Chapter 59

The two ate and talked, and soon ate up the fungus and Houttuynia cordata.

"If only there were vegetables to eat often." Lu Ke chewed the last fungus in his mouth and said something expectantly.

"There are a lot of Houttuynia cordata, but you can't eat it every day. After all, it's still a kind of medicine. I'm afraid it's not good for your health if you eat too much." Xu Yi found that there are still a lot of Houttuynia cordata, enough for them to eat for a long time.

And where the environment is suitable for the growth of Houttuynia cordata, it will grow again after eating one.

"Let's go together next time, hoping to find some better vegetables." Lu Ke nodded and felt that Houttuynia could not eat more. Its fiber is relatively thick. Eating too much is really not very friendly to the intestines and stomach.

"OK, in two days, we'll find out about the camp first." Xu Yi agreed to Lu Ke's proposal. After all, we really need to explore around.

"OK." Lu Ke nodded, then looked at Xu Yi, and then asked, "what about the afternoon, how to arrange it?"

"Do something about the earth kiln. I'll insert the barb of the trap into the soil." Xu Yi said. He was just full and not suitable for work.

"I see." Lu Ke cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, prepared to rest for more than ten minutes and began to work on the earth kiln.

After the rest, Xu Yi held the previously cut wooden stick and began the installation of barbs.

The barbs were easily inserted into the soil to form sharp spikes. In this way, it is a relatively complete trap.

Xu Yi planted barbs, Lu Ke stirred the soil with water, and then kept stepping on the soil with his feet to make them uniform.

Across a fence, the two were busy with their own affairs.

The barbs arranged by Xu Yi are not dense. After all, they are mainly used for defense, not for hunting.

Therefore, it took only two and a half hours, and Xu Yi inserted all the barbs into the soil.

Then he took a machete and went to cut the grass.

Bundles of thatch were carried back by him and spread over the trap.

"Done!"

Xu Yi looked at the trap that had been arranged, and then showed a happy smile.

At present, the camp's defense has been improved.

When wolves attack, Xu Yi is not so worried.

It was more than 5 o'clock to finish these work, and Xu Yi returned to the yard.

Lu Ke is still making clay bricks and his head is covered with sweat.

"You have a rest, I'll come." Xu Yi went over and said.

Lu Ke nodded, because she saw that Xu Yi was in good condition and should not be very tired.

"It's really comfortable to sweat." Lu Ke wiped the sweat on his forehead and said with a smile.

In the past, she especially envied the girl who often worked out and the girl who could run a marathon. Because her body is not good, there is no way to exercise violently.

After nine days in the world, she finally realized what it was to sweat like rain.

"It's not easy to sweat. There are many places to do physical work in the future." Xu Yi grinned.

This is in the wilderness. If you want to improve the quality of life, you must pay a lot of efforts.

"Isn't that wrong?" Xu Yi kept stirring the mud in the mud pit with his own feet to make them more uniform.

"Well, that's OK." Lu Ke nodded. After all, it's not difficult and easy to master.

After more than ten minutes, Lu Ke asked Xu Yi to get the soil out of the mud pit. Then shovel one side of the dry soil into the mud pit, add a certain amount of water, and then stir it up.

After a process, Xu Yi knows how to do it.

This job is really not so easy. He has to work hard all over. No wonder Lu Ke is sweating all over his head.

Mixing once can make 5 mud bricks, which is a good speed.

"Xu Yi, don't do it first. Have a rest and get ready for dinner." Lu Ke glanced at the boiling water in the pot and turned his head and said to Xu Yi.

There is not much dried fish. I can eat it for three days at most, and then I will enter the stage of no food.

"OK, isn't there much food in the house?" Xu Yi stopped and got the soil out of the mud pit.

"Well, it should last three days." Lu Ke had planned to talk to Xu Yi. Unexpectedly, Xu Yi took the initiative to bring it up.

"OK, I see." Xu Yi nodded to show that he understood.

Three days, it's a good time to say.

It's really not good. You can go to the beach to pick up some shells or deal with it for two days.

During this time, he had to find suitable materials for making bows and arrows.

There is no iron arrow or bone arrow. If you only rely on the wood itself, you must find wood with high density and high hardness, so as to ensure that the bow and arrow can penetrate the animal's fur and shoot into the muscle.

If you're lucky, you can do it in a day.

With bad luck, you may not be able to find suitable wood for making bows and arrows in a few months.

Not only bows and arrows, but also many traps.

After all, Xu Yi is still thinking of wolves.

Tomorrow, it's better to find suitable wood first.

Thinking about things, Xu Yi made clay into mud bricks of basically the same size and washed himself.

At night, there was only fish fillet soup, but Lu didn't cook Houttuynia cordata.

After dinner, after chatting for a while, they continued to make mud bricks.

"Ouch!"

Suddenly, a wolf howled.

Lu Ke immediately became nervous and said, "Xu Yi, is this the wolf?"

Xu Yi listened carefully and said, "it's still a little far from us. It seems that he's attacking some animal."

Lu Ke listened carefully and did hear the scream of some animal.

"Don't worry, we dug a trap. The wolves are not cats, so they can't help us." Xu Yi comforted Lu Ke.

What he said is that dogs are no better than cats. They don't have much way to fence.

Cats are hard to say. After all, they can even climb trees. A fence more than one meter high can hardly stop them.

Fortunately, cats almost live alone, even if they are not alone, they are almost female, and few come out in pairs.

The wolves howled for a while and then subsided. They should have taken their prey down.

Xu Yi continued to work with the clay without being affected at all.

Maybe Xu Yi's calmness infected Lu Ke and gradually calmed her nerves.

"Xu Yi, it should be enough to get so many mud bricks today." Lu Ke looked at the rows of mud bricks under the eaves and said to Xu Yi.

"Go take a bath first. I'll get more. When there are more mud bricks, we can get a serious stove, so you don't have to squat and cook." Xu Yi said his plan.
