Time always slips away quietly without us noticing, but this night is very long for me.
When she woke up the next day, Qin Lan changed into the clothes she had washed yesterday.
"You said no, but now it fits you well."
This dress looks like it could be more suitable for jungle life.
"But this dress is a little small."
Qin Lan turned around awkwardly, and I, with my sharp eyes, immediately saw through the secret. Lan Qi's size was not as big as Qin Lan's, so Qin Lan's chest was restrained.
"Just bear with it. It's your fault for being so big."
I deliberately drew a circle on my chest.
"You rascal."
The morning passed by as we joked around.
I had no intention of hunting the next day. The food we had stored was enough to last us for a while, and there was no need for me to repeat this useless work.
Now that I have so many ingredients, I feel that the space in the cave is not enough, so I decided to make a hole in it and use it only to store food.
This hole was easy to drill. It only took me about half a day to drill a hole that was just right for putting the ingredients in.
After doing this, I started to deal with the *.
The bag contains not only these *, but also several long coils of fuse.
"Are you going to tear them down?"
Qin Lan squatted beside me and watched my hand movements curiously.
"I only dismantled half of it for them, and set the other half outside as a trap."
*It will explode if it sees an open flame. I wouldn't be stupid enough to hide this thing in a cave.
"Ahe, you have to remember that from now on our first priority is defense."
Our little home has been built, and from now on I will never allow anyone to invade our territory.
Our cave is located at two-thirds of the hillside, and above the cave is an extremely steep cliff. Even so, we cannot let our guard down.
Clay, stones, and bamboo are what we need to build fortifications.
I first sharpened one end of the bamboo, and then used stones to nail them into the cliff one by one.
Bamboo is just one of the means I use as a support, and the next step is construction.
I first laid a layer of clay behind the bamboo, and then covered the clay with a layer of rocks. I repeated this process until I built the wall.
Of course, even so, I didn't dare to relax immediately. I found a lot of thorns, pulled them out by the roots while they were still fresh, and then planted them into the clay one by one.
"Why did you suddenly turn the surroundings into this?"
Qin Lan looked at the changes around her and asked me with some confusion.
"For the coming storm."
I trust my sixth sense, but these fortifications will indeed come in handy in the near future.
"Put a bamboo stick in each pit here, and remember to mark these traps."
Qin Lan and I dug traps everywhere within 50 meters in front of the cave, and most of the traps were equipped with hidden weapons.
In order to set the trap, I even caught poisonous snakes. I took the venom from their fangs one by one, just to apply it on the bamboo tips.
"Remember to mark the traps you build."
There are no less than 60 trap pits below, but we left a safe path to walk on.
"What are you going to do?"
Seeing me making a box with bamboo, Qin Lan became interested again.
"This road is reserved for our safe passage, but we cannot rule out the possibility that the enemy will use it to pass through. To be on the safe side, I must set up obstacles here as well.
I prepared the bamboo box specifically for the *. I left three extra * behind. I placed the * in the box and then buried it in the ground. The purpose was just to protect the * from getting wet when it rained. Then I laid a row of bamboo tubes underground. The tubes were connected to each other, and I placed the fuse inside the tubes, extending it all the way into the cave.
"If anything dangerous happens, you can light the fuse directly in the hole."
I just hope that these things can protect Qin Lan well when I am not around. Many days later, I will be glad that everything I have done now has saved Qin Lan's life.
The main fortifications were almost completed, and I set up the last checkpoint in front of the shed. I sharpened the bamboo and made a horizontal row of bamboo tips, and then hid the row of bamboo tips in the grass pile in front of the shed. I found a white vine as a trip rope, and as long as someone triggered the white vine, the bamboo tips would fall down immediately.
It took Qin Lan and I two days to build these fortifications.
"Let's go to the place where the squad leader and his men had the accident that day."
I have been feeling uneasy lately. I have a feeling that the squad leader and Li Yuan are still alive.
There is the sea below the cliff, but the cliff is too high, and there is probably no place to stand even if you go down.
"If we build a raft, maybe we can go down and give it a try,"
I found a few pieces of wood, bamboo and rattan nearby, assembled them together simply, and then tied them together firmly with rattan.
"Is this sturdy?"
Qin Lan looked at this simple bamboo raft with suspicion in her eyes.
"If it's just around here, this bamboo raft should be fine."
I tied a vine to one end of the raft, and then the two of us pushed it off the cliff together.
