Chapter 11: Besieging the Boar Family
The two of them happened to be tired of eating conch, so God sent the bread tree, but there were wild boars living under the bread tree, and it became particularly urgent to solve the problem of wild boars.
"I thought about a lot of ways, but I still felt that I could only use bamboo to make a door to block the hole\\, so that some small stones are stuffed between the two doors, and the third one is diagonally topped. What do you think? Miao Miao drew a diagram on the beach and explained her thoughts to Xiang Wen.
"Yes, this will make me embarrassed as a rough man." Xiang Wen sincerely admired.
"Come less, I'm a little older than you, and it's not strange that I know a little more than you."
"The wild boar is trapped inside, what should I do next? They always have to eat, do they want to starve to death? ”
"Feed them before the rescue team finds us. When we are rescued, we will open the door again. ”
"This can be there."
"The hole is not big, I think it will be enough to make two meters by two meters. Idle is idle anyway. Miao Miao smiled.
"Good. That's it. ”
So for the next ten days, the two of them cut grass and vines every morning for a while and put them on the beach to dry, and then hid the wild boar and cut the bamboo. Choose a tree with a diameter of about 15 centimeters and cut it down every day, and then deal with it a little after cutting: cut off the branches, leaves, and leaves, and then divide it into two meters in length, generally a bamboo is divided into three sections and two meters long, and then cut it into four pieces, and then pull it to the bread tree to hide.
Finally, ten days later, 120 pieces of bamboo were stacked in a small pile. That night, Miao Miao was in the cave weaving the grass that had dried these days into three strands of grass rope, each with a vine in it. There are two of them, one of which is about 20 meters long.
The next day, the two of them got up early in the morning, and at this moment, the sky had just turned white.
"You wait for the conch to cook more and bring it up, so you don't have to come down in the middle, and strive to make the bamboo door today." Miao Miao commanded while rolling the rope.
"Okay." Xiang Wen promised and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
"Hey, wait, take all these things out by the way, and you won't have to come back to get them later."
"You always have a point." Xiang Wen smiled and came back.
After giving birth to wolf smoke and eating, the two of them began to set off in the direction of the bread tree. When we got to the place where the bamboo was placed, the sun rose to about 20°. The two quietly put down their things and went to see the wild boar family. Sure enough, he was still sleeping soundly. The two of them tiptoed back to the place where the bamboo was placed and began to make bamboo doors.
The bamboo door adopts the rural cross-weaving method. Miao Miao spread twenty pieces of bamboo neatly on the ground, and then took a piece of bamboo in her hand and intertwined it to stuff the bamboo piece into it, and the second bamboo piece was stuffed one by one, the third, and the fourth...... A total of nineteen were stuffed horizontally. Such a bamboo door, Miao Miao and Xiang Wen made three. By this time, the sun was already overhead.
Suddenly, there was a humming sound, and the wild boar family got up. The two of them immediately pounced and covered the bamboo door on themselves, and they didn't dare to come out. After a while, the wild boar family swayed by, and the little wild boar arched the straw rope on the ground, but fortunately did not stay. Listening to the sound and waiting for the boar to go away, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief and got up.
"Let's go, hurry up and dig two trenches at the entrance of the cave, 15 centimeters apart. The depth of the ditch is also 15 cm. Miao Miao wanted to make preparations while the wild boar was out foraging. But her worries were unfounded, and the wild boars had not returned until they had dug the ditch. After waiting, he moved a pile of suitable stones and put them on both sides of the tree hole for later use, and then carried the straw rope and three bamboo doors to the back of the tree hole. Then the two of them hid aside and continued to wait.
"The sun is going down. It looked like we were going to sleep in the mountains at night. Miao Miao looked at the sky.
"Possibly, we can't do this until they're asleep. Fortunately, the moon should be quite bright tonight, and you can see that the moon is faintly coming out over there. ”
"Isn't it the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, and the moon is quite round."
"Probably so. Shh~"
It's the wild boar family that has returned to the nest. Apparently full of food and wanted to sleep, the family fell asleep not long after entering the tree hole.
The two of them waited and waited until the moon was almost in the middle of the sky before they began to move. Gently, gently, the first bamboo door was erected against the tree hole in the first ditch, and then covered with soil, and the feet were gently lifted and stepped on hard. Then put the second bamboo door in the second ditch, and suddenly Miao Miao didn't hold it steady, and the bamboo door snapped and leaned on the first bamboo door. The two of them were so frightened that they didn't dare to move, but fortunately the wild boar in the tree hole snorted twice and fell asleep again. The two of them took a deep breath and hurriedly continued to set up the second bamboo door, Xiang Wen supported him, Miao Miao hurriedly moved the stone and stuffed it between the two doors, and stuffed it to the height of his knees, so that the bamboo door could not fall down, and quickly covered the soil in the ditch and stepped on it tightly. The two men then moved the stones, and in a moment they were piled up to the height of one man. Then bury the third one, dig a ditch at a good distance to Wen, insert it diagonally into the ditch, cover it with soil, and then press a row of big stones over. After getting these, Miao Miao took out a rope and tied it up and down around the bamboo gate. It's finally done.
By this time, the moon had already set, and it was almost dawn. Because of nervousness, I didn't know that I was tired just now, but now it's all done, and the two of them leaned against the bread tree and fell asleep directly.
