The eleventh day of survival on a desert island, sunny day.
Today, Yuhai got up very early and exercised early in the morning. He also asked the tadpoles to run and practice walking on both feet.
He exercised too hard yesterday and his whole body is sore this morning. However, as long as he keeps exercising, the muscle soreness will gradually improve.
Since the shelter still needed to be improved today, Yuhai just jogged for an hour and then stopped exercising. He picked up some rags and rainproof plastic again, and sewed together a few huge pieces of rainproof plastic and rags to cap the tree trunk. The issue of shelter is the top priority now. He doesn't want to be like a dog in the rain. This is the motivation for him to cap the tree trunk as soon as possible.
The rest of the running exercise turned into him supervising the tadpoles and mending the rainproof plastic.
However, they didn’t practice too hard today. Since they didn’t have any food reserves, the green caterpillar caught by the tadpoles yesterday became yesterday’s dinner.
How could they catch the green caterpillars if they were tired of mosquito-repellent tadpoles this morning?
The mosquito-repellent tadpole only ran for an extra hour before Yuhai picked it up and put it in a bucket to escape the heat. After the mosquito-repellent tadpole regained some strength, they went out to look for green caterpillars.
Taking advantage of the hour just now, he also mended the rainproof plastic and rags, took the ladder and pan, and went to cap the tree trunk.
The nails I used are the same ones I used yesterday. It doesn’t take many nails to cap the trunk.
After setting up the ladder, he first covered the top of the tree trunk with two layers of rags, leaving a large hole in the middle of each layer of rags, which was equivalent to a skylight. It could provide some lighting to the tree hole during the day, so that staying in the hole would not be like night. p>
After covering it with a rag, he nailed the rag to the trunk. In order to prevent the nails from penetrating the rag, he also needed a wooden board to cushion it.
After he stretched the rag and fixed it on the trunk, he then covered it with rainproof plastic and repeated the same process again, stretching everything straight and nailing it to the trunk.
The rainproof plastic is three-layered and can be covered if water leaks.
However, when he smoothed the tree trunk before, he left a sloping angle to protect it from rain.
When it rains, the rainwater will flow away along the inclined angle of the top, so there will be no accumulation of water on the roof.
The trunk of the tree facing the sea should be shorter, and the trunk of the tree facing the forest should be taller.
His door is also prepared to be opened on the side facing the forest, so that it is easier to camouflage.
Compared to simple elves who would visit his new home, he is more afraid of strangers with unknown origins.
As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, your shoes will not get wet.
No one has landed on the island for so many days. He is not sure whether someone will land on the island in the future. Maybe he will land on the other side of the island.
He hoped that the person who landed on the island was a kind person and would take him away from the uninhabited island, so he still believed in himself more.
Again, he doesn't believe anyone except his elf companions.
After nailing the rainproof plastic, he came to the tree trunk facing the forest. He stood next to the tree trunk, compared the height of his chest, and made a mark on the trunk.
This is the height of his new door, which is only 1.45 meters.
After that, he started hammering nails and punching holes one by one on the drawn inverted U-shaped door frame until the door frame was filled with holes.
He only hit the door frame halfway, but he lost strength and his arms were so sore that he couldn't lift them up.
He gave up the work of opening the door in the morning, returned to the temporary shelter, and asked the tadpoles to go out to find food.
"Mosquito-repellent tadpole, don't lie down, go find lunch..."
When Yuhai came back, he saw mosquito-repellent tadpoles floating in the bucket. He didn't know whether he was sleeping or in a daze.
"Yo yo..."
Hearing Ukai's call, the tadpole immediately jumped out of the bucket and followed Ukai around the edge of the jungle looking for green caterpillars.
They didn't go far this time, and they found green caterpillars as soon as they went out.
"Tadpoles, water guns, hypnosis," Yuhai spoke very briefly, and he didn't have much energy. In fact, running and exercising in the morning, capping the tree trunk, and opening the door to the tree trunk all consumed too much energy. He is very hungry now.
"Hey," the mosquito-repellent tadpole immediately stepped forward, spit out a water gun at the green caterpillar that was eating leaves on the branch, and knocked the green caterpillar down.
"Catch up, don't let it run away," Ukai saw the green caterpillar falling into the grass, and hurriedly urged the tadpole to catch up.
"Yo yo," the mosquito-repellent tadpole saw the green caterpillar disappear, and immediately entered the grass, raised its tail and swiped at it.
Yuhai, who was waiting outside the grass, only heard a snapping sound, and the mosquito-repellent tadpole dragged a smelly green caterpillar out of the grass without even using hypnosis.
Seeing the green caterpillar, Yukai didn't waste any time. He threw the ball to conquer the green caterpillar. When he picked up the elf ball, he found that the potential was as mediocre as ever, with only 23% potential.
"Let's go back, mosquito-repellent tadpole," Yuhai dragged his tired body and called for mosquito-repellent tadpole to follow.
After returning to the temporary shelter, he briefly handled the green caterpillars and cooked them in a stew pot.
He asked the mosquito-repellent tadpole to pay attention to the ignition, and he fell asleep leaning against the tree trunk. He was really tired and wanted to rest for a while, and then asked the mosquito-repellent tadpole to wake him up after the water boiled.
……
I don’t know how much time passed, but Yuhai vaguely heard the screams of mosquito-repellent tadpoles, and then he slowly opened his slightly confused eyes and saw the green caterpillar meat rolling in the stew pot.
"Yo yo, yo yo," the mosquito-repellent tadpole also retracted its pink tongue when it saw Yu Hai woke up.
"Is it cooked? Wait for me to see," Yuhai came to the fire and poked the green caterpillar meat with chopsticks. After feeling a little soft, he lifted the stew pot off the fire.
After dividing the green caterpillar meat and the broth, he took a big mouthful.
Next, he finished the green caterpillar meat and broth in a few mouthfuls, stood up, patted his trouser legs, and shouted to the dumbfounded mosquito-repellent tadpole: "Mosquito-repellent tadpole, come over and help me after you finish eating. We will have a new home soon."
..."
In order to move into a new home as soon as possible, he worked hard, no matter how tired he was, he had to stay in the liver shelter.
"Yo yo, yo yo," the mosquito-repellent tadpole nodded and agreed to the request for help, but it looked at Ukai's leaving figure and then looked at the green caterpillar meat placed on the leaves. When would its job come back? In the days when there are no pans and rice bowls, it really misses its own bowls.
When Yuhai came to the trunk of the giant tree, he continued his work of opening the door. The workload of opening the door was only half that, and he was not as tired as before.
It didn't take long for him to drill a small hole in the door, just waiting for the mosquito tadpoles to arrive.
"Yo yo, yo yo..."
He lay on the grass and waited for a while, and the mosquito-repellent tadpoles also came over. He explained to the mosquito-repellent tadpoles what the mosquito-repellent tadpoles needed to do, "Mosquito-repellent tadpoles, do you see these little holes?"
"Yo yo," Mosquito-repellent tadpole looked closer and noticed the small hole Yuhai made in the tree trunk.
"These are the small holes. Attack them all with the water gun..."
"Yo?" When the mosquito-repellent tadpole heard this outrageous request, the whole tadpole was shocked.
I'm afraid my trainer hasn't recovered from his fever yet, so he's talking nonsense!
