Chapter 6: Build a stove and build a shack

When he returned to Chengjia Village, Cheng Jianguo immediately went to work in the field, and also instructed Cheng Lin to go to his house for dinner at noon, and not to be busy alone. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As for Cheng Lin, after returning to the empty home, he felt very uncomfortable.

Since Heaven has given him a chance to be reborn, why not let him be reborn a little further time?

Then he can save everything!

But life is so helpless, you can neither control tomorrow, nor save yesterday.

Fortunately, Cheng Lin and his two lives add up to more than forty people, and he knows how to control his emotions.

So after wandering around at home for a while, I decided to go fishing and go to Qingshan Lake to catch big fish.

It can not only relieve boredom, but also make money, killing two birds with one stone!

After deciding to go fishing in Qingshan Lake, I will not do it again and again, and then fish there for a few days, after all, it will take several hours to go back and forth, and it may take more than half a day to get it wrong.

Some people may think that spending the night in the deserted suburbs at night will feel scared, but Cheng Lin will not, he has long been used to it.

In the past, in summer, due to the high demand for water in the rice fields, many fields in Chengjia Village were halfway up the mountainside, and the only source of water was mountain spring water.

But the mountain spring water is not big, and if you go up to the house and stop the next house, there will be no water.

It is also impossible to open the gap in the field from top to bottom, so that the water in the upper house will automatically flow to the lower house, do you think that the fertilizer does not need money to buy?

As a result, many people will wait overnight in the fields, and when the water in a certain field is almost empty, they will help that family cut off the water and bring it to their own fields.

Cheng Lin's family is a family of three, and his parents have to be busy with farm work during the day, and if they go to vigil at night, the living body will really be unbearable. So Cheng Lin is the only person to do this, and there is not much time like this, that is, Cheng Lin will only go to vigil when he goes home on the weekend.

People are like this, they are full of fear of the unknown, but when they have the first time, they will not be in awe.

Cheng Lin was also scared for the first vigil, and his father was also worried about him, so the first time the two of them kept watch together, but the second time it was Cheng Lin alone.

After the experience of keeping vigil in the field, Cheng Lin didn't feel any fear of the night.

After all, people who read books are still not as in awe of the older generation for things like ghosts and gods.

So Cheng Lin plans to go to Qingshan Lake to make a shed, bring pots and pans, stay there for a few days, and come back after catching more fish.

At this time, tents were not yet popular, and the countrymen built their own sheds for the night on the mountain, and Cheng Lin also did it himself when he was guarding the field, so it was not a big problem.

The only tool used to build a shed is a knife, preferably a wood knife. A firewood knife is enough, and the rest of the materials are available on the mountain.

After thinking about everything, Cheng Lin brought fishing tools, and then brought an iron pot, a steel basin, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and other foods to eat. For the fish, Cheng Lin brought dozens of catties of soybeans and corn, as well as some rapeseed cakes and flour.

And, of course, the essential things for anglers to wild fish – mosquito coils and flashlights!

I got a flat pole and tied it, and a simple outfit was done.

When he went out, Cheng Lin was afraid that Cheng Jianguo would not find him, so he wrote the reason on paper and pasted it on the side of the door.

Cheng Lin felt that after taking care of everything, he picked up the burden and set off for Qingshan Lake.

Walking forward quickly, Cheng Lin planned to arrive before ten o'clock, otherwise the summer sun would probably dry him out!

Even if you don't dry out of the sun, heat stroke is even more dangerous. When traveling in the mountains, the most feared thing is heat stroke, and once you have heat stroke, everything will be over. Although there are occasional fellows on motorcycles, there are not many of them.

Fortunately, Cheng Lin was relatively fast on the road, and the burden was not heavy, so he finally found a relatively flat place by the Qingshan Lake River at ten o'clock when the sun was blazing.

On the way here, he passed by the opposite shore where he fished for soft-shelled turtles yesterday, and he stopped for a while, and after looking at it for a while, he didn't find that there were still soft-shelled turtles there.

It felt like there were fish in it, but it wasn't strong, so I didn't linger long.

Cheng Lin, who went to the ground, was hungry now, and immediately started to build the stove after putting everything under the big tree next to him.

Even the temporary stove is very particular, otherwise it will either cook rice or smoke the eyes after it is done.

First of all, find a flat piece of land and dig a small rectangular pit in the ground. It doesn't need to be too wide, it's almost two-thirds the size of your iron pot or something. If it's too wide, your pot won't hold, and if it's too narrow, it will take time to cook.

Then find some yellow mud, mix it with water and dilute it, and then add some broken grass and small stone particles to it. The grass should not be too broken, preferably in small strips; There are not too many stones, just a dozen or twenty.

Grass slivers and stones are strengthened by strength, which is also summed up by Cheng Lin after collapsing the stove and learning buildings before. Grass strips are equivalent to steel bars, stones are equivalent to aggregates, and yellow mud is cement.

And then it's time to build the stove.

First of all, the two sides can be about 30 centimeters, and the width is of course wider. Then put the iron pot on top and seal the surrounding circle tightly, but leave it alone in the back and front.

After the sides and the top are processed, it is time to deal with the front and back.

If there is a fire burning in front, there is no need to move it anymore. When there is a vent in the back, it doesn't need to be as big as the front, so you can build a dozen centimeters in the back.

In this way, a simple stove will be fine.

After getting it done, Cheng Lin didn't rush to add something to the pot and start cooking, but lit the fire first and burned it in the stove for a while.

This is to burn the yellow mud just now, otherwise put something in the pot when the yellow mud is still thin, and the stove will definitely be a tower.

After everything was ready, Cheng Lin immediately cooked himself a bowl of noodles. This meal Cheng Lin ate very fragrant, and for the first time in his life, he felt that his skills could be compared with that of a chef.

It was already noon after eating, and the weather was hot, so Cheng Lin leaned under the big tree to take a nap.

Qingshan Lake is rippling with blue waves, and the vegetation along the coast is dense with lofty mountains and mountains. From time to time, a bird skimmes the water, picks up some unknown small fish and flies away. Not far from Cheng Lin, there were several wild ducks playing on the water, treating him as nothing.

Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him and smelling the fragrance brought by the breeze, Cheng Lin fell asleep in a daze.

Waking up early in the morning, and then rushing for several hours on the mountain road, it was indeed tiring for his slightly malnourished body.

Squinted, and when he opened it again, it was probably past three o'clock, Cheng Lin didn't have a watch or mobile phone, and he didn't know the specific time, just looked at the sun and estimated it.

"I'll have to buy a phone next time I go to town!" Cheng Lin sighed that not having a mobile phone made him very unaccustomed to it, and he subconsciously touched his pocket as soon as he woke up.

But after thinking about it, he might often be in the wild in the future, so he said to himself in his heart: "Well, I have to buy a watch!" But this is not in a hurry, it should be at home recently, and the watch will be talked about later! ”

Because he had taken too long a nap at noon, his head was a little confused, and he leaned on the trunk of the tree for a while before Cheng Lin got up and got busy.

There is no hurry to build a shack, the priority is to cook some nest materials, and then make a nest so that you can fish at night.

Why nesting?

When Cheng Lin arrived at this place, he glanced around a few times and found that there were no fish on the shore at all. Only when you go farther away from the lake can you feel it, so Cheng Lin plans to make a nest of fish.

In this way, you can fish more comfortably and not run after the fish.

I went to the stove and put some water in the pot, took out some soybeans and corn and poured them in, and finally lit the fire and left it alone.

After packing up the nest materials, Cheng Lin plans to build a shack.

The shack can not be set up under the big tree, the summer thunderstorm is coming, although the geographical location here is relatively low, but in case which thunder likes to come here, then there is a play.

So Cheng Lin chose a position more than a dozen steps away from the big tree, this position is flat, there are no weeds and stones around, and it is four or five meters away from the river bank, which is simply an excellent location.

Choosing a good location is to consider the material.

The shack can be three-column or four-column (or more), and Cheng Lin plans to use four columns, so that the space inside is larger and the people are more comfortable.

So he took a firewood knife and cut four wrist-thick pieces of firewood around, cut a length of about 1.8 meters, and then smashed it into the sand.

Get the columns right, and then it's time for the roof.

However, when he got these easts, the corn and soybeans in the pot were cooked, and Cheng Lin smelled the fragrance. So I stopped what I was doing, filtered the soybeans and corn in cold water (it's okay not to filter it, here I am afraid of the heat and sprinkle it into the water will drive the fish away, and it is okay to cool it naturally) and then sprinkle most of these into the lake.

After looking at the position with satisfaction, he made a sign on the shore with a small tree trunk, so as to save the time when he forgot where to scatter.

After making a nest, you must continue to make a shack, and you must make it before the night, otherwise you will probably have to sleep in the open today.

A number of thumb-thick trunks were selected, and four pillars were selected to connect the columns, which was called a beam. The rest are tied firmly at one end with some rope made of plant skin called "hemp skin" in the local language, which is a simple purlin.

Then the thing was split out on the vertical beams, and each one was tied to the beams, and the simple frame was completed.

After Cheng Lin finished the frame, he went to find some palm leaves, which are slender and make a good roofing material.

A thick layer was laid on the roof, and in order to avoid being scraped away, Cheng Lin spent a lot of effort pressing it on the purlin with hemp skin.

Finally, it's the sides and the doors!

Cheng Lin's approach on the side is similar to that of the roof, first tying some small tree trunks horizontally and vertically, and then tying them with some palm leaves.

But for Men Chenglin, it's simple, just get some tree trunks tied up a little, and lean on it. After all, it's temporary, and people are nearby, so there's no need to do anything. But Cheng Lin was afraid of wild boars or something at night, so he made a little more interesting.

With that done, a simple shed is almost complete.

Out of consideration for the strong wind at night, Cheng Lin added a lot of support rods around it to firmly fix the entire shed on the ground.

After finishing everything, it was almost dark, and Cheng Lin raised a fire on the side.

Although he had brought a flashlight and several batteries, he wanted to stay here for a few more days and save some electricity if he could.

Speaking of his flashlight, many people may not use it now.

Iron-clad, with a large No. 1 battery.

It was one of the three major items his parents had when they got married, a flashlight, a sewing machine, and a television.

Originally, the three major pieces were supposed to be watches, sewing machines and televisions, but his grandfather was also very bitter when he was in charge, and he had no money to buy watches after barely buying two more practical things, so he finally bought a flashlight and made up a big three.

At that time, things were a little more expensive, but things were real, take the flashlight in Cheng Lin's hand as an example. I've been using it for 16 years, and I've only changed the bulb a few times, but it's still very good.

Raise the fire, light the mosquito coils, and Cheng Lin cooks.

It has been several hours since the nest material was beaten, and Cheng Lin found that there were already fish in that position, so he planned to start the rod immediately after cooking the bowl of noodles and eating.

Anglers have such a habit, every time they go to the water's edge, they want to take out a fishing rod to fish, Cheng Lin has endured it all afternoon, and he can't help it a little for a long time.
