"Rest well for a while, once rested we'll start transporting the clay." Xu Yi arranged without feeling tired himself.
The house is about three or four meters from the water source, making it relatively cool.
As for dampness, it can be artificially created by spraying water daily.
Therefore, Xu Yi placed the wood ear tree there, it would also be the edge of the fence.
Xu Yi needs to enclose a large piece of land to plant some wild vegetables and the like.
Growing vegetables, that's a Han people talent, this skill can't be lost.
"Xu Yi, aren't you tired?" Lu Ke saw Xu Yi not resting and directly getting to work.
"It's okay, the things aren't too heavy. Plus, you've shared quite a bit, so I'm naturally not tired. You should rest well, I know my condition. If I really get tired, I will rest." Saying so, Xu Yi patted Lu Ke's forehead, indicating that he was in good shape.
Lu Ke nodded, having been together for so long, she somewhat understood Xu Yi's temperament.
After resting for about ten minutes, Lu Ke went with Xu Yi to transport the clay.
Xu Yi used a round basket for carrying, while Lu Ke used a pot.
After all, there were no other tools available for use.
After transporting back and forth about ten times, the two stopped.
"Xu Yi, give me the stone slab, this clay needs constant beating to make the soil more uniform." Lu Ke said, wiping sweat from her arm.
Originally, using a mixer would be best, but since there's no such tool now, pounding is the only alternative. This not only makes the clay uniform but also controls its hardness.
Next, Xu Yi continued carving his dagger while Lu Ke pounded the clay.
Currently, Lu Ke wanted to make a few bowls first, so the amount of clay used wasn't much.
Xu Yi observed, it was much like when he played with mud as a child.
Growing up in the countryside, Xu Yi didn't have many toys, so he played with mud.
Speaking of which, Xu Yi also made mud bowls and clay figures.
After pounding the clay in hand for about half an hour, Lu Ke started rolling small round strips and stacking them layer by layer, slowly forming a bowl shape.
In fact, he's still missing a turntable, which would make the pulled embryo rounder.
But given the limited conditions, Lu Ke had to make do.
As long as the seal is good enough to prevent cracks, it's sufficient.
Xu Yi watched silently, memorizing it.
His dagger was quickly carved, looking just like a real dagger, with every detail present.
Unfortunately, it was made of wood.
One must say, the wood Xu Yi chopped was pretty good, moderately hard and soft.
"This is for you, make a mold out of it, and after baking it into pottery, I'll find a way to melt metal." Xu Yi said, handing the wooden dagger to Lu Ke.
Next, Xu Yi began sawing the wood, once sawn a one-and-a-half meter piece, he inserted it into the dug trench.
The leftover pieces that weren't long enough were cut into small lengths to be used as firewood.
After all, the daily need for firewood is quite large now, Xu Yi must stockpile more.
Not only does he need to stockpile food, but also firewood.
If it weren't for the lack of metal, Xu Yi would want to forge an axe himself for chopping and splitting wood.
By dinnertime, Lu Ke had made 4 small bowls and 5 large bowls.
These bowls can't be sun-dried, they need to be air-dried before being placed in the kiln for firing.
"Let's call it a day, I should start cooking dinner." Lu Ke stretched, feeling fulfilled.
Fulfilling indeed, every day was busy, with hardly any time to idle.
"Xu Yi, have a break, I'm going to start cooking dinner." Lu Ke placed the items under the eaves, where they wouldn't be sun-dried, but the temperature was high enough to air-dry the pottery embryo in a day.
"It's okay, I'll get more done before it gets dark, the fence is already four to five meters long." Xu Yi said, wiping the sweat from his forehead and continued sawing.
Lu Ke knew the fence meant safety to them, so she said nothing further, silently picked up the crossbow, and went to fetch water.
She always took the crossbow with her, not because Xu Yi told her to, but her own understanding.
After all, this is the wilderness, no one can guarantee safety.
Approaching the water, Lu Ke suddenly screamed.
Without a word, Xu Yi grabbed the Engineer Shovel and rushed out.
"What happened?" Xu Yi found Lu Ke aiming hard with the crossbow and spotted a snake as thick as a wrist by the water.
The snake seemed unwilling to leave, still coiling there.
"Move back and get the Umbrella Tree Gun." Xu Yi instructed, gripping the Engineer Shovel tighter.
A served-up delicacy, how could it not be taken?
A wrist-thick snake, over 2 meters long, weighing at least twenty pounds.
Catch it, and it would be enough for two or three days.
Lu Ke bit her pale lips; she was most afraid of snakes.
With Xu Yi's presence, she calmed somewhat, then retreated a few steps, turned, and ran back.
Quickly, she handed both guns to Xu Yi.
"Head back to the house, I'll handle it, tonight we'll have snake stew." Xu Yi smiled slightly at Lu Ke, soothing her with his smile.
"You, you be careful." Lu Ke had some confidence in Xu Yi's abilities, after all, Xu Yi had shot rabbits and large birds before.
Although she feared snakes, she knew they have a weak spot.
"Don't worry, I've got this." Xu Yi smiled confidently, sticking one of the guns into the ground.
Hearing Lu Ke's footsteps leave, Xu Yi took a deep breath.
Stealth!
Like activating a skill, Xu Yi suddenly blended with the surroundings as if merged into one.
He crouched, gripping a gun.
Suddenly, Xu Yi moved.
Stab!
The spear pierced straight through the snake's head, stabbing into the ground.
Xu Yi moved forward, chopping with his Engineer Shovel.
The snake's head was severed by Xu Yi in one swift motion, the speed astonishing.
"Clap, Clap, Clap!"
"Beautiful!"
In the live broadcast room, Sun Bei stood up and applauded.
If he faced the snake himself, he couldn't have killed it as perfectly as Xu Yi.
"I dare say Xu Yi is a hunter, a very skilled hunter. Just now he seemed to merge with his surroundings, which only very experienced hunters can achieve." Sun Bei had learned from several veteran hunters; they could disappear into the environment like Xu Yi, lurking like a hunting leopard.
When you're not paying attention, a Thunderous Strike.
"This Xu Yi is amazing; he killed a snake so flawlessly. Such a person is naturally suited to survive in the jungle, right?" Liu Yi watched Xu Yi, thinking he looked incredibly cool.
"At first, I thought Xu Yi had little hope, but now he seems to have a real chance of challenging the 500 days." Dr. Glasses adjusted his glasses and said happily.
The more seed players, the better.
