17. Settled
As soon as he saw the action, Fatty Zhu must have never done much work before, but this guy looked fat, but he was quite strong. After looking at how Ling Li cut trees, he learned to copy them. Although he only relied on brute force when cutting trees, he finally cut faster than Ling Li, and the trees he cut out were even thicker than the trunks he chose.
Ling Li asked, Zhu Zhengang was actually a level seven martial artist, and he could even enter the realm of a warrior soon.
This made Ling Li feel helpless. When Fatty Zhu looked at his body shape, he knew that he was definitely a person who was not very diligent in practicing. In this way, he had reached the level seven of the martial artist he needed to look up to. It can only be said that people compare themselves with others, which was so angry that he was born in a good family. He ate and drank enough every day, and his body was filled with qi and blood. Moreover, his body should have a full energy every day.
Originally, he thought this guy with a fat heart would not be very good at studying, and he was the kind of guy with the lowest grades in No. 2 Middle School. Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhengang told Ling Li with a calm face that although he likes to sleep during class and is often named and punished by teachers, his test scores have never reached the top ten in the grade. If it weren't for the fact that he chose to study at No. 2 Middle School because of his family, even the principal of No. 1 Middle School would have rushed to study.
This answer almost made Ling Li spew out an old blood.
Is it so annoying?!
Well, at least now I am half a coworker with this fat man, and I am about the same level as me…
The teacher in charge asked the students to build their own shacks for living. In order to avoid accidents at night, the sheds for sleeping must be at least four meters above the ground.
Ling Li looked around and found a suitable place to build a house about 500 meters away from the wooden house in the mining area. It is only more than 200 meters away from the river and next to a small forest. The main thing is that two large trees with several people holding each other on the outside of the forest are moderately spaced. The bottom branch is exactly about four meters high from the ground, which can save two tree stumps as support, and the sheds built are much more solid.
Zhu Zhengang has a very friendly appearance and strong coordination ability. Soon, under his inspiration, twelve men joined their small gang. Two of them were Ling Li’s classmates from No. 5 Middle School, but they were not in the same class.
Fourteen people divided the work and cooperated: burying tree stumps, building sheds, sawing wooden boards, and finally building a ceiling with cut branches and cut thatch. After an afternoon, a simple wooden shed was finally built and could be moved in. Although the height of the ceiling was not enough, after people got in, they could only move to the bottom of their work. It can be seen that everyone was quite satisfied with the fruits of their labor.
A small group gradually formed in the process of labor and mutual cooperation. As for the leader, after Zhu Fatty Magically got a big pot and a large bun of jerky from nowhere, a group of teenagers from civilian origins consciously acknowledged his leadership position. There is nothing we can do about this. Everyone has never eaten much meat. This big bun of jerky is enough to bribe everyone.
Under the command of Fatty Zhu, several people were building stoves, and several people went to the woods to dig wild vegetables and pick up mushrooms, and prepare dinner. Ling Li took a few people to check the mine, select a better mine, and prepare to start work tomorrow.
More than ten minutes later, Ling Li and four other students came to the entrance of a tunnel closest to the wooden house of the Management Department. The entrance of this tunnel was less than 500 meters away from the wooden house, which was considered a relatively new mine. After Ling Li and the others came over, two other groups of students had already entered it in advance and investigated.
These teenagers who are about to graduate from all schools are very energetic. On the first day, there were less than 200 students willing to come to mine. Perhaps because they were afraid of being embarrassed in front of girls, most of the male classmates and some women who thought they were strong signed up to form a team to hunt.
Ling Li took the lead in front, and several other classmates followed him, standing in front of him and walking forward in the narrow and curved tunnel. After walking for only more than twenty meters, the light in the tunnel had become very dim. At this time, Ling Li found that his vision was not affected by the light and could still see everything ahead clearly. Although it was not as clear as in the sun, it was similar to what he felt on a full moon night.
You should know that the light in the full moon in the Red Flame Continent is much brighter than on the Blue Star, and it does not even affect people's outdoor activities.
Ling Li has discovered this inadvertently since he activated the system.
In order not to be noticed by others, after turning two bends, Ling Li still asked the classmate who followed him to light the mine lamp.
After walking in about fifty meters, the front suddenly became spacious.
Ling Li looked at the rock wall inside, and it should be an iron ore vein about two meters thick.
He swung the pickaxe in his hand, chiseled a few pieces of ore from the vein, and then took it under the mine lamp and looked at it: "This vein should be pretty good, we'll dig here tomorrow."
Tang Zhi, who was in the third place, took two steps forward, took the ore from Ling Li's hand, and looked carefully: "Well, Ling Li is right, let's just stop here."
To be honest, the tunnels here are crisscrossed, and the blackness in front is also a bit palpitations.
Feeling everyone's uneasiness, Ling Li gave up the willingness to continue to explore. The days ahead will be long and will not take so long.
The group came out of the tunnel and returned to the station. The sun had already set and the sky was slowly getting dark.
Zhu Zhengang had already cooked a pot of hot soup, dried meat, wild vegetables and some wild mushrooms with several classmates. The freshly built shack was filled with fragrance, making everyone feel more hungry and salivating.
After a while, Zhu Zhengang scooped a piece of mushroom with a large spoon and tasted it, and told everyone that the broth had been cooked and everyone could start eating. More than a dozen people took their lunch boxes and started making soup one by one. Everyone was still very conscious. Each of them only made two spoons, and in the end, about one-quarter of the pot was left.
"Students who don't feel they can beat them again." Zhu Zhengang ordered, and everyone had already taken out their own dry food and started eating it with the broth.
Everyone felt very satisfied with the dinner and praised Fatty Zhu for his good skills.
Perhaps because they rarely eat meat on weekdays, many people still feel that they are still unsatisfied.
After dinner, Zhang Qian and Wang Tao came to the river to get a bucket of water. After everyone washed the rice cooker and tableware, everyone gathered in front of the fire and discussed the arrangements for taking turns to cook and mining in the future.
"I calculated that only nine to ten people need to mine every day to ensure the minimum food supply for fourteen of us. Of course, the food exchanged with ore and school is just rice, flour and military biscuits. If you want to eat better every day, you can draw out four or five people to go out to hunt and collect wild vegetables, mushrooms and other foods. In addition, some medicinal materials in the mountains are very valuable. Anyway, if there are fish but no fish to catch a net, everyone will lose much. Moreover, taking turns to hunt is equivalent to training their abilities. It saves you from mining all the time, but there is not much training effect." The fat man spoke first and said to everyone very seriously.
