Survive on a Deserted Island With the Villainous Young Lady

39 – Waterworks (4)

When Chester returned home, Monia, already awake, glared at Chester, who had been to the river alone.

“What, why are you looking at me like that?”

“huh! It’s nothing!”

Chester left alone and without a word.

Monia was annoyed by that fact, but she didn’t know why she was annoyed, so she just got angry without a countermeasure.

After having breakfast with the angry Monia, I continued to drill holes in the bamboo just like yesterday.

The more I did, the more I learned how to work and how to use my hands to avoid getting hurt on my palms, so the work progressed faster than yesterday.

“Are your palms okay?”

“yes. No problem.”

“Really?”

“Really, really.”

Monia occasionally asked about the condition of Chester’s palms.

Chester’s blood was all over the bamboo she was trimming.

At lunchtime, Monia stopped Chester from trying to cook.

“Please rest your hands.”

“You can eat with your left hand. It’s all about holding and drinking anyway.”

“I will feed you! after! Please bow your head in gratitude!”

Lunch was made by Monia.

Monia used a bamboo spoon to feed Chester the finished dish.

“How is it, is it delicious?”

“… … yes.”

Chester said so, but he didn’t notice much of a difference in taste.

Chester had an appetite specialized for survival, which allowed him to enjoy almost anything he could eat.

“Huh, right? Yes?”

However, when Chester complimented her on how delicious it was, Monia stretched her breasts as if feeling better and fed most of the food to Chester without eating herself.

“eat a lot!”

“yes. Eat some too.”

“Ah yes.”

Only then did Monia use the same bamboo spoon she used to feed Chester, take a spoonful of food, and put it in her mouth.

“Huh, as expected, my taste is certain! How many delicacies do you think I have eaten?”

After finishing the meal and arranging all the bamboo coffins, Chester began arranging the bamboo coffins by thickness.

“We’re going to point the thin one towards the waterfall and the thick one towards us. I’m going to connect them by inserting bamboo like this.”

After inserting the bamboos, Chester showed the gaps between the bamboos sandwiched together.

“If the thick one goes towards the waterfall, the water will flow through this gap.”

“Yes. Hey, by the way, there is almost no difference in thickness?”

Monia tried to fit the two bamboos together, but the bamboo tubes collided with each other and did not fit.

“I’m going to cut it and put it on.”

Chester brought the coffin and her claw knife that Monia had picked up and began to carefully sharpen them.

“After shaving it off, apply resin to it.”

Chester, who had coated both sides of the coffin with resin, put the coffin in place and brought in charcoal.

He breaks the charcoal he brought and puts it into the dim gap between the bamboo tubes.

Next, resin was applied to the surface again, and then a fire was brought in to burn the resin to finish.

Then wrap the rope around the outside.

“All you have to do is reinforce the parts that look weak, and let’s do the basic work like this.”

“… … Yes.”

Chester handed Monia the claw knife, and continued to work with the stone knife.

Monia also copied what Chester showed and worked on it.

“Is this the reason you’ve been collecting charcoal lately?”

“yes.”

Do not connect all tubes at once. I was thinking of starting at home and working on it step by step.

Chester first took the largest coffin and the one that had been cut a little, and hung it in the place he had marked in the center of the bridge.

Make a slight groove near the front end of the pipe, and tie a rope tightly to the groove.

Next, a stone of the appropriate size was brought and tied to the coffin.

“Why is that?”

“I usually tie this up here, so the canal runs diagonally upwards so no water flows. Then when you use it… .”

Untying the end of the rope tied to a nearby tree branch, the coffin descends under the weight of stones and bamboo.

“I’m going to bring you down like this. Right now, the pipe is not connected, so it shakes a lot, but if it is connected, the waterway will naturally come down diagonally and the water will flow.”

The ingredients must have been prepared, Chester and Monia quickly continued the finishing touches.

The coffin is cut to fit the thickness, coated with resin, inserted, filled with charcoal, coated with resin again, burnt, and then tied with a strong rope.

Repeat this.

From tree to tree, from branch to branch, from rope to rope hung for marking, we connect waterways.

The dense and tall trees fortunately supported the waterway at the right height and distance.

Of course, there were occasional tree branches that obstructed the canal, but they were all cut down to make way and space.

It took a long time because the distance to be connected was long, and I had to climb a tree to do the work, and I had to go back and forth to see if the connected waterway was okay.

Fortunately, I marked the route to install the waterway with a rope in advance, so I was able to continue all the way to the waterfall without any problems.

Chester also adjusted the length of the rope that had been hung from a tree branch for one full turn while installing the canal.

These ropes will support the canal so it doesn’t sink too much, and it will make it easier to lift the entire canal when you’re using it and then hauling it up and tidying it up.

When it got dark, we stopped working on the canal and went back home to eat and rest quietly.

Chester, of course, knew that he needed to rest his hands to heal his wounds.

Except for the waterway construction, which had to be handled quickly, he intended to keep his hands as still as possible.

Chester took care of the wound on his hand during the break and looked after Monia’s technique.

Wanting to learn as many different skills as possible, Monia didn’t just learn to twist ropes or rekindle a extinguished bonfire.

“Ugh. how is it?”

There was nothing he could do, so he decided to rely on the bonfire and spend the rest of his time until he fell asleep with Monia.

“It’s dark, so I can’t see very well.”

“Yes?”

At Chester’s words, Monia cautiously approached Chester, who was lying down and resting.

Slightly leaning against Chester’s body, he sits down and shows him the bow he made.

Monia was ashamed of showing her failure to others, but after failing and showing her ugly side to Chester, she didn’t mind showing her immature side to him.

“Hmm.”

Chester carefully inspected the bow Monia made.

“Make the bow stick a bit sharper.”

“Are you sharp?”

“yes. It looks like you copied my bow, but it will be difficult to pull it with your strength.”

“Yes.”

Monia did not go back to her original position, but left the string beside Chester and began to sharpen the bowstring with a claw knife.

Monia uses the fact that the floor is made of bamboo, inserts a bowstring into the gap between the two bamboos, supports the place where the knife will go with her thumb, and skillfully cuts.

After living in the wild for a month, these types of work are now in good shape.

Chester enjoyed a leisurely rest, listening to the song of insects outside, the sound of firewood burning in the bonfire, and the sound of Monia sharpening a bow.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been doing something except for times when I had no choice but to sleep because it was dark.

I thought that if I suffered too much, my body would be fine, but my heart would be sick, so I thought I was enjoying enough things to enjoy, but maybe not.

‘I’m thinking of reducing my activity when it gets hotter, so it might be good to make toys, not just living tools and hunting tools.’

People who efficiently set routes and enjoy running with a sense of leisure, and people who run impatiently while looking only ahead.

Chester knew which one was stronger and could last longer.

So while Chester was leisurely, Monia also hummed a humming song while leisurely sharpening her bowstring.

It was a beautiful moonlit night.

The revolutionaries and the people’s riots were barely suppressed, but the kingdom had no time to rest.

This is because nobles from all sides raised troops and advanced toward the capital while the revolutionary army was rampaging.

The biggest problem among them is that the ducal family is at the apex of the raised nobles.

The ducal family is the family of a great commander who paved the way to glory by leading the army at the time of the founding of the country.

The legendary story did not fade over the years, but instead became a heroic story, a legend, and a myth, and became huge.

Even though the royal family is not without power, there are even people who call it ‘a country created by dukes’.

The family that made the country betrayed the country.

The reason is that the prince unilaterally broke off an engagement close to an oath that had continued between the royal family and the duke’s family, and chose a commoner as his new fiancée.

At the same time, from the point of view of the nobles, the pitiful, beautiful and pitiful daughter of the duke, Monia, who was only a ‘one-sided victim’, was given an excessive punishment by abandoning her on a wandering island.

With an overwhelming cause, feat passed down as legend, and innate charisma, the rebels advanced.

“The duke went directly to the front?”

“Yes! your majesty! There are many nobles who give up resistance and turn after seeing the duke marching forward with his own standard!”

The young and foolish Prince Jordi’s mistake tarnished the honor and trust of the royal family.

When the nobles were dissatisfied with the royal family, the duke acted with a truly human reason of ‘revenge of the daughter’ and a suitable reason as a noble family and subject: ‘purification of the dirty royal family’.

The name duke and its cause attracted people’s attention with the addition of the extreme situation of war, and many nobles fell their flags in front of the overwhelming force of armed forces.

“… … .”

This is not good.

It wasn’t really good.

The king meekly admitted his mistake.

Rather than defending the honor of the royal family by force, they had to move the story more smoothly and generously, even if it slightly undermined their honor.

But it didn’t.

Why?

‘… … .’

The king suddenly looked at his hand.

Wrinkled, wrinkly hands are visible.

‘Right.’

Seeing his offspring too late, the king thought of his young and inexperienced son, who still did not fully understand the value of royalty.

And before I knew it, I became aware of myself with fine wrinkles.

The crown on his head was as heavy as if it had the weight of a country, and the clothes he wore all over his body to protect his majesty weighed as much as a thousand pounds.

Each and every accessory she wore felt like shackles binding the king.

‘I’m old enough that I can’t even make such a simple judgment.’

Life gets old

Time flows without stopping.

In the vast providence of nature that no one can avoid, but because it happens every day, a very obvious truth that no one realizes easily, but one day will definitely come to realize, came to the king.

that it is old.

that the end is near.

And, the person who should succeed him is so immature and stupid that he is still in love with women and wastes time without knowing the reality.

“Send the prince to the battlefield.”

said the king.

“Have them stand in front with their own flags and lead the army.”

The royals risk their lives to stand in front.

Not all old kings, but young princes who should succeed.

With this, the heart and determination of the royal family will be transmitted to the nobles, and the number of people who will surrender will decrease and those who resist will increase.

“Also, I say, this is a commandment.”

“Yes! your majesty!”

In front of the name of the royal family, a cold and painful reality came to the prince who had lived a life like heaven.

“If the prince tries to flee from the battlefield, if the prince chooses a foolish retreat that is not right, deal with it with the sword.”

“I understand, Your Majesty.”

“This is also a punishment for a prince who has corrupted the royal family, so those who carry out the eomyeong must firmly act with a heart of loyalty to the country.”

At the same time, it meant that the tiara, which had been protected by the prince so far, would be thrown naked into the ‘world of nobility’ without a guardian.
