Chapter Ninety-Three: Braiding Wooden Walls, Erecting Beams, Tying Rafters, and Weaving Fences

Because of the arrival of this group of deer, the Qingque tribe was full of joy, but at the same time there were some worries in their hearts.

This kind of worry does not exist among the ordinary people in the tribe, and only exists between the three giants of the Qingque tribe - Han Cheng, Wu, and Senior Brother.

Their worries come from the pig tribe.

Now ten days have passed since the visit of the pig tribe, and it is impossible to remember this mistake, because Wu, who is very concerned about this matter, has already drawn ten paths on a pottery plate.

The food given to them by the senior brother was only enough for them to eat for five or six days at most, and according to calculations, they should have come three days ago at the latest, and in fact, until now, Han Cheng and the others had not seen the shadow of the pig tribe.

This made several people who were thinking about wanting to incorporate the pig tribe into the Qingque tribe seem very anxious.

Could it be that the people of the pig tribe have hit the prey? Or did you go to another tribe and find food?

There were so many things that could happen that Han Cheng and the others could only wait anxiously.

As for going to the pig tribe to see it, forget it, it is dangerous to spend the night in the wild, especially in the winter, if there is no way, not many tribes are willing to spend the night in the wild.

While waiting for the pig tribe, the people of the Qingque tribe were not idle, they had their own things to do, that is, under the leadership of the god son Han Cheng, they continued to build a deer pen.

Han Cheng's original idea was to put the entire deer pen under the roof, but after thinking about it carefully, he abandoned this idea.

One is that the light is not good, and the other is that the amount of work required is too large and too troublesome.

After thinking about it, Han Cheng decided to adopt a compromise method, that is, to cover one-fifth of the deer pen and cover the rest, and the rest was open to the air.

In this way, when the weather is good, the deer can bask in the sun on the open side, and when the weather is bad, they can return to the covered side to take shelter from the rain and snow, and even on rainy days, they can have a dry place to rest.

It's not that hard.

The first step is to draw a straight north-south line 10 meters east of the deer pen, where a wall will be built to divide the deer pen into two parts.

After the line is drawn, the previous method of building a deer pen is used, and a pit is dug out of this line, every one meter apart, and then a pillar is planted into the pit, this time the pillar is thicker, and it is the thickness of the bowl.

The row of columns was more than a metre higher than the edges, so that the slope could be created so that the roof that would be built later could be drained.

After the pillars were erected, they began to weave from the branches, but this time they were woven higher than before, from the ground to the top.

Because this is to create a wall that can protect from the wind and rain, this kind of weaving is necessary.

However, the branches woven this time were not as dense as before, because later, Han Cheng had to make people paste mud on both sides of the fence that was woven here, so there was no need to weave them so densely.

Of course, not all the pillars have to be woven with branches, and if they do, there is no way to get in and out.

At the southern end, Han Cheng deliberately left three gaps for the deer to enter and exit the two places.

The part of the gap that is one meter six above the ground begins to be woven with branches.

At the top of this row of columns, a column is placed horizontally, which can be called a beam.

Doing so will make the columns more solid and prepare for the placement of the rafters later.

Because there is no 'gong' shaped 'nail', it is a bit troublesome to fix the wooden beams, so it can only be tied with tough rattan and tied as strong as possible.

This is already a high-altitude operation for the Qingque tribe.

However, as early as when the wall was built, under the guidance of Han Cheng, they used wood to build a lot of shelves for stepping on the station, and of course Han Cheng was reluctant to destroy these shelves, so wouldn't they be used now?

The west wall (let's call it the wall) is ten meters away from the one that had been built on the east side, and this span is too large to make it difficult to go up the rafters in the future.

One reason is that it is difficult to find branches of the right thickness and up to 10 meters long to make rafters, and the other reason is that the gap is too large and not strong, and it is easy to fall off the roof when the time is reached. That is, the roof is prone to collapse.

Therefore, Han Chengcheng planted two rows of pillars inside, and each of them raised a beam on it, so that the original spacing of ten meters was separated by these two horizontal beams, and it became more than three or three meters.

Of course, the pillars that erect these two beams do not need to be so close together as before, they can be erected every three meters and connected in a row from north to south.

There was also a beam on the easternmost wall, at the edge of the deer pen.

Once the four beams are erected, it's time to tie the rafters between the four beams.

Rafters in the standard sense are made by dismantling wood into planks.

In this way, it is lighter, secondly, to save wood, and thirdly, because the specifications are the same, it is more beautiful.

At this time, the Qingque tribe obviously did not have such an ability, but fortunately, there was enough wood, and under Han Cheng's arrangement, the people in the tribe made a lot of sticks with the thickness of a baby's arm, and then tied one every thirty centimeters on the beam, connecting it from top to bottom.

Considering that when it was 'slanting rain', the earthen wall would be wet, and when tying the rafters, Han Cheng deliberately let the two ends of the rafters go out thirty centimeters each.

In this way, when the roof is built, it can not only prevent the water from the eaves from hitting the wall, but also shelter some slanting rain.

After the rafters are tied, what needs to be done is something called 'grid', which is the hometown of Han Cheng's later generations, and he doesn't know the official name.

This is done by first putting a log with a diameter of five centimeters and a length of more than four meters, and then tying a stick with a little finger thickness and a length of more than two meters to the log.

Three ropes are tied to the sticks, one at each end and in the middle.

The rope is also particular, and the place where the rope is tied needs to be tied two at a time.

Weaving a fence requires a lot of rope, so you can wrap the extra rope around a stone of the right size, leaving a length of about half a meter for use, and wrap the rest around and tie it to the stone to prevent it from loosening.

When the half meter of rope left is used up, untie it and loosen the half meter of rope to continue.

Stones with ropes, one on the left and one on the right, hang down on both sides of the overhead log.

Then a little finger or a tree strip thinner than the little finger is put on the first stick, and the six ropes that fall into the stone are swapped in turn, that is, the original left one is changed to the right one, and the right one is replaced to the left side of the beam, so that this tree strip is tied.

Then put another one and repeat the action until enough is added to the fence.

(I made this thing when I was a child, and it was very simple, but my expression skills were not good, and I needed to use a short paragraph to express it, so I will briefly mention it here.)

I was very entangled in the part about building a deer pen, because I had a lot of contact with grass houses and tiled houses, and when I wrote it, I wanted to write out these general processes, and I was worried that book friends would not like to read this, so I was very embarrassed...... )
