Newly cut bamboo cannot be used to build a bamboo building immediately, because there is still a lot of water in the bamboo, and as the water volatilizes, some bamboos will be slightly deformed, or even shrivel and break. Therefore, the bamboo should be dried for a period of time, and after they are set, they can be used for construction.

The bamboo building cannot be built immediately, but a lot of preparation work still needs to be done, such as weaving bamboo rafts and cutting some of the bamboo in advance for later use. In addition, the planting area of cultivated land should be expanded to 20 acres, and the ploughing cattle that could be used in the village were pulled to Xiaolu Mountain to plow and turn over the soil.

In this planting plan, Yunli expanded the planting area of potatoes to 15 acres, and expanded the cultivation of 10 acres on the basis of the previous batch.

Purple heart potatoes have a unique color and high nutritional value, and the price is naturally much higher than that of ordinary potatoes, but its planting conditions are very harsh and the yield is very low, and few individual farmers are willing to plant a large area. Generally speaking, most of them are self-grown, and even fewer have entered the market.

The other five acres of land are experimental fields, which will be planted with a variety of common vegetable and fruit seedlings, including tomatoes, vegetables and fruits, purple eggplant, green beans, okra and various seasonal vegetables. On the southernmost ridge of the cultivated land, two rows of papayas are planted to make the best use of the land.

Yunli had to experiment with guò planting to select the crops with the highest economic benefits, and then plant them on a large scale to accumulate funds for the construction of the estate.

Yunli had already booked these fruit and vegetable seedlings and seeds, and when the land was turned over, he would notify the supplier to transport the seedlings and ask the farmers in the village to help plant them.

Recently, there are villagers who come to help with the work every day, so that Xiaolushan is changing little by little, and it is not the season for farming, so the villagers are very willing to come to Xiaolushan to do odd jobs.

The long blue cloth on the roof of the small building has been hanging recently, but Lu Ci doesn't come every day, she works odd jobs at a wholesale popsicle shop in the town, and has a fixed number of days a week to work, especially at this time, when the demand for popsicles is at its highest.

If she couldn't come the next day, Lu Ci would come to Xiaolushan in advance to say hello to Yunli, after all, she didn't even have a mobile phone, so she could only contact Guò in this way. However, because of this reason, the two gradually got in touch more, and they got to know each other better, plus they were about the same age, the strangeness faded, and they slowly became friends who could make friends.

Yun Li observed carefully, and did not find anything unusual about Lu Ci, it seems that the mysterious energy under the cliff has a short-term impact on people, which can be regarded as good news.

Lu Ci also described the situation of falling off the cliff to Yun Li in detail, but she only remembered that after falling, she immediately became weak and weak, and it gradually became difficult to breathe, and she opened her mouth to shout but couldn't make any sound, and instinctively walked a short distance on the cliff, and spent all her strength.

She thought it was caused by a lack of oxygen, and the other villagers agreed with this statement, they could only believe this explanation, but Yunli knew the reason very well, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only put this matter down first.

From the mouths of other farmers, Yunli also knew about Xu Rui and Xu Bo's situation. Xu Bo only sprained his foot, and it was fine. Xu Rui suffered a comminuted fracture of the lower leg bone and had been sent to the hospital in the city for treatment. According to the attending doctor, if it is delayed for another hour and a half, the nerve at the wound is likely to die, in which case the limb can only be amputated.

Fortunately, the worst situation did not occur, and Yun Li's efforts also paid off, after this incident, Yun Li's reputation among the villagers increased rapidly, and everyone praised him for his bold judgment in danger, and he did have the demeanor of being a teacher.

At the same time, the attitude of the villagers towards Lu Ci is also slowly changing, in that case, can not disregard their own safety, risk their lives to help others, no matter what the result is, this spirit is worthy of everyone's recognition and respect.

Entering August, it is the hottest time of the year in the southwest region, students can have summer vacation, workers, white-collar workers can enjoy high temperature subsidies, and even have extra holidays. Farmers, as long as there are crops in the field, their hands cannot be idle, and this time is also the season of frequent extreme weather, for them, in addition to sweating more, they also have to worry about this changeable weather.

Fortunately, except for a few occasional heavy rains recently, the rest of the time has been very sunny, and the 20 acres of cultivated land in the south of Xiaolu Mountain have been planted with corresponding crops according to Yunli's plan. And those cut bamboos, after these days of drying, can already be used to build bamboo buildings.

The farmers in Shanglu Village are unable to work in the fields, hunt in the mountains, and even build buildings. Through Xu Ping's recommendation, the villagers with the best craftsmanship in the village were recruited to help, and there was Brother Chen to help design and supervise the work, according to Xu Ping's words, Yunli This bamboo building is definitely the best one in the entire Deer Town after completion, and there is no one.

Here, building a bamboo building is a big deal, the average person wants to build a bamboo building at home, the first thing is to choose an auspicious day, pay attention to the point even the day of cutting bamboo. Before the start of construction, it is necessary to worship the mountain god with five grains of tea and wine, and set off firecrackers to scare away the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods before the construction can begin.

Yunli didn't believe in ghosts and gods, and he didn't have the time to do these rituals, but he still bought a small piece of firecrackers and set them off before the bamboo building started. The people here are still very in awe of the ghosts and gods, and these small ceremonies can play a positive role in them, eliminate unnecessary doubts, and also help the construction of the bamboo building.

Yunli has three floors from this bamboo building, the ground floor is hollowed, and there are two small single rooms for storage separated by bamboo fences, and a small kitchen will be built next to each other on the southwest side of the ground floor, and there is a three-section staircase on the east side.

The second floor is a square structure, with three bedrooms and one living room, two balconies and a bathroom with one bathroom. The hall and the large balcony are on the south side, just in the direction of Dalu Mountain, and the small balcony and bathroom are arranged on the west side, which is intended to block the west slanting sun in the afternoon, and in the hot season, the hall and room can be cooler.

The three rooms are set up around a small hall, different from the brick house, the shape of the room in the bamboo building can only be divided according to the structure of the entire bamboo building, there is not much room for adjustment, after Yunli and Brother Chen discussed, and finally designed three rooms of different shapes and sizes, each with its own characteristics, you can choose.

The layout of the third floor is roughly the same as that of the second floor, but due to material constraints, the space on the third floor is smaller. On the west side, there is still a small balcony and bathroom, the small hall is in the center, the room is reduced to two, and the large balcony has also been changed into a corridor passage more than one meter wide, connected to the staircase.

As long as the wall of the bamboo building is marked according to the drawings, the bamboo is inserted along the base, and then the bamboo can be firmly tied with aluminum sheets and flat rubber strips, and the obvious gaps can not be left between the bamboos.

The most critical place to build a bamboo building is the laying of the second and third floors. Since it is a bamboo building, of course, the floor is paved with bamboo, the bamboo building that lives in people, the place with the most daily load-bearing, is the floor, the floor is laid well, it will directly affect the service life of the entire bamboo building, as well as the comfort of living.

The bamboos used for laying the flooring are carefully selected, and experienced farmers will also arrange the positions where they should go according to the subtle shape differences of each bamboo, and try to balance the force on each position, so that the whole can achieve a perfect fit.

Yunli once read in the book that some bamboo buildings can survive hundreds of years, withstand the test of floods and earthquakes, and are still used by people today, which is not a small miracle. Yunli doesn't expect his bamboo building to survive for a hundred years, but within the scope of his ability, he has to try his best to do the best in every link.

Indoor partition with bamboo is also very particular, this part of the bamboo mostly needs to open and cut the joint, to choose the kind of bamboo age and thick flesh, very material and effort, after the interval is fixed, will also be nailed on the individual wall according to the need to install thin planks, can take into account the sound insulation, moisture-proof and beautiful.

Finally, the construction of the roof, like other bamboo buildings in the village, is a square cone structure, which looks like a hat for the bamboo building. This structure is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also highly drainable, and is often used in areas where rainfall is frequent.

After the roof is built, it is necessary to lay waterproof materials on it, Yunli was originally to be paved with glazed tiles, which is both atmospheric and beautiful, but under the strong recommendation of Brother Chen, it is still used a dark red pine veneer. This kind of pine veneer is very common here, mostly used to cover things, shade and rain, the price is not expensive, but a little ugly, slightly separated by two floors, the entire roof part is built.

In the days to come, Yun Li was glad that he did not insist on his own opinions, and used the pine veneer recommended by Brother Chen to pave the roof. The benefits of this pine bark are not only waterproof, breathable and heat dissipation in summer, warm in winter, due to the characteristics of pine bark, it will exude a faint smell, which has a unique effect on mosquito repellent and insect repellent.

After the whole frame is erected, the next work is to repair and decorate, and the doors, windows, railings and some corner decorations inside the bamboo building are all done by Brother Chen himself. Outside the bamboo building, the previously woven bamboo rafts can come in handy, and the kitchen and staircase will also be built.

For Yunli, in the construction process of the entire bamboo building, he couldn't help except for doing some moving and lifting work. However, he was not idle, he collected all the bamboo that had been cut and discarded, cut the bamboo into long strips with a machete, and connected the long bamboo strips in a small circle according to the method of the peasant women weaving bamboo rows, and made a low fence, and inserted the cloth around the bamboo building, forming a large circle to surround the bamboo building.

It took more than a week, with the cooperation of Brother Chen and more than a dozen farmers, Yunli's bamboo building was finally completed, and through Guò Xu Ping's matchmaking, the bamboo building was connected to electricity, and the water pipes were replaced with new ones.
