Chapter 189: The House and the Boar
To survive in the wild and build a house, the most time spent is actually collecting materials.
Even if a normal person has an axe, it takes a lot of time to cut down a small tree, let alone gather all the timber to build an entire house.
In addition, the physical exertion of survival in the wild is very fast, and most of the time has to be allocated to find food, and it usually takes days or even ten days to build a larger shelter or a better house.
Ren Bufan does not have this problem, although there is not much food at present, the energy needed to maintain survival is enough.
The level 7 flowing wind leg can freely control the force, and one leg can directly break the thick tree with the mouth of the bowl. It's easy to split, but if you step on it with one foot, the tree will crack directly, and you can easily break the whole tree into wood one by hand by stepping on it a few more times. It's not very regular, but at least it works.
At first, when the force was not well controlled, the place where I stepped on it was directly broken into sawdust, but it took a while to figure out how much force to use.
Ren Bufan dragged the trees out of the woods very quickly, Su Tian didn't care about it at first, but later felt strange.
After all, he only had a broken iron rod in his hand to act as a "knife", and the sharpness was limited, so he asked curiously: "Bufan, why did you cut down trees so fast?"
"Oh, I didn't cut it much, I just crushed it with my weight. Ren Bufan made a gesture of riding on the tree and did not tell Su Tian the truth.
After all, he would do this kind of kung fu that was detached from reality, and Su Tian might doubt it after knowing it. After all, this is contrary to the common sense of ordinary people! If she accidentally leaks her mouth while chatting with others, spreading it may cause a lot of trouble. You must know that you are now a public figure, and it is easy to be noticed by the media.
Besides, there's no need to show off to her.
Su Tian was relatively simple, and he didn't understand these things very well, so he believed him.
Once the materials were gathered, the construction of a new shelter began.
This time, I chose the beach that is very close to the meadow, but a little more away, and there are no particularly large trees around, only some wild grass.
Grassland is the most common place for snakes, insects, rats and ants, so it is safer to be slightly separated.
But you can't go too far into the beach, who knows if it's too close to the beach, and if the tide is too high, it will go straight into the house?
After choosing the address, first use the branch to measure, and then make the mark.
Different from ordinary shelters, this time there are enough materials and time, and Ren Bufan is ready to build a more comfortable new house.
After the planning is completed, the six thickest ones are selected as pillars.
Dig a pit and bury one in it, and erect it straight. The left and right sides are aligned with each other.
The two opposite ones in the middle are longer, and the four on both sides are shorter.
Fix it like a flagpole, shake it a few times to make sure it is firm, take a few straight tree trunks and tie them to the top of the "flagpole" with vines, turning them into three "horizontal bars" with high in the middle and low on the sides.
"Huh!" Su Tian, who was weaving clothes by the fire, noticed the structure of the new house and was a little curious, "Fanfan, what are you building?
"Well, I'm going to build a warmer house with walls on all sides. ”
"Is it too late?" Su Tian wondered.
"Rest assured, make it habitable today. It will be completed directly tomorrow!" "The reason why Ren Bufan is so confident is that his construction skills have been upgraded to level 4 before he came here, and after building a shelter in front of him, he has been successfully promoted to level 5 entry, which is more handy.
Seeing that he was so confident, Su Tian looked curiously while weaving.
Ren Bufan took two more pieces of wood and tied them to the top of the lower "flagpoles" on the left and right sides, and tightly wrapped the long "flagpoles" with vines in the middle to form two triangles.
After that, some shorter thick sticks were folded and tied at an angle on both sides, slightly separated in the middle.
Soon the prototype of a triangular roof was completed.
Su Tian was a little numb, and it seemed that Ren Bufan was no longer surprised to do anything.
After the frame was completed, Ren Bufan began to dig the pit again, and in the middle of several "flagpoles", there were two sides to bury some slightly relatively thin but very strong pillars.
One side leaves room for two people to enter and exit.
After being buried and tied with vines, the wood that has been trampled and torn into strips, starting from the bottom, is woven in and out, right in the middle of the pillars.
The way is very simple, insert between the two pillars and fold them out from the front. Just like threading a needle, it quickly formed a mesh of wooden walls, although the air leakage was still very serious.
It took most of the day to fill most of the four walls with strips of wood, and it was really like that.
Ren Bufan went to the neighborhood to collect a large number of coconut leaves, spread them very carefully layer by layer, and then fixed them with vines. An extra layer is added on top to ensure that rainwater does not leak into the room.
Su Tian put down the work in his hand and ran over to visit the house. Unlike that one-sided triangular shelter, there is a special sense of security that is surrounded by walls.
However, she also had some doubts: "Extraordinary, decent is decent, but there are holes in all directions, and it can't stop the sea breeze at all!"
"Don't worry!" Ren Bufan finished all this, a little tired.
Judging by the biological clock, it must be afternoon now, but I don't know when.
My stomach was a little hungry, and I was sweating a lot and panting.
"Aren't you okay?" asked Su Tian.
"Well, I'll dig up some dirt on the side, neutralize it with seawater and weeds, and then paste it around and turn it into a mud wall. Wiping his sweat, Ren Bufan put down the tools in his hand, "It is estimated that it will be done very late, but there is no problem in getting a wall before dark, at least it can block the sea breeze." Then these three sides are slightly stacked and moved directly over at night. It's just that you don't have time to get a bed now, and you have to stay away from the wall when you sleep at night, the mud won't dry for a while, and you definitely don't want to wake up with rubbing all over your body. ”
"You've made it so spacious, we both can stretch out, there should be no problem. Su Tian said, "But can there be a fire in the house? ”
"Don't worry, I'll also paste it with mud, so I don't have to worry about it burning. Ren Bufan said, "I want to rest for a while and eat something first." ”
"Do you want to eat candy?" Su Tian immediately asked.
"The candy is kept for emergencies, and I'll go see if the fishing traps have been caught. ”
"Oh!"
Ren Bufan ran to the beach, glanced at the still empty sea, there was neither a search ship nor an airplane, and immediately sighed.
How far were Su Tian and I swept out by the waves? Why haven't the rescue team found them now?
Shaking his head, he ran to the place where the trap had been placed and began to check the harvest.
What a surprise!
This fishing trap caught a lot of money, two large blue crabs, a lobster, and a fairly large grouper.
Slaughter them on the spot, throw their entrails back to continue as bait, wash them and bring them back to cook and eat them.
This time both of them were well fed.
"If only there were so many for every meal!" Su Tian said.
Now it's two meals a day, which is enough to survive, but there is still a considerable amount of time to starve.
"I make a few more fishing traps at night. Ren Bufan said.
"Let's do it together!" Su Tian said, "If you do more, you might catch more fish." ”
"Hmm!"
Eat and drink well, and take a short break to regain your strength.
Ren Bufan set off again, made a simple "trailer" with coconut leaves, dug the soil in the grass with a "spear", took a jar of seawater and poured it on top of the soil, kneaded it like dough to make piles of materials, and then dragged it to the edge of the house, starting from the bottom layer by layer, and constantly smoothing it with his hands to make a simple mud wall.
Then go to the dredging, and keep repeating.
While he was busy, he heard something in the distance, and he heard something in the grass.
Quickly put down the work in hand, vigilantly picked up the "spear", and cautiously went over to investigate.
To his surprise, several black shadows flashed in the bushes at a considerable distance from here. If you don't see dazzling, it should be a wild boar.
"Bufan, what's wrong?" Su Tian ran over worriedly.
"It's okay!" Ren Bufan pointed into the distance, "There seems to be a wild boar over there." ”
"Wild boar?" Su Tian was startled, "I heard it's dangerous!"
"Hmm!"
"They're not coming, are they?"
"It's a little far away, so I shouldn't come here. Ren Bufan thought for a moment, "You stay in the camp well, before it gets dark, I'll go over and have a look!"
"Don't!" Su Tian was very scared, "It is said on TV that wild boars are very fierce, and there are often news that hurt people! Let's stay away from it......
"It's okay, I won't get too close!" Ren Bufan said, "Don't run around, I'll be back right away!"
"Extraordinary......" Su Tian wanted to dissuade him, but saw that he had already run forward quickly.
Ren Bufan is not afraid of wild boars, it may be better for ordinary people not to provoke them when they see them, his level 7 flowing wind leg can easily kick any adult wild boar to death. Not to mention, there is also grandmaster-level Taijiquan, and self-preservation is no problem.
If you can hunt wild boars, you don't have to worry about food at all, one pig is enough for them to eat for a long time!
When they arrived at the place where the wild boars were active, they had disappeared and disappeared nowhere. A careful search around the area also did not find any signs.
Ren Bufan investigated in situ and found an obvious path, which should have been formed by the wild boar's body crushing the weeds when it was foraging. And there is a lot of wild boar manure on the road, which is their only way.
It doesn't matter if you can't find them, there are other ways!
Look for vines on the spot, quickly weave them into a strong rope, and carefully set a few lasso traps on the boar path.
Wild boars pass by this side, and if they step on the trap, they may be trapped in their heads or limbs, and they can be killed and get a lot of food!
Hopefully the trap will work and come back tomorrow and be rewarded.
Ren Bufan looked around again and made sure that there was no trace of the wild boar, so he turned around and left the forest.
