Desert Island Survival Diary

Chapter 152 No.80 Seven Days, Plan

Brother Qian took away Ying Yuefeng who was still reluctant to leave in the vegetable field. They were going to cut down trees. It was already afternoon, and only by hurrying could they get the tree trunks they needed to build a house...

I gave them both axes and knives. If they take turns cutting and transporting small trees, the speed should be very fast.Originally, I was also planning to go together, but later I thought that if they used their stone axes to chop small trees, it would be very slow and inefficient. The five of them were enough, so I didn't go with them.

Of course, there is another reason, that is, my earthen kiln has been completed, and I just need to put those tile embryos into it for firing.This is a big deal for me.

Carefully put the tile embryos and the small pocket water tank into the stove. I was afraid that the porous lid would not be able to bear the weight of the eight tile embryos, but fortunately, it could bear it.

This is the first firing and the most meaningful one. If successful, we will be able to have tile roofs in the future.If it fails, then you can gain some firing experience, at least you can find the reason for the firing failure, so that you can succeed next time.

The fire was ignited, and as the branches kept being put in, the fire began to grow stronger and stronger in the kiln, and the tongue of fire had spread to the furnace above.Finally, the big cover was finally picked up by me, and I carefully covered it.

The big lid was just dried clay and hadn't been fired yet, so when it was about to be placed on the top of the stove, a small piece of the edge of the lid that I was holding on to in my right hand shattered.I slipped my hand and the lid fell off the top of the stove.Fortunately, it didn't fall directly on the ground, otherwise it would definitely shatter directly.If the lid is broken, then today's firing plan will have to be stopped. Fortunately, no, luck is not bad.

Only a piece the size of the mouth of a bowl fell off the lid, but it didn't affect the use.As the twigs were stuffed into the kiln bit by bit, the flame inside became more and more intense and the temperature became higher and higher.Burning a fire in the earth pit also became miserable. The heat waves no longer came in waves, but swarmed up continuously. In a short period of time, my whole body was drenched in sweat.

Because the temperature in the pit was too high, I had to climb out of the pit several times in order to cool down my hot skin quickly.I even regret that I dug the firewood pit too small. If it was bigger, it wouldn't be so hot.In such a narrow space, the temperature emanating from the kiln is really terrifying.

I can only go in and add some firewood, and then climb out of the pit immediately, and repeat.When I was busy, Ye Qingchen and Ying Yuefeng, who were in charge of transporting the trees, came back. They saw my strange behavior, and came over to inquire about it carefully.And after hearing me say that I was firing tiles, I was too shocked to speak.But I also know very well that they are more likely to be suspicious. Both of them showed suspicion at the beginning. If it weren't for the fact that they are not very familiar with each other, they probably would have started to scold them long ago.

Finally, after the two of them looked at each other, they left and continued to move their trees. In just two hours, a lot of their small trees had been cut down.It is estimated that before dark, the tree trunks they need will be almost even, and even if they are not, the gap will not be very big.

It has been four hours, and the entire surface of the stove is already too hot. If you stick a piece of bacon on it at this time, it may not be long before it can be cooked. This is simply a natural oven, with a distance of one meter around the stove. It's so hot inside that I can't even get close.Even after drinking a lot of water, my mouth still feels very dry.

According to the notebook, as long as the stove is completely cooled, the tiles inside can be taken out. Whether it is successful or not, there may be no way to know today, but there is no way, we can only wait for the stove to cool down slowly .

After working for several hours, I sweated a lot, and my whole body seemed to be hollowed out, so I lay down on the ground and rested.Unexpectedly, I fell asleep not long after I lay down.When he woke up again, he was woken up by Ye Qingchen.

At this time, it was completely dark. I didn't expect the time to pass so quickly. I just felt like I was squinting for a while. At most, I just wanted to take a nap, and I didn't want to sleep.

When I sat up, I realized that a bonfire had already been lit in the yard, and all of them sat around and prepared dinner.The staple food is the porridge that I cooked at noon. They also caught a few coconut crabs from somewhere, and they were all baked.

I added some kelp and shellfish to the seafood soup left over at noon and cooked it again. Seeing me coming, Brother Qian and the others also wanted to say hello to me.It seems that they are waiting for me to eat together.

"Brother Luo, I heard Xiao Yezi say, are you burning tiles?" Seeing me sitting next to him, Brother Qian asked as soon as he sat down.

"Yeah, we will know the result tomorrow. If the firing is successful, the roof of our new house will not have to worry about rain leakage. It can be paved with tiles."

"Really? What kind of clay did Brother Luo use to fire it? I haven't seen any clay nearby before?"

"Termite nest!"

"Oh? Then if it's true what Brother Luo said, it is really possible to succeed. The termite nest is indeed very sticky. Well, I wish Brother Luo success, so that we can all borrow money. I will thank Luo for everyone sitting here. Brother." After finishing speaking, everyone looked at me, and they didn't know why, but they were all taken by Brother Qian to say thank you.

I know very well that there must be quite a few people who don't believe it will be successful, but it's pointless to say more. You can know the result tomorrow when you open the lid, but I'm a little nervous inside, because during the firing, there were several noises in the furnace. There was a loud explosion. I don't know if it was the sound of the tiles bursting, or the furnace wall was cracked after being burned by high temperature. It is difficult to guess, and we can only wait for tomorrow.

Brother Qian is also very aware of Xiao Hei's position in my heart, so when distributing food, he also gave Xiao Hei a share. When he saw me feeding Lightning, he was also very curious and wanted to take it from me. Lightning feeds, but alas, Lightning, though small, doesn't like anyone but me.Although there are only a few teeth, when Brother Qian hugged it, he was bitten hard by it. It had no power, but it shocked Brother Qian. What's even more funny is that no matter how Brother Qian fed or comforted him , Lightning didn't even take a bite, and kept turning his head to return to my arms... Finally, Brother Qian also put aside his curiosity and returned Lightning to me, which made everyone laugh.

After dinner, Brother Qian began to arrange the tasks. Tomorrow morning, he would start excavating the foundation of the new house, making mortise and tenon joints on the tree trunks, so that every joint could be very firm.

At the same time, he also pointedly pointed out the problem of my current tree house, which is not strong enough.According to what Brother Qian said, there should be no problem for this tree house to withstand another non-catastrophic typhoon, but at most it can withstand one more time. When the next time, even if the power is halved, this tree house will have a big problem .

Of course, I also want to know what causes my tree house to be unable to withstand the force of the typhoon.

It’s no surprise that Brother Qian was born as a professional, so he pointed out all the problems he thought. For example, houses without mortise and tenon will easily fall apart. It will not exceed two months at most, and all vines will lose their toughness due to high-intensity use. , wear out, and then break apart.

That is to say, as long as the time is up, the service life of my tree house will be over. Brother Qian also thinks that there is something wrong with my roof frame. He also said that I was lucky last time. The roof made will be swept away immediately.There is simply no other possibility.

And he also saw the cable I tied to the big tree. He smiled and said that I don’t know how hungry I am. As long as this kind of cable is taken apart, it can still be used safely.There is no need to worry about the separated cables breaking so easily.

In addition, he also found the clay stove in the tree house very ugly, which made me a little depressed. After all, it was the first time I did this kind of thing, so I would know so much.But what he said next put me at ease.He told me not to worry, and put up their house first, and when there is a formal house, he said that he would help my tree house to be remodeled, and even be refurbished according to my ideas.

Everyone chatted excitedly by the fire, and even the latrine was brought up.The Maokeng existed before, and it was also built by Brother Qian. The troublesome thing about this place is that it rains a lot. If it is not done well, the yard will be "flooded by the Yellow River!"

And they are still discussing how big the house is, how many floors should be built, what it will be used for, and how to allocate it. They are all discussing with each other.Of course, Midakon still sat on the side and watched them quietly without expressing any opinions.

……

In this kind of chatting environment, it is easy for people to forget the passage of time. Before they know it, it is already midnight, and the moon is already afraid of rising to the sky. I have seen Ye Qingchen and the others yawn several times.

They all refused at first to let them sleep in the tree house.Later, under my repeated invitations, several talents came to the tree house, but they did not agree to the invitation to rest on the upper floor of the tree house. Instead, they used the hay rolls they brought and spread them on the ground of the lower floor. getting ready to sleep.

These hay rolls are made at "01:30" a little bit.It has become a quilt for everyone...

As soon as I went back to the upper floor to lie down, the snoring sound from the lower floor of the tree house started one after another. Everyone was tired. In order to catch up with the progress today, everyone must have exhausted all their strength.

Lying on the quilt, I read the notebook by the light of the honeycomb candle, wanting to see if I made any mistakes in the process of making tiles, but after a while, I became sleepy and my eyelids drooped uncontrollably Down, also fell asleep.

But I didn't sleep well, and I dreamed that someone was chasing me several times... Every time I woke up, I had to calm down my nervous mood, and I repeated this several times before finally falling asleep.Before going to bed, I was also thinking, is it because I am too defensive?

　Today's chapter is more than 3000 words, what is missing will be filled tomorrow, I feel a little uncomfortable today...
