Chapter 18 Building a Shelter
Of course, these are just the most basic tasks in the early stages, and further improvements are needed later.
Ji Menghan and Ling Hanxue went to cook.
Chu Nan continued to lead his men to finish the roof using bamboo and cattail leaves.
Only then could the room be considered barely habitable.
For convenience, Chu Nan used bamboo to separate the two parts.
After a tiring afternoon, Ji Menghan and Ling Hanxue had finished grilling the meat, and everyone squeezed together to eat.
The three sailors and Miyamoto Musashi lived in the room on the right, while Chu Nan, Ji Menghan, and Ling Hanxue lived in the room on the left.
Ling Hanxue blushed and seemed a little flustered.
On the contrary, Chu Nan lay sprawled on the ground, looking distracted and restless.
"Ahem, ladies, let's go to sleep," Chu Nan said with a smile.
"Not today. We sisters will sleep together tonight, you'll sleep by yourself." Ji Menghan was also a little embarrassed.
She could accept sleeping with Chu Nan before, since there were no outsiders around. But now that her best friend Ling Hanxue was right beside her, she felt very embarrassed.
Chu Nan felt somewhat helpless upon hearing Ji Menghan's refusal.
Lying on the ground, Chu Nan tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
Just then, Chu Nan suddenly trembled and let out a cry.
"Ouch, that hurts!"
Upon hearing Chu Nan's words, Ji Menghan and Ling Hanxue, who were about to fall asleep, suddenly sat up.
"Chu Nan! What's wrong?" Ji Menghan asked anxiously.
"Spring poison, it's spring poison acting up!" Ling Hanxue replied immediately, having learned from her previous experience.
"Uh... Your Highness, why don't you give him the antidote first?" Ling Hanxue whispered, her pretty face flushed.
"Ah, this..." Ji Menghan said shyly.
"Hanxue, why don't you give him the antidote?" Ji Menghan pulled on Ling Hanxue's arm, refusing to go forward.
"How about we detoxify together?" a voice said.
"No, no, how can this be allowed?" The two women shook their heads in unison.
The next moment, the two women suddenly exclaimed.
A large hand wrapped around each of their waists, pulling them directly into Chu Nan's embrace.
"Chunan!"
"You shameless scoundrel!"
"You think you can just run away now that you're here?" Chu Nan chuckled.
[Bedtime: Introduction]
Experience points: 50/100
[Bonus Reward: 13 Free Experience Points]
Current Free Experience Points: 45
"Is the bed level only 5 points away from being upgraded?" Chu Nan was quite pleased.
Even basic skills can double your physical abilities; once you level up, you'll definitely be even more powerful.
He might even be able to wipe out Zhao Xingyu and his group all by himself.
When Chu Nan woke up in the morning, he felt refreshed and stretched his arms, feeling very comfortable and at ease.
The three sailors and Miyamoto Musashi had already gotten up and were continuing the work that Chu Nan had arranged for them yesterday.
Miyamoto Musashi's original bow and arrows weren't very good, so Chu Nan gave Miyamoto Musashi the bow and arrows he got from Zhao Xingyu.
The three sailors, also carrying knives they had previously taken from Zhao Xingyu, began to hack and slash.
When the two women got up, they couldn't help but come over and give Chu Nan a good beating.
"It's all your fault, you bad guy!" Ji Menghan's pretty face flushed slightly.
Ling Hanxue reached out and pinched Chu Nan's ear, her pretty face flushed, and said, "Did you do that on purpose?"
"I'm innocent! I really didn't mean to! I'm really poisoned!" Chu Nan cried out.
"Hmph, you did it on purpose!" Ling Hanxue said angrily.
"I really didn't mean it, I swear!" Chu Nan quickly raised his hand.
Ling Hanxue snorted: "I'd be a fool to believe you. I think you just want to enjoy the bliss of having multiple wives."
"That's right, who can't see through your little schemes!" Ji Menghan chimed in.
"I'm innocent! I'm a good person!" Chu Nan cried out again.
The two women ignored him and turned to go wash up hand in hand.
After the two women left, Chu Nan furtively rubbed his face.
"A woman's intuition is terrifying..."
After calling everyone over and having breakfast, Chu Nan once again instructed them to carry out the work as it had been the previous day.
After a busy day, the house was repaired a lot, and even the middle house was separated into two independent houses.
This made the two women feel much better, since it was quite embarrassing to do that kind of thing with Chu Nan under the same roof.
But when night fell, the two women refused to let Chu Nan touch them again.
Even though Chu Nan pretended to be poisoned, the two women ignored him.
"Oh no, is this going to be a repeat of 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf'?" Chu Nan scratched his head, feeling a little guilty.
Since the two women refused, Chu Nan had no choice but to close his eyes and go to sleep.
The next morning, Chu Nan woke up early.
He gave instructions to the three sailors, telling them to cut bamboo and build a fence around the hillside.
Then build two more enclosures for raising pheasants and wild ducks.
These tasks are not complicated, they just take time.
As for Miyamoto Musashi, Chu Nan finally managed to explain it to him after much persuasion, telling him to try not to hurt the pheasants and wild ducks, and to only catch them alive.
Chu Nan then led the two women toward the sea.
"Chu Nan, why did you bring us to the beach?" Ji Menghan asked.
Ling Hanxue pouted: "He's definitely up to no good again."
Chu Nan said innocently, "I'm innocent, I'm so innocent! I brought you here to get some good stuff."
"What good stuff?" Ling Hanxue asked.
"Salt!" Chu Nan said slowly.
"There's salt in the sea?" Ling Hanxue frowned. "Isn't salt all in salt pans and salt wells?"
"Who told you they're all in the salt fields and wells? The biggest source of salt is the sea." Chu Nan rolled his eyes.
"This seawater is indeed salty, but how do we extract the salt?" Ji Menghan was also puzzled.
"I've heard my father and the others discuss this before; some people in coastal areas use seawater to irrigate salt fields."
"Seawater undergoes salt precipitation, but it contains many impurities."
"If the impurities inside aren't thoroughly removed, this salt will be poisonous," Chu Nan explained simply.
"But we don't have a pot," Ji Menghan asked.
"This..." Chu Nan scratched his head, realizing he had forgotten about that.
"But it's alright, there's no rush. Let's first cultivate some salt flats by the sea to filter the seawater in the initial stage."
Without further ado, Chu Nan, along with Ling Hanxue and Ji Menghan, dug out a relatively flat area on the beach and used sand to filter some of the seawater into the salt pan.
"Let this seawater sit for now. Come back tonight and we might see some white particles; those are coarse salt," Chu Nan said.
"Is this kind of coarse salt edible?"
"Of course you can't eat it, it's poisonous." Chu Nan patted Ling Hanxue's cheek.
"Let's go back first and make a batch of containers. We'll come back tomorrow and transport all this salt over, then we can start making salt. Without salt to eat, our bodies will gradually lose strength, and we'll be listless in everything we do," Chu Nan said confidently.
