Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 442 The Method of Cutting Ice

The ice cave is only two meters away from the shore, and half a person's depth. If it is normal, it will not be difficult for the mother clouded leopard.But today's temperature is around zero, what would it feel like to fall into the cold ice water.

This guy tried to climb up the ice layer, but as soon as his claws touched the edge of the hole, the thin layer of ice began to shatter.

The grass leopard was caught off guard and fell into the bottom again.After several times in a row, it probably drank a lot of water, and its movements became more and more sluggish.

At this time, Liu Junhao finally woke up from his surprise, and he couldn't delay any longer, otherwise the cloud leopard would probably drown after another 2 minutes of tossing, so he hurried to the opposite side of Shuikuzi.

Of course, Liu Junhao was not so stupid as to jump directly into the ice water to save the clouded leopard, but grabbed a big rock on the bank and smashed it hard on the ice.

With a "click", all the thin ice within a few meters was shattered, and then he grabbed a nearby branch and stretched it out.The clouded leopard was smart, and immediately opened its mouth to bite the other end of the branch.

The desire to survive made him struggle in the water, and when he climbed to the shore, he was already dying, and his wet body collapsed on the ground, looking exhausted.

Seeing that the clouded leopard's belly was swollen, it was obvious that he drank a lot of ice water. Liu Junhao didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly asked everyone to light a fire to dry its fur, otherwise this guy would be frozen out if he didn't die.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of firewood at the foot of the mountain, and everyone who reacted immediately went to pull the wormwood in the grass.At this time, the roots of the wormwood have decayed and it is easy to pull them up.With little effort, they've unplugged a whole bunch.

It just rained heavily yesterday, and the wormwood was so wet that it couldn't be ignited at all.But Liu Junhao couldn't be bothered. He lived in Liujiagou since he was a child, so he naturally knew where to find firewood.I turned my head and took a few glances, and soon found a few handfuls of dry stuttering grass under a few rocks.

After checking the direction of the wind, Liu Junhao lit the stuttering grass with a lighter.When the flames grew, he carefully stroked some wormwood leaves and added them.

After the fire was completely ignited, he asked everyone to cover their heads with wormwood.

Soon the monstrous angry smoke shot straight into the sky, leaving a clear column of smoke in the air.

Although the weather was gloomy at this time, the smoke was still discovered by the villagers.Liu Guangju thought that the mountain was on fire, so the leader hurried over with his fellows.

After hearing what just happened here, Liu Guangju also clicked his tongue in admiration, saying that the fox has become a spirit!
Grass Leopard was a little afraid of fire, so he didn't dare to move forward... This guy must have drank a lot of ice water, and the hot and cold taste was naturally uncomfortable, so he vomited a lot on the ground as soon as he stood up tremblingly.

After tossing for a long time, the clouded leopard almost didn't even have the strength to stand up, so naturally there was no way to shoot.

Liu Junhao was also afraid that it would cause problems if it continued to stay in the wild, so he simply reached out and picked up the clouded leopard, and let a few leopard cubs follow him home.The female clouded leopard's body weighs only a few dozen kilograms, so it doesn't take much effort to hug it.

"What's wrong with Cloud Leopard?" Zhang Qian asked in surprise.He didn't expect her husband to take Yunbao back when he went out for a trip.

"It's nothing, I fell into the water just now." Liu Junhao sent Yunbao upstairs, and then briefly told his wife what happened just now.

"I knew that the clouded leopard couldn't beat the fox, it's really cunning..." At this moment, Zhang Qian had a foresight, as if she had been optimistic about the raccoon a long time ago.

Liu Junhao didn't have time to listen to his wife showing off. He always paid attention to the movements of the grass leopard, for fear that this guy would suffer from sequelae.

Lucky Leopard's physique was stronger than he had imagined. After resting for half a day and one night, he brought a few leopard cubs to the courtyard again early the next morning.

* * *
After three days of gloom, the weather finally cleared up.

The ice on the ground, under eaves, and on top of trees began to melt rapidly.After half a day, puddles of water were left on the ground.

Liu Junhao was afraid that his wife would slip while walking in the yard, so he had already shoveled off the ice on the ground, so there were not many puddles in his yard.On the dirt road in front of the door, Liu Guangju deliberately asked someone to pad it with sand. After the ice water melted, it was completely immersed in the sand, and it had become half dry in half a day.

Just when the ice on the ground had just melted, just when everyone thought the weather should be getting warmer, heavy snow fell.

The heavy snow fell intermittently for a whole week. According to the weather forecast on the Internet, heavy snow fell all over the country. This kind of weather will last at least half a month.

It was even colder at night, and the temperature dropped to several degrees below zero.Fortunately, the snow that fell on the ground was quickly shoveled off by Liu Junhao, and then a thin layer of sand was sprinkled on the ground, so naturally it did not freeze.However, the thin ice in the ditch hadn't melted in the first place, and the snowflakes that fell on it for several days had no time to melt, and soon condensed into an ice layer, which was more than ten centimeters thick in a few days.

Now Liu Junhao is completely busy. When he gets up every day, he has to go to the yard to sweep snow, and then he has to go to the ditch to break the ice so that the waterfowl can eat.

He once sneaked a look at the stone lock, but he didn't expect that there was also a thin layer of ice forming in the stone lock.Liu Junhao found it fresh, and it was the first time he saw ice forming in the stone lock.

But when you think about it, it is understandable that the temperature in the stone lock is generally a few degrees higher than the outside world.Now it's several degrees below zero outside, so the temperature inside the stone lock can't be higher.

The pond where the spring is located has not frozen over, and is still bubbling outwards uninterruptedly.

Liu Junhao deliberately touched the temperature in the pond with his hand. It was cold on the side, but the place near the spring was a bit hot, just like a geothermal hot spring.

He couldn't help but take off his clothes and soak in it for half an hour. When he got up from the spring water, his whole body was itchy, and he felt very comfortable, even his skin was a little more delicate.

There are so many benefits of this spring water, it's a pity that I can't bring my wife in to soak in the hot spring together.But Liu Junhao has a way. When his wife boils water to take a bath at night, he is lazy and saves trouble, and directly pours several large basins of spring water into the bathtub.Zhang Qian also exclaimed comfort after taking a bath, and even said that it is good to take a hot bubble bath in winter.

In the morning, Liu Junhao had just finished cleaning the yard, and was picking up the shovel to break the ice outside the yard, when he found that Professor Zhao was already standing by the pit, busy driving.This old man has nothing to do all day long, and every time he breaks the ice, he comes to help, just as a way of exercising.

Liu Junhao yelled early, grabbed the shovel and threw it down, but only a white mark was printed on the ice, not even a crack.

"Damn, it's so thick!" He didn't believe in evil, and hit it hard with a shovel.The arm was numb from the shock, but the ice layer was still intact.

"Hehe, I tried it just now, and I guess today's ice is not easy to hit." Mr. Zhao shook his head with a smile.

"It's so thick, it should be able to occupy people, right?" Liu Junhao tried to stand on the ice: he didn't hear the cracking sound of the ice, and then he boldly put his feet on it.Sure enough, there is no problem.

Liu Junhao's childishness increased greatly, and he pounded hard on the ice with a shovel, and his feet slid on the ice for more than three meters.

"It's really possible." Mr. Zhao was also a little moved, and stepped on the ice tentatively.He didn't dare to skate like Liu Junhao, but walked on it cautiously.

Under the heavy snow cover, the ice surface is bare, and there are no blocking objects, which is very suitable for skating.Liu Junhao became more and more excited as he slipped, and he didn't even know when his daughter-in-law would walk out of the gate.

"Zhizhi..." Wukong couldn't help jumping on the ice when he saw that his master was having fun.The guy shivered as soon as his paws touched the ice, and then hurriedly jumped to the shore, wrapping the white scarf around his shoulders tighter.

A few days ago, seeing the cold weather, Zhang Qian got some wool to make a new scarf for her husband, but the monkeys saw it and rushed to ask for it.Seeing that there was still a lot of wool left, she simply made a pocket version for Wukong.Unexpectedly, this guy started to show off immediately after wearing it around his neck, and he was in front of the mirror all day long. Zhang Qian also took a lot of photo albums for the monkey.

"Quack..." The group of green villas were waiting for their master to break the ice on the shore, but after waiting for a long time without any movement, they began to chatter anxiously.

Hearing Qingzhuang croaking around them, Liu Junhao remembered the matter of breaking the ice.

"What should I do?" Professor Zhao tried to throw a rock down, but the ice still remained motionless.

"It's useless. The ice is about [-] centimeters deep. We need to find iron drills." Liu Junhao said after thinking about it.

"Iron brazier?!" Professor Zhao didn't know what to do with the iron brazier.

"Use an iron drill to drill a hole in the ice, and then insert a wooden stick to dig it out. The iron drill is what we use when we build a house and lay the foundation..."

This ice-cutting method was common to Liu Junhao when he was a child, mainly for fishing.

It was a big scene at that time, and all the men, women and children of the village stood by the weir pond and waited to pick up fish.Before cutting the ice, put several door panels on the ice layer, which is mainly to prevent the ice layer from bursting suddenly and someone falling into the water.

After the position is fixed, several stick laborers stand on the door panel.One person held the iron chisel, while the others swung a sledgehammer and smashed it down until the ice was pierced.

Four or five holes were dug in a row, and then everyone held down the iron drill and worked hard to uncover the ice layer.

Of course, there is another way to break the ice with stone rams. Stone rams are also a tool used by people to build houses in the past, and they are very simple to make.Grind the stone into a cuboid, and then drill four holes at both ends to fasten well ropes.Of course, the stone must be an earthquake-resistant strip stone, and ordinary stones will be broken after a few hits.

In the past, when building a house, stone rams were used to harden the foundation, which is somewhat similar to today's vibrator.When ramming, you must shout slogans to adjust the rhythm, otherwise it is easy to sprain your waist.

"Going to the village to look for iron drills?" Professor Zhao asked.

"Why do you need to use your brain a little bit?" Liu Junhao pointed to his head and replied, "Next, I will give you a non-mainstream ice-breaking method."

"Nonsense, what can you do?" Although Professor Zhao didn't believe it, he was looking forward to his performance.

"You wait, I'll go back to the house and get ready." Liu Junhao spoke in plain language, and directly dragged his wife into the house.

He intends to use gunpowder to explode the ice... Liu Junhao also has profound attainments in playing with gunpowder.The most proud thing back then was the successful "development" of Xiaolong Cannon Fried Fish after deliberation.But this thing is too dangerous, once when he and Liu Qiyong were frying fish, they almost blew themselves up, and then they didn't dare to do it again.
