Chapter 41 People who can’t bask in the sun

Wu Laoqi is born in the year of Pixiu.

His biggest belief in life was: farming, saving money, and buying land.

If you have more land, save more money and buy more land

Although it is said that land sales are not allowed now.

But the crazy attachment to the land that flowed in Wu Laoqi's bones forced him to save money through his teeth all his life.

Although it is not allowed to buy and sell land now, who knows what will happen in the future?

Right?

Anyway, Wu Laoqi felt that throughout the dynasties and for thousands of years, the land had been constantly changing in the hands of Zhang San and Li Si.

So you want Wu Laoqi to change his obsession with living rough and saving money, saving money to buy land, which he has insisted on for generations?

That is impossible!

As long as Wu Laoqi doesn't kick his legs or close his eyes, he will never change this idea.

Therefore, even if Aju goes back with this money, Wu Laoqi will still find ways to marry Aju before long!

this way,

Not only did the family have one less person to eat food, but it also gave Wu Laoqi's family some money and food.

Even if the amount of money is small, it is still excellent.

This thing is engraved in my bones and cannot be explained.

Aju was unwilling to waste Han Xiaokang's time.

Han Xiaokang ignored A Ju's kindness, put down his backpack and sack, and was about to start building a shelter for her.

Aju was very unhappy, "Brother Xiaokang, you'd better go hunting quickly, or sell these snakes and centipedes to make money."

Go about your business, don't worry, I can take care of myself."

Ah Ju doesn't want to delay her hunting and making money.

But she is a delicate and frail little girl. Although Ah Ju's ability to survive in the wild should not be bad, she is a girl after all.

In this vast mountain, those beasts and poisonous beasts, no one would be pitied.

So I still have to help her build a relatively safe place to live.

This can be regarded as another way to compensate Aju for her financial losses.

Since I want to help her build a hut.

Then the hut must be as strong as possible, and a strong fence is also indispensable.

When the time comes, I will leave Erhu here to guard Aju, and then I will put down the shell gun I found last night for her.

Thus,

At least if Aju is attacked by a ferocious beast, there will be a fence to make it more difficult for the beast to attack, two tigers will give her an early warning, and a shell gun will serve as Aju's self-defense weapon.

Under layers of protection,

Presumably if Aju lives here, her safety won't be a big problem.

As for the lack of many daily necessities?

I can only bring these to her the next time I go into the mountains.

If I take it out now, I really can't explain the origin of these things.

It’s better to be more prudent in everything.

Han Xiaokang chose the place to build the hut.

Then I asked Ah Ju to go to the hillside on the right and find a flat area of ​​only 3 or 4 square meters.

Then a simple shack was built with branches and bamboo poles, and banana leaves were tied on top to serve as a roof to protect against wind and rain.

Next to the shack, dig a small drainage ditch to prevent it from raining in the middle of the night.

Aju was working on a hillside where there were dense woods to block the sun.

So I'm not worried about her skin allergies.

It is very simple to build a simple shack.

As long as Han Xiaokang transports enough building materials to Aju, she can build this shack in less than half a day.

Aju basically can't work during the day.

Unless it's a cloudy day, or at dawn, or at dusk, Ah Ju can stay outside longer and help with some work.

Otherwise, her skin will become red and rash.

Just like those who are allergic to seafood, they have purpura all over their body, which is very uncomfortable.

So Han Xiaokang left Ah Ju and his two dog brothers, Big Tiger and Erhu, on the hillside.

So Aju could hide under the shade of a tree and start building a shack.

If the sun was too strong at noon, the shack would have been set up long ago, just in time for Ah Ju to hide in the shack and cook lunch for the two of them.

The food I brought out now can last for 3 or 4 days.

Han Xiaokang planned to get some building materials and pile them back first, and then go back to hunt some prey.

In a mountain with such rich resources, if you can still starve to death, then you might as well give up the title of hunter!

Although the rifling of the riding rifle was severely worn, the accuracy of the bullet was indeed not very good.

In addition, his marksmanship is embarrassing.

But what does that matter?

Quickly unload and load quickly, trying to shoot out all 5 bullets in the magazine in the shortest possible time!

What kind of bullet are you worried about?

If you encounter larger prey such as wild boars and wild goats, hit them with bang bang bang and win with probability.

If you encounter hares or pheasants, just the loud gunfire of this old-fashioned mounted rifle will cause them to be beaten indiscriminately.

Anyway, the 6.5mm bullets I have accumulated are enough!

If that doesn't work, you can go to the creek to catch fish, or go to the mountains to dig wild cassava and wild yam.

So even if there is not much food now, there is actually nothing to worry about.

With a gun in his hand and no worries, Han Xiaokang took out the chain saw in the Fengchao box behind a small mountain col far away from Aju and began to cut down trees, Nan bamboo and Moso bamboo.

Not to mention,

With the chain saw in hand, the work efficiency is indeed very high.

A tree with a diameter of 2 feet can be sawed in two in less than 10 minutes.

Not to mention those bamboos that are only about 1 foot thick. Pull the chain saw towards the bottom of the bamboo.

In 3 or 5 minutes, a tall bamboo suddenly fell to the ground.

It's just that there are too many branches on the bamboo, and it is indeed a bit difficult to drag it out of the bamboo forest smoothly.

There are no tricks to doing this kind of work.

Han Xiaokang could only take out the machete and remove the thicker branches from the bamboos first.

Then it was very difficult to drag it out.

Put the chopped bamboo aside and continue working.

After working for more than an hour, Han Xiaokang, who was sweating profusely, finally cut down 2 trees and 4 bamboos.

Cutting down these two things is the most tiring.

Next, it will be much easier to cut the moso bamboo. When you encounter the denser moso bamboo, you only need to poke the chain saw at the root of the moso bamboo.

It only takes less than 2 minutes to chop down a nice thick bamboo.

It's just that it takes a little more effort to pull the moso bamboo out of the bamboo forest.

After cutting down a lot of moso bamboo, Han Xiaokang wiped the sweat from his forehead and began to sit down and rest.

Since it is midsummer now, the mountains are full of green and the thatch is lush.

Therefore, during this season, it is impossible to collect enough thatch to make roofs.

It is possible to make a makeshift roof with banana leaves, but that kind of roof can only be used for a short period of time.

Because banana leaves will wilt and curl up after drying.
