Chapter 596: Building a House

According to Ning Laosi's intentions, let Ning Cheng'er and Ning Mian'er go to sleep and rest, and he took people to guard the deck.

It's just that Ning Cheng'er shook his head when he said this, and Ning Mian'er didn't agree either.

"Fourth uncle, today you are very tired of digging stone ladders with others.

On the contrary, we didn't make much effort.

Even if there is a vigil, we should be here.

Moreover, if you keep vigil tonight, you will not have the energy to do anything during the day tomorrow. ”

Ning Cheng'er also commanded people to pick the fruit from the tree and put it in the cabin today.

In addition, when the water source is discovered, the fruits of the trees are not picked, and all the people take the vessels that can hold the water.

It's just that she didn't go with her, and stayed on the boat to watch.

Ning Mian'er is similar, although she has walked a lot, she really hasn't made much effort.

Therefore, it is the most appropriate thing for the two of them to come to the vigil.

Ning Laosi heard the words of the two nieces and found that they were really getting better and better at talking.

After thinking about it, if I stay up late, I may not be energetic during the day tomorrow.

"Okay, don't keep vigil together with the two of you, take turns!"

Anyway, in addition to the two nieces, there are other crew members of the night watch.

Ning Laosi had a good night's sleep, and the blue crab color in the sky was about to appear, so he opened his eyes.

When he walked to the deck, he happened to see his eldest niece Ning Cheng'er covering her mouth and yawning.

The second child, Ning Mian'er, was drooping her head, leaning on Ning Cheng'er's shoulder, sleeping soundly.

"Fourth uncle."

Ning Cheng'er saw Ning Laosi come out and wanted to stand up, but was stopped by Ning Laosi shaking his hand.

"You and Mian'er should rest first!"

Ning Laosi raised his voice lightly and said to Ning Cheng'er in a breathy voice.

Ning Cheng'er turned her head to look at Zhengxiang's second sister who was sleeping on her, and then pursed her lips and nodded, but she didn't shake Ning Mian'er awake, and went into the cabin to rest together.

waited until breakfast was ready in the kitchen and smelled the aroma of the food, and Ning Mian'er woke up.

"Sister, why don't you wake me up?"

After Ning Mian'er sat up straight, she stretched her waist, and saw Ning Cheng'er rubbing her shoulders, and suddenly opened her mouth, and said with some embarrassment.

"It's nothing, it's not that bad.

When you wake up, go freshen up, have breakfast, and have a lot to do! ”

Ning Cheng'er stood up, and by the way, she pulled Ning Mian'er up and said.

"Eldest sister, wait for you to rest, I'll stay on the boat and watch!"

Ning Mian'er thought about it and said to Ning Cheng'er.

The fourth uncle should still go to dig the stone ladder today, and she can't help much.

It's better to stay on the boat and let the eldest sister sleep for a while!

Ning Cheng'er thought about it and nodded.

"Okay, I'll go sleep when I'm done.

If we don't leave tonight, we will have to keep vigil at night. ”

Hearing this, Ning Mian'er couldn't help but have a bitter face.

Sure enough, after eating, Ning Laosi led the crew to continue to dig stone ladders on the other side of the waterhole.

When he left, Ning Cheng'er had already gone to sleep.

Hearing Ning Mian'er's words, he nodded and asked her to stay on the boat and not get off the boat.

The ship's crew, with the exception of the cook, almost all disembarked.

When the group reached the waterhole, they saw that in the trap dug last night, there was an animal like a deer, but the horns on its head were very large.

There are also two rabbits, and a pheasant.

Because the trap was stuck upside down with the sharpened branches that had been cut with machetes, the two rabbits and pheasants were pierced through their bodies, and they were dead.

Only this deer-like animal, though it had been impaled in its legs, feet, and body, was not completely dead.

This animal should have just fallen down from the waterhole this morning when he came to drink water from the waterhole.

"Fourth Master."

The big guy looked at the prey in the trap in surprise, his face full of excitement.

"Get two people to get it, pack it up, and send it to the ship.

When it's noon, let's have a full meal. ”

Ning Laosi saw that the big guy was so happy, waved his big hand, and said directly.

Hearing Ning Laosi's words, the big guy immediately cheered.

In fact, this deer-like animal, it is estimated that after the internal organs are removed, it will be dozens of catties of meat at most.

Not to mention the two rabbits and pheasants, if you want the big guys to eat enough, you definitely don't have to think about it.

However, it is certainly much better than yesterday with a pheasant and a small bowl of pheasant soup per person.

At the very least, everyone will be able to eat a few bites of meat.

Just for these few bites of meat, the big guy chiseled up the stone ladder today, and he put a lot of effort into it.

There were more people than yesterday, and soon the stone staircase was carved into a flat spot at the top of the waterfall.

Follow the direction of the water flowing down the waterfall and go up again.

Soon we reached the source of the water source, which was flat, a very large lake, surrounded by trees.

Looking at the size of the lake, it doesn't look like it was formed by rain.

It should be that there is fresh water below, otherwise, the water in this lake will keep flowing down, and if it is stagnant, it will have dried up long ago!

Looking at the area of trees surrounding the lake, I don't know how big it is.

However, this should be the highest point of this gourd island.

Ning Laosi looked around, if he wanted to build a supply point here.

I'm afraid that a lot of these trees will have to be cut down, otherwise there will be no spare land to build houses.

"Fourth master, you said you want to build a house here?"

Hearing Ning Laosi's words, the crew members who came up with them widened their eyes.

"Yes, do you see that in this direction?

Cut down all the trees here and here, and dig up the roots for me.

Now there is no hurry to build that kind of mud house, there are many things, and we don't have them on the ship.

Build a few wooden houses first, and when we come back next time, it will also be convenient for us to have a place to rest and replenish.

In addition, you can dig out the place on the top of the hill here, grow some vegetables, raise some chickens and ducks, or something.

In the future, we can also eat some green leafy vegetables, as well as fresh meat. ”

It's okay not to talk about meat, but when it comes to meat, the big guy's saliva wants to flow down again.

And the leafy greens, fresh meat and leafy greens, are things that are difficult to preserve on board.

If this side is really as the fourth master said, planting green leafy vegetables and raising chickens and ducks, it would be great.

With this expectation, the big guy built a wooden house, and he worked a lot hard.

Moreover, listening to the meaning of the fourth master, a mud house will be built in the future, and wood will definitely be indispensable.

Therefore, the trees in the places pointed out by Ning Laosi were quickly cut down by the big guys!

As for digging tree roots, this will take a while, so many tree roots, where can they be dug up.

I worked until noon, and my stomach growled.

The two wooden houses have been built, but many of the roots of the trees that have been cut down have not been dug up!

For being able to do this, Ning Laosi is already very satisfied!

Let people clean up, pile up the wood neatly, and save it for the next time they come, and build a house to use again.

Ask for a monthly pass, what's the deal!
