Desert Island Survival Diary

Chapter 108 No.70 Three Days, Rebuilding Home ([-])

I slept soundly last night, and the horrifying dream of the previous few days has gradually faded in my memory.

Today is the time to get up and fix the fence. I stretched my hands and feet in the yard, and I felt much more comfortable. When I was about to start work, I was overjoyed by an unexpected discovery.

The tarp actually fell from the big tree and landed on a thigh-thick tree beside it. The tree was not very tall, and the branches of the whole tree spread out in a semicircle. It would be nice to have a branch with a tarp hanging under it, which is also very convenient.It is possible that the wind last night blew down the tarpaulin that was not hung very securely.This is definitely good news for me.

Tarps have too many functions, and one of the most urgent problems now needs to be solved.

I came under the tree with an axe. This tree is not difficult to climb, because the branches stretch out to the surroundings. I can easily climb to the top of the trunk by grabbing the branches. Those branches where the tarp is hanging are cut down, and then the tarp will come down.

In fact, I really want to use the simplest method, which is to use a long tree trunk to poke down the tarpaulin, but after some observation, this method was finally rejected. The biggest problem is that the crown of this tree is too big , there are so many branched branches, if you stand on the ground, there is no way to break through those overlapping branches.If I climbed the tree and stabbed again, I would have no way to stabilize my body, let alone exert force.

So I still chose this method. The thickest of these branches is also as thick as an arm. Because standing on the branches of a big tree, it is not particularly convenient to borrow strength, and it took a lot of time to cut them.

It should have been more than an hour, and the tarp finally fell to the ground together with the severed branches.The joy of finding it again made me laugh out loud, food is saved!

Yes, the food is saved, and this waterproof cloth is very useful to me now. A few days ago, I thought about how to spread the food for drying, but I couldn’t think of any other method except the waterproof cloth. Fortunately, I got it again!
I spread the tarpaulin on the sunniest part of the yard. I moved a few stones to press the tarpaulin firmly so that it would not be blown up by the wind. Then I opened a bag of rice, Spread the small bag of rice on it.Although the soaked rice was dried in a rice bag before, it is still a little yellow. Although there is no way to make the rice whiter than before, at least it can be guaranteed that these grains can be dried in the sun.

A bag of rice should be dried for at least an hour, and the rice should be turned over in about 10 minutes. After all, the tarpaulin is not very big, so even if there is only one bag of rice, it is piled up together.After turning it once, it can be more evenly dried.In about three days, these grains can be dried almost once.

After doing all this, I started to cut the branches. The small trees that I dragged back from the woods yesterday afternoon have not yet cut off the branches.After cutting, I still have to erect the fence, after all, this is my first line of defense.With a wall around you, you will feel more at ease in your heart.

The branches were finally cut down, and I poured the second bag of rice onto the tarp, and I scooped the first bag back into the bag with a big bowl.It didn't stop for a moment.Fortunately, my muscles didn't feel sore, but I was just extremely thirsty.

I put two slices of lemon in the boiled water, scooped up a little bit of honey, and drank it.

But at least the feeling of dry mouth is gone. There is still some time before noon, so I started to build the fence. It is more troublesome to dig holes to bury tree trunks. It takes a while to dig each hole, but for the sake of stability, I dug every hole It was almost fifty centimeters deep. After digging, the trunk was inserted in, covered with soil and stepped on firmly!
The distance between each pit is about 1.5 meters, and a small tree trunk will be inserted in each pit.This is the foundation of the wall.It is also the most critical step. Only when these tree trunks are firmly fixed, the wall will be stronger.

After burying these small tree trunks and stepping on them, I was so hungry that I couldn’t resist it. Fortunately, there were still a few cakes left, and after sharing them with the two little blacks who were playing with the ball and catching butterflies, I also held a drink in my hand. I ate it aside.Although the tortillas are relatively dry, they are really convenient food at this time. The key point is that I am very hungry, so I have to make some later.

It was noon after eating, and the temperature had risen significantly. I didn't have much time to rest, and so many tree trunks had to be tied to the inserted tree trunks.These trunks are horizontal, and their function is to connect those trunks inserted in the ground. Every two trunks will be tied with two horizontal trunks, and the heights chosen when tying are different.

This is good for the staggered trunks, making the gaps in the wall smaller, and I will block these gaps with branches later.

In this way, I have been busy until dark and haven't finished it, but I don't want to continue to procrastinate, so I lit a fire beside me and continued to work.I didn't stop working until midnight.

Basically, the wall has been completed, and there are still some details left, such as the gate has not been finished, the branches have not been blocked, and the vines have not been planted.But these are not the most important.

The most important things have been done. When it was just dark, Xiao Hei even came to me, knowing that he was hungry, and wanted to ask me for something to eat.But at that time, I was in a hurry, so I gave it the last two pies.

It's midnight now, the moon hangs high in the sky, and the stars are twinkling. If you don't eat something, you really can't fall asleep.

I have to say that this place is the world of animals at night, all kinds of strange calls come and go, like celebrating some festival, the fire also attracts some small insects, they fly around the fire, and even rush into it. The fire... is like a moth.

The bats in the sky are looking for food. I still remember when I first came here, I was worried about what to do if these bats in the sky were vampire bats.But fortunately, it was just unfounded worry, and such a thing did not happen in reality.

In his thoughts, the rice in the pot was already cooked, and the steamed meat on it was so fragrant that even Xiao Hei, who had fallen asleep on the upper floor of the tree house, was attracted to him.

"You gluttonous fellow! It's lucky you met me, otherwise you would have to eat that raw rabbit meat every day!" Pointing at Xiao Hei's head, he smiled and said to it.

"Woooo!" It seemed to understand it, and actually called twice in a low voice.

"嗤..." made me amused again, I know maybe it didn't understand, what's more likely is that it saw me pointing at it, and felt that I was blaming it, so it lowered its head and purred Yell, you're apologizing to me...

　Ahhhh, actually I really want to add a broken chapter with rhythm, but now the blades at home are enough for me to cut carrots for decades, so forget about it~ Can’t it be continuous?
