Chapter 67 Sloping Roof

Chu Qiao walked deep into the forest to look for suitable materials.

The further inside they went, the wetter the ground became. Various insects kept flying around Chu Qiao, some of which bit her skin directly.

Chu Qiao shook her head to get rid of the bugs, but in less than thirty seconds, the scattered bugs came back again. The timid ones buzzed around Chu Qiao's head, while the bold ones bit her skin directly.

An insect that looked like an ant with two wings landed on the tip of her nose.

Chu Qiao originally thought it was an ordinary bug, but not only did one fall on her face, but one also fell on her cuff.

Chu Qiao narrowed his eyes. Paederus roveus?

She stopped suddenly, without moving her head, and glanced down at the tip of her nose.

The two wings at the back of the insect were hidden under the wings in front. Chu Qiao raised his lower lip and blew it towards the tip of his nose, and the rove beetle flew up with the wind.

Chu Qiao shook his sleeves to drive away the bugs on them.

"These bugs are really ungrateful. Stay away from Master Li Chu."

"That's right, be careful that Master Chu roasts and eats you."

Chu Qiao shook his head and said, "This kind of insect really can't be eaten. It's called a rove beetle and it's poisonous."

"Where it crawls, the skin will appear flakes, dots, and chain-like red spots, accompanied by intense pain and itching. If it comes into contact with a large amount of its venom, the skin will become red, swollen, and blisters will form."

"Rove beetles usually appear in relatively humid places, such as lakeside, ditches, ponds, and rice fields. If you are in these places, you must pay attention to this insect. Because it looks like an ant, it may be overlooked."

"When you encounter one, don't hit it. The venom in its body will flow out and corrode your skin. After driving it away, apply medicine to the area where the insect is staying. That's all that's needed."

"Not really, it's just a bug."

"I think so too. It's probably just like a mosquito bite, it'll leave a bruise."

"The one upstairs, stop talking."

"Master Chu, on your nose."

"Master Chu is here to tell my story. Should I cry or laugh?"

Chu Qiao touched it subconsciously with his hand and shook his head, thinking he was careless.

Although she told everyone to be careful, she didn't take this little thing seriously. As recorded in the book, it was very toxic. It only stayed there for less than 30 seconds before a red raised spot appeared on the tip of her nose.

Chu Qiao felt a soreness at the tip of his nose, and it seemed to be spreading to the sides.

She frowned and looked up at the sky. Dark clouds were gathering and the view on the island was getting darker and darker.

Chu Qiao covered his face more tightly and increased his speed.

He said, "There's no time to fight these bugs. Let's get down to business first."

Chu Qiao looked around carefully.

"The tree trunks for the roof don't need to be too thick. We can choose ones with a diameter of about 7 centimeters. The tree trunks in this forest will be fine."

As he spoke, Chu Qiao took out a stone axe and chopped for an hour, moving more than a dozen branches towards the hammock.

At this time, the water clouds could no longer bear the weight of the raindrops. Raindrops fell on Chu Qiao's clothes in groups of three or two, and then slid down his body.

Chu Qiao quickened his hands and inserted four branches into the four corners around the hammock. When cutting the branches, Chu Qiao deliberately cut them lower than the two trees next to the hammock.

Then fix five tree trunks horizontally on it with ropes.

"The roof Mr. Chu made is so strange."

Chu Qiao explained: "This is called a sloping roof. It is high in the middle and low on both sides. From the side, it is an isosceles triangle structure. This way, a steep slope is formed on both sides. The purpose is to let rainwater flow down the steep slope and then use inertia to rush to a farther place to avoid water accumulation around the shelter.

After Chu Qiao finished speaking, he found more than ten large banana leaves, strung them together with ropes, and covered the top of the house with them. A simple roof was ready.

Although such a roof can effectively drain water, Chu Qiao still marked the location to be on the safe side and dug two trenches on the ground, extending all the way to the low-lying beach.

The stuffy feeling suddenly disappeared, the sun disappeared completely, and the gloom of the morning turned into rain pouring down.

Unlike the gentle drizzle just now, the rain at this moment has made small holes on the beach.

The banana leaves covering Chuqiao's roof were flapping, and the rain flowed down the slope of the roof that Chuqiao had prepared in advance, forming beautiful water curtains on both sides of the shelter.

Part of the water flowing down flows into the ditch and drains into the sand, while part is thrown to a farther place by the roof.

Chu Qiao slowly took out the coconut shells left over from eating the coconut meat and placed them under the flowing water curtain as a reserve of fresh water.

At noon, the rain gradually subsided.

Although Chu Qiao avoided the heavy rain, her body was still wet and sticky.

She took out the disabled flint given by the system from her pocket. The flint was about 7 cm long and sickle-shaped.

She put it in front of the camera, and a few people she knew gave her a thumbs-up in the comments.

"Flint?"

"Master Chu finally got a useful tool."

"My friend, any tool that Master Chu has is very useful."

"Yes, it works. Besides the rope and a 10cm knife, what else is there?"

"Isn't this progress? He knows how to hold the flint."

Netizens have been complaining that Chu Qiao is unreliable.

At this moment, in the beauty category of Coke Live, the little loli after makeup has just started broadcasting, and the live broadcast room is hanging on the cover of the beauty category.

She usually broadcasts in the evening and at noon on Saturdays and Sundays.

Today is Saturday and the show started at noon.

After a general beauty anchor starts broadcasting, the routine procedure is to apply makeup on top of the already applied base, and finally sing and dance to coax gifts from some otaku.

Of course, this is not the case with little Lolita. She is very beautiful even without makeup.

Although she has a cute round face, her three-dimensional bones, big eyes and small mouth give her a cute look, but she also looks a bit domineering from time to time.

The little girl is very proud of her natural good looks, and naturally does not want to be like the fake anchors. She always appears without makeup and teaches everyone the steps of makeup carefully.

In addition to her good looks, the reason why the little Loli after makeup is so popular is not only because she is beautiful and looks good in makeup, but also because she dares to tell the truth. She dares to say things that other anchors dare not say. No matter what brand you are, if your product is not good, you are a grandson.

When Little Loli starts broadcasting, the number of her loyal fans and netizens who come in through recommendations can reach at least 200,000.

However, today, one hour into the broadcast, the number of viewers barely reached 150,000.

The little Lolita's assistant Zhuangzhuang is fat, but his eyes are always shining and his brain is very smart.

At this moment, he didn't wait for the little Lolita's instructions, and hurriedly browsed the homepage, classified the DJ, and looked around for a long time before he found the clue.
