Chapter 69: Doing as the Locals Follow

Zhong Xuyao took out a notepad and calculated the size and quantity of materials needed.

Although the empty corridor she made this time was simple, it was quite numerous, and it took 12 cylindrical sticks for load-bearing alone. And that's just a small part of it.

The appearance of the empty corridor is not the common four-sided pavilion, but adopts the shape of the intermediary. There is a herringbone roof above, and every 3 meters, there will be a load-bearing column.

In this way, they can be continuously lengthened, unlike gazebos that are limited by size.

As Zhong Xuyao set up, the surprise in Yi Xiu's eyes became more and more obvious. He never imagined that she could build a building no less than a cave with just a few wooden strips.

Yes, no less than a cave, as long as the empty corridor is surrounded by animal skins, he can be sure that it will definitely be able to live in people. Moreover, once the hides are pulled apart, such a building is like a tree sprouting, far better than the unventilated environment of a cave. Even when it rains, the water is diverted to another place through the bamboo placed on the roof.

Yes, on the roof of the empty corridor, Zhong Xuyao uses bamboo.

Because there are no tiles, she simply uses bamboo. Semi-circular bamboos and tiles have a similar effect. Buckle the bamboo cut in half to ensure that the rainwater does not leak down. Then put a semi-circular bamboo under the eaves as a drain, and everything is done.

"How's it going, Ishio? Is it good-looking? Zhong Xuyao moved the model in front of him, his eyes full of excitement.

The model she made this time was almost the fastest she had ever made, and, unlike before, the previous models were made with glue and nails. Once it's done, there's no way to remove it. This time, the model uses mortise and tenon joints. Even if it is dismantled, it can be put back together.

"It's incredible." Ishu carefully touched the model, for fear of breaking it.

Zhong Xuyao was amused by his cautious movements: "Don't worry, as long as you don't break it, there will be no problem." ”

Yi Xiu scratched his head embarrassedly, "Xiaoxiao, are you going to do this?" ”

"yes. You can help me see if there are any problems, if I will touch your taboo or something. Zhong Xuyao asked.

When she is away from home, these are the things she worries about the most. If you accidentally commit it, you can only consider yourself unlucky.

Yi Xiu smiled: "There are no taboos, and even if there is, it is for orcs." You really don't have to be so careful. ”

"That's not it, there is a saying, it's called following the customs." Zhong Xuyao lay on the table, looking at the empty corridor he had completed, his eyes full of satisfaction. She held a pen and jotted down the materials she needed in her notepad.

"Tiny." Ishu pursed his lips slightly, with some hesitation in his eyes.

"Huh? What's wrong? Zhong Xuyao stared at the notebook and said casually.

"If animal skins are added around this empty corridor, can it replace the cave?" Ishi

"Yes, but it's all made of wood and animal skin, and it can't stop the beast's attack." Zhong Xuyao

"Can it be reinforced?" Ishi

"Yes, but, with your ability, no matter how strong you are, you can't stop it." Zhong Xuyao said with some regret.

Yi Xiu suddenly felt like he couldn't cry or laugh, "We are not saboteurs, how can we destroy our own home." With our ability, cutting stones is also simple. It's not like you can't live in a cave. ”

"You mean, you want to build this kind of house?" Zhong Xuyao took a few wooden boards and pasted them around the empty corridor: "Do this?" ”
