This was the division of labor between the boys and girls. The boys were in charge of physical labor and sawing bamboo while the girls were in charge of thinking and finding experience. Then, they would wait for the boys to come back so they could build the tent.
"You said before that we need to tie the rope tightly." Zhang Junning looked at the rope in Han Yuan's hand. Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he thought of something.
"I know, but we don't have that many ropes now." Han Yuan heard Zhang Junning's words and pointed out their dilemma.
At this time, the bamboo cutting work had basically come to an end. The boys came back one after another.
The first to come back were Bai Jingxiu and Zhang Xiaofeng. For things like this, they could only wait for the girls to make arrangements. Therefore, the two of them stood aside and watched the girls' movements. If there was any physical labor, they would go up and help.
As for Zhang Wei and Xie Tianhua, the two of them were still working hard inside the building.
"Then I'll go look in the forest and see if there's anything we can use as a substitute." Looking at the few ropes on the ground, Liu Yuzhen said to them.
Han Yuan nodded. "Be careful."
Not long after, Liu Yuzhen's voice was heard. "This is not bad. Very good. It's very tough."
As she spoke, she even demonstrated it to them. It did look good.
"Junjun, look at this —" The four girls started working in a flurry. The four boys who came back now didn't seem to be doing anything. They just stood aside and watched or wandered around, wanting to help.
"Come and help —" Just as the four of them looked at each other helplessly, Zhang Junning's voice rang in their ears. It was like the sound of nature.
"Okay —" Hearing this, Big Zhang Wei immediately stood up and ran to Zhang Junning. "Whatever I want to do, I'll do it."
The other three boys did the same, waiting for the girls to give them their tasks.
"Slow down. Put this down properly and hold it. We're going to start tying the rope." Han Yuan pointed at a bamboo above and asked Bai Jingxiu to stand up and hold it. Then, she handed Zhang Junning a rope and the two of them started tying one end of the bamboo.
"Done." Clapping their hands, they looked at the tent framework that had been set up. Everyone smiled. "Now, bring that cloth up and spread it out."
"Alrighty …" Squatting down, Zhang Xiaofeng and Big Zhang Wei each threw a canvas onto the ground. The person standing on the other side also helped to spread the canvas.
A tent was set up just like that. Looking at the A-shaped tents that they had set up, everyone revealed satisfied smiles.
The A-shaped tent was the most stable and protected against wind and rain. This was also the first tent that the team members had personally built. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the first one was built, he would be considered experienced. If he built another one, it would save a lot of trouble.
But at this moment, something unexpected happened. Because no one had listened to Lu Fei and smeared mud on their faces, a problem had arisen.
Everyone was bitten by mosquitoes, but Liu Yuzhen's condition was the worst. She was already showing signs of allergy.
"I brought some medicine here. You can touch some." Xie Tianhua took out a small bottle of medicine from his backpack and handed it to Han Yuan, along with a small packet of cotton swabs.
Han Yuan took the things from Xie Tianhua and said, "I didn't expect you to bring so many things …"
"It's better to be prepared! These are the must-have items in the jungle on Baidu before I came here. " Xie Tianhua slowly took out a bag of rice from his backpack and said, "Look, I even brought this."
The things in Xie Tianhua's hands attracted everyone's attention. "Why did you bring this here?"
Looking at the rice in Xie Tianhua's hands, Lu Fei was also puzzled and asked.
"You don't know about this, right? If we run out of things to eat, I'll take out this bag of rice and show it to you. "
Hearing Xie Tianhua's words, everyone laughed. "No wonder when I jumped into the water earlier, your bag was much heavier than Yuzhen's. It turns out that there are so many things in it!"
Lu Fei looked at Xie Tianhua's backpack. There were indeed many things in it. He couldn't help but shake his head. They didn't know that in the jungle, there were basically things that they needed. They just didn't know how to use them.
"Now you know why I told you to smear mud on your faces. Look at my and Uncle Chang's faces. There's nothing on them — "Pointing at the mud on his face, Lu Fei was really speaking from his own experience.
Seeing this, the other men also found mud on the ground and started smearing it on their faces. They really couldn't care less about their image now. The mosquito bites were too uncomfortable.
"Okay, it's done." Han Yuan closed the lid and looked at Liu Yuzhen's face. She should be done.
"Lu Fei, help me find a piece of mud too. I want to smear it on my face too —" Wu Kuang looked at Lu Fei. Her small face had been bitten several times by mosquitoes.
"No problem." Saying this, he lowered his head and found a relatively moist piece of mud. This way, Wu Kuang wouldn't feel so uncomfortable applying the paint. However, after it dried, the mud on her face would be a little uncomfortable.
However, now wasn't the time to care about this. Wu Kuang took the big piece of mud from Lu Fei's hand and handed one to Zhang Junning. Then, she broke off another piece and gave it to Han Yuan. Han Yuan shook her head. "I don't want this. How many face masks do I have to make before I can come back?"
"What face masks? Face is more important now —" Saying this, Wu Kuang put the piece of mud in her hand and smeared the two pieces on her face together.
"And your neck. Pay attention. As long as it's exposed, you have to smear it." Hearing Lu Fei's words, Wu Kuang frowned and was unwilling to do it.
Smearing the mud on her face was because of the mosquito bites. If it left a scar, she would be done for. However, if the mud dried on her neck, it would fall into her clothes.
Blinking her eyes, Wu Kuang threw the mud on the ground and straightened her collar. "Is this done?"
The other girls followed Wu Kuang's example. They straightened their collars and patted the mud off their hands. Finally, it was done.
Han Yuan handed Xie Tianhua's medicine to Liu Yuzhen and asked her to smear some on her face. This protective measure had to be taken. Otherwise, if everyone else had protective measures but she didn't, wouldn't the mosquito bite her alone?
