After living on a desert island, they all plotted evil against me.

Pick up the square piece of soil and press it evenly on half of the bamboo. It will immediately turn into a curved piece with a uniform thickness.

At this moment, Zhang Liu was carefully taking off a curved piece of earth from the bamboo, and then placed it upright next to the fire to bake.

All the girls couldn't understand what he was doing for a moment.

"Zhang Liu, are you making tiles?" Qin Ruoyan, who was massaging Anya's arm muscles, finally guessed.

As a descendant of traditional Chinese medicine, she has certain medical knowledge.

So after seeing the finished product, I also recognized the thing in front of me from its shape.

It...should be a traditional clay tile that can be used to bake special medicinal materials, right?

"Well, I want to make tiles. In the rainy season in the future, I still have to drain the water." Zhang Liu nodded, and then said: "If possible, I also plan to bake bricks to build a house."

"Hmm, is this what the tiles look like?" Xiang Lingying couldn't understand how troublesome it was to burn bricks to build a brick house in the wilderness. At present, she could only follow the strange shapes she saw of the tiles. Jie Di asked: "I remember the wavy lines on the roof tiles..."

"Miss, those are glazed tiles. What Zhang Liu is making now should be earth tiles." Xiang Wanying quickly explained to her eldest daughter.

Probably because it is too far away from the brick house.

None of the girls realized the importance of the brick house. Instead, they began to discuss why the tiles fired by Zhang Liu were in such an "arch bridge shape"

Even Anya, who was lying on the ground, also participated in the discussion.

It was just that despite the heated discussion, no one came up with any explanation.

Finally, they all looked at the boy who was making the third tile...

"Huh?" Realizing the looks in everyone's eyes, Zhang Liu also spoke about what he knew.

He saw this from a certain real-life wilderness survival show, but the other party fired straight tiles, not curved tiles like his own.

The reason why Zhang Liu made the tile surface into a curved and concave shape is so that it can be placed overlapping in a "concave-convex-concave" form.

After all, whether it is a flat tile or a concave tile placed with all the concave sides up or down.

This will lead to leaky cracks at the joints of the tiles.

But if the convex surface covers the junction of two concave tiles.

Water will stay along the concave tiles instead of seeping into the room.

"If that's the case, you can also use bamboo instead of tiles..." Qin Ruoshuang sat next to Gu Qingrou. She tapped her slightly sore calf and asked softly: "Why do you have to do this?" What about making tiles out of mud?”

"Because the mud tiles are relatively heavy, they are not easily blown by the wind." Zhang Liu looked at the third tile he had completed, and then added another advantage: "And even if it is soaked in rain for a long time, it will not appear. Too much odor.”

Chapter 321 Let’s go for a walk outside?

"But how to put it on the roof?" After understanding the problem of the tile shape, Xiang Lingying said with a serious expression: "This tile looks very heavy and slippery..."

"Well, I'm going to wait until it dries a little, then I'll make a small hole on both sides of the top, and then I can hang it on the roof with a thin rope." With a slight smile, Zhang Liu spoke out his plan.

"If we do that, the amount of work will be huge."

Su Yan had been paying attention to Zhang Liu's behavior, and then expressed her thoughts.

What she said was indeed true. The progress of making tiles was very slow. Zhang Liu had only made three tiles from the time he finished eating, each of which was only the size of a palm.

Even the tiles needed to build a house would probably take him several days to do alone...

Not to mention that this is just the time to make the tiles. There is also a series of things to be done later, such as drilling holes in the tiles, firing the tiles, laying the roof frame, and visiting the tiles.

This whole process shouldn't take too long...

So Su Yan was worried that even if it rained, no brick houses could be built.

"Well, I just plan to do it in my spare time. At present, the house still uses bamboo as the main building structure, and the brick house is a backup procedure." Regarding the worry in Su Yan's tone, Zhang Liu also smiled and explained: "Don't worry too much. Care."

Hearing Zhang Liu's words, Su Yan nodded. Lan Yueting's expression beside her froze slightly, and she heard the implication of the other party's words.

That means I and others may have to make plans to fight in this wilderness for a long time...

After all, no matter how resistant bamboo is to decay, it should be no problem if it lasts for a few months.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Lan Yueting finally said nothing.

She just silently pressed her thumb with her fingernails. This was Lan Yueting's way of relieving stress.

The exhaustion during the day left the girls with little energy to start the bedtime talks. When Zhang Liu finished laying the seventh piece of earth tiles, all the girls had already looked drowsy.

But they just couldn't bear to sleep, as if they were insisting on something.

Sensing that something was wrong, Zhang Liu looked at the eight girls in front of him in confusion, and then he said, "Why don't you go to bed? Aren't you tired?"

The girls didn't speak, just looked at Zhang Liu silently, and then collectively curled up their toes slightly in the shoes.

Everyone was wearing shoes at the moment, and they all knew what the smell would be like when they took off their shoes.

So I dare not take off my clothes to sleep...

After all, everyone has been walking all day. No one else knows whether the feet are sweating, but the owner of the feet definitely knows.

Especially Qin Ruoyan wearing stockings and leather boots, Qin Ruoshuang and Xiang Wanying...

In order to prevent the horror of social death, the girls planned to wait for Zhang Liu to lie down before taking off their shoes.

Although it is said that there will still be a smell after taking it off, but by that time, it is something that everyone has...

Whose it is... no one knows, and no one can tell it apart.

Therefore, if Zhang Liu doesn't sleep now, basically no girl will.

"Well, if nothing happens, I'll go to bed first." Putting down the seventh tile, Zhang Liu looked around at the girls surrounding him again, with a bit of confusion in his eyes.

But he didn't think too much, he just took off his shoes and socks, then lay down directly and started to sleep with his eyes closed.

After seeing Zhang Liu lying down, the girls took off their shoes and socks one after another and pointed their white feet towards the fire to bake.

In fact, they are simply overthinking it.

During the time on the top of the mountain, everyone maintained the good habit of bathing once a day.

So even after walking for a day, after taking off your shoes and socks, the smell of foot sweat is not as strong as before.

There is also a lot of space here, and with a gust of night wind blowing in, the slight smell of foot sweat quickly dissipated.

Looking at each other, the girls who have been struggling with this issue are all a little embarrassed...

Immediately, everyone had a helpless smile on their faces, and then they lay down together and started to sleep.

As the moon gradually rose, the eight days of No. 40 in the wilderness also passed quietly.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Liu woke up first.

It's still early and the morning stars in the sky are still bright.

It is estimated that it will take at least another hour or two before the morning light emerges from the east to announce the dawn.

Taking a deep breath, he slowly sat up.

Maybe it’s because the one-meter-high wooden fence and wide ceiling provide good heat reflection, or maybe it’s because of the large number of people.

At this moment, the air temperature in this small shelter is relatively high.

Pull out a few relatively slender and flammable branches from the pile of firewood next to the fire and place them in the fire where there is only red charcoal. With the green smoke lingering, the flame rises from the contact surface of the charcoal and gradually licks it. Firewood all over the body.

With the light of the fire burning again, Zhang Liu turned around to look at Xiang Wanying and Qin Ruoshuang who were curled up beside him at some point.

He was slightly lost.

Their eyelashes are as thin and long as small brushes.

The corners of his mouth naturally curved, as if he was having a sweet dream.

"Hehehehe... Dad, your improved version of the nine-turn large intestine is so delicious..." Behind Xiang Wanying, Xiang Lingying whispered in his sleep.

Zhang Liu frowned subconsciously after hearing this talk in his sleep...

Farther away were Anya, who was subconsciously grabbing her belly with her hands, and Su Yan, who had her palms between her thighs for some reason, with a look of satisfaction on her face.

A peaceful and beautiful scenery.

"Tsk..."

A slight smacking sound was heard, and Zhang Liu followed the sound and turned to look behind Qin Ruoshuang.

As the contact time increases, he can also distinguish the differences between twin sisters from the details.

When sleeping, Qin Ruoyan prefers to throw her hair on her chest.

Qin Ruoshuang put her hair directly behind her.

It was for this reason that Zhang Liu was able to confirm at a glance that the girl lying next to him was Qin Ruoshuang.

At this moment, Qin Ruoyan had woken up and was making a slight sound to attract the attention of a certain boy.

After seeing Zhang Liu looking over, she immediately raised her finger and pointed at the entrance, indicating whether the two of them wanted to go outside for a walk.

With a slight nod, Zhang Liu carefully stood up from his seat.

Then he walked to the gap with bare feet and gently moved the fence made by Gu Qingrou.

The cool air outside rushed in instantly, and Zhang Liu couldn't help but take another deep breath, filling his lungs with fresh air.

This feeling is really good...

Next to him was Qin Ruoyan, who also stood up and came out barefoot. The two of them did not speak, but walked out silently.

Chapter 322: This bamboo rat seems... really dead?

After walking out, Zhang Liu did not forget to reset the gap fence again.

At the same time, he also held a bamboo sword in his hand, which was cut from the bamboo last night.

It is about one and a half meters long, the width of two fingers, and less than half a centimeter thick.

This is a small toy that Zhang Liu cut out for himself.

Right now, holding it in your hand can play a certain role in self-defense.

Qin Ruoyan also had two bare feet. She and Zhang Liu had already walked about ten meters away from the temporary camp, and then she said, "Today, it should be the Laba Festival, right?"

At this moment, the first quarter moon in the sky still exists, but it has begun to be hazy, as if it is covered with a layer of fog, or it may be that thin clouds just happen to blow by.

But the morning star around it still exists and shines a steady light.

The two intertwined and complemented each other, just like the man and woman standing silently next to the two bamboos at this moment.

"How did you know that today is the Laba Festival?" After hearing Qin Ruoyan mention this special time, Zhang Liu asked with a little curiosity.

"Because I know January 21st is New Year's Eve. Don't you want to celebrate the New Year?" Qin Ruoyan turned to look at the boy beside her, with a hint of confusion in her tone.

As a student, shouldn’t the long vacations you look forward to most be the winter and summer vacations or the Chinese New Year?

But seeing Zhang Liu's suddenly depressed expression, Qin Ruoyan immediately thought of the other party's family situation.

Maybe the New Year gathering and carnival for him is a kind of torture for him.

She silently stopped talking, and finally whispered: "I'm sorry."

"Don't worry about these." Zhang Liu smiled and shook his head to express that he didn't care about these problems.

Then he also said: "It's a pity. If there was no danger, there would be Laba porridge in the school today, and I can take two portions back to my sister."

"I remember, the year before last and last year, your head teacher, Mr. Zhou, reported the quantity of three copies to you, right!" Speaking of this, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Qin Ruoyan's mouth.

She covered her mouth and chuckled and said, "This matter was spread to our class last year, and Ruoshuang said she would give hers to you."

"Why?" Zhang Liu was a little embarrassed at first, and then asked in confusion.

He was also a little helpless. He didn't expect that Teacher Zhou's preferential treatment to him had spread to other classes.

But then again, why did Qin Ruoshuang give herself such delicious Laba porridge at that time?

"Because Ruoshuang doesn't like to drink Laba porridge..." Qin Ruoyan explained with a smile, and at the same time said: "By the way, why don't we try making a pot of Laba porridge today?"

"I also think Laba porridge is delicious. How to make Laba porridge..." After hearing Qin Ruoyan's words, Zhang Liu scratched his head helplessly.

Then I started thinking about what I should do to make a pot of Laba porridge in this barren mountain.

But after much deliberation, there is no effective solution.

Because the main work today must be to prepare for wild boar hunting, we have to go down and cut down bamboo in order to make handy long weapons.
