Chapter 192: Discovering The Bamboo Forest
Chapter 192: Discovering The Bamboo Forest
The next morning, Wang Yuan woke up, stretched his waist, and went out. The air in the jungle was very fresh in the morning.
Put away all the pots and pans outside, remove a hole in the wood, and take the second king to the stream to wash.
Everyone also got up one after another, came over to wash up, and said hello. Wang Yuan lit a cigarette, went back to the shed, found the telescope, and walked to the stream.
"Dahei, let's go and observe the surrounding environment."
Dahei Wuwu wiped his face and said, "OK."
"Sister Fang, you cook first, we'll be back in a while."
"OK."
Wang Yuan and Dahei carried guns and machetes, crossed the creek and climbed up the hillside.
Half an hour later, Wang Yuan said: "Okay, Dahei, don't climb anymore, it will take at least two or three hours to climb to the top of the mountain."
Dahei stopped, took out his binoculars, looked around, and said, "No, it's blocked by trees, so I can't see anything."
"It's okay." Wang Yuan found a eucalyptus tree more than 20 meters high, jumped up, and climbed up in a few steps.
Picking up the binoculars and looking at it, the girls on the grass below were busy washing vegetables, and Xiaosun couldn't help, and was sitting smoking on the sidelines. The shed was blocked, and Jiang Yan should be cooking inside.
Wang Yuan adjusted the focus and looked around. It was almost full of trees, and only grass or rocks were exposed near the top of the mountain.
Suddenly, a bamboo forest was found on the opposite hillside. It turned out that the bamboo was right in front of me, but it was blocked by the trees below, so it was not found.
Wang Yuan quickly slid down and said, "Dahei, go, go back. I found bamboo."
"Where?"
"It's on the opposite hillside."
"Oh, if we cut trees there, wouldn't we have discovered it?"
"Hehe, yes." Wang Yuan scratched his head in embarrassment.
The two returned to the grass, breakfast was ready, and everyone began to eat.
Zhang Lanfang asked: "Captain, did you find anything?"
Wang Yuan pointed to the hillside to the west: "Yes! There is a bamboo forest over there."
"Huh? Haha, then our progress will be faster."
"Yes."
After everyone finished eating, Zhang Lanfang asked, "Captain, what are we doing today?"
"What supplies are there in the shelter?"
"There are only drinks left, those too
It's heavy, we didn't bring it yesterday. "
"Okay, today you ladies go to the sanctuary again and collect the fish cages. It is estimated that the sea water has ebbed. You have also cleaned up the puddles. Don't worry. If you have time, you can pick up some usable marine garbage. Just come back and cook before noon."
"Okay." The girls packed up their things and set off.
Wang Yuan flicked the cigarette butt: "Dahei, Xiaosun, let's go, let's chop bamboo."
"Okay." The three of them took tools and weapons and led the second king to the west hillside.
The slope of this hillside is not steep, and most of the trees outside are pines and cypresses. Although they are very thick, these trees are not suitable for building houses, so everyone did not choose to cut trees here at first.
"Captain, look, there are mushrooms!" Xiao Sun shouted happily.
Wang Yuan patted Xiao Sun on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Hehe, haven't you eaten enough yet?"
Xiao Sun knew that Wang Yuan was talking about the fact that he and his big sister Zhou had eaten mushrooms, so he smiled awkwardly: "Hey, actually, raw mushrooms are also delicious."
"Okay, don't make a fuss, there may be bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest. Let Sister Fang and the others come and pick them in the afternoon."
The three of them arrived at the bamboo forest. Strong bamboo is a good material for building houses.
"Captain, there really are bamboo shoots!" Xiao Sun yelled again.
"Okay, don't be surprised, as if you have never seen the world. The work of digging bamboo shoots is also left to the women."
Xiao Sun rubbed his nose and said, "Hehe, Captain, I've grown so big. Although I've eaten bamboo shoots, I've only seen bamboo shoots growing on the ground on TV."
"Okay, let's work. Let's cut three trees each."
The three of them started chopping bamboo.
After cutting the bamboo, Wang Yuan and Da Hei picked it up and left, but Xiao Sun couldn't lift it no matter what, and said anxiously: "Captain, this is too heavy."
"Hahaha..." Wang Yuan and Dahei laughed unkindly.
"Okay, Xiao Sun, this is going downhill, just drag it along."
After the three of them dragged the bamboo back, they asked Xiaosun to clean up the branches, and asked Dahei to chop wood for the pillars of the house.
First use a wooden stick to draw a line next to the shed, which is an east-west rectangle about five meters wide and twelve meters long.
Then start digging a hole, at least one meter deep, and at least twelve holes to be dug.
Of course at least ten
Two pillars, it will take a lot of energy and time for everyone.
After Xiaosun cleaned up the bamboo branches, he started to help Dahei chop wood. Fortunately, the three felled enough trees that day.
The pit was dug, and the pillars were cut. The three of them worked together to set up the pillars, and filled the pit with a lot of stones before burying it and stepping on it. After the twelve pillars were set up, I found a rope and measured the length of about 1.5 meters. I measured the height and used a hacksaw and a chisel to make a groove at the same height as the pillars, and then used wood to measure the groove. , and fix it horizontally with a mortise and tenon structure, which is to be used as a support for the attic floor.
The attic was divided into three rooms, all about the original rectangle, the width became long, and the three rooms were about five meters long and four meters wide.
After the framework was set up, the girls also came back.
Wang Yuan looked at his watch, it was already eleven o'clock.
"Hey! Captain, it looks like we can live in this house tonight." Ren Yuanyuan said in surprise after returning.
"It's okay to live in, but the follow-up things can't be sloppy."
"We all know that, don't worry."
"Okay, hurry up and cook, we're all hungry." Wang Yuan beckoned Dahei and Xiaosun to come down and wash their faces by the stream.
...
"There are a lot of seafood harvested today."
"Not much. We scoured the puddles, and there wasn't much there, but the fish cages harvested a lot of seafood." Ren Yuanyuan said.
"Well, let's do it, next time we'll put more rotten fish and rotten shrimp in the puddle after we've done the cleaning, this will attract more seafood."
...
After lunch, Zhang Lanfang asked: "Captain, do we have to go back to carry things in the afternoon?"
Wang Yuan said: "No need, let's do this, big sister Zhou and Mr. Jiang will stay and wash everyone's bedding. After all, they have been soaked in sea water. It will be more comfortable to wash off the salt. When drying, beat them with wooden sticks a few times." Next, make the cotton more fluffy and stop forming lumps."
Ren Yuanyuan couldn't wait to ask: "What about us?"
"Dahei, Xiaosun, take them to chop bamboo, and assign the tasks to you." Wang Yuan winked at Dahei and Xiaosun.
Xiao Sun understood: "Sister Fang, let's pack our equipment and set off."
Dahei cooperated very well with all the equipment and walked towards the west hillside.
Zhang Lanfang took Ren Yuanyuan and Zheng Liwan to Dahei and Xiaosun.
