In order to make the four walls of the bamboo room sturdy, Luo Jun directly whittled bamboo into bamboo stakes and drove them into the ground.
He would drive five bamboo stakes into the ground for one wall, then weave bamboo vines into one wall panel, reinforce the wall panel with four small bamboo poles on top, and then tie it to the nailed bamboo stakes, so as to block the invasion of cold air.
This alone was not enough. In order to block more cold air, Luo Jun would pile up a lot of weeds on the four walls.
These weeds could not only block the wind, but also hide the bamboo room to avoid easy detection.
Finally, he reinforced the roof, piling a lot of weeds on it as well.
It took another four hours before and after, eating grilled fish during the break, but there were no vegetables or anything else. As they ate the tasteless fish, their mouths felt astringent and they could only drink water to relieve it.
Although the food was not good, after eating their fill, they lay in the brand new shelter, feeling the geothermal warmth, still very satisfied.
"Mr. Luo, thank you so much for your hard work!"
Looking at the cozy little house, Lorna sincerely and gently said to Luo Jun.
Jenny and Li Shi also had faces full of grateful smiles. In this environment, having such a shelter could give them a great sense of security, which women lacked most, and Luo Jun gave it to them.
"You're welcome, I would have to live here even if you didn't!" Luo Jun laughed and fiddled with the movable bamboo door. When this bamboo door was closed it became a bamboo wall, which could also be bolted from the inside, more than enough to deal with ordinary snakes, insects, jackals and wolves.
"Uncle, you've been busy all day, just rest, just rest. If there's anything, just order us to do it!"
Seeing Luo Jun's tired look, Li Shi said to Luo Jun with concern.
Luo Jun looked at the sky. There were still two hours before dark. He couldn't waste time. He had plenty of time to rest at night.
"No hurry. I still have to make some defensive measures, otherwise if any large animal gets close, this bamboo house can't withstand it."
Luo Jun said, taking a sip of water, then went out again and started chopping bamboo to make "horse rejectors". The so-called horse rejectors were cross-shaped sharp stakes placed at the gates of ancient city walls to stop cavalry from rushing straight through the gates.
This thing could also prevent animals like wild dogs, wolves, tigers and lions.
Luo Jun whittled the bamboo into points and then tied them together with bamboo vines to fix them. He had to make four or five of them, and the women didn't know how, and their hands were soft and delicate, which would be more troublesome if cut by bamboo vines.
So all the work was done by Luo Jun himself.
As darkness fell, Luo Jun still had one last horse rejector to complete. Sensible Li Shi brought Luo Jun a torch, and it took another twenty minutes to complete the last horse rejector.
Luo Jun cleverly placed these horse rejectors around the shelter, and then grabbed some fern plants and placed them on top of the horse rejectors.
After finishing all this work, Luo Jun was also exhausted. He went to the pond to take a bath.
The night creek water was extremely cold, but Luo Jun was used to taking cold showers for years, so the water temperature didn't affect him much.
He put his clothes on the rocks by the creek, immersed his body in the creek water, the icy chill made Luo Jun refreshed. He casually rinsed off the sweat on his body, washed his face, then walked right out.
His strong body and strips of pulled silk-like muscles were even more distinct in the firelight.
The three women were next to the hearth, seeing Luo Jun's physique, shy smiles appeared on their faces. Li Shi didn't dare to look at first, but seeing the two women chatting happily, she couldn't help but take a peek.
The girl's heart thumped chaotically.
She had never thought before that strong men could be so attractive. She had always felt that she liked the scholarly type.
Not until this moment did she realize the truth.
Of course Luo Jun wouldn't mind a few women ogling his physique. Desire was only human nature, nothing to hide.
He put on his clothes and returned to the hearth, sitting next to Li Shi.
"Like what you see?" Luo Jun teased Li Shi.
Li Shi's pretty face flushed red in the firelight: "Shameless, who's looking at you?"
"I didn't say you were looking at me either, you said it yourself."
Luo Jun's words made Li Shi's pretty face blush down to her neck.
"I'm going to eat something and go to sleep. Put some big logs in there to burn, make it dense, otherwise it will burn out before dawn." Luo Jun reminded and then went back into the shelter to rest. Jenny was sleeping on the side, Luo Jun lay down beside her.
Jenny was a little nervous and didn't dare move.
After all, she had slept with her boyfriend last night, and now lying next to her was another man.
Thinking of Jack's death, her original discomfort soon disappeared, replaced by grief.
Luo Jun now had no time to take care of the women's moods. He was really tired out, closed his eyes and fell fast asleep. After Lorna and Li Shi put the firewood in order they also came into the room.
Lorna very consciously slept on Luo Jun's other side, so Li Shi could only sleep on the side.
Without the waterproof cloth to cover them, the women hugged each other sideways, and Lorna no longer had any misgivings, hugging Luo Jun the tightest. Jenny was also cold. At first she didn't dare move, but at night she was so cold she couldn't stand it, and also consciously hugged one of Luo Jun's arms and placed it on her chest.
Fortunately there was geothermal warmth, otherwise they probably wouldn't have made it through the night.
Luo Jun woke up very early in the morning with two blonde beauties pressed tightly against his body. He suddenly felt that this environment was also very nice.
He sniffed the smell of the women, although there was no perfume smell of big city women, there was still a unique feminine scent.
The shirt Lorna wore didn't conceal her perfect figure at all lying on her side.
It made Luo Jun swallow hard, but it wasn't good to act out. He couldn't waste a day's energy on women.
He removed Lorna's arm pressed on him, and glanced at Jenny. This girl was also a great beauty. She wore a denim jacket, and the dress inside similarly didn’t hide her charm. No wonder that guy Jack was so nervous.
Luo Jun got up and looked at her leg injury.
Her leg was a little swollen. He smelled her wound, and there was no smell of infection.
It didn't need to change medicine yet. Luo Jun then pushed the bamboo door open and scrambled out.
Outside, fragrant flowers and singing birds, just a bit cold. If this was a mountain villa, he could hug a few beauties and drink two glasses of liquor at this time, but unfortunately, it wasn’t the time.
Luo Jun decided to make traps in the morning. While there was still food, he would do a simple reconnaissance of the island in the afternoon, first figuring out which peak was the highest on the island, then finding time to climb up and see if he could find anything.
Also, Luo Jun felt that in a couple days he should go back to the reef beach to see if the snake skin was still there. The three women had no pants to wear, which was really dangerous.
Also might find something else while he was there. After all, if those people reached the reef beach they would definitely leave some traces.
