Chapter 462: Boiling Wall Mud
Ah Hai also thought of the heavy rain that night, and he couldn't help frowning. He woke up that day soaking wet, windy and rainy, but thankfully he had enough physical stamina to survive the night, not knowing that Anna was on the island, if he knew...... Thankfully, Anna didn't have an accident.
Seeing Ah Hai frowning as if she was in a fugue, Anna asked anxiously, "Brother Ah Hai, will it rain here again?"
Ah Hai came back to his senses and said:
"Anna, you're right, maybe we should pitch a tent first. He didn't know how long they would be stuck on the island, and it would be terrible if it rained again and there was no shelter from it.
Ah Hai picked up the branches he had again and began to sharpen them, which were originally used to make rafts, but now they can also be used to build tents.
Ah Hai swept a clearing in the woods by the beach, dug four holes in the four corners to fix the four main pavilion pillars, and fixed the bottom and upper parts of the four pavilion pillars with sharpened tree poles, and a rudimentary skeleton of a boxy house was built. Because it was just to give them a place to stay on a rainy day, the brackets of the house were not high, and after the brackets were fixed, he began to make the roof.
"What kind of imitation water is used for the roof, or is it still used for plantain leaves?" Anna asked curiously, feeling that her burns had healed a lot, as she sat down next to Ah Hai, who was still chipping wood. Actually, she wanted to help, although she couldn't help with the wood because she didn't have extra knives, but she could help collect the banana leaves!
Ah Hai glanced at Anna, who didn't know what she was thinking, and instead of answering Anna's question, he asked, "Are you hungry?"
Anna: "......"
Bastard!
But she was really hungry.
"No!" Anna said stiffly.
"Oh. Ah Hai smiled, stopped what he was doing, and said, "I'm hungry, eat some dried fish first, are you really not hungry?"
Anna: "......"
In one afternoon, Ah Hai built all the brackets of the house, but they were only brackets, not waterproof and windproof, Anna couldn't help but be a little curious, and didn't know what Ah Hai was going to do next. Of course, if he needs to collect banana leaves, she will be happy to help.
The house was not yet set up, and they could not live in it, so they spent the night by the fire, but fortunately it did not rain, and although they had been harassed by mosquitoes, they were able to survive the night.
The next day, after Ah Hai went to the sea early in the morning to catch a few small fish, he carried a backpack that he didn't know where to find and entered the forest, although Anna also wanted to go in with him, but Ah Hai refused, but Ah Hai gave her a task, that is, to pick up seaweed, saying that it was useful.
There was a lot of seaweed washed up on the beach, because of the injury on her leg, Ah Hai did not allow her to pick up the seaweed that was still in the water, and only let her pick it up in a place where there was no seawater. Anna agreed, but she cleverly got herself a long twig to use to catch the seaweed that was still in the water.
When Ah Hai returned with a full backpack, he saw a half-human-high mountain of seaweed piled up next to the fire.
Ahai looked at Anna suspiciously, but Anna smiled at him smugly.
He said, "Why are ......there so many?" and Ah Hai looked at Anna's legs, his eyes showing some displeasure. Anna didn't know what he was thinking, she immediately picked up the branch used to hook the seaweed, and said, "I didn't go into the water, I hooked it with a branch!"
Hai: "......"
Knowing that Anna did not go into the water, he was relieved, but when he saw Anna's little expression on her face, he felt that his palms were itchy, and for some reason, he really wanted to give her a chestnut.
"By the way, Brother Ahai, what do you want seaweed for, is this seaweed enough?" Anna blinked her eyes wide, looking curious.
Ah Hai looked at the seaweed mountain speechlessly, nodded stiffly, and said, "Not only is it enough, there must be a superfluity." These seaweeds can be eaten, so you might as well eat some. ”
"Can you eat it? Eat it raw?"
"Hmm. ”
"Ahh
Hai: "......"
"But, Brother Hai, you haven't told me what these seaweeds are going to be used for?"
"Make wall mud. ”
Ah Hai didn't hide it, but after he said the answer, Anna was even more confused. How can this seaweed be used to make wall mud? It's incredible.
The way the wall mud is made is a bit rudimentary, because there is no pot, Ah Hai dug a pit in the ground to cook seaweed, and the way to cook seaweed is also very special, it is to use a fire to burn the stone first, and then throw it into the seaweed. In the mud pit where the seaweed was boiled, Ah Hai collected white mud from the forest, mixed some fine sand mud into it, and stirred it constantly with wooden sticks.
The churning was left to Anna, while Ahai continued to cut the twigs and fill the house's bracket with thin twigs. After the wall mud is cooked, the wall mud is used to cover the gaps of the branches, which can be both windproof and waterproof.
The two worked together, but on the first day, they only pasted a wall. But the roof has been made, albeit a little rudimentary, but it is already waterproof.
The roof is shown to be covered with branches, then a thick layer of plantain leaves, which are covered with a thick layer of weeds, and on the weeds, they are fixed horizontally with branches to prevent the weeds from being blown away by the wind...... As long as there are no accidents, it should be able to prevent rain.
Thankfully, it didn't rain that night, so Anna and Ah Hai were able to stay on the beach for another night.
The next morning, however, the sky changed.
In the early morning, the rain was not heavy, and the two continued their work of cooking the wall mud from yesterday, but the rain became heavier and heavier, and they had to move the fire into the wooden house that had not yet been built, and stopped the work of cooking the wall mud.
They had already plastered two walls, and the third wall was also half pasted, but they had to stop because the rain was getting heavier.
Anna looked worriedly at the dark sky outside, the raindrops of beans fell on the roof, and from time to time a few drops of water came down from the roof and fell on Anna's side, she muttered: "The wall mud that was finally boiled should not be usable now, it's a pity!"
Ah Hai couldn't help but sigh when he heard her sigh.
"It's a pity, it's just some mud, and it can continue tomorrow when the rain stops. As he spoke, he shoved a dried fish into Anna's mouth and said, "Eat, rest for a while, the rain should not stop today." ”
