Chapter 23 Pool Sea View Room and Kittens
He was granted leave of absence by the old priest of Caporeni.
But the old man meant to wait until the dust had settled after the new chieftain's sacrifice had been held.
Anyway, waking up every day to play soy sauce, the day passes and it means that some of the gold coins are in the pocket.
Lin Xiaobao was not in a hurry.
After gradually getting used to the environment of the volcanic island, I was not as anxious as I was at the beginning.
The large grass-covered roof is very insulated, and with the 24-hour ventilation of glassless windows, and the mosquito net at night, you can barely sleep peacefully.
The old priest of Caporeni and Delia took turns teaching him the local indigenous language, which was indeed a simple language that was relatively easy to master, and his learning progress was rapid in his progress.
Today is the twelfth day of the exile on the volcanic island.
After the huge fleet of ships that helped to go to the freighter to collect the construction was fully loaded, Lin Xiaobao once again made a moth.
After a field trip, he had a whim.
I plan to divert the stream flowing down from the crater to the entrance of the "royal palace" and dig a swimming pool in front of my house, which can be regarded as making up for the regret of not having the money to buy a sea-view mansion with a swimming pool.
Delia had just listened to his vision a few seconds ago.
At this time, I finally couldn't hold back and asked a direct question: "If you want to swim, you can walk for a while to the waterhole, closer to the sea, you can swim whenever you want, why dig a pool in front of your home?"
For a while, Lin Xiaobao felt that she was more reasonable, and she also began to think about this problem.
In the end, willfulness is greater than reason.
Lin Xiaobao didn't give up, and said casually: "You think, if there is a private swimming pool specially for us, and then plant flowers and fruit trees around it, swim if you want to swim, and raise fish if you want to raise fish, so that you can see a beautiful home every day when you get up, how comfortable, the weather is too hot and you can soak directly in the water, so many people go to the pool, it is not very hygienic." ”
The renovated Chief's Palace is located upstream of the stream, and Lin Xiaobao is not worried about the water being polluted, but once the pool is dug, the other villagers should be even more worried.
Delia was not persuaded by Lin Xiaobao.
She was ashamed of the words "ours" and "getting up every day".
Suddenly the head was not enough.
He didn't ask why he didn't go swimming in the sea, but said, "Okay, tell me how big I want to dig, and I'll let people dig now!"
Wind and fire, not dragging mud and water at all.
Lin Xiaobao likes her cheerfulness.
Immediately, the fox pretended to be a tiger and accompanied Delia to find the villagers in the tribe for help.
These people don't need to work, they don't need to go to school, and it's just such an island, where larger projects have been completed over hundreds of years, and there are very few material needs.
In addition to picking and hunting and getting food every day, the rest is just idle, or playing games and chatting in groups, and the days can be seen at a glance.
Just like going to the freighter to dismantle building materials a few days ago, Delia stood on the road and shouted a few words, and twenty or thirty people rushed in, and it was still increasing.
Knowing that they were going to dig a pool, they each went home and brought their tools.
An engineering team was pulled up in a blink of an eye, and it didn't even need to be paid, and it didn't even need to be eaten.
......
In front of the thatched hut palace.
After Lin Xiaobao checked the terrain, he carved out a large piece of land next to the house.
It is about ten meters long and seven meters wide, and as for the depth...... He picked a tall man, about 1.8 meters, and asked Delia to tell them that he should stand at the top of his head level with the ground around him.
Many villagers didn't understand why they were digging, they just knew that it was the will of Kula, the god of fishermen, and that he would be a chief in the future, so they just had to do it.
Most people were holding primitive tools, but Lin Xiaobao unexpectedly saw a few shovels.
He finally understood who had taken the tools to shovel coal and burn boilers on the freighter, and he didn't believe that with the smelting technology of the volcanic island, he could successfully make a shovel.
Pastor Kaporene couldn't stay idle, took a short break for two days, and went out again, saying that he was going to the volcano to look for something, but Lin Xiaobao thought he was going to look for herbs, so he didn't ask much.
I'll finish the instructions now.
Through Delia, he made the villagers understand how to dig, while he was busy lazy.
Go to the house first.
A few villagers with no experience in renovation were leveling the land, and Lin Xiaobao was trampling on the already laid wooden planks.
When you hear a creak, call for Delia.
Ask her to help tell them that they should apply thin mud behind the planks and then stick it on the ground, preferably with a few more layers of sand, so that it is less likely to be eaten by insects and is stronger.
Regarding the house she wants to live in the future, Delia is naturally very attentive, and according to Lin Xiaobao's suggestion, she tirelessly acts as a translator.
After listening to this, the men who originally just put wooden planks on the ground were amazed at Lin Xiaobao's cleverness.
Afterwards, they exchanged heads and praised that they were worthy of Kula.
It seems to belong to the kind of people who will help count the money after being sold, too simple and enthusiastic......
Find a few plantain leaves.
Lin Xiaobao dragged them to the west.
About thirty meters from the house was enclosed and a ring of stakes nailed, in which four sheep were mixed and a pig that had been liberated and had long since been wildened.
The little piglet sent by others, after being locked up and tossed for a few days, seems to have accepted his fate now.
When Lin Xiaobao threw the banana leaves to the ground, he ran happily with his chirp, competing with the sheep for food, biting a leaf and running to the side.
Unknown seabirds stand on the fence, barking incessantly, with red beaks and sideways grooming feathers.
Overhead, it is shaded by the branches of tall and dense trees, and you can faintly hear the sound of waves crashing on the beach, and it feels cool to stay in the forest.
Watching the pigs and sheep eat, Lin Xiaobao inexplicably felt quite relaxed.
A ewe appears to be pregnant and has a very large belly.
The ram next to it is larger, with curved horns, a mustache on its chin, a brown head and a white body.
These are Boer goats that are native to South Africa.
Because of its large size, fast growth, and large meat production, it was brought to the world for breeding in the early years, and it is not surprising that it appeared on this volcanic island.
A few days ago, Lin Xiaobao also ate mutton, but unfortunately there was no cumin and chili, otherwise the taste would definitely be better.
After a while.
Delia came up to him and told him, "They're already stirring the dirt, what are you doing, that little pig is still alive?"
"It's not dead, it's eating, and when I sum up the experience of raising pigs, it proves that it can be fed, and then I will make a pigsty to raise pigs, remember to introduce the best hunters to me, I want to catch a few more pigs back." ”
Delia nodded:
"Okay, when we're done digging the pool, I'll let them chop wood. But why do you have to raise pigs, I found a few kittens in the morning, you can bring one back. ”
There are indeed cats on the island, and there are more than one.
Lin Xiaobao has seen it, it is estimated that it is a product of the island before it was closed, there are many mice on the boat, and the people who run the boat like to raise cats to help catch mice, and they also came to the volcanic island with the boat.
When he heard that there were kittens and cubs, he immediately came to his senses and asked Delia, "Where is it?" Take me to see ......."
