Wilderness: After the college entrance examination, I got the strongest survival system

The sound of crackling rain fell all around, and the rainwater flowed everywhere, but the terrain around the cabin was so high that the water would not accumulate here at all.

Li Yingjie lay on the bamboo bed, listening to the voices outside comfortably, chatting with Lin Xiaoying without saying a word.

In the heavy rain, the two did not continue to process the clay, but lay there chatting and resting.

The heavy rain lasted for more than half an hour.

After the clouds passed, the sky soon cleared up, and the sun was particularly dazzling behind the rain.

However, this heavy rain took away most of the heat, and the surrounding area became very cool.

Li Yingjie came out first to check the roof.

As expected, the mud on top was washed off a lot.

However, Li Yingjie thought that all the mud would be washed away in a heavy rain, but it didn't happen now.

The mud had been drying on the roof for several days, and it had become dry and hard. The rain only washed away the upper layer, and the roof did not leak at all.

And their cabin has two floors inside and outside.

The roof also has two layers.

This time, the upper roof was not leaking, and the lower one was not a problem at all.

However, Li Yingjie mixed some mud and refilled the part that had been washed away.

While making mud, Li Yingjie noticed the trap they set up, and suddenly felt dizzy.

The trap has been washed away by the rain!

They just set up a layer of thin branches on top of the trap, spread a layer of leaves on the branches, sprinkled a thin layer of soil on the leaves, and put some dry grass on the soil as a camouflage.

Such a structure itself is not strong and cannot resist rain at all.

He walked to the edge of the trap and found that there was still a shallow layer of water inside, and the branches and leaves had fallen into it, making a mess.

Li Yingjie was speechless for a moment.

This trap is not easy to maintain. It is full of sharp bamboos. If you are not careful when you go down, you may be able to impale yourself in the opposite direction.

"Forget it, don't clean it up yet, wait until the surrounding water dries up."

Li Yingjie took a look and decided to put it here for the time being and do other things first.

After the rain, the surrounding area will be cool for a while, but soon, as the sun shines, the water on the ground evaporates, and the surrounding area will become hot and humid.

So cool only for a moment.

Li Yingjie repaired the roof and returned to the cabin.

It was still midday, and the sun was going to be strong for the next two or three hours, and it was going to get muggy in the jungle.

During this time period, the water tank can be made in the cabin.

Lin Xiaoying was fiddling with the mud to make brick embryos.

They don't need very neat bricks, as long as they have a shape that is convenient for them to build a slightly larger pottery kiln, so Li Yingjie also thinks that the bricks of different sizes made by Lin Xiaoying can be used.

"On these brick embryos, some uniform holes can be pierced with a stick, which makes it easier to dry and burn."

As he spoke, Li Yingjie took a stick and poked six holes evenly on a brick embryo.

When Lin Xiaoying saw it, she immediately understood what he meant, and then pierced the other brick embryos with holes.

Sitting next to Lin Xiaoying, Li Yingjie picked up the clay that was finer in removing impurities.

"Are you going to make a water tank?" Lin Xiaoying asked immediately.

Li Yingjie nodded.

He thought for a while and said: "There is a very convenient way to make pottery. I didn't think of it when I made it for the first time, so the pots and basins were all made by hand, and the production was very rough. Now this water tank uses my nearest pottery. Do it the way you remember!"

As he spoke, he kneaded the clay again, carefully picking out the impurities inside.

"The new method, isn't it pinching by hand? What method did you use when you learned it?" Lin Xiaoying asked curiously.

Li Yingjie smiled: "When my grandfather taught me, it was at home. There are several runners in my house. Through the rapid rotation of the runners, the blank can be directly drawn into shape."

"oh oh!"

Lin Xiaoying suddenly remembered that she had seen this method somewhere before.

The craftsmen put a ball of clay on the wheel, and when the wheel is turned, the clay can be transformed into various shapes in their hands, which is very powerful.

But there is no wheel in the wilderness.

Li Yingjie added: "I used to have molds at home, and I can easily make clay pots or basins with molds!"

Lin Xiaoying nodded.

This method can't be used either, because there is no mold in their home in the wilderness.

"Then what is the method you are thinking of now?" Lin Xiaoying asked directly.

"This method is called the clay strip pan construction method, which is an early method of making pottery, and the specific method is also very simple."

With that said, Li Yingjie first made a chassis out of clay.

Because I want to make a large water tank, the chassis is about the same size as the bottom of the washbasin.

Then, he kneaded the clay into long strips and stacked them layer by layer from bottom to top. When the clay strips were stacked one by one, they could be made into the shape of a water tank.

"Come on, don't make brick embryos yet, try this, I can teach you by hand!"

Li Yingjie bit down on the three words "hand in hand".

Lin Xiaoying gave him a blank look.

However, she was really interested, so she put down another ball of clay in her hand, and began to roll up strips of clay, imitating Li Yingjie's appearance and building upwards.

The volume of the water tank was too large, so they didn't dare to do it too fast. They waited for the clay below to harden before continuing to add mud strips to the top.

It took half an afternoon to make a water tank with a diameter of more than 30 centimeters and a height of about half a meter.

Li Yingjie cut out a smooth piece of bamboo, soaked the surface of the mud embryo with water, and carefully trimmed it with this piece of bamboo.

After smoothing the inside and outside surfaces, the tank is fully formed.

Li Yingjie carried it carefully and put it outside to dry.

Lin Xiaoying looked at the remaining clay, thought for a while and said:
"There are still a lot of these carefully selected clays left, let's make another clay pot, which can be used to put things in the future."

Li Yingjie nodded, "No problem!"

The two started working, and soon made another clay pot with a diameter of more than 20 centimeters and a height of more than 30 centimeters.

Lin Xiaoying was very interested in this method of making pottery, so she made two more cups,
Next, all those brick embryos were made, and they were all placed outside to dry.

After the water tank is heated, they will have something to hold water for bathing in the future. This water tank is filled with water, which is definitely enough for one bath.

The clay pots made can be used to hold things, and the water cups can also replace the current bamboo cups for drinking.

After all the clay was used up, Li Yingjie went out of the cabin.

At this time, the sun is no longer so scorching, and the surrounding temperature has dropped a little.

Li Yingjie looked at the sky outside, it seemed that it should not rain anymore, so he asked:
"Would you like rabbit or fish tonight?"

Lin Xiaoying glanced at the rabbit in the cage, thought for a while and asked:

"Is it troublesome to catch fish? If not, just eat the fish. You can keep the rabbits for later."

"Then eat fish!" Li Yingjie smiled.

Catching fish is not troublesome at all. You can easily catch two or three fish in the water with a twig basket.

"You tie the door and hide in the house first, I will be back in about half an hour!"

With that said, Li Yingjie carried the wattle basket on his back and took the engineering shovel.

Lin Xiaoying told him to pay attention to safety, and then watched him trot forward.

She went back into the cabin, but only fastened the outer door.
