Chapter 37

Qiao Sheng thought that burning charcoal was just throwing it in and taking it out. Li Mu was doing the work of burning charcoal. He put it in, sealed the kiln mouth, and sealed the kiln completely when it burned to a certain degree, and used the residual heat to slowly turn the wood into charcoal.

When Li Mu came back, he was sweating. It was hard not to sweat when standing by the high-temperature charcoal kiln. Qiao Sheng waited for him to go to the bathroom to wash and change into clean clothes before they had breakfast together.

While eating, Li Mu said that they could continue to go into the forest to collect supplies.

"Then there is no need to watch the charcoal in the kiln?" Qiao Sheng asked, stopping his corn chewing action.

"No, it will be almost done when we come back in the evening. The kiln is too small and can't burn too much. When we go out later, we'll cut some thicker branches and burn another kiln in the evening." Li Mu finished his breakfast as quickly as possible and went downstairs to harvest crops and feed the animals.

Qiao Sheng prepared some simple food and water in the kitchen on the second floor, and had to replenish his value bar at any time outside.

Both sides worked together and were ready to go soon. Qiao Sheng carried a backpack, a hunting net hung on his waist with a rope, and a rifle in his hand. Li Mu hung a waist bag on his waist with two cotton bags tied to the belt, and held a machete in his right hand.

After getting off the boat, we chose the middle route and entered the forest. This time, our goal was very clear. We cut branches, cut lots of branches, harvest crops and animals passing by, and basically left nothing behind wherever we passed.

Of course, we encountered dangers, such as snakes, which became common. Fortunately, the two of us had keen hearing and were highly alert when we heard the hissing sound. Qiao Sheng also replaced the iron gun with a machete in his bag. Even if we hit the target every time and cut off the snake's head every time, we couldn't withstand the kind of head-cutting attack, which made the two of us very scared.

"This creature is really scary. It's already in two pieces, but it can still attack. Luckily you reacted quickly and threw a stone to knock it away, otherwise it would have bitten you." Qiao Sheng watched Li Mu smash the snake's head and bury it. She leaned against the tree trunk and wiped the sweat off her head with the short sleeves of her T-shirt. It was so thrilling just now that she broke out in a cold sweat. JJZL Li

Mu also gave her a popular science explanation of why a snake with its head cut off would still bite people. Qiao Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. She thought that Liu Xian'er had taken revenge on her.

"You are too superstitious. Don't you watch Approaching Science very often?" Li Mu teased her.

"You don't understand. We should be in awe of the unknown. If we use science to prove everything, what fun is there in life? Are all those who pray to God really pious? Many of them are just looking for excuses for their failures. Besides, can you explain our current situation with science? A living person was dragged into the game. In my past, I would rather believe that I met a weasel seeking a title, Liu Xian'er's revenge, or even a fox spirit's charm, than believe that I entered the game alive." Qiao Sheng took two bottles of water from his bag and handed one to Li Mu. He was sweating too much and needed to replenish water urgently.

"Uh... So did we meet Liu Xian'er's revenge?" Li Mu questioned with his eyes. Qiao Sheng could even feel that if this was a comic character, he would definitely have a question mark on his head.

"Shut up, sooner or later you'll meet a fox spirit who'll trick you into not knowing the directions." Qiao Sheng put away the glass bottle, stood up straight, and prepared to continue exploring the forest.

They encountered quite a few animals in the forest that day, not to mention the rampant hares, wild ducks and pheasants, and large animals such as wild boars. They also encountered a roe deer, and successfully hunted one. Qiao

Sheng was the first to take action. The roe deer was strolling happily, and when it saw them, it turned around and walked away, without even thinking of getting close. Qiao Sheng, on the other hand, went up to it and hit it with a combination of punches, which stunned the roe deer, and the animals around it fled in all directions upon hearing the noise.

When the stupid roe deer fell to the ground, Li Mu, who was standing nearby, finally reacted and put the roe deer into his waist bag. Qiao Sheng picked up leaves nearby and wiped the blood off the machete.

"Your skills are getting better and better. You're attracted by the fur, right? You attacked the head, and the fur on the body was not damaged at all." Li Mu lifted the soil nearby to cover the blood.

"It's always a rabbit. We have to peel it until some time. If there is a chance, we have to get something big. But this one is really stupid. If it's another beast, we'd better run around. We can't beat it. We can't beat it at all." Qiao Sheng threw a hunting net out casually, and it hit a rabbit she hated.

Li Mu walked over and picked up the rabbit in the hunting net, and handed the net back to her. He cut the rabbit's neck and put it in his waist bag, saying that she was just picking up grass to catch rabbits, and she would not let any of them go.

After a busy day in the woods, when they returned to the boat, the sunset at the seaside was quite beautiful. Qiao Sheng climbed to the third-floor deck and looked at the beautiful scenery of the sea level. Li Mu stood on the shore and watched for a while, then went to check his charcoal kiln.

Qiao Sheng said he was appreciating the beautiful scenery, so he just watched it for a while, and then went back to the second-floor kitchen to prepare dinner. Li Mu was banging on the kiln door with a machete.

After Li Mu moved the charcoal out of the kiln, Qiao Sheng's dinner was served. The vinegar-fried potato shreds were added with chopped chili peppers, which tasted sour and spicy and very appetizing. The rabbit meat that was almost finished before was now replenished. Since they were too lazy to fry it, they grilled two rabbit legs on the grill and made a carrot and pork rib soup. The staple food was boiled corn.

They called Li Mu up and had dinner first, and then they started to pack up the supplies they brought back today.

They first neatly stacked the thick branches cut on the road in the charcoal kiln, and burned them before going to bed, so that they would be almost done by the time they woke up.

Qiao Sheng first cut down all the coconut trees on the first floor of the terrace. This time, he planted the pepper seeds he brought back yesterday and the pepper seeds he exchanged. He didn't need too many, just two seeds in each. The remaining four planting pots were still planted with coconut trees.

At this rate, the harvest can be harvested in two days.

Will spicy rabbit meat still be a dream by then? The chili peppers that were exposed to the sun on the terrace during the day have also dried up. The newly planted peppers in the planting pots in the cabin have also been harvested. He took the seeds and replanted them. He kept a few fresh ones for daily cooking, and continued to dry the rest. When the pepper trees produce peppers, spicy rabbit heads and spicy rabbit meat will no longer be a dream!

Qiao Sheng squatted in front of the planting pot, harvesting and sowing excitedly, his mind full of delicious food, and the duck tied behind him was splashing in the water for a while, and then quacking.

Tired of it, Qiao Sheng turned his head to teach it a lesson, but as soon as he turned his head, the duck shut up, as if the quacking sound just now did not come from its mouth.

"If you make a sound again, I will tie your mouth with a rope. Don't think that you can pretend that it was not you who quacked just now by closing your mouth!" Qiao Sheng poked the tied duck's head and threatened. When

Li Mu sealed the kiln door and came back, he saw a man and a duck confronting each other. After standing aside and watching for a while, he knew what was going on. He could not participate in such things, so it would be better for him to clean up the supplies in his bag.

Qiao Sheng was very angry and felt wronged. He dared not speak. He walked around in the thick straw angrily. It was not until Qiao Sheng got closer that he found three duck eggs hidden in the straw under its webbed feet.

He quickly picked up the three duck eggs and called Li Mu to check whether the eggs could hatch chicks. After his appraisal, two of them could hatch, but the other one could not.

"Do you think tying up the duck is considered selling its child for glory? This duck is getting more and more shameless." Qiao Sheng put the two hatched duck eggs back into the straw, and prepared to put away the other one to see if it could be used as a salted duck egg.

After hearing what she said, Li Mu didn't know whether to despise the duck or pity the duck. This duck is too miserable. It has been continuously rejected since it got on the boat, and it is still trying to reproduce. I always feel sad.

The reserved item in the evening is still to clean up the rabbits. There were nearly 130 left yesterday, and more than 80 were brought in today. There are also five snakes. Li Mu still skinned them and put them in the trading system. When he changed the pepper seeds yesterday, he actually found a new function - auction.

Put the item you want to auction in, and wait for other players to bid with their items. After one day, you can choose the one that suits you best from all the bidding items and exchange them. In other words, the one with the most bids may not necessarily win, it all depends on the seller's idea.

The best thing about this system is that the freshness of your items does not change after you put them in. For example, if you put in an item that is only three days fresh, and it takes two days to be successfully auctioned, the item will still be three days fresh when it reaches the buyer, and the two-day auction time does not affect the freshness.

However, there is also a downside, that is, if you put this item in, as long as someone participates in the auction, it will not be unsold. Suppose you put your item in, and only one player wants to exchange it with a leaf, you have no other choice but to exchange it, and there is no such thing as unequal value of the item and taking it back.

But this has no effect on Qiao Sheng and the others. They don't eat snake meat in the first place. Throwing it into the sea or burying it in the soil is afraid of attracting wild beasts. Putting it in the auction system is completely a negative behavior.

For other things, it is still convenient and quick to exchange them by issuing orders.

Five headless and skinned snakes were thrown into the system by Li Mu. The two sighed, and one of them moved a small stool and sat on the edge of a floating board to start peeling the rabbit skin. This work was repetitive and outrageous. All the dirt was placed on banana leaves. When it was full, it was thrown into the toilet in the bathroom on the first floor to refresh.

The rabbit skins were peeled off and put aside. They would be collected when they left the island and drifted on the sea. The rabbit meat was hung on the drying rack to dry directly for easy preservation.

The day was too busy, and it was impossible for the two of them to work at night. Today, the two of them killed two wild boars together. The rest did not consume much physical energy. Yesterday, they only collected more than 30 wild boars. Today, the workload doubled and they collected 60 wild boars. Yesterday, there were 128 rabbits left. Today, they brought back 85 rabbits. After finishing today's work, the rabbit skins increased by 90, and there were 153 unskinned rabbits left. There was also a roe deer and six wild boars in the storage box.

After cleaning, Qiao Sheng lay on the bed and sighed. Li Mu asked her what was wrong. She turned over and said with a tone of despair that there was no end to the work, no end at all.

Li Mu comforted her that she could take a rest and not wind up her spring too tight, otherwise it would break easily. His tone was very calm, which made Qiao Sheng, who was a little irritable, gradually calm down.

Before falling asleep, Qiao Sheng thought in her mind that being a teacher is different. This person is fed with chicken soup of the mind, and she has no choice but to accept it.
