Chapter 12 Building a Bamboo Building
At night, in the cave, Liu Xiu roasted rabbit meat with her bare buttocks, and the only pair of boxer shorts, because they were used to wrap charcoal in the daytime, filtered brine solution, and could not be worn after cleaning, and were baked by the fire.
Anyway, there is no one in this place, and Liu Xiu, who is naked, does not feel ashamed.
At this time, his attention was completely attracted by the roast rabbit meat on the fire, the salted rabbit meat was roasted to a golden brown, the fat dripping in the fire and snorting to the nose, and then smeared with smashed wild onions and wild pepper leaves to taste, the fragrance was simply amazing.
Anyway, looking at the roast rabbit meat, the saliva in Liu Xiu's mouth never stopped secreting.
After the rabbit meat is roasted, Liu Xiu mixed a small bowl of houttuynia again, ate a few mouthfuls of fragrant rabbit meat and then ate a mouthful of houttuynia to relieve greasyness, which is like a fairy day for Liu Xiu, who has eaten lackluster food for so long.
With salt to taste, Liu Xiu's mouth was full of oil, and she almost didn't swallow her tongue.
Finally ate the salt, the wonderful food stimulated the taste buds, and Liu Xiu almost didn't shed tears.
His body was replenished with salt, and he could clearly feel that the weakness was slowly subsiding, and in two days at most, his body would return to its normal state.
Because there was no other place to live, although Liu Xiu was extremely jealous and afraid of the python in the lake, he had to continue to live in the cave for the time being.
The plan to move out of here must be carried out, or the python may swallow itself when the interest comes.
At night, Liu Xiu sat at the mouth of the cave, looking at the calm lake by the hazy moonlight, his expression was very complicated, he had been here for so long, and he had seen the giant python in the lake once during the day yesterday, and it never appeared again after a glimpse.
Does it usually live in a lake and can't come out?
In Liu Xiu's cognition, although the snake can be regarded as an amphibian, it lives on land most of the time, but for so long, Liu Xiu has never seen traces of python activity around.
This is somewhat counterintuitive.
Of course, it is a good thing for Liu Xiu that the python does not leave the lake, but not knowing where the python is makes Liu Xiu's heart even more jealous, after all, the threat visible to the naked eye and the threat hidden in the dark are completely different things.
"Judging from the head of that giant python, its body must be at least a few tens of meters, right? Its existence is only the tip of the iceberg of this world, and God knows how terrifying the most powerful creatures in this world are......"
With a flickering mind, Liu Xiu repeatedly warned himself to be steady, don't die, there is still such a terrible python in the lake, and the ghost knows what kind of terrible things are in the endless primeval forest.
There was nothing to say all night, because he was always vigilant against the giant python in the lake, Liu Xiu didn't sleep well all night, and his mental state was not good, but after two rounds of self-cultivation, he became energetic.
After a hearty meal, he sharpened his somewhat broken stone axe and set off breathing in the fresh morning air, and then he had to build himself a bamboo house to plan to move out of here.
Building a bamboo house is not an easy task, especially in the absence of tools, Liu Xiu estimates that it will take more than a month, because he has to spend a lot of time looking for food because of the loss of fish in the lake, which is a food source, and this period has to be greatly extended.
"At the moment I can only hunt under the trap, although there are many hares and pheasants on the plains, but gradually it is becoming more and more difficult to catch the prey, it seems that there are more traps, however, as time goes by, my physique is steadily improving, and it will not be difficult to hunt with bare hands in the future......
When he walked to the bamboo forest, Liu Xiu muttered to himself, his eyes crossed the group of sika deer in the distance and subconsciously licked his lips, with his own strength, wielding a bamboo pole is estimated to be able to directly smash the sika deer, right?
Don't be in a hurry, don't be impulsive for the time being, so as not to scare this group of sika deer away, after being completely sure, it is best to capture a few live captives and provide food for themselves for a long time.
It seems that the bellies of several sika deer are gradually getting bigger......
On this day, Liu Xiu's plan for himself was to cut down bamboo with a stone axe, cut down as much as possible to prepare for building a bamboo house, and do nothing else.
He doesn't use this kind of thing at all, it's not sharp, it's not strong, it wields it lightly with Liu Xiu's strength, and he doesn't dare to use it vigorously, and the stone axe can easily be cracked and broken, which greatly limits his efficiency in cutting bamboo.
Obviously has enough strength but can't use it at will, Liu Xiu is quite speechless.
If there is a sharp metal axe, he estimates that his efficiency in building a bamboo house will be increased tenfold, and he can only take his time at present, but fortunately, the last thing he lacks now is time.
The premise is that the python in the lake does not talk to him......
Stone axes cut bamboo, an average of one every half an hour, and at the end of this day, Liu Xiu only cut down twenty or thirty trees from morning to sunset, which was far from his requirements.
Because of a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, Liu Xiu didn't think about perfunctory things when he planned to build a bamboo house, he had to be like a normal house, and it was best to have more than three rooms, so he could simply build two floors......
As a result, it would take an estimated two or three days just to cut down the bamboo.
Liu Xiu really spent three days cutting down bamboo, and he cut more than 100 old bamboos with the thickness of the bowl, which was almost enough.
The process is very boring, but he is a little obsessive-compulsive, and he is not exhausted if he does not achieve his goal, so he does not feel bored.
The bamboo is enough, but it can't be built directly, it needs to be processed, the bamboo is cut to the desired length, and the bamboo is broken to get the desired strip for binding......
These two jobs alone took Liu Xiu a full five days, and the tools were not in hand, obviously with his physical fitness, it took so long to do half a day's work.
After the preparations were completed, Liu Xiu began to build a bamboo house, spent a day leveling a vacant land on the mountain bag, and spent two days digging pits, digging dozens of pits more than one meter deep, which is used to set up bamboo as the foundation for the support of the bamboo house.
He envisioned that the bamboo house has two floors, three rooms on the lower floor, two rooms on the upper floor, and an area of one room, and he plans to make a terrace, and when the time comes, he will get a table and a chair, drink tea on the terrace, enjoy the lake and mountains, and think about it.
With expectations in his heart, Liu Xiu is full of energy.
Liu Xiu of the bamboo building is going to make it into a stilted building, and the lower floor is about one meter from the ground, which can effectively prevent snakes, rats, insects and ants and other animals from running into the house.
The old bamboos of about seven or eight meters are set up in the dug pit and fixed, and the bamboos are horizontally tied to the erected bamboo with strips to build the house frame......
Little by little, as time passed, Liu Xiu's bamboo building was improving little by little.
The salt crisis was solved, there was no need for him to leave here in a hurry to explore the outside, some time was to carefully carve his house, there was no nail or anything like that to reinforce it, he only tied it with strips, and with his strength it was enough to make the bamboo house structure strong and solid.
The bamboo house is improving little by little, time is passing little by little, and Liu Xiu's physique is also growing steadily when he practices health cultivation skills every day, and slowly, Liu Xiu himself doesn't know where his limit is.
From the first day of planning to build a bamboo house, almost a month, Liu Xiu's bamboo house was mostly completed, that day he took the time to test his strength, a stone the size of a grinding plate, he could throw a distance of more than 30 meters effortlessly, and if he exploded with all his strength, he estimated that he could throw at least twice the distance!
He was not too surprised by this, with the practice of self-cultivation, his physical fitness grew almost without limit, and Liu Xiu didn't know what he would become in the future.
This is a good thing, with the growth of physique, it is easier to work, and his safety factor is also increasing, if he encounters the black wolf again, Liu Xiu feels that he can die with one punch!
It is worth mentioning that after the glimpse that day, Liu Xiu never saw the giant python in the lake again, which calmed his uneasy heart a little.
With the slight improvement of the bamboo building, Liu Xiu rarely returned to the cave, especially after the first room was completed, he simply moved directly to the bamboo building, so that he could save the time of rushing back and forth every day to devote himself to building the bamboo building.
Now Liu Xiu is not too worried about food, his physique has improved to his current state, it is not too difficult to hunt animals on the plains, a hundred meters apart, when he throws a fist-sized piece, whether it is a hare or a pheasant, if he hits, there is no chance of survival.
The days are getting better and better.
In another month, after Liu Xiu used the eighteenth stone axe, the bamboo building was completely completed.
It took more than twice as much time as expected, and of course, it took so long to overturn the ideas in his heart again and again.
Before he knew it, he had been in this world for about three months.
The perfect bamboo house is the best testimony of his coming to this world, the bamboo house is about eight meters high, the roof is broken into two halves of the bamboo cover, the bamboo inside is opened, two pieces of bamboo side by side side on the back, side by side and then covered with a piece of bamboo can perfectly solve the problem of rain leakage.
Bamboo building two floors, sitting south and facing north, facing the lake and the side of the lake can enjoy the lake and mountains, one meter high from the ground, there are three rooms, paved with tight bamboo pieces, carefully polish the burr and do not worry about stepping on it to hurt the soles of the feet, the wall is made of bamboo boards, it is inevitable that there will be gaps, there will definitely be wind leakage in winter, but now the weather is getting hotter and hotter, Liu Xiu does not have to worry about this problem for the time being.
I'm afraid that in winter, my physique has improved to the point where I don't soak in the cold and heat, right?
There are two rooms on the second floor, surrounded by an extended corridor, and the area of one room is made into a terrace......
Looking at the bamboo building located on the mountain bag, Liu Xiu became more and more satisfied, in this world, he finally has a house in the true sense of his own, especially this house is built by himself little by little, and that sense of accomplishment really makes him feel a lot of satisfaction in his heart.
"It wasn't easy for two months, but it was worth it, and then we started to build the furniture and other items, and then we planted flowers and plants around the house...... It's all beautiful."
By now, Liu Xiu is no longer satisfied with a simple bamboo building, he wants to build it into a mountain villa, anyway, he has time, take his time.
His plan is to make this place to his satisfaction and then ponder and explore the things outside, and by that time, his physique should have grown to the level of stepping into the jungle, right?
Don't be in a hurry, it's been so long, and it's not bad for a month.
Throwing a fist-sized stone hundreds of meters away, Liu Xiu said in his heart......
