Relying on the system of criticizing people to become a god in farming literature

Chapter 193 Temporary Shelter
Cheng Yao looked at the grass beneath her feet and felt a little troubled.

Logically speaking, if it only lasts for a day or two, there is no big problem in setting it up directly on the grass.

But according to her own labor ability, it is absolutely impossible to build a house with her bare hands in a short period of time.

Therefore, there should be a barrier between the tent and the grass.

It can isolate the moisture of the turf to the greatest extent, as well as some tiny insects and organisms.

While Cheng Yao was hesitating, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the neatly folded oilcloth not far away.

Hey, what a coincidence!
Earlier, Cheng Yao was thinking of reusing the oilcloth.

I really didn't expect it to come in handy so quickly.

It's better to come early than to come by chance.

Cheng Yao carefully placed the parts for building the tent aside, and then trotted to the open space where he was standing just now.

He leaned over and picked up the oilcloth on the ground, and came to the chosen position.

Cheng Yao unfolded the folded oilcloth again, put the side with the waterproof coating facing down, and covered it on the ground.

However, after a few actions, Cheng Yao discovered a new problem.

The grass underneath was very soft, but if it stayed under the tarpaulin for a long time, it would probably rot.

Rotten weeds will further attract other small insects and may even emit a stink.

Cheng Yao suddenly felt something was wrong. If the weeds were not removed, they might still be a hidden danger.

The oilcloth that had just been rolled out was picked up again by Cheng Yao.

Cheng Yao pushed these things away and looked at the open space in front of her with her hands on her hips.

Then he opened the system mall and picked a relatively handy tool.

Then, Cheng Yao held a lawn shovel with a sharp blade and a flat edge in her hand, and started her weeding operation diligently.

With her movements, the weeds were cut neatly, and the fragrance of grass gradually filled the air.

Cheng Yao didn't have time to enjoy the fresh smell, and she didn't even have time to clean up the green juice that stained her clothes.

Anyway, the clothes are already dirty, so let’s just wait until these activities are done and then wash them together.

Finally, with Cheng Yao's unremitting efforts, the ground originally covered by weeds revealed some earthy brown color.

Cheng Yao didn't remove it too harshly, she just didn't want to keep too much rot.

After removing the weeds on the surface, Cheng Yao suddenly felt that her feet were much smoother.

Now cover it with the oilcloth and it will be just right.

Cheng Yao pulled the corners of the oilcloth and spread out the entire oilcloth.

The tarpaulin showed a regular rectangle, and the estimated area was slightly larger than the ground of the tent.

After completing the above preparations, Cheng Yao began to build it.

Before this, she had no experience setting up a tent by herself, so now Cheng Yao read the instructions very carefully.

She first inserted the bracket into the bracket sleeve of the tent fabric and erected the entire main body of the tent.

The tent is not small in size, and its weight always tends to tip to one side.

When installing the bracket, pay attention to the stability and solidity of the bracket to avoid the risk of collapse or being blown over by the wind.

But fortunately, Cheng Yao's strength was not weak, and after several struggles, she was able to settle everything.

Next, insert the ground nails into the ground evenly one by one along the edge of the tent cloth, and ensure that the ground nails are firmly fixed.

This step was very important. After all, Cheng Yao didn't want to wake up the next morning and open her eyes to find that the tent was gone.

Ground pegs stabilize not only the main body of the tent, but also the tarpaulin underneath.

Through this medium, the two are more firmly joined together.After placing the ground nails properly, Cheng Yao picked up the wind rope on the side.

Thread the rope through the rope opening on the tent fabric and secure it to the ground pegs to ensure that the tent is firmly fixed in place.

In order to ensure safety, Cheng Yao specially checked every connection twice.

Finally, Cheng Yao covered the top of the tent cloth on the tent support, tightened the edges of the tent cloth and fixed it on the support.

After completing this series of actions, the tent is almost installed.

Cheng Yao walked around the edge of the tent, and after making sure it was OK, she stuck her head in and took a look.

Her shoes and socks are too dirty now, so she definitely can't go in directly.

Cheng Yao patted the hem of her skirt with some disgust and shook off some scattered materials.

Then he tilted his head and saw that all sides of the tent were wrapped tightly, and he suddenly felt extremely safe.

The bottom of the tent itself has a layer of insulation, and one plus one has a greater effect than two to a certain extent.

With double protection, presumably it should be able to extend the service life of the tent longer.

At night, I don't know if man-eating beasts will emerge from the mountains and forests behind.

Cheng Yao was a little worried, but now, all she could do was to build her own shelter first.

After the tent was set up, Cheng Yao slowly moved the remaining things in.

Cheng Yao took off her shoes and socks, rolled up her trousers, and placed these items where they should be.

Bits and pieces are gradually filling up the empty tent.

It was near evening that Cheng Yao had everything settled.

Stretching out her hand and touching the soft quilt, Cheng Yao really wanted to get in there and have a deep sleep!

However, she still has more important things on her mind right now.

She just briefly counted the food provided by the system.

In addition to some dry food that can be stored for a long time, there are some fresh fruits, vegetables and meat.

According to Cheng Yao's estimate of her food intake, these foods should be enough to get her through the most difficult first month.

This means that she has to find food and fuel and build a new shelter within this month.

At dusk, Cheng Yao looked at herself with disgust.

I couldn't help it, so I got closer and smelled it. In addition to the smell of vegetation, I could also vaguely smell the smell of cold river water.

If she didn't take a shower tonight, Cheng Yao wouldn't be able to sleep.

Besides, her bedding and clothes were all brand new, so she felt she couldn't live with them.

Cheng Yao walked out of the tent, looked at the not-yet-dark sky, and planned to collect some firewood.

But just after taking a few steps, light rain began to fall in the sky again.

"..."

"Do you want it to be just right? You make it rain for me just when I'm about to go out?"

"Sometimes, I really wonder if I am being targeted!"

As if hearing Cheng Yao's complaint, the last touch of warm sunshine completely dissipated in the sky.

"Hey! Really!"

Cheng Yao looked at the increasingly gloomy sky and knew that she couldn't go anywhere now.
