"Burp! I'm so full." Yun Xin burped and patted her stomach. This was the most filling and rich meal she had ever eaten in the wilderness.
"Let's take a break." After Chu Feng had eaten his fill, he sat lazily and did not want to move.
"Chu Feng, what should I do later? Do you still want smoked fish?" Yun Xin's small hands picked up the remains of the fish bones.
"You stay here and guard the bamboo cage. Every half an hour, collect the bamboo cage, and then process the fish and smoke them.”
Chu Feng stood up and drew a sundial on the beach, saying,""The time is divided according to this. Each division is about 15 minutes.”
"Understood. Leave it to me." Yun Xin listened carefully.
"I need to bring more bamboo back to complete the shelter.”Chu Feng turned his head and looked at the pile of wood not far away. There was a lot of bamboo that could be used.
The number of herring caught was decreasing. According to the knowledge in his mind, Chu Feng's harvest would be less and less in the future, so he could only change his target to hunt.
He wanted to solve the problem of the water source of the shelter while he had enough smoked fish to support himself. Then, he could build a new shelter while hunting.
"Yes, yes, I know." Yun Xin nodded obediently.
"Now that the sun has risen, remember not to go out to the beach to bask in the sun. Otherwise, your skin will get sunburnt in a few minutes.”Chu Feng warned.
"I will be careful." Yun Xin said with a smile.
"Gulp…"
Chu Feng took the bamboo tube that was filled with water and drank a mouthful of water. He stood up and walked towards the pile of wood. He wanted to collect the bamboo inside.
He was collecting bamboo, especially those that were thicker. This kind of water would be more abundant, and the bamboo walls would be thicker.
"This bamboo can be used to make a bamboo bow. It should be quite powerful.”Chu Feng fixed his eyes on a bamboo stick as thick as a thigh and tapped it with his finger. The sound was rather dull.
"The freshness is not bad. It was probably brought here by the seawater after being cut off for a few days.”
Chu Feng decided to take the bamboo back to the shelter. He smiled and said,""It's a good material for making bows. I'll try making it tonight.”
"Kacha kacha…"
Chu Feng used a chopper to cut off the extra branches, tied the bamboo with a rope, and started to drag it towards the camp.
It was very difficult to make a turn in the jungle while dragging bamboo. If he had not opened up a path ahead of time, he would not have been able to drag many bundles of bamboo back to the camp in a day.
Forty minutes later.
Chu Feng returned to the camp and threw the bamboo away. He immediately entered the shelter to check. He found that the smoked fish had not been touched by wild beasts. Then, he added firewood to the fire and smoked the herring.
If the herring was to be stored for a long time, the fish had to be smoked thoroughly.
"I almost forgot to feed the rabbit.”Chu Feng caught a glimpse of the two white rabbits in the wooden cage from the corner of his eye and stuffed a handful of wild grass into it.
He looked at the wild rabbit and licked the corner of his mouth."Eat more and grow fatter. It would be even better if you give birth to a nest or two of rabbits.”
The wilderness lacked everything except weeds. As long as two rabbits could give birth to little rabbits, it would be a good thing for the two of them.
Chu Feng came out of the shelter and looked at the bamboo. He sighed and said,""We still have to make a few more trips."
He filled the wooden bucket with water with a bamboo tube, then went into the forest again and set off for the beach.
In the following time, Chu Feng came back from the beach and the shelter to carry the bamboo. It took him more than an hour to bring back the bamboo.
If it was someone who had no patience, they might have given up long ago. They would rather go to the dangerous pool to get water every day than suffer.
Chu Feng had also considered this problem, but when he thought of how the young girl wanted him to fetch water alone, what if he met a bear drinking water at the water source one day?
Alright, this thought had just appeared when Chu Feng threw it out of his mind.
"Hu hu hu…"
Chu Feng once again returned to the camp. He was half-bent over, his hands resting on his knees as he panted heavily. Sweat trickled down his face.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the bamboo on the ground. He said in a hoarse voice,"Probably enough."
"It's getting late."
Chu Feng rested for about ten minutes before he got up and went to the beach. He had to bring the girl back quickly, or it would be dark soon.
When he arrived at the seaside, he saw the girl packing up the smoked fish and tying five herring into a pile with a rope.
"Yun Xin, how's the harvest?" Chu Feng asked curiously.
"Are you done?"
Yun Xin's body stiffened slightly as she turned around and quickly handed over the bamboo tube containing water.
The girl's face was gloomy." There are so few fish today. I only caught twenty-five fish, twenty less than yesterday."”
"It's okay. It's impossible to harvest so many fish every day.”Chu Feng took the bamboo tube and comforted her.
"Chu Feng, did I do it wrong? Otherwise, how could they have caught twenty less herring with only a day's difference?”Yun Xin pouted in disappointment.
She thought that it was her fault. The herring was so easy to catch yesterday, and there were three bamboo cages, but she caught more than forty herring.
And today? Five bamboo cages only caught twenty-five herring. The difference in numbers caused the girl to find the reason from herself.
"No, it's just that the herring schools are leaving.”
Chu Feng knew that the young girl was being stubborn and explained,""The spawning season of the herring is almost over. In the future, we will catch fewer and fewer herrings. We might not be able to catch a single herring in a day, and we can only catch other fish.”
"Is that so?" Yun Xin was a little stunned. She stared blankly at Chu Feng's face as if she wanted to see something.
"It's true. I'm not lying to you." Chu Feng nodded heavily.
In fact, he didn't expect the herring school to retreat so quickly. The herring caught in the five bamboo cages was only half of yesterday's herring. Would they be able to catch less herring tomorrow?
"Phew…that's good. I thought it was because of me.”Yun Xin was obviously relieved, and the disappointment on her face immediately disappeared.
"Pack up and get ready to go home. It's getting dark.”Chu Feng hurriedly urged.
"Good!" Yun Xin happily packed up.
