Chapter 61: Start Over

"Yang, there's still one over there. John pointed in the other direction.

But this time it's not cornfields, it's a variety of crops.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect there to be such a big natural farm here. I said with a smile.

"Take some of each with us, and we'll go back and plant them. I continued.

Onions, ginger and garlic are nothing, and the most valuable harvest this time is chili, which I haven't eaten for a long time.

We returned to the station with two large bags full of food, and we were overjoyed that we realized that we had not gone hunting.

However, we still have physical reserves that can last a little, and the most important thing now is to build the fence and plant those ingredients.

"Where did you find these, and where did you go back?" asked Liu Yue.

"No, we found a natural farm. John said happily.

"Okay, okay, let's talk slowly, and get to work. I said.

"You guys find a place to plant these crops. I said to the women.

"John Paul, hurry up and finish the ladder. I said.

"The rest of the people are divided into two groups, you cut the timber into five four meters, one five meters or so, and you continue to lay the foundation. I said and began to assign work.

"What about you?" the crowd asked.

"I'm going to punch holes in the wood. I said.

"What are you punching for?" the crowd asked.

"Use bamboo strips through the holes to connect these woods, so as to ensure the stability of the wall, this layer is built, we build another layer about half a meter away from this layer of wall, between the two layers with crossed wooden sticks as support, and then use rattan to connect the two layers of walls, and then fill in the soil inside, that is, strengthen the wall, by the way, you can also build a platform on it. "I told you the whole thing at once.

"What do you use to punch holes?" said Liuyue.

I smiled and didn't speak, I just picked up a thick piece of bamboo, tied rope at both ends to bend the bamboo piece into a bow, and then wrapped the rope around the dagger grip.

I put the tip of the dagger in the position where I wanted to punch the hole, pulled the bow-shaped bamboo piece back and forth, and the dagger turned, although the efficiency was not very high, but it could barely be regarded as a drill bit.

"You're amazing. Ling Han said.

"Nothing can bother you. Liu Yue said.

"Alright, let's get to work. I said.

With a clear division of labor and proper coordination, the project will naturally progress quickly, and the main thing is that no one will be lazy, because this is for our own sake.

John and Paul's flip-flops were finally finished, and I set up a ladder and began to top the wood on the ground, but the process was a bit laborious, and John and Paul helped me.

"If only there was a sledgehammer, it's hard to hit a rock. I said to myself.

"I've thought about it for a long time, take it. Liu Yue said and handed over a large wooden hammer.

"When did you get it?" I asked, surprised.

"I wanted to get it with your hole punch, but I don't know how to make it. Liu Yue said.

"Good things, artifacts, hurry up and get a few more. I said excitedly.

"No problem, leave it to me. Liu Yue said with a smug smile.

With a sledgehammer, we installed nearly half of the fence by noon, and in order to rush the work, we ate a little food and continued to work.

At the position of the gate, we have embedded three thick logs with holes, two vertically, one on the ground, and one on the top with a mortise and tenon structure, so that the gate frame is ready.

However, this jamb has delayed us a lot.

"Hurry up, it's almost done, and strive to finish the first layer of the fence today, so that you can sleep soundly at night. I said.

The next thing is to work hard, everyone knows the importance of this wall, and several women are also sweating, not to mention the three of us.

Finally, when it was dark, the last log was successfully buried, and looking at the first layer of the fence in front of them, everyone was very excited to see the fruits of their labor.

"I said what do you want, five meters or four meters, it turns out that you have prepared the fence on the wall in advance. Ling Han said.

"It's not just the fence, the vines can be fixed directly to the section that grows. I said.

"But there's no door yet. Liu Yue said.

"I'll have to get it again tomorrow, but now I'll find some random wood and put it up to plug the gap. I said.

After doing everything, everyone sat around the campfire again, and with the wall, their hearts were indeed much more steady.

"It's a pity that there are no seasonings, not to mention anything else, just a little salt. Ling Han said.

"Let's look again tomorrow when we hunt, maybe there's a salt lake or a salt cave?" I said with a smile.

"How can you be so lucky. Liu Yue said.

"But it's nice to have these crops. Rumeng said.

Everyone thinks about the future, so mentality is very important, and this is also the foundation of our survival.

It can be said that I slept very soundly this night, and the familiar voices of everyone kept echoing in my ears.

The first thing I did when I woke up the next day was to start building the door, and the hunting was left to John and Paul for the time being.

The women were also busy building the second layer of the wall, but this second layer of the wall took a little longer, maybe the first layer of the wall had been successful, so everyone was not so panicked.

The next few days went well, every day was to build the home, and the second layer of the fence was completed three days later, which was a time-consuming step to fill in the middle of the two layers of wall.

"Add some water and straw to the soil, mix it evenly and fill it slowly, not too much water. "I instructed the girls who were playing with the mud.

"With such a large volume, when do you have to fill it? Liu Yue said.

"Take your time, anyway, the last thing we need right now is time. I said with a smile.

"You didn't say you were going to find salt. Ling Han said.

"Okay, okay, I'll look for it today. I said.

Leaving Paul with the ladies to look after the house, John and I set out again, this time to places we had never set foot before.

"I don't have a clue, how to find it. John said.

"Follow the animals. I said.

"Follow the animals?" asked John, somewhat puzzled.

"Yes, you don't look at the animal world, sheep and deer, they also need to take some salt, they must know where salt is. I said.

"Why do animals eat salt?" John said.

"The sodium in salt can maintain the balance of water, electrolytes and acid-base in the body, and can also regulate the normal physiological activities of the heart, and at the same time have a certain promotion effect on nerve conduction and gastrointestinal peristalsis.

John shook his head, looked at me blankly, and said, "Yang, I think you're an encyclopedia." ”

"It's not that exaggerated, I just usually learn more miscellaneous things. I said with a smile.

"Hey, if only there was a horse, it's really inefficient to walk like this. John said.

"yes, why don't we look for salt today. I stopped and said.

"So what are we going to do?" asked John.

"Let's catch two horned zebras and go back. I said with a smile.

"You mean to tame the mount?" John said excitedly.

"That's right, sharpening knives is not wrong for woodcutters, and if we have mounts, we will be much more efficient when we go out to run errands in the future. I said.

"Yes, I agree, but how?" said John.

"Trap, have you forgotten how we caught the deer in the first place?" I said.

"Okay, okay, that's it. John was jumping with excitement.

"Then let's find a good place and go. I said as I walked forward.

"It should be nice here, it looks like the trail is often walked by animals. My cat said in the woods, pointing ahead.

"Okay, then we're here. John said as he began to prepare the rope.

I also started to lay traps, and the next step was to wait for the rabbit, but we set up a total of three rope traps to increase the success rate.

After much thought, the two of them finally decided to hide in the trees, first, to have a better view, and secondly, to prevent us from becoming prey.
