1030.Celebration (4/5)
The house was washed away, but not completely collapsed, and the vacant foundations had to be smashed first.
The smashed walls will not be thrown away, they will continue to be used, and the workload of people will be minimized.
Godzilla helped to smash the wall, and the sledgehammer that the black man needed to grab with both hands to pick up was like a toy in his hand, and he smashed the wall with a hammer in one hand.
Li Du saw that Brother Wolf was looking around, and he was about to go over and ask what to see, when Godzilla shouted, "Hey, be careful, snake!" ”
Hearing his voice, Li Du looked over in surprise and said, "A snake smashed out of the wall?" ”
When Godzilla smashed open a section of the wall, a yellowish thing with brown spots appeared inside, about half a meter long, with a flattened body that could wriggle like a small snake.
When they saw it, several children scrambled to it.
The masturbation officer praised: "Made, what a group of warriors, snake catching exercises start from dolls?" ”
Brother Wolf smiled and said, "It's not a snake, it's a barramundi, an African barramundi." ”
Sophie was surprised: "This is a lungfish?" How could it be, it came out of the wall, oh my God, how did it come about? ”
Li Du thought of a news he had read, and said: "This kind of African lungfish seems to be amphibious, they can breathe with their lungs, their lungs are developed, and they ......are as long as their bodies."
Brother Wolf nodded and said, "Yes, lungfish are very special, they can breathe with gills when they are in the water, but they have special swim bladders and lungs in their bodies, so that even after leaving the water, they can breathe air directly." ”
Sophie was surprised: "But it was found in the wall, don't tell me, it can survive in the wall for years, this is impossible!" ”
Brother Wolf shrugged and said, "I don't know, but when the dry season comes, the pond where the barramundi lives will turn into a mud pit, so that it will dig a hole, and when it gets into it, it secretes a kind of mucus that hardens into a protective film similar to a cocoon." ”
"This mucus maintains a certain humidity and allows air to enter. At the same time, it feeds on its muscle and fat, reduces its metabolic rate to one-sixtieth of its original level, and then sleeps in summer. ”
Buick, who was working, rushed over to take a look and said with a smile: "You can stew and eat fish, but it's too small, I've seen people find big fish in the wall, one meter long." ”
Li Du has seen similar news, but then it seems that the media said it was fake news.
Now he's real, there's a fish that can be locked up in the dry dirt and survive for years!
Li Du overestimated the survival ability of the barramundi, and Buick later told him that the house was only built for a year and a half, because there was too much soil and too little sand and gravel at that time, and the house was not strong and had a relatively short lifespan.
Even so, Li Du also thinks that the African barramundi is very awesome, and it can survive without water for a year and a half, without water and no food, which is very powerful.
He looked down at the little flathead who was holding a log at his feet, and decided to rank them as the best creatures in Africa.
As the saying goes, 'Africa is chaotic, and what the honey badger says', this is not just talking, and Brother Pingtou's bull pen is self-evident.
The little flat-headed brother can walk sideways in the tribe, no one dares to touch it, even children know that it can't be messed with.
It's not that it can't be provoked, but after it is provoked, it will keep chasing and biting, and unless it is killed, it will wait to be provoked.
Because the honey badger does not have a few taels of meat and likes to eat poisonous snakes, people are worried that it has residual poison in its body, so they dare not catch it at will to eat.
It is for this reason that although the honey badger is short-tempered and touches whom, it has not been extinguished.
The house was built quickly, and after it was smashed, the planks were buried in the ground and dirt and gravel were put in.
After years of construction, there is not much sand and gravel around the Jibra tribe, and more earth can only be used to make the main body of the wall.
The result is not a strong and durable house, but it is still a house.
Listening to the melancholy discussion between Buick and some tribal blacks, Brother Wolf pointed to the plastic bottle on the ground and said, "Why don't you use this?" ”
"What?" Buick looked inexplicable.
Brother Wolf went to pick up a Coke bottle, poured muddy water into it, tightened the lid and put it into the wooden wall, and said, "This is more useful than sand, right?" ”
Stunned, he looked at the Coke bottle inside the wall, and after a few seconds, Buick slapped his thigh vigorously and exclaimed, "What a brilliant idea!" Damn, why did we never think of it?! ”
This opened up new ideas for them, the tribe communicated with the outside world frequently, and every household had plastic bottles, which were filled with muddy water and used as the main body of the wall, which was much better than mud and sand.
And, even if their tribe doesn't have enough bottles, it's cheap and lightweight, and can be bought at the scrapyard, and for their tribe, it's an inexhaustible supply.
Li Du didn't think that plastic bottles would be of such use, he praised Brother Wolf, and Brother Wolf smiled and said: "I didn't think of it out of thin air, in our course, plastic bottles filled with sediment were used for bunker training. ”
Seeing this celebratory scene, Scotty, who had been watching from the sidelines, was dissatisfied, he snorted and said disdainfully: "Clever, useless clever." ”
Charlie, a young black man, stiffened his neck and said, "Hey, why didn't you see you being so smart?" ”
Scottie proudly said, "What I need is great wisdom, not small wisdom." These tribal houses should have been eliminated a long time ago, and we can build a building like Johannesburg if we have the money! ”
Sophie shook her head and teased: "That's not good, handsome guy, the foundation of the ministry is dirt, once it rains, it will quickly soften, the load-bearing capacity is relatively poor, if you build the building, I'm afraid it doesn't need to rain, it will collapse by itself!" ”
Scotty glared and said, "Ha, you know so much, you know, right?" ”
Sophie shrugged and said, "I got a double bachelor's degree in college, including architecture, so I know a lot about it." ”
Charlie shook his head at Scotty and smiled, "Wow, so you went to college?" Scotty didn't go to school, he didn't go to school for a day. ”
Scotty yelled angrily, "Get out of the way, Charlie! ”
There was a lot of strength in numbers, and after a day of tossing, a total of eight houses were built.
The next day was the celebration in Buick's mouth, and Li Du thought that there was going to be some kind of event, but Buick led the strong men in the tribe to get ready to hunt.
The thing they hunt is not ordinary, it's a python!
After learning the news, Li Du didn't know how to express his surprise, he asked, "Your celebration is to catch a python?" And then put python stew? ”
Buick grinned and said, "No, it's not a stew, you'll know then." ”
Except for occasional predation, pythons hide in underground burrows, so it is difficult to hunt them.
The hunters of the Jibula tribe had to carefully search for the traces they left on the ground, following the trails to find the python's burrow.
