Chapter 155 (Monthly Pass for Four People in the Same Room)
After the first "house pillar" was successfully fixed, Shen Gu took a simple "obsidian ax" to chop down the second small tree.
In actual use, this "stone ax" was faster than Shen Gu expected.
After deliberately choosing small trees with thin trunks, his logging technology also accumulated some experience as he continued to cut down trees.
So when he cut down the second small tree, although his physical strength was not as good as when he cut down the first tree, it took less time than when he cut down the first small tree.
After he successfully cut down the second small tree, Su Ziqing and Zhou Yang had completed their "digging" work.
As for Wu Jiayi, she dug the fourth thin hole early to fix the roof pillars.
Moreover, the hole cannot be dug too big, so after Su Ziqing and Zhou Yang dug their own holes, they could not dig it for Wu Jiayi.
The two of them simply started to collect some plant fiber parts suitable for making simple ropes around the camp.
Then use these materials to continue making "simple ropes".
In preparation, after the four pillars of the wooden house are fixed in the dug holes, use these ropes to build the frame of the entire wooden house with thinner wooden sticks between them!
Time passed slowly like this minute by minute.
After Shen Gu successfully cut down the second smaller tree, the four of them worked together to slowly clean up all the branches and leaves on the trunk of this small tree.
In addition, in order to ensure the relative level of the roof structure, Shen Gu also spent extra effort to make the upper part of the small tree exceed the height of the fixed "house pillars" and use a "stone ax" to cut it neatly.
Before cutting them all off this time, Su Ziqing's "book combination" also had another use.
Although you can use a stone ax to make scratches on the upper half of the tree trunk, it is still easier and more accurate to mark it with a carbon pen.
Because the part that is cut off is much thinner than the part that was cut down near the bottom of the small tree.
So Shen Gu didn't have to spend too much effort to "get it all" this time.
When the second "house pillar" was successfully fixed, Su Ziqing suggested that Shen Gu sit down and rest for a while.
Don't use up all your strength cutting down trees at once, because she had read in a book before that if a person enters a state of exhaustion, his recovery will be worse than several "not too tired" rest periods combined. Take more rest time!
“I always feel that even if it’s a wooden house, it’s not as easy as imagined to be completely built before dark!”
After Shen Gu found a place to sit under the shade of a tree near the camp and rest, he wiped the sweat on his forehead with the back of his right hand and looked at the two very lonely "house pillars", feeling naturally. Promise.
Wu Jiayi, who had basically dug the fourth "deep pit" at this time, took advantage of the situation to "fight for Shen Gu's rights" and said:
"If we really can only build one wooden house before dark, I suggest everyone live in it."
"Even for the sake of distinction between men and women, Shen Gu can occupy a quarter of the place and sleep on one side."
"Just get something to do simple blocking with the girls. If you two feel embarrassed to sit next to Shen Gu, I can sleep in the blocking position next to you!"
Speaking of this, Wu Jiayi suddenly realized that if she said this in front of the drone camera, it would inevitably make the audience and her fans feel that she was "too proactive".
So she quickly added a few more words:
"Let me make it clear first that when I do this, I do not care about things that men and women should pay attention to to avoid suspicion."
"I propose this because I believe in Shen Gu's character."
"Secondly, this wooden house is all thanks to Shen Guzai's great efforts in chopping down trees."
"If it's finally time to go to bed at night, we will drive him outside to sleep in the open air on the grounds that men and women are different."
"That's too much!"
After hearing what Wu Jiayi said, Shen Gu, who was sitting under the shade of a tree to rest, felt very happy.
Objectively speaking, my favorable impression of Wu Jiayi has naturally increased a lot!
As for the other two beauties, after looking at each other, they both nodded slightly in agreement.
After all, Wu Jiayi had just successfully won the "right to move in" for Shen Gu, but she deliberately used words with strong derogatory connotations such as "rush" and "excessive".
Zhou Yang felt that if she objected again at this time, it would indeed be very unkind!
As for Su Ziqing's thoughts, she didn't have much objection to "sleeping in the same room" with Shen Gu.
And the reason why she agreed with Teacher Zhou Yang's opinion before was to let Shen Gu sleep in another cabin to be built.
It was entirely because she wanted to maintain what she thought was "the reserve that a girl should have" in front of Shen Gu!
So, after getting the excellent result of "3 unanimous votes".
Shen Gu thought that he could regain enough strength by resting for ten minutes.
Suddenly I felt that my physical strength still needed to be under the shade of a tree to recover for a while!
Not only that.
He also decided in his mind that he should slow down "a little" when cutting down trees later.
Plan the time when the first log cabin is built properly.
It would be best to finish it before dark, without leaving too much time to build the second cabin next to it!
Under the guidance of this "positive thinking", Shen Gu's logging speed slowed down significantly after that.
The two girls, Su Ziqing and Wu Jiayi, were tacitly aware of this situation.
Everyone pretended not to see Shen Gu's intention in doing this.
Only Teacher Zhou Yang, after Shen Gu finally finished cutting down the third small tree, and when the four of them turned it into "house pillars", asked him if he was very tired, and if he was very tired, he could rest a little longer.
While Shen Gu was slowly cutting down the third tree, he had already thought of an excuse to continue delaying the process.
He used the excuse that he was cutting slowly because it was hot and he was thirsty, so he left the "stone ax" at the camp and walked empty-handed in the direction of the stream that Su Ziqing pointed out before, pretending to need to replenish water.
"I will go with you!"
Wu Jiayi immediately spoke out and ran a few steps quickly to catch up with Shen Gu.
"It's a pity that we haven't started eating canned beef yet. If we can spare a few metal cans, we can bring you water."
Seeing that the other two girls showed no sign of going with them, Wu Jiayi turned around and said these words to them.
"If you can carry it, you can just take the picnic pot!"
Although Su Ziqing did not compete with her for the opportunity to go together this time, she pointed at the picnic pot and said calmly.
Wu Jiayi was slightly startled when she heard this, then walked back quickly and took the picnic pot with her.
Then he smiled sweetly with a natural smile on his face and said:
"Even if I can't lift it after filling it with water, isn't there still Shen Gu?"
"If you don't have a jar, it's really not convenient to drink water from such a big pot."
Su Ziqing glanced at Shen Gu who was waiting not far away, nodded to Wu Jiayi with an unchanged expression and said:
"You don't need to be too particular in the wild. When you bring the water back, I can use the broad leaves of the plant as a spoon to drink water."
