Beside the four trees on the island, Li Yingjie was checking the surrounding environment, to see if the river next to him would flow here, and to see if there were any potential dangers around.

However, it's winter here now, so Li Yingjie checked around and found nothing wrong.

He identified the four trees growing together again, and was surprised to find that these trees seemed to be Populus euphratica.

Look at the dense forest next to it, there are also poplar trees inside!

Immediately, Li Yingjie was surprised.

Populus euphratica... This is a tree species that can survive extreme conditions.

Usually in the arid Gobi desert or in the saline-alkali land, large areas of Populus euphratica can be seen, which is called the backbone of the desert.

People say that Populus euphratica will not die for a thousand years, will not fall for a thousand years after death, and will be immortal for a thousand years after falling. This is already a symbol!

But why does it grow here?
This place...well, this place is magical and cannot be analyzed with common sense.

After all, if the physics theory does not collapse, a small island will not suddenly appear in this place. In other words, if the physics theory does not collapse, he should not travel with his past life memories!

Li Yingjie patted the trunk of a poplar tree.

He suddenly remembered that when he was a child, when he listened to the teacher talking about Populus euphratica in class, the teacher said that the reason why Populus euphratica is distributed in the Gobi desert is also because it needs sandy soil and hot and dry climate.

If grown in hot and humid climates and heavy clay soils, it will stunt!

Li Yingjie looked at the trees around him. Most of them were more than ten meters high. The thick ones were about the size of his waist, and the thin ones were about the size of his thighs.

In my impression, the normal height of Populus euphratica is 30 meters, and the diameter can reach more than one meter.

It seems that the trees here are stunted!

"Why are you in a daze, don't you want to cut down trees?" Lin Xiaoying said suddenly.

She had already taken out the machete and sapper shovel, handed the machete to Li Yingjie, and she was picking up dry wood and hay around with the sapper shovel.

There was a straw-like grass here. She pulled out a few and looked carefully, and suddenly felt that Li Yingjie should have a way to weave them into straw ropes, so she collected this kind of grass around.

Holding a machete, Li Yingjie found small trees and thicker branches around him.

At 11:53 system time, he began to chop down a small tree with the thickness of an arm.

At 13:22 system time, the required wood has been collected.

The wood used to make the bottom board needs to be strong, and the dead wood used to make the ceiling can be used. Therefore, the trunk of Populus euphratica with thick arms is used for the base, and the dead wood and branches on the ground are used for the ceiling.

Li Yingjie took out the parachute's parachute and began to wind the wood between the four trees.

The base must be strong, otherwise it will be troublesome if it collapses halfway through sleeping, so Li Yingjie took it very seriously.

Soon, Lin Xiaoying came back with a pile of hay and put it neatly on the ground.

"Can these be braided into straw rope?" She asked Li Yingjie after putting down the hay.

Li Yingjie took a look at the hay, each one was like straw, about thirty to forty centimeters long.

He temporarily put down the work in hand, went to pick up a piece of hay and pulled it, his eyebrows raised slightly.

"You can make it up, let me teach you!"

With that said, Li Yingjie sat down with a piece of dead wood, picked up twenty or thirty straws, divided them into three relatively even parts, and braided the straws into a straw rope with one head braided.

When a section of straw is almost at the end, seven or eight straws are picked up to continue, and soon a rope is formed.

Lin Xiaoying saw that she could do this, it was very simple, as long as she had hands!
She immediately pulled a piece of dead wood and sat there, and began to weave straw ropes.

Li Yingjie stood up and said, "You don't need to make it too long, just about three meters long, and it can be used to bind the walls around the shelter in a while."

"Okay!" Lin Xiaoying replied, her hands kept moving.

Li Yingjie continued to work on the baseboard of the tree shelter.

Straw ropes must not be used for the floor. Even if the straw ropes are very strong, they are still prone to decay after a period of time. At that time, their shelter will become a "dangerous building" again!
Or the rope cut from the parachute is easy to use.

At 13:59 system time, the baseboard of the tree shelter is ready.

Li Yingjie patted the ashes on his hands, feeling a little hungry.

In the morning, the organizer provided beef jerky, chocolate, military compressed biscuits...all of them are high-energy and hunger-resistant things.

Li Yingjie didn't eat less in the morning, but he was still hungry now.

Since his strength reached a certain level, Li Yingjie discovered that his appetite became better and better.

And if you do heavy physical work, you will be hungry faster and eat more!
All in all, he wants to eat now!

"Student Xiaoying, let's go to the river to see if there are any fish to eat!"

Li Yingjie picked up the machete, iron pan, kettle and multi-function knife.

Lin Xiaoying wasn't too hungry, but she got up with the engineer shovel and followed Li Yingjie towards the river.

The width of the river here is only five or six meters, but it is much wider than the creek where they survived last time.

However, the two fished in the water for a long time with an iron pot, and observed the water for a long time, but there was no trace of fish.

Probably because of the winter.

Li Yingjie touched the river water, it was a bit cold, he found a stick and tried it, the water depth was estimated to be two or three meters, immediately, Li Yingjie gave up his plan to jump into the water.

It's getting wet...it's so cold!

"Why don't you see if there are any wild vegetables around?" Lin Xiaoying said.

Li Yingjie looked around. The withered grass was either upright or toppled, and there were black leaves on the trees that hadn't fallen yet. There was a gust of cold wind blowing all around, and there was no trace of green, making him look particularly bleak.

"I think...that's enough!"

In this case, finding wild vegetables might be even more difficult than catching a bear.

The two searched around, but they didn't see anything to eat. After thinking about it, Li Yingjie continued to build a shelter.

Although starvation is uncomfortable, there will be no major problems if you go hungry for a day or two, but the shelter is not well built, and you may be frozen at night.

At the two-meter-high position on the tree, the baseboard has already been built. Li Yingjie took the remaining dead wood branches and climbed to the floor to start building the roof.

They have parachute covers, which are a very strong fabric, so the roof doesn't have to be very dense, just put those fabrics on.

At 15:12 system time, the roof was built, and below, Lin Xiaoying had already weaved more than a dozen straw ropes.

Li Yingjie was about to go down and take branches and straw ropes to build the surrounding walls, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a gray rabbit jumping over at the edge of the open space in front of him.

Li Yingjie's eyes lit up immediately, and he jumped down while copying the hatchet on the floor.

OK, lunch is here!
