204 How to choose (4)
"It shouldn't be. After all, there are big trees in the circle outside, so I don't plan to cut them down." Xu Yi explained, and she naturally considered this issue.
Now, we cannot cut down all the trees around the camp as before.
The giant beasts in the sky will attack.
If you clear all the trees around you, it means putting yourself in danger.
"This is true, if the outsiders didn't see the chopping down, it would be difficult for them to get off." Lu Ke said with confidence. After all, the flying giant beast didn't look easy to mess with at all.
Although the stilt house is relatively large, they will build roofs. So, the threat in the air will not cause any harm to them for the time being.
Of course, Xu Yi chose to cut off some trees in a small number to broaden his horizons.
Xu Yi saw another piece of log and handed it to Lu Ke, and then used the method from last night to protect himself with hemp rope, and then cut down the three big trees in the middle.
The remaining part of these three trees is about three meters long.
This height is the height of the floor of the stilt building.
Xu Yi felt that as long as it is not able to fly, there should be very few animals that want to jump such high. No matter how high it is, it will be very inconvenient and it is easy to be struck by lightning.
So, he felt that it was already the limit to such a high.
At present, the most difficult thing is to put on the beam.
Such a height is not so easy to operate.
Especially the beams on the top are over six meters long and the distance between the two ends is more than six meters.
But Xu Yi decided to challenge himself. If this stilt building is built, it will be several dozen times more safe than their previous camp. Therefore, it is worth it to put in more energy and time.
After cutting down the three trees in the middle, Xu Yi put on his hunting bow and went out with a machete.
Because he needs to find wood suitable for making beams, and it is best to find plants suitable for use as roofs.
But Xu Yi went out for more than an hour and had no gains at all.
He didn't dare to get too far away, worried that Lu Ke would be attacked, so Xu Yi returned.
When he returned to the camp, Lu Ke was fetching water with the wooden barrel.
"Xu Yi, look, I've made a bucket of water." As he said that, Lu Ke happily lifted a bucket of water.
She drilled two holes with her dagger, and then put them on the bark, which could be used to carry them.
"No, it's very efficient. In this way, after lunch, we can continue to go out to find the right tree." Xu Yi said, "Lu Ke cannot be left alone, so we can only take him with us."
And with her here, the damage of the attack will be increased, and it will be easier to deal with wild beasts.
"Well, I can get another wooden barrel out by night. Xu Yi, let's make one more wooden barrel, which feels much easier than pottery." Lu Ke felt that it was a waste of time before that.
A pottery, especially a large pottery, takes several days to make the embryo. After it is finished, it takes several days to dry it. Moreover, its failure rate is not low.
And in this way, you can get one done in half a day, and I don’t know how much time it can save.
For small items, you can consider pottery.
"Well, these trees are hard on the outside and soft on the inside, and they are indeed suitable for making wooden barrels." Xu Yi nodded. They still needed some containers.
Lunch, it's still stewed.
Because the water flow is relatively slow and the temperature is not high, Xu Yi put the meat at the bottom of the water. I dare not say that if there is too much, it is okay to keep it for a day.
After eating this meal at noon, the remaining meat was less than a pound.
However, it is a good choice to stew some broth online and then jerky.
After lunch, the two of them extinguished the fire and set out to find the trees and got up.
The pottery jar is covered with layers of branches, protecting the honey.
If other animals were stolen, Xu Yi and Lu Ke would have to recognize them.
After all, he could not think of any other way except this.
The two walked along the upstream for three hours, but they did not see the right trees.
However, there are some gains.
The two men beat two rabbits and a wild duck.
There are wild ducks here, and Xu Yi was quite surprised.
The wild duck is relatively small, less than three pounds. If the bones are removed, there will be no succulent.
The two rabbits are quite fat, and each one looks like five or six pounds. After all, they are not a breed, so it would be nice to be so heavy.
Both rabbits were shot by Lu Ke. Her accurate head is getting stronger and faster now, and she reacts very quickly.
Of course, if Xu Yi is using a short crossbow, he can do it too. Compared to a hunting bow, it can shoot directly without having to dig the bow.
"Xu Yi, should we go back?" Lu Ke glanced at the time. If he didn't look back, it might be dark if the two of them went back.
"I've been walking for half an hour and then ran back." Xu Yi was still not very willing and decided to continue exploring a distance.
Lu Ke nodded without refuting Xu Yi.
If you run back, you can indeed arrive before dark.
"Look, what is that?" Xu Yi suddenly pointed ahead and said.
"Bamboo, bamboo?" Lu Ke's eyes couldn't help but lit up. He didn't expect that there would be bamboo in the forest.
"It shouldn't be bamboos, they don't seem to have any bamboo joints." Xu Yi glanced at it and said.
"You can see clearly so far?" Lu Ke looked at Xu Yi in surprise.
Well, my vision has indeed not been enhanced, I only have hearing.
Xu Yi muttered in his heart, thinking that if Lu Ke's hearing, vision and smell were improved, then his sign-in gift package would have no advantage.
"Fortunately, it's not very clear, let's go over and take a look." Xu Yi said, and then accelerated his pace.
After entering, Xu Yi felt that these should not be bamboo.
But after cutting it, he felt that these plants should be bamboo.
No, it is a kind of bamboo without bamboo joints. It is hollow and the fiber structure is no different from that of bamboo.
The height is about seven or eight meters, and the hardness and flexibility are stronger than normal bamboo.
It is a bit regrettable that these unblocked bamboos are limited in number, with only 27 trees in total, three of which are half thin and have not yet been hardened. One piece of the nail can be deducted by buckled.
"Xu Yi, I think in order to save time, I might as well build a camp here. After all, we only have wooden barrels and pottery jars, and there are two pottery jars to move here. However, the unblocked bamboo here needs to be cut back and forth, and it takes a lot of time to go back and forth." Lu Ke gave a suggestion. Although Xu Yi spent a lot of time cutting trees, it would be enough to cut down seven trees if it was here.
