Chapter 8: Seriously Building a Shelter

[Things in another world are always strange, don't be deceived by eyes and so-called common sense, then you will be angry and curse! ——32nd of the 145th year of the 4th era of Guangming]

A month later, my little shelter was taking shape and could be called a "little camp"; There are small wooden houses, small vegetable gardens, small cages for raising domestic animals, large cages for raising small animals, and a small yard, even the clothes and shapes are different; I am now wearing clothes sewn from wild boar skin, and I have grown much taller, no longer like a child, but a sturdy young man; It seems that the living conditions have improved substantially, the nutrition is sufficient, and the development is indeed very good.

This is a bit abstract, so I'll describe it in detail.

The mountain chosen by the Golden Dragon, in the side I have seen so far, the cave is located halfway up the mountain, and the cave is not full of scorching flames as imagined, because this is not a volcano, but a normal mountain, surrounded by beautiful mountain forests.

The entrance of the cave is open to the southeast, and there is a large platform outside the cave, which should be the usual take-off and landing platform of the golden dragon, and the space of the take-off and landing platform is very large, so large that it is no problem to build two football fields.

There are slopes on both sides of the platform that can be walked, but the part that picks out in the middle of the landing platform is an almost vertical cliff, and I estimate that the height of the cliff is at least 20 meters, and there are two layers of slopes below the cliff; The slope close to the cliff of the landing platform is relatively steep, estimated to have a slope of 60 degrees, which is more than 10 times the area of the landing platform, and the slope further down is much slower, already close to the foot of the mountain, almost about 30 degrees of slope.

I haven't measured the height of the peak, but it's up and down 500 meters. In addition to the take-off and landing platforms, the entire mountain peak is covered with vegetation, mostly tall old trees, shrubs, vines, flowers, and other plants.

The surroundings are probably introduced here, and then the cave.

The golden dragon's lair is a bit exaggerated, if it hadn't collapsed, I wouldn't dare to imagine how big it was, just imagine that a golden beast more than twenty meters tall can run freely in it, and the size of the golden dragon I remember is slightly larger than the golden beast, plus its wing width, the golden dragon's wing width must be twenty meters, and it can also glide, fly, jump, climb and roll in its own cave; You can imagine how spacious this nest was originally.

Of course, at least half of it has collapsed now, plus the space occupied by the golden beast, there is about one-fifth of the space left, and this one-fifth of the space, I roughly estimated, seven or eight acres of land can not run properly, even if it is possible to build a small castle in it, so I built a small wooden house into it, and also built a five-meter-high wall at the entrance of the cave, leaving only a two-meter-high small door, so that there will be a sense of security.

After that, it took time to tidy up the take-off and landing platform at the entrance a little, build a half-meter-high fence, and use it as the entrance and exit gate to the left of the large courtyard, that is, to the northwest.

In this way, my shelter was initially built, and I began to grow crops in the yard with confidence, raising some livestock and poultry, which was the beginning of my simple life in another world.

I went to the yard, picked up a mountain egg for breakfast, and then fed it to the animals, and when I had done that, I went back to the house to get my salute.

"I haven't been out for more than a month, and the weather is so good today, let's see if there will be anything good?" I muttered and went out.

Although after more than a month of hard work, I have been able to solve the basic problem of food and clothing, but I still like to wander in the mountains and forests to find new things, after all, this is a different world, and there are many things to be curious.

{Murmur: - Hi!} Why do you care so much about him? What do he eat, drink, and live in, and say something fresh. }

After I left the temporary shelter, I walked all the way to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the mountains and forests, the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers; Just as I was intoxicated by the wonderful artistic conception of the mountains and forests, a tiger roar woke me up.

"Tigers in the mountains?" As soon as the idea came to me, I began to panic, and when I looked around and saw that there was no decent cover, my heart became even more nervous.

"What to do? What to do? - Up the tree! "Clever and quick-witted, I spotted the largest tree in front of me and climbed up quickly.

This big tree is very big, the radius of the main trunk alone should be four or five meters, I can't see the height, just can't see the top, the branches are like a rotating ladder is also clear, the branches are thick, and the thickness is also 3-4 meters in diameter.

Not long after, another tiger roar was close at hand.

Looking down......

"I'm a good girl, is the tiger so big? Is this a cross between a tiger cheating and an elephant? I hid in a tree and muttered softly.

The big tiger seemed to hear my muttering, or smell me, and in any case, it came under the tree where I was hiding—and it didn't go away; I went around and sniffed in the air, then suddenly looked up at me hiding in a tree.

Then, he looked up at me and let out another tiger roar, but this time the tiger roar was not as loud as before, but more low, with a sense of struggle.

I didn't dare to move, my mind was blank, especially after the big tiger looked at me, and even hid on it and clung to the trunk.

I didn't move, and the big tiger didn't go, until it got dark.

This is a contest of endurance, whoever can't stand it first will lose!

{Murmur: Do you think this is an explanation of the animal world?} This is obviously a battle without suspense, and the big tiger is waiting for the rabbit at first glance! }

Okay, it's a game of waiting for the rabbit, and the big tiger is looking at me in the tree, but it's one of the animals that can't climb trees.

"Woohoo!"

The big tiger seemed to be unable to hold on, and got up and retreated, as if to leave.

I saw the turn of events that had finally appeared, and I was secretly happy in my heart: I was finally leaving!

Knowing that this big tiger didn't talk about martial arts at all, he took a few steps back and accelerated violently, and then got up and climbed a few times to the height where I was, and then walked flexibly towards the trunk of the tree where I was, and there was no problem of not being able to climb the tree at all.

I really wanted to kill the guy who told me "Tigers can't climb trees".

I panicked, completely panicked, and every cell in my body complained to me: Finish, finish calf - what kind of bastard said that tigers can't climb trees?

Hurriedly holding the trunk of the tree and climbing up again, the big tiger didn't give me a chance at all, walked up to me in a few steps, and made a low "whine" sound in his throat, and then slowly opened its tiger mouth with big fangs a few centimeters in front of my eyes.

My whole body trembled like chaff, my eyes closed and my back pressed against the trunk of the tree, I was already too frightened to move, my closed eyes were painful, and I didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere, and I felt like I was waiting quietly to die.

But after waiting for a while, I still heard the sound of "woo woo" from the throat of the big tiger, but I didn't bite down for a long time.

Nervously and curiously, I opened a slit in my eye and peeked at it.

The big tiger opened his big mouth, and his saliva kept flowing outward, and there was a trace of blood, but he didn't mean to bite me, but continued to keep it open in front of my eyes.

An incredible thought flashed through my mind: this big tiger didn't seem to have malicious intentions, it shouldn't be here to eat people, maybe something else.

So I had the courage to open my eyes and look at the big mouth in front of me.

Suddenly, I saw the source of the blood in the mouth of the big tiger.

It turned out that the big tiger was pierced by something in the mouth, no wonder it would always guard me, but it would not attack.

Although I knew that the big tiger was here to ask for help, I was still a little scared, and I tried to put my hand into the tiger's mouth several times, but I retracted it several times.

I've heard a lot of stories about the farmer and the snake, and I don't want to be a farmer.

"Woohoo, woohoo!"

The big tiger seemed to be tired from opening his mouth, or perhaps a little impatient, and began to bark at me, meaning to urge me to hurry up.

Gritting my teeth, I still put my hand in, and I didn't dare to blink my eyes, for fear that the tiger's mouth would suddenly close, so I really explained it here.

Look at the position, quickly grab the foreign object, pull it out as fast as possible, and retract your hand without even the slightest pause.

I felt a sense of security at the moment when my hand was retracted, and just when I had a sense of security, I looked up and saw the big tiger's head, and the sense of security was instantly lacking.

At this time, the tiger is the knife and I am the fish, and there is no way to avoid it, so I simply closed my eyes again and waited to fall into the tiger's mouth.

But after thinking about it, I felt that it was wrong: Lao Tzu has a knife! If there is a knife, what am I afraid of it, a big cat? Since both horizontal and vertical are dead, Lao Tzu will die with it!

The thought was clear, and my whole person immediately lost the burden, took out the big knife, and put it across my chest, ready to fight at any time.

Now not only is he much taller, but he also has a lot more strength, and holding this knife at this time feels no different from holding a kitchen knife.

The pride in my heart soared, and there was a sense of expansion of "I have a knife in my hand, and I have the world"; I was much bolder, and I immediately felt full of confidence, and I raised my knife and protested at the big tiger, "Don't come here, don't come here!" Otherwise, I will die with you! ”

As if he hadn't heard, the big tiger licked my face with a tongue unexpectedly, and lay at my feet, flicking his big tail with a flattering expression.

This reminds me of the rhubarb I used to raise, and it is also like this.

The big tiger suddenly changed 180 degrees, which made me feel a little unreal, and I said to myself in a daze: "Am I dazzled? Or are you dreaming? ”

I raised my hand and exhaled vigorously, and suddenly screamed in pain: "Oops, it really hurts!" I-this-got a big tiger? Hahaha-"

Fortunately, my first thought was not to slaughter and eat this tiger, otherwise it would have been different.

The addition of the big tiger also gave me an object to speak to in my solitary life.

It's rare to have someone to talk to, so I don't care if the big tiger understands it or not, anyway, if I have something to do, I just talk to it about life, at least it can give me a feeling that I am no longer alone.

After a few days, I noticed that the big tiger I had raised was a little different, with lightning faintly flashing through the big blue eyes, and the hair became a little black, and even a pair of sharp horns began to emerge on the forehead, and the fangs became longer and longer.

By the way, I gave it a random name - Big Cat.

"Big cat, what are you stealing? I feel like you're a little mutated, and it's dangerous, but don't eat me someday. "I sat at the door, eating an unknown fruit, while touching the big tiger and basking in the sun.

This doorway is actually the entrance to the Golden Dragon's lair.

The big tiger rubbed his head gently in my arms, as if to tell me: don't worry, I'm your little kitten.

"Forget it, don't worry about it for now, there's still a lot to do today; We're going to have to turn the cave into our base camp before autumn and stock up on food for the winter, or we'll all go hungry for the winter, and that will be a bad feeling! ”

Since the food was secured, I began to tidy up the collapsed cave, and concentrated on carrying rocks from the collapsed cave to build a wall at the entrance of the cave, preparing to make a gate, so that inside the cave would be my secret hut and outside would be a beautiful large courtyard.

Speaking of the mouth of the nest, I couldn't help but want to mourn for myself for a few minutes at the sight of the height - all sorts of thoughts and plans swirled in my head to fill the wall to this height, and it really bothered me for days, but it was worth it, after all, it was the most important guarantee of my shelter.

In order to fill this high wall, I know very well in my heart that if I want to do it in a month alone, it will be a task that cannot be completed at all, so my estimate is divided into several stages, and I plan to complete it in four months, to reserve three windows in the upper, middle and lower parts, to do the upper and lower exhaust air windows and a large door, the height of the gate is specially designed to be seven or eight meters, I will want to do this height is for the big man to consider; In this way, the cave not only ensures lighting, but also ensures air circulation, and sleeping in it will be very safe; But in the first month, you have to drive out a height of about 12 meters, because the creatures in this world are too perverted, and they don't have any sense of security without a certain height; If nothing else, just look at my big cat, you can know that the size of a tiger is almost catching up with the size of the elephant in my memory.

After joining this small family from the big tiger, the usual hunting affairs were left to it, and it was obviously more suitable for hunting than me; Then I myself began to carry stones around the cave to build the high walls, and at the same time to sort out the treasures in the cave.

When the huge body of the golden beast penetrated into it, it cleared a large part of the dragon's cave, and many of the collapsed stones in it were pushed not far from the entrance of the cave by its powerful force; This has given me a lot of convenience, and in most cases, I only have to act as a porter, and it also gives me enough stone to build the walls, so I don't have to spend time mining.

"The Space Treasure Ring is really a must-have for home travel and what kind of goods, otherwise with my thin body, I want to move so many stones, and I really don't know how to move to the Year of the Monkey!" I said lightly as I used the Space Treasure Ring to hold the stones and the mixed treasures.

In the middle of the process, out of the corner of my eye, I accidentally caught a glimpse of a different skeleton pressed under a boulder.

In the past, when cleaning up the collapsed piles of rocks, I would also see some scattered skeletons from time to time, after all, the dragon's recipe already includes humans and humanoids, and of course, there are not a few dragon slayers who seek death and greed, so it is not surprising.

But this one is a little different.

The skeleton was wearing a beautiful mask, the whole mask was carved from a single white beast tooth, the delicate pattern was inlaid with gold and precious stones, it was extremely gorgeous, and it was also wearing a beautiful robe, I don't know what it was, but it felt very strong, otherwise it would have rotted long ago.

"Huh? This skeleton looks pretty powerful, and it should have been an incredible figure when he was alive! I dragged out the richly dressed skeleton and looked at it, muttering quietly.

Seeing this gorgeous robe, I can't help but think of the robe I picked from the dragon witch in the magic box universe, if they are still there, it is estimated that it will not be worse than this set, but unfortunately it has already been worn and thrown away by me.

However, no matter how gorgeous the clothes are, they can't catch my eye, that's not what I want, but a seemingly ordinary satchel carried by the skeleton that aroused my interest.

Pick up the satchel and open it without hesitation.

This is a storage bag with a space medium.

"This is - space bag?! Yay—haha, do you like this little surprise the most—magic books? Sword? Is there only one space bag? ”

After checking the space backpack, I felt a little incredible, and although I had doubts in my heart, I still unceremoniously accepted all the things that could be used on the skeleton's body.

The skeletons that appear from time to time in the cave have been placed by me in a small clearing not far from the waterhole, and I think that the feng shui of the mountains and rivers there is good, but as for the erection of the monument - no!

Because there is no such condition, there are only a few pieces of rubble piled up now, and maybe it will be erected when there are conditions in the future.

Then I continued to carry the messy rockfall, but it didn't surprise me again.

The days passed by peacefully, bringing me a very comfortable rhythm of life.

Autumn is starting to take place, and many of the crops in the farmland I have planted are starting to ripen.

The construction of the cave wall was completed three days ago, and I officially entered the busy autumn harvest, everything is so just right and beautiful.

"This little food is not enough, I have to go out to get something and come back, and by the way, see if there are any other wild grains in the mountains and forests; By the way, we have to build an iron stove and a carpentry workshop, and there are still many places where these two things will be used in the future......"

I started planning for the rest again.

The farm work in the fields was quickly finished, and I was now more and more like a farmer; Not only that, but I found that my endurance and strength were getting bigger and bigger, and my speed was also increasing rapidly, and I started the farm work quickly and steadily, and I harvested three acres of rice land in one morning, and at the same time cleaned it up.

After dark, sitting by the fire and drawing the design of the stove, it occurred to me that I needed to learn some magic, otherwise life in another world would always be a shortcoming.

I walked to the pile of books and took out the magic book I found in the skull space bag earlier, and read it carefully, usually when I tidy up the cave, I will collect the books I come across and stack them in the stack.

The next day, I was woken up by the desire to learn magic, and I kept walking around with the magic book in my hand, and according to the insights in the magic book, I kept trying: "Why don't you play it?" Is that so? Such? Or is it so? ……”

Until the sun hung high, I still didn't use a single magic, and threw the book back into the pile in a fit of rage: "Any magic is a trick to deceive!" Isn't it good for me to live my simple life? All the bells and whistles! ”

I have tried the magic recorded in the whole magic book, and I can't help but try to use magic whenever I have time, and every time I fail to experiment during the day, I will be greatly shocked, and my mood will become very irritable, although I am unwilling, I can only go to work in the field.

But in the evening, I couldn't help but pick up the magic book again and read it carefully.

This state lasted for many days, and I don't know how many times I tried to use the magic but I didn't succeed once, not even a Mars.

During the time I was focused on studying magic, I completely ignored everything else, and even forgot about talking to the big cat about life, and almost forgot about it.

It wasn't until one day, when I suddenly felt that something was missing, that it dawned on me:

"Strange, where has the big cat been these days? Before spring, run out and surf? ”

I sometimes think back to how lucky I am compared to most travelers, I at least know how I got here? Now I still have a rough idea of what kind of world I am into, unlike other travelers who are completely confused when they arrive in the new world.

Just like now, not long after I arrived in this other world, there is a golden monster minion and a big tiger worth thinking about, I think I am very lucky.

"Forget it, I'm going to think about what a beast is for? What does it do, I still have a lot to tidy up, and the stove to be renovated, a blacksmith's shop, and a carpenter's house; By the way, there are rowing houses, mills, and so on – whew! It turns out that there is still so much to do; Yes, yes, yes, we must also reinforce the wall, otherwise once the heavy snow comes, how can this height be enough to resist the invasion of wild beasts——, hey, why are there so many things to do? If only I could have one or two more helpers, it's really annoying! ”

I arranged the farm work in front of the door and planned the work.

It took me three days to reinforce and expand the blacksmith's shop, so that it would be a decent one; With the upgraded blacksmith shop, some ores that could not be smelted before were taken out and planned to be re-smelted.

Ore smelting fuel is really important.

Originally, I used to use wood to make charcoal, but I did it slowly after a few experiments.

At first, I thought that after burning the wood thoroughly, I could make coke by splashing it with water, but every time I made it, I slapped my mouth hard.

After experiments and experiments, I realized that coke needs to be smoldered to be successful, but even if coke is used as fuel, there is still a lot of ore that cannot be smelted.

Not only that, but the blacksmith shop is really just a blacksmith shop, and without a good stove, even if it uses the best coke, it can only be used for iron, and even steel cannot be made, not to mention other higher metals, which is really annoying.

This mountain forest is rich in minerals. In addition to the abundance of iron ore, there are also many rare ores.

When I was hunting more than half a year ago, I stumbled upon the existence of these things; I was able to know that these things existed thanks to my own accumulation of knowledge, which was not the result of the dragon's memory, but my own knowledge that I had learned and accumulated from different places; Some of them were learned from Aoguang when he was exploring the universe in "Pandora's Box", and some were taught by Aoguang, and recorded in the strange book "Tolai Diary", anyway, I know these things.

"Where the hell is this dead cat going?"

After a few days, I still didn't see the big tiger, so I couldn't help but complain again before continuing to work.

The ore in the blacksmith is ready, the temperature in the furnace is rising, and the heat inside is beginning to melt the iron ore in the crucible.

Today I am going to forge a big axe to cut wood, the big knife is not suitable for the next cutting task, although there are many trees in the mountain forest, and they are all very large, with a big knife can only cut down those smaller trees, it is not good to use to cut down large trees; And the next thing to build will be a lot of wood; In addition to the big axe, I plan to forge a whole set of carpenter's tools, but the other tools are not so hurried and can be forged slowly.

[★ Description: The "noise" in this is an auditory hallucination caused by Tolai's long life alone, and it is also a manifestation of his mental self-struggle. 】
