Chapter 180: Smashing the Big Rammer
"It's dawn, get up—" The car boss's voice echoed over the station.
"Zhou Papi. The fat man muttered as he got dressed and climbed out of the rack. The sun had barely shown half of its face in the east, and in the distance was a thick fog that lingered like ribbons on the waterside of the forest.
Autumn is a foggy season, especially in the depressions, where water vapor is condensed, so the fog is the most abundant, but in the hills, the fog does not go up.
Stretching his waist, the fat man looked at the horse frame where the savages lived, and immediately saw a bent figure. He was wearing the clothes and pants of the car boss, Li Changjiang's rubber shoes were on his feet, and his long hair was tied back to his head, but his face was still a messy beard, covering most of his face.
Even so, whoever sees him will no longer think of him as a savage.
Huotou Jun has already started to make rice, in the morning is to make some soup, and then paste a big cake on the side of the pot, because the pot is large, so it can be pasted several layers, and on top, it is also steamed with a curtain for a while. Even the soup and rice, a pot came out.
"I have to find a way to adjust the food for everyone, I have to do heavy work every day, and the logistics support has to keep up. The fat man pondered while washing his face.
Just as he was wiping his face, he saw the car boss leading a few people back, all carrying noodle bags in their hands, and there was a flutter in them.
"When did you catch the fish?" the fat man asked in surprise, "How can you make up for this good thing?" "Fishing and shrimp is one of the preferences of fat people.
"It was the boss who put down the flower basket (a kind of fishing equipment) and the lazy hook last night, and we just followed to pick the fish. The second boy of Wang Sanpao's family said with a smile.
"It just so happens that I'm still worried about improving the food for everyone. The fat man said unashamedly.
"Open the rice—" shouted and everyone gathered in front of the rice pot. The fat man made a bowl of eggplant strips and stewed potato soup, took a large cake, and brought it to the wild man.
The wild man didn't speak, just nodded to the fat man, and then picked up the big cake and nibbled on it, snorting and eating it. The fat man looked at him carefully.
I don't know if it's because of old age or because he can't eat salt in the mountains, so I can't tell his age, it may be between thirty and fifty, and the span is really not small.
The bridge of the nose is straight, although the face is thin, but the bone frame is still there, it should be a national face, it is conceivable, he must have been a relatively handsome person at the beginning.
Now, he has begun to use chopsticks, although he is still a little rusty, but he can barely pick up the eggplant strips in the bowl. There is a layer of fine oil beads floating in the bowl, and the eggplant is boiled in meat oil, which is quite fragrant.
And the savage eats more deliciously, and watching him eat will definitely make you eat a few more bites. The fat man just patted him on the shoulder, resisted his curiosity, and didn't ask him anything.
They still need a process of understanding each other, and the wild man has just returned, and his heart is still full of guard, and this is not suitable for him to talk. The fat man thought that the best way was for him to tell what had happened.
It's just that I don't know if the wild man can't speak, or if he doesn't want to speak, from last night to now, I haven't heard him say a word, just use an ah-ah voice to express it.
After eating, Huotou Jun and a few old men washed the dishes, and the others started work. Some people continued to dig the foundation, and some people began to build the foundation of the goose shed.
The foundation was made of stone, and although there were no professional stonemasons, many people had done this work before, holding hammers and chisels in their hands, chiseling off the edges and corners that were too obvious.
Between the cracks of the stones, thin sand is used to water the gaps tightly, and at the same time, the stones can be connected together. This job requires both physical strength and a little skill, so the fat man can't come, so he and a bunch of young men come to sand the house.
The foundations of the three rooms were dug yesterday, and the outside is boxy, and there are several ditches inside, all of which are load-bearing walls, and these places need to be covered with half a meter of sand and then tamped.
The fat man was the first time to see manual ramming, in his time, the construction of houses was basically mechanized, reinforced concrete pouring, so after seeing the young men fill the pit with sand, he was fortunate to experience the ancient method of ramming.
The so-called "ramming" is a big stone, boxy. The fat man bent down and hugged it, to say the least, two hundred pounds.
A circle of grooves was carved out around the stone, and four mountain elm wooden poles were tied to the groove, all of which were thicker than the fat man's arms, and when they were smashed, the four stick boys lifted the big stone high on one side, and then with a bang, it fell heavily, relying on the inertia of the stone, and compacted the sand below.
"I used to talk about laying a solid foundation, but now I understand what's going on!" the fat man gained insight again.
The car boss stood next to him and shouted, and the four people who smashed the rammer must work together to make it together, so that the stone can land steadily, otherwise there will be a first, it will not be able to play the maximum effect, and it is easy to hurt people.
"The autumn wind is blowing and it's cool—" The car boss's voice was strong and imposing.
Everyone replied together: "Hey, hey, hey—" and then the big rock was lifted high and fell down so hard that it shook the earth.
The car boss sang again: "Let's build a house and smash it—"
"Hey, hey—" smash it again.
"What are you going to ask for building a house—marrying a daughter-in-law and going into a cave house—"
plopped, and this smashed the hardest.
The fat man next to him looks at hehe Zhile, this is fun, work and entertainment are not delayed. Then I only listened to the car boss sing sentence by sentence, at hand, there were all the words, the folk song was in a minor key, that is, the scene was full of love, all of this, there was no repetition. He sang vigorously, and everyone smashed it vigorously.
"I'll try it too. The fat man couldn't help but itch, and when he saw a young man's head sweating, he took him down and smashed him. At the beginning, the fat man's rhythm was not good, and his strength was greater than others, and he was instructed twice by the car boss, and then he came to the fight.
He also pulled up the broken gong and took the lead in singing the trumpet, not to mention, it was a very ugly sound, but it was quite imposing when he was working: "The sun comes out to shine brightly-"
Everyone also continued to cheer: "Hey, hey, whoa-"
"It's warm on us. ...... "Hey, hey—"
"Brothers, work harder—"
Singing and singing, the fat man had no words, so he had to shout at the top of his voice: "Hey, hey, hey—"
The rhythm of the group was suddenly chaotic, and the car boss immediately glared at him: "If you don't have that ability, don't mix it up." ”
After smashing for half an hour, everyone was sweating all over, sitting on the edge of the ditch to rest and smoke. The car boss lit a pot of cigarette pouches, took two sips and said: "This is called lifting tamper, simple and affordable, no technology, the previous rope tamper, that is called a unique job." ”
The fat man was really interested by him and hurriedly asked. The car boss continued: "It is to tie up the rammer with a rope, stand in a circle of people by the ditch, each person has a rope, tighten the rope, and force the rammer up to a height of one or two zhang, then it will be smashed." ”
Thinking about such a big stone, it can collapse up two feet high, and the fat man also thinks it is quite mysterious, although he wants to try, but there are not so many ropes, so he has to give up.
The owner of the car saw that they had smashed it decently, so he drove the carriage to pull the adobe, and the fat man led a group of people to "hey hey" for a morning, which was regarded as tamping the sand and finishing the work in victory.
The fat man also felt that his arms were a little swollen, and took advantage of the free time before the meal to beckon everyone to take a bath. Seeing the wild man squatting under the horse frame with his arms in the sun, the fat man also pulled him along. The owner had already designated the location of the hot spring, and when he got closer, he put his hand into the water and slowly found the right temperature.
Near the spring, the spring water is hot, so choose the place where the downstream meets other waters, neither cold nor hot, just the same.
Dozens of stick guys stripped naked, jumped into the water, and soaked in the warm spring water, all shouting for comfort.
The autumn sun is shining overhead, and the noon period is the time when the autumn tiger is powerful, and the temperature does not have to be bad in summer.
Growing up near the water since childhood, these guys are good at water, especially good at dog planing, in addition, there are a few fierce people who are also good at it, and a fierce man can come up from more than ten meters away.
Wang Erbiao, the second son of Wang Sanpao's family, is the most powerful, he can tread water, raise his arms, and in the water is like a walkway, the river only overflows his waist and eyes, and he can move quickly in the water when he stands.
The fat man is envious, you must know that the river is also quite deep, more than one zhang must have, look at the technology of others, it is estimated that you can run back and forth in the water.
After soaking for a long time, the fat man found that the wild man was squatting on the shore and had not yet entered the water. So he swam to the shore and beckoned, "Come down and wash well, I guess I haven't bathed for several years, right?"
The wild man reluctantly took off his clothes, and the fat man guessed that the reason why he didn't go into the water would not be that he was reluctant to take off his clothes, right?
After he soaked in the water for a while, the fat man handed him half a piece of bright soap, which was alkaline and muddy. The wild man stood at the water's edge, clattering and rubbing soap, and there was no foam in the dry rubbing. The fat man leaned over to take a look, only to see that his body was old, and with resin or something, he couldn't rub it off at all.
"If only there was a bath towel. The fat man pondered in his heart, and suddenly remembered that the volcanic stone that Li Liuye rubbed his feet on, that is, the kind that can float on water, was originally used to rub his heels, and it was estimated that it was suitable for savages.
So he shouted a few times, Li Liuye came over with a stone, threw it to the fat man far away, snapped, the stone didn't reach the water first, and then floated up again.
The fat man picked up the polished volcanic stone, rubbed soap on it, and rubbed it vigorously on the wild man. This time it really worked, the volcanic stone was densely covered with a layer of hemp cracks, clicking, even the soap foam and oil sludge were wrapped together, but it was a little painful, rubbing the wild man's teeth and grinning.
The others had already gone ashore to eat, and the fat man helped him rub it for more than half a point, and then he gradually revealed his true colors. I didn't expect the wild man to be relatively white, probably because of the outer layer of skin, so the reason why he couldn't get sunlight.
The fat man led the wild man back to the station, and found another pair of scissors, and clicked and clicked, cut off all the wild man's beard, and then cut his hair, but he could not give in, and the fat man had no choice but to give up.
After close contact with the fat man, the wild man was not very afraid of life, and sat next to the fat man with his rice bowl. Everyone looked at him and had a feeling of brightness.
The skin on his face returned to its original color, and the grass-like beard was removed, revealing a little elegant. Seeing that he has long hair, now he wants to pull him back to the era of the fat man, saying that he is an artist, and the quasi-security will believe it.
It's just that they are probably hungry and afraid, and the wild man still gobbles up when he eats. The fat man finally understood why this guy agreed to shave: his mouth is bare, and eating is not in the way.
