Chapter 436: How to Chisel Ice

The ice cave is only more than two meters away from the shore, and it is more than half a person deep, so it is naturally difficult for the female clouded leopard to fall in normal times. But today's temperature is around freezing, so what would it be like to fall into the cold ice water.

The guy tried to crawl up the ice, but as soon as his paws touched the edge of the hole, the thin layer of ice began to crumble.

The grass leopard was caught off guard and fell back to the bottom. After drinking a lot of water several times in a row, it became more and more sluggish.

At this time, Liu Junhao finally woke up from his surprise, and he couldn't delay, otherwise he would toss for another two minutes and estimated that the clouded leopard would drown, so he hurriedly ran to the opposite side of the puddle.

Of course, Liu Junhao was not stupid enough to jump directly into the icy water to save the clouded leopard, but grabbed a big rock on the shore and smashed it on the ice.

There was a "click" sound, and all the thin ice within a radius of several meters was shattered, and then he grabbed a nearby branch and stretched it out. The clouded leopard was smart, and immediately opened its mouth to bite the other end of the branch.

It struggled in the water, and when it climbed ashore, it was already dying, and its wet body was limp on the ground, looking exhausted.

Seeing that the clouded leopard's belly was swollen, obviously he had drunk a lot of ice water, Liu Junhao didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly asked everyone to make a fire to dry its fur, otherwise this guy would freeze out if he didn't die.

Fortunately, there was no shortage of firewood at the foot of the mountain, and everyone who reacted immediately went to the grass to pull artemisia grass. At this time, the roots of Artemisia grass have rotted and it is easy to pull up. With almost no effort, they had already unplugged a whole bunch.

There was a heavy rain just yesterday, and the artemisia grass was so wet that it couldn't be lit at all. However, this is not difficult for Liu Junhao, who has lived in Liujiagou since he was a child, and naturally knows where to find firewood and grass for fire. Turning his head to take a few looks, he soon found a few handfuls of dry stammering grass under a few rocks.

After seeing the direction of the wind, Liu Junhao used a lighter to set the stammering grass on fire. When the flame increased, he carefully picked up some artemisia leaves and added them.

When the fire was fully ignited, he asked everyone to cover the artemisia grass in one go.

Soon the monstrous smoke rushed into the sky, leaving a clear column of smoke in the air.

Although the weather was gloomy at this time, the smoke was still noticed by the villagers. Liu Guangju thought that the mountain was on fire, so he led people to hurry with the guys.

When he heard what had just happened here, Liu Guangju was also amazed and said that the fox had become a sperm

The grass leopard was a little afraid of fire, and did not dare to move forward at all...... This guy should have drunk a lot of ice water, and the taste of hot and cold stimulation was naturally unpleasant, and he spit out a lot on the ground as soon as he stood up slowly.

After tossing for a long time, the clouded leopard almost didn't even have the strength to stand up, so naturally there was no way to shoot.

Liu Junhao was also afraid of letting it continue to stay in the wild, so he simply reached out and picked up the clouded leopard and let a few leopard cubs go home with him. The body of the female clouded leopard weighs only a few dozen catties, and it doesn't take much effort to hold it.

"What's wrong with the clouded leopard?" Zhang Qian asked in surprise. He didn't expect his husband to go out and bring the clouded leopard back.

"It's nothing, I just fell into the water." Liu Junhao sent the clouded leopard upstairs, and then briefly told his daughter-in-law what had just happened.

"I knew that the clouded leopard couldn't fight the fox, it was so cunning......" At this time, Zhang Qian had a foresight, as if she had been optimistic about the grass civet a long time ago.

Liu Junhao didn't have time to listen to his wife's show, he always paid attention to the movements of the grass leopard, for fear that this guy would fall into sequelae.

Fortunately, the leopard's physique was stronger than he expected, and after half a day and a night's rest, he led a few leopard cubs into the courtyard early the next morning.

After three days of gloomy weather, the weather finally cleared.

The ice on the ground, under the eaves, at the tops of the trees began to melt rapidly. After half a day's work, there was a pool of stagnant water on the ground.

Liu Junhao was afraid that his wife would slip while walking in the courtyard, so he had already shoveled out the ice on the ground, so there were not many puddles in his courtyard. On the dirt road in front of the door, Liu Guangju deliberately found someone to pad it with sand, and after the ice water melted, it was all immersed in the sand, and it had become semi-dry in half a day.

As soon as the ice on the ground had melted, just when everyone thought it was time to get warmer, the snow began to fall.

Heavy snow intermittently for a whole week, looking at the weather forecast on the Internet, heavy snow falls all over the country, and this kind of weather will last for at least half a month.

At night, it is even colder, and the temperature drops to several degrees below zero. The snow that fell on the ground was quickly shoveled off by Liu Junhao, and then sprinkled a thin layer of sand on the ground, naturally there was no freezing. However, the thin ice in the ditch did not melt in the first place, and the snowflakes that had fallen on it for several days did not have time to melt, and soon condensed into ice, which was more than ten centimeters thick in a few days.

At this time, Liu Junhao was completely busy, and every day he got up, he first had to go to the yard to clear the snow, and then he had to go to the ditch to break the ice to facilitate the waterfowl to eat.

He had secretly looked into the stone lock, but he didn't expect that there was also a thin layer of ice in the stone lock. Liu Junhao felt fresh, and he remembered that it was the first time he saw the ice in the stone lock.

However, it is understandable that the temperature in the stone lock is generally a few degrees higher than that of the outside world. Now it's several degrees below zero outside, and the temperature inside the stone lock is certainly not high.

The pond where the spring was located did not freeze, but continued to bubble outward.

Liu Junhao deliberately touched the temperature in the pond with his hand, it was cold and swishing on the side, but it was a little hot near the spring, no different from a geothermal hot spring.

He couldn't help but strip naked and soak in it for half an hour, and when he got up from the spring, he was very comfortable, and even his skin was a little delicate.

There are so many benefits of this spring that it's a pity that I can't bring my wife in to soak in the hot spring together. However, Liu Junhao has a way, when his daughter-in-law asks him to boil water to take a bath at night, he is lazy and saves trouble, and directly makes a few large basins of spring water and pours them into the bathtub. Zhang Qian also exclaimed comfort after taking a bath, and even said that it was good to take a hot bath in winter.

In the morning, Liu Junhao had just finished cleaning the yard and was lifting the shovel to break the ice outside the yard, when he found that Professor Zhao was already standing by the pit and was busy driving. This old man is idle all day long, and every time he breaks the ice, he comes to help, just to exercise.

Liu Junhao screamed early, grabbed the shovel and smashed it down, but only a white mark was printed on the ice cube, and there was not even a crack.

"Damn, it's so thick" He didn't believe in evil, and smashed it with a shovel. The arm was numb, but the ice was still intact.

"Hehe, I tried it just now, and I guess today's ice cream is not easy to beat." Old Man Zhao smiled and shook his head.

"It's so thick, it should be able to take advantage of people, right?" Liu Junhao tentatively stood on the ice cube: he didn't hear the click of the ice, and then he boldly put his feet on. Sure enough, there was no problem.

Liu Junhao's childlike interest increased greatly, and he smashed it on the ice with a shovel, and his feet slid more than three meters away on the ice.

"It's really possible" Old Man Zhao was also a little moved, and tentatively stepped on the ice. He didn't dare to skate like Liu Junhao, but walked around cautiously.

No matter how heavy the snow is, the ice is bare, and there is nothing to cover it, so it is very suitable for skating. Liu Junhao became more and more excited, and he didn't even know when his daughter-in-law would walk out of the door.

"Squeak......" Wukong couldn't help jumping on the ice when he saw that his master was having a good time. The guy's claws shivered as soon as they touched the ice, and he hurriedly jumped to the shore and tightened the white scarf around his shoulders.

A few days ago, Zhang Qian saw that it was cold, so she got some wool and made a scarf for her husband, but she didn't expect the monkey to see it and rush to ask for it. She saw that there was still a lot of wool left, so she simply gave Wukong a pocket version. Unexpectedly, after this guy wore it around his neck, he immediately began to show off, and he made up in front of the mirror all day long, and Zhang Qian also took a lot of photo albums for the monkey for this reason.

......The group of Qingzhuang was originally waiting for the owner to break the ice on the shore, but after waiting for a long time without movement, they began to make noise in a hurry.

Listening to Qingzhuang croaking around them, Liu Junhao remembered the icebreaking.

"What to do?" Professor Zhao tried to hold a rock and throw it down, but the ice still didn't move.

"It's useless, this ice is almost twenty centimeters deep, you have to find an iron drill." Liu Junhao thought about it and said.

"Iron drills?" Professor Zhao didn't know what to do with the iron drill.

"Punch holes in the ice with an iron hammer and stick into it. The iron drill is what we use when we build a house and lay the foundation......"

This method of ice chiseling was common when Liu Junhao was a child, and it was mainly used to net fish.

At that time, the scene was very large, and the whole village of men, women and children stood by the weir pond and waited to pick up fish. Before digging the ice, you should put a few door panels on the ice, which is mainly to prevent the ice from suddenly bursting and someone falling into the water.

When the position is fixed, several rod laborers all stand on the door panel. One person holds on to the hammer, while the others pick up sledgehammers and smash them down until they chisel through the ice.

Four or five holes were dug in a row, and then everyone pressed the iron drill and worked hard to uncover the ice.

Of course, there is also a method of stone ramming to break the ice, which is also a tool used by people to build houses in the past, and it is very simple to make. The stone is ground into a rectangular shape, and then four holes are drilled at both ends to tie the well rope. Of course, the stone must be selected to be earthquake-resistant, and the general stone will be broken after a few hits.

In the past, when building a house, the foundation was made solid with stone rammer, and the effect was somewhat similar to today's. When ramming, you must shout slogans to adjust the rhythm, otherwise it is easy to sprain your waist.

"Do you want to go to the village to find an iron drill?" Professor Zhao asked.

"Why are you doing this, just use your brains a little" Liu Junhao pointed to his head and replied, "I'll give you a non-mainstream icebreaker method below." ”

", what can you do?" Although Professor Zhao didn't believe it, he was looking forward to his performance.

"You wait, I'll go back to the house and get ready." Liu Junhao spoke in the vernacular, and directly pulled his wife into the house.

He was going to blow up the ice with gunpowder...... In terms of playing with gunpowder, Liu Junhao also has a deep attainment. The most proud thing back then was that after pondering, he successfully "developed" the small dragon cannon fried fish. But this thing is too dangerous, once he and Liu Qiyong almost blew themselves up when they fried fish,
