Capítulo 1316: Chapter 1316: Extra Story of Du Fu 42
He had lived for more than twenty years, seemingly always feeding relentlessly on this path.
In the early years, he struggled to feed himself, then he t a ntor. Just a few days of full als, he was sent off to “work” to feed the ntor’s insatiable appetite. Later, when the ntor was no longer around, a group of unattended apprentices was left, like nestlings crying to be fed…
And now, it was Fu Miaoxue pitifully crying hunger in front of him.
Du Lai understood all too well what hunger felt like.
His thoughts gradually drifted away.
He thought, if he couldn’t wait for a rescue team any longer, he wouldn’t be able to send living expenses to Xiaodou and the others this month.
Because of the living environnt they grew up in, those kids had developed so bad habits, so he never sent too much when he mailed the living expenses. A group of kids with too much money in their hands could easily run into trouble.
But if he had known he would get into trouble, he should have been more generous with the living expenses before, so at least there would be so savings at ho now.
Now it’s too late to regret.
Life, it seems, is a process full of regrets.
…
The afternoon quickly passed by.
Du Lai twisted fibers from the banana tree stem into fine rope, wove it into a fish trap as long as his arms. With a small mouth and big belly, once a fish entered, it would be hard for them to get out. However, because the mouth was small, it couldn’t catch big fish.
In the shallow waters, it wasn’t likely for big fish to appear anyway, so Du Lai had no regrets.
He placed the finished fish trap aside and then began planning to set up a tent.
It was still very hot outside, but the sun was setting in the west, at least it wasn’t glaring anymore.
Du Lai stood outside the cave, walked around the large rock, pondering how to use the terrain to set up a tent that was strong enough.
It needed to be not only strong but also spacious enough.
Now the tilt angle of the large rock was only enough to cover most of their bodies, aning that if it rained and he and Fu Miaoxue lay flat in the cave, the rain would wet their feet.
When the wind blew, it would be even worse because the rock only provided cover overhead, while both sides were open.
The only advantage of living here was that the rock ca with a natural stone platform, which was where they had now laid the leaves.
The platform was just a short distance above the ground, perfectly solving the dampness problem.
——When setting up a shelter in the wild, besides blocking wind and rain, the most crucial part is moisture resistance. Well-prepared adventurers bring moisture-proof mats, while those lacking supplies can only build shelters higher or use tree trunks for a separate layer.
Du Lai set his eyes on the trees on both sides of the large rock; they would be good as pillars. Using the large rock as a fulcrum, a beam could be placed to form the frawork of a shelter.
He thought of the bamboo forest he had visited.
Bamboo was better than trees because bamboo was straight, while most tree branches were crooked and had twigs.
Considering there was no axe in his tools, cutting trees was too laborious, so Du Lai decided to build a bamboo house.
He changed into his old trousers, peeled so palm tree bark to wrap around his calves for protection, and tied so bark on his arms too.
It looked ugly, but there was no other way to prevent snake bites.
The commotion probably woke Fu Miaoxue from a daze. Not knowing what Du Lai was going to do, she rubbed her eyes and followed.
“Do you know where I’m going?” Du Lai asked with amusent.
Fu Miaoxue said, “To find food.”
Du Lai was speechless, “I’m going to saw bamboo, there’s no food!”
“There might be food on the way,” Fu Miaoxue said, rubbing her stomach listlessly, “I’m hungry again, that tree core is like a cucumber, it doesn’t fill you up.”
Du Lai: “…”
Too lazy to persuade her further, he picked up a stick from the ground and walked ahead, “Do whatever you want, just don’t complain about being tired later. I won’t have the strength to carry you back.”
