Chapter 105: Building a Thatched House
When she was young and still lived in the countryside, Ye Ke's house was renovated, and she vaguely remembered that she had to lay the foundation first, then build the wall, put on the beams, and build the roof, these steps, I don't know if they are right.
But it should be basically the same, and there is no such condition to build a brick house here, but the principle is the same in her opinion.
She first drew a large rectangle on the ground with a simple measuring tool with Vader Arbor, and then directed a group of males to dig a hole in this area.
Originally, the people of the outer tribes also brought some tools to hoe the land this time, but the exposure in the dry season made the land hard and stone-like.
After the male turned into a beast form, he used the power of the beast soul to attach to the claws, and only then did he dig up a large area here, until two or three meters underground, and the soil began to be a little damp.
When the digging reached a similar depth, Ye Ke asked the tribesmen to find four trunks of trees about the same height, ready to bury them and use them as support pillars for the thatched house.
He also asked Vader Abel to make some interfaces at one end of the four tree trunks according to his usual experience in making tools, so that it is convenient to connect the roof beams on the top, which must be fixed, otherwise the roof is not good to spread straw mats and hay on the top.
While the people were burying the trunks, Vader Abel was surrounded by many people, and they were very enthusiastic to ask what the strange incisions were for, how to cut them, and so on.
After answering them one by one, in order to confirm what he said, Vader Abel picked four more sturdy tree trunks as the top beams.
He then made the interface between the wooden pillars used to support each other at both ends of each beam, and then commanded several males to form animal shapes and lift the beams, so that the general framework was almost ready.
The clansmen exclaimed, thinking it was amazing, but they didn't expect these tree trunks to really be able to pick them up.
Then there are some long split wooden strips fixed on the roof, about 10 centimeters apart, and the two sections are fixed on the beams, so that when the straw mat is laid out for a while, it is easy to support and will not fall off easily.
Straw mats made by several females were covered on the roof of the house, and then three sides of the overall frame were blocked to make a simple wall.
The left side is only blocked by more than half, and the empty place is just in and out, Ye Ke plans to let everyone get a door again, or the curtain will come out, anyway, the weather is too hot, it doesn't matter if there is.
Finally, when some of the cut hay was evenly spread on the roof, a simple thatched hut to protect from the sun was built.
Thanks to the experience of Vader Abel's research, after Ye Ke told him several simple tenon and tenon structures, he also thought of more fixing methods, so that this simple thatched house was also very strong.
The clansmen in the tribe began to marvel again, and many of the people involved were very proud, even if they didn't know what the witch doctor was going to do, when the grass hut was built, the clansmen all understood, and their eyes were bright and looked at the witch doctor and Vader.
With the experience of building the first thatched house, Ye Ke didn't have to command it personally, and Vader Abel and a few peripheral clansmen also knew better than her what to pay attention to.
It is also intended to let the clansmen have more contact with the peripheral clansmen, Ye Keke does not want the 'technicians' he has cultivated to be squeezed out by everyone because of his old concepts.
So the house building operation began in full swing, and people seemed to have forgotten that the valley, which had just lost the season of habitation for a long time, was full of spirit and erected the first thatched house in their lives.
"Ke'er, are you tired?" Xing Han pulled Ye Ke to the grass on the side, wanting her to rest, after all, I don't know how she spent the night.
"Well, okay..."She just stood for a while, and said for a long time, Ye Ke was indeed a little tired, especially the mental fatigue, which made her want to sleep for a while.
After taking two steps, I found that Tucker, who was covered in grass and threw himself into Grandma Ona's arms, was covered in dry black mud and cried vigorously.
After the child was rescued, he wiped his tears with wilts, and was very happy to see Ye Ke return safely.
But Tucker felt that it was because of his sister Kerr that he was kidnapped, and he blamed himself very much, and he kept sobbing here, not daring to walk over.
"Tucker..."Ye Ke walked over in a few steps, and when he saw the little male who was crying, he couldn't help but want to laugh a little, "Who said that you want to be a little man? How can a man cry!"
Grandma Ona and Wolf Ge also looked at Ye Ke with excited expressions, they were not only worried because Ye Ke was a witch doctor.
It's more about the relationship between them during this time, and when they see people coming back, their eyes are red, and they didn't get over just now, and Tucker couldn't stop crying.
"But... But because of me, Sister Ke'er was kidnapped, and I was blamed for being too stupid and deceived by them... Woo," Tucker said silently.
In the evening, Tucker was playing at the mouth of the cave, and Emma's cubs came to show him goodwill, but the little cubs were not much defense, although they had fought before, they still played together.
After following them some distance away from the cave, Rize appeared out of nowhere, covered Tucker's mouth and nose, knocked the man unconscious, and gave a bag of jerky to Emma's cub.
Touching Little Tucker's head, Ye Ke said softly, "Their main target is you Sister Ke'er, speaking of which, I have caused you to be tired, are you blaming Sister?"
"No... No, hiccup..."Tucker sobbed, and couldn't help but burp, and then he was embarrassed to cry, he was a little scared today, and it was much better to cry.
"That's right, Sister Ke'er, Xiao Huang is dying. Tucker's voice was hoarse, and his big eyes, which had just cried, were a little moist.
This boy is really made of water. Ye Ke couldn't help but sigh when he saw that Tucker was about to shed tears again, but he continued, "Take Sister Ah to see..."
In fact, Ye Ke was still slightly surprised, but he didn't expect that in a panic, Wolf Yue remembered to bring Xiao Huang over.
After waiting for it to pass, Xiao Huang didn't look very good, except that he was still breathing weakly, and he didn't react.
Although Xiao Huang is just an ordinary quack beast, he has been with Ye Ke for a long time, and there seems to be no more effective way to treat it except for using skills to treat it at the moment.
Turning his head to look at Tucker, who was starting to tear again, Ye Ke looked at the busy clansmen in the distance again, no one seemed to notice this, but he still had to be careful.
"Xing Han, I have something to tell you..."Ye Ke looked up at Xing Han, beckoned to him, and suddenly felt as if he had grown a little taller, and he didn't know if it was an illusion.
Leaning over to his ear, Xing Han's ears were disturbed by Ye Ke's whispers, but after hearing the content, a pair of narrow starry eyes showed a little shock.
