Chapter 11 Building a New Shelter

Ansu walked around the clearing, and during this time he saw some brightly feathered birds gathered by the pond to drink, and after taking a sip, he looked around vigilantly.

The little beast's black bean-like eyes rolled, then spread its claws and chased left and right a few times, and finally contentedly stretched out its front paws and lay on the edge of the pool, licking the water with its pink tongue. The strange snake was removed by Ansu, and such a good place became a borderless land again, and some of the nearby animals boldly ran to drink water. But it will soon have a new owner.

Ansu decided to build a shelter under a boulder with a slightly sunken bottom, and the open space was low in the east and high in the west. Considering that the reservoir may flood during heavy rain, Ansu chose a higher place and farther away. It was impossible to set up a strong camp in one day, so Ansu just cleared out the stones that had circled out the place where the camp was to be built, and piled them up into a semi-arc stone wall. The relatively flat mud and gravel floor below is reserved for camping. Ansu still planned to build a single-sloped shed, one end close to the boulder, which looked like a huge right-angled triangle from the side.

To build the frame, Ansu decided to use wood with a diameter of at least 10 centimeters, but the trees here are generally so tall that one person may not be able to hug them, and it is really difficult to find a seedling-level tree. The trunk of the blue-leaved tree is relatively small, and it is a cork, which cannot support the weight of the shed after being folded. Ansu had no choice but to set her eyes on the branches of the trees, which were never thicker than the trunks. However, in order to cut down the branches, you have to go up the tree, so Ansu had to choose some relatively low trees, climb the branches with both hands, pull up, hook the branches with her uninjured legs, and slowly move to the trees.

Leaning his back against the rough trunk of the tree, Ansu turned his lower shoulders to relax, then held the saber in his left hand and embedded it diagonally in the bark, and in his right hand held a picked up wooden stick, and smashed it down one by one. The leaves rattled, and the leaves and sawdust fell in unison and fell on the head of a brown frog hidden among the dead leaves. It blinked, shook its body, kicked its hind legs, struggled out of the pile of leaves, and the white snorkel puffed up, and before it could complain about who disturbed its dreams, a large branch fell from the air, and the leaves were shaken and flew up. The tremor was like an earthquake for the brown frog, which was so frightened that it swooped into the thick grass.

Ansu dragged four branches back to the clearing, three of hardwood and one of which looked like a bamboo-like plant. It is golden all over its body, and it is not tall, about a meter, but it is round and resembles a bucket. The whole tree resembles three buckets with a diameter of 20 centimeters, shining golden in the sun. Its leaves are cane leaves like palm leaves, consisting of long, narrow leaves that densely gather in a circle at the top. Ansu was attracted by a little yellow in this green bush, cut down the yellow bamboo, and found that it was hollow inside. An Su was happy in his heart, and in this way, the problem about the water container was solved. The golden bamboo is divided into three sections, and Ansu cuts it into three bamboo tubes.

After going to the woods and cutting some vines, Ansu began to build the framework of the shed. Cutting off all the other branches and leaves, three supporting poles appeared, and Ansu cut them into several pieces. Ansu now dug four deep pits in the mud and stone ground, put two support poles more than two meters long and stuck them against the rock wall into the pits, and then tied the support rods. The support rod is shorter than the support rod, and its height is the height of the beams that will be placed, and finally it is filled with mud and a circle of stones is piled up outside. The width between the two poles is about two meters, so she can sleep and put something in the future.

Step on the stone and place the beam on the support rod and tie it tightly with the support rod with vines. Ansu wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked at the dark sky, and knew that she could only work here today, so she piled the remaining wood under the boulder, scooped fresh water with a section of yellow bamboo, and hurried back to the camp by the sea.

There were unforeseen storms and clouds in the sky, and this night there was a sudden strong wind, huge waves, and purple lightning rushed through the clouds. Ansu had already woken up, and she immediately put all the snake meat hanging from the branches into a snakeskin bag and put it under the shed. The wind was howling, and Ansu felt the shed vibrating as if it was about to disperse in the next moment. The tongue of fire was blown to the side, and several times it was almost swept away by the wind. In the flickering firelight, An Su's face was condensed.

The light around was gone, everything in heaven and earth fell into darkness, and the brilliant colors of the past day and night never seemed to appear, only the fire in front of Ansu was still struggling to emit a faint light. Fortunately, there was still a little bit of light, which allowed Ansu to observe the situation around her as much as possible. The waves swelled in the direction of the sea, crashing against the reef like the sky and the earth cracked. The blue-leaved tree was blown so that it could barely stand, and the leaves rattled and rattled, and I don't know how to be swept away by the wind.

The feeling of bad feeling in her heart became stronger and stronger, Ansu poured out the fresh water in the bamboo tube, picked up the unburned charcoal with a branch and put it in the bamboo tube, took off her jacket and wrapped it in her trousers. It's not easy to drill wood for fire on a sunny day, especially on a wet and rainy day? Moreover, fire can dispel darkness and cold, bring light and hope, and everything is easy to do with fire.

The shed had been blown apart when Ansu was holding charcoal, and even the bag of barbecue was almost blown away, Ansu tied the snakeskin bag tightly to his waist, trying to find a place to temporarily hide from the storm, but vision in the dark was a problem, how to find it? The blue-leaved forest is not allowed to enter, and Ansu doesn't want to be chopped inside and out.

The flames struggled a few times, but finally they couldn't resist the strong wind and were taken away, and Ansu was completely plunged into darkness. At the same time, torrential rain fell.

The icy raindrops hit the skin with a palpable pain, and it was simply not like rain, but hail. At first it was just a few points, and then it turned into a downpour. Surrounded by cold and darkness, Ansu slowly squatted down with the only warmth in her arms. The rain washed down, and everything in front of me could not be seen clearly, only the cold and darkness were so clear that little by little they eroded people's reason. In the face of the forces of nature, man is so small.

The groundbreaking purple thunder fell from the nine heavens, one after another, literally tearing the sky apart. The sound of thunder mixed with the sound of the waves, pounding the eardrum in bursts, making people want to vomit with nausea. When the cold sensation crept up to her calves, Ansu knew that the sea was coming.
