The dinner ended peacefully and warmly. The two of them got busy.
Yun Xin tidied up the pot and chopsticks. She raised her head and blinked her eyelashes as she looked around. She said softly,"Chu Feng, there really aren't any mosquitoes left.”
"The effect of the insect repellent seems to be quite good.”Chu Feng looked around but did not see any mosquitoes.
Otherwise, like yesterday, there would be many mosquitoes circling in the shelter, biting people whenever they had the chance.
"That's great. You don't have to scratch it anymore.”Yun Xin lowered her head and looked at her leg. There were a few red marks on it, all from mosquito bites.
"In the future, carry an insect repellent with you. No mosquitoes will be able to get close to you.”Chu Feng pointed at a corner of the shelter. There were still a few insect repellent pills on the stone.
"Alright, I'll sew the cloth bag first." Yun Xin took out a wooden needle and thread and began her work for the night.
Chu Feng waited for the girl to finish cutting the cloth with the chopper, then he took the chopper and started to process the wood.
Tonight, he had to make a wooden bucket first. He had to go to the beach tomorrow, so he needed a container to hold water. As for the bark rope, he could make it tomorrow.
"No cracks." Chu Feng chose the middle section of the wood and made a mark with a chopper. It was about half a meter long.
"Huff huff…"
Chu Feng let out a sigh of relief and began to chop the wood with a chopper, preparing to cut out the uncracked section.
"Bang bang bang…"
He slashed left and right in a 'V' shape. This way, it was easier to cut through the wide wood. Otherwise, it would be difficult to cut the deeper the wood was.
Chu Feng was chopping rhythmically. It took him some time to chop a piece of wood that was more than thirty centimeters thick.
After cutting one side, he turned to the other side and started to cut again. He used the side of the shovel saw knife in the center and started to saw.
"Kacha kacha…"
Even if the temperature dropped at night, he would still sweat if he worked too hard.
"Hu hu hu…"
Chu Feng controlled his rhythm and didn't want to sweat too much. Otherwise, he would have taken a bath in the evening for nothing.
After more than ten minutes, the wood was finally cut off. All that was left was to cut the other side.
Another ten minutes later.
"Done." Chu Feng shook his sore wrist and looked at the half-meter-long piece of wood.
Now, he had to deal with the uneven cross-section on both sides. Both sides had to be flattened. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to stand on the ground.
"Bang bang bang…"
Chu Feng cut slowly with his knife, creating a rhythm to accompany the howling animals outside.
The jungle at night was really terrifying. The strange cries of all kinds of animals made it seem as if they were in a 'ghost world'.
Half an hour later, the wood was flattened by Chu Feng. The half-meter-tall wood was placed vertically like a wooden stool.
"Are we going to start chiseling wood?"
Yun Xin stopped sewing and rubbed her sore eyes. She said softly,"Do you want to rest for a while?"
The bonfire was the source of light, and the flames would dance with the flow of the air, making one's eyes more tired.
"I'm not tired. I'll take advantage of the fact that I'm not sleepy yet.”The corner of Chu Feng's mouth curled up slightly. He took the sharp tip of the shovel and began to drill into the center of the wood.
"Eh? This works too?" Yun Xin said in surprise.
"At the beginning, you can use an engineer shovel to drill a bit, but when you drill a little deeper, you can't drill anymore.”Chu Feng explained.
The shovel prepared by the production team was about 20 centimeters wide, leaving a wall of five or six centimeters thick for the wooden barrel.
"I see." Yun Xin nodded her head, seemingly understanding.
"Kacha kacha…"
Chu Feng drilled for a few minutes. The shovel had more contact with the inner wall of the wood, and the friction became bigger. He could no longer twist the shovel, so he could only pull it out.
Then, under the girl's dumbfounded gaze, Chu Feng used the shovel to shovel a piece of red charcoal and threw it into the hole in the wood.
"Chu Feng, won't you burn the wood?”Yun Xin said worriedly.
"I won't." Chu Feng shook his head and explained softly,""As long as the wood doesn't start a fire, it'll be fine. We just have to clean it up before the wooden wall is charred.”
He had learned this method from watching some videos. Someone had used this method to burn through wood and make a stone axe.
Now, he could use it to burn wood to make a wooden bucket. It also saved him a lot of effort.
The main reason was that he did not have a chisel. If he used a stone as a chisel, he was afraid that it would crack the wood. Moreover, it was very difficult to chisel the bottom of a half-meter-tall wooden barrel.
"Chu Feng, can you make a few wooden bowls like this?”Yun Xin's eyes lit up.
A girl was in charge of the family and considered the family expenses. The boy was focused on hunting. This was the family lifestyle in the past, and it was the same for the two of them now.
"Sure, you can try making a few when you have time.”Chu Feng indeed had this plan.
In the future, when the supplies were abundant, household cutlery must be complete. Life must always have a sense of ritual.
"Leave the wooden bowl to me." Yun Xin did not want to distract Chu Feng too much.
"Alright, I'll leave it to you." Chu Feng chuckled. In the future, when he had more free time at night, he was afraid that he would have nothing to do.
"The wood is emitting thick smoke." Yun Xin pointed at the wood and shouted in panic.
"It's alright." Chu Feng calmly found two wooden sticks and took out the charcoal from the wood.
Then, he took a chopper and scraped the charred part out. This way, the wood was dug deeper.
