Chapter 286 Star's Holographic Deserted Island Life 31
He Fei raised his head and shouted to Tang Xiaofeng who was busy working, "Tang Xiaofeng, I'm going to split these bamboos in half now. You will be responsible for removing all the bamboo nodes in the middle later!"
Tang Xiaofeng kept moving his hands while responding, "Do you even need to tell me? Even if you don't tell me, don't I know how to do it myself? Stop nagging!"
He Fei skillfully picked up a sharp knife and began to carefully cut the bamboo. Before long, he had successfully split two-thirds of the bamboo in half.
As for the remaining part of the bamboo, He Fei did not continue to split it. Instead, he found a strong wooden stick. He inserted the stick into the bamboo and pushed it back and forth vigorously to open up all the bamboo nodes inside.
Tang Xiaofeng and the others were still working hard, but their progress seemed a little slower than He Fei's. Seeing this, He Fei decided to put down his unfinished work and turned to look for more useful materials. After a while, he came back with many thick branches in the shape of a "human".
After seeing that they had finished all the work, they tied up all the bamboos and transported the processed bamboos to the small waterfall.
After He Fei studied the waterfall, his gaze fixed on a spot with a huge drop. He turned and said, "Tang Xiaofeng, I'm going to climb to the other side of the waterfall now. Please hand me the bamboo later."
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaofeng nodded without hesitation and replied softly, "Go." After receiving the response, He Fei did not hesitate at all. He used his hands and feet to climb towards the target location.
Not long after, He Fei successfully reached the place with a huge drop. He carefully stood firm, then turned around and shouted to Tang Xiaofeng who was still standing there, "Can you pass the bamboo to me!"
Hearing the shout, Tang Xiaofeng hurriedly picked up the bamboo with both hands, walked quickly to He Fei, and handed the bamboo steadily to He Fei.
After taking the bamboo, He Fei did not dare to delay and quickly placed it under the impact of the rushing water. Because the water flow was too fast, the bamboo began to sway slightly the moment it entered the water and could be washed away at any time.
He Fei reacted quickly. He quickly grasped the bamboo with both hands and buried it underwater little by little.
Just when he was about to ask Tang Xiaofeng to carry a few stones to him, he was pleasantly surprised to find that Tang Xiaofeng had already understood what he meant and came to him with a pile of stones.
He Fei picked up a larger stone from Tang Xiaofeng's arms and pressed it hard on the bamboo, trying to fix it firmly to prevent the bamboo from moving under the action of the water flow.
Li Bai and others at the other end of the waterfall were also busy. They also brought a lot of stones and worked together to compact and fix the bottom of the bamboo.
They connected the bamboos one by one to form a long water pipe. When connecting the bamboo pipes, they had to ensure that the joints were tight and leak-proof, and they were tied and fixed with natural materials such as bamboo strips and rattan.
In order to make the bamboo more stable and durable, they used thick "human"-shaped branches to block the tripod supports at regular intervals, especially tying them to the "human"-shaped tripod and fixing them at the joints.
In this way, even in places with complex terrain and steep slopes, the bamboo tubes can steadily lead water down without being blown down by the wind or buried by soil and rocks.
After some effort, they finally succeeded in diverting the water to the shelter.
As the water flows into the pool within the stone wall, it creates a clear, melodious sound. Over time, the water level in the pool gradually rises until it reaches two-thirds of its height. At this point, the excess water begins to overflow from the pool, flowing along the stone wall into the pit outside. This design cleverly solves the water drainage problem while also ensuring an ample water supply for the shelter.
Xia Yu asked with a puzzled look on his face, "If we plan to kill the fish or process the animals we've hunted, won't that pollute the water in this pond? And if the blood flows into the pit outside, filling the air with a strong smell of blood, wouldn't that attract attacks from other prey?"
Jian Bai responded without hesitation, "Didn't you notice that the boss dug a canal next to the pit outside yesterday? After we catch fish or kill prey, we can clean them outside before bringing them back. No one's telling us to do it inside the shelter. Besides, as long as we can successfully build that stone wall, larger prey won't be able to get in."
He Fei asked, "Xiaoyu, where is Jiajia?"
Xia Yu said, "My sister-in-law said she made a few traps the day before yesterday. Now let's go see if she caught any rabbits."
Zhang Xiaojia was in the rabbit's activity area and saw five traps with three live rabbits. He tied them up and threw them into the backpack. He was depressed because all three were female rabbits. He continued to change positions and set a few more traps.
Zhang Xiaojia followed the reader. She thought that she would make a holographic game when she returned, and create the plants that she and He Fei first saw on the island to subvert everyone's three views.
Coming under a tall and straight chestnut tree, I looked up at the densely packed, plump chestnuts on the tree, and couldn't help but put a big cross on the so-called holographic setting.
The chestnut tree in front of us has only been growing for five years, but judging from the number of its fruits, it must weigh at least fifty kilograms!
How is this possible? In reality, even if a chestnut tree is properly cared for, it can only produce about 20 kilograms of fruit at most.
However, since I'm already here, I don't care about it anymore.
Zhang Xiaojia began to look around and finally found a long branch. Holding the branch, she carefully approached the chestnut tree, then waited for the right moment and swung it hard. There was a "crackling" sound, and plump chestnuts fell down one after another.
Zhang Xiaojia was so excited that she quickly bent down and carefully searched for each chestnut. In a short while, she had collected all the scattered chestnuts and put them into the bamboo basket behind her.
Zhang Xiaojia returned to the camp with three rabbits in his hands, a basket of 50 kilograms of rabbits on his back, and some edible wild vegetables.
Everyone in front of him was clutching their stomachs, their faces twisted, looking extremely distressed. Zhang Xiaojia's heart tightened upon seeing this, and without hesitation, she rushed to He Fei's side. She began to carefully feel his pulse, her lips twitching slightly.
One by one, she carefully took the pulse of each person, and Zhang Xiaojia finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was a blessing in disguise that everyone was slightly poisoned by ginkgo nuts.
