Chapter 39 Contact with the outside world again

After eating and resting for a while, Ye Qing is about to start working again.

Everything is ready to make a wooden bed.

There is no wooden bed in the previous skill book, but Ye Qing still knows a little bit about the structure of the stuff that he uses to sleep all day long.

Generally speaking, the structure of a simple wooden bed is actually very simple. When there are no nails or other fixtures, the four pillars have two holes at each end, and then two sets of wood are taken, one set of four , The length of each group is the same, the tenon is cut on both sides of the wood, and then it is inserted into the eyes of the pillar to form a rectangular parallelepiped frame.

Of course, it is simple to say, but for Ye Qing, the workload is not small.

The so-called Maoyan is to make holes in the wood, just like when he made the stone axe in the morning, but this time, each pillar needs to punch four Maoyans, a bed needs sixteen Maoyans, and he needs To make two beds, the workload has to be doubled.

But there is no way, to make a firm wooden bed, this is a necessary step.

But this time, Ye Qing didn’t need to drill directly with a saber as in the morning. When he was cutting wood, he accidentally found a stone.

To be precise, it was considered to be a stone strip, the size of a thumb, and a length of about ten centimeters. When he first discovered it, Ye Qing felt that this was not true, because the shape of such a stone was too strange.

But he was also very happy, because the shape of this stone bar was really suitable for grinding into a chisel.

With the help of the stone adze, after half an hour of hard work, the ten-centimeter-long stone bar was partially broken by Ye Qing and turned into a length of about six or seven centimeters. The stone chisel was finally completed.

Very simple and rough, but it is not a problem to drill holes in wood.

It took another two hours to finally cut out the required number of holes on all the eight pillars, and then it was much simpler.

The standard of the tenon does not need to be too strict, as long as it can be inserted into the hole, it is simply cut with a stone adze, and it will be completed quickly.

The next step is splicing. The workload is not large and can be completed in ten minutes. However, in some places, the joint between the tenon and the mortise is not tight, and a slight movement will cause a tilt.

Ye Qing also used a stone adze to cut a few pieces of sawdust. After filling it in and knocking it solid with a stone, the frame of the wooden bed appeared.

After the frame was completed, it was laid immediately. At present, there is a shortage of tools. Ye Qing can only select some thinner and straight wood to build on it. These woods need to be similar in size, otherwise they will be very awkward to sleep.

This is not a problem. Ye Qing has been paying attention to this problem when cutting wood, so it will be completed quickly.

I jumped to the interview. Although it was still a little shaky, it was only because the ground in the cave was not flat, and the notch in the wood cut by the stone adze was not flattened directly with a saw.

These are minor problems, just put some sawdust or rocks underneath.

It took Ye Qing nearly an afternoon for the two wooden beds to be stitched together.

Faced with the results of his work, Ye Qing is still quite satisfied, at least not directly on the ground in the future, the quality of sleep can also be improved a lot.

Zhao Ling was also very happy. After Ye Qing had just finished the wooden bed, she lay on it and tried it, and then laid the leaves according to the comfort level until she was satisfied.

In addition, there were a lot of unusable clothes in the previous suitcase. Zhao Ling tore these clothes into rags and laid them on it. At first glance, it looked like a bed.


Ye Qing didn’t care about her, he still had to make a shelf while it was still early.

The shelf is not as strict as the bed requirement, just simply fix it.

This time Ye Qing didn’t plan to use the mortise joint technique. Although it was good, it was too boring.

He cuts grooves directly on the selected wood, then buckles the wood and wood grooves, and then fixes them with hemp rope made of rubbed bark, usually not deliberately shaking, when a simple shelf is No problem.

However, because the multi-layer shelves are to be made, the laying in the middle takes time. Here, the wood has to be broken into countless short pieces of similar length. Even with a stone axe, this process takes a lot of time.

These pieces of wood were all broken into a length of about 30 cm by Ye Qing, and then laid side by side on the shelves, and a three-layer shelf was completed.

After doing all this, Ye Qing finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Ye Qing’s solid wood bed can be made better. For example, the leaves on it will become dry in a few days and will have to be replaced.

The best way is to cut some thatch around the area, and then weave it into a thick straw mat, which can be used for a long time.

The toughness of thatch is much better than that of leaves, and after weaving, it can be used as a roof for so long, and it will only last longer if it is used as a straw mat without wind and sun.

But these are things for the future, because this is another extremely time-consuming thing, especially when there is no sickle, temporarily replaced with leaves.

Zhao Ling had already prepared dinner, Ye Qing went to the beach to take a shower, and then returned to eat after washing off the sweat stains on his body.

After dinner, it was already evening, and I told me the time to play with the radio every day.

I don’t know if it’s because of the weather. The sky tonight is much clearer than last night, and the radio signal is much better. At least when receiving information from outside, I don’t have that kind of stuttering feeling.

It is still constantly trying to contact the outside world. Although it has been unsuccessful for so long, this has become a necessary habit for Ye Qing and Zhao Ling after dinner every day.

Two people, one radio station, sitting at the entrance of the cave, without any communication, all the attention was placed on the radio station in their hands.

But in fact, Ye Qing’s radio is much better than Zhao Ling’s. Although Zhao Ling’s radio can also receive some information from the outside world, it only has a few fixed channels. Ye Qing’s is different, as long as the signal Well, he can receive almost all the bands in the world.

“Hey hey hey… can anyone hear it?”

Suddenly, a soft female voice sounded from the radio in Ye Qing’s arms, and the two people at the entrance of the cave became stiff, and then they were ecstatic.

After trying for so long, I can finally contact the outside world again!



Ye Qing hasn’t spoken yet, Zhao Ling can’t wait to shout: “Can you hear, can hear, can you hear us?”

“Can you…you are… Zhao Ling?! My goodness…”*
