After I crossed the interstellar space, I survived in the wilderness and engaged in infrastructure c

Chapter 16: It's time to catch a cold
First, she used 8 stakes to mark a circle with a diameter of about 2.5 meters, and then tapped the stakes with stones to dig holes for the piles. The depth of the pile holes should be about 25 centimeters.

Then insert 8 small saplings about three fingers thick and 3 meters high into the pile holes.

The reason why this kind of cork is chosen is that it has good toughness and does not require much time and effort to cut.

Su Meng first crossed the tops of the two opposing saplings and tied them with vines to form an arch. Then he made the other six saplings in the same way and tied the tops in the opposite order.

Finally, place a branch horizontally between the two young saplings, about one meter above the ground, and fix it with vines at both ends.

This branch is the door frame.

A skeleton about two meters high and shaped like a flower bud appeared in the open space.

Then the treated thatch, that is, palm leaves, is tied to the skeleton layer by layer, and the palm leaf hut is completed.

The reason why Su Meng chose to build this kind of shelter was actually after careful consideration.

First of all, this kind of hut is easy to build, not to mention only a few tools and materials, and it takes a short time to build it in just one hour.

Secondly, the spire of the palm-leaf hut is about 2.5 meters wide and about 2 meters high. This shape can keep out the rain, exhaust smoke well, and keep heat. The internal space is large enough to accommodate a bed, fire pit, firewood and tools.

As long as it is properly maintained, this hut can still be used to store some supplies after they move to the new shelter.

"Isn't this leaking?" Du Jiayue looked at the slender palm leaves with a suspicious tone.

"Don't worry, there will be no water leakage." Su Meng's tone was very confident, and she explained: "The leaves of palm leaves have drip tips, which is to prevent rainwater from staying on the leaves for too long to breed algae, which is why palm leaves can Makes a good reason for thatch, and this type of thatch lasts about two years."

"So long?" Du Jiayue was surprised.

Su Meng was already doing roofing at this time, and she replied with a smile: "It will only be a transition for a long time, we can't live in the palm leaf hut forever."

"In a few days we will live in a hut with fence and stone walls, the kind with a kang, and then the palm leaf thatched hut will be used to store firewood. I will try to move us into a brick house that is warm in winter and cool in summer before summer."

Hearing this, Du Jiayue couldn't help laughing. Although she didn't believe it in her heart, she still raised a bright smile, showing two small canine teeth, and said very cooperatively: "Yes! If it is useful Go to my place, Sister Meng, you can order directly."

On the other hand, Su Xiang, who was still building a palm leaf hut, rolled his eyes again and again.

He felt that Su Meng was torturing him on purpose, insisting that he build another palm leaf hut.

Wouldn’t it be enough to have just one temporary shelter? Anyway, the space inside is so big, and it’s not like it can’t sleep five people, so it’s said that “men and women are different”.

Laughing to death, it's not like sleeping on the same bed with a sleeping bag in each person's hands, okay? !

"We're back!" Zhang Lin and Bo Jing walked back holding seven or eight bundles of palm leaves.

They have collected about 1500 leaves and [-] palm cores, more than what Su Meng requested.

And they're really pissed off.

Although drinking two pots of water relieved the symptoms of imminent dehydration, the intense labor load, coupled with not eating for a day, still made them a little weak and weak.

Really tired and thirsty and hungry and sleepy.

"I have some good news for you." Zhang Lin smiled mysteriously, showing his white teeth: "We have meat to eat tonight!"

After finishing speaking, he pulled out a coiled black snake from his waist as if offering a treasure.

The snake's head had been cut off, and the remaining body was about as long as an arm, which was thinner than the cauliflower snake that Su Meng killed.

"It was Bo Jing who killed him. He is so powerful." Zhang Lin looked excited, and praised sincerely and admiringly: "When we were chopping palm leaves, this snake suddenly jumped out, and then Bo Jing took The hatchet chopped off its head, and I didn't even react."

Hearing Zhang Lin's praise, Bo Jing scratched his head in embarrassment, and stammered: "I was naughty when I was young, and I often went down the river to fish for shrimps, and climbed trees to dig out bird eggs, so I recognize this kind of snake. , it’s a cauliflower snake, it’s not poisonous, I’ve eaten it before, and it’s delicious.”

"I also have some good news to tell you." Du Jiayue took the snake and said with a smile: "Su Meng also caught a snake just now, and it has been peeled and processed. Tonight we will eat wild vegetables and stewed snake meat!"

Du Jiayue took the initiative to take on the role of "cook" because she felt that she didn't do much today.

"Okay, then I'll go to the pool to deal with the snake, and bring back some water." Su Meng just drank the water and rested for a while, and now feels that her physical strength has recovered by [-]% to [-]%, "By the way, Jiayue, you and me this time Let's go to the pool together, and bring the towel."

The so-called towels are actually two palm-sized pieces of cloth cut from the two beach pants.

"Okay!" Du Jiayue responded readily, and took the initiative to pick up two steel pots: "Su Meng, let me take the pot. You will have to explore the road later, and it is inconvenient to hold the steel pot."

Su Meng didn't fight for it either. Holding a wooden stick in one hand and a hatchet in the other, she led the way. At the end, she didn't forget to tell Zhang Lin, Bai Jing, and Su Xiang not to go to the water pool until they came back.

With the three of them stunned, Su Meng said confidently: "Our work is basically over today, and now I'm going to take a bath in the pool with Jiayue. After all, I'm sweating all over, so I'll sleep in my sleeping bag if I don't take a bath." , The whole person is rotten the next day, and I am a beautiful girl who can't bear this grievance."

The two walked one after the other. When they passed the giant dragon bamboo forest, Du Jiayue suddenly said, "Su Meng, why don't we just build a bamboo house? Didn't the training teacher say that bamboo is the best building in the wild?" Materials?"

Su Meng smiled and said: "It takes too much time to build a bamboo house. We don't have enough time, and the weather is still very cold. If we sleep in a bamboo house, even if we have sleeping bags to keep warm at night, we may catch a cold."

She definitely wanted to build the bamboo house, but not at this time.

Anyway, before the weather gets hot, they will definitely be able to move into the bamboo house.

Du Jiayue nodded half-understood, and then asked: "Is it too early for us to take a bath now? We have to cook later, and we might sweat again by then, so it's not a waste of time to take a bath." ?"

"No, it will be dark in a while, and this is the wilderness, the water in the wilderness is similar to well water, and it will be cold to the bones at night."
