Chapter 60: Building a House
Early the next morning, Gongliang went to the mountains to cut down trees.
It is very simple to build a house, especially if he builds a wooden house on stilts, it is even simpler.
It is nothing more than digging a few pits in the ground and erecting a few pillars, long in front and back, short in the middle, and then riveting a few slightly thinner pieces of wood horizontally. This kind of rough carpentry work that does not require too much elaboration is generally done by rural people. Gongliang's family used to be in the countryside, and he saw people build houses like this, and he knew a little bit.
The trees in the wilderness jungle are very tall, and in order to build the house stronger, Gongliang specially selected a towering giant tree that three people hugged together, and it didn't take a few to turn out.
In the end, he built a three-story stilted building with a middle hall, two rooms on the left and right, and a three-story stilted building in the style of one hall and two rooms, and a corridor in front of the building that can be used as a rest balcony for more than three meters.
After building the house, he cut the unicorn python into several pieces and put it in the room for storage. As soon as the unicorn python that occupied the place was gone, the space instantly widened.
One of the advantages of a stilted building is that people can live on it, and you can plant things or raise something below. However, the three-color rice needs the flesh and blood of the fierce beast to provide nutrients, and it cannot be planted downstairs on stilts. Therefore, Gongliang planted three-color rice in the field where the golden-winged Dapeng eagle and the unicorn python were buried in front of the stilted building, and poured a little blood of the unicorn python that he had never been willing to drink.
Perhaps it is the effect of the unicorn python's heart's blood, and not long after the three-color rice was planted, it grew green shoots.
In the dead space, because of the newborn three-color rice seedlings, there was a sudden vitality.
Gongliang was originally worried that he couldn't grow things in the space, but when he saw that the pepper trees and three-color rice were growing well, he let go of his worries.
Standing in front of the railing of the balcony of the stilted building, looking at the green and tender rice seedlings, and looking at the misty white fog in the distance, he suddenly had a feeling of looking forward to Shenfei, and I had the feeling of the world.
After making weapons and planting three-color rice, Gongliang calmed down. When he had nothing to do, he made a few good dishes, dug up the freshly brewed red gall wine from the ground, and drank it. When the wine entered the abdomen, it immediately turned into a stream of qi and blood essence and was absorbed by the body. After drinking a few times of wine soaked in animals, he found that the wine soaked in the beast's body was the same as the meat of the beast, there was plenty of qi and blood essence, and it was easier to be absorbed by the body, and there was no feeling of dryness and heat, which was very good.
It's just that you can't overdo it, and drinking too much is similar to eating beast meat.
So, now he gave away all the wine that he had previously soaked in non-beast-like things, leaving only the wine soaked in the beast's body.
In fact, even if it is a fierce beast, there are three hundred and sixty-nine kinds, including primary fierce beasts, intermediate fierce beasts and advanced fierce beasts, in addition to the beast king and the legendary desolate beast.
Now that Gongliang's strength has increased, the flesh and blood of the primary fierce beast has no effect on him, at best, it is just to fill his stomach, and the effect of the flesh and blood of the intermediate fierce beast is also slowly decreasing, and only the high-level fierce beast meat can have enough qi and blood essence for him to absorb and increase his strength.
The one-horned python and the golden-winged Dapeng eagle I met in the forest last time didn't know what kind of fierce beast it was, Gongliang only ate a little, and he felt full, and his whole body was full of qi and blood.
It is precisely because of this that he did not take out the meat of the unicorn python and share it with others.
There is something to eat, of course, it is inseparable from the Xiaoshi brothers. The two families are neighbors, and Brother Xiaoshi has a very good nose, as long as he has something to cook at home, he will immediately run over to eat.
"Ah Liang, how is your egg?" asked Xiao Shi as he ate.
Hearing his words, Gongliang felt a pain in his eyes. What his egg, it's a golden-winged Dapeng carved egg.
"It's still the same. Gongliang said.
He didn't dare to eat the remaining egg of the golden-winged Dapeng eagle after all, and was left behind. He thoughtfully made a nest out of animal skins and paddled it, and then placed it in front of the kitchen stove. Every day, I burn wood in the stove to warm it, and wonder if I can use the heat of the firewood to make the eggs hatch. It's a pity that after so many days, the bird's egg still hasn't changed, and I don't know if it's a dead egg.
"Oh"
Xiao Shi just asked casually, and then buried his head in eating.
After taking a few bites, he said again: "Ah Liang, it will be our turn to hunt in two days, I heard that the team coming back from this hunt is going to a tribe called Ma, do you know?"
"Ma, I don't know?" Gongliang shook his head, he knew this Mabe, it was the tribe that had been intermarrying with Yanbu.
"I heard that I want to take the new adult warriors of the tribe to go on a blind date in other tribes. Xiao Shi sneakily approached Gongliang and said.
Gongliang nodded, it is understandable that this is a way to continue the bloodline of the tribe, after all, if you marry with the same clan, the probability of deformed children and genetic diseases is very high, and in the long run, it may even lead to the extinction of the tribe. In their previous life, there were several close relatives in the village next door to them who got married, and the sons born later were all idiots, they couldn't talk or walk, and they were a burden.
"Oh, then are you going too?" the reason why Gongliang asked was because he thought that Xiao Shi was already fourteen years old, and he was considered an adult in the tribe and could get married.
"Don't go. Xiao Shi shook his head and said.
"My brother likes Sister Yuhan. Xiao Xiaoshi next to him accidentally told the truth.
Xiao Shi was embarrassed to bury his head in eating.
I didn't expect this guy to be quite shy, Gongliang didn't feel funny when he saw Xiaoshi's blushing face. Suddenly I felt that there were people outside the house, and when I looked up, I saw Yuhan standing outside, his face pink, and I didn't know if I heard what they said.
"Wu called you over. ”
Yu Han turned around and left after dropping a sentence, completely without the meaning of leaving a meal before. It seems that Xiao Xiaoshi's words just now were listened to by her, and she doesn't know whether it is a curse or a blessing for Xiao Shi.
Xiao Shi was so ashamed that he almost buried his head in the stone bowl, and Gongliang clearly saw that his ears were red.
After eating, Gongliang came to Wu's stone house. Everything inside is still the same, and Yuhan, who had been staying in the witch house, disappeared completely.
"Witch. Gongliang greeted respectfully.
"Here you are, sit. Wu handed the prepared things to Gongliang, "This time, your hunting team has made a meritorious contribution to hunting the Beastmaster, and the tribe specially rewarded none of you with a piece of Beastmaster's leather armor, as well as some pills made of herbs and the flesh and blood of the Beastmaster. If you use it, it will be very useful for restoring qi and blood. This leather armor is made of the skin of the beastmaster, which can block the attack of swords and spears, and even the claws of fierce beasts cannot hurt it. ”
"Thank you, Wu. ”
"This is what your hunting team deserves. Do you still want to see the outside world?"
"Yes, Wu. ”
"You... Have you ever thought about staying, inheriting everything from me, and becoming a witch of the tribe? ”
When Gongliang heard Wu's words, he raised his head in surprise, and when he saw that Wu was not joking, he hurriedly said firmly: "I'm sorry, Wu, I don't want to stay in this place for the rest of my life, the world is so vast, I want to go out and see what the scenery outside of Yanbu is different." ”
Wu looked at Gongliang, shook his head and said, "Since my mind has been decided, I can't say anything more." ”
As he spoke, Wu walked to the side shelf, took off a hug of animal skins, and said, "Here are some records of herbs and how to make pills, maybe they will be useful to you." There are also some animal skins that are the records of the outside world of Yanbe from the previous generations of witches. I've been around for a long time, and it's not like no one has left the tribe, so you might be able to get some guidance from it. ”
"Thank you. Gongliang bowed sincerely and thanked him.
"I can only help you get here, I hope you don't forget Yanbe after you leave here, and you can come back one day. ”
"Definitely. ”
"Go!" Wu waved his hand and said, "By the way, in a few days, the adult warriors of the tribe will go to Mabe, you might as well go and see it." ”
"Yes. ”
Looking at the departing Gongliang, Wu shook his head, young is good! He was also young, and he also hoped to soar in the sky like a bird, and penetrate the sea of clouds to see if the distant sky was wonderful. It's a pity that not far after leaving the tribe, he encountered a fierce beast and sank into the sand, and later became a witch of the tribe. In the tribe, some people respected him, some feared him, some loved him, some called him a prophet, some said he was an all-powerful witch, some saw him as a light to guide the way in the darkness, but in fact, he was just an old man who lived a long time.
A person who has lived for a long time and experienced too many things naturally understands many things.
