Traveling through the world of beasts: I light up my survival skills in the wild

Chapter 99 Shell Roof
The soreness on Su Ran's body gradually began to improve after a few days of the same high-intensity labor.

She almost gritted her teeth and endured the first few days.

And when the most difficult days passed, her body seemed to gradually get used to such high-intensity activities.

After a busy day, she didn't feel any soreness except that she was a little tired.

And it's not just that.

Her technique of laying bricks has also become more and more proficient, and her speed has gradually begun to increase.

Su Ran even thought that if one day she suddenly traveled back to the earth and couldn't find a job, she could also be a construction worker...

On the second day after starting to build the foundation, Hui also started to learn how to lay bricks with Su Ran.

Up to now, although its movements are still a little unskilled, because of its great strength, its speed when picking up stone bricks is much faster than Su Ran, so it is not much slower than Su Ran overall.

Occasionally, when Su Ran looked at the ash piled up with stone bricks, and then at the house that gradually formed a frame in front of her, she would always feel a magical feeling from the bottom of her heart.

The kind of thing that builds a house with tools and processed materials in a primitive and wild world seems to be very inconsistent with this wild world.

The progress of a large project will be extremely slow when there are few workers.

Su Ran and Hui spent another month slowly grinding away the frame of the house.

Except for two days of rest due to the rain, and then Su Ran had her period again and took a few days off, Su Ran and Hui rushed to work almost all day long.

And when Su Ran had her period this time, although Hui's reaction was still very nervous, she was no longer so flustered.

It was daytime when Su Ran had her period this time.

When she was washing her hands by the river and preparing to eat breakfast, she suddenly felt something strange under her body, and before she could react, Ash also smelled it very quickly.

When it smelled something strange about Su Ran, it first frowned, with a puzzled look on its face.

Then the expression on his face changed, as if he remembered something, he immediately bent down and carried Su Ran back to the bird's nest.

Then during this period, Su Ran felt again, the feeling of being taken care of like a fragile doll.

Although it didn't express its worry this time with a heart-piercing wail like it thought Su Ran had died like last time, it still stayed by Su Ran's side almost every step of the way.

Even Su Ran didn't want it to continue building the house by itself first, but stubbornly wanted to hug Su Ran and use her body to keep her warm.

In the end, Su Ran had no other choice, and the warm temperature of Hui's body was really comfortable against her body, so she just let it go!

And maybe because of the previous experience, Su Ran felt that the comfort she felt in being taken care of this time was obviously much better than last time.

This made her a little chuckle.

I am secretly delighted that the orc I met is it!

After her period was over, Su Ran devoted herself to building a house again.

Nearly a month after starting to build the house, the main frame of the house was finally completed.

Su Ran looked at the nearly three-meter-high brick wall in front of her, tears filled her eyes with excitement, and she almost shed tears!

Finally almost done!
To be honest, looking at the frame of the house that is only one step away, Su Ran is still a little proud of herself from the bottom of her heart!
After the main frame of the house was completed, Su Ran took the ashes to the beach to pick up shells for two days and came back.

She wanted to use shells to make the outermost layer of tiles on the roof, but because all the shells she collected before were used to make homemade cement, she had to collect some more if she wanted to make tiles.

After collecting, Su Ran started to take charcoal, draw marks on the wood that had been prepared before, and then dig out mortise and tenon on it.

Su Ran didn't have nails, so the beams and the roof had to be constructed with mortise and tenon.

After the beam was put on the room, Su Ran had to lay a layer of wooden planks on the beam.

And these wooden boards are made of the giant trees that Ash and Ah Huo found at the beginning.

In order to saw these giant trees, Su Ran also took out the jigsaw from the tool bag.

As a result, the jigsaw was broken on the wood after less than three days of use, which made Su Ran feel distressed.

In the end, the ashes could only be planed directly with their claws.

As for why the saw blade on the multi-function ax is not used, it is because the saw blade is too short, and the blade is not even half the diameter of these trees.

And Su Ran was worried that if the saw blade was broken, she would have no tools to saw wood.

After all, the saw knife is not easy to make with other things.

When installing the beams, except for Xiaoju and Ajin who happened to come to help in the last two days, Su Ran and Hui basically installed the rest by themselves.

It was not difficult to transport the beams with their mortises dug out to the roof, and Hui himself could fly up to a whole log.

The hard part is how to fit those planks to the beams.

Under normal circumstances, there are mortise holes on the beams, and tenons should be left on the wooden boards when they are made.

But if it is necessary to leave a small protruding piece of wood on the board when sawing out the board, this technique is really a bit embarrassing for Su Ran.

In the end, Su Ran sat on the wood and thought about it for a long time. At noon, she remembered that there was another way to connect two pieces of wood together.

Now the wood for the beams of the house has holes dug out.

So Su Ran directly dug out holes of the same size on the wooden board where they could be opposite to the holes on the beams.

Then align the mortises on the two different pieces of wood, saw out a piece of wood the same size as the mortise, and nail it in from the two stacked mortises.

After nailing, Su Ran shook the wooden boards connected to the beams.

Not moving.

perfect!

So according to this method, Su Ran and Hui covered the roof with wooden planks in only one day.

After paving, Su Ran spread a layer of fine sand on top of the planks, and then sealed the top layer with homemade cement.

Then came the last step.

She pressed the shells she picked up one by one, and stuck them on the roof of the house with the wet cement.

Not even the chimney standing on the roof was spared.

The reason for putting the shells was not only that Su Ran wanted the shells to play a decorative role, but also that although the roof was sealed with a layer of cement, she didn't know how waterproof the cement was.

So putting a layer of shells on it can also act as a layer of water release.

For this, Su Ran was extra careful when pressing the shells into the cement.

After all, she didn't want to finish the house with great difficulty, and within a few days of living there, it was raining continuously outside and light rain inside!
