Living in the Wilderness Becomes Stronger

Chapter 59 The Trap Completed
The two chatted while eating, and quickly ate up the fungus and Houttuynia cordata.

"It would be great if there were vegetables to eat often." Lu Ke chewed the last fungus in his mouth, and said with some expectation.

"There are quite a lot of Houttuynia cordata, but you can't eat it every day. After all, it is still a kind of medicinal material. I am afraid that eating too much will not be good for your body." The piece of Houttuynia cordata that Xu Yi found was still a lot, enough for them to eat for a long time a period of time.

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

"Let's go together next time, and hope to find some better vegetables." Lu Ke nodded, and also felt that Houttuynia cordata should not be eaten too much.Its fiber is relatively thick, and eating too much is really not very friendly to the stomach.

"Okay, in a couple of days, let's figure out what's going on in the camp first." Xu Yi agreed to Lu Ke's proposal, after all, he really needed to explore the surroundings.

"Okay." Lu Ke nodded, then looked at Xu Yi, and then asked, "What about the afternoon, how do you arrange it?"

"Take care of the earthen kiln. I'll stick the barbs of the trap into the soil." Xu Yi said, he was not fit to work just after eating.

"Understood." Lu Ke cleaned up the dishes and prepared to rest for ten minutes before starting to work on the kiln.

After resting for a while, Xu Yi held the wooden stick he had sharpened before and started installing the barbs.

The barbs were inserted into the soil one by one by Xu Yi, forming sharp spikes.In this way, it can be regarded as a relatively complete trap.

Xu Yi was planting barbs, and Lu Ke was stirring the soil with water, and then kept stepping on the soil with his feet to make it even.

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 as traps for hunting.

So, in only two and a half hours, Xu Yi inserted all the barbs into the soil.

Then, he took the machete and went to cut thatch.

Bundles of thatch were brought back by him and spread on top of the trap.

"It's done!"

Xu Yi looked at the traps that had been set up, and then showed a relieved smile.

For now, the defense of the camp has been improved a bit.

Xu Yi was not so worried when encountering a pack of wolves.

It was past 5 o'clock after completing these tasks, and Xu Yi returned to the yard.

Lu Ke was still making clay bricks, his head was covered with sweat.

"Take a break, I'll come." Xu Yi walked over and said.

Lu Ke nodded, because she saw that Xu Yi's condition was not bad, and he shouldn't be very tired.

"It feels so comfortable to sweat." Lu Ke wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile.

In the past, she was particularly envious of girls who exercise regularly, and girls who can run marathons.Because her body is not good enough, she can't do strenuous exercise at all.

After being in this world for nine days, she finally realized what it means to sweat profusely.

"It's not easy to sweat, and there will be plenty of places to do physical work in the future." Xu Yi grinned.

This is in the wilderness. If you want to improve your quality of life, you must put in a lot of effort.

"There's nothing wrong with that, right?" Xu Yi kept stirring the mud in the mud pit with his feet to make it more even.

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

After more than ten minutes, Lu Ke asked Xu Yi to get the mud 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.

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

This job is indeed not that easy, and the whole body needs to be exerted. No wonder Lu Ke made himself sweat profusely.

Stirring once can make 5 mud bricks, which is not bad at this speed.

"Xu Yi, don't do it for now, rest for a while and prepare to eat." Lu Ke glanced at the boiling water in the pot, turned his head and said something to Xu Yi.

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

"Okay, isn't there a lot of food in the house?" Xu Yi stopped, and then got the soil out of the mud pit.

"Well, it should last for three more days." Lu Ke originally planned to talk to Xu Yi, but Xu Yi didn't expect Xu Yi to bring it up on his own initiative.

"Okay, I understand." Xu Yi nodded, indicating that he understood.

Three days, it's a lot of time.

If it doesn't work, you can go to the beach to pick up some shells and you can deal with it for two days.

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

There are no iron arrowheads or bone arrowheads. If you only rely on the wood itself, you must find wood with high density and high hardness. Only in this way can you ensure that the bow and arrow can penetrate the animal's fur and shoot into the muscle.

If you're lucky, one day.

If you are unlucky, you may not be able to find wood suitable for making bows and arrows for several months.

Not only bows and arrows, but also many traps.

After all, Xu Yi still had wolves in mind.

Tomorrow, we still have to find suitable wood first.

Thinking about it, Xu Yi made the clay into mud bricks of roughly the same size, and then washed himself clean.

There was only fish soup at night, and Lu Ke didn't continue to cook Houttuynia cordata.

After dinner, the two chatted for a while before continuing to make mud bricks.

"Ow!"

Suddenly, a wolf howled.

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

Xu Yi listened carefully, and then said, "It's still a little far away from us, it seems to be attacking some kind of animal."

Lu Ke listened carefully, and indeed heard the screams of some animals.

"Don't worry, we dug a trap, wolves are not cats, they can't do anything to us." Xu Yi comforted Lu Ke.

He's saying the thing, canines are no better than felines and don't have much to do with fences.

It's hard to say about cats, after all, they can even climb trees.A fence more than one meter high can hardly stop them.

Fortunately, cats are almost solitary, even if they are not solitary, almost all the cats come out to hunt are females, and rarely come out in pairs.

The wolves howled for a while and then subsided, probably taking down their prey.

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

Perhaps it was Xu Yi's calmness that infected Lu Ke and gradually calmed down her nervousness.

"Xu Yi, I got so many mud bricks today, it should be enough." Lu Ke looked at the mud bricks lined up under the eaves, and said something to Xu Yi.

"You go take a shower first, I'll make more. When there are more mud bricks, we can also get a decent stove, so you don't have to squat all the time to make food." Xu Yi said his plan.
