Chapter 66

After discussing it, the two of them divided the work. Qiao Sheng went to the kitchen to re-cook the rabbit heads and rabbit meat that were all over the house yesterday, and Li Mu went to the bathroom to wash the quilt covers with oil stains.

Qiao Sheng first washed them with clean water, then blanched them with boiling water, and then took them out and stir-fried them with more chili peppers. She also tasted them. The second-processed ingredients, except that they didn’t look very good, tasted okay. As long as you didn’t think of them as being taken out of the quilt, they were still edible.

Li Mu was in a dilemma. The only cleaning supplies on the boat were soap, especially red oil, which was even harder to scrub. After scrubbing for a long time, there were still marks. He had no choice but to come up for help. Qiao Sheng also thought about it for a while and said that she seemed to have seen homemade laundry detergents, some using baking soda, some using alkali, and some using edible salt.

According to the recipe she gave, Li Mu decided to change his strategy. He first took the ash from the stove. Their stove really burned everything, including wood boards, straw, and leftover corn cores. He also asked Qiao Sheng if there were any shells at home.

This thing does exist. Not long after entering the game, I met Li Mu. Qiao Sheng learned his habit of keeping oyster shells. She washed the shells of the shells she caught several times with seawater and put them in the box. She was quite careful when packing them. She put them all in the large plastic bucket used by the automatic water filter before, and then put them in the storage box.

A grid can hold many shells. Li Mu was shocked when he took out the plastic bucket. There were really a lot of shells.

She picked up more than a dozen shells and put them in the stone mortar to grind them into powder. If they were not fine enough, she took them to the millstone to grind them. She mixed the wood ash and shell powder together, put them in a small iron basin and took them downstairs.

Dinner was easy to prepare. The quilt cover was washed clean. When Qiao Sheng was helping to hang it out to dry, he took it to the light and took a closer look. It was really clean.

The terrace was too cold, and the wet cloth could not be hung out to dry. Otherwise, it would be frozen into sticks by tomorrow morning. At first, they moved the drying rack to the cabin, hung cotton cloth, and lit a brazier underneath. But it always felt unsafe. If it caught fire, they would be sleeping soundly in the greenhouse and would be caught in the pot.

Finally, we decided to move the drying rack to the wall of the greenhouse, which was a not-too-thick wooden wall. The temperature inside would penetrate the wooden wall, and the cotton cloth would be easily dried in the shade. When the sun came out during the day, we would take it out to dry.

In the evening, we decided to go to bed early. We were too tired that day. We were busy all day and had no time to rest. Now the interior has been repaired almost, and we still have to repair the exterior. The bow has to be rearranged, and some damaged walls need to be replaced and repaired.

In the morning, Qiao Sheng got up with gritted teeth. He was too tired and wanted to sleep in. When he got up, he said that he must finish repairing the boat today and sleep in tomorrow. Collecting materials, all stand aside, and the most important thing is to date Zhou Gong.

After getting up and having a simple breakfast, the two went to the first floor to repair the bow. The whale was also very aggressive, and it cut their staircase-shaped boat into a rectangular shape in a short time.

They took down a few wooden walls at the bow, and Qiao Sheng made floating boards at the back, while Li Mu nailed them up little by little. Forty wooden boards were not too many, and they were installed in a short while. Li Mu also surrounded it with a circle of railings. They

went back to the storage room to get the materials and made a large planting pot again, but did not put the seeds in it. The weather now was not suitable for planting trees. The automatic water filter would be made when the weather was warmer. Now it was frozen at any time, and it would not be able to filter fresh water.

The drinking water on the boat was now made by burning fuel with a simple water filter, so it was enough to be economical.

After the bow was built, Li Mu began to check the wooden walls of the bow. There were nine wooden walls and one door in a row, and eight of them had cracks. The wooden door was actually a bit out of shape, so he had no choice but to replace them all. The old ones were removed and cut into a shape suitable for burning with a machete, and then he went back to fill the stove.

"Li Mu, Li Mu, something is wrong. Look, is there a bulge approaching us over there? Are the small eyes on it rattan pots?" Qiao Sheng stood at the bow and looked around, and suddenly felt something moving in the right front.

Just after installing the door, he heard her words, and Li Mu quickly turned his head and looked in the direction she pointed. There was indeed a bulge swimming towards them, and that thing did have the rattan pots on the back of the whale they had seen before.

Qiao Sheng couldn't help but get a little nervous. What was going on? Was the boat going to be damaged again after it was just repaired? Was the whale chasing them?

When the bulge got closer, Li Mu was sure that it should be a turtle shell. The most important thing was that the turtle was quite big. Qiao Sheng felt a headache. A whale with a cane was gone, and a sea turtle with a cane was here. How could it survive? It was a life-and-death race every day. With the body of this turtle, if it swam under their boat, they would flip over if it exerted its strength.

It was too late to row the boat now. The turtle swam very fast in the water. They couldn't escape even if their arms were broken. They just left it to fate. Qiao Sheng went to the storage room to get a machete. Li Mu looked at her in confusion.

"This is my last stubbornness. It wants to kill me, but I have to leave a mark on its shell, so that future generations will know that I have been here! Of course, it would be fine if I could chop off its limbs, but it's a bit difficult." Qiao Sheng held the machete and spoke viciously.

Soon the turtle swam in front of their boat. The moment it touched, Qiao Sheng felt her boat braked suddenly. When it was in front of her, she realized how big the turtle was. There were ten floating boards across the bow of their boat, which was two-thirds of the turtle. Its shell was really like an island.

No one on either side took action. They all waited for the opportunity. Qiao Sheng didn't know why the turtle didn't move. This turtle was too big and she was trembling with fear.

After a few minutes of stalemate, the turtle actually began to circle in place. It was originally facing the bow sideways, but it paddled and turned head to head. Such a big turtle, its head must be heavy. Just stretching and slapping, the turtle's head rested on their bow, and the fence that Li Mu had just erected was crushed again. It was a bow that had suffered many disasters.

The size of the turtle determined the weight of its head. When it was placed on the bow, Qiao Sheng felt that the boat was sinking, and the seawater came up to the buoy. In an instant, the shoes on his feet were wet. If the wooden walls and doors had not been repaired, the cabin would have been flooded with seawater.

"Hey, hey, brother, please stop pressing my boat. Let's talk it over. If the boat capsizes, we'll have no fun." Qiao Sheng was no longer afraid. He walked to the turtle's head and began to push it. He didn't want to leave a mark on the turtle. He just wanted it to retract its head as soon as possible.

The turtle's small green eyes looked very big on this giant sea turtle. Qiao Sheng stood near the turtle's eyes. The guy's eyes moved and his head retracted.

The weight was reduced, and the bow finally lifted up a little. Then the two people and the ghost stood on the bow and began to make various guesses.

And it was getting more and more vague. Qiao Sheng guessed that it wanted to find a wife from the fact that it was hungry. Later, it even asked the turtle whether it wanted to help it find its mother or eggs. The turtle's eyes changed from clear to more and more disgusted, and finally it closed its eyes and didn't even look at her.

"Is it disgusted with me? Is it playing the game of blindly ignoring me? I tell you, if it was a little thing, I would have to lift its eyelids at this moment to let it see who is the boss." Qiao Sheng stood by and watched.

"Do you want us to help you clean the rattan pot on your body?" Li Muan, who had been silent all the time, patted Qiao Sheng's shoulder and asked the turtle with his eyes closed. Sure

enough, the turtle opened his eyes with surprise in his eyes, moved his head from the bow, and moved his limbs to turn his body sideways again. Qiao Sheng was dumbfounded by the scene in front of him. What was going on? The content of the small video happened next to him?

Li Mu took the machete from Qiao Sheng's hand and was about to climb onto the turtle's back to clean it up, but Qiao Sheng stopped him. Have you read Journey to the West? If you don't agree with me, I will throw you into the water. Security work must be in place. Two long hemp ropes were prepared in the storage room and Li Mu was asked to tie them around his waist.

Of the remaining two, one was tied to Qiao Sheng's waist, and the other was tied to the fence at the bow. If he really fell off, she could rescue him at any time. After making preparations, Li Mu climbed onto the turtle's back and cleaned up bit by bit with a machete.

Qiao Sheng stood on the shore to command. Sometimes she could see sharks swimming in the distance, but they didn't get close. She was a little worried, so she untied the hemp rope around her waist, went up to the second floor, got a wrist bag from the greenhouse, and went to the kitchen to get fresh pork. Then she went back to the bow and tied the hemp rope around her waist again.

If the sea turtle tricked Li Mu and threw him into the sea, and the shark swam over again, she could throw a bait down and quickly pull him back.

Qiao Sheng did not let him throw the cleaned rattan pots back into the sea, but threw them all to the bow. Li Mu did not understand what she wanted to do, and Qiao Sheng explained that she wanted to taste it, saying that the things in the sea should be very bright, and she seemed to have seen people eating them before.

Li Mu did not understand, but was very obedient, and the bow was soon filled with rattan pots. Qiao Sheng went into the cabin and took out a wooden bucket, and put all the rattan pots in it. This thing was really a bit disgusting after seeing it too much, and it was too unfriendly to people with claustrophobia. For Qiao Sheng, it was really disgusting, but she wanted to see more.

The sea turtle's back was covered with dense rattan pots. Li Mu was exhausted after cleaning one-third of them. He negotiated with the sea turtle and went back to the boat to rest for a while. Qiao Sheng stood at the bow of the boat, eager to try. After discussing with Li Mu, he took a machete and climbed up the sea turtle's back to dig.

Only then did he realize how much effort it took. Those rattan pots were also vicious. They were all tightly attached to the sea turtle's shell. It took a lot of force to pry them off. At first, Qiao Sheng couldn't control the strength and couldn't cut or pry them off.

Later, he used the machete to pry a small corner, sat on the sea turtle, concentrated all his strength on his right foot, and kicked hard. The rattan pot almost flew to Li Mu's head. If he hadn't reacted and dodged, he would definitely have a blister.

Qiao Sheng said to be careful next time, and kicked several more times in a row. This time, he didn't go for the head. One piece hit the leg, and another one brushed the arm and flew over. Because the force was strong enough, the newly repaired wooden wall was left with marks. She decided to change the way of prying the rattan pot. Now this way of hurting the enemy for only 800 words is not good. If she kicked them all like this, they would lose their boat.
