Chapter 23 Renovate the house
If it weren't for the last time I climbed high and looked into the distance, I really would have thought that this was a prairie.
But it's also this patch of grass, don't worry too much, there will be nothing to burn in winter.
Just to make it easier to get water later, then only a piece of the area can be cleared out first and used as a pond.
It took more than an hour to successfully dig a large pit 100 meters wide and 50 centimeters deep, but it was not connected to the water source.
Liu Mulei thumped his waist and put down the shovel in his hand, "I didn't expect that the water resources here would be so abundant, it seems that the location of the fish pond was chosen correctly." ”
At a depth of 50 centimeters, you can see the moist soil underneath, and if you dig down, you won't need a water source, so you can get water.
"Strange? Before the depth of the trap, why is it dry? Liu Mulei frowned slightly, looking at the location of the trap before.
The difference between the two is that they are separated by a ditch, why is the terrain so different.
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Mulei gave up this idea and turned around and walked towards the courtyard.
I couldn't help but smile when I saw those little ones lying in the yard with their eyes closed, rolling on the dirt floor.
When they saw that there was nothing wrong with them, they picked up the thatch outside the courtyard and strode towards the fishpond, putting it in the dirt.
Constantly smearing, bundles of woven thatch, one side covered with heavy soil.
Once they are ready, they are placed on the edge of the green grass cut in the fish pond and allowed to dry by the sun.
After Liu Mulei looked at it, he picked up the shovel and sickle again, and cleaned the grass again not far above the fish pond.
Fortunately, the tools are sharp enough, and no matter how the grass roots cross under the dirt, the shovel can cut them with a slight force.
More than two hours later.
With a length and width of five or six hundred meters and a depth of nearly one meter, an incomparably huge crater appeared in front of me.
When I was digging, I found that there was a spring that was bubbling out in streams.
Liu Mulei was overjoyed when he saw this, and he didn't want to connect to the ditch, but after thinking about it, he still honestly went to open the ditch.
After all, this spring is too small, how can it be as stable as the huge river on the other side of the mountain, plus the sharpness of the shovel.
Presumably, it will take about three hours at most to be able to excavate, so there is no need to save.
After looking at the sky, about seven or eight o'clock, on the wasteland on the edge of the meadow, digging a large bundle of wild vegetables, went back.
"Fortunately, there are a lot of species here, and when the water source is connected, I don't know if there will be any other harvest."
Liu Mulei thought as he walked, the river water was flowing, and some aquatic creatures were also flowing.
"It's a pity that when there are more aquatic life in the pond, we will leave." Liu Mulei regretted it.
After all, if you want the species to enter the pond, it will take a lot of time, and you will be ready to go out by then.
After eating breakfast and feeding the little ones, Liu Mulei put the little ones back into the kitchen.
The roof will be demolished in a while, and these little guys are in the yard, but it is very unsafe.
After finding the stairs, Liu Mulei began to clean the roof with a target, and today he has to make the kitchen and the roof of the thatched house, which is not a small project.
The sun hung high, and the sweat kept falling as if it didn't cost money, before, when cutting trees in the mountains and forests.
You can also use the shade of the trees to shelter you, but now when you renovate the roof, there is no place to hide!
Fortunately, when Liu Mulei felt that something was wrong, he hurriedly knitted an ugly hat, otherwise he would not be able to stand the vicious sun.
After a hurried meal, he put the little ones in the place where the thatch was stacked, and now the roof was lifted.
In addition, it is noon, and with the physique of these little guys, if they are exposed to the sun for more than ten minutes, I am afraid that they will die.
Removing the old beam and replacing it with a new one, there were several problems on the way, but fortunately these difficulties were overcome.
In the end, it is a piece of foreshadowing, but there is a hammer, these are not a problem, just fix them with wooden nails.
The double-ended wooden nails do not have that technology, and the single-sided wooden nails Liu Mulei is still very easy, and he can get them out casually.
But even so, I was busy until the evening to lay all the three roofs, and the rest of the matter was easy.
Liu Mulei returned to the edge of the fish pond and turned over all the thatch that was covered with mud and coated it with fresh soil again.
Bundles were dragged towards the yard, and the vines had left enough length when the thatch had been tied before.
In this way, when they are placed on the roof, the vines are tied to the top of the girders or bedding, and they become very strong.
The bark that was peeled off last night was spread on top of it piece by piece, with the presence of clay stickiness and the uneven surface of the bark.
It's sticky enough to stick to each other, but it's not very sticky, and it will fall off if it's exposed to the sun for a few days and hours.
But if this bark weren't there, it would have leaked everywhere on a rainy day.
Therefore, Liu Mulei didn't go to dinner, endured the taste of stomach rumbling, and began to do the last step.
Weave the top thatch to shade the clay between the bark, so you don't have to worry about anything.
Pieces of woven thatch appeared in Liu Mulei's hands, and in less than an hour, the piles of thatch were gone.
Only the thatched blocks remained, and they did not linger long, carrying them up the stairs to the roof.
After fixing them all step by step, I looked at the cluttered yard but the clean and neat roof.
Liu Mulei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, they are all estimated by the maximum amount, otherwise it would have been a mistake." ”
Looking at the moon in the middle of the sky and his hungry stomach, he went back to the kitchen and started to make dinner.
With the fish soup in the pot, Liu Mulei came to the thatched pile to check the situation of the little guys.
It was very unfortunate that another one died, the original five little guys, but in one day, there were only two left.
Liu Mulei felt helpless, stretched out his hand to tease the remaining two, and walked quickly towards the kitchen with them in his arms.
"I hope you will live until tomorrow." Seeing that they still didn't open their eyes, they didn't have much hope.
It's still fish soup, but add a little wild herbs to the fish soup to help them digest!
Seeing how they eat with relish, I have more hope that they can survive.
