Chapter 115: Confirmed Looks
Liu Xiu carried the newly made long knife to the bamboo forest and found an old bamboo to experiment, not to mention that it was quite easy to use.
The old bamboo in the mountains is extremely tough because of the growth years, and ordinary people have to waste the nose of the old cow with an axe, and they can't cut a few axes and they can't use it, but now, Liu Xiu only needs a knife to cut off the old bamboo, especially the way to watch the knife made up by watching the white stone tower brain, whether it is an oblique chop or a horizontal chop, it can be cut in two, and the incision is smooth without the slightest burr!
"It's okay now, even the saw can be saved," touched the smooth place where the old bamboo was broken, and Liu Xiu said secretly in his heart.
With this knife in hand, you can save a lot of time, and you can even say that the few days of time wasted on forging the knife before are insignificant.
Let's get to work.
Liu Xiu held a knife and moved in the bamboo forest, the afterimage of the road flickered, and the edge was faint where he passed, and after a while, the old bamboos fell down in a hurry.
The knife is very handy, with a special chopping method, the blade of the knife cuts through the air almost silently, and Liu Xiu's speed is extremely fast, in one sentence, it is broken before he feels that he swings the knife!
If he slashed at an ordinary person, it would take a while for that person to find out that he was actually dead......
With the tools at hand, Liu Xiu's efficiency in chopping bamboo soared, and the work that was originally expected to take ten days was completed in a short time.
Finally, he put away his knife and looked behind him, the breeze blew, and in the sound of rattling, the old bamboos fell down in pieces.
"Well, the bamboo is not cut next to each other, and it does not affect the integrity of the bamboo forest"
Looking at the fruits of his labor, Liu Xiu nodded, and then he had to transport these cut bamboos to the lake.
There are more than a thousand trees, Liu Xiu estimated that no matter how fast he felt, it would take a lot of time to go back and forth, and after a little groaning, Liu Xiu decided to find a helper.
The big tiger can't run away from this labor, by the way, there are also monkeys, if they help, it will be done quickly!
So, Liu Xiu didn't rush to move the bamboo, anyway, it was almost dark, and he returned to the bamboo building to stew a few cans of potions, and with this thing, he was not afraid that they would not help, of course, Liu Xiu did not forget Xiaobai, although it was estimated that it would not be able to help much, but for the sake of guarding the crops for himself, he could not favor one over the other.
As Liu Xiu expected, the next day, under the temptation of the potion, the big tiger and the monkey king did not hesitate at all, and came to help, especially the monkey king, who also brought his monkey monkey grandson......
As a result, in one morning, all the bamboos cut by Liu Xiu were moved to the corresponding location by the lake.
However, what puzzled Liu Xiu was that the big tigers and monkeys went back and forth to the lake and the bamboo forest to carry bamboo, and the neighbors in the lake did not come out to interfere, not even take a look.
This made Liu Xiu puzzled, when did the neighbor be so generous?
What puzzled him even more was that the big tigers and monkeys carried bamboo to the lake without the slightest hesitation, knowing that they did not dare to approach the lake at the beginning.
Could it be that the big tigers and monkeys were already mingling with their neighbors before I knew it? But that's not right, the tiger monkeys still don't dare to approach the lake at other times.
Tsk, incomprehensible, it seems that the neighbors agreed to build the water pavilion by themselves and find a helper.
"Huh? It's not impossible, but why is that, could it be that the neighbors also want me to fix the water pavilion? But I can't enjoy its size, just for the sake of good looks? ”
I can't figure it out, Liu Xiu didn't bother too much, after all, it was a good thing that the neighbors didn't come out to stop it, but he pressed this doubt in his heart, this was already the fourth thing in Liu Xiu's heart about the neighbor's incomprehension.
The first is how it helped itself get out of trouble on the white stone pagoda, the second is why it withered the 'heartbeat' in its hands for no reason, the third is that it did not prevent outsiders from coming, and the fourth is that he did not prevent the monkeys and tigers from carrying bamboo to the lake......
Hey, this neighbor was fine at first, staying in the lake and being safe with himself, but now he is getting more and more incomprehensible, and his mind is like a girl who is not easy to figure out, and the ghost knows what will happen in the future.
Shaking his head, Liu Xiu didn't think about it so much, the big tigers and monkeys left, he looked at the mountains of bamboo by the lake, and then began to build the water pavilion in earnest.
Holding the long knife in his hand, he picked it gently, a leafy old bamboo flew up, Liu Xiu's wrist flipped and waved the knife, and in the flashing light of the knife, the branches and leaves on a bamboo were not only separated, but also split into the desired length by Liu Xiu, and the whole process took less than five seconds!
A bamboo tree flew in front of its eyes with a knife provocation, waved the knife, and that's it.
Next, Liu Xiu kept picking up the bamboos, wielding a knife to remove the branches and leaves, and cutting them into the desired length.
For each old bamboo, he will leave the toughest part of the tenacity section ten meters long, which is used for piling, and the rest of the part is one and a half meters long, which is used to pave the aisle.
The bamboo used for piling was picked up and flown aside by him, and the short knots used to pave the aisle were split in half when he cut them off and flew into a pile on one side.
In this way, time passed quietly, and at the end of the day, the preliminary treatment of the felled bamboo was completed, and the preliminary preparation work can be said to be one-third complete.
Satisfied with his results, at night, Liu Xiu lit a fire, burned those useless branches and leaves, piled up there and let them rot on their own, the ghost knows that the year of the monkey will go, and the ashes burned can also be used to fertilize the land, killing two birds with one stone.
The next day, Liu Xiu was still making preliminary preparations, mainly cutting the strips, which were mainly used to tie up the aisle beams and the like, and it was still the long knife, and no other tools were used.
As he continued to use the knife on the bamboo, the knife became more and more handy in Liu Xiu's hands, like the fingers of his arm were like an extension of his arm, and he could easily transform the bamboo into what he wanted.
This state of affairs could only be described in one word...... Man and knife in one?
It took one day to preliminarily process the bamboo, another day to cut the strips, and then Liu Xiu spent another day making nails.
The nail is not an iron nail, but a bamboo nail made of old bamboo, a tough old bamboo obliquely cut, one end and one knife flattened, and then the knife brush brush will be divided into the size of the baby's little finger, and the bamboo nails are obtained.
It is worth mentioning that Liu Xiu swung a knife to split bamboo nails, and a section of old bamboo that was not long never landed, and he only completed the job with a one-handed knife, and the use of knives has reached a considerable height.
Thanks to his strong physique, keen senses and attention to detail, he estimated that it would be impossible for ordinary people to achieve this step without ten or eight years of practice, and it only took him a few days......
Now that the preliminary work is done, the next step is to start building the water pavilion.
First of all, starting from the shore of the lake, Liu Xiu grabbed a ten-meter-long bamboo stake and inserted it into the bottom of the lake with great effort, which was extremely stable.
The bamboo stakes are placed side by side, about one meter four apart, and five meters away from the next bamboo stake.
In this way, less than half a day, starting from the shore of the lake, extending to the lotus bushes, a bamboo pile set up on the surface of the lake in pairs and twos, the highest part of the exposed water is four or five meters, and the short one is one or two meters, this is no way, many places at the bottom of the lake are deep in the rock layer, and the bamboo pile is inserted and exploded, don't want to insert it.
The old mistake was made, Liu Xiu used a knife to trim the bamboo stakes of different lengths, and finally all of them were exposed to a height of one meter above the water, which looked much more pleasing to the eye.
Next, he went to the bamboo forest to cut bamboo, which was used to make the corridor beams, each of which he selected very evenly, fifteen meters long, after getting to the lake, he tied them to the bamboo stakes with strips, Liu Xiu had great strength and tied them very firmly.
Liu Xiu tied two beams on the bamboo pile, the lower one was ten centimeters high from the water surface, and the upper one was tied to the top of the bamboo pile, so that there was a railing after the aisle ground was paved.
These jobs are tedious and boring to do, but Liu Xiu himself enjoys it, almost forgetting the passage of time, and the neighbors didn't come out to make trouble, this Liu Xiu wants to give it a good review.
Being able to walk freely on the water undoubtedly provides too much convenience for Liu Xiu to build a water pavilion, and if it is carried out on a bamboo raft, this construction period will not be extended by ten times......
Time slipped away day by day, and Liu Xiu's water pavilion was also improving little by little, and the aisle was paved with bamboo blocks split in half, tied tightly with strips, and then nailed a bamboo nail to make it extremely firm.
After the passage was completed, he began to build a small building, the small building has two floors, five rooms up and down, and he customarily left a terrace on the second floor, which is similar to the pattern of the small bamboo building on the hillside, the difference is only that Liu Xiu is handy with a knife and the bamboo building on the water is much more exquisite.
Then build a pavilion at the end of the aisle that extends from the small building, and then a small pier that extends beyond the lotus area from the aisle on the other side......
In the end, Liu Xiu tried his best to keep improving, and time passed day by day, and almost two months later, his water pavilion was completely completed.
From the shore of the lake, a nine-curved corridor corridor extends to the middle of the lotus, where is an elegant bamboo building, on the other side is a pavilion dozens of meters away, and on the other side is the wharf, on which a bamboo raft is tethered.
"It's comfortable to look at, move in early tomorrow morning, and live in the small building of the water pavilion tomorrow night" At night, Liu Xiu looked at the direction of the lake on the terrace of the bamboo building on the hillside, drank a sip of monkey wine, and said to himself.
The water pavilion created after two months of busy work fully met his expectations, not to mention the sense of achievement, mountains and lakes, living there is comfortable to think about.
Although the neighbor is spying on his progress every day, he doesn't come out to disturb, which is very good, and I don't care about what you scared me two months ago, and cross it out from the small notebook......
Thinking of the good mood of moving to the bamboo building tomorrow, Liu Xiu, who was slightly drunk, went back to the house to sleep.
It is estimated that it was because of happiness, and Liu Xiu got up a little earlier than usual the next day, and went out with the medicine he had boiled the night before to prepare to practice self-cultivation.
At this time, it was just a bright day, Liu Xiu came to the outside of the bamboo building, and suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he saw a black shadow in the water pavilion that he had not been able to live in after he had finished building, and suddenly his head was still a little confused, and he suddenly sobered up.
When he saw the black shadow, the black shadow also subconsciously looked at him.
The eyes are far away, and time seems to freeze.
Although the sky was still very dark, although the distance was a little far, Liu Xiu still saw the black shadow, but the other party seemed to be shrouded in a layer of dark mist, and he couldn't see the specifics clearly, vaguely about the slow figure of a woman, and the only thing he could see clearly was the other party's eyes, which were extraordinarily bright and beautiful.
Liu Xiu has never seen such a good-looking pair of eyes, black and white, watery, very clear, giving people an incomparably peaceful feeling.
In my mind, I suddenly came back and saw the fleeting black shadow at the hot spring a few months ago, overlapping two by two, and it was clearly the one in the small building!
Has she always lived in the mountains in a place I don't know, or did she happen to appear and run away from my water pavilion this time?
The sudden appearance of the black shadow, Liu Xiu's head was a little confused, he didn't react, he looked over there blankly, and forgot what he was going to do next.
On the other hand, after the black shadow saw Liu Xiu, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and then he ran away.
Liu Xiu suddenly reacted with a spirit.
Confirm the eyes, it's you!
"Wow, I've finally caught you after so long, don't run ......" Liu Xiu chased after him, and he didn't even practice his self-cultivation skills......
