Section 383
"The short king has finally evolved!"
"Brothers, let's go!"
After a few simple greetings, Lu Yu went straight to the point:
"It's the ninth day."
"Today, my first priority is still to repair the hut."
"But before that, I have to take the fish spear and go to the beach for a walk to continue looking for food."
"After solving the water source and shelter, finding food has become an important part of survival. After all, it's not easy to be hungry. Okay, let's go..."
Nine o'clock in the morning.
After maintaining the fire, Lu Yu was fully armed.
Take the bark pot.
Holding the knife in the left hand and the spear in the right hand, he strode towards the beach.
During this period, the road from the camp to the west coast has been walked at least seven or eight times.
The general route has long been known to Lu Yu.
So, before half an hour, the beach on the west coast appeared in front of him.
The search process is still the same as before.
Turn over the reefs first, and then try your luck in some stranded puddles.
If you are lucky, you may find marine fish.
Search along the way.
Lu Yu said as he walked:
"Because I need to save energy to build a hut, I did not choose to go to the sea to fish."
"Walk on the beach first, and if necessary, it is not too late to go to the sea."
"In fact, it is not a wise move to go to the sea every day. It wastes time and delays things. But now, there is no good idea, so we can only deal with it this way. After the hut is built, if we have time, we will think of a labor-saving fishing method..."
Along the coastline, walking and searching.
When Lu Yu saw the unusual beaches and reefs, he stopped to check.
Almost half an hour passed, although there was no special major discovery.
But it was also a good harvest.
Swimming crabs, mussels, oysters, and shrimps.
Nothing less.
The ingredients are not much.
But it is more than enough to stew a pot of seafood soup.
After a while, the small pot was almost full.
So Lu Yu didn't waste any more time.
He just walked around and picked up some conchs and small scallops.
He returned to the camp before ten o'clock.
On the way back, Lu Yu stopped by the hunting spot.
Today was obviously not as lucky as yesterday.
The five traps did not move.
There was no harvest.
"It seems that today, the luck is not very good. But it doesn't matter, good food is not afraid of late, just wait patiently and check diligently. There will be food, there will be bread..."
"Passive hunting has great uncertainty, and there is nothing we can do about it. When we have time and make hunting tools in the future, we can choose to take the initiative."
"Of course, it is not only the tool that restricts it. If you want to take the initiative to hunt, you must know the environment here very well, so now is not the time."
After checking the hunting spot.
After arriving at the camp, Lu Yu took a short rest and drank some water.
Today is a rare good weather.
There is plenty of sunshine.
It would be a pity not to dry something in such good sunshine.
So, taking advantage of this time, Lu Yu took out the rabbit skin that he had cut last night.
He twisted some straw ropes, inserted them into the four corners of the fur, and fixed them on the stone statue.
"When drying the fur, it must be fixed well."
"Otherwise, the texture of the leather will easily shrink and deform to varying degrees, and it will be difficult to change its shape at that time."
After fixing the rabbit skin with a rope, Lu Yu drank some water, then picked up the stone axe and came to the forest again.
"Yesterday, I built the general framework of the hut."
"Today's task is to build the roof and wooden walls."
"As for the walls, there's nothing much to say, just use wood."
"What needs attention is the roof of the hut."
"Don't fill the materials directly, because that's too troublesome. The correct way is to first build two frames that fit the roof, then fill the materials on the frames, and finally, erect the frames on the roof and connect them with ropes. This is much more convenient."
"As for the materials for the roof, it's the same as before, just use palm and thatch. For the two frames, I decided to use bamboo, which has high toughness and good load-bearing capacity."
The three materials mentioned by Lu Yu are not scarce resources on the island.
Almost readily available.
Especially palm leaves.
In the jungles of the islands in the South Pacific, there are too many palm trees to count.
As long as you want, you can find them with your eyes closed.
Through observation, Lu Yu found that the palm trees on Olidia Island are slightly different from the conventional palm trees.
On the contrary, it is very similar to a palm tree native to the rainforest in northern Australia.
The body is cylindrical and the plant is about 3 feet tall.
The leaves are wide and huge.
There is a long handle in the middle.
It can be easily divided into two along the long handle.
It is definitely a good material for covering the roof.
Soon, they arrived in the forest.
Not long after, Lu Yu picked dozens of palm leaves and a pile of dried white grass.
The so-called white grass is a very common thatch with slender leaves, easy to dry, and good toughness.
It can not only be used to enrich the roof, but also to start fires and keep warm.
Spreading this grass on the ground, even without a campfire, can allow survivors to sleep well.
After picking the raw materials, Lu Yu did not stop for a moment and transported them back to the camp in batches.
He was really busy for a while.
"Huh, the materials for the roof are almost ready. Wait, let's go find bamboo..."
Sitting on the ground and panting, Lu Yu drank water and said slowly:
"When the time comes, use bamboo to build two rectangular frames of about the same size as the roof."
"Then tie the woven palm leaves to the two frames in turn. After tying them, use ropes to tie up the thatch and cover them."
"The workload is still quite large, but time waits for no one. According to my calculations, this good weather may not last for a few days. While there is time now, hurry up and move in as soon as possible..."

The unique climate on the island is very suitable for the growth of bamboo.
Just like palm trees.
Even if you use local materials, it is easy to obtain.
In fact.
Not only around the coastline.
There are also many bamboo forests in the hinterland.
Moreover, compared with the thin bamboo on the shore, the bamboo here is obviously much richer.
There are tall and short ones.
There are thick and thin ones.
You don’t have to spend too much time to find the right type.
Just now.
When picking white grass and palm, Lu Yu had already made a plan.
So he found a bamboo forest and marked it.
This time, it didn’t take much time to reach the destination.
"Bamboo can be said to be a very good building material."
"Not only can it be used to build shelters, but also to make many practical tools. If conditions permit, try to prepare as many as possible."
