Chapter 10: Digging holes, felling trees, and building houses (please recommend)
To build a wooden house that can live in the mountains for a long time in winter naturally requires a lot of thought and effort.Based on the experience of his previous life, Mu Shanhe, who planned to stay in the mountains to guard the ginseng garden, decided to build a new residence.

The location of the new residence is less than [-] meters away from the temporary wooden house.Taking into account the cold and warmth, Mu Shanhe finally decided to build a semi-buried wooden house and use the mountain to keep warm.

Although there is a lot of work, Mu Shanhe feels that now he does not have to go to school or work, so he has a lot of time.I found the tools I bought in the city before and started digging.The excavated soil is piled directly on the slope.

Looking at the construction area finally dug out after two days, Mu Shanhe felt that it was more than enough for him.The construction area is nearly [-] square meters, which will be reduced during subsequent construction, but it will definitely be enough for one person.

"The foundation has been dug, and all that's left is to find the wood. If we want to build a fire pit later, we have to find a way to get some bricks. At any rate, it will take nearly two years to live there. The better it is built, the more comfortable it will be to live in in the future. "

Mu Shanhe has more plans for building a new residence in his mind.Seeing the excavated foundation, he still enjoyed it even though the process was very hard.After all, this is his new home!
On the third day, Mu Shanhe took his hound Daqing and began to look for wood to build a wooden house in the jungle near the garden.Although there was a lot of wood in the mountains, he still planned to cut down as much dry wood as possible.

Looking at the collected wood, Mu Shanhe thought for a while and said, "I'd better go back to the village tomorrow. If I want to build a wooden house, I need to buy some tools and materials in the town. By the way, let's replenish some daily necessities!"

The hunting season has not yet come, and Mu Shanhe has not continued to dig ginseng in the mountains, so all living expenses have been settled on his own money.Fortunately, one person and one dog stay in the mountains, and there are no other extra expenses except food every day.

Before leaving the ginseng garden, Mu Shanhe spent another day picking all the ripe ginseng fruits in the ginseng garden.Although the quantity of these ginseng seeds is not large and the price is not very good, they are still a source of income.

When he led Daqing back to Xinmintun and took out the picked ginseng seeds, Mu Shanhe immediately said: "Daqing, you stay at home. I'll go to the village chief's house and I'll be back later."

After tying Daqing to the dog shed where he lived before, Mushanhe appeared again in the eyes of the villagers.When the villagers saw it, they all said in surprise: "Shanzi, where have you been running these past few days? You won't go into the mountains again, right?"

"I went to the mountains to look at the garden. The ginseng seeds came out. I have to pick them back!"

"Ah, you're the only one?"

"You can't ask someone to guard your garden, right?"

After chatting with the villagers for a few words, Mu Shanhe didn't stop too much.Although most of the villagers in the village are friendly to him.But sometimes, Mu Shanhe also knows that behind the kindness, the villagers are more compassionate.

Even behind his back, he was one of the protagonists who was talked about by the three aunts and six women in the village!

When he arrived at the village chief Mu Xingfu's house, the old man who had not gone out also said in surprise: "Xiao Shanzi, are you back?"

"Well, I just got home. Grandpa Mu, is there anyone in the village collecting ginseng seeds?"

Faced with Mu Shanhe's inquiry, Mu Xingfu also said directly: "No! However, someone from the town will come to collect it in two days. Has the ginseng in your garden produced seeds? How many are there?"

"About a hundred catties! I've memorized it all, and now it's all at home! Oh, Grandpa Mu, I found Daqing."

"What? Did you find Daqing? Did it run away to the ginseng garden?" Mu Xingfu also felt a little surprised when he learned that Mu Shanhe had found the missing hound.But after thinking about it, he felt that this was not a surprise.Because before Mu Xingye got sick, he often went to the ginseng garden to take care of the ginseng he planted.

A hound that cannot forget its master and dare not return to the countryside will definitely go to the place where its master used to stay during his lifetime.Thinking of this, Mu Xingfu also sighed, sometimes hounds are indeed more loyal and repaying kindness than people!
After a brief chat, Mu Xingfu finally agreed to help Mu Shanhe sell the harvested ginseng seeds.After Mu Shanhe returned to the village, he went to the town in the afternoon and purchased a batch of supplies again.

The next morning, he took the dog back to the mountains.Many villagers, looking at the man and the dog walking away, couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, is this child really not afraid of being alone in the mountains?"

"What's the use of being afraid? If he stays in the village, he won't be alone? It's all that damn Chen Shimei's fault, he has no conscience!"

"Why are you talking about that disgusting guy? I think Xiao Shanzi is finally sensible now. If he really learns his grandfather's skills, will he be afraid of not being able to find a wife in the future? I think this kid will definitely have a future. .”

Naturally, Mu Shanhe, who led his dog into the mountains, could not hear the villagers' comments.Although I came back, I stayed in the village for one night.But for some villagers in the village, it felt like they hadn't seen him for a long time.

Over a long period of time, the villagers will gradually get used to this situation.As time goes by, people in the village will surely recognize Mu Shanhe's ability to survive alone.From now on, when I go into the mountains alone, no one will say anything!

Returning to Mushanhe in the mountains, I first walked around the ginseng garden to confirm that there was nothing wrong, and quickly started to build a shelter.The collected wood also needs to be reprocessed and sawed into the length required for construction.

Where there are knots, they need to be flattened with an axe, and then placed on the horizontal wooden wall.Although there are earth walls on three sides of the residence, Mushan River filled the inside of the earth walls with wooden walls, further increasing the compactness of the residence.

Even the gaps between the later timbers, Mu Shanhe plans to fill them with moss.In this case, after the living and cooking fireplace is lit, the temperature in the house will continue to rise, making winter nights no longer so cold.

While Mu Shanhe was busy building a new residence every day, he suddenly sensed a situation in his mind that forced him to stop.Picking up the gun and the dog, Mu Shanhe quickly ran towards the forest behind him.

At this moment, in the jungle not far from the garden ginseng field, Lin Jiaxing, who went into the mountain to collect ginseng alone, looked at the poisonous snake disappearing in the grass and the wounds on his feet. He couldn't help but said with sadness: "Master Mountain God, I I didn’t offend you!”

He knew that the snake that bit him was a venomous snake, and he went into the mountains alone without any medicine that could dispel the snake's venom.Now bitten by a venomous snake, unless someone is nearby.Otherwise, his fate will definitely be death from poison.

This is why, during the ginseng picking season, many ginseng pickers like to go into the mountains in groups.Because no one knows when the accident will come.But once an accident occurs, alone, the sky may not respond, and the earth may not respond!

Although he knew he was in trouble, Lin Jiaxing still took off his belt and tied the bitten leg tightly.Even though he knew that this would not delay him for long, he was still unwilling to die quietly here.

"Is there anyone? Someone, help me!"

Lin Jiaxing, who did not dare to move around for fear of accelerating the onset of venom, could only shout loudly, hoping that someone nearby would hear his cry for help.Unfortunately, no matter how he called, he seemed to get no response.

Just when Lin Jiaxing felt dizzy and the snake venom started to attack, the sudden sound of a dog barking in the distance instantly made him feel excited about surviving a desperate situation.It even made him feel that his previous pleas for mercy from the Mountain God had finally been answered.

He hurriedly called for help again, but when he saw only one person and one dog coming, his mood fell to the bottom again.With the young man in front of me, even if I find him in danger and want to save his life, I'm afraid there's nothing he can do!
