Chapter 61: The Great Cave is Discovered
Zhou Cuihua wiped her tears, choked up and said: "I am very cold, the head of the family fled with the villagers, although I can't talk about fighting hard along the way, but everything is rushing ahead." But now it's good, it's settled, and if you don't die of hunger, you start saying that we are in charge. I don't think it's worth it! ”
Liu Paner comforted and reminded in a low voice, "Okay, is it worth it, can you eat it!" Hurry back to rest, I used two knives, asked Uncle Da Gong to make a small guillotine, and quickly made the grass made of adobe into small sections. Let's make adobe bricks and build houses. Now it's hot, and I can still sleep in the bamboo shed. In the autumn and winter, when there is no quilt and we sleep outside, we will get sick. ”
Liu also followed and persuaded, "Yes, auntie, don't be angry, hurry up and clean up these hay and make adobe bricks." ”
Under the persuasion of Liu Paner and Liu, Zhou Cuihua was no longer angry, "Yes, just live your own life, and don't care about those messy things!" ”
Liu took Li Dabao to hunt, and Liu Paner took the children to help Village Chief Li's family make adobe bricks together.
The old man and the child were in charge of the grass, and after a while, there was a bunch of them.
The men poured water from the dredging and added hay, stepped on it with their feet, used shovels and mud, stirred well, and only then began to make adobe bricks in the brick molds.
When everyone saw that Village Chief Li's family began to make adobe bricks, they were also busy.
Everyone understands that if you don't make adobe bricks now, you may freeze to death in winter.
Village Chief Li and his wife Zhou Guihua are not as good as before, so the villagers don't dare to trouble Village Chief Li too much now.
Anyway, when they saw what the village chief was doing, they followed suit.
After the finished mud bricks are slightly dried, they can only be dried in the shade, otherwise they will dry and crack.
Because it is rainy in the south, you also have to pay attention to the weather, and if it rains, you have to cover it with a tarpaulin in advance.
Li Dabao and Liu ran in the mountains and forests all day long, and they were very familiar with the surroundings. In a secluded canyon a few hundred meters away, a very large cave was discovered.
He saw that everyone was trying their best to cover these mud bricks, and hurriedly ran over, "Mother, I found a good place, it is a cave, and it is very big inside. ”
Liu Pan'er was stunned for a moment, and her tone was surprised, "Where is it?" ”
Li Dabao was proud, "Mother, you come with me!" ”
Liu Paner didn't care about washing her hands, and then followed Li Dabao over.
After turning around and turning, he finally arrived at the cave, and Li Dabao said proudly: "Mother, look, there is such a big place here!" ”
Liu Pan'er looked around, this place is indeed very remote, blocked by the mountain in front, and she can't see here, "It's dark inside, have you gone in to have a look?" ”
Li Dabao nodded, "I've seen it a long time ago, there are some bats in it, just get it out." Isn't it convenient to use such a large place to dry mud bricks? ”
Liu Pan'er was overjoyed, but she couldn't help but remind, "In the future, like a cave or a lake, when you are not sure whether there is danger, you must not go in." Tell me first, find a way to try it, and make sure that there is no danger before you can go in. Got it? ”
Li Dabao scratched his head, forgot about it, and smiled, "Mother, I know." Is this cave useful? It's very dry inside, and I think it can be used to dry adobe bricks. ”
Liu Pan'er was happy to see Hunting, turned around inside, and smiled, "Not only can it dry adobe bricks, I think it can also be used as a warehouse for our family, and it can be used as housing for the time being." ”
"Huh?" Li Dabao was stunned, "Warehouse? Mother, are we going to build a house here? ”
Liu Pan'er nodded, "Yes, you see, the entrance is relatively narrow, but the inside is very spacious, and the hillside is not too high, very flat, there is a stream in front, and there are woods in the back." Our backyard is directly connected to the big cave, and if there is something to hide in it in the future, or you can also plant something in it. ”
Liu Paner had been looking for a place to build a house before, but there was no suitable place. When the mud bricks were enough, she built a house here.
When she had money, she bought bricks and built a bigger house.
Li Dabao looked around, "Mother, I think the terrain here is a bit high, and it is far away from the people in the village, so it is not safe for our family to live here." I saw that there were still a few caves over there, and told the village chief, Uncle Da Gong and Uncle Da Shan. If they are willing, they will come here together, and there will be four or five families, and we will not be afraid to live here. ”
Liu Paner nodded again and again, then picked up firewood nearby, lit a fire in the cave, and bats flew out one after another.
It's better to live in a cave than to live in a shed.
"Dabao, you quietly call the village chief's grandmother and the village chief's grandfather over, and we will discuss." Liu Paner felt that what Dabao said was very reasonable, although she had the ability to protect herself, she was not at home every day.
In case you go out, the house is full of women and children, and if a bad guy comes, there is no one to help.
"Yes, mother!" Li Dabao nodded, feeling that his suggestion had been accepted by his mother, and he was quite proud.
He is an adult and can solve problems for his mother.
After Li Dabao left, Liu Paner walked along the flat place and walked inside.
This look, it's amazing, not three or four, there are enough eight caves.
If everyone is willing to move over, most of the people in Lijia Village can move over.
When I first arrived, why didn't I find such a good place?
Liu Pan'er came back and came to the largest cave on the side, where the dead branches continued to burn, and the snakes, rats, insects and ants inside fled one after another.
Later, I will take some realgar powder and sprinkle it, and you can live here.
Just when Liu Pan'er was thinking about how to use the cave, Village Chief Li and Zhou Cuihua came over.
"Village chief, look, that's the cave I found, my mother said, my house is built here, it's a cave in our backyard, it's a big warehouse." Li Dabao excitedly introduced, "Village chief, it's big inside." ”
Village Chief Li was stunned for a moment, and ran over to take a look, there was smoke inside, but he could barely see clearly, "Hey, this cave is really big, there are several houses so big, it can hold a lot of things!" ”
"yes, that's huge." Zhou Cuihua praised, "Yuanqing's family, your family has made a lot of money this time." ”
"Uncle and aunt, go out and say, there is too much smoke in it." Liu Pan'er pointed outside and walked out together, "There are seven caves over there, although they are not as big as this, but the smallest one is as big as two rooms." I suggest telling the village to be honest and letting them move in with them. Those who are cheating and scheming, let's not tell them. ”
At this time, Village Chief Li was stunned, "Is there still over there?" ”
Li Dabao nodded, "Yes, quite a few, village chief, you hurry up and pick a big one." ”
Village Chief Li and Zhou Cuihua didn't need Liu Paner and Li Dabao to lead the way, so they rushed to the west, compared them, and chose the second cave.
Although this cave is not the largest, the flat area around it is large enough to build many houses, and it will be enough for the three sons to divide the family in the future.
