Chapter 354 Cutting Trees
After a while, on the rocky hill at the east end.

After untying the climbing rope, Li Chen directly dragged the rope and said, "Let's go, let's cut trees."

Chop, chop trees! ?

Xiao Cao couldn't help turning his eyes around nimbly, and then seemed to understand a little bit, Captain Li Chen should still want to take the way of building a bridge?
At this moment, Tan Jixia also understood a little bit, thinking that Captain Li Chen probably wanted to cut down the tree to dry some water in advance, so... the tree would be a little lighter, and it would not be so strenuous when building the bridge.

In fact, this time, they all guessed right.

Because, their Captain Li Chen just wanted to cut down the tree first and dry some water.

After staying for a while, and returning to the cross section of the ridge, their Captain Li Chen led them down the mountain on the other side of the ridge...

Because there, the row of eucalyptus trees are all at a height of 20 meters.

Captain Li Chen tied one end of the rope around his waist first, and then climbed up one of the tall eucalyptus trees...

This time, Tan Jixia and Xiao Cao also understood the purpose of Captain Li Chen's move.

After a while, the two of them tugged on the rope, and the tree would fall on the side of the ridge, which would save a lot of work.

They were amazed by Captain Li Chen's consideration of every detail!

Sure enough, when their captain Li Chen climbed up the eucalyptus tree, tied a rope to the top of the tree, and then got down from the tree, he said to them, "You two are holding the rope. Try to bring the eucalyptus tree down to the top of the ridge. In this way, When we build bridges, we can save a lot of energy."

"Yeah! Understood!" Xiao Cao nodded hurriedly.

"..."

However, it is still too much effort to cut through this kind of tall eucalyptus with a simple homemade hatchet.

Therefore, Li Chen can only cut a circle under the tree first, and then cut a big gap under the tree on the side of the ridge.

Then, another big gap was cut in the opposite direction.

Then he looked at Tan Jixia and Xiao Cao who were already standing on the ridge and pulling the rope, and he said, "Okay. Pull hard."

Ever since, they both counted one, two, three, and pulled hard at the same time...

The eucalyptus tree screamed, and suddenly shook...

Then, the two of them counted one, two, three again, and pulled with all their strength, and the eucalyptus tree began to make crackling noises...

Then there was a sudden 'whoosh', and it fell towards the ridge.

According to this number, after cutting down another tall eucalyptus tree, their captain Li Chen climbed back to the ridge, and couldn't help but let out a long cry: "Huh—"

Tan Jixia and Xiao Cao were equally exhausted and out of breath.

Then, the three sat on the ridge to rest for a while.

Although I was as tired as a ball, looking at the two tall eucalyptus trees that had fallen, I felt somewhat inexplicable sense of accomplishment.

After resting for a while, their Captain Li Chen suddenly stood up and said, "It's done. Let's go back. Our mission today is considered complete."

As Xiao Cao got up, he asked, "These two trees... just hang here to dry?"

This time, without waiting for Li Chen's answer, Tan Jixia hurriedly said: "If you don't let it hang here, should you drag it on?"

"...???" Xiao Cao was speechless for a while.

In fact, he was more or less looking for something to say.

Seeing that he was going down the half of the mountain that was burned by fire, Xiao Cao couldn't help but asked again: "Captain Li Chen, do you want to take this rope back?"

Li Chen replied: "No need. Let's leave it here. It's fine."

"..."

Later, when going down the mountain, I suddenly thought that I would soon build a bridge and go west along the ridge, Xiao Cao felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart...

It was like finally seeing hope.

As a matter of fact, Li Chen, as the captain, couldn't guarantee what would happen all the way west.

It's not good to say it now, that is, a dead horse is a living horse doctor, so let's talk about it first.

……

By the time the three of them returned to the beach due east, it was almost half afternoon.

But the three of them didn't come back, and the women didn't eat lunch, and they were waiting for the three of them to come back for lunch.

The virtuous second child, Su Qian'er, handed Captain Li Chen a bottle of water first.

Seeing this, Tan Jixia couldn't help but joked: "You remember your Captain Li Chen?"

Su Qian'er blushed in a hurry, and said, "I have them all. Shouldn't I get them for you right away?"

Seeing this, Qin Xiaowan handed Xiao Cao a bottle of water...

Afterwards, when they sat down in front of the fire and were preparing to have lunch together, the women were all dazed when they heard Xiao Cao talking about some things that happened today...

Especially looking at Captain Li Chen again, Liu Caiqiong couldn't help but ask again: "What else?"

Unexpectedly, their Captain Li Chen suddenly said: "It's done. Let's eat quickly. We have to collect the fishing nets before dark."

"..."

After a while, seeing that the sun had started to set, Li Chen, as the captain, hurriedly went to the beach to collect fishing nets again.

The women cheered and ran towards the seaside again, feeling a sense of joy before the harvest...

It's just that suddenly, thinking about leaving here soon, I began to feel a little inexplicably sad...

"I really want to stay here for a while longer."

Suddenly hearing what the cute girl Miao Keke said, Tan Jixia immediately rolled her eyes and said, "Then you little girl, just stay here forever!"

Unexpectedly, Liu Caiqiong suddenly said again: "Actually... the scenery here is really nice. It just so happens that we also have an open enclosure facing the sea, and the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming."

Seeing that Qiong'er was like this, Qin Xiaowan said, "There's a grave over there."

Suddenly, Qin Xiaowan pointed to Sister Meng's grave. Suddenly, everyone fell silent and stopped talking.

In fact, looking at the grave of Sister Meng, each of them still has some feelings...

Li Chen said to Xiao Cao: "What are you looking at these women for? Hurry up, pull up your trousers, and get ready to go into the water."

Suddenly hearing what Captain Li Chen said, Qin Xiaowan hurriedly said to Tan Jixia: "Xia'er, it's in the water. The net is collected."

Next, it was Captain Li Chen who supported the bamboo raft in the middle of the shallows to direct...

Tan Jixia, Qin Xiaowan, Xiao Cao, the three of them went into the water to drag the net.

This time, as soon as he touched the fishing net, there was a sound of rushing water. From this, their captain Li Chen could not help but smile...

It seems that there are a lot of fish in this net!

Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Cao pulled the net, he hurriedly said, "Wow! It's so heavy!"

When Liu Caiqiong got excited, she rushed into the water: "I'll help!"

Seeing this, Su Qian'er was also ready to walk towards Tan Jixia...
