【Chapter 208】Adobe House
Lifting the tarp at the door, Wang Xiaotie was the first to walk out of the beastcatcher's hut, and a new day began.
Last night was very quiet, this kind of quietness not only means that nothing happened, but more of a kind of inner relaxation when Wang Xiaotie returned to the wilderness life.
I don't know why, in this vast wilderness, Wang Xiaotie feels more relaxed and comfortable than in that bustling city.
The children were still sleeping, and although Alice had woken up the moment Wang Xiaotie got up, Wang Xiaotie let her stay in the shelter.
Holding the wok, Wang Xiaotie came to the river, he needed to clean the pot while the children were not getting up, and then make some simple breakfast before he could start today's work.
The river water is so cool in the morning! Wang Xiaotie washed his face and immediately felt refreshed.
Scooping out half a bucket of water with a clean bucket, Wang Xiaotie began to wash dishes by the river, because this river is the main source of water in the future, Wang Xiaotie does not plan to pollute it, and he must not do anything to kill chickens and take eggs.
During the washing, Wang Xiaotie unexpectedly found that there were a lot of fish in the river, which was a real surprise, but now was not the time to fish, he had to find a way to build a solid home here, not a dark shelter.
Lighting the firewood in the fire pit, Wang Xiaotie made a pot of rice porridge as a family breakfast. Wang Xiaotie also wanted to prepare a hearty breakfast, but the conditions were limited, and he had no way to leave here to get food at night, and a group of children became his biggest oil bottle.
Until a safe new home is built, you may have to rely on food bought from the supermarket to get by. So far, Wang Xiaotie has not yet had a definite plan for his house.
The rice porridge had been cooked, Wang Xiaotie took an iron basin and rice spoon, lifted the tarp on the door of the beastcatcher's hut, stood at the door, looked at the little girls who were still asleep, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Dangdangdang......"
The deafening percussion sound made all the children like a corpse, and they were instantly surprised! Boss Wang jumped up from the spot directly wrapped in a sleeping bag.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Thunder? Or is it an earthquake? "The big girl is like a zombie, jumping around in a small shelter, with a panicked face on her face.
"No thunder! There was no earthquake either! It's your dad who woke you up! What do you think? Isn't that unique? ”
"Dad! You're bored! What time is it? Don't you know that what women need most is enough sleep? ”
When Wang Xiaotie heard this, his nose was almost crooked! This little girl!
Without saying a word, she came directly to the big girl, put the murder weapon in her hand on the ground, and then pulled out her hands and put them directly on her little face, pinched it hard, and the soft skin that could be broken by the blow was immediately pinched and deformed by Wang Xiaotie's claws.
"Boss, do you need Dad to give you another massage? How to make your skin more elastic? ”
"It hurts~ It hurts~ Dad~ I was wrong! Let go of me~ah~~ It hurts! ”
Seeing the big girl pouting aggrievedly, covering her little face with both hands, and retracting into the corner, Wang Xiaotie clapped her hands with satisfaction, and picked up the two murder weapons from the ground again.
"Dangdangdang......"
After a slam knock, he looked at all the little girls around him and asked, "Who still has an opinion about your father?" You might as well say it now, I promise that she won't die! ”
Wang Xiaotie's soft voice immediately made the seven little girls put their hands on their faces at the same time, for fear that they would also be treated like the eldest sister.
"That's it! Crawled out of the sleeping bag, then came out to wash your hands and face, and eat! ”
Seeing that he had received the majesty he deserved, Wang Xiaotie hummed a little song and walked out of the shelter triumphantly.
Alice had climbed the tallest tree, and was wondering if there was danger around her.
"Alice, come down to dinner!"
"I don't need to! Eat it! Alice rejected Wang Xiaotie's proposal, she thought it felt good to stay in the tree, and for a cat that couldn't die, food was dispensable.
The little girls lined up and walked out of the shelter, Wang Xiaotie pointed to the warm water that had been mixed next to him and said, "Wash your face, absorb and eat!" After eating, let's all build a house together! ”
The little girls were very interested, and their father allowed them to participate in the activity of building a house, which only adults can participate in, which is simply amazing!
In fact, Wang Xiaotie is also helpless, if he only relies on himself, this house must not be built until the Year of the Monkey? Although the eldest girl and the second girl are only fifteen or sixteen years old, their height is about to catch up with Wang Xiaotie, which also objectively proves that foreign genes are indeed a little different.
Wait a minute? Isn't Lao Tzu their father? Looking at it this way, Lao Tzu seems to be a poor person who was exploited by the old king next door! I'll go~
Of course, Wang Xiaotie knows that all this is really unreasonable, but he is now their father, and he must find a way to do what his father should do. At this time, the cause and effect are not so important.
In Wang Xiaotie's plan, there are only two things that can be thought of for the time being.
One is to build a house out of wood, which will look very beautiful.
The other is to build a house with mud, although it is not pretty, but it will save time and effort compared to a wooden house.
There is wood here, and Wang Xiaotie also has a chainsaw, but if he wants to turn these towering trees into suitable wood, Wang Xiaotie really has no confidence.
Even if Wang Xiaotie can do it, making a wooden house, steel nails, hammers, and insulation boards are all essential things.
Looking at the money in his pocket, after thinking about it, Wang Xiaotie finally overturned the idea of building a wooden house. He was not an architect, nor was he a good carpenter. Building a beautiful house out of wood can be quite difficult.
But Wang Xiaotie knew that there was a kind of house that had been handed down in rural China, its name was earthen house, and the structure was made of adobe.
Wang Xiaotie's childhood memories are in the adobe house, and every year when his mother is in the mud house, Wang Xiaotie is a new force and the most important labor force.
The biggest advantage of adobe houses is that they are warm in winter and cool in summer. Thick adobe is the best barrier material. In the summer, the sun is not penetrating, and in the winter, the cold wind is not penetrating.
But in Huaxia, it is almost eliminated now! People have replaced them with brick houses, or high-rise buildings. Such ancient wisdom crystallization will slowly fade with the times, until one day, forever disappear in the long river of history.
