Survival in the Wild: Master of Quests

After spending ten minutes marking all four pillars, Ye Qing took the stone axe again, cut off the excess part at the end of the wooden strip, and then flattened it with a machete.

Immediately afterwards, he took the machete and began to cut the end of the wooden bar, directly cutting the end of the wooden bar into a “concave” glyph from the middle, mainly so that it could fit the beam later.

After that, in the position reserved for the mortise eye earlier, according to the size of the wooden strip, a horizontal “concave” character was cut out.

Because there is no chisel now, he can only do this, cut both logs into a “concave” shape, let them bite, and can also have the same fit effect.

Tossed all the remaining four pillars like the first one, then picked up the wooden strip and put it in the middle of the pit, supported it by himself, and asked Zhao Ling and Furney to help fill in the soil dug up earlier.

However, as we all know, if you dig a pit in the ground, it is impossible to fill the pit with the excavated soil later, so in the process of filling the pit, Zhao Ling and Furni need to move a lot of fine stones from the nearby woods and mix them with the soil to fill in.

This not only fills the pit, but also increases the hardness.

When the two women filled the pit, Ye Qing let go, and then found a large stone to smash it on the ground and compacted the newly filled soil.

After all four pillars were standing in the deep pit, two hours had passed, and there was still some time left before lunch, Ye Qing handed the machete to Furni, asking her and Zhao Ling to go to the bamboo forest to cut the bamboo, while he beckoned Xiao Hei to hide in the woods again with a stone axe.

The wooden strips cut back before were basically about fifteen meters in length, but now the length of the house has reached about twenty meters, and the original wooden strips are simply not enough, so he can only cut some more wood to use as beams and the like.

Fortunately, the most important thing on this island is wood, and after casually walking around the woods, he found the big tree he wanted.

This is another tree different from the eight logs cut before, Ye Qing still can’t name it, but he is too lazy to use navigation glasses to see, anyway, it can be used, there is no need to entangle so much.

He mainly selects trees of similar size to the pillars that were cut back yesterday, and such flowers are more convenient to deal with later.

After about two hours of busy work, Ye Qing cut a total of more than a dozen pieces of wood, if it was only used to make beams, it was definitely more than enough.

Seeing that the time was almost up, he stopped.

This time he did not bring back to the cave, he directly peeled and cut it into strips in place, mainly because the bark of this tree burns up and emits a lot of smoke, which is good as a signal, but if it is burned in the cave, it will have to smoke people to death.

More than a dozen pieces of wood were all cut, carried back, and several hours passed, the time was in the afternoon, the stomach was hungry, see that the two women are still chopping bamboo, mainly Funi is responsible for chopping, Zhao Ling is responsible for carrying, this will be outside the bamboo forest, next to the four pillars, a lot of bamboo has been piled up.

Of course, it was still far from enough, but Ye Qing still beckoned them back.

The sky and the earth are big, and the meal is the biggest.

The mechanical watches on Zhao Ling’s hands were already pointing to more than three o’clock in the afternoon, and the two women had long been hungry, but Ye Qing had not come back for a long time, and it was not good for them to go back first.

After returning to the cave, Zhao Ling went to prepare something to eat, but without letting the two help, Ye Qing finally had time to rest.

Furni sat on the bamboo chair and said, “It seems that it can’t be built today, according to your ideas, the amount of work is too large.” ”

Ye Qing said with a smile: “What do you think, this is not a wooden shed, it is good that it can only be built in three days, you still want to complete it in one day?” ”

He was telling the truth, when he used to be in the countryside, when he watched the people in the village build houses, the whole village came to help, and it took several days.

Now there are only three of them, if not for Ye Qing’s body being strengthened, one person can carry so much heavy and large wood, and change to an ordinary person, these logs alone are enough for the three of them to be tired enough, I am afraid it will take several days to prepare for the work.

In addition, it has just snowed now, the snow is so thick, and it is not easy to dig pits, which is also due to the fact that the physique of the three people is good except for Zhao Ling, otherwise the four pits this morning will take another day.

Therefore, if he was outside, Ye Qing told people that he could change a house of two or three hundred square meters in three days with only three people, and he would have to be laughed to death.

The reason why Furny would say such a thing is not that she has no knowledge, but in her time, especially as pirates, they spent most of their time floating at sea, even if they occasionally went ashore, they simply built a wooden shed and finished it, anyway, they will soon live, plus there are many people, so they can get it done quickly.

As for the real old nest, most pirates choose to live in caves.

This is also the reason why watching Ye Qing build a house now makes her feel that the progress is very slow.

After getting Ye Qing’s exemplary answer, Furni stopped talking, she just said it casually.

Of course, Ye Qing would no longer have nothing to do, and after resting for a while, Zhao Ling beckoned over to eat.

After eating, the three took another break and then continued to work.

Zhao Ling and Funi were still chopping bamboo, and as for Ye Qing, according to the marks on the four pillars, the grooves cut out, after measurement, began to toss the wood that had just been cut back.

These woods he cut into square strips with a stone axe, although the surface was pitted, but at this time he did not bother to care about these, anyway, in his plan, these woods will not form any dominant effect on the appearance of a house, just strong enough.

After measuring, cut a few sticks of wood to the length you need, then cut a groove of the same size as the pillar at both ends, then carry it, lay it horizontally, and buckle it in.

Because there is no special tool, the fit between these grooves is of course impossible to fit tightly, and there are still some gaps in the middle, which will cause the structure to be not strong enough.

Ye Qing had already thought of this, so after fitting all these woods, he used hemp rope to firmly fix these joint parts.

Soon, about half a meter above the ground, a rectangle composed of wooden strips was formed, which was the most basic frame of a house.

At this time, Ye Qing called Zhao Ling and Furni out of the bamboo forest, and the fit at the bottom could be completed by himself alone, but at the top, one person could not do it, and he needed the help of the two.
