The father cut a wooden stick thicker than the length of his thumb from the distance between the three pillars, and used the yellow thatched bushes cut by his son to weave a thatched fan, that is, a grass wall.

The method of weaving is: after the wooden stick is placed, take a handful of yellow thatch with the thickness of the thumb, place it in a cross shape with the wooden stick, put the root of the yellow thatch on the wooden stick horizontally, leave a finger length on it, and then tie a knot on the wooden stick with a handful of yellow thatch the size of a little thumb, and wrap the yellow thatch that was just placed horizontally on the wooden stick obliquely, and then use this method to wrap another handful of yellow thatch from the reverse side, so that it is continuously wound until the head of the wooden stick, so that a fan that is wound is called a partner. Do this to make a wall in each direction.

Then the two ends of the straw tie are tied to the post with straw.

If the pillar is a step high, the length of the yellow thatch is just right, use a build as a wall, if the pillar is higher, increase in turn, time and yellow thatch are enough, the more grass is the better, you can make it very thick, one to be strong, the other to be warm, but in an emergency, just make do with it, not to mention that they only have half a day's work, do these can only be simple.

After the straw tie of the three walls was done, it was time to make the front one, because to consider making the door, I made an extra pillar and made a separate straw tie door, which took a little time.

The walls on all four sides of the house are done, and the last thing to do is the roof.

Why do you want to make the middle two pillars high, in order to consider waterproofing, if it rains, the water can flow down from the height along the direction of the yellow thatch, generally as long as there is half a palm thick grass stick, when weaving the grass stick, the yellow thatch is placed evenly, leaving no visible gaps, even if it rains rain, the house will not leak, this thatched house is this magic.

The straw tie on the top is more complicated, that is, two straw tie on a stick should be left, and the two straw tie are in the shape of a herringbone. Once the herringbone straw tie is ready, hang it directly on the branches of the two highest pillars.

Do not finish these, but also pile a thick pile of yellow thatch on the herringbone grass tie, because the basic mountain on the top is the root of the grass, the gap between the grass and the grass is relatively large, plus the herringbone winding is easy to form a large gap, so the thick grass must be stacked to prevent water leakage.

There was enough time and plenty of hay, so my father piled a layer of hay on each side of the herringbone grass to make it more waterproof.

Then the father dug a drainage ditch along the side of the straw that hung down to the ground on all sides, and the autumn rain was not heavy, but it was not unguarded, and pressed the earth that had been dug up against the edge of the straw bed, and accompanied the grass to a foot high on the ground, so that the splash of the water that fell on the ground would not penetrate into the house.

After the thatched house wall is completed, only half of the work of repairing the house is completed.

The father told his son to dig a hole in the thatched hut with a hoe, and they were going to dig a hole half a man deep so that it would be warmer, and they dug a slope at the entrance of the house and slowly entered the house.

I don't know who invented this method, anyway, it has been handed down for thousands of years, as long as you spend the night in the wilderness, build a simple house in this shape, this is the simplest, the most time-saving and labor-saving, and the most practical house, which can be made up for a few days to live in, or to live permanently.

One person was digging with his butt up inside the house, and the other was hooking the excavated soil with a hoe to a distant place outside, and he was sweating profusely.

After digging the pit in the house, the sun was already in the west, and according to the custom in the mountains, it would soon be dark. By this time, the two young men who were chopping wood had returned, and a large pile of firewood had been piled up outside the thatched hut.

The father told one of his sons to make a fire and fetch water for cooking, and he and his two other sons cut down a large patch of grass in the vicinity and piled it in three piles around the hut, saying that it was to prevent wild animals.

As long as these piles of grass are lit, they will soon burn vigorously, but they will not burn for long.

Seeing that there was still a little time before dark after the sun went down, they hurried to chop some firewood and piled it on three piles of hay, which could burn longer after adding firewood. Fire in the wilderness is always the safest companion of man.

While doing this, ten dogs roamed around the neighborhood on guard, but none of them ran far.

It was finally dark, and all the work was done.

At this time, the thatched hut was already warm, the pot on the fire was boiling with cabbage stewed wild boar, and the aroma wafted out for a while, causing everyone's stomach to rumble, and everyone remembered that after going out in the morning, the water and rice had not entered, and they were already hungry, but they were too busy just now to remember to eat.

This time, they brought enough wild boar meat and two Chinese cabbages to eat for two days, if they could catch wild sheep in two days, these vegetables would be enough, if they could not catch them, they would need more time, and they would need to hunt themselves to fill their stomachs.

After dinner, it is a matter of arranging to stand guard.

When you are new to a place, your safety is unpredictable, and you must be energetic.

So they arranged a three-to-one standing guard ratio, the father was the first to sleep, and the three brothers stood the first shift.

They also divided the ten dogs, six dogs stood guard outside the hut, four dogs accompanied the owner in the hut, and at the same time put two steel drills into the fire to burn, and kept a few killing knives at hand, which could be picked up at any time if there was a problem.

The father had been asleep for half an hour, and the children were excitedly discussing the scenery on the road today, and then talking about whether the mother and the full sister had eaten and whether the house was safe, when they suddenly heard the dog standing guard outside barking in a low voice.

The eldest son hurriedly picked up a red-hot steel drill with one hand, and grabbed a burning firewood with the other, the second son took a step closer to wake up his sleeping father, and the third son rushed out with a knife in his hand and lifted the grass tie, and then everyone and the dog in the hut came out and lit three piles of hay.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you are startled when you see it, and more than a dozen pairs of green eyes are looking directly at them.

Seeing that they were lighting the fire, the wolves only took a few steps back, and they were only a dozen steps away, and if the dog outside the hut hadn't called the police just now, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

When the hounds were at a loss, the father, with his red steel drill, rushed towards the dense area of the wolves, and the children and dogs followed closely when they saw it.

The wolves didn't expect these people to dare to take the initiative to attack at this time, some turned their heads and ran, and two wolves who hesitated for a moment and ran a little slower, were poked into their bodies by the red steel drill in an instant, burning the wolf meat and squeaking, and screaming in pain; The wolves who ran out didn't care about the fate of these wolves, and they disappeared one by one after a while.

After a scuffle, the father and his children counted the loot and found the corpses of four wolves lying on the ground, and one wolf with two legs wounded and unable to run, lying on the grass covered in blood and whimpering like crying, neither the man nor the dog was injured.
