Live Strong in the Wilderness-Chapter 46: Want to Make Clothes

"Lunch time!" Lu Ke, after serving the fish slices, called Xu Yi to eat.

Having rested for a dozen minutes, Xu Yi stood up and took his big bowl.

The temperature was just right, and he took a sip of the soup without saying a word.

Delicious!

His stomach was quite hungry, enjoying the explosion of flavors from the fish slices.

Though it had been dried in the sun, once cooked, it didn’t affect the taste or texture at all.

Since there was no salt to add, it preserved the fish’s original flavor.

Soon, the big bowl of fish slices was in Xu Yi’s stomach.

"Xu Yi, there’s still some in the pot, eat a bit more, today’s work is all physical labor." Lu Ke brought over the pot, there was still a quarter of the fish left.

Xu Yi didn’t hold back, he was really hungry today.

Seeing Xu Yi eating happily, Lu Ke couldn’t help but smile.

"Oh no, our Loli Ke has fallen."

"Tsk tsk, that look, that smile, just like my girlfriend looking at me. But back then, she was just secretly in love with me."

"Secretly in love? Nah, that’s the chef’s smile. I see this smile when customers finish the food I cooked."

"I really wish I could have lunch with Loli Ke, that would definitely save a lot of money on meals."

"I wonder what alien fish taste like. Without salt, they still eat it so tastily."

"Surely it will be open to ordinary people in the future, we’ll have a chance to travel to alien planets."

"I bet that’s the organizers’ goal, moving to another planet. It’s a pre-promotion for a multinational real estate project, now many wealthy people are inquiring about moving to alien planets."

"No matter what others think, I’m definitely going to move to that planet. The environment must be great, and people will live longer."

The discussion about moving in the live stream hadn’t ended, but Xu Yi and Lu Ke had finished their lunch.

Now washing dishes has become easier, they could simply rinse them.

The dirty water will flow out along the trench Xu Yi dug.

After lunch, Xu Yi only rested for half an hour and then started digging traps again.

As for Lu Ke, Xu Yi didn’t assign any work to her.

She sat down under the hut, starting to process the umbrella tree bark.

The umbrella tree bark was quite thick, which was due to several layers. Now, she was peeling the bark layer by layer.

This was a meticulous task, which she could complete with her dagger.

Such work could only be done in the daylight when there was ample light. At night, with the firelight, it would be too dark.

She wanted to make a piece of clothing for Xu Yi so his skin wouldn’t get sunburned, and it wouldn’t make people feel sorry for him.

No matter what Lu Ke was busy with, Xu Yi didn’t bother her.

Having spent seven days together in the wilderness, he naturally knew Lu Ke wasn’t someone who would lazily slack off. She definitely had her plans.

After all, the earth kiln still lacked quite a few bricks.

Moreover, there were still many things that needed weaving.

These tasks were enough to keep Lu Ke busy for several days.

...

"Cousin, do you really want to turn this piece of wood into a barrel?"

In front of the shelter, Wang Jin looked at Lu Yao and couldn’t help asking.

This big piece of wood was something Lu Yao had spent half a day sawing out.

Before, she didn’t know what Lu Yao planned to use it for. After all, they were still lacking food now; they couldn’t keep eating grilled fish every meal, could they?

That would cause a lot of internal heat, eating for a few days would stop bowel movements.

Wang Jin did not want to experience that feeling.

As a result, Lu Yao said she was going to carve out a water bucket.

Come on, using a machete to carve a bucket, instead of a chisel, how much time would that waste?

"You can slowly burn it out with charcoal, after all, time is something we don’t lack the most, spending a few days making it is also possible." Lu Yao used her machete to scoop some charcoal onto it, forming a big circle.

"Huh, can you really do that?" Wang Jin was stunned, not expecting the method Lu Yao used to be completely different from what she imagined.

"Otherwise, using a machete, when would it be finished? It wastes time." Lu Yao rolled her eyes, then took a tougher vine, splitting it in half with her machete.

"Sis, you’re amazing, truly worthy of being called a warrior queen." Stars shone in Wang Jin’s eyes as she gave Lu Yao a thumbs up.

"Alright, start weaving now, we need two backpacks, make your own." Lu Yao split the vine for weaving the backpack.

"Yes, my Officer Lu." Wang Jin gave a military salute, saying it seriously.

Lu Yao curled her lips, suppressing the impulse to correct the military salute, continuing to strip the vines.

Their camp had already been set up, albeit smaller in scale compared to Xu Yi’s.

The surroundings were held together by thorns to enclose the camp, preventing quite a few animals from coming in to attack.

Moreover, she set up many traps, hoping animals would come to disturb them.

As a result, none did, leaving Lu Yao somewhat disappointed.

Having eaten grilled fish for several days, she was getting a bit tired of it.

And the fish had many bones, eating them was time-consuming.

She most wished to encounter that wolf pack, after all, one wolf has fifty or sixty pounds of meat, which could last for several days.

With stored food, she could remodel her camp and build a sturdy wooden house. That way, except for wild boars and black bears, other creatures wouldn’t be able to do much.

Overall, they were considered a good group of challengers.

Their fan base was not small, and it was growing, becoming the second-ranked live stream room.

As for the first place, it was still Ivica and her brother Lei Jie’s live stream room.

Lei Jie had already found a new camp, a bamboo grove with a nearby mountain spring, a very ideal location.

Spending a few days, Lei Jie had already set up a small bamboo house.

Ivica naturally contributed a lot of effort, her fans couldn’t help but be impressed.

Originally, they thought Ivica’s survival skills were pretty strong, and she wasn’t weak.

They thought she was a delicate little girl.

The bamboo house outside Lei Jie’s place also had a fence, seeming even sturdier than Xu Yi’s.

In addition, Lei Jie made two bamboo bows as well as over a dozen spears.

The bamboo forest had many bamboo rats, causing quite a bit of trouble for Lei Jie.

One could say, they were living quite comfortably, in no way inferior to Xu Yi and his group.

The only dissatisfaction Lei Jie had was the distance to the seaside, needing two hours to get there at the fastest speed.

For Ivica, it would take at least half an hour more.

Spending five hours going back and forth between the seaside and the camp delayed quite a few things.

After all, the current stage couldn’t do without salt.
