Chapter 59 The Trap Completed

The two of them ate and chatted, and soon they ate all the fungus and Houttuynia cordata.

"It would be great if I had vegetables often." Lu Ke chewed the last black fungus in his mouth and said with some anticipation.

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

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

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

"Okay, in two days, I will first figure out the camp matters in these two days." Xu Yi agreed to Lu Ke's proposal, after all, it is indeed necessary to explore the surroundings.

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

"If you do something about the earth kiln, I will insert the trap barbs into the soil." Xu Yi said, it was not suitable for work just after eating.

"I understand." Lu Ke cleaned up the dishes and prepared to rest for more than ten minutes before starting the earthen kiln.

After almost the rest, Xu Yi held the wooden stick that had been cut before and started installing the barb.

Xu Yi inserted one by one into the soil, forming sharp thorns. This is a relatively complete trap.

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

Through a fence, the two of them were busy with their own affairs.

The barbs arranged by Xu Yi are not dense. After all, this is mainly used for defense, not for hunting.

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

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

He carried bundles of thatch back and spread them onto the trap.

"Done!"

Xu Yi looked at the trap that had been arranged and then smiled with relief.

At present, the camp's defense has been improved a little.

Xu Yi was not so worried when he encountered a wolf pack.

It was already past 5 o'clock when Xu Yi returned to the yard.

Lu Ke was still working on clay bricks, his head covered in sweat.

"You have a rest, I'll do it." Xu Yi walked over and said.

Lu Ke nodded because she saw Xu Yi in good condition and should not 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 envied the girl who often exercised and the girl who could run marathons. Because her health was not good, she could not perform vigorous exercise at all.

After nine days of this world, she finally realized what it means to sweat and rain.

"It's not easy to sweat, but there are many places to do physical work in the future." Xu Yi grinned.

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

"Isn't this wrong?" Xu Yi kept stirring the soil in the mud pit to make them even.

"Well, that's fine." Lu Ke nodded. After all, this is not so difficult and easy to master.

After more than ten minutes, Lu Ke asked Xu Yi to make out the soil in the mud pit. Then he shoveled the dry soil into the mud pit, and after adding a certain amount of water, he could stir it up.

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

This job is indeed not that easy, and you have to use your whole body to force it. No wonder Lu Ke makes him sweat all over.

If you stir it up once, you can make 5 mud bricks, and the speed is pretty good.

"Xu Yi, stop doing it now. Let's take a break and prepare for dinner." Lu Ke glanced at the boiling water that began to boil in the pot, turned his head and said to Xu Yi.

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

"Okay, isn't there much food in the house?" Xu Yi stopped and then made out the soil in the mud pit.

"Well, I should be able to hold on for three more days." Lu Ke had originally planned to say to Xu Yi, but he didn't expect Xu Yi to mention it himself.

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

Three days, it sounds quite affordable.

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

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

There are no iron arrows or bone arrows. If you rely solely on the wood itself, you must find wood with high density and hardness, so that you can ensure that the bow and arrow can penetrate the animal's fur and shoot into the muscles.

If you have good luck, you can do it in one day.

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

Not only bows and arrows, but many traps are also needed.

After all, Xu Yi was still thinking about the wolf pack.

Tomorrow, I'd better find suitable wood first.

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

There was only fish fillet soup at night, and Lu Ke did not continue to cook Houttuynia cordata.

After dinner, the two of them chatted for a while and then continued to make mud bricks.

"Aowoo!"

Suddenly, a wolf howl sounded.

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

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

When Lu Ke heard it carefully, he could indeed hear some animal screams.

"Don't worry, we dug a trap. The wolf pack is not a cat, so we can't do anything to us." Xu Yi comforted Lu Ke.

What he said is that canines are no more than felines, and there is no way to go with fences.

It’s hard to say about the cat family, after all, they can even climb trees. The fence more than one meter high can hardly stop them.

Fortunately, cats are almost alone. Even if they are not alone, almost all the hunters are female, and few of them come out in pairs.

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

Xu Yi continued to work on the clay without any effect.

Perhaps Xu Yi's calmness infected Lu Ke, and it also made her nervous gradually calm down.

"Xu Yi, I have made so many mud bricks today, which should be enough." Lu Ke looked at the rows of mud bricks lined up under the eaves and said to Xu Yi.

"You go and take a shower first, I'll make a little more. When there are too many mud bricks, we can also make a serious stove, so you don't have to squat and make meals all the time." Xu Yi said his plans.
