Now Ding Qi has grown into a shawl, and his beard is unkempt, and if he wears clothes made of animal fur or simply wraps a piece of animal skin around his lower body, he is really like a primitive man. The immaturity on his face has long been replaced by maturity, his complexion is a healthy wheat color, there is no fat on his body, if he is seen by the women of primitive times, then he is definitely a superstar, is he the target of their scrambling, or the kind of stalker.

Among the materials used to build the house, the tiles are more complicated to make and the firing time is longer. In order to reduce the process time and facilitate laying, Ding Qi made large tiles, similar to the red tiles in rural areas of modern society, but they are all flat. There is a protrusion in the middle of the top behind the tile, which is used to hang into the mud of the roof, and it is stronger to not fall off from the roof easily.

Tile making, like brick making and adobe making, are made in several molds in advance. Throw the prepared clay into the mold, spread the same width and thickness of the tile blank, after a little drying, then take it out and put it aside to continue drying, reach a certain amount and pile it into the cave kiln, spread it with charcoal and fire it together, and all the red tiles come out.

With all the materials ready, Ding Qi chose an auspicious day of the zodiac and began to lay the foundation stone. The foundation of the house was chosen about 15 meters behind the original wooden house, so that it could be integrated with the front house when there was enough time.

The so-called auspicious day of the zodiac is that after Ding Qi has eaten and drunk enough in the morning, laying the foundation is actually to dig the foundation of the house, tamp the foundation, sprinkle water and then tamp it, fill in the broken stones, sprinkle quicklime and soil, and then tamp the foundation to be completed.

Mortar is used to build walls, and Ding Qi can only use lime mortar made of mud and hydrated lime as a binder, with a ratio of 2:1. Whether it is red bricks or adobe burned, such mortar is used to build the wall.

The height and shape of the whole house are the same as those of the previous wooden houses, with the front and rear walls three meters high, and the east and west walls at the highest point of three meters and a half. The front and back walls have open windows, the south-facing windows are large, one for the bedroom and one for the living room, and the two windows on the north side are smaller, each of which is embedded in the wall with a sturdy wooden stick. The four corners of the wall are made of red bricks, and the actual effect is better than the previous plan, and it looks more durable.

After the wall was completed, Ding Qi cut down seven small trees from the forest, which were more than ten centimeters thick and cut into six meters long, and were erected on the wall as purlins, one ridge, and three on each side. The excess of the purlin extends to the outside. The rafters use a number of fist-thick wooden sticks collected from the rafters, each of which is 10 centimeters apart, which is relatively dense. Without nails, each rafter can only be tied to purlins. In order to be able to put the purlins and rafters on them, Tinchi made two herringbone ladders to make it easier for him to build all kinds of wood up and down.

The overall framework of the house was completed, and only the reeds and tiles were finally laid, and because the reeds were not prepared in advance, Ding Qi had to temporarily stop the final finishing work and focus on the collection of reed grass and the construction of the ondol.

Since the reeds were far away from the river, it was difficult to collect, so Tinch collected the weeds with long fibers and strong enough to use as reeds at the bottom of the hillside. It took Ding Qi two whole days to collect the grass, which was piled up next to the house to dry before being used.

Ding Qi worked very hard when making adobe, mixing water, mud and weeds, and it was very strong, and the flue and kang noodles used to make the kang were no problem, so there was no need to worry about how strong it was.

Ding Qi first built a stove with extra red bricks outside the wall between the bedroom and the living room, and opened an opening in the upper right corner where the stove meets the wall, which is connected to the ondol flue, and after the fire is ignited, the hot smoke enters the ondol from this opening.

Since there are walls on three sides, only one side of the kang needs to be built. The kang was 50 centimeters high, and the inside was erected with adobe in the form of an aisle, in which smoke flowed and went out through the hole in the wall at the end. The flue is placed with adobe, the gaps are blocked with lime mortar, and a layer of loess is spread to adjust the temperature of the kang surface. Add soil when it is hot, and reduce soil when it is cold, until the temperature is suitable and not cold or hot.

After the kang was built, Ding Qi began to plaster the interior and exterior walls, the mortar is made of hydrated lime mixed with some earth and fine weeds, which is strong enough to use, the indoor lighting will be better, and the exterior walls will look more comfortable.

After the walls were plastered, the weeds that were used as reeds were almost dried. Dingch tied them together, spread them on rafters, and then stacked the roof base made of water, mud and weeds on the weedy reeds, smoothed them and laid the tiles from left to right and bottom to top. The protrusions at the top of the tiles are pressed directly into the mud, and when they are dry, they become stronger.

The laying of the roof tiles takes up a lot of time, just like the making of the tiles, but when they are finished, the whole house looks very beautiful. Red tiles and white walls, green trees, strong pastoral taste, picturesque, people have endless aftertaste. Although the field is just a dandelion field, there is only a decent house.

After the house was built, Ding Qi lit a fire on the stove and in the house to speed up the drying and hardening of the walls, the ground, and the ondol. These are the things he heard adults say and experience as a child. The burning flame produces large amounts of carbon dioxide, which react chemically with calcium hydroxide in the hydrated lime on the wall to produce calcium carbonate and water. Calcium carbonate is actually limestone, which can keep the wall from deforming in a dry environment, and look neat and smooth, while the heat generated by the fire accelerates the evaporation of water and dries faster.

Regarding the problem of stoves and ondols, Ding Qi is mainly worried that wet stoves and ondols are easy to produce carbon monoxide, which is harmful to the human body and even life-threatening. Therefore, Ding Qi decided to clean up the house before using it so that he could move in with peace of mind.

The house has been built, and from a distance, it means that there are two courtyards, with the north room in the back and the south room in front, and then the courtyard wall is expanded to the newly built house, and the feeling is getting more and more positive.

The house was built, and Ding Qi felt that it should be celebrated. Bathing and changing clothes, sacrificing to the temple of the five internal organs, this is all a routine form. Ding Qi went back to the house to get a change of clothes, and did not forget to bring his weapon and fish cage, put on his back the basket, and beckoned the three of them to rush to the lake outside the meadow under the hillside.

Before, Ding Qi had the habit of taking a bath every day, at the beginning it was in the creek, and with the clay pot, he didn't have to run so far to wash directly outside the house, but today he still wants to go to the lake to swim around and release his mood. By the way, let the three little ones clean up, Ding Qi found out that they have lice on them a few days ago.

Since I often take a bath, wash my hair and wash my clothes, I have not found lice on my body. There are three of them, and it may be that two wolf cubs have infected the little cutie. The lice in the primitive period are really different, not to mention the fat, not to mention the fat, not to mention the difficulty of grabbing, and the movement is agile. Ding Qi turned the three pets up and down as soon as he found lice, and eliminated all the adult lice and their eggs, but he didn't dare to guarantee that there were no fish that slipped through the net, so he still bathed frequently and paid attention to hygiene to solve this problem.

One person and three pets quickly came to the lake, startled countless waterfowl on the shore, circled a few times, and fell into the reeds not far away. Looking at the clear water, Ding Qi couldn't help but want to jump in. But he was still not so impulsive, so he threw the fish cage into the lake first, and then took them around to check around, and after making sure that there was no danger, he chose a spot, undressed and prepared to enter the water.

The smoke is vast, only the reed duck plays in the water; Thousands of miles of smoke and dust, leaving this place quiet. Tinch stripped naked, and the celestial baths took shape, as if there was a kind of self-respecting spirit where I am.

The weather was a little cool, so Ding Qi didn't dare to jump in directly at will, but moved his body, fully warmed up before slowly stepping into the water, splashing the lake water on his arms and chest as he walked, and only after getting used to it did he immerse himself in the water and swim forward.

On the shore, the three pets saw Ding Qi swimming around on the water, and they screamed excitedly, and they threw themselves into the water and circled around Ding Qi. Wolves are born to swim, and the commonly known dog planing refers to the dog swimming, and what is the little black and white swimming in the water? Also called dog planers, because they both quickly turn into dogs.

The lynx can also swim, and since it grew up, Tinch has seen it swim twice, and it is a feline, and it behaves a bit like a cat, and some do not like to swim. It's just that today they were all very excited, and they all came in.

After swimming happily, Ding Qi suddenly noticed that several wild ducks were swimming in the water not far away. Ding Qi's eyes lit up, and he quickly swam to the shore, broke a reed tube and put it in his mouth, and sank into the water.

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the guerrillas in the reeds used this method to attack the Japanese army and the puppet army in the past, creating a precedent for armed reconnaissance in modern warfare. As a reconnaissance leader of the special operations brigade, Ding Qi is armed to float and dive, so he wants to try to see if he can catch a duck underwater, which can be regarded as adding a delicacy to today's celebration banquet.

At the edge of the reeds, two wild ducks swim on the surface of the water, constantly pecking at the rich food in the water with their beaks, wandering unaware of the approaching danger, and even when they touch a reed, they circle around the reed, quacking, pecking with their beaks, and playing as usual.

The surface of the water rippled, and a pair of clutches stretched out to the anthurium that was paddling, accurate, swift and powerful.

Kill two birds with one stone!

Crash!

Two pairs of ducks cried out in horror, and their wings flapped vigorously against the water, splashing everywhere, but they could not fly, and could only quack, and were pulled below the water.

Underwater, Ding Qi paddled with his feet, rushed out of the water, waved two quarping ducks, laughed, twisted his neck with alternating hands, and paddled towards the shore. Little Cutie and Little Black and White saw Ding Qi appear, and rushed over together to greet Ding Qi.

After coming ashore, the bare-bottomed Ding Qi didn't care, watching the three little guys shake off the water droplets and play on the grass, casually threw the two ducks aside, and then went to pull the rope of the fish cage.

The rope vibrate, and the pulled hands felt a force coming, but it was chaotic, and the direction rushed around.

Bang bang bang

Five or six foot-long whitebait jumped in the fish cage, which made Ding Qi overjoyed, and he was still very happy to catch so many at once. Pouring the fish out and throwing it at the water's edge with a thin twig, Tinch threw the cage into the water again, while he himself plunged into the water from the shore and dived a long distance before he came out of the water to breathe.

Tinki was swimming in the water happily and feeling refreshed. And just as he kicked up the splash and went backswimming towards the shore, the three pets who were playing on the shore suddenly yelled at Ding Qi, their voices urgent, getting louder and louder, with a hint of fear.

Suddenly surprised by their sounds, Tinki quickly turned his body from backstroke to freestyle, and quickly rushed to the shore with all his nursing strength. The three pets warned that there was danger in the water, but Ding Qi did not dare to look back, for fear that this time of delay would become his last moment in this world.

Therefore, no matter what was behind him, he rushed forward with all his strength.
