048 Tunnel

The sky was dark, the thunder did not stop, and on the top of a hill under the rain curtain, the busy people began to make a helpless and difficult life again.

Heavy rain has been falling for five days in a row, with only a brief two or three hours of drizzle, most of the time moderate rainfall of the current kind.

The rainwater that gathers causes the river to rise, creating a turbulent torrent from the distant mountain stream, and some of the low-lying areas of the mountain are covered by water, while some of the lower parts of the mountain are turned into a swamp.

Although Zhang Han and Zhang Bin both proposed to suspend work because of the rainstorm, Zhang Xiangyang still insisted on digging a tunnel for evacuation.

Carrying an overturned stone to the door, Zhang Han sighed and turned to look at the dirt pit at the edge of the room.

"It's been raining for five days, we have to be careful about our food now, how good it is to save some physical strength, we have to do this kind of, we just dug one and a half meters in five days, don't your hands hurt?"

Now the main force digging the pit is Zhang Xiangyang, and the rest of the people were injured while digging the pit.

At the feet of the people is a mountain, not a dirt mountain, the top layer here is indeed some soil, but down there are stones!

Cutting a hole in a stone without iron tools is no small task.

Throwing with stones and pouring water with fire is not a simple method, but it is extremely laborious to do, and blood blisters soon grind out on your hands.

Zhang Xiangyang squatted in a stone pit more than one and a half meters deep, while using a stone chisel to dig the stones below, and said with a smile: "Anyway, idle is idle, and the soil below is not so difficult to excavate, I feel that I have now mastered the skills of stonemasonry, and I am becoming more and more proficient." ”

Wu Sang came in from outside, put the wide leaves by the door and pressed them, and walked in and said, "It should be able to stop tomorrow, but now that most of the area outside is flooded, everything that was planned is all messed up." ”

Ling Ling sat on the edge of the pit and said with a smile: "This world is not friendly to us, this kind of thing is normal~ We have made up a lot of cages in the past few days, just waiting for the rain to stop and show our skills!" ”

Wu Sang walked to the edge of the pit and said to Zhang Xiangyang, who was still beating and beating below: "Xiangyang, do you want to rest?" ”

"No, it's just a workout, there's nothing to do when you're idle, you'll be done with everything, you can only sleep when you go up, and I can't sleep now."

Everyone was ready, and five days was enough time to recover from some injuries, such as blisters on their hands.

The food can be eaten for a day under careful budgeting, but now it has been changed to two meals a day, and the old turtle has also been killed and boiled into soup to worship the five internal organs temple of everyone.

Zhang Xiangyang quickly broke another layer of stones, and placed a handful of gravel on the edge of the soil pit.

Lingling looked at it and found a few pieces that could be used, these pieces were sharp and light, and they could be made into knives when sharpened.

There are also some stones that can also be used, such as the more rounded stones, which can be used as marbles, and Lingling is now trying to find materials to make a slingshot, which must be preserved.

Some stones can also be used as building materials, which can be used to press things, and most things can be used anyway, and there is no garbage.

The stones placed on the outside of the house, the people planned to make a mushroom hut, which was specially used to cultivate mushrooms.

The idea was brought about by the grumbling of the people in the house when they were disturbed by the humid air on a rainy day and felt that their clothes were about to mold and grow mushrooms.

With experience in digging a pit, it is not impractical to cultivate fungi by digging a small pit outside and then building a suitable area with stones and earth to maintain the temperature.

Su Xi, who unfortunately died, is an expert in this area, and if she is here, the problem of eating for everyone can be solved at least half.

Su Xi's specialty is garden cultivation, plant identification and transplantation, which are all areas she is good at, and she can easily find edible plants and cultivate them.

This kind of ability is much stronger than any hunting ability, but it is uncomfortable when she dies.

There are also industrial experts, if Zhang Liye is here, everyone's situation will be much better.

As a forest ranger, An Ran also knows a little, and he can be regarded as a weakened version of Su Xi in terms of plants.

Zhang Han and Zhang Bin are a weakened version of Zhang Liye, but in terms of calculation and design, Zhang Liye is not as good as these two brothers.

Everyone has their own value, just obvious and inconspicuous differences, in the corresponding place, everyone has incomparable flashes!

An Ran had been lying for five days, and at this time, looking at the faint white light coming out of the hole, he sighed and said, "I hope tomorrow will be a good day for the sun, and I will dry my clothes and shop." ”

Everyone is looking forward to tomorrow's weather, and this kind of rainy day for many days is very unfriendly to humans.

Zhang Bin quickly said: "I'll make a drying rack with materials later, so that it is convenient to dry animal skins and food in the future." ”

Zhang Bin persuaded Zhang Xiangyang several times during this period, but as the proposer of the suggestion, he actually did not have the courage to implement this suggestion.

Mobilizing the rest of the people to do this kind of potentially useless thing has a lot of impact, and it delays a lot of things.

Letting others do things and being responsible for others has always been something that Zhang Bin is not good at.

However, after Zhang Xiangyang's several firm refusals, Zhang Bin no longer thought about persuasion, but calmed down to help Zhang Xiangyang complete the plan more effortlessly.

Zhang Bin went out to see a few times, inspected the location where Zhang Xiangyang dug the tunnel and the distance between the entire cliff, and sat under the jujube tree to calculate various data.

Although he only walked around Changzhu Mountain, Zhang Bin, who has a strong memory, also knows the terrain on the four sides of this Changzhu Mountain, and uses his talents to draw the most labor-saving and safest passage.

Not only that, Zhang Bin designed a grinding device with a combination of pulleys and levers, which can be quickly assembled as long as there are materials, and these bedridden Enron can also do some things within their ability, freeing up excess labor to do other more complex things.

This device can be used to lift some stones, or it can be used to process some grains and beat them into a paste.

Zhang Xiangyang continued the things in his hands, rested for a while when his arm was tired, and then continued, it is not tomorrow when you need to work hard, today can already start.

For every centimeter deep in the tunnel, Zhang Xiangyang's sense of security is one centimeter more.

If you don't want the nightmare to become a reality, then you should try to avoid it.

Zhang Xiangyang knocked again and again, he couldn't kill the ape monster now, so he could only do his best to carve out a safe passage for everyone.
