Chapter 429
After collecting for two consecutive days, they brought back a large number of corals and some huge shells.

Without the good luck of the first time, these shells did not produce such perfect pearls, but there were a few crooked melons and split dates, but these were only used to grind pearl powder for girls to whiten.

Those shells are eaten for their flesh, and the shells are left to be fired in a blast furnace along with the coral.

Under high-temperature calcination, the shells and corals are turned into lime, and then thrown into the lime pond, after passing through the water, they become slaked lime.

With slaked lime, the progress of building a house can continue.

The foundation of Wei Lin's house had been dug long ago, but it was delayed because of the lack of limestone.

Now that the lime is in place, it only takes a few days to build the house.

These days, Fang Fang still takes Ayue and Pearl to collect coral every day.

In addition to collecting corals, Equation will also teach Pearl some simple vocabulary whenever she has time. She has a smart mind and learns things quickly.

For example, Equation taught her, thank you, please... These most basic words, Pearl can slowly comprehend them after some time, and after teaching them several times, she can understand the meaning of the words.

After these days of investigation, Equation is still very satisfied with Pearl's performance.

This woman is impeccable in her enthusiasm. Like Ayue, she is the kind who can take the initiative to work and won't stop unless you tell her to do it.

After finishing work during the day, Pearl will be allowed to eat with everyone, which is also a special treatment for her.

Every time they saw that Pearl could eat at the same table with Fang Fang and the others, the eyes of those male aborigines were full of envy and some jealousy.

After dinner, Pearl will take the initiative to help Tang Guo clean up the mess.

Although the two were basically unable to communicate, Tang Guo was still very happy to see Pearl to help her.

In addition, Tang Guo is also very talkative, loves to laugh, and is full of kindness to everyone, so Pearl also likes Tang Guo very much, and the two seem to have a good relationship.

After finishing the work, it was Pearl's daily study time.

At this time, Li Qingman took Pearl aside alone, and taught her one-on-one. In addition to some vocabulary taught by Equation during the day, he would also teach her more words and sentences, as well as how to use some words and sentences.

For those who understand Chinese, what Li Qingman teaches is almost at the level of kindergarten, but for an indigenous woman who knows nothing, it is actually not easy to master these things.

Every day before going to bed, Pearl would keep repeating what he had learned today in his mouth.

Sometimes when I wake up the next day and forget it, I will find Li Qingman and the equation and ask for advice.

It is precisely because of the [-]-point effort that Pearl learns Chinese much faster than expected.In about half a month, she was able to simply understand some short sentences, understand equations or what Li Qingman was telling her to do.

The reason why she is so desperate is that Pearl has always known that she is just a captive and may be killed at any time.

In order to survive, she must try her best to please these people on the island, and learning their language and being able to communicate with them will undoubtedly increase her chances of surviving.

In the final analysis, Pearl does all this to survive.

In half a month, apart from Pearl learning to speak some simple words, the appearance of the island has also undergone new changes.

On the hillside to the south, there are five extra houses in total.

On the "remains" of the original cave, three single-family huts were built, including Li Qingman, Song Zhixi, and Lianna.

Next to the three huts, there is a larger room, which is everyone's kitchen, where Tang Guo and Rebecca usually prepare meals for everyone.

Going up the hillside is Wei Lin's room.

In order to give Wei Lin the quietest environment, she usually studies the charts here without being disturbed, so the equation allocated the best place to her, hoping that she can make more discoveries.

Coming out of Wei Lin's house, there is a newly built gravel road connected to the step path in front of the original cave.

This made it easier for Wei Lin to travel, and at the same time expanded the island's transportation network.

After solving Wei Lin's resettlement problem, they started to build houses for James, Ayue, Lu Fengmei, Rebecca and Tang Guo in the east of the island without stopping.

The same house design, the same construction steps, and the same need for a lot of lime.

As for the stones, the equation has already led people to knock enough, enough to build the remaining four houses. What is missing now is the lime mortar to glue the stones together.

There is really no way for Equation. I have been soaking in the sea for half a month. Finally, I don’t need to go into the water for a few days, but I have to jump into the sea again to collect corals.

Ayue and Pearl are the ones who know water best on this island. In addition, Equation can be regarded as the most water-savvy under the two of them.

The iron triangle of the three came to the beach as usual.

Today the sun is bright, the sea water is clear, and the visibility is very high. You can see the bottom of the sea at a glance.

"Pearl, you wait on the boat, I will go down with Ah Yue first."

"it is good."

Pearl responded to the equation with an accent of her own.

After all, Fang Fang and A Yue jumped into the water together.

As usual, the two swam directly to the coral reef after entering the water. In order to knock off the solid coral, Fang Fang also brought a stone ax specially.

Everything was going well at first, but when the two of them were swimming towards the surface of the water with the coral in their arms, a white shadow suddenly appeared in the water, which immediately made people shudder.

"Back, back!"

Fang Fang couldn't speak, so he could only point his hand desperately behind A Yue.

Seeing that Equation's expression was so tense, Ah Yue knew that something might be wrong.Looking back, the tiger's body shook suddenly, and saw a shark swimming behind him at some point.

The shark was like a ghost submarine, swimming silently under the water.

The sun shines through the sea water, swaying the light and shadow on the bottom of the sea. When the shark is illuminated by the sun under the water, its white skin is even more eye-catching.

In the blue water, the shark was swimming beside Fang Fang and A Yue.

If this is in the aquarium, watching a big wild shark pass by the glass tank in front of you, not only will you not feel scared at all, but you will feel very exciting.

But now, Fang Fang and A Yueke didn't find it exciting at all, and both of them raised their hearts in their throats, fearing that they would be suddenly attacked by that shark.

If it is bitten, it will basically be cold.

"Swim to the surface!"

Fang Fang patted Ayue on the shoulder, wanting him to throw the coral first and then surface first.

Ah Yue couldn't help shaking his head, he knew that at this time, it is not advisable to make excessive movements to avoid attracting the shark's attention.

When the two were still panicking, they saw several similar figures swimming in the deeper water ahead, and within a short while, seven or eight sharks surrounded the two of them.
