After refueling, Wang Xiaotie was not interested in entering the village to check again, he always felt that he was a little too impulsive this time, and it was better to leave early now.

Getting into the driver's seat, Wang Xiaotie started the car and turned around and returned the same way, he didn't know that the obscene old man at the gas station looked at the direction Wang Xiaotie's car left, and showed a meaningful smile.

On the way home, Wang Xiaotie passed an abandoned quarry, parked the car on the side of the road, beckoned the eldest and second to get off the train, and began to look for smooth stones.

It is also an important material for the construction of adobe houses. Of course, it would be better if there were bricks.

The lowest floor of the adobe house, preferably made of bricks, half a meter is enough. Then put a layer of plastic sheeting on top to separate the adobe from the straw. This is important to protect the adobe house from alkali corrosion, especially near the sea.

Wang Xiaotie is not so troublesome, he just wants to lay a circle of flat stones on the bottom layer, and then level it with mud, and then use adobe to raise it, which is similar to those wooden pile foundations.

After the foundation was made, the next step was much simpler, Wang Xiaotie used a car to transport all the dried adobe to the vicinity of the trapper's hut, and then began to build the house.

The adobe he made was about 40 centimeters wide and 60 centimeters long, and the thickness was more than 30 centimeters thick in order to save time during the construction period. So it's very heavy to move.

However, there are also advantages, that is, stacking one piece, which is equivalent to using dozens of ordinary bricks! So the walls around the house are slowly taking shape with the naked eye.

Wang Xiaotie built the outer wall to a height of more than one meter, and then did not continue upward, because there was still a rather important thing to do, that is, to build a sleeping place.

Of course, it's not impossible to make a bed out of wood, but Wang Xiaotie doesn't want to do that. He is a northerner, and he is most familiar with the unique fire kang in the north.

The principle of the kang is quite simple, relying on the hot smoke produced by the firewood during cooking, passing under the hollow kang, you can smoke the fire kang made of adobe, and in the cold of winter, people sleep on it very warm and comfortable.

With a width of less than three meters, Wang Xiaotie actually built a fire kang with a width of two meters, so there was only a place of less than one meter in the house to walk back and forth, which was even more crowded.

The stove for cooking was built by Wang Xiaotie on the left side of the house, which was also made of adobe, and the wok was glued directly to the stove with mud, so that cooking could only be done here in the future, and the wok could no longer be moved by brushing the pot.

Wang Xiaotie has dug out a hole under the stove and next to the house, so that the smoke from the fire will enter the bottom of the fire kang along the hole, and then dig a hole from the other side of the house, and make a small chimney out of adobe, and the part of the fire kang will be completely completed.

The chimney must be upwards and as high as possible, so that the hot smoke from the stove will stay in the space under the kang for a longer time, but Wang Xiaotie did not do that, but built the chimney a little more finely, which will have the same effect. (If someone else lives nearby, don't try to do it, you'll get beaten up!) ）

Half a month has passed, and the temperature is getting colder and colder, and even if the fire is lit at night in the trapper's hut, it still makes people shiver.

And Wang Xiaotie finally built all the exterior walls, and all that remained was the capping.

In Wang Xiaotie's cognition, most of the roofs he knows are inverted V-shapes, and the reason why they all build roofs like this must be a mystery.

However, building such a roof is not ordinary. To make that shape, you had to raise the sides of the house with adobe, and then find a strong main beam and place it on top. What I felt most about it was that the main beam had to be more than five meters long, the same length as the house he was building.

In the forest, there are many trees that are five meters high, but Wang Xiaotie understands that he has no way to get the five-meter-long main beam directly on the roof, which is not something that can be done by one person.

After weighing left and right, Wang Xiaotie had no choice but to give up the normal roof structure and plan to build a slope-style roof.

The wall to the south was heightened, and then the wood of about three meters was dragged to the roof with a rope, and fixed one by one, so that under the tight arrangement, there was no need for too thick wood, and Wang Xiaotie could easily complete it, of course, this was also indispensable to the help of his daughters, who only needed them to tie the rope underneath.

A large tarp was then placed over the wood, and then another layer of adobe was added to the tarp, and all the gaps were smoothed out with mud, and the main body of the hut was officially completed.

The roof of the hut is a high front and low back, slightly inclined downward style, the direction of the sun is about 40 cm higher than the back, and the rainwater will flow down the slope when it hits it, which greatly improves the service life of the roof.

On the left side of the house is a stove, and on the right side is a chimney more than two meters high.

Directly in front of the house, Wang Xiaotie reserved a door and a window to ensure that there was enough light during the day.

But the key question is, where to get windows and doors?

Wang Xiaotie immediately thought of the obscene beggar old man he met at the gas station some time ago, but he was instantly denied by himself!

Thinking of the experience of that day, Wang Xiaotie always had an uneasy feeling in his heart, as if the old man was a flood beast, and the farther away the better.

Wang Xiaotie trusted his instincts very much, so he didn't plan to go to that small village again. Then the only way to go is to go to a small town a few hundred miles away, after all, the windows and doors have to be bought, and the landlord's stock of grain has been exhausted.

Today is a good day to move, Wang Xiaotie finally took his family from the gloomy beast hunter's hut to the adobe house he built with his own hands.

The windows are tightly sealed by Wang Xiaotie with white plastic sheets, although they are not as bright as the glass, but the sunlight can also penetrate into the house during the day. As for the place where the door is, like the trapper's hut, it is covered with a tarp to ward off the cold of the night.

The most important thing is the existence of the ondol, which makes Wang Xiaotie's family feel what happiness is. Before going to bed at night, fill the wok with water, then stuff wood under the stove, and sleep very warmly all night, even the sleeping bag can be dispensed with, sleeping in the futon brought with you is more comfortable than sleeping in the sleeping bag.

However, the doors and windows must still be in order, otherwise a thin sheet of plastic paper will not be able to stop any wild beast attack, nor will it be able to stop the real raging storm. It's not winter yet, and it's just that cold. If winter really comes, it would be whimsical to rely on only a piece of plastic paper to survive the winter!
