair was knotted and smelled rancid, Xu Shiying poured some water into the mud bowl, crushed the charcoal vigorously, and then wrapped the crushed charcoal powder in leaves so as not to stain his hands.
He was still quite curious about the effect of charcoal shampooing, Xu Shiying thought about it, walked into the house and took some hot water from the fireplace, and tested the water temperature with his palm, which was not too hot.
Xu Shiying grabbed a handful of charcoal powder, lowered his head to wet his hair, and then wiped the charcoal on his head.
Black droplets of water slid down his forehead and the back of his head, looking very strange, as if he had just come out of a coal mine.
But it is undeniable that charcoal is really useful, and when you knead it a little, where the knot is knotted, it opens.
It also seems to have some effect on eliminating the smell of sweat.
"Brush ......"
Xu Shiying scratched a few times, lowered his head and rinsed it in the mud bowl, until the water in the bowl turned black, he poured out the water, poured some water and continued to rinse, and then raised his head and stroked the water from his hair with both hands, feeling that the whole person was refreshed.
In order to avoid catching a cold, he went back to the cabin and wiped his hair with the clothes on his body.
Looks like we'll have to find a way to make a towel.
The hair is refreshing, but the body is still slimy, these days of work, every day the back is soaked, and then warm and dry, the whole skin has been dark and damp for a long time, sometimes, in the middle of the night, he will be itched to wake up.
