Chapter 84

Qiao Sheng did not let Qi Ye eat on the boat because they were not familiar with the place. Instead, she went to the kitchen to get him food. She did not take more than ten leftover pancakes from lunch. The ones she made were not too big. Li Mu could eat five in one meal.

She took a piece of dried pork and two frozen fish from the storage box. When she handed them to Qi Ye, he could obviously see that he swallowed his saliva. It seemed that he was really hungry.

She also agreed with him to meet at the shore tomorrow morning and go mining together. As for the shipbuilding, Qi Ye needed to prepare the materials himself, and Qiao Sheng and his team would provide the technology. Of course, if both parties were satisfied with the cooperation, they would also help to build the infrastructure on the boat. Qi Ye

, who has always lived on the island, has no friends, has never met other players, and has never even seen a map, has never seen the world. At this moment, he does not know that his partner also came with full sincerity.

Since the intention of cooperation has been reached, Qiao Sheng and his team are prepared not to cut down large amounts of wood on the island. After Qi Ye's boat is built, they can harvest it before leaving.

Back on the boat, they are relaxed all of a sudden. With nothing to do, Qiao Sheng decided to go fishing, and Li Mu continued to go back to the third floor to install his roof with a ridge.

In the evening, in order to have more motivation for mining tomorrow, they not only prepared a big meal for themselves, but also for the animals downstairs.

The chickens at home worked so hard. The two little hens laid eggs every day. After such a long time, only one edible egg was saved, which made Qiao Sheng very worried. In comparison, the ducks that were tied up every now and then looked pretty.

When putting food in the trough, it even snorted its tied head, which scared the ducks. It didn't dare to eat and hid behind the water basin trembling, fearing that Qiao Sheng would catch it and make a beer duck.

After dinner, they went to bed early and stopped at the shore. With the three-layer roof already half covered, the two of them finally slept a full night's sleep after so many days. When they got up in the morning, the bow of the first layer had already taken in water. Fortunately, the shore gave some support, so there was no problem.

When Qiao Sheng went to make breakfast, he started sweeping snow upstairs and downstairs. The half-finished roof could not be put away. They would go to dig a vein later, so they had to eat well. They might not be back at noon, so they had to bring lunch.

Fresh water had to be brought with them, and a kettle was brought with them to heat up fresh water at any time. The weather was too cold, and they couldn't stand it without drinking some hot water to warm up.

Considering the appetite of the two men, Qiao Sheng made thirty meat buns for lunch, and left three for Xia Beibei to send. The remaining seven could be eaten by her and Li Mu at breakfast. He also

prepared some pork ribs soup and kelp soup to bring with him. When they were almost cooked in a small iron pot, he put them in his wrist bag and took them out at lunch time, heated them on the fire, and they were ready to eat. It was convenient and quick.

After breakfast, Qi Ye hadn't arrived yet, so Qiao Sheng threw a few corns on the grill. If this guy comes full, he can have this as a snack for morning tea or afternoon tea. If he comes hungry, he can have a few corns to satisfy his hunger.

It didn't take too long. As soon as the grilled corn came out of the oven, Qi Ye ran to the shore while wearing his tiger skin skirt.

"No... Sorry, I got up late... I haven't eaten so much in a long time, and even my sleep quality has improved." Qi Ye ran too fast. When he got under the boat, he bent his waist, supported his knees with his hands, and explained with heavy breath.

Qiao Sheng ignored all this and asked him if he had eaten breakfast. He replied that he had not, so he handed him some freshly roasted corns and a cup of barley tea, asking him to eat first before going to work.

The mine was located in the center of the island. They had not walked in and did not know the size of the island. It was not until they entered the forest that they realized how big the island was. It took them nearly two hours to walk from the shore to the mine.

This situation was very embarrassing for them. They would spend four hours on the road every day, and half a day would be gone. It was not realistic to live in the mine and not go out. Now it was snowing, and the boat could not hold up overnight under the accumulation of snow. By the time they finished digging and went back, the boat would probably have sunk.

After getting to know Qi Ye a little more, Qiao Sheng almost picked up stones from the ground and threw them at him. Why did he wait for her to ask such important news before answering.

The reason why they were so far from the mine was because they had parked the boat at the farthest shore from the mine. If they went around the mine to the island, it would only take about ten minutes to walk there.

Qiao Sheng glared at him and reprimanded him for not telling him about this earlier. If he didn't tell him now, he would be beaten.

"You don't know, it's very difficult to get to the island there. There's only a narrow path with strange rocks blocking the way. It's very troublesome. It's better for you to park the boat now, which is a gentle slope." Qi Ye explained quickly.

"Then you don't consider the problem of sending the bags back when they are full. It takes four hours to go back and forth, and we can only dig two bags a day. Don't you want us to dig more, so you set a trap?" Qiao Sheng's conspiracy theory came online again, looking up and down at the panicked young man.

"How is it possible! I also go in and dig for a while and come out, but your bag is a little small, look at the bamboo baskets I bring, I always bring two, when I come out, I hang one on my chest and carry one on my back, so I can bring more things out, how about you bring the boat over at night? I live in a cave nearby." Qi Ye showed Qiao Sheng his bamboo basket.

Looking at the bamboo basket in front of him and then looking at the active young man, Qiao Sheng's mood calmed down, and he really didn't look fierce at all.

Seeing her like this, Li Mu knew that Qi Ye's primitive tool had softened her heart. He called Qi Ye to lead the way and dig quickly. After digging a full bag today, they had to go back. After confirming the location with Qi Ye, they had to row the boat all the way over.

When they entered the mine to dig, they knew how weird the setting of this game was. They brought the iron shovels they usually used to shovel snow, but in this mine, every shovel was really an unknown. There were not only coal mines, but also metal mines, non-metallic mines and even chemical mines.

This situation once again refreshed Li Mu's understanding of the game. Qi Ye was used to digging and didn't think there was anything wrong. Qiao Sheng didn't understand and thought it was good to have so many types.

Li Mu could only comfort himself that it was all a game, that's why this happened. However, the first shovel produced coal, the second shovel produced diamond, the third shovel produced mica, and the fourth shovel produced copper. He was really convinced.

When digging, Li Mu also talked to Qi Ye. The mine cave would not collapse. Now the three of them were struggling in the cave. If it really collapsed and they were buried, there would be no one outside who could save them.

"No, I come here often to dig, and there has never been a landslide. If you are too worried, we can dig at the entrance today, or we can dig the top as well. Anyway, after this wave of digging, we will never come back. I dug a hole horizontally to keep warm." Qi Ye explained.

The three people dug at the same time, and the progress was quite fast. Soon Qi Ye's two bamboo baskets were full. Turning around, he saw Qiao Sheng and Li Mu holding a shovel in their hands, shoveling again and again, and the ore produced disappeared in an instant.

This was somewhat beyond his cognition. After observing carefully for a while, he still couldn't help asking what was going on.

"Since you asked, I'll tell you. I just couldn't bear to disturb your enthusiasm. In this game, there is a chance to get a map when you salvage supplies at sea. This map can also reveal many things, such as the floating board on our ship, wooden walls, etc., which can all be found." Qiao Sheng took out a bottle of warm water from his bag, poured a cup for Li Mu, and another for Qi Ye, and told him to put away the quilt himself, and he would have to use this cup to drink water later.

"Then what does this map have to do with the ore that suddenly disappeared in your hands?" Qi Ye rested on the ore while drinking warm water.

"This is the point. You can open a backpack. Have you played the game? A backpack with grids. The storage limit of the same type of single item is 99." Qiao Sheng looked at the bamboo basket at his feet, and then looked down at the backpack on his chest. This damn sense of superiority, how did it come so suddenly.

"Can I ask an unwelcome favor? This bag should be made of animal skin, right? I have pig skin, cow skin, sheep skin and snake skin. Can you make one for me? I will provide the materials myself and I can also pay you. Otherwise, I will work for you these few days. Except for the coal mines, you can take everything else. How about it? Workers like me are very good. I only need to consume a few corns in four hours." Qi Ye felt that since he met them, his cute skills have become better and better.

If it weren't for the serious-looking Li Mu standing next to him, he would be even cuter! Want to know about men's jackets?

He smiled brightly at Qiao Sheng. Li Mu walked over, took the water bottle from Qiao Sheng's hand, poured himself another cup of warm water, and refilled Qiao Sheng's cup. Then he put the water bottle into his wrist bag, calmly drank another glass of water, and put away the two people's bamboo cups.

"I usually do the rough work at home, so it's more convenient for you to communicate with me. Are you smiling with this expression? Your beard is too long, and I can't see your expression at all." As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, Qi Ye, who was holding the water cup and smiling a second ago, felt that he had been hit in the heart. It was too cruel.

Qiao Sheng picked up the shovel, turned around and continued to dig, but her shaking shoulders revealed her giggling. Li Mu was too cruel. Although Qi Ye now had a long beard, his big teeth were so sticky that how could she not know that he was laughing.

After the two of them had a thorough negotiation, they could tell from Li Mu's slightly raised mouth and Qi Ye's listlessness that this was an unequal treaty, and the reasonable conditions of the treaty must be on Qiao Sheng's side.

The three of them kept digging and had a simple lunch in the mine at noon. The meat buns really opened Qi Ye's taste buds, and he ate ten out of twenty.

This is really hard to beat. Li Mu, who used to compete with Lin Haiyang for food, still had the strength to fight. But this time, it was like a vicious dog chasing for food. When Li Mu finished the first meat bun, Qi Ye opposite him had already eaten three and kept wiping the meat juice off his beard with his sleeves.

The fragrant meat bun made him complete the unequal treaty he had just signed with others. Only by eating more could he have the motivation to continue working.

After they filled their backpacks and wrist bags and came out of the mine, they saw that although it was snowing outside, it was still bright. They said goodbye to Qi Ye and agreed to deliver his dinner at the shore of the goat trail he mentioned in the evening. Then the two of them walked towards the shore where their boat was parked.
