Chapter 108 Digging the Foundation
The tree trunk followed Shen Xun funnyly, "You can stick it here," Shen Xun pointed at the center of the open space.
After ten minutes of walking, the originally green roots were shriveled by the scorching sun, and even the leaves began to turn yellow. It was almost dead.
"It's really fragile." Shen Xun dug a hole in the ground with a shovel and motioned for it to dig into it, and the roots dug into the hole.
When it was completely rooted into the ground, Shen Xun placed his palm on the trunk to induce birth. The tree that was originally six to seven meters tall suddenly grew to more than twelve meters high.
The leaves are more lush, and the green leaves block the scorching sun.
Shen Xun pulled out his hand. It was getting dark. He took out the air cushion tent and placed it under the tree. Shen Xun lit the kerosene lamp and hung it on the top of the tent.
This tree is in the alienation stage and has not started eating yet. It is not vicious. If you encounter it in a month, it will probably take some effort.
He took out two ice cubes and an air-conditioning fan from the space, plugged in the battery box, and squatted at the outlet of the air-conditioning fan to blow on it, "Comfortable."
Laifu couldn't get into the air-cushion tent, and his huge head could only lean against the door to catch the cool breeze. Shen Xun took out an air-conditioning fan, filled it with ice cubes, and placed it next to the door in the direction of Laifu.
Sweat was dripping from his forehead. Shen Xun took out two frozen watermelons. It was too hot to eat anything. He might as well eat some fruit and eat later.
Laifu was obviously very hot, but its appetite was not affected at all. After eating the iced watermelon, it kept staring at Shen Xun with its eyes.
Shen Xun took out his rice bowl, which was half animal meat and half fruit.
Porridge was stewed in the space. Shen Xun took out insect repellent powder and began to sprinkle it around the tent. There were the most insects and ants in the ravines.
After spraying toilet water inside and outside the tent, Shen Xun returned to the tent and sat on the lounge chair, with two air-conditioning fans blowing against each other.
The porridge was also cooked. Shen Xun put the porridge in the space freezer to chill and wait until the heat completely dissipated before eating.
Cold bitter melon is used to reduce the heat, and salted duck eggs are added. After a simple meal, I fall asleep on the recliner.
The deck chair is facing the direction of the tent door, so you can respond immediately to any situation.
After waking up in the morning, Shen Xun closed the tent curtain and took a cold shower. The clothes on his back were already wet with sweat.
There was sticky sweat on his neck, and he cut his hair a little shorter. After breakfast, Laifu ran towards the mountain forest and disappeared.
Shen Xun walked around the open space for two hours and visually inspected the site. It was located in a large ravine, so no one would disturb him.
He cleaned up all the surrounding soil and put it into the space, sweat falling from his head one after another.
The lack of water was so serious that Shen Xun wiped the sweat from his forehead, took out the ice water from the space and drank it. When he was about to take a third sip, the ice water had turned into warm water.
He was busy working until noon, but Laifu hadn't come back yet. Shen Xun had a simple lunch and then lay down on the recliner to rest for a while.
The sun was getting stronger at noon. Shen Xun applied ointment on his body to prevent sunburn, and the exposed skin on his cheeks and neck turned red.
Shen Xun applied a thick layer of ointment to his face and neck. He felt a slight pain on his skin, which was probably due to a broken skin.
The green leaves blocked part of the sunlight, and half of the ice cubes in the basin had melted. Shen Xun added another piece inside. The coolness swirled in the air-cushion tent, and Shen Xun closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Shen Xun didn't leave the tent for the whole afternoon, and the temperature rose by two degrees, making it even hotter.
It was almost dinner time when Laifu came back with a two-meter pheasant in his mouth. Laifu placed the pheasant in front of the tent door, and Shen Xun raised his hand to put the pheasant into the space.
Laifu's meal was already prepared in the rice bowl. As the sun set, Shen Xun walked out of the tent wearing insulating clothing. It was too bright during the day, so it seemed that he could only do it at night.
Circle the terrain, and Shen Xun collects the soil within the terrain into the space.
Considering that he wanted to build a basement, Shen Xun directly drilled through the ground more than ten meters deep, and unexpectedly collected more than a dozen pieces of ore.
The area is too big. Even if it is installed directly into the space, it still takes a lot of time. Shen Xun worked for two hours, but he didn't even get half of it out.
Sweat fell into his eyes, and the pain was negligible, but his vision was a bit blurry. Shen Xun raised his hands to wipe away the sweat, and lay on his back in the pit.
Laifu lay on the edge of the pit and looked at Shen Xun inside. Thirteen meters deep, Shen Xun stood up, inserted his dagger into the mud wall, and jumped out of the pit using his strength.
There was dirt on his hands and neck, as well as on his insulating suit. Shen Xun wiped the dirt off his body with ice cubes of water that melted in the basin.
After mixing the milk tea powder and adding ice cubes, Shen Xun lay on the recliner and blew on the air-conditioning fan.
When Laifu saw Shen Xun drinking milk tea, it also wanted to drink it. Later, Shen Xun poured the remaining half into its mouth.
"You want to try everything."
It seems that you can't stay outside for too long during the day. Even if you wear insulating clothing, you can't last too long.
It seems that I can only do it at night. I am simply alone in this ravine and can do whatever I want.
After adding some water to the soil, Shen Xun began to knead the mud. After the mud brick was formed, Shen Xun placed the dagger on the mud brick and pressed it to resemble a dagger.
