Chapter 23 No, this kid wants to burn charcoal

"Okay, leader!"

The young man hurriedly pressed a button, and the area where Xu Hao's challenge was located flashed on the large electronic screen.

"What's going on? Why has it changed so much in just one night?"

After seeing the scene clearly, Liu Qing's pupils instantly became a lot bigger.

I saw that the roof of the wooden house that was originally a frame had been put on. The four wooden walls of the wooden house had also been installed, except for a door and window. The sandy slope behind the wooden house was covered with grass squares.

That’s not all,

Two rain shelters were also erected above the stove and well in the fenced courtyard.

At first glance, the courtyard looks more substantial and no different from a normal farmyard.

If it is coupled with a small road leading outside Sha'ao, it will be a proper small courtyard.

"what is going on?"

Liu Qing couldn't help but look at the staff.

When he came over yesterday evening, Xu Hao's yard was just a general framework and not that complete at all.

"Manager Liu, this Xu Hao was busy working until about two o'clock in the morning last night and didn't go to bed."

The staff member glanced at the big screen helplessly.

Why didn't he want this Xu Hao to lie down completely and quit the challenge early, but this Xu Hao is getting more and more enthusiastic now. Compared with other challengers, it feels like he is not surviving at all but building his own paradise.

He even had the idea of ​​wanting to experience it there.

What's even more irritating is that now Xu Hao has no shortage of food and drink, and there is no possibility of withdrawing from the competition.

"Then what time did he wake up this morning?"

Rubbing his eyebrows in distress, Liu Qing couldn't help but ask again.

"Around half past seven!"

"Then what?"

"After he woke up, he dug a hole on the sandy slope opposite the wooden house, then carried a lot of thick Populus euphratica from the Populus euphratica forest and set them on fire."

"Burning poplar wood? What is he going to do? Want to eat roasted jumping rabbit?"

"His remaining five jumping rabbits were stored in the stove and untouched."

"Then why is he burning poplar trees in the pit? Is it because he doesn't have enough physical strength?"

"We didn't know that he burned the poplar trees for a while and then filled up the hole again with sand. Now he was digging a second hole."

The young man shook his head.

He really didn't know what Xu Hao was doing. Among so many challengers, Xu Hao's behavior was the weirdest.

"What? Buried the entrance of the cave? Turn the camera to Xu Hao, let me see..."

Liu Qing's face suddenly gained a hint of solemnity.

"Leader, look!"

The young man hurriedly picked up a handle and controlled the camera. Soon, Xu Hao's figure busy in front of the cave entrance appeared on the big screen. In order to see clearly, the young man also specially selected the resolution.

"No! This kid wants to burn charcoal! It's broken... it's broken... it's bad now!"

After staring at the screen in silence for a moment, Liu Qing suddenly thought of something and her face instantly turned extremely ugly.

"Burning charcoal?"

All the staff at the scene were stunned.

They usually eat charcoal for barbecues, but they never pay attention to where the charcoal comes from, and sometimes they even wonder if it is made of cinders.

Is this how it was burned?

"Yes, they are just burning charcoal! No, I have to report the situation to Mr. Yang."

After saying that, Liu Qing could no longer care about anything else and immediately turned around and walked quickly to the president's office.

...

Two minutes later, Liu Qing stood in front of Yang Yuan's desk.

"Mr. Yang, it's not good!"

"What's wrong? You're in a panic."

Yang Yuan raised his head and glanced at Liu Qing.

"Mr. Yang, that Xu Hao is burning charcoal now."

Liu Qing was extremely anxious.

He had promised Yang Yuan that these challengers would all withdraw from the challenge after the continuous rain, but it would be hard to say if there was charcoal.

Charcoal is far more durable than dry firewood and can last for more than ten days.

"Burning charcoal? He knows how? Apart from those professional companies, how many young people can burn charcoal now?"

Yang Yuan put down the signature pen in his hand.

"Who knows! But he knows how to do it! And his wooden house is 90% complete! The wooden boards on the roof are tightly connected and covered with a tarpaulin. No matter how heavy the rain is, it will be fine.

He even filled the sandy slope behind the wooden house with grass squares so that ditch drainage is not a problem."

Liu Qing was really speechless.

I thought that by defeating those foreign masters of survival challenges, I would be able to solve some problems. However, something happened to an unknown person.

"So...then...where's his food?"

Gradually, Yang Yuan was no longer as calm as before.

Since the negotiation with Qi Haoyong yesterday, Tianchen Culture has sent a commissioner to follow Qi Haoyong to Ning'an County. The warm-up will begin in ten days.

Now, how can he accept it when he is suddenly told that he can hold on until the rainy days after the election?

"He still has five big jumping rabbits, so it won't be a problem to hold on for seven or eight days."

Liu Qing said again hurriedly.

"Seven or eight days? That's not bad! It will rain for ten days, and there will definitely be no chance of getting food during these ten days of rain. Without food, we can't survive just by protecting ourselves from rain and frost."

Yang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Surviving for a hundred days in the desert is not just talk. The right time, right place, right people, and many external factors are indispensable, especially food.

"But...according to the weather forecast, we will only start going down tomorrow. What if this kid gets some food tomorrow?"

Liu Qing was still a little worried.

"Tomorrow? It shouldn't be possible! Didn't you say before that he got a few jumping rabbits all by luck? Luck can't always favor one person."

Yang Yuan is no longer as anxious as before,

"Besides, haven't you already used drones to search and drive them away? There are no large animals outside that challenge area."

"But this kid's luck is really..."

"Okay, just wait and see. By the way, how are the other contestants?"

"One of the other players we thought of will be able to withdraw one at noon today."

"That's good!"

"Mr. Yang, then go and keep an eye on this Xu Hao now."

"Um!"

.......

Time flies and it’s noon in a blink of an eye.

Xu Hao breathed a long sigh of relief when he looked at the second sealed earth hole.

That's right,

When a fan in the live broadcast room warned him that it was going to rain continuously last night, he thought of charcoal. Burning charcoal is one of the most basic skills for restoring ancient buildings on earth.

After all, there are many building materials and wood piles that need to be burned and then painted before they can be used.

"The charcoal should be ready tomorrow! Just in time."

After patting the sand on his body, Xu Hao turned around and walked towards the earthen pot stove.

People are iron, rice is steel!

I've been busy all morning and haven't eaten yet. I still have some left over from the jumping rabbit I cooked yesterday, so I can finish it off at the same time.

"But eating jumping rabbit meat all the time is not an option. Let's wait until the doors and windows are installed in the afternoon to see if we can get some fiber supplements."

talking to oneself,

Xu Hao glanced at the grassy beach in the distance.
Chapter completed!
