Finally, thanks to their hard work and sweat, the six mud bricks were almost completely filled...
Exactly 50, no more, no less...
At this point, nothing else happened. Apart from Qi Xiaoyan and Ye Feng, the other three had already jumped into the pond to cool off...
The sense of accomplishment from the successful casting brought smiles to everyone's faces, and they even started a water fight in the water...
Watching them laugh and play, Qi Xiaoyan on the hillside wore a warm, aunt-like smile…
It's like looking after a child...
"What kind of smile is that? If you want to play, then get off..."
Ye Feng slowly sat down beside her...
Qi Xiaoyan shook her head…
"No, I'm still injured. But seeing them like this makes me very happy, just like when I was a child playing in the orphanage."
What a pity... that place full of memories is about to be demolished...
Ye Feng patted her on the shoulder…
"Then you should work even harder to survive here. Once you win the grand prize, you can naturally save the orphanage."
In this world, money can solve everything.
Qi Xiaoyan nodded…
"Brother Feng, I heard from Xiaojie that you knowingly participated in this game even though you knew it could be fatal, is that right?"
"That's right."
"And who are you doing this for?"
Ye Feng frowned slightly, and that kind face reappeared in his mind...
He never told anyone that he came here for his grandmother's sake...
Because every time it's mentioned, it reminds him of his grandmother lying in the hospital bed, her face pale and haggard, with an oxygen tube attached...
Thinking of this, he quickly shook his head and stood up…
"Of course it's for the most important person in your life. Your brother and Da Xiong both asked you that."
Remember, you want to win the grand prize and achieve your goal.
Never dwell on the past before the game is over, lest you be reminded of painful memories and negatively impact your own and others' mindset.
Don't ask that again next time...
Having said that, before Qi Xiaoyan could reply, he jumped directly into the pond…
Around 4:30 PM...
The five people lit a campfire by the treehouse, and they all sat around it, drying their clothes and shoes...
But at this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on those dark gray mud bricks.
The time to test the results has finally arrived…
With excitement, Ye Feng tapped the square white symbol on it with his knife…
Each one made a crisp "bang" sound...
This indicates that the molten steel has completely solidified…
Ye Feng used a knife to cut open the mud bricks and slowly removed one of the symbols from inside…
As expected, when the mud was brushed aside, a quadrilateral arrow appeared before everyone's eyes...
"Wow! It really happened! Brother Feng, you really did it!"
"I knew it! There's nothing my brother can't do!"
"Brother Feng, you're...too...too awesome!"
Faced with the three people's praise, Ye Feng simply smiled faintly... because upon closer inspection, he realized that the arrowhead was still considerably less sharp than the original...
However, considering he didn't have professional molds, achieving this result far exceeded his expectations...
"It's done, though not perfect, but it can be fixed with a little polishing..."
"We have to thank our great calligrapher for making this so well done..."
Ye Feng smiled and pointed at Qi Xiaoyan…
But Qi Xiaoyan waved her hands repeatedly…
"No, no, this is mainly due to everyone's hard work and sweat. I just added a little something extra."
"hehe…"
Ye Feng chuckled softly…
"Isn't that being modest? But there's nothing wrong with what I said... Everyone has worked hard these past two days."
Tomorrow, I'll treat you all to a good meal..."
Hearing this, Liu Sisi asked with a curious expression:
"Brother Feng, what exactly are you talking about when you say 'real wild game'? Is there any animal that tastes better than wild boar?"
"snort…"
Ye Feng kept it a secret, not intending to reveal the answer...
"You'll find out tomorrow. But if you want to eat wild game, you'll have to finish the job first."
These arrows aren't sharp enough; they need to be sharpened. Let's take all the arrows out first.
Then each person was given 15 stones, and they were to find a stone and start grinding. No one was allowed to eat until they finished grinding.
After saying that, everyone reluctantly began to work. This task was much easier than fanning the stove.
Soon, all the arrows were removed, and Ye Feng checked them; they were basically all up to standard.
With a little polishing, its sharpness shouldn't be much different from the original arrowhead...
And so, everyone kept busy until nightfall…
After dark, they moved the stones back into the treehouse and continued grinding until midnight, when all the arrowheads were finished.
Everyone shook their aching fingers, and without even waiting for their meal, they lay down on the ground in a scattered manner and fell asleep.
There was no way around it; they were living such a fulfilling life every day here.
However, this also shows that mental and physical exhaustion can indeed improve the quality of human sleep.
The night was quiet tonight, and the wild boars did not come to disturb us.
Time flies, and the night passed quickly...
The next day, birds began to chirp and chatter around the treehouse.
Ye Feng opened his eyes…
Today is the day to completely eliminate wild boars. All the efforts we've made before were for this moment.
He immediately woke everyone up and began assigning tasks for the day…
Although most of the work has been completed, the complete arrow has not yet been made.
Moreover, it would be difficult to completely eliminate all wild boars using only arrows.
Therefore, it is necessary to find a way to trap the other wild boars that are trying to escape after shooting the first one.
This provides a brief preparation time for the second or even third loading of arrows.
Ye Feng knew that there were at most seven or eight wild boars left in the herd.
If he and Qi Xiaoyan fired at the same time, they could kill them both with a maximum of three draws of the bow.
But the only way to trap those wild boars is with fire…
After a brief discussion, everyone split up and took action, with Fu Changxiong in charge of cutting down trees and sawing wood.
Qi Xiaojie and Qi Xiaoyan were responsible for collecting pine resin, while Liu Sisi was responsible for collecting pine cones.
There are many pine trees around the camp, and pine cones are a type of structure in pine trees.
Also called pine cones or pinecones, they fall to the ground when ripe...
It is cone-shaped and yellowish-brown, making it an excellent material for sustained combustion.
Ye Feng was planning to make a few torches, to alert the wild boar herd...
Throw these torches along their escape route, and if you're lucky, they might change their escape path.
At worst, it can at least buy some time...
At this moment, Ye Feng was both rendering grease and trimming feathers. (The grease was from leftover grease collected earlier.)
He planned to attach the fins to the arrows first, and then attach the arrowheads last…
