Chapter 142
I made another furnace. While we were on the ship today and the flow rate was still eight times, I would like to make two more furnaces before going to bed.
Li Mu placed the furnace downstairs, and Qiao Sheng went upstairs to empty the container.
After all, the capacity of this container is still large, and it would take up a lot of space to empty it into a storage box. Fortunately, there are only two categories in the same container, and Qiao Sheng made six more storage cabinets.
Li Mu waited downstairs for a long time and didn't see her come down. He knew that he couldn't open it anymore, so he hurried up to help, and then emptied the two containers.
Put the box into the furnace, and then put the coal in. Get up early tomorrow and make a batch of shells before the ship docks.
After arranging everything, the two went fishing for a while, then washed up and went to bed.
Early in the morning, before the rooster crowed downstairs, Qiao Sheng opened her eyes. When she turned her head, she saw Li Mu sitting on the bed and putting on her sneakers. Seeing that she was awake, she asked if the noise was too loud and woke her up.
Qiao Sheng answered that she was either woken up by the noise or she woke up naturally because she had something on her mind, and she was not ready to continue sleeping. When she was ready to get up, she stopped slowing down her movements and got up normally.
After cleaning himself, Qiao Sheng went into the kitchen. Li Mu went to the terrace to check the distance to the island. He estimated that he should be able to reach the shore when the sun rises completely.
Because the distance was far, he couldn't see the situation on the island clearly, so he went into the cabin and took mulberry leaves, cabbage leaves, radish strips and corn kernels from the refrigerator to the third-floor cabin. He first filled the troughs of all the nests with food, thinking that it would be enough for the day. He
also opened the silkworm house and replaced the leaves with new mulberry leaves. He put a lot of leaves in the baskets on each floor, for fear that he would come back late and these guys would die in front of them.
He harvested all the crops in the planting pots and planted them back as they were. Li Mu didn't worry about what to plant in the planting pots. Qiao Sheng would come up to update a wave of crops at noon every day. At other times, he would just plant the crops as they were after harvesting them. He
would spread the harvested crops on the ground to dry if they needed to be dried, and hang them on the drying rack if they could be hung on the drying rack. He would take the crops that didn't need to be dried downstairs and put them in the refrigerator if they needed to be put in the refrigerator. The rest could be placed in the storage box in the kitchen. Sometimes they would be placed incorrectly. He would tell Qiao Sheng and she would adjust it herself.
Then he would go to the cabin on the first floor to take out all the materials in the furnace, and then adjust the time flow rate of the ship to normal.
After finishing all these, they went upstairs to the kitchen to help with the cooking. Qiao Sheng not only made breakfast, but also prepared lunch and dinner and put them in his wrist bag.
Li Mu also put water and ten baked sweet potatoes in his wrist bag. This was in case the two of them got lost and starved to death on the island. There was no need to worry about not being able to finish these things. At most, they could give them to the cassock cubs as snacks when they came back at night.
Lunch and dinner were all made of big rolls with meat, vegetables and staple foods. The glass bottles were not cooled and boiled, but filled with barley tea. They
were busy preparing food for the two of them on the island, and had no time to prepare breakfast for the animals. So Li Mu went to the refrigerator to get the shark meat-filled buns and steamed a full pot.
Breakfast was a steamed bun for two animals, a baked sweet potato, and a bowl of shark meat porridge. Xinxin only had porridge and sweet potato.
The remaining two meals were left for the two of them, and they were specifically told not to steal food and to eat in order, otherwise they would go hungry that day. The cassock cub understood this, and in order to let it watch over Xinxin, Li Mu also put the two of them in a den, so that anything that bit their ears or drooled on their heads could be washed.
The main reason was that they were afraid that if they were too far away, Xinxin would eat all the food after they left. There were only two possible outcomes: die after eating, or go hungry after digesting everything in her stomach. Both of these outcomes were not very decent, so they simply let the cassock cub control her.
As for the cassock cub, it had been there several times before when Qiao Sheng and his team went out to the dungeon, and it could already eat the food. It would wait for them to get on the boat to eat the last bite of the food left for it. The reason was very simple. It had once been completely finished, but it was still hungry for a whole day. When Qiao Sheng and his team came back, this guy was just clinging to his thighs. He
even came to complain after being tied up. This guy was so hungry that he stole a duck egg to eat. The eggshell was hidden in the straw of the bear's den, and it was Li Mu who dug it out. Because he ate the tied cub, he ignored the cassock cub for several days.
After a busy breakfast, they packed their backpacks, emptied what needed to be emptied, filled what needed to be filled, hung their quivers around their waists, held their machetes in their hands, and put everything else in their wrist bags. They also checked the durability of their items, and placed their knockout drugs and treasure pills in convenient places, making sure they could be taken out the first time they were needed. After
everything was ready, the two of them sat at the bow of the boat, not in the mood to fish, just staring at the island in a daze.
"Twenty boats, sixty or seventy players, it sounds scary. If a fight breaks out, we should try to move to the side to avoid getting covered in blood." Qiao Sheng felt a headache when he thought of the reminder given by the system yesterday.
After looking around their boat, they didn't see any signs of other ships. They couldn't help but query the system, and the reply was that twenty boats arrived in succession in an hour.
It seemed that they were only given an hour of free time. The two of them discussed and decided to go to the island after docking to get a rough feel for it, and then let Ah Dai go around the island first. After all, it has wings and can fly fast.
This trip was exchanged for three dried pork jerky. After making sure that Qiao Sheng took three dried meats from the refrigerator, Ah Dai flapped his wings and flew.
"Is my reputation that bad? Why do you make it seem like I need it to eat and drink?" Qiao Sheng wondered why this guy didn't trust her so much.
"You don't need them to eat, just don't give them snacks alone, especially when you are eating snacks, these ones can only circle around your legs, and then hope that some food will leak out of your mouth." Li Mu had a headache thinking about what these ones did. They really did everything to eat. While chatting
, the boat docked, went downstairs to put down the anchor, and the two of them opened the cabin door and went to the table. Just after taking two steps, Qiao Sheng turned his head and looked at his boat, reminding Li Mu to build a staircase, preferably one that can climb directly from the shore to the second-floor terrace, and it must be the kind that can be folded up.
Li Mu agreed, but she was still a little worried, so she sent an email to Xia Beibei, asking her to lend them the ladder first and exchange it at night. Xia Beibei was still half asleep and half awake, so she sent three words [in coma], and the ladder was sent over.
After putting the ladder into the wrist bag, Qiao Sheng felt relieved. Seeing her like this, Li Mu also became more careful.
As soon as the two of them left the shore, Ah Dai flew back and landed directly on Li Mu's left shoulder, then stretched out his wings to point the way, unwilling to fly one more step. Qiao Sheng reached out and touched its belly, seriously suspecting that this guy had made himself fat, and it was tiring enough to fly.
Ah Dai dared not say anything to the person who was holding his snacks. When Qiao Sheng walked on the left, he flew up and squatted on the right side of Li Mu. The meaning was too obvious, don't come near.
There was still a forest on the shore. The further you walked into the forest, the more you felt something was wrong. Many trees were uprooted and fell to the ground. There were also animals on the ground that were unable to dodge and were crushed into a pool of blood and flesh.
Li Mu went over and got some blood stains on his hands, which obviously had not dried up yet. He also checked the soil at the roots of the tree. These two things proved that the tree had fallen not long ago, and the crushed animal had also died not long ago.
The place that Ah Dai pointed out must be one that he thought was safe. Qiao Sheng and the others walked and looked. In addition to the fallen trees, there were still some hurried animals passing by on the ground from time to time.
Because the ship behind them would dock in an hour, they did not dare to waste time. They did not touch anything and just explored the island.
"Li Mu, something is not right. Look at that wild boar. It just ran straight past us. Is this kind of animal an active monster? Do they usually attack us actively?" Qiao Sheng looked at the wild boar running away from them and reached out to grab Li Mu's arm.
"Not only wild boars, I just heard a rustling sound. It should be a snake passing by. It didn't mean to attack us. This island is getting weirder and weirder." Li Mu looked around and felt a little panic for no reason. Everything was too unreasonable.
It took them an hour to get out of the forest. It was not because the forest was so big, but because the trees always blocked their way. At first, they took a detour. After taking a detour twice, they remembered that they could put the trees in their bags and chop them up and use them as firewood when they got back to the boat. Why go a long way?
Qiao Sheng also asked Ah Dai if he was sure there was no problem with the route he had chosen. Then, when Ah Dai pointed to the distance with his wings, he flew from Li Mu's shoulder to the fallen tree and spread his wings. He didn't fly either. He just looked at Qiao Sheng with his wings spread.
"I see. There are more fallen trees on other roads. The road you took has the least fallen trees. Is that what you mean? Great." Qiao Sheng took out a strip of meat from his wrist bag, cut off a small piece with a machete and stuffed it into Ah Dai's beak.
Since they knew they couldn't avoid it, they could only keep going forward. When they came out of the forest, they found themselves in a field. The two of them stood in front of the field that looked like it had been hit by a disaster, and they didn't know how to react. It was spring, and many crops in the field were still seedlings, but now they were all leaning to one side or the other.
There were also some mature crops that all fell to the ground. Although they were not their own crops, they were still sad. It was too much of a waste.
Li Mu had already squatted by the field to check the crops. The result did not look like they were dug out by humans. As for how it became like this, he was not sure.
