Chapter 57: Renovating the Camp
I opened my eyes in a daze, and saw Nie Chunxian in my arms staring at me with a slightly red face.
"It's dawn?"
Looking around, the sky was already dark, and the fire in the fire did not know when it was extinguished.
"Why don't you let go?"
At this time, I felt that my hands and feet were almost unconscious, and after letting go of Nie Chunxian, the blood flowed back, and I felt that there were thousands of ants crawling all over my body.
Nie Chunxian went to wash, and I was still sitting there because I couldn't get up at all......
After yesterday's incident, the people in the camp have become well-behaved, and when they see Nie Chunxian, they will respectfully shout "Nie is good".
It's like a student meeting a teacher at school.
The first thing I did after the resumption was to see how the ceramics were doing.
When I turned on the stove, the temperature inside had dropped, but I could still feel a little warm.
Shi Dahai picked up a jar and looked at it, the appearance was round and smooth, and he didn't know what was going on the inside.
I looked inside the jar, and it was quite smooth, similar to the jar of pickled sauerkraut I had seen in my hometown before, which should be considered a success, right?
"How's that?
Shi Dahai nodded and said, "It's just a little rough, and you can feel it when you touch it." Maybe the clay found is not filtered well, or it may be that the internal temperature of the furnace is not enough. ”
"It's good that we can make such a jar under our current conditions, and the higher requirements are exempted. ”
With clay pots there are better water reservoirs, but there is not much fresh water stored in those bamboo cups.
I took someone to the place where I dug up the water before to check it, and the groundwater was no longer seeping, and I guess I had to dig down.
However, after digging for an hour, it was almost two meters deep, and there was still no water in sight, and the soil was quite wet.
"There must be water down there, but it should be at a deep depth, and we can't waste our energy digging and we have to find other ways to get safe drinking water." ”
The water in the waterhole is stagnant, and other small animals come here to drink, and there is animal droppings and a lot of rotting branches and leaves.
Even if this water is boiled, it is unhygienic because the water that looks clear is cloudy when boiled, like water in a toilet bowl......
"Oh my God, can you drink this?"
Xiao Qian pinched her nose and looked at the water in the jar, which looked yellow like urine, and the key was that it also emitted an unpleasant smell.
"It's boiled and drinkable. ”
It's a little hard to swallow, so in order to make sure that it can kill the bacteria inside, I boil the water for an extra ten minutes after boiling, usually ten minutes of high temperature can kill all the germs.
But I'm not sure if there are any germs in the water that are particularly tenacious.
I'm going to drink a little bit, and if I don't show any discomfort after an hour or two, it means that the water can be drunk with confidence.
I slapped a glass of water with a goblet, and I felt disgusted when I looked at the yellow water, so I thought it was beer.
"How's it going?"
Xiaoqian is very concerned about this issue.
I licked my lips, "Seriously, it smells and tastes like toilet water." ”
"Huh, that's disgusting. ”
Nie Chunxian frowned and looked at me, feeling that my description was simply stimulating everyone's nerves.
An hour passed, and I didn't show any symptoms of discomfort and could make everyone drink.
Here, we have to exercise every day to burn water, so we need to replenish about a liter or more of water every day to maintain physical strength.
Xiao Qian looked at the yellow water, pinched her nose and took a sip, closed her eyes and swallowed it.
"How?"
Nie Chunxian hasn't drunk it yet, she really has no appetite, and she wants to vomit when she looks at this water, especially after hearing my description again.
"It's a little astringent, but it's fresh water. ”
With the water problem out of the way, it's time to think about renovating the camp.
"Winter is coming, and we have to take advantage of this time when the days are still warm to renovate the camp. ”
"What does it look like?"
Nie Chunxian was also concerned about this issue, and now she was the leader of the camp.
I crouched down and drew a figure of a new camp on the sand with a twig, which looked like many mushrooms......
"This mushroom-shaped house is relatively easy to build, and it has little space and is easy to keep warm. ”
I've already figured out that a mushroom house for five people is just right, and the wooden house can be used as a warehouse.
"What do you think?"
The deputy captain was the first to agree.
Nie Chunxian nodded and said, "That's it." ”
In addition to building houses and fortifications, I plan to build a fence around the camp, the materials are in the forest, and the stone wall is more secure!
After discussion, I led the men to build the wall, and Nie Chunxian led the women to build the mushroom house.
The mushroom house is made of branches to form a circular frame, and then the gaps are filled with mud mixed with weeds, and when it dries, it becomes a shelter from the wind and rain.
Before the wall is built, the foundation must be laid, and if the foundation is not laid, the wall is a dangerous wall.
Generally, when laying the foundation, it is necessary to mark the ground with lime powder, but here it can only be replaced by plant ash.
"Why don't we build a house out of stone when we're all built with stones?"
Zhao Si put forward his own idea, a house made of stone is a real house, and the security is a hundred times stronger than that of a wooden house.
"I've thought about what you're talking about, but I don't think it's feasible considering all aspects. ”
The first is that there are a lot of people in the camp, and the second is that you have to consider that men and women live separately, and the amount of work is far larger than building wooden houses, and then there are not so many materials to repair the houses after the walls are built.
Originally, I wanted to build a circular wall, but it was difficult to make a round wall, so it was better to make a boxy wall.
There is one gate in the east, west, north and south directions, and two watchtowers are built without each gate, so that there is no need to patrol at night, and only people need to be stationed at the watchtowers.
Eight people from four directions can pay attention to the situation around the camp from all directions.
I plan to build a wall two meters high, and in order to make it strong, the foundation will have to be half a meter deep.
"Are you planning to build a city?"
During the break, I drew a detailed sketch, and Nie Chunxian sighed after reading it.
"Yes, to be precise, it's a cottage, and you're the big boss of this cottage. ”
As for me, I was wronged to sit in the second position.
"What about me?"
Xiao Qian has a little star in her eyes, she is Nie Chunxian's personal little secretary, if this Nie Chunxian is the big boss of the cottage, then can she mix up a three-master house?
"You, you're still a secretary, a little follower of the big boss. ”
I originally wanted to say that it was a maid, but after thinking about it, forget it, it's not a real bandit cottage, so there's no need to be so feudal.
