Chapter 57 Day 9 starts with a busy day (seeking follow-up reading)



After a while, Jiang Ye heard no sound, so he fell asleep unknowingly.

Fortunately, nothing happened during the night.

Many people were worried about Jiang Ye last night, especially Jiang Ye's parents, so they stayed up all night.

They didn't go to rest until dawn and Jiang Ye woke up.

During the day, it is much easier to deal with any situation that arises.

Jiang Ye didn't go too far today. At most, he went to the explosion area to collect some firewood for making charcoal.

Jiang Ye would not leave the camp too far until his weapons were forged.

After getting up, Jiang Ye immediately checked his surroundings. After making sure there was no danger, he put down the ladder and returned to the ground.

After returning to the ground, Jiang Ye went to the stream and retrieved the porcupine meat in a large basket.

There is not much meat left, we must eat it all today, otherwise it will go bad.

By the way, take the remaining bones back to make soup to prevent them from spoiling.

After eating it, all that’s left is dried fish and smoked porcupine meat for tomorrow.

But today is the ninth day, which means that tomorrow Jiang Ye will get a new chance to draw a lottery.

If he draws a good thing, it will be very helpful for his future survival.

Having already endured eight days, Jiang Ye felt that the remaining 60 days would not be so difficult to endure.

After arranging breakfast, Jiang Ye went to check the fish cage.

Jiang Ye originally thought that he would have a good catch, but after lifting it up, he found that there was almost no movement in the fish cage.

When I opened it, I saw only two crabs and a dozen small fish.

There were only so many of them that Jiang Ye had no interest in taking them back.

"I think I've caught all the fish upstream. Let's go a few dozen meters downstream and have a look."

With no other food source, Jiang Ye still hoped that the stream could provide him with more small fish, so that he could smoke them into dried fish and use them as food reserves.

Although the distance is much farther, it is still worth the extra distance if you can catch fish.

After arranging the fish cage, Jiang Ye returned to his shelter.

"It's better to pick up a bargain. I'll be in a mess if it rains next time. The weather today is a bit weird." Jiang Ye looked up at the sky in the distance because there were many clouds.

Jiang Ye was a little worried because the sky was not clear.

He had nothing to shelter from the rain, and he hadn't found any banana leaves yet. If he had any, he could cut some and use them to block the round stove and charcoal kiln.

Otherwise, a heavy rain would cause great damage to the round furnace and charcoal kiln, or even directly destroy them.

There are too many things to do, and Jiang Ye feels that he cannot relax for a moment and has to keep himself tense every day.

So, while breakfast was cooking in the pot, Jiang Ye went to collect firewood.

After collecting a bundle, Jiang Ye had breakfast and then continued to collect wood.

Today’s barbecue doesn’t taste as good as yesterday’s, maybe the novelty has worn off.

But Jiang Ye had no other choice. Compared to others, he was already very lucky.

After eating, Jiang Ye filled the charcoal kiln he had built yesterday with leaves and then set them on fire.

Leaves burn relatively slowly and can slowly dry the charcoal kiln.

After lighting it, Jiang Ye continued to collect firewood.

Because the sky looks brighter and the sun is stronger, it doesn't look like it's going to rain.

After working for several hours, Jiang Ye brought back two bundles of firewood to the camp.

After resting for a while in the camp, Jiang Ye checked the rabbit in the backpack.

"Look, the rabbit is still alive. Not only is it alive, it's even eating some tender grass."

"It seems that I still have a chance to keep it for a while. Now, I'll go cut some more grass." Jiang Ye said as he happily came down from the ladder.

After spending more than ten minutes near the camp, Jiang Ye cut a large handful of tender grass and put it in his backpack.

After watching the rabbit for a while and seeing it start eating grass, Jiang Ye returned to the ground.

"This charcoal kiln is already partially dry and should be ready for use. I don't have much time, so I'll start burning charcoal today."

After saying that, Jiang Ye put the firewood he picked up today into the charcoal kiln upright, filling it up directly.

After filling it up, Jiang Ye began to seal it with soil, leaving only a relatively small ventilation hole.

Then, Jiang Ye ignited the wood at the bottom and let it burn inside.

The charcoal burned in a charcoal kiln will have a much stronger fire and a much higher temperature.

After finishing these, Jiang Ye can start preparing lunch.

Another busy morning has passed. I feel like my senior is working so hard.

It wasn't just Jiang Ye who was working hard; everyone else was working hard too. Even Ling Wei and Gu Ning, who had machetes, had been harvesting thatch nearby this morning to prepare for the roof.

[How many things can one person accomplish? Jiang Ye is considered quite efficient.]

Indeed, in the wilderness, you not only have to find food, but you also have to gather firewood, set traps, and build shelters. It can be said that eating, drinking, and defecating all take up a lot of time, which is very time-consuming.

This is true wilderness survival. There's so much embarrassment and hardship. Those who look so glamorous have teams following them.

Jiang Ye was roasting porcupine meat while drinking soup made from porcupine bones.

The soup has been simmered for a whole morning, and the flavor has come out. It tastes very good.

"I plan to go to the jungle on the other side this afternoon and explore a small area."

"I hope there are banana trees on the other side so I can get some banana leaves back to keep out the rain if it rains."

"We don't want the round furnace and charcoal kiln that we worked so hard to build to be damaged by rain."

"Also, I need some vines and creepers. My side is all shrubs, so there are relatively few vines. The trees on the other side are relatively large, so vines should be easier to find."

Jiang Ye said as he looked at the barrage.

Seeing that everyone in the live broadcast room was advising him not to go, Jiang Ye could only smile in response.

There wasn't much choice in the matter, unless he could ignore the rain.

Otherwise, you have to take this step and look for opportunities on the other side.

Indeed, the risks are higher on the other side.

The iron-backed wolf that the system prompted yesterday was probably hunting animals on the other side of the river, and Jiang Ye would most likely encounter it after he went there.

But he had no other choice.

He couldn't find suitable materials here, so he had to try on the other side.

So no matter how the audience in the live broadcast room persuaded Jiang Ye, Jiang Ye had no intention of changing his plan.

He slowly and methodically roasted the porcupine meat and hung the part for dinner on the bottom beam under his wooden house.

The reason why we grill everything we eat in the evening is mainly because we are worried that we don’t have time to grill it in the evening, or we don’t have the conditions to grill it.

After all, it's raining, so there's no way to make a fire and cook.
