Chapter 22 Catch the bullfrog and make a gravel path
With such a small card, she is living a good life now. She does not need to use this lucky card for the time being, but it is easy to lose it when she carries it with her. She yawned, and Shi Miao touched the tears in the corner of her eyes and continued:
"Then can you save it for me temporarily?"

"It's ok, master. As long as it is something in our mall, you can put it in my place for temporary storage. When the master wants to use it later, just meditate three times for the item you need to use and it will appear in your hand."

Saying that, the lucky card in Shi Miao's hand disappeared again.

Listening to the continuous sound of rain outside the house, sleepiness came to my mind again, Shi Miao only woke up for a few minutes before falling asleep again.

The next day.

The rain still has no tendency to stop. The three of Shi Miao rested for an afternoon yesterday and slept for another night. Their spirits are obviously much better today.

The rain for half a day and night made a lot of rainwater enter the shed.

The ground outside became very muddy.

When Gu Tianjiao and Gu Ao gathered in Shi Miao's room again, the shoes were covered with a thick layer of mud.

"Ah Choo! I thought the rain was good yesterday, so I can take a good rest. Today, I feel so uncomfortable when I walk, and I suddenly feel that it doesn't smell good."

Gu Tianjiao couldn't help but sneezed and frowned.

Although her and her brother's shoes are waterproof, they are not only dirty but also cold after being covered with a layer of mud.

They can only take off their shoes and put them next to the fire to roast.

"Well, the rain came so suddenly that I didn't prepare for it. After the rain stops, let's go outside to collect some small stones and come back to make a gravel road. It will be better to walk afterward."

Shi Miao looked at the rain outside the door and said softly.

Because of the heavy rain, the humidity in the bamboo house was a bit heavy, so for breakfast this morning, at Gu Ao's suggestion, I boiled a pot of light wild vegetable soup with herbs and wild ginger to keep out the cold.

Afterwards, because it was inconvenient to use a bamboo basket, Gu Tianjiao went out and carried a few bamboos and vines about two meters from the shed to Shimiao's small bamboo house.

Gu Tianjiao was too strong, and was arranged to split the bamboo into strips about one finger wide, and then scraped off the green and knots of the bamboo, breaking the surface of the inner wall.

Gu Ao, on the other hand, learned to weave bamboo baskets with Shi Miao.

Gu Ao wove the bamboo strips alternately with fifteen horizontal and vertical fifteen one horizontal and one strong according to Shi Miao's appearance.After weaving the bottom, there are nearly one-meter-long bamboo strips left outside, bent upwards and temporarily fixed with vines, and then use bamboo strips to pass through the vertical bamboo strips one by one horizontally, slowly thinking about the bamboo strips. Baskets are woven.

Afterwards, a bamboo strip is selected and bent to 90 degrees, and it is placed by the fire to heat it up. After cooling and shaping, the strip is installed on the woven bamboo basket.Afterwards, two vines were tied on the strips, and the bamboo basket was fully formed.

After learning the bamboo baskets, Gu Ao followed Shi Miao to learn how to make fish baskets under similar steps, and the speed of his men was much faster.

For lunch, under Gu Tianjiao's coquetry, the three chose roasted rabbit meat.

In the afternoon, the rain continued.

The bamboo had been used up, and the three of them had nothing to do. After playing backgammon on the ground for a while, they went back to their respective rooms to sleep after being bored.

Her physical fitness has been strengthened, and Shi Miao is not so tired anymore. She has nothing to do, so she took out the tung oil fruit she picked yesterday from the bamboo house, cut open the fruit with a dagger, and patiently picked up the tung oil seeds one by one. Stripped out.After that, she set up a pot and stir-fried the tung oil seeds. The high temperature can destroy the internal structure of the tung oil seeds and reduce the adsorption force to the oil paper.When the tung oil seeds exploded in the pot, the pungent smell of keto acid soon spread in the room. Seeing that the time was almost up, Shi Miao packed the sizzling tung oil seeds.

She plans to wait for the rain to stop to build a simple oil extraction device, so that the oil from the tung oil seeds can be squeezed out to wash the wooden basin and the bathtub that she plans to make in the future.

And... If you want to eat fried vegetables, you also need an oil extraction device.

Fortunately, the rain stopped early the next morning.

The sun rose as promised.

When Shi Miao opened the door of the bamboo house, there were still a few small raindrops falling from the roof of the bamboo house.

Although the rainwater has almost penetrated, there are still many small puddles, and the ground is still muddy.

It was not until noon, after a whole morning of sunshine, that the ground was barely dry, and people walking on it would not sink into a mud pit.

Because the three people gathered in one room for dinner in the past two days, there were many footprints sunken about ten centimeters in front of the doors of the three bamboo houses.

Shi Miao picked up the shovel and began to fill up these small holes little by little.

Gu Tianjiao and Gu Ao volunteered to go out to pick up small stones nearby.

Walking under the rain for the past two days is really uncomfortable, and no one is sure when it will rain next time, but the brothers and sisters of the Gu family are beaten to death and do not want to suffer again.

After about an hour, the siblings came back excitedly.

"Shi Miao, guess what we found when we went out to pick up rocks? We went out to the south and encountered many small puddles. Gu Ao found several frogs bigger than my palm near the puddles. There is also a lot of meat, so I caught five of them, and you can see if you can eat them?"

With that said, Gu Tianjiao stretched out her hand holding the frog's leg from behind, and placed her harvest in front of Shi Miao's eyes.

"Well, it is indeed a big harvest. This is a bullfrog, which can be eaten. There are many ways to eat bullfrogs, but they are still the best when stir-fried. It's just a pity that we haven't found anything that can squeeze out cooking oil for the time being. Used to boil or bake."

Speaking of frying, Shi Miao couldn't help but sighed helplessly.

Although there is meat to eat every day these days, it is either boiled or roasted, and there are too few condiments available, and I haven't used the staple food for a long time, so I will miss it somewhat.

It seems that sooner or later, an oil pressing device will be built. Fortunately, there is a strong person like Gu Tianjiao, so it doesn't take much effort to make a good tool to squeeze oil.

"It's good if you can eat it, I don't choose how to do it!"

Gu Tianjiao's eyes lit up instantly.

For her, the food she ate these days is the best food she has ever eaten in her life, and she can also eat a different kind of meat every day. On such a beautiful day, even if she can't eat stir-fried vegetables, she doesn't feel regretful at all. .

"Well, let's find a rope and hang them under the shed. I see that you have picked up a lot of stones, so let's make a gravel road before the soil is completely solidified."

Seeing that the bamboo basket carried by the two of them was full of stones, Shi Miao chuckled lightly.

"it is good!"

Gu Tianjiao and her brother nodded in agreement.

Shi Miao used the tip of the spear to draw a curved path from the front of the three-person house and from the small shed to the door of the bamboo house, and then the three of them poured out the stones, and poured the stones in along the line Shi Miao drew.

After that, Gu Ao, who was the weakest, stepped the stones into the mud one by one lightly, and the simple stone road was ready.

Taking advantage of this, just to be on the safe side, Shi Miao chopped the remaining half of the wood used to make wooden basins two days ago into more than [-] finger-long wooden piers, and stepped on the wooden piers every one meter on the gravel road. down one.

In this way, a small path was formed that would not affect their going out in the future regardless of heavy rain or light rain.

**
In the major live broadcast rooms of Shuilanxing, there were voices of grief.

[How can this rain last for so long, woo woo woo... I just saw that more than 300 live broadcast rooms were blacked out, and many people were killed by this rain. Our hope of living on another planet is gone A small half was shattered. 】

[Yeah, they finally endured for such a long time, but in the end they were forced to collapse because of the heavy rain. I saw a few people collapsed weakly and I was about to die of depression. 】

[Before I saw that many people did not live very well in Xinxing, but at any rate, everyone can find something to eat, and occasionally eat some meat. I have been greedy for two days. change? 】
