Survive on a Deserted Island With the Villainous Young Lady

24 – Preparing a new house (1)

Through trapping and the discovery of some plants, Chester and Monia’s food supply quickly grew plentiful.

In the morning, a few days after the food situation was plentiful, Chester, who also woke up early alone, brought out a plant he had just found for breakfast.

A plant resembling a potato, but with lots of tiny grains the size of a thumb nail at best.

I didn’t know the name, so I gave it the name Gaegamja, which means it’s as small as a sesame. I roughly stirred it in seawater, washed the soil, and put it in a cup of water.

Since the water cup had already been used as a pot several times, more than half of the water cup was burnt black from the bottom.

“… … Hmm.”

Chester, who was waiting for the water in the water cup to boil, looked at the bamboo that was placed on one side of the villa.

White grains remained on the bamboo that had been split in half.

It is salt.

After seeing Monia, who couldn’t eat anything, Chester felt the need for seasoning and started making salt a few days ago.

The bamboo that was split in half was filled with seawater, evaporated in the sun, and the process of evaporating the seawater was repeated.

After repeating it for a while, I was able to get salt.

Chester added salt to the boiling water, then added the leftovers from yesterday’s roast fish and smoked pork, and added a few plants.

After waiting for a while, the taste of the fish and pork comes out and smells good.

‘Eating the leftovers the next day.’

In fact, Monia, who has a small stomach, was greedy and tried to eat a lot of fish, but it was left over, but the act of leaving food and eating it later showed that their quality of life had changed quite a bit.

If nothing else, the food situation has improved a lot.

After making the soup, Chester took out a bamboo spoon.

It is a square spoon in many ways, roughly carved from bamboo with a stone knife.

With that, Chester scooped up the plants, potatoes, and pieces of meat that went into the soup, and while eating breakfast, he leisurely looked at the waves of the sea.

It rained once two days ago.

As I was looking at it, I vaguely saw a haze.

‘As expected, the temperature is rising.’

The temperature on the floating island was rising.

The sun was getting faster, and the air was heating up earlier than a few days ago, and the intense heat came.

‘I’ll have to take another look at the place I looked at yesterday.’

Thinking that he should quickly go into the woods to escape the heat, Chester decided to take a look at the house he had seen yesterday.

As we were eating while thinking about the house site, Monia stood up and stared blankly at Chester as he ate.

“Huaam.”

Now that she can wake up early without being woken up, Monia chased after sleep with the stretches she learned from Chester.

After chasing him, he saw Chester eating and held out his hand.

“I want to eat too.”

“wait for a sec.”

Chester emptied the chowder and handed over the cup, and Monia, who received the water cup, ate the leftovers of the chowder inside.

Originally, Monia, the noble daughter of the ducal family, would have regarded anything Chester ate, used bitterly, or put in his mouth as a germ.

She could now eat Chester’s leftovers and kiss indirectly without bothering.

“Whoa.”

After scraping up the leftovers from Chester, Monia began to cook her own food.

Boiling the sesame seeds in water was the same, but I didn’t add things to it like Chester did.

While roasting the smoked meat, add the vegetable leaves to the cooked sesame seeds.

After stirring until the leaves die in the heat, when the sesame seeds cool down to some extent, eat them with the grilled meat.

Originally, Monia didn’t want to put the plant in, but Chester forced her to eat it, so she ate it.

“Oooh. Write it.”

“eat.”

“Ah… .”

Monia ate the plants she didn’t like to eat with the power of broken potatoes and pork.

“What are you going to do today?”

“Now we have to build a house.”

“Ah, finally?”

“yes.”

At the word of building a house, Monia’s eating speed increases.

Chester saw that and handed the water bottle to Monia.

“Cheer up. Eat slowly.”

“Nyop.”

* * *

Monia aimed at the bamboo in front of her eyes and vigorously swung her stone axe.

Monia gets used to hitting the ax through daily practice, so she can use the ax without falling or rolling like the first time.

Chester looked at Monia with satisfaction and swung the ax in the same way.

Chester, who knocked down three bamboos while Monia knocked down one, cleaned them up and brought one bamboo.

The bamboo is the one Chester had previously measured and cut to make the scaffolding for the house.

Using that bamboo as a ruler, he cuts other bamboos to size.

Next to Chester, Monia also diligently cut the bamboo.

“Suck! … Suck!”

Sweat was already pouring down Monia’s body, and the dress she was wearing was wet and clinging to her body.

When resting while digging bamboo, they sit on a nearby rock and drink water.

“ah. The water is not cool.”

“Yeah.”

The cool river water had already become lukewarm from the heat of the forest, and the sweat flowing from their bodies was sticky due to the heat and humidity, creating an unpleasant feeling.

“How much water do you have left?”

“Uh, ten.”

“I still have room.”

Chester poured a bucket of water over himself.

Sprinkle with water for a while and move your body harder while the discomfort subsides.

“Let’s finish this and go to the waterfall.”

“Yes. Yeah? waterfall?”

“yes. waterfall. do not know?”

“I don’t know.”

“Ugh… no Whoa. What is a waterfall… … .”

Chester cut the bamboo while explaining the waterfall, and when the right amount was gathered, he took it to the house.

Chester’s house was a place where the trees were particularly thick and dense.

To be protected from sudden climate change, we chose a site that was naturally safe and least affected by previous storms.

Of course, it’s hard to build a proper house in such a place, but fortunately, if you go a little further into this dense area, you will find a suitable place.

A thick tree towering and monopolizing the nutrients of a very small vacant lot and the plants that should have grown in that vacant lot.

This thick tree will be their home.

“A tree! How are you!”

Monia dropped the bamboo she was holding and it clung to the tree.

Seeing Monia like that, Chester lightly tapped the tree with his fist.

‘It’s still hard.’

If you think about the feel, it’s hard enough to make you think you’ve hit an iron plate.

‘I’ve been curious since the first time I saw it, but what the hell is this?’

Even if you hit it with an ax, it seems like the ax will break, and the tree doesn’t have a single scratch on its bark.

In what country and in what natural environment were these trees born, and by what route did they flow to the floating island?

Chester gave Monia one of the vines and climbed the tree.

Climbing on top of the tallest and thickest branch, he swung his ax at the surrounding twigs.

No matter how hard the bark is, the twigs are thin and slender.

Chester easily broke and broke it when he swung it hard, and Chester cut off the twigs to make a space of appropriate width on the tree.

“Hmm.”

After making space, Chester set down the basket he was carrying and hopped on to the next branch.

It also prunes and organizes the surrounding twigs.

Having created such a seemingly spacious space, Chester grabbed hold of the vine and pulled it.

When all the vines are pulled, the bamboos that Monia has tied come up.

Chester’s job now was to make the scaffolding for his house out of this bamboo.

First, put a bamboo stick between two branches, and place the bamboo next to it one by one.

After tying and connecting the leftover bamboos one by one to make a large scaffold, the whole is tied to branches and connected.

The material is the rope that Monia ordered to make longer.

Originally, I had Monia make a net, but since I can make it again later, I decided to just use it here.

I made the floor like that, but it was still lacking.

‘I’ll just have to go there one more time.’

“We have to make this the door.”

Chester inserted a thin piece of bamboo to mark it, then raised the basket to the floor and Chester took out the items he had put in it.

material to make a ladder

rope and wooden poles.

The wooden stick was roasted for a short time over a fire to make it strong. If you burn a little bit of wood in a fire, the moisture inside the wood is blown away and it hardens.

Chester first tied a rope to a tree branch, pulled it up, and began tying the rope and stick together.

It uses a marine spike knot.

After winding the string around the palm of your hand, hold the short end of the string firmly and pass the long end of the string through the string wrapped around your palm.

It is a simple knot that you just need to make a loop like that, insert a wooden stick into the loop, and pull it to tighten.

Work it on both sides of the wooden stick at the same time.

Take another wooden stick and do the same thing under the tied wooden stick.

repeat on repeat.

Chester, who completed the ladder in an instant, dropped it through the hole he had drilled at the bottom while making room.

After making sure the ladder went all the way to the ground, Chester checked to make sure it was tied tight.

After checking, Chester climbed down the ladder.

Going downstairs, Monia, who was waiting in front of the ladder with a face full of expectations, clung to Chester.

“how is it? how is it?!”

“yes? I’m just starting to make it, so I don’t know what it’s like.”

“How is it!!”

“… … Would you like to go up?”

“… … ! Yes!”

Monia smiled broadly, grabbed the ladder with both hands, and raised her feet.

And.

“ah.”

The moment Monia climbed up the ladder with great vigour, the ladder that was hanging down with no fixed place snapped.

Monia was startled by the suddenly broken and wobbly ladder and let go of her hand, then hit her head on the floor.

“Kyaheuk!”

“… … Learn how to climb the ladder.”
