Chapter 23 23. It’s time to pick wild vegetables!
When he finished a large bowl of salt and sugar water, Huaiyu breathed a long sigh of relief and felt as if he had strength again in his body.
She picked up the multi-purpose shovel and walked to the door again to sign.
Of course the toilet cannot be built next door to the house, so Huaiyu decided to use the place in the middle as an open-air warehouse -
Add a roof, and the dangerous hay in the tree house can be piled outside. The ceiling doubles as a corridor, and a toilet shed can be built on the other side.
In this way, you don’t have to worry about getting wet all the way on a rainy day.
She took a good look at the location and started to sort out the tree trunk.
Those twigs and twigs need to be cut off and piled aside temporarily so that they can be used as firewood later.
Follow that, find the “Y”-shaped branch points of the trunk branches and try to maintain the same height. Then put the thinner branches horizontally on the branches and fix them as many times as possible with tree vines and straw ropes.
Finally, two [匚] shapes turned 90° to the right appeared.
After Huaiyu measured the distance between the tree trunks, he directly dug a hole, dug a little deeper, and then stuck the tree trunks into the hole and fixed them directly.
It is a bit difficult to do this work alone, but the advantage is that it is only used for temporary transition, so although it is rough, the problem is not big.
When she overlapped the two beams above to form an [X] shape, the frame of the first shed was ready.
But it’s not over yet.
Four of the eight trees are used, and the upper beams are made of thinner treetops. Huaiyu thought for a while and set up the same frame again one meter apart.
By three o'clock in the afternoon the frame was completed.
The next step is to build the straw curtain.
Because we had to save tree trunks, the shed was only about 1.8 meters high. The total length of the two sheds and the open space in the middle was more than five meters.
To be honest, it’s quite spacious.
Especially because it was built by Huaiyu himself, it seems even more spacious.
But at a height of 1.8 meters, Huaiyu couldn't go up to cover the curtain, so he had to use stupid methods.
——Packing bricks.
She hummed and moved the red bricks and stacked them in piles in all directions. Finally, she was standing on a high place. The straw curtains were connected and tied tightly one by one. In order to prevent the rain from leaking due to her poor skills, she added more Covered with a layer.
Finally, I fixed it on the shed a second time and it couldn’t be pulled anymore, so I felt relieved.
The toilet occupies a quarter of the second frame.
The straw curtain hangs down on all four sides, is fixed on three sides, and leaves a door on the fourth side.
Looking from the outside, the blind spot is very large.
Waiting to enter the door, start digging a hole in the blind area, and dig out a deep rectangular pit about 60 cm long and 20 cm wide.
The excavated soil was not wasted. It was piled behind the squatting pit and a thick and long branch was placed next to it.
In this way, after using the toilet, you can directly use branches to pull a layer of soil into the pit and cover it.
The reason why he dug so deep was because Huaiyu didn't want to dig out the toilet. To this end, a row of twigs were inserted into the four sides of the pit to fix the soil layer to prevent the upper layer of soil from collapsing.
In this way, the toilet is completed!
She admired it back and forth, left and right, and finally went out. She took out the hay from the tree house in bundles and piled it in a row by the toilet door.
This way it will be more hidden. Perfect!
She is simply a genius!
But the genius is not done yet.
Others had to ram hard or pour cement to build the frame, but she didn’t buy anything, so she piled the bricks she had just used for stepping in a circle next to the eight tree roots, mainly for psychological comfort. .
The rest was not wasted and was directly spread on the ground.
Because it was not enough, I even moved it a few times, and finally the toilet was paved, leaving only the back for pulling dirt.
It was already dark.
These tasks may seem inconspicuous, but they are too laborious and time-consuming. But now Huaiyu looks at everything in front of him and feels that he is satisfied all day long.
From today on, her basic necessities, food, clothing, housing and transportation are finally all taken care of!
She lay back on the bed with a flashlight, without taking off her clothes, and fell asleep holding her sleeping bag.
In the night wind, the fragrance of roses mixed with rich water vapor spread all around, and the unique power in the fragrance slowly surged towards the tree house.
In the perforated brick [vase] at the head of the bed, the rose flower that added a lot of comfort to the wooden house also began to sway slowly.
But Huaiyu was lying there, breathing quietly, knowing nothing about any of this.
......
"Sneeze!"
Huaiyu sneezed hard, and then woke up in a haze. At this moment, the tree house was dark. , only the edge of the door reveals wisps of light.
She sat on the bed and froze for a while, and suddenly felt a chill. When she opened the door, a cold wind hit her face!
“Hiss!”
It’s so cold!
She quickly retracted and put on the newly bought down jacket, then took a deep breath and rolled up the door.
The next moment, she stayed still.
"It's raining..."
Last night when she fell into a deep sleep, it rained lightly in the middle of the night. Now there is a slight smell of earth in the air, the land is moist, and the grass and woods in the distance are actually covered with a layer of fluffy green!
Huaiyu turned around and looked inside the house. It was still dry and there was no water leakage.
Look at the shed and toilet on the side - they are intact! In perfect condition!
Only the red bricks on the edge have become darker in color, obviously coming into contact with rainwater.
The early morning broadcast had not yet started. Huaiyu looked at his watch. It was only seven o'clock. The Sanqing Mountain in the distance was shrouded in layers of mist. Even the petals of the rose corridor were wet, and the leaves were astonishingly green.
She stood there blankly, then suddenly turned around and entered the house after a moment -
“You can dig wild vegetables now!”
She was carrying a basket, and now she had multiple functions I didn’t even bring a shovel, so I just ran up the mountain.
Although the rain has stopped now, she doesn’t know if it will rain again today. She has to speed up!
She was already familiar with the roads when entering the mountains, but Sanqing Mountain was too big, and the roads that used to be used for people's movement had long been covered by plants. Huaiyu groped his way up and followed the previous mark. Not long after, he saw the pearl flower used to mark it!
After a spring rain, she was now in the mountains, and she could feel the impatience of all the plants and the power of their imminent sprouting.
The grass and trees will sprout and grow rapidly, and the roots will spread further. The pearl flower in front of her, just one day later, is now producing more dense leaves and buds!
She put down her backpack without saying a word, and now she pulled the branches, grabbing the green branches one by one. The movements couldn't be more joyful!
This tree is not too tall, but after all the Huaiyu trees were picked, half of the basket was piled up!
She looked at the bare branches, and then touched them carefully. With a slight surge of energy, she whispered softly:
"I'm sorry."
The next moment, pregnant Yu let go of his hand.
Because looking from this angle, you can actually see a piece of tender wild mushroom growing on the big tree trunk diagonally in front!
It’s a wild mushroom!
Here it comes!
The process of this chapter is a bit complicated. You can just understand it according to your own understanding. If I take the time, I will see if I can find a picture to accompany it. Sisters who can draw can also try it!
