Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Grass Shed

The stone axe is quite easy to use, although it is not as sharp as a pig iron axe, but it is more than enough to cut down trees. The most uncomfortable thing is that there is no saw, which restricts a large part of his skills, even if he has the skill of slaying dragons, he can only kill a loach, which is so helpless.

It took him a morning to cut down a poplar tree the size of a basketball, drag it out of the woods with great effort, remove the bark little by little with a stone axe, cut off the excess branches, dry them in the sun, and make them into a slightly flat rafter.

In the afternoon, the weather suddenly became overcast, and it began to rain, and Fengyun held a large dry leaf as an umbrella and squatted under the tree, which was very unpleasant. Building a house was a big project, and before that, he had to get a hot shelter from the wind and rain.

The mountain rain came and went quickly, and it only rained for less than an hour before the rain stopped. Fengyun wiped the rain from his face, and prepared to build a shed first.

Baa! Xiaobai shouted under the tree, still tugging on the rope, and didn't seem to like being tethered.

Fengyun walked over and said, "Your leg is not healed! What do you want to do?

Seeing him coming, Xiao Bai no longer struggled, but shouted at him, Fengyun was so noisy that his brain hurt, so he had to say impatiently: "Okay, okay, I'll let you go, don't run around!"

Xiaobai waited quietly for him to untie it, moved his neck, walked a few steps, and lowered his head to gnaw on the grass leaves.

"No wonder, there is no grass to eat!" Fengyun looked around, Xiaobai ate all the tips of the tender grass around him, and he didn't touch the thick branches and leaves, and it seemed that he was also a picky eater.

Seeing that it did not run away immediately, Fengyun relieved himself and let it eat grass on its own, while he himself ran to the stream to catch fish and eat.

After a rain, the fish in the stream all floated to the surface, panting with their mouths open, which was like picking up for nothing for Fengyun.

A rain made the ground wet, and there was no dry wood to start the fire, but Fengyun had its own way. It often rained when he was boiling salt at the seashore, and when he couldn't find the velvet, he would go to the hollow of the pheasant's tree and pull the dry branches from his nest, and sometimes he could get a few chicken feathers, which he used to start the fire all the time.

Sometimes Fengyun also feels a little ashamed, always bullying a pheasant, eating other people's eggs, and destroying other people's nests. But the old hen is also a dead brain, if it were replaced by other wild birds, it would have abandoned the nest and ran, not only did it not run, but also laid its eggs every day, and the wind and clouds pulled a handful of hay, and it was mended the next day, as if it was consumed with the wind and clouds.

Every time I go to steal a handful of dry wood to start a fire, I will sincerely have a sense of admiration, the pheasant mother is a strong chicken, a noble chicken, a chicken that has escaped from low-level tastes, but it is a little brainless......

Wandering around the woods, I found a bird's nest at random. Fengyun climbed up, but saw a gray-spotted bird squatting in it to hatch eggs, and when he saw him suddenly appear, he was startled, and jumped up and flew out in horror, hovering and flying above his head, chirping and screaming.

This bird seemed to come from a big family, and after a while, a group of birds with the same appearance gathered above the top of Fengyun, angrily scolding this hooligan who peeked at the little daughter-in-law to hatch eggs.

The wind and clouds are unbearable for the birds, climb down the tree, and find the bird's nest again, can't Lao Tzu find an empty nest?

There were not many other nests in the woods, but there were really many birds' nests, and it didn't take long for Fengyun to find an empty nest, take down the tree, pull out the thin dry branches in the middle, and use them as ignitions to make a fire.

The bark pot with salt seeped a little water into it, and Fengyun was so frightened that he hurriedly put the bark pot on the fire to dry before the fish was roasted. This is a ration he has worked so hard to get, and it cannot be wasted.

No, we had to build a shed as soon as possible, otherwise the salt would not be able to be saved, and he put the bark pot away, and he began to get busy.

Finding a vacant lot, Fengyun picked up all the branches, grass, blades, and stones on the ground, and threw them out, exposing the ground, and cleaning up a flat piece of land.

He cut down a branch with the thickness of a bottle cap, took out the straightest part in the middle, used it as a stake, and smashed it into the ground with a stone, about fifteen or twenty centimeters, and pulled it out again, leaving a hole in the ground, which was reserved for planting support.

After making a circle of holes in the ground, Fengyun cut a pile of branches more than two meters long and came back, stuck one end in the hole in the ground, and the other end was all gathered together, tied up with bark ropes, and tied together to form an inner frame like a yurt.

Xiaobai was chewing blades of grass while watching him busy intently, very leisurely, as if he was watching a performance.

Fengyun also found some slender branches and braided them into the inner frame one by one, used them as beams, and tied the junction of the branches with bark ropes, and a complete grass hut skeleton was erected.

Although it looks like a large chicken coop, the current tool can only be made like this, so let's make use of it first!

The next thing is to build the wall, and of course a lot of grass will be used in the grass shed, and Fengyun will start to collect blades of grass frantically. Pull down the weeds, tie them into bundles of straw with grass stems, and then connect the straw handles together to form a straw curtain, which is tied to the beam one by one.

The wall needed not a lot of grass, Fengyun pulled out all the weeds around it, and ran to the other side of the stream to pull a lot of grass back, so that the wall could be finished before dark.

The top wind and clouds were not blocked with straw curtains, but a frame was weaved, the grass was bolted up, and a detachable grass cover was made as a top cover.

Looking at the simple grass shed in front of him, Fengyun was very happy. Finally got rid of the hard life of sleeping on the trees, and was able to sleep lying down, which was perfect! With shelter from the wind and rain, the unextinguishable bonfire task of the system could also be done.

The fire from the fire outside was led to the grass shed and burned for a while, and the wind and clouds were quickly extinguished, there was no way, it was too choking.

The inside of the grass shed is a confined space, and the firewood is only burned for a while, and it is filled with smoke, not to mention sleeping in it, Fengyun is even afraid that the shed will be set on fire directly.

"Alas, it seems that the fire still can't be maintained......" Fengyun sighed to himself, it was already dark, but he still moved the fire out so as not to burn the shed that he had worked so hard to build.

When he went to the river and caught a fish and came back, he roasted it on the fire, and Xiaobai came over and stood by the fire to watch him work.

Fengyun sprinkled salt water on the fish, and turned back to Xiaobai and smiled: "I'm a fish all day long, a fish, a fish, or you sacrifice it and let me make a mutton soup to drink." ”

Xiaobai ignored him and lay down beside the fire, one eye reflected the blazing bonfire, while the other backlit eye was still a bright light blue, looking like half sea water and half flame, very beautiful.

Fengyun picked the tender meat on the belly of the fish and ate it, there was no type to pick, only the quality, anyway, there were many fish in the creek, even if it was wasted, no one said about him.

Suddenly, there was a faint tremor on the ground, and a familiar shout of "Ang, Ang!" came, and Fengyun jumped up in surprise, only to see a huge rhinoceros running from the side of the stream, staring at Fengyun.

Why is this scene so familiar? Fengyun looked down at the burning fire, his face changed, and before he could speak, the rhinoceros rumbled towards him.

"Damn!" As soon as Fengyun lowered his head and ran away with Xiaobai in his arms, the rhinoceros rushed to the place where he was standing just now, jumping on the fire.

The rhinoceros was doping, and perhaps this was one of its few entertainments, but Fengyun was not happy.

"Your uncle!" Looking at the arrogant rhinoceros, Fengyun was directly angry, this is the second time. He held Xiaobai in one hand and pointed at the rhinoceros with the other and scolded: "It's endless! I didn't talk about you the last time you came over, it's not endless?

The rhinoceros's big ass swayed and rubbed against the grass shed, and it looked like it was about to be knocked down, and the wind and clouds couldn't stand it. This is the result of his hard work for a day, how can this damn rhinoceros be ruined like this?

Lao Tzu wanted to protect the fruits of his labor, Fengyun picked up a long tree branch from the ground, and rushed towards the rhinoceros with a strange scream.

The sudden howl made the rhinoceros tremble, but when he turned his head, he saw a hairless monkey running over, the rhinoceros did not move, and lowered its head to show its sharp rhinoceros horns.

Fengyun's pace slowed down, and it didn't seem to scare it, this big creature must be about to crash into it, right? He looked left and right, and prepared the rhinoceros to jump up the tree as soon as it rushed over.

Xiaobai behind him seemed to be frightened, and let out a "blea", and the rhinoceros in front of him suddenly seemed to see something terrible, took two steps back, turned around and ran.

The branch in Fengyun's hand waved more vigorously, twitching the air and whining, and Xiaobai bleated to cheer him on. Under his pursuit, the rhinoceros ran faster, and in a blink of an eye it was gone, and Fengyun stopped.

Fengyun carried a tree branch, like a victorious general, and walked back with high spirits.

Walking in front of Xiaobai, Fengyun said triumphantly: "See if Xiaobai? Brother drove the rhinoceros away!

Xiaobai disdainfully, lowered his head and gnawed on the grass stems, Fengyun sat down with a smile, he was a little excited just now, he needed to calm down.

A mess of fires and grass huts, Fengyun didn't pay attention to them, but sat on the ground and adjusted his breathing. He defended his safety and property, even in the face of such a formidable enemy.

"Thank you......" Fengyun said suddenly, Xiaobai's action of gnawing on grass blades was suffocated, and he returned to normal in an instant, but all this was seen by Fengyun. He smiled, reached out and touched Xiaobai's smooth hair, picked it up, and walked towards the fire.
