Chapter 303 Snow Leopard: To please the head of the family
Thirty-six days of wilderness survival.
At 3:30 in the morning, Su Bai woke up from bed.
Perhaps due to the pressure brought by Li Jixian, Su Bai woke up extra early today.
Zhao Xinqing was still asleep in her arms. Su Bai did not wake her up. He gently put her on the bed, tucked her in, left the bamboo shed and went to the earthen kiln.
Suddenly, a dark shadow fell silently on Su Bai's shoulder.
Su Bai looked sideways and saw a pair of slightly erect ear feathers and round eagle eyes.
It's a cat.
Su Bai gently stroked the cat's head, took a bamboo stick, and pulled the cement out of the earthen kiln.
This kiln cement was fired before going to bed.
After burning all night, it was extinguished.
Su Bai collected the cement, fired it in another kiln, and went straight to build the wall with the cement.
Barrage:
【……】
[Su Bai really wants Li Ji to get out first...]
[Although he didn’t say a word, I felt that Su Bai was feeling angry...]
[Su Bai (holding a big stick): Are you called Li Jixian? Are you the one who cheated? You will die for the labor and management! (Three hard sticks)]
[I am really convinced... At 3:30 in the morning, you climbed up from the soft Dr. Zhao and built a wall just to send you away. Are you afraid of your opponent? 】
After a while, Zhao Xinqing rubbed her sleepy eyes and opened the door of the bamboo shed and walked out.
Su Bai looked at her and asked:
"Why don't you get some sleep again?"
"It's still early, it's not even four o'clock."
Zhao Xinqing's voice was vague and she muttered:
"It's so cold in bed without you here..."
"Can't sleep anymore..."
"Forget it...I'll get up too."
Barrage:
【……】
[Sweet crit at 3:55 in the morning.]
【"It's so cold in bed"......】
【Ah, I am dead...】
Zhao Xinqing raised the campfire again and set up a turtle shell pot to stew the remaining fish from yesterday.
Then she didn't wash up, climbed up another ladder, and built the wall with Su Bai.
With the combined efforts of the two, by dawn, the batch of cement had been used up.
And the four walls are getting closer and closer to the state of the final product.
Su Bai and Zhao Xinqing did not waste any time while waiting for the cement in the next kiln to be calcined.
The two first went to the river to wash up and check the fishing equipment.
After Su Bai regained his terrifying fishing ability, these micro-fish catches no longer meant much, but the loach was still a good help to the paddy field.
Eels, river eels and water snakes are also rare delicacies, especially cats, which like to eat them very much.
The rest, such as river shrimps and blue crabs, were thrown back into the river by Su Bai and did not eat them.
The two returned to the camp, had fish soup for breakfast, and started making the roof.
The two of them had already chopped enough bamboo for the roof.
Su Bai and Zhao Xinqing worked together to cut the bamboo in the middle.
The inner soft wooden structure is removed, leaving only the outer tough bamboo body.
Su Bai directed Zhao Xinqing to build the main frame, tie it tightly with loop-shaped rope buckles, and then use fish bladder glue to bridge it.
Then the bamboo pieces with their own curvature are arranged front and back, covering the entire roof frame like tiles, and are also tied and fixed with return-shaped rope buckles.
Su Bai pointed to the bamboo pieces arranged front and back and explained:
"This has the same effect as our traditional residential tiles."
"When rainwater falls on it, it will flow along the front bamboo pieces and into the grooves of the reverse bamboo pieces on both sides below."
"Then it flows along the opposite side of the bamboo piece and won't flow into the room."
"When we build the final wall later, we will build the east side slightly higher so that the roof has a sloping arc, so that all rainwater will flow to the west side."
"The ground under our feet faces the river on the west side. It is generally low and has smooth drainage."
"A fireplace is arranged on the east side. This design will not allow rainwater from the roof to extinguish the fire."
After hearing Su Bai's explanation, Danmaku nodded repeatedly:
【Wonderful!】
【This design is perfect.】
[Su Bai has everything in mind... he must have thought about it a long time ago...]
Su Bai nodded and said:
"Yes, this is what I envisioned from the beginning."
"It's April now, and summer will soon arrive, and the temperature will get higher and higher. Such a thin roof will be more breathable and cooler."
"When the temperature drops in autumn and winter, we can put feathers and straw on the roof to maintain indoor warmth."
Listening to Su Bai's plan, Zhao Xinqing's beautiful eyes were filled with brilliance and she said happily:
"marvelous!"
"Su Bai, you are so thoughtful!"
After the roof was completed, the two of them placed it next to the stone house, went to the earth kiln to collect the cement that Su Bai had burned at 3:30, and then fired it in another kiln.
With this kiln of cement, four walls should be enough.
After the shale was consumed in large quantities by the fish ponds and stone houses, it was just enough for the last section of the wall.
By the time the two of them finished building the final wall, Su Bai was tinkering at the top and completed the final height adjustment and structural confirmation. It was already half past one in the afternoon.
At some point, the snow leopard sneaked into the camp and followed Zhao Xinqing, following her step by step, rubbing against her legs from time to time.
The last section of the wall needs a certain amount of time to solidify and cannot be directly put on the roof, otherwise there is a risk of pressure deformation.
Su Bai simply packed up his fishing rods and took Zhao Xinqing, Snow Leopard, and Maomao to the river to fish and eat.
The process was the same as yesterday. Su Bai was in charge of fishing, while Zhao Xinqing was peeling the skin and obtaining the swim bladder with a bamboo blade.
The remaining fish meat was divided among the cats and snow leopards to eat on the spot.
The snow leopard lay on Zhao Xinqing's shoulder, looking at the male two-legged beast next to him, and with a wave of his hand, he grabbed the fat fish from the river.
A pair of green leopard eyes looked at Su Bai, and his expression gradually changed.
From a slight estrangement, it gradually turned into panic.
Even a bit of airplane ear.
The world of beasts is very simple. The more creatures you hunt, the stronger they become.
After watching Su Bai fishing for two consecutive days, in Snow Leopard's view, Su Bai holding a fishing rod was simply extremely powerful!
After a moment of contemplation, Snow Leopard put his claws down from Zhao Xinqing's shoulders and slowly approached Su Bai from behind.
Zhao Xinqing noticed the snow leopard's movements almost immediately and turned to look at the snow leopard.
Su Bai was fishing at this time, so naturally his back was exposed in front of the snow leopard.
There is a certain risk of instinctive attack.
Under Zhao Xinqing's gaze, Snow Leopard nudged behind Su Bai. When he found that Su Bai had no reaction, he cautiously nudged Su Bai's back.
Barrage:
【???】
[Why are you starting to flirt with Su Bai? 】
[I thought she was going to bite it in one bite!]
Zhao Xinqing covered her mouth and chuckled:
"She is trying to please Su Bai."
"She was a little afraid of Su Bai's hunting ability, but she had become familiar with Su Bai during this time, so she did not choose to run away, but tried to get along with Su Bai."
"Once wild beasts get along with each other, they need to determine each other's position in order to maintain a stable relationship."
"Snow Leopard has obviously placed itself in a relatively low position now."
Barrage:
【Hehehehehe...】
[Snow Leopard finally realized who the head of the family was...]
