Chapter 151 The House

"Okay, I'll take care of that." Old Cheng nodded.

"Cui Bin." I turned to look at him. "Our tribe has a good location, but we need to build better defenses. We need to build a wall around the high ground. Take the men and go on making bricks."

"No problem. I'm good at it." Cui Bin chuckled.

"That..."

"Fly elder brother, I am responsible for lead person to chop down tree." Li Ding raised her hand and rushed to claim it.

"Ok." That's what I meant: "It's best to cut down all the trees on the high ground. We're going to turn all the extra land into arable land."

"Still want to leave some, can't do without greenery." "Cheng suggested.

Everyone laughed, and he was the only one who could think of such a thing under such circumstances.

I agreed and arranged for Wuwa to cook and take care of the animals with the remaining women of the treehouse tribe.

After finishing the arrangement, they will find a place to rest.

The next day woke up, I put all the guns and ammunition collected, into the basement, li Yunna and the original cane according to weave special responsible for looking after.

I took A few of them, Zhang Yutong and Luci, cut wood began to re-do the head of the grinding tool. In order to build the house and the wall faster and better, I used a big grinding tool, the length of a brick is about a foot, the thickness of 10 centimeters. The bigger bricks will greatly increase the speed of our construction.

When I had made the tools, I called more than ten slaves to learn to make bricks with me.

Three days later, the first kiln of red bricks came out. Cheng was eager to take some men to dig the foundation and build the house. Because the bricks were big and simple, the first house was built in just one day, but the roof was missing.

Lao Cheng was eager to invite me to visit. The result was a two-bedroom house with a kitchen and bath. It's very modern.

"Well, not bad." "This house is simple. The Windows are big enough to keep it warm. You can move in after you put a roof on it and put bricks on the ground.

"Why don't you stay?" I suggested.

Lao Cheng became serious and said, "You are the leader. Of course, this first house is for you. But I agreed that I would only build the house, and that you should take care of the doors, Windows, and furnishings."

"I'm in no hurry. I can rest there."

Old Cheng refused, "How can I do that? You live there, and make it well, and show it, and then the others will know what to do with it."

I think there is some truth in it. By building the house, I can let the aborigines know that we are going to build it well. In this way, they will feel more secure and more willing to pay for the tribe.

After agreeing, Cheng tugged at me and gave me instructions on what to do with the house.

I accepted all his suggestions, and Lao Cheng was relieved to leave, ready to build a second house overnight.

I walked around the house twice and found that I had no idea how to decorate the house. Zhang Yutong and Luci called over.

The two men held hands and walked around. With that in mind, he pulled me down on the floor of the living room.

"Only two rooms." Zhang Yutong stretched out two fingers: "in front enough live, the first to have two big beds right?"

"Yes." I nodded.

"And a wardrobe, and a living room with a dining table and chairs." "Added Lucie.

"There will be a separate kitchen and the toilet will probably require us to dig a cesspool."

"It's your business." The two women spoke in disgust.

If we want to cultivate the land, we have to store manure for watering. Otherwise the land on the island will be wasted in less than two years.

"What else?" I continued my inquiry.

Zhang Yutong pointed to the wall: "The wall is too ugly, some places are red, some places are blue. Brother Lu Fei, let's make our own lime and paint the wall white. It will be very beautiful."

"You can cook?"

Zhang Yutong shook his head and said, "You and Brother Cui Bin can do that. Don't you know how to make pottery and bricks? It must be similar to firing lime."

"That line, turn round I ask Cui bin." I can't understand her mind. Many things seemed easy to her.

"And doors and Windows." "We can't forget anything that's important," Lucie said.

"What can you two do?" I feel like I need to take care of all this.

They looked at each other and could not think of anything they could digest.

After a while, Zhang Yutong said with a smile: "Let Lu Qianjie accompany you to sleep on the line?"

"Yuck." Lucy bumped her arm shyly.

Zhang Yutong don't give face at all: "you have a good grasp now, such as wan snow sister came back, you have to stand aside. And when I'm ready to have a baby, you'll automatically be babysitting for me and the baby."

"I want you to have a baby. I'll take care of it for you." Lucie answered immediately.

Zhang Yutong seems to realize that he said this is not good, quickly remedy said, let the children call Lucie big mother when the time comes.

In order to type out the sample earlier, also in order to live in the house earlier. After dinner, the three of us set to work. First level the ground with a copper shovel. The next day the floor was paved with bricks.

Because everyone else was busy, I didn't ask anyone else to help.

With a level, clean floor, I started thinking about what I could do with bricks, and I did it first. After some thought, I decided to use bricks to build the bed and hearth first.

The bed is easy to solve, with bricks piled out of a rectangular can be, on top of the straw hide is a bed.

I built the bricks and the two women carried them. A brick has thirty or forty catties of weight, one or two is ok, more or enough.

Pausing to rest, I asked both of them to hold out their hands.

Lucie came straight out, her long, white catkins torn.

"There's nothing to see." Zhang Yutong pulled her hand back: "We are all the same, now and before the disaster life changes, but also physical work more just."

Lucie nodded in agreement. "Yeah, just get used to it."

In the face of their strong, MY heart always some feel sorry, to think, have an idea.

"Can we make some trolleys?" I suggested.

"Pushing a cart?

The two men spoke at the same time.

"How? We don't have any tools." Zhang Yutong said with a twist.

"I know what to do. Let's go." I got up and pulled them both up.

Go to the place where the accumulation of trees, I pick a diameter in half a meter or so of the tree. Have the two of them cut with me. With no saw and a large cross section of the tree, it was laborious work.

Busy for most of the day, just cut down two sections of the tree festival. In the house at night, we cut the trees horizontally with axes.

"Brother Lu Fei, are you sure the wheels made like this will work?" Zhang Yutong doubt of ask.

I affirm say: "rest assured, can not be wrong."

After the transverse section is cut flat, the copper cone is used to pull out a small hole in the center, and then find the bearing crossbar, according to the thickness of the crossbar, to determine the size of the small hole in the center of the wooden wheel. Until you can get the bar into position.

Having assembled the simple wheel, I pushed the rail twice around without any problem. It's just that the wheels slowly slide off the rails under the action of inertia. To this end, I also made two fixed wooden rings that can act as nuts, mounted on the outside of the tire crossbar.

With the wheels ready, it's time to make the body of the cart. Because we have no way to make nails, we can only choose the wood, use the mortise and tenon technology of wood work, make holes in the wood, let the wood interweave and reed each other, to make the body shape.

The shape of the cart is very simple, like an H shape in general, but the middle of the horizontal is the shape of the field lattice, two parts of the extension out of the handrail, one side is to support the point of strength on the ground.
