Food King [Interstellar]

But Luo Xun didn't go hunting right away. After eating, he asked Jiang Tang for a Swiss Army Knife, and started cutting down trees with a laser knife.After cutting down one tree after another, they also specially selected small trees with a diameter of only ten centimeters or so.

Jiang Tang asked him, "What are you cutting trees for?"

"I'm going to build a house," Rosen said.

Jiang Tang was startled: "Building a wooden house?"

"Yeah. Go and choose a tree, about the same size as this one, with a straight trunk. Make a mark after you choose, and I'll cut it down." Luo Xun arranged for Jiang Tang.

"Obey!" Jiang Tang was overjoyed. He didn't expect that they could build a house by themselves. It should be said that he didn't expect Luo Xun to build a house. The wooden house was much stronger than the shack he built.

The trees in the forest are almost never crooked, because if they are crooked, there will be no living space and they will not be able to survive. Jiang Tang only needs to select the ones with the right size.One of the two selected trees, and the other cut them. Fortunately, cutting trees with a laser knife is not particularly laborious and efficient. Nearly a hundred trees were brought down in one morning.At noon, the two continued to work after eating some roasted sweet potatoes. Jiang Tang was in charge of measuring the size, and Luo Xun was in charge of sectioning and chopping branches. After a whole day of work, the wood was finally ready.

After finishing the wood, Luo Xun asked Jiang Tang: "Where do you think the house is better?"

Jiang Tang looked at Luo Xun: "Is the injury on your body not a problem?" After a day of physical work, don't open the wound again.

Luo Xun lifted the clothes and took a look: "It's not in the way, it's not ripped."

Jiang Tang was relieved: "Let's build the house next to the forest, so as not to rain and flood."

After gesturing for a long time, the two finally settled on the address, facing the lake and facing the mountains and forests.As for how to build it, it was Luo Xun's idea. Try to use a method that the two of them can cope with. Dig holes on the ground and bury pillars as foundations and supports. Wooden wedges fix all the wood, and it can be done with the strength of only two people.

Jiang Tang felt that Luo Xun's plan was more feasible, but the biggest problem now was that there was no tool for digging holes.When cooking at night, Jiang Tang came up with a way to use a wooden shovel, at least more reliable than digging holes with bare hands.Luo Xun said: "Tomorrow morning I will go to the escape pod to have a look and get some fragments of the escape pod to make tools." It was still Luo Xun who was more thoughtful, a metal shovel is much easier to use than wood.

That night, Rosen used a parachute to prop up a tent, and the two took turns keeping watch and spent the night.Jiang Tang couldn't help being a little excited when he thought that if the wooden house was built, he wouldn't have to arrange people to light a bonfire and watch the night, and he could sleep comfortably until dawn.

When I woke up the next day, I was surrounded by thick fog, probably because it had rained the day before yesterday, the humidity in the forest was heavy, and the temperature difference between morning and evening was large, so fog formed.Rosen took the laser gun and the Swiss Army knife, and said hello: "I'll go first, you prepare breakfast."

"Is it okay to have such a thick fog? Be careful not to get lost." Jiang Tang said worriedly.

"Don't worry, I will mark every tree, it will be fine, just make breakfast." Luo Xun didn't pay attention to the thick fog at all.

Jiang Tang watched the other party quickly disappear into the milky white fog, touched his nose, and turned to do his own work. He dug a few sweet potatoes for breakfast.Cotton Candy was still thinking about the simmered chicken that he ate yesterday, and he got another meaty chick from somewhere, put it on a leaf, and wrapped it with his claws, signaling Jiang Tang to simmer for it.

Looking at it, Jiang Tang couldn't laugh or cry: "The bird you caught is too small to be used. Go and get a big one. I'll roast this one for you to eat."

Cotton Candy couldn't understand what he said, so he didn't allow Jiang Tang to skewer it with branches and insisted on wrapping it with leaves and simmering.Jiang Tang still didn't let it get it, it jumped around the fire in dissatisfaction, and protested "chirp chirp chirp".When it was about to be roasted, Jiang Tang wrapped the bird in leaves and threw it into the fire. After a while, he pulled it out and handed it to the marshmallow. The bird is still singing proudly.

Jiang Tang finished roasting the sweet potatoes, but he didn't see Luo Xun coming back. He had no tools at hand, so he couldn't do anything else. He could only move wood, which was very heavy when wet. Fortunately, they picked small trees, and each section was cut into four meters. Left and right, Jiang Tang could barely carry it.Jiang Tang had never done this kind of physical work in two lifetimes. He comforted himself that he could exercise his body, and when the house was built, his muscles would almost be exercised.

The dense fog around gradually receded, and the lake surface gradually revealed its true face, and the lake water was also recovering its clarity. In two days, the water should be usable.Jiang Tang put down a piece of wood, and suddenly heard a huge sound of water coming from the lake, and a melodious cry of "Oh-oh-oh--". one slice.Jiang Tang was greatly surprised. He turned his head and saw that a group of huge black creatures were floating on the surface of the lake shrouded in light gauze, neighing like a singing party.

Marshmallow was playing on a tree next to it. Hearing the cry, she jumped down from the tree, climbed onto Jiang Tang's shoulder, and curled up in the socket of his shoulder, motionless.Jiang Tang's scalp was also numb from the screams, which was simply too shocking.He thought of the whales on the earth. Could it be that there are also whales in this lake?Such a large group of guys, what are they going to do together.

When Luo Xun came back, the voice was still ringing in his ears, and it was still a little harsh after listening for a long time. He frowned and asked, "What's the voice?"

Jiang Tang pointed to the lake: "Look."

Luo Xun raised his neck to look at the lake, hey, a group of huge monsters were singing up to the sky on the lake: "Is this what you saw the day before yesterday?"

Jiang Tang nodded: "It should be. I didn't expect there to be so many." There are so many large animals in this lake, and it's really strange that those fish still have room to live.The lake may be very deep, and it may be connected to another lake or a river.

Luo Xun put the things he brought back on the ground, and said, "I'll put a wooden handle on these later, and then we can dig the foundation." Jiang Tang found that the things he brought back were all cut into shovel and hoe shapes, and couldn't help but Some surprises.

After breakfast, the two began to get busy.After selecting the location, they dug four deep pits with shovels transformed from fragments of the escape pod. In each pit, three long pillars were buried at precise distances, two of which could fit a piece of wood in the middle, and put the wood into it one by one. After stacking, the wooden wall is built up, and it is only necessary to fasten the columns as the pillars.Due to the lack of chisels and the trouble of using wooden wedges, this method of breaking them into parts is quick and easy, and the most important thing is to save labor.Even so, it still took a lot of effort for them to put the wood on top. Thanks to Luo Xun's tall stature, he could put the wood up with one lift of his arms, but it also made him very tired.

After working all day, I finally finished two walls.The large animals in the lake yelled all day long as if they were cheering for them. Jiang Tang guessed that it was their mating season, and the male creatures were attracting their mates.Until the night, these animals didn't stop. They slept between the two walls at night, because they were too tired during the day, and they didn't take turns to watch the night. Luo Xun let Jiang Tang sleep inside, and he slept outside. The sound on the lake rang all night, but it failed to wake them up.

Fortunately, nothing happened overnight, and when he woke up the next morning, his ears were suddenly quiet. Jiang Tang looked at the lake, and those big guys had disappeared.When Jiang Tang went to wash the sweet potatoes, he found something strange about the water in the lake. He held it up and took a look, it seemed to be a little yellow, not the yellow turbidity with sediment, but the color diluted with blood and water. When he smelled it, it was really a little bloody. taste.Marshmallow suddenly screamed nervously. Jiang Tang followed the sound of Marshmallow and looked over. There was a big black monster lying on the shore not far from them. Jiang Tang quickly backed away in fright: " Lawson, look, that guy has landed."

Hearing this, Luo Xun threw down the wood in his hand, and drew out the laser gun pinned to his trouser waist. He stood beside Jiang Tang and looked at it for a while: "Are you sure it's alive?"

Jiang Tang breathed a sigh of relief: "You said it was dead?"

Luo Xun walked over slowly with a gun in hand, and then shot at that thing. There was no reaction at all, and he turned to Jiang Tang and said, "It's dead."

Jiang Tang plucked up his courage to get closer, and saw that this thing didn't look like a whale, it was just a color, with a big head and a small body, and a huge mouth. Why did the lake turn yellow when I came over? I'm afraid it was stained with its blood.Luo Xun was so bold that he approached it, stabbed it in with a Swiss army knife, turned his head and asked Jiang Tang, "Do you want to taste some of its meat?"

Jiang Tang waved his hand quickly: "No, no, let's eat sweet potatoes." He is not interested in this thing at all.Jiang Tang washed the sweet potatoes in a hurry, and then threw them into the fire to make a fire for cooking. Because the lake water was too dirty, they hadn't drank water for two or three days. It was stained red with blood, and it seemed that I still couldn't drink it today.

Today, there is no need to dig pits and columns, and the speed is much faster than yesterday. They completed the remaining two walls and the roof. The front wall is a bit more troublesome, and doors and windows need to be left. It's all put together.It takes two people three days to build a wooden house, which is considered efficient.

Jiang Tang crossed his hips, looked at the house he had worked so hard to build with satisfaction, and thought in his heart that if he installed the doors and windows tomorrow, and built a bed and table, the family would be complete: "Luo Xun, tonight you What do you want to eat?" He turned his head to look for Luo Xun's figure, only to find that he was sitting on the ground leaning against the wall with his eyes closed, his face a little pale.

Jiang Tang hurried over: "Luo Xun, what's wrong with you?"

Luo Xun's face was pale, his lips were dry and bloodless, and there were beads of sweat on his face. He opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Tang, and smiled weakly: "It's okay."

Jiang Tang looked down and saw him pressing the wound with his hand, and moved his hand away to see that it was stained with blood: "The wound opened again?"

Rosen didn't speak again.Jiang Tang was a little worried. It seemed that the wound was torn from the exhaustion of the past two days: "I'll boil water for you to clean, and then give you medicine."

Jiang Tang helped Luo Xun into the wooden house to lie down, and hurriedly started a fire to boil water.After cleaning and applying the medicine, Jiang Tang realized that the anti-inflammatory medicine was running out, and he could only use it this time. What should I do tomorrow? Where can I find the medicine?He gave Luo Xun good medicine, reached out and touched his forehead, and it started to feel a little hot.Jiang Tang couldn't help feeling a little flustered, but he must get better.

Serve Luo Xun well, the sky is already dark, and their dinner has not yet been settled.Jiang Tang hurried to find something to make dinner. He went to the edge of the forest to dig sweet potatoes. Maybe he dug too much in the past two days, so he couldn't find it for a while.He checked the pot, and found that he had eaten up all the fruits picked in the past two days, and there was not a single one left.He remembered that the nutrition package seemed to be still there, so he hurried to search the bag, but couldn't find any, maybe he lost it when it rained and moved.

Jiang Tang took the fishing rod and went fishing. Usually, he could catch fish in just a few minutes, but today, when it was dark, not a single fish came up. Jiang Tang guessed that this might have something to do with those huge creatures.what to do?I'm going to be hungry tonight.It doesn't matter if you are hungry, but Luo Xun is still a patient, and he has been busy all day. How can he resist if he doesn't eat?Looking at the dead animals by the lake, Jiang Tang flicked on a flashlight and mustered up the courage to walk over, gritted his teeth, and swung his knife down.

Fortunately, even after a whole day, the thing has not spoiled, the meat is still fresh, and there is still blood oozing out, so it should not be completely dead.Jiang Tang's heart was pounding, he took the piece of meat and hurried back, fetched water from the lake, chopped the meat, and cooked a pot of soup.After being boiled, it smells very fragrant, and the soup is as thick as milk. Jiang Tang mustered up the courage to taste a little soup. The taste is so delicious that he has never tasted it before, and it is still a bit sticky, which should be rich in collagen.He made some marshmallows, but this guy also ate it very happily, and asked Jiang Tang for it with a bowl after licking the soup.

Jiang Tang woke up Luo Xun: "Luo Xun, get up and eat."

Luo Xun had a low-grade fever and had no appetite, but he knew he had to eat something.With the help of Jiang Tang, he got up, took a sip in a daze with the bowl, and found that the food tasted very good tonight, so he couldn't help but drink a few more sips, and quickly finished the soup for the night.Seeing his appetite, Jiang Tang said, "I'll get you another bowl."

Luo Xun didn't refuse, and drank another bowl before falling asleep.Jiang Tang himself also ate two large bowls. After eating, he lit a bonfire at the door and lay down next to Luo Xun. He was going to watch the night for Luo Xun, but he fell asleep until dawn.

Jiang Tang opened his eyes suddenly, and there were other two bright eyes in front of him. He sat up suddenly: "Are you okay?" He hurriedly reached out to touch Luo Xun's forehead, it was cool, and the fever was gone, he relaxed a little. tone.

Luo Xun sat up slowly: "Well, I'm much better now, I'm fine, thank you."
