[Ting Yu] Abandoned in the wild

28. Accident

In the next few days, Chen Ting asked Okur to go up the mountain to cut bamboo to make bamboo bows and arrows and taught him how to use them.After lunch in the afternoon, I went up the mountain with three or six people to make more nails. At the same time, I officially began to select the trees that will be used as the spine and beams for building the house.He became busy all of a sudden, so he didn't have time to meet with the dealer and Mike for several days to discuss the matter of building a house together.

One day at noon, Lueshang, who had lunch, walked out the door with a piece of white fox skin that he had exchanged with other tribes for hunting.At this time, most of the men in the tribe were out hunting, and the females were preparing food for the summer rainy season. The road outside the house seemed much quieter.He walked up and down the same road several times with the animal skin in his hand, still showing hesitation.

"What are you doing?" Ning Zhiyuan, who had just packed up the herbs and walked out the door, was shocked when he opened the curtain and saw him standing at the door.

"Uh..." Lueshang stood there in embarrassment, turned his hands behind his back, and hid the thing in his hand, "I have nothing to do after lunch, so come out and walk around."

"Oh."

Zhiyuan was busy pouring out his own herbs, without thinking too much, and continued drying several kinds of herbs on the stones in front of the house.The rainy season is coming, and we should dry things well before this time, otherwise all the herbs will become moldy after the rainy season passes.

"Eh..." Lueshang pursed his lips, glanced into the room, and said, "Why are you alone, didn't Meka and Sanliu help you?"

"Meika was taken by Zora to pull some Ula grass that can be used to weave shoes. Now that the sun is shining and we can't go out in the rainy season, we can just make some shoes." Zhiyuan didn't turn his head, and continued to work on himself live.

Lueshang waited for his words for a long time, but there was nothing he wanted to hear. He was a little anxious and didn't know how to continue asking. He stood in place and turned around, walking or staying.

Ning Zhiyuan dried the herbs and turned around, just in time to see Lueshang spinning around, wondering what he was doing, and asked strangely, "What are you doing? Walking in circles in front of my house?"

"What... what?" Lueshang was a little confused at first, but when he was teased by him, he couldn't answer, turned around angrily, and wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute." Zhiyuan grabbed him, leaned over to see his angry expression, and suddenly laughed, "I haven't seen you so angry in many years." Since they came to this tribe, Lueshang has a joking appearance, easy-going and hearty, which is why people in the tribe like him very much.

But today this hearty and easy-going man is hesitant to speak, unlike him at all.

"What's the matter with you?" Zhi Yuan thought he had something hard to say, so he asked again.

"It's okay, I just went out for a walk." Then, he shook off Zhiyuan's hand and continued to walk forward.

"Where are you going?" Zhi Yuan shouted from behind.

"Ah Ting's house." Lue Shang himself didn't know what was wrong with him, and planned to go to A Ting to discuss building a house, which happened to give him no chance to think wildly.

"That's just right." Ning Zhiyuan caught up with him, and lowered a bundle of wormwood for him, "It happened that I found the wormwood on March or Sixth, and I don't have time to give it to him, so you can deliver it."

"..." Lueshang was taken aback for a moment, then looked back at him suddenly, "Who are you talking about?"

"You're stupid." Zhiyuan laughed and sneered at him, "Sanliu, the female we rescued went to Xiyu's house, where he helped Ah Ting build a new house for the past few days .”

"Understood, I'll give it to you." Lueshang was overjoyed, pulled the wormwood, turned around and ran to the stream outside the tribe.

Ning Zhiyuan looked at him suddenly feeling better again, with a look of bewilderment on his face.

………………

Chen Ting and Sanliu had been walking in the forest on the mountain for several days, and finally found a rosewood forest this afternoon from the depth of another mountain road that branched off the waterfall, which was quite unexpected.

"I didn't expect that after 500 years, the natural environment of the earth can be restored to such an extent." Sanliu caressed the trunk of the rosewood tree, looked up at the top of the tree about two stories high, and sighed.

Chen Ting tapped on the tree with his fingers, and said, "In the 21st century, such a forest probably won't be able to hold even a billion dollars, right?"

"But the earth at that time was no longer capable of nourishing such precious trees." Sanliu shook his head with a wry smile.

Severe pollution, unscrupulous deforestation, destruction of vegetation, and disappearance of forests. Redwood, which was once the most common in people's eyes, has become priceless.

"Is it too extravagant for us to use these as beams and spine?" Chen Ting joked.

Sanliu smiled and said, "So we need to be environmentally conscious from now on. When cutting down these rosewood trees, we must also remember to save some branches and replant them again. The cycle is the way to survive." It is worthy of returning from overseas. The big doctor, the words he speaks are also gentle.

Chen Ting smiled, found another stone and sat down, and began to play with the carpenter's tools that he helped him make in the past few days.

"Hammers, hand saws, wood planers..."

He counted the things one by one, and found that they were not all in general.However, it was these things that cost the two of them a lot of effort, and Sanliu exhausted his energy even more, and his face seemed a little pale in the past two days.

"Fortunately, these only need a small amount of iron to make blades or hammers. If it is a big thing, I really dare not let you do it." He said.

Sanliu Dao didn't really care about it, and said calmly: "My energy is limited now, and the metallic superpowers and I can only exert each other's abilities to the extreme if we depend on each other. But now I can't find each other, and I can only use my own The energy that is naturally generated in the body every day makes some small iron objects."

"Hearing what you said, besides ensuring the safety of ourselves and the group of people in front of us, the two of us need to find a way to find the remaining eight people as soon as possible." Chen Ting said.

Sanliu nodded, "It's inevitable. Only by finding them can we gather our strength earlier. The Braggworm is already ready to move, I'm afraid we don't have much time left."

Chen Ting frowned, his face was a bit serious.Looking at his expression, Sanliu guessed that he must be worried about the safety of Xiyu and Ah Zhan, so the pressure in his heart was even greater.

"You don't have to worry too much. Fortunately, you killed the patriarch of the cannibals, and the situation of the Bragg bugs has been contained. As long as we seize this time and take good defense and protection measures, the people in the tribe will naturally One more security."

Sanliu's words cleared up Chen Ting's worries. He calmed down and nodded seriously, "You are right, the problem at hand is to do a good job of our own protection measures, otherwise let alone the monster Bragg bug, it will be If the cannibals come to kill us, I'm afraid we will be too hard to fight."

As he spoke, he looked sideways at the pile of wooden boards on the ground.These were the camphor forests that he and Sanliu found when they were looking for building materials on the mountain three days ago. It took more than a day to turn these trees into wooden strips that could be used to make door panels and windows.

"Now that the wooden boards are ready, why don't we make the frames of the doors and windows first." He said, taking two wooden boards and placing them side by side, aligning them up and down, "According to the size we negotiated, arrange the wooden boards side by side. Okay, then put the upper, middle and lower wooden strips horizontally, and then nail them to the wooden board, so that a door can be made." He said while laying out the wooden boards first.

Sanliu sat on the rock next to him and watched his movements, frowned slightly, and pushed the bridge of his nose subconsciously, "I think we should make the frame of the house first. The foundation must be dug, This can ensure the firmness and firmness of the house, and then bury the spine and fill the soil back to compact it, and then build the frame of the house on the spine. The part of the roof is still made into a sloped diagonal roof, which is conducive to the drainage of rainwater. It will not cause water accumulation. We use wooden boards as the roof on the slope, and then apply grass mud on it, and finally spread palm bark and braided straw to fix it. This can not only keep out the wind and rain , and can also play a role in heat insulation.” While looking at the book in his hand, he used a wooden stick to write and draw on the ground.

Chen Ting looked down seriously, nodded in agreement from time to time, and occasionally put forward some opinions of his own.Soon, a prototype of a stone house with a simple but sturdy and comfortable shape appeared in front of the two of them.

"It looks pretty good." Sanliu looked at the design pattern on the ground and smiled.

Chen Ting looked at it carefully for a long time, and couldn't help but curl his lips, "Your method of stacking earth and rocks with wooden frames as the foundation is really good. I think this house must be very comfortable and durable to build."

"It should be like this." Sanliu nodded.

Chen Ting lowered his head and studied for a while, then suddenly said: "Actually, I have an idea, all our current viewpoints are just knowledge from my previous books and the content recorded in your encyclopedia, which are completely theoretical assumptions. Maybe we can use this method to practice first to see if we can really achieve our expectations.”

"How do you plan to practice?" Sanliu asked curiously.

Chen Ting stood up, looked around, and said, "Since I came here, I have been relying on the sufficient resources in the mountain in front of me to ensure food and clothing. And you have also seen these days, most of the resources we need The ingredients, and some small animals that are easy to hunt live in the southern area of ​​Chaoyang. And this part of the north of the small waterfall is located in the shade of the mountain, and there are occasional large beasts, which is very unsafe. I once thought We moved all the ingredients that can be used in the south to the stone house at the bottom of the mountain, but there are many things that cannot be transplanted, just like the wild wheat we saw yesterday. So many times, we still need to go up the mountain to take care of these plants. "

"So..." Sanliu heard what he meant, and said, "You want to use the construction method we studied to build a separate wall at the north-south junction of the mountain?"

"That's right." Chen Ting nodded, "This mountain is very rich in resources, and many precious plants grow very luxuriantly here, so it can be seen that its land must be very fertile, and as you said, it contains There are many precious mineral deposits, perhaps this is why it can nourish many animals and plants. In this era, this mountain is very precious to us, and I hope to make good use of it."

Sanliu thought for a while, and said: "Your idea is not unreasonable, but although this mountain is not small, if you want to build a wall in the mountain, it is not a simple project."

Chen Ting stood up and looked down the hillside, because they hadn't walked too far to the north, and they could still vaguely see the small waterfall at the fork in the road.

"Currently, it is not suitable for us to separate the whole mountain with a large project. My idea is that it is enough to extend from the foot of the mountain in front of our door to the small waterfall. This section of the mountain road has the most wild edible plants. Wheat is also within this range. Let’s fence it off first. When we get busy building a house later, if I can’t take care of this place, Xiyu and Zhiyuan can also take care of it.”

"Of course it can be like this." Sanliu nodded and said, "I've lived in Zhiyuan for the past few days, and found that he has a very precious medicine field, but it's outside the tribe and at the foot of the river. Although it's hidden, but We can't guarantee perfect security. If we can really protect this area, we can also help Zhiyuan move the medicine field here, so that he doesn't have to run out often."

Just a few days of getting along has created a deep friendship between him and Zhiyuan. For the female who dared to stand up and take on their lives when he and Meka had nothing to rely on, Sanliu couldn't express her closeness and admiration .

"En." Chen Ting had no doubts about this.

After walking a few steps along the three-sixth road, visually measuring the distance they need to build, he said worriedly: "But looking at it this way, although we only built it to the small waterfall, it is still not a very short mountain road. You are alone. Question?"

Chen Ting smiled "hehe" and said, "Dr. Liu thinks highly of me. I may not be able to work on my own until autumn. I plan to ask Mike, Lueshang and Okur to help."

During the past few days of contact with Okur, Chen Ting also had a better understanding of the honest nature of this man who worked tirelessly for his partner and children, and gained some new understanding of him.

Sanliu smiled and lowered his head and scratched his head, as if he also felt that his idea just now was a little unreliable.

Lue Shang, who couldn't find Sanliu and Chen Ting at Xiyu's home, walked in and saw the two of them looking at each other and smiling.

He pursed his lips and scratched the tip of his nose unnaturally, unable to tell what the strange feeling that surged in his heart was.

"Slight business." Chen Ting turned around when he heard the footsteps, smiled in surprise, and said, "You came here just as we were talking about you."

Lueshang's face was inexplicably embarrassed, he glanced at Sanliu, and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Chen Ting didn't notice his abnormality. He pointed to the blueprint of the house on the ground beside him, and said, "This is the method of building a house that Sanliu and I just came up with. If it really succeeds this time, we will You can build a strong and warm house, and even in the rainy season, you don’t have to worry about rainwater leaking into the house.”

"So good?" Lueshang was suddenly distracted by his words, and knelt down to watch seriously.

Sanliu explained on the side: "These houses are all made of wood, and then piled up with stones and grass mud. They are completely different from the kind of houses that everyone built before."

Lue Shang paused with his head down, then slowly raised his head to meet his clear and bright eyes, "Did you come up with all of these?"

"Hmm..." Sanliu thought for a while, he didn't know how he should explain the book, so he had no choice but to say, "This is how the house was built in the place I lived before." Xindu showed a kind smile towards Lue Shang.

Lueshang froze on the spot for a moment, staring at the bright smile of the person in front of him, and even forgot to react for a moment.Chen Ting stood aside, watching the interaction between the two, he seemed to think of something all of a sudden, smiled knowingly, and went to the side to sort out his carpenter's tools.

"Cough..." Perhaps it was the sound of Chen Ting's leaving footsteps that made Lueshang realize his abnormality. He quickly lowered his head to hide the panic in his eyes, and then said, "Then what are we going to do next? Mike and I are also planning to go our separate ways. It built a stone house." As he spoke, he raised his head and took a quick look at three or six, and said with some embarrassment: "Wait... When we find a partner in the future, we can also make him live more comfortably."

Sanliu nodded naturally following his words, and said with a smile: "Of course it is, since we are married, we need to take care of each other."

He spoke calmly, completely unaware that the person beside him felt lost for a moment because of his indifferent tone.

"Oh." Lueshang dejectedly continued to look at the blueprint of the house on the ground.

Chen Ting watched this scene from the sidelines, shook his head amusedly, and said, "Shang Lue, I'm still not sure if this construction method will work, so I plan to build a wall around the mountain now, to keep our daily life In this way, if we want to go hunting in the future, Xiyu Zhiyuan and the others can also go up the mountain to find food. The most important thing is that our new house is not far from the foot of the mountain. It can guarantee the safety of the mountain.”

"Okay, no problem." Lueshang readily agreed, "When do you plan to start, Mike and I will come and do it together."

Chen Ting picked up the animal skin bag filled with tools and said, "Let's start tomorrow. The rainy season is coming soon. I hope we can finish building the house before the rainy season comes."

"Okay, I'll talk to Mike about it when I get back." Lue Shang nodded, and planned to stand up on his knees.

But when he lowered his head, he happened to see a nail at his feet.

"What is this?" He held this never-before-seen thing and looked at it strangely for a long time.

Sanliu and Chen Ting looked at each other, and said, "This is something I brought from my hometown. It's called a nail. It can be used to fix the door panel or the spine of the house, making the house stronger."

"Wow..." Lue Shang praised in surprise, "Your original tribe is really amazing. Not only can you make such a sharp dagger, but there are such things. If we also have this kind of technology, wouldn't it be You can do a lot of things." He studied the iron nail up and down, and even touched the sharp point in front with his hand, with an excited and joyful expression.

His words reminded Sanliu that, in fact, even metallic superpowers would sometimes run out of energy.It is not a long-term thing to use one's own super power to make more iron objects.They should let the people in the tribe learn the skills of iron smelting and blacksmithing, so that they can only make more production and living utensils.

"I'll teach you how to do it when I have a chance in the future." Sanliu looked at him curiously like a child, and said with a smile.

"Really." Lueshang looked at him in surprise, "Can you really teach me?"

Sanliu nodded seriously, and touched the book subconsciously, "Don't worry, I will definitely let you guys make something like this."

Looking at the two of them, Chen Ting held back a smile and wisely walked down the mountain first.

Sanliu's promise made Lueshang clap his hands happily, and stretched out his hand to hand over the iron nail, "Great, let's make an agreement, when the house is built and everything is fine during the rainy season, you must teach me I."

"En." Sanliu spread out his palm, trying to catch the nail he handed over.

However, at the same time when Lueshang's fingertips touched Sanliu's palm, some fine gold particles began to float out from the iron nails and the air.But in an instant, with the separation of Lue Shang and Sanliu's skin, they quickly disappeared.

Lue Shang, who was immersed in the joy of being able to learn ironmaking technology, did not notice this abnormality at all. Only Sanliu stared at the iron nail in his palm in astonishment, speechless in amazement.

"What's wrong?" Seeing his appearance, Lueshang asked worriedly.

Sanliu hurriedly closed her eyes, hiding her surprise in her eyes, and slightly shook her head, "No...it's okay."

"Oh." Lue Shang scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "Then... let's go down the mountain together."

"Okay." Sanliu nodded, followed his footsteps, and the two walked down the mountain side by side.

Where Lue Shang couldn't see, Sanliu kept staring at his strong and muscular back with complicated eyes, with a dim expression.
