Chapter 8: Settling In
Tong Duoduo took out branches and leaves from the space and quickly made a fire. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 There seemed to be a faint light coming through the cave, and she threw a few stones into it, and there were several muffled sounds of stones falling to the ground in the cave. After waiting for a while, no animals escaped.
She grew a little bolder, and pulled a thick burning branch from the fire and walked into the hole.
The cave was deeper than she had imagined, and once she entered, it was a small space of five or six square meters and a long narrow passageway. Seeing that the light in the road became more and more obvious, she couldn't help but be a little more bold, grabbed the burning branch and continued to walk forward for more than a dozen steps.
Seeing that there are about sixty square meters in front of him, the stone cave is bright and bright, and even the ground is completely composed of stones, Tong Duoduo is very satisfied, although this cave is divided into two pieces because of one high and one low. But the stone platform, which is about a quarter of the size and only half a person high, is suitable for dividing into a bedroom.
What's even happier is that it's not the end. Continue through a hole the size of a door, and your eyes will light up completely.
It's a patio-like place. Needless to say, the light is good, the main thing is spacious. Looking up, a third of the overhead is in the open air, so it's no wonder it's so open.
Tong Duoduo looked at this place, which was two or three times larger than the cave inside, and there were still stones all around it and on the ground, but there was a lot of moss growing around the open place and on the stone walls of the ground. What's even more wonderful is that there is a fist-thick spring water flowing on a stone wall.
I don't know if the stone under the stone wall has formed a large hole because it has been penetrated by the water for many years, or if there is such a big hole in the first place, but it is filled with spring water anyway.
It's easy to use water.
Tong Duoduo's first thought was this, she went to squat down and reach out to pick up the splash, and found that the spring water was clear, and it was still hot because of the direct sunlight.
This hole is really big, and the water can reach the thighs in the past, and there is room for two or three people in it. It's a natural bath.
The thought that she would not have to go outside to take a bath in the open air in the future made her excited. So I looked more carefully at this hole, and when I looked closely, I found that it should not be beaten out by the current of water, but it seemed to be a natural formation.
The water in the cave is extremely clear, and if you look closely, you can even see that the bottom of the cave is actually connected by two stone slabs, and the spring water continues to flow directly through the gap between the two stone slabs. It's no wonder that the water here is constantly flowing, but there is no overflow.
After Tong Duoduo found out about this problem, she couldn't help but smile as brightly as a flower, laughed twice, and she exclaimed happily, "Haha, great, this is it." ”
After screaming, she laughed at herself again, hehe, it's been less than a day since she came here, and she has already begun to learn to talk to herself!
Fortunately, this is living water, and this will be her exclusive bath in the future, so you don't have to worry about it being unclean. As for drinking water, it can be picked up directly from the stone wall. What is in front of you is so ideal.
Tong Duoduo is happy. Suddenly, she remembered that she had read a novel that she had said before staying in the cave that it was best to smoke the whole cave with a fire, so that it could get rid of both dampness and mosquitoes.
She thought so.
There were still branches and leaves left in the space, so she sprang into action and turned back into the hole inside, which would be her bedroom and storage room from now on.
He took out the branches and made a fire in the middle of the low one. He made a pile in the middle of the high stone platform, and took the burning branch in his hand and set it on fire.
Seeing that the fire was burning more and more, she took out a branch, one in each hand, and carefully smoked the hole up and down two or three times, and after the hole was smoked, she ran to the outside of the "patio", and painted Hu Ru in the same way, and smoked it up and down inside and out two or three times before stopping.
When it was all done, she thought of the fire on the stone platform outside the cave, so she went out of the cave, and she walked all the way without forgetting to smoke the aisle all the way, and looked at the insects that had fallen to the ground, and she thought that she still needed to go out and find some hay and come back and tie a simple broom to clean it up.
For a while, it occurred to me that if I could find wormwood again, wouldn't it be better to smoke it in the cave a few more times? Wormwood is still relatively common and should be easy to find.
Moreover, wormwood itself is insect repellent, and it is not afraid of being bitten by mosquitoes when it is burned in the fire at night.
There is also a place to sleep, which is bound to lay hay, or if she sleeps directly on the stone, it is hard and cold, how can she eat? Even in the summer, the nights in the mountains should be cold.
There are also branches to collect in large quantities, and sleeping on a fire at night will also make her feel a little more secure.
In this way, it is time to hurry, and there is still a lot of work to be done in half a day.
Out of the stone cave, Tong Duoduo suddenly remembered that there was a hole above her head, she looked up, the hole was not big, and there shouldn't be any big animals in it, right? Now that I've decided to live here, I always have to go and see it to rest assured.
Thinking so, she replaced a longer, burning branch, climbed to it to take a look, and found that the hole was more intuitive than a cave. It's shallow for people to see at a glance, and the further you go, the narrower it becomes, not to mention living in people, and you probably have to expose half of your body to avoid the rain inside.
Fortunately, there is a hole in the stone platform below, and Tong Duoduo is very happy. The bottom can really be counted, and there is a hole in the sky.
Descending to the stone platform below, Tong Duoduo extinguished the fire, thought about it, moved the remaining branches to the entrance of the stone cave and re-lit them. Although the aisle of the stone cave is not lived, it always does not hurt to smoke it.
She looked at the entrance to the cave again, and it would be nice if there was another big rock to block the doorway. Would it be more reassuring for her to have a stone blocking the entrance to the cave? Or put a door inside the cave?
She definitely can't do this kind of thing at the moment. But why move a big rock?
She thought about this possibility carefully, she had space, what if she cleared the things in the space first? Tong Duoduo was a little eager to try, but he was a little uneasy, so he immediately moved everything out of the space and put it in the stone cave.
It's better to look for it first, and then it's not too late to do so when you see a suitable rock. She made her decision.
Once I decided where I lived, I felt a very different mood when I set off again.
Don't bother to look for wormwood first, Tong Duoduo began to pick up dry branches and hay nearby, branches are easy to pick up, and after a while, he picked up a lot. But she had no idea what kind of hay to pick up for a mat to sleep on. In the end, no matter what kind of hay she encountered, she would pick it up.
Let's spend tonight first.
