Xu Yi picked up the Engineer Shovel, went to the fence outside, and began digging traps.
This was pure physical work; not only did he need to dig, but also shovel the soil out.
According to Xu Yi’s design, the trap is half a ter wide and half a ter deep. Later, it will be filled with spikes at the bottom, ensuring those who fall in won’t co out.
Lu Ke was peeling the water pipes while boiling hot water.
In this hot weather, Xu Yi still has to do physical work; he definitely needs a lot of water replenishnt.
She also discovered a problem: there was not much salt left.
It has been 7 days since they ca to this world, and the little salt they had used lasted for 7 days, which was considered very economical.
"Xu Yi, we’re out of salt. After I finish with the water pipes, should I go get so seawater to boil?" Lu Ke casually ntioned while handing Xu Yi so water to drink.
She had already finished one of the four wooden materials.
"Boiling salt is less efficient than sun-drying salt. Once the trap is finished, I’ll find so ti to work on it. We still have plenty of fish at ho, so our bodies won’t lack salt for now." Xu Yi grinned at Lu Ke after drinking half a pot of water.
Tasks truly co one after another, and they all need to be addressed promptly; there’s no option to delay them.
"You know how to sun-dry salt?" Lu Ke’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Knowing how to boil salt is one thing, but sun-drying salt is quite impressive.
"I’ve read many peculiar materials for novel writing and vaguely rember so." Xu Yi embarrassedly scratched his nose, reflecting the truth.
However, that was before he himself had experienced the event of crossing and rebirth.
"You’ve written novels too? What’s the na? After the challenge is over, I’ll support you." Lu Ke blinked her eyes brightly at Xu Yi.
She had uncovered another of Xu Yi’s secrets.
First, there was a hunter grandfather, and now he could write novels.
What other unknown past might Xu Yi have?
"Haven’t started writing yet; I crashed Su Yan’s car." Xu Yi grinned, hesitating to ntion his years of writing street fiction, so he simply said he hadn’t started writing.
He thought, once he earned 1 billion yuan, he’d write a book titled "How to Spend Rich Days" or "How I Spent 1 Billion" to pass the ti.
"So, will you write after you go back?" Won love to chat, and she wouldn’t let this opportunity slip to talk with Xu Yi.
"Of course, I’ll write a book on how to spend 1 billion as soon as I get back. I’ll write while spending... haha."
"You’re really bad, readers will surely hate you. You’ve earned 1 billion and are telling them how corrupt you are; they’ll be furious, stomping their feet in anger." Lu Ke said with a smile, thinking just about how to spend 1 billion would allow her to write several books.
"They already envy us, so let’s make them envy us to the fullest." Xu Yi gave a mischievous smile, then inserted the shovel into the soil, tossing the soil onto the open ground outside.
His body was covered in dense beads of sweat, looking very masculine.
Several spots on his back were already sunburned and peeling, which seed quite distressing.
She thought she should make Xu Yi a piece of clothing with the umbrella tree bark. As long as it’s carefully done, it could be quite soft when made into clothes.
"Xu Yi’s physical strength is really impressive. He’s been working for two straight hours without resting."
"He’s been forced into this. Initially, Xu Yi was still a little chubby, but look at Xu Yi now."
"Yeah, his belly’s gone, soon he’ll have an eight-pack abs. Tsk tsk, earning 1 billion and getting a good body, it’s really a big win."
"1 billion? You guys really dare to think big, genuinely think Xu Yi can survive 500 days? I find even 100 days doubtful."
"Why, looking down on our little brother? I bet 1 million that Xu Yi can make it past 100 days. On that day, I’ll reward 1 million directly."
"Sister upstairs, I haven’t had lunch today, how about lending 100 dollars?"
"Anyway, if Xu Yi really writes a book, I’ll definitely go and support it."
The live chat room remained lively.
However, none of this had the slightest bit to do with Xu Yi.
Right now, he only had one word: dig!
Without digging traps around the fence, he won’t feel secure.
Wild beasts won’t listen to reason.
In their eyes, Xu Yi and Lu Ke were like a fine al or several.
Maybe, they’d co back again tonight.
For a good night’s sleep, Xu Yi couldn’t slack off.
Lu Ke wasn’t idling either; she managed to process four wooden materials in one morning.
"Xu Yi, I’ve finished processing all four wooden materials." When she ca out, Lu Ke glanced over; Xu Yi had already dug a trap over 4 ters long, which was quite efficient.
"Alright, then start cooking lunch. I’ll go fetch water." Xu Yi wiped his sweat and climbed out of the pit. Just in ti, he could take a break for now.
"Okay, call if you need help." Lu Ke cheerfully said, feeling she had accomplished a big task today.
If the water reached ho, it would be a lot more convenient.
"No need, it’s not too difficult." With that, Xu Yi went under the eaves, cut a few sections of umbrella tree bark for use as ropes, and then carried the four ’water pipes’ to the water source.
After cutting a few small trees, he tied two together to make a stand, adjusted the height and angle, and the first ’water pipe’ was set up.
The water flowed smoothly through the pipe to the end, and then to the second... third.
By the third pipe, the water had already reached the camp.
"The water’s here, Xu Yi, the water’s here." Through the fence, Lu Ke excitedly shouted, holding a ladle.
The remaining water pipe was used to lower the water outlet; Xu Yi planned to make a high platform.
Considering kneeling to wash clothes or vegetables isn’t good for the waist.
Most of these chores were done by Lu Ke, so Xu Yi felt he needed to protect Lu Ke’s waist.
Otherwise, having children later would be a tough ordeal.
Of course, there wasn’t ti for that right now. The primary task is the trap. Other work has to make way for the trap first.
After all, they had food reserves, including dozens of dried fish.
No need to worry about food; that’s why he has the energy to dig traps.
Watching the clear spring water hit the rocks Xu Yi brought back, Lu Ke’s smile was sweet.
Bathing at night would be much more convenient, and they wouldn’t have to think about saving water.
The water flow was sufficient to et their daily needs.
Lu Ke already thought that once the new earth kiln was ready, she’d make more large water jars.
