Chapter 55 Digging the Foundation and Nail the Stakes

The lame mother who disembowels the wolf cub to death, for the tribe, such a delicious food obviously cannot be abandoned.

Han Cheng was worried that the little wolf cub would be eager when he saw it, so he deliberately explained that he was lame outside the cave to carry out this activity.

And he made a small pot for the wolf cub to boil broth to eat.

The reason why Han Cheng is so interested in the little wolf cub is because the little wolf cub is very playful, and he always sticks to him.

The second is that this guy looks quite similar to the second-level divine beast Erha raised by Han Cheng in his later life, and when he was a child, he saw things and thought about dogs, which made Han Cheng feel compassion for this little wolf cub.

Although the guy he raised in the later generations had nothing to do with the old family, many times Han Chengdu had the idea of eating divine beasts live broadcast, but after not seeing him for so long, he still wanted to.

The third is that he wants to try to domesticate this little wolf cub to see if he can give the 'white-eyed wolf' to the most loyal companion of humans.

If you can really succeed, then in the future, whether you are taking care of the home or going hunting, you will be a good hand.

The little wolf cub was too small to drink the broth in the bowl directly, so Han Cheng could only dip it with his fingers and then let it eat.

The little mouth that had just grown baby teeth was biting and sucking on its fingers, tickling.

I don't know if I'm hungry, or the broth with salt is particularly appetizing, the small half bowl of broth and two mouthfuls of Han Cheng's chewed meat were actually eaten by this little guy.

The well-fed little guy didn't hum and look around Han Cheng for milk to eat, but lay on the ground, snuggled up to Han Cheng's feet tightly, put his head on his little paws and began to sleep.

Before going to bed at night, Han Cheng fed the little wolf cub twice.

Near the edge of the inner cave, Han Cheng used a few pieces of adobe that had been made earlier to build a nest for the little wolf cub, and also put soft hay in it, and then held the little wolf cub in both hands and put it in, and after settling it, Han Cheng also went to sleep.

As a result, he walked on the front foot, and the little guy came out on the back foot, following behind Han Cheng.

After doing this five times, Han Cheng finally gave up his plan to let the little wolf cub sleep alone in the kennel.

The little wolf cub who was finally not taken away was very excited, and from time to time he used his little head against Han Cheng's arm to play with Han Cheng, and when it was time to sleep, he snuggled tightly against Han Cheng's feet.

But this is risky, and when he slept until midnight, Han Cheng, who was turned over, suddenly kicked under the bed, and snorted aggrievedly.

Of course, there is also a little bad about this, that is, the little guy sometimes surrounds Han Cheng to find milk to eat when he is hungry at night.

So Han Cheng returned to the pre-liberation overnight and was very similar to the wolf's *** little finch was killed.

After doing this twice, Han Cheng had to put on his fart impermeable leather pants when he slept at night......

A fallen tree is much easier to bully than a tree standing there.

One is because the tree has completely given up resistance, and lying on the ground is completely the appearance of Ren Jun's wanton pity.

Another reason is that when a person's feet are on the ground, they can use their strength.

It took a day and a half, under Han Cheng's verbal guidance and the unremitting efforts of Senior Brother and others, the three lines that were going to build the wall were cleared.

Then it's time to dig the foundation.

At this time, the tools were simple, and it was really difficult to dig deeper, so Han Cheng did not ask for a particularly deep foundation, only about thirty centimeters deep.

During the first two days of excavation, the soil was moist due to heavy rain, which was relatively easy, but after a few days of evaporation from the sun, the ground dried out, and it was much more difficult to dig.

Han Cheng asked several people to stop working, no longer letting them dig the foundation, but using clay pots to bring water from the river, and wet the excavated place with water, so that it would be much easier to dig again.

With the joint efforts of more than 20 people, the work of digging the foundation was not slow, and in five days, the 300-meter foundation in the westernmost part was dug up.

The remaining two Han Cheng are not ready to excavate now, because it is already summer, and there is a lot of rain, and if you dig at this time, you need to clean it up again when it is time to pile the soil.

Of course, the foundation of the east-west wall that connects with the southernmost part of the west wall has to be dug up, because the corners of the wall are the most important, and if they are not built together, when the wall is built, the three walls will be separated from each other, and they will not be connected at all.

This is also the reason why when building a house or fence in the countryside, the corners of the wall are built first.

Moreover, the person who 'holds the horns' must also have excellent hand work, which is generally done by the best of the masons.

Because the quality of the 'slot' is directly related to the straightness of the two walls.

Because of his experience in this area, when building the wall, under Han Cheng's guidance, he did not start from the section of the mountain wall where the tribe's cave was located in the north, but from the southernmost corner.

Once the corners are laid, a wall can be extended to the north and east.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The fat second senior brother held a stone and drove a stump more than a meter long with an arm thickness into the excavated foundation.

The stakes sink into the ground about forty centimeters deep.

Without a hammer, it would be much more difficult to smash a stake on the ground while holding a stone, so in order to speed up the process and reduce the difficulty of everyone's work, Han Cheng began to use his ingenuity.

He first had the end of the stick as strong as possible, so that it would be easier to get into the earth.

Another requirement for such sticks is that they are much thinner than those that will be nailed into the bottom as stakes.

After a batch of such sticks can be called 'chisels', they can be started.

Before nailing the stump to the excavated foundation, people use this 'drill' to smash down at the selected location, and after hitting to a certain extent, shake the drill back and forth to pull it out, and then put it back in the hole and continue to smash.

This is to prevent the nail from being too deep and not being pulled out when the time comes.

This is repeated until the mark about 35 centimeters on the drill is level with the ground, and the drill is pulled out.

Because the wood of this stick, which is used as a "chisel", is hard, the head is sharp, and it is relatively thin, and it is much easier to nail it into the ground than the arm thick.

After the drill is pulled out, a hole is left in the spot, and the person in charge of nailing the stake, who has been prepared for a long time, picks up a stake and puts it on the hole that has been nailed out, and smashes it down with a stone.

Because a hole has been nailed out in advance, it takes too much effort to smash it up.

And because the original hole is thin, the pile is now thick, and after the pile is smashed down, there will be no loose and unstable phenomenon.
