Chapter 2: Night is coming
There is a small bush of about 10 square meters on the edge of the woods, and many berries grow in it.
He picked a fruit the size of an apricot, fearing that it would be poisonous, so he took a small bite very carefully, and suddenly the corners of his mouth twitched, and his body also shook.
This overwhelming unreasonable sourness!
Tianwu, whose facial features were wrinkled, picked dozens of them with difficulty and threw them into the iron ring, on the one hand, he felt that it was a good baby, and on the other hand, he maliciously blessed those berries near the birthplace of the population at the beginning were poisonous.
To build a shack, you naturally have to cut down trees, and now it is impossible to find straw that can be used as bricks and tiles, and the effect of sheltering from the wind and rain after such a nest is covered is not expected at all, so the first spending direction of 100 copper coins has been obtained, that is, cloth.
He walked to the edge of the forest, stuck his heavy iron sword into the ground, took out his axe and began to chop the branches and leaves of a tree that was not too high, and threw all of them into the iron ring.
After all the branches and leaves on the three or four trees were cut off, the iron ring showed that it weighed 0.2 stones.
Their trunks were about the thickness of their necks, and Tian Wu quickly chopped them with an axe.
Tian Wu is a person who prepares for a rainy day.
A few years ago, he began to do targeted training on his body, preparing for better development after entering "The First City in the World", including but not limited to fitness, mountain climbing, hiking, fishing, and horseback riding, so his physical fitness is very good, but it's just good.
So now his strength is very sufficient, plus the two weapons he gave him are heavy and sharp, and the iron axe is quickly chopping, and the tree in front of him begins to shake.
Crash.
Soon it fell, and Tianwu cut the thinner trunk slowly and slowly cut it down 2 meters from the broken trunk of the tree.
In the same way, he concocted three two-meter-long trunks with cut off branches, put one in the iron ring, dragged two with both hands, and walked towards the river beach.
Start the first unloading.
Ten kilograms of branches and leaves were piled up in large pieces, and when he threw the three trunks aside, he gestured with his iron sword and began to dig holes in the ground.
Dig a little hole in the outline, loosen the soil below with a sword, then take a tree trunk, and insert it diagonally and forcefully, turning it down as you go, so that it will sink deeper and deeper into the earth.
After being inserted diagonally for half a meter, the trunk of the tree at an angle of about 60 degrees was firmly fixed.
Stepping on the ground and breaking it hard, it was very good, as steady as Mount Tai.
The three trunks of the tree are planted in an equilateral triangular position on the ground, and the other end is placed together, each of which is close to ten centimeters, and it is necessary to tie it up with something here for a while, further enhancing the stability of the structure.
Theoretically, buy some cloth to cover it, and the shack will be covered even if it is beautiful.
Unfortunately, building a dwelling in the wild is not so simple.
The function of the branches is to increase the wind and light shading of the shack, and it can also keep warm to a certain extent, which is the reason for collecting branches and leaves.
"Now there is a lack of rope, but fortunately there are a lot of vines and plants in the forest."
Chewing the berries in his mouth with difficulty to get used to the fruit that would be his new ration, Tian Wu returned to the forest with the corners of his mouth twitching.
"There won't be snakes."
With a panic and cautiously, he poked and poked in the vines with a long wooden stick, and watched the two small centipedes crawl and swish away.
It would be nice to chop down with an axe, pick the soaked vines out of wood to the ground, and fiddle around for a long time to make sure there were no snakes and other suspicious creatures inside.
The sun was already about to go down with a slanted angle, and at this time, Tianwu's shack had changed further.
The vines, which had been lying on the ground for several hours, had evaporated a lot, and two trunks of the tree were taken out and tied tightly together, making a total of three shacks, one side of which was reserved for the door, and the other two sides were evenly staggered from top to bottom.
The white linen cloth bought from the inside is wrapped around the shack twice and fastened, which is the "cloth wall", and the sun-dried branches and leaves are hung densely on the other two sides of the eight vines that serve as ropes to achieve the purpose of shielding.
Leave a side of linen cloth for the door, draw the shape of a curtain with a short sword, and roll up the curtain to fix it.
It's a pity that there is no hay thatch, otherwise under the neat pile, the windproof shading effect will be much better.
"Whew."
Wiping his sweaty forehead, Tianwu ran back with a few shaved branches and slightly slender trunks with his hands in a puffed up.
"It's getting dark, Daddy."
I am inexplicably panicked, and the dusk in the city does not bring any psychological pressure to people, but there is a sense of excitement and joy that you can play with your mother-in-law when it is getting dark.
However, in this wilderness, the nearest villages and towns may be hundreds of miles away, and the night here is terrifying.
The darkness is like an all-engulfing monster, engulfing the earth as the sunset fades little by little.
Puff puff!
Tian Wu exerted his spare strength, and the axe was fast, and the trunks of the trees were split one by one, and they were arranged to be about 1.4 to 1.5 meters long.
Putting the trunks side by side, the vines that had been prepared long ago tied them at both ends, and a simple little raft was formed, good fellow.
Of course, this thing isn't meant to float on water, it's to be padded underneath the butt.
With this kind of damp and cold ground, does he sleep directly on the ground when he sleeps at night?
I'm afraid that my legs and feet will be frozen out of the next day.
100 copper has been completely spent.
Buy cloth for 20 copper, a pile of dry thatch for mating 10 copper, a fishing rod for 60 copper, and a large wooden barrel for 10 copper.
The rods are used for fishing the next morning, the barrels are used for the fish, and the dry thatch is placed on the rafts, which are better than laying them on the ground, although the rafts have not been dried much.
I took advantage of the last bit of light to take a look at my residence, which was good.
Click!
The loud and crisp sound of the flint and steel spread out in the quiet night, I don't know how far, it was extremely harsh, Tianwu's heart trembled, and his lips were a little white.
"this black rumbling, will there be fierce beasts and poisonous insects or something rushing out to me?"
Although he was scared enough, the movements of his hands could not be stopped, but faster and faster, as long as the fire successfully rose, then the danger in the wild would be reduced, after all, wild beasts are afraid of fire.
The fire at night should be tantamount to a beast and poisonous insect that has never seen such a thing.
The branches and leaves that had been dried and piled up long ago crackled and burned, and they from the damp woods did not burn violently, but they were in the middle of it, and he might not be willing to get up and add firewood if they burned too quickly.
The moment the flames rose, Tian Wu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he was lying in the shack, and he poked his head out vigilantly to look around.
