Chapter 65: Weaving a Round Cage While Forging Iron (Please Read More)



While Gu Ning and Ling Wei were chatting, Jiang Ye was also having dinner.

Jiang Ye cooked the crabs and was eating them.

I have to say that the crabs are very delicious and Jiang Ye likes them very much.

Unfortunately, the quantity was too small. After eating, Jiang Ye still didn’t feel full, and he had to eat some smoked porcupine meat to feel full.

After eating, Jiang Ye chatted with Gu Ning and Ling Wei for a while, and also chatted with the people in his live broadcast room.

In the evening, Jiang Ye planned to fix the pliers.

In fact, the shape of the pliers has already been determined. You just need to use a fine chisel to drill a hole at the predetermined position and then use a nail as a pin.

Putting the two parts of the pliers into the round furnace, Jiang Ye continued to heat them.

The charcoal kiln next to it was still smoking because Jiang Ye put wood in it in the afternoon to make new charcoal.

If he doesn't make new charcoal, he will have no charcoal to use.

Forging tools still consumes a lot of charcoal.

After the connecting part was burned red, Jiang Ye took it out and started drilling holes with a fine chisel.

It took Jiang Ye more than an hour to drill the hole.

It was easy after the hole was drilled. Jiang Ye directly pushed the prepared nail through.

"Looks like it's working now. It's a success. Next, slowly hammer the other end of the nail flat. The nail will stretch out and won't fall out."

As he said that, Jiang Ye turned it over and placed it on the meteorite pot.

Then Jiang Ye grabbed the meteorite which was similar to a hammer and started hammering the nails.

Jiang Ye started knocking gently because he was worried that the nail would be knocked crooked and affect the use of the pliers.

Make sure the nails are straight and not bent.

After hammering for more than ten minutes, Jiang Ye finally shortened the end of the nail, giving it an extra "cap".

This way, you don't have to worry about the nails falling off during use.

"Well, the pliers are completely finished. Look, they clamp very smoothly. With this, I can make the hole for the axe."

"After the axe has a hole drilled in it, it can be used as a hammer. This piece of meteorite in my hand can also be used, but it requires holding it with my hand, which is too tiring. I need to forge it and drill a hole in the middle to make it into a proper hammer."

"However, starting tomorrow I can only start forging these iron tools at night."

As he spoke, Jiang Ye used pliers to put the "axe" into the round furnace.

It was just past eight o'clock, and Jiang Ye was going to drill the hole for the axe before going to bed.

"Gu Ning and Ling Wei's shelters are almost finished, but mine is still so simple. Whenever it rains, I have to wrap myself in leaves, which seriously affects my rest."

"So, I plan to build a shelter and look for food during the day."

"Also, the handle of my knife is too crude. I just wrapped it with canvas. It's fine for a few days of short-term use, but for long-term use, I still need to find some hardwood to make a handle."

"There's a lot to do. I can't just stay in the camp and work as a blacksmith all day."

[I feel so busy. There are so many things I haven’t done.]

The most important thing is food, food, food. The bacon looks like it will only last a day. I guess I need to get some wood ear mushrooms.

"Isn't the rabbit food? Is it okay to kill it and eat it for two days?"

[The rabbit is a living creature, so try not to move if possible, right?]

"That's right. I don't plan to touch that rabbit for now. I'll keep it for emergency." Jiang Ye explained his plan.

It's easy to kill a rabbit, but it's hard to catch it again. And you can't guarantee that a newly caught rabbit won't escape or go on a hunger strike.

Wild rabbits are very timid and can be easily frightened. Once frightened, they will not dare to eat and will starve to death.

"So for it, I have to go get some vines and weave a cage for it."

"Fortunately, the barrage was interesting, otherwise I would have forgotten about this matter." After Jiang Ye finished speaking, he stood up and picked up the vines he had collected earlier.

When drilling the hole for the axe, you need to wait because it takes time to heat up.

Jiang Ye has been busy forging iron today and has really neglected this matter.

Although time is a bit tight now, after Jiang Ye finishes drilling the hole for the axe, he can still spend some time weaving the cage.

Bring the vine over here. The axe in the round furnace hasn't been heated yet.

So, he just started to weave it.

"I'm planning on weaving a round cage. Since I have limited time, I won't bother with thatching and will just do it directly."

After saying that, Jiang Ye started to edit.

Jiang Ye already knew how to weave it, so he didn't need to make a proof.

After weaving for more than ten minutes, the 'axe' in the round furnace turned red.

Jiang Ye used pliers to pick it out, and he used both hands because it was too heavy.

Placing it on the bottom of the meteorite iron pot, Jiang Ye held it with pliers in one hand and began to beat it with the other.

He planned to give it two rounds of hammering and then start drilling holes in it.

Time passed little by little, and Jiang Ye methodically weaved the cage and drilled holes for the axe.

I was busy until 11 o'clock, and the hole for the axe was finally opened. It was much thicker and heavier than an ordinary axe, and the axe blade was also wider.

However, Jiang Ye was still quite satisfied with it.

After the axe was finished, Jiang Ye ignored it and directly climbed back to his wooden house with the half-finished round cage.

When forging iron, the noise is quite loud, and wild animals are usually scared away.

But if we only make a cage, there will be no movement, so it is safer on top of the wooden house.

It took Jiang Ye nearly two hours to finish weaving the round cage.

Jiang Ye was already yawning continuously. He put the round cage at his feet and was too lazy to put the rabbit into the cage for testing. He just lay down and went to sleep.

I fell asleep in less than half a minute after lying down, and slept very soundly.

The eleventh day was spent in such a busy process.

Compared with others, Jiang Ye seems to be much busier and more desperate.

Although more than 100,000 people were eliminated, there were still some relatively insignificant survivors among the remaining 30,000 people.

At night, Jiang Ye's side was relatively quiet, with no particularly loud noises.

When Jiang Ye woke up, it was already past eight o'clock the next day.

After waking up, Jiang Ye rechecked his round cage. The round cage he made was in the shape of a big belly, small at the top and large at the bottom, so that there was more space at the bottom.

This was the first time Jiang Ye had done this kind of hairstyle, and he was surprised that he succeeded in one go.

After checking and making sure there was no problem, Jiang Ye took the rabbit out of the backpack and put it into the round cage.

"Yes, it's quite suitable for rabbits. You can weave a cover and put it on top at night to prevent it from jumping out."

Jiang Ye contentedly transferred the uneaten grass from the backpack to the round cage, and then he carried the backpack to the stream.

The rabbit has been kept in the basket for a few days and needs to be cleaned.

As soon as he reached the stream, a reminder sounded in Jiang Ye's mind.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone! !
