This mud is not any mud, it must be sticky, and the soil quality should be delicate. Li Yang poured all the excavated mud on the embankment, spread a film underneath, poured some water into the mud, and then wrapped the mud in an oilcloth. "Dad, what are you doing?" Wang Ziqi had been squatting beside Li Yang and watching him do these things, and couldn't help but ask. Li Yang pointed to the stove and said with a smile: "Dad does that." Li Yang has always been not very satisfied with this stove, the tripod is too high, the capacity in the middle is too small, and sometimes it is easy to cover the fire by changing the coals. Li Yang found a wooden stick to carry the stone and began to beat the mud. "I'm coming too", Wang Ziqi seemed to think it was funny, shouting to come, Li Yang handed her the wooden stick. "Oops", Wang Ziqi hugged the wooden stick vigorously, as if he wanted to lift it up, and his smiling face was flushed. It's a pity that the person is too small to move at all while holding the wooden stick, and finally Li Yang smiled and took it over and continued to beat it. After beating it repeatedly for more than ten minutes, the mud is completely beaten very delicately, grab a piece and pinch it, and there will be no hard place. Then Li Yang found a piece of iron sheet and cut it into 40 centimeters wide and one meter long. Then the sheet was rolled up so that it became a circle about 30 centimeters in diameter, and this side was the outer part of the upper body of the stove. Tie it with wire, then go to the house, find the worker who is welding with electricity, and help to weld it tightly after a few clicks. The next most difficult part was the base of the furnace, including the iron door and the three legs that were responsible for the air intake underneath, which required a certain size of steel bar to be welded. After lunch at noon, Lin Xue and her mother cleaned up in the kitchen, Liu Jiahui accompanied Wang Ziqi to take a nap, and Li Yang was looking for materials. Some steel bars were used to build dams and convenient roads before, and Li Yang remembered that there were still some left, including the useless short ones, which he picked up and put away, and now they are finally useful. The extension of the Liyang Dam, including the convenient road, is made of steel bars, because the terrain here is uneven, and if the steel is not used as support, the road surface is easy to tilt and crack, so some steel bars are purchased. Li Yang chose a good one, then found his father, and the two began to get busy. Father Li himself knows how to weld, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is omnipotent, although he is not proficient, but he can do a little. Because sometimes when some workers are inconvenient, it is directly up to Li's father. The two of them worked for half an hour, and finally got the base right. After getting the base, he welded the iron sheet and the base together, especially where the iron sheet was jointed, and Father Li also specially found some broken iron sheet to weld on it. After all these were completed, Li Yang began to grab the mud prepared in the morning and rub it inside, rubbed a thick circle, smoothed it, and then put a thing made of bamboo in the middle, which played a fixed role. When all was done, Li Yang sandwiched the red-hot coals from another stove into it and began to dry them. This work must last almost two days to be completely completed, although it looks ugly, but after all, it is made by himself, and Li Yang still has a sense of accomplishment. Later in the evening, Li Yang, the eldest uncle, and the second uncle spent two hours making more than 100 small animal traps. Before the sky was completely dark, the three of them came to the vegetable patch and began to set it up. Because of the fear that the night watchman would accidentally step on it, the traps are generally arranged on the periphery of the vegetable patch, along the circle. There are also some places in the middle, but there will be a sign here to remind everyone that there is danger here, and you need to walk carefully. The wild boar may go down the mountain, the uncle and they also know, but there is no way to prevent this thing, the wild boar is too large, and it lives in groups, and there are very few lone wild boars, even if they stand in front of you, sometimes they can't get it. In this regard, the advice given by the uncle is to always be vigilant. Early the next morning, Li Yang got up, and he was going to pick up all the clips. Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the vegetable field, I saw the figure of the second uncle. Recently, the weather has become cold, and Li Yang didn't let people guard here, after all, it was cold, and there were no measures to protect the vegetable field, so just let the villagers remember to come and inspect it in the middle of the night. The second uncle carried a hare, indicating that there was a harvest. Clips are not put every day, and sometimes they are forgotten when they are busy. Generally, there will be some harvest when you put it down, and there are three or four when there are more, and there are often one when you put it down. It took almost half an hour, and Li Yang and the second uncle, and later the eldest uncle, finally finished it. It can be said that the harvest is quite rich, a total of four hares, a chipmunk that came out to feed, and some shedding hair, I don't know what animal left. Because the weather was too cold, the rabbit had frozen to death, and its body was a little stiff, so the uncle and uncle dealt with it directly, and as for the corpse of the chipmunk, because it was too small, Li Yang found a place to bury it. After Li Yang cleaned up, he found that the eldest uncle and the second uncle were still slowly watching something in the corner of the vegetable patch. "Did you find anything?" Li Yang walked over and asked. "There's a big thing in the vegetable patch, it looks like it's out to eat," the uncle said, pointing to the footprints on the ground, and said with a smile. "What?" Li Yang was shocked when he heard this, he thought it was a wild boar coming, but it didn't look like the footprints of a wild boar. "What is this?" Li Yang asked. "Roe deer," said the second uncle. "Wild roe deer?" Li Yang said in surprise. "Yes, the mountains are covered with heavy snow, and the snow has not been heavy in recent years, or it has not snowed at all, and it has snowed twice this year, and it is estimated that there is a shortage of food in the mountains, and these things have also come out to find something to eat," the uncle explained. "I haven't shot a gun for many years, and things in this mountain are starting to increase again," the second uncle expressed his worry as he moved. "The rabbits are about to become a disaster, we have to think of a way, many crops in the village have been plagued this year", the uncle nodded and said, "We are all old, talk to Liu Gang, let him organize a hunting team, and go to the mountains in the spring after the New Year, we must find a way to do something?" When the second uncle heard this, he expressed some concern and said, "Hunting team? It's been a long time, and few people know how to do it." "There are still some people, you are one, Liu Gang is one, Dali's Lao Tzu is the best hunter in our village, he has at least half of his skills, plus Niu Hua, the four of you are the main force, and then find some young people, aren't some young people coming back during this time? Pick a few more, train a few more, and strive to get something out", said the uncle. The second uncle nodded and began to think. "What is a hunting party?" Li Yang asked taking advantage of the gap. "In fact, it is to go into the mountains to hunt, when we were young, there was no food, the village will organize a group of people to hunt in the mountains, some harvest, but also feed a lot of people, at that time the animals are getting less and less, and then the food income has increased, there are more fields, we don't have to venture into the mountains, these years the animals in the mountains are recuperating, and there is a trend of starting to go down the mountain, the hunting team is mainly responsible for cleaning out an area, no need to go deeper, the main thing is to vacate a quarantine area."
