Chapter 5 Repair of Exterior Walls
"That's right! I don't eat well... No matter how good the shelter is, it won't last a few days! ”
He Shan nodded in agreement.
Camping is a test of comprehensive quality, especially food, which is the top priority.
In terms of eating, Xu Xing's performance does not look like a camping master, if you really want to be a camping master, it is estimated that he has already started to cook with a gas stove now, even if he can't cook, he will cook a pot of instant noodles with soup and water instead of chewing compressed biscuits.
"Let's go!"
Speaking of which,
Liu Ning immediately turned around and walked towards his camp.
At this moment,
Liu Ning no longer wants to pay attention to Xu Xing's safety tonight, and just wants to wait for Xu Xing to go home because he can't hold on to eating..... Because he knew very well that with this shelter, Xu Xing would definitely sleep very comfortably and safely tonight.
......
On the other side,
Xu Xing didn't know the movements and thoughts of Liu Ning and the others, and as the sky grew dark, a small bonfire had already been lit in the ruins.
As a top chef, how could he not make hot dishes?
It's just that I really don't have time, so I made a living with compressed biscuits.
It is said that after setting up the tent in the afternoon, I went to the surrounding ruins to pick up some waste wood that can be used to burn the fire, and fixed a solar panel on the outer wall that I had bought a long time ago, and then studied the waste pawn system for a while, until this moment was a real rest.
Of course
The solar panels can only be regarded as temporary fixation, and they have to choose another location later.
"Alas! That's it for today.... Find a way to get the façade tomorrow! Pickup trucks can only make ends meet after all! As long as the exterior walls are repaired, and then you want to put wooden rafters on the four walls, and cover them with grass and mud, it is a real small room. ”
Looking around at the earthen walls,
Xu Xing sighed slightly.
During the day, he still thinks a little simpler.
Originally, I thought that the pickup truck could block the wind outside, but this shelter could last at least a few days, and the matter of the outer wall could be dragged backwards.
But in fact, as soon as the sharp northwest wind blew, the camping tent in the corner of the wall would still whirring and moving.
It's neither warm nor quiet, and you can't sleep peacefully at night.
Therefore, the plan can only be changed temporarily!
Make the exterior wall first, and then make the exterior wall up and then make the others step by step.
"However, repairing the exterior wall is a big project, and it may not be able to be done in one day, and it is estimated that I can only continue to eat compressed biscuits or snacks in the past two days."
Xu Xing chewed a dry compressed biscuit.
This abandoned oil town was built in the seventies and eighties of the last century, and the houses inside are made of old-fashioned square adobe except for the red brick floor.
In other words, the ruined façade had to be built with this adobe foundation to fit perfectly.
And it's too late to make adobe and then dry it, so you can only go to other ruins to pick the kind that is intact and undamaged, tear down the east wall, and make up the west wall!
This estimate will take a lot of time.
In addition, in addition to adobe, the exterior wall needs a lot of mud!
Without mud, the adobe façade will collapse when it is pushed down, which is not only unsafe but also increases the safety hazard.
"Water? Where will I go to get water tomorrow? There seems to be a small river on the north side of the town...... Forget it, set an alarm clock and rest first, and talk about tomorrow's things tomorrow morning..... The more you think about it, the more things happen! ”
Scratching the head,
After chewing the last bite of the compressed biscuit, Xu Xing got into the tent.
At this time, he finally felt a thick tiredness, and the tiredness made his eyelids already start fighting, and he really couldn't hold on without resting.
The alarm clock is set at night to get up and add some firewood to the campfire.
......
The night is vast and the sky is full of stars!
The night sky in the northwest is particularly deep, as if lonely, and emptiness has become synonymous with the northwest.
No one knew that a town that had been abandoned for decades had two more bonfires, and no one knew that two campfires had brought a little life to the town.
Not long after Xu Xing entered the tent, he began to snore.
No more words all night,
At half past six the next morning, more than ten minutes after the east showed the white of the fish's belly, the tent in the corner of the ruins was opened again.
"Whew!"
Stretching and rubbing his eyes, Xu Xing glanced at the already extinguished bonfire.
I slept okay last night, although it was windy, but the tent was fixed in the corner of the ruins, at least there was no problem with safety, but there was one thing to say, no matter how good the tent and sleeping bag were, it was not as good as the kind of youth hostel that cost dozens of dollars a night.
It really doesn't feel the same!
"Get to work! Make the exterior wall first and then think about the others. ”
Himself
Just when Xu Xing turned around and planned to wash up briefly, he was suddenly stunned,
I don't know when the pile of wood and nails piled up outside the ruins has disappeared and is no longer visible, and it is clear that the pawn system has collected all the scrap.
"I don't feel like I'm hearing any movement.... How the hell was it taken away? ”
Coming back to your senses,
Xu Xing muttered to himself in confusion and stopped paying attention.
In fact, no matter what means the system uses to recover those things, as long as they don't attract the attention of others, the pawn can buy things in the system mall, and the process is actually not important.
That's it
A few minutes later, after washing, Xu Xing took his gloves and a sapper shovel to another ruin, and began a real life of "moving bricks".
......
Xu Xing got up early here, and on the other side of the town,
Liu Ning and others also got out of the tent!
Compared with Xu Xing, the sleep quality of Liu Ning and the four of them did not seem to be as high as they imagined, and everyone had big dark circles under their eyes.
"Brother Liu, this ghost place is really.... Absolutely! ”
Pouting, He Shan couldn't help but complain.
They didn't get much sleep last night.... A few people took turns lighting the bonfire, and the temperature was fine, but the whirring wind was really unbearable.
"In this way, after eating something, we will also go to clean up a ruin, and set up a tent in the corner like Xu Xing! Otherwise, I'll have insomnia tonight. ”
Liu Ning rubbed his eyebrows painfully.
He didn't expect the northwest wind to be like that at night.
Previously, for convenience, they set up their tent on the back of a ruined back, although it was flat but not covered on three sides, especially in the middle of the night, a gust of wind blew and felt that the tent was about to be lifted by the roots.
Can't sleep at all!
"Clearing a debris? This Brother Liu, that... What about Xu Xing's side? ”
Hearing the arrangement, He Shan was stunned.
According to the plan, from this morning onwards, they had to keep an eye on Xu Xing's every move until they finally couldn't hold on and left the town.
"Don't delay, it's not too late to wait for us to clear out a ruin and then go over and stare at it! Xu Xing made one yesterday in half an afternoon by himself, and the four of us estimated that it would be almost in more than two hours! ”
Liu Ning waved his hand.
He's fed up with that constant ringing in his ears, and he's going to break down if he does it tonight.
"More than two hours? That's fine, too! If it's because of the food .... Xu Xing should be able to continue to hold on today! Maybe it will collapse in two or three days! ”
After thinking about it,
He Shan felt that what Liu Ning said also made sense.
More than two hours really didn't make a difference.
