"We finally met."

"Fight, fight, why not fight?"

"Hahaha! Lao Hu is really alert. He's worried that the pheasant will be caught by Group A."

"Group C hasn't found much to eat these days. Poor Reba and Tangtang."

"You guys said that AC group will catch the pheasant."

The members of Group A and Group C met, and the audience watching the live broadcast instantly became excited, and the barrage of comments surged like a tide.

The pheasant had been chased away by Hu Ge and Reba for a long time and no one knew where it had been taken. After the two groups met, the atmosphere suddenly became tense because of the food.

"Ha! We've been hungry for two days. When we saw the food, we got a little hungry. Lao Hu is just protecting the food. He has no other intention." Reba tried to smooth things over.

"Have you been hungry for two days? Aren't you full every day? We have been eating spicy strips, lobsters, and coconut snails these days. Yesterday we had a meal of yam stewed with rabbit. It tasted so delicious." Zhang Yixing glanced at the tired Lao Hu and Reba, and he was very proud.

Reba's mouth started watering after hearing this, and her stomach started to growl uncomfortably.

"I don't believe you at all. You are deliberately trying to tempt us, right? Reba, let's go back." The pheasant was lost, and Lao Hu had to listen to Zhang Yixing talking about how good the food was every day. He was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, but he could do nothing about it. The mouth is on the other person's body, so he couldn't cover the other person's mouth to stop him from speaking.

Reba smiled awkwardly, touched her protesting stomach, and secretly regretted how she was betrayed by this sudden hunger.

After Li Xiang set up the pheasant trap, they also went back home.

…….

"Teacher Li, Yixing, you are back. Fatty and I found bamboo rats in a bamboo forest. Fatty and I don't know how to set traps, so we dug some bamboo shoots and bamboos and came back. Teacher Li, I will take you to the bamboo forest to set traps and catch bamboo rats." When Huang Xiaoming and Li Yinsheng returned to the camp, Li Xiang and Zhang Yixing had not returned yet. After he rested for a while, he saw Li Xiang coming back and immediately went to greet him.

"Okay, I'll go right away." When Li Xiang heard that there were bamboo rats to catch, his eyes lit up. Their team now had a new source of food.

"I'll go too." Liu Yifei was very interested in this kind of thing, she said quickly.

"Yingbao and I will stay in the camp, and the four of you can go. Also, cut some more bamboos. I happen to be a carpenter, so I can make a table and some chairs.

Just come back before noon, we will prepare lunch and wait for you." Li Yinsheng arranged.

"Okay!" The four of them responded, quickly packed up their things, picked up their hoes and axes, and followed Huang Xiaoming towards the bamboo forest.

Yingbao stayed in the camp and started preparing food for lunch. She first washed the seafood she had caught this morning.

As for Li Yinsheng, she selected a bamboo suitable for making a bamboo flute. She planned to make a bamboo flute by herself. On the one hand, she could play it for entertainment and pass the time. On the other hand, the song "Jinsha Summer" she wrote for Zhang Yixing also needed an accompaniment. Otherwise, if she sang it a cappella, the cheerful rhythm of the song would be lost.

It just so happened that she knew how to play the flute, and it took some basic carpentry skills to make a bamboo flute, which only took a little more time.

Generally, mature bamboos that have grown for more than three years are used to make bamboo flutes, and purple bamboo, bitter bamboo, and Xiangfei bamboo are the best. These bamboos not only have suitable density and elasticity, but also have beautiful texture and color.

Li Yinsheng selected a bamboo of moderate size and cut it into 60 cm pieces. After peeling the bamboo, it needs to be soaked in water to prevent cracking. At the same time, the bamboo is heated with fire to make it softer and easier to process and straighten. Then the bamboo joints are opened and the inner wall is brushed clean with fine sand to make the pronunciation smooth, the air flow vibration uniform, and the tone pure.

Cut and grind the processed bamboo to a certain size and shape. First cut one end of the bamboo into a bevel, and then grind the other end according to the shape of the flute.

Next, Li Yinsheng began to make the flute holes.

Li Yinsheng knows that the position and size of the flute holes are directly related to the flute's pitch and timbre, so she is very careful with every step. She first uses a marker to gently outline the approximate position of each hole on the bamboo. These positions are precisely calculated to meet the harmony of the melody and the comfort of the fingers pressing the holes. For this comfort, Li Yinsheng calculated the holes according to the size of her fingers.

Then, she carefully used a sharp knife to slowly cut at the marked points. Each cut was accompanied by a soft "hissing" sound, which was the sound of the bamboo fibers being cut.

After the holes were cut, Li Yinsheng did not rush to test the sound, but started to polish them again, carefully polishing the edges of each hole to ensure that the hole mouth was smooth and free of burrs, so as not to affect the airflow or scratch the fingers when playing.

The polishing process also requires patience and meticulousness. She checks over and over again until every hole is flawless.

After completing the holes, Li Yinsheng began to install the mouthpiece and membrane holes on the flute.

The mouthpiece is the key part of the flute to produce sound, so she specially prepared a piece of bamboo membrane with a soft texture and moderate elasticity, and carefully attached it to the membrane hole. This step may seem simple, but it is actually very particular. The tightness and position of the membrane will affect the timbre and volume of the flute.

Li Yinsheng completed this step quickly. She tried blowing gently, but the sound was not as clear and pleasant as she had imagined. At this time, she had to adjust the tightness and position of the membrane.

She held her breath and gently pressed her fingertips on the edge of the membrane hole, fine-tuning the fit between the membrane and the hole. After each slight adjustment, she would try blowing again, listening carefully to the subtle changes in tone.

After several attempts, finally, a melodious and clear flute sound flowed out from the bamboo tube, like a clear spring in the mountains or the singing of birds in the forest, pleasant to the ears and refreshing.

"Look, the fat girl actually made a bamboo flute."

"What a talent! It seems that Group A has a lot of entertainment activities. They haven't even made mahjong yet, but now they have made a bamboo flute."

"Yes, this is definitely an all-round player. One cannot help but admire him!"

"Didn't Fatty say before that she would write a song for each member of Group A? Last night, Fatty pulled Yixing aside and talked for a long time. Did Fatty's song already be written? Yixing said yesterday, "Stay tuned." Does that mean we're going to sing Fatty's new song today?"

"Hearing what the people above said, it's very likely."

“I’m looking forward to the new song written by Fatty. I wonder if it’s good.”

“Look forward to the evening!”

Netizens who watched the live broadcast left messages expressing their curiosity and anticipation for Pangniu's new song, and the atmosphere in the live broadcast room became even more heated. The comments crossed the screen like a meteor shower, expressing their infinite anticipation for the new song that was about to be revealed.
