Traveling through the world of beasts: I light up my survival skills in the wild

Chapter 64

Basic necessities of life, clothing, food, and transportation are all settled.

For Su Ran, the only thing left now is to live.

In fact, the werewolf's nest is also very good.

It is away from the ground and can be kept dry. One family has one room, and the privacy is also very good, and it is also strong enough.

But these are for werewolves.

For Su Ran, first of all, it is very inconvenient for her to go up and down the bird's nest to get things.

The second most important thing is the problem of heating in winter.

When it rained two days ago, Su Ran could clearly feel the rapid temperature change in the bird's nest.

It was just a rain in spring.

If it is winter, there is no way to light a fire in the bird's nest to keep warm. Although the bird's nest made of branches can not leak, it must be ventilated!
With the extremely low temperature and the biting cold wind, even if Su Ran didn't freeze to death in the cold winter, she might die of illness in the next spring.

In fact, she was really puzzled, how the bare orcs survived the cold winter!
Today Su Ran was going to build a shelter for firewood and some sundries.

The current weather is starting to heat up more and more obviously.A few days ago, the wood that was put on the river beach to dry to be used to build a rain shelter had already dried out.

Su Ran chose the place to build the awning near the woods by the river beach.

Because if it is built directly by the river beach, she will be afraid that when it rains, the river will rise due to excessive rain, and the awning will be flooded.

Then the construction of this canopy is meaningless.

Su Ran set the size of the canopy at about three meters long and two meters wide.At least a dozen thick tree trunks are used for the main part of the shed.

Of the twelve tree trunks, six of them will stand on the ground as pillars supporting the roof, and the other six will be the beams that circle the roof at the top.

But just when she started building the shed, Su Ran encountered a problem.

She has no nails.

Without nails, there is no way to hold wood together.

She thought that making bone nails or stone nails would take time and effort, not to mention that they might not be able to withstand the severe blows of the hammer.

If the shed that was laboriously built collapsed within a few days, Su Ran would feel like she would vomit to death!

After much deliberation, the most suitable method is probably only the traditional mortise and tenon structure.

Of course, Su Ran would never know the exquisite mortise and tenon technique of an old craftsman.

But she remembered that in the house at home when she was a child, there would always be a pillar supporting the beam in the middle of the house.

The top of the pillars is fixed together with the simplest mortise and tenon joint structure in which one pillar is concave and the other is convex.

It's too rare for her to do it now, so you can still try this kind of thing.

Thinking about it, she set her sights on the pile of wood that had been prepared earlier.

She first sawed the six trunks for the bottom pillars to the same length with a saw blade, and then sawed the ten logs for the long side of the top beam and the two logs for the wide side to the same length.

Then she took the charcoal and marked the two tops of each piece of wood from 24 to [-] according to the splicing sequence she conceived.

Then start digging out the shape from the first log.

She first drew the area to be dug out on the first piece of wood, and then started digging with the bone knife.

After the first log was dug out, she first moved the log marked No. [-], put the two logs facing each other, and drew the shape along the position of the first log where the groove was dug out and marked it. , before starting to dig the second log.

The structure dug out of the second log is protruding, but only half the diameter of the first log.

Because the first piece of wood is one of the three pairs of wooden piles standing on the ground, the groove on it must be spliced ​​with the wood of the top beam on each side of the left and right sides at the same time, so the other half of the groove Leave it for the wood on the other side.

And when the trunk of the four corners is dug, the shape of the groove becomes a right-angled shape.

The two sides of the right angle just meet the length and width of the roof.

Busy and busy, from early in the morning until the evening when the sky was full of sunset, Su Ran finally finished the joints of several logs.

Even if the werewolf was around, Su Ran didn't dare to teach him this fine work.

Because even she herself doesn't know what it will look like when she makes it.

So as early as the morning, she rushed the ashes to deal with the few animal skins that had been hoarded in the past few days.After processing the hides, he was told to collect firewood to be stored in the shed.

Lest it ask around around itself.

And the project of building a shed is finally the first step.

She lowered her head to look at her palms which had been worn to the point of three blisters, and fine lines appeared on the tiger's mouth due to friction.As soon as I moved a little, I felt my fingers were stiff, sore and soft, and my blistered palm was also a sharp pain.

Su Ran looked away from her aching hand, took two deep breaths, and suppressed the sour grievances that suddenly surged up in her heart.

But she has already begun to imagine whether her hands will be covered with calluses after a year.

On the edge of the river bank, the ashes had already set fire to their prey.

In the past few days, Su Ran made seafood soup again, and also used the wild vegetables found that day——

Later, she named it Thick Lettuce, and made fried pork with green vegetables and stewed vegetable soup several times.

But obviously, in comparison, Hui still prefers to eat barbecue.

Now, in Hui's recipe, the food's delicacy level should be: Seafood Soup > Roasted Meat > Oil Residue > Raw Meat > Stir-fried Vegetable Meat > Kelp.

And it's not just ash, after Su Ran shared the fried vegetable meat with other orcs, except for those orcs with the characteristics of vegetarian animals, the other orcs behaved the same, right? Love this approach.

It seems that the orcs still prefer the greasy and fragrant meat.

But thinking that besides eating meat, the orcs would always pick some sweet wild fruits to eat, Su Ran no longer worried about their poop.

Today, Huihun came back with a four-eared ox because Su Ran wanted to get some more four-eared ox hides to make more sheets, quilts, and shoes.

Hui Hui was already familiar with the method of barbecue.

From crushing wild fruits and salt powder together in a wooden basin, to making knife marks on the skinned four-eared ox, to applying the juice on the body of the four-eared ox, and then lighting a fire and roasting, the werewolf Su Ran no longer needed to guide her from the side.

Su Ran walked to the edge of the fire, picked up the thermos cup and poured a lid of water to take a sip. The pain in her palm reminded her that the wound had not been treated with medicine, but she was lazy and didn't want to move at all.

She looked at the jumping flames in front of her eyes. The flames hit the werewolf's naked upper body, reflecting the clear lines of chest muscles and lower abdomen.

The werewolf wore a pair of loose beach shorts that Su Ranxin made for it.

At this time, it was grilling meat, and from time to time it raised its head and showed a smiling face at Su Ran. In a trance, it actually gave Su Ran a romantic illusion of being driving and camping in the wild with the handsome little wolf dog...
