Abandoned Prince Survival Guide

Xiao Yu struggled several times, but Pei Linzhi didn't let him go. He was not let go until the lightning and thunder disappeared.

It rained heavily that night, and it didn't stop much.In the middle of the night, the thatched roof was completely drenched by the rain, which turned into heavy rain outside, and light rain began to fall inside the house, and the leak became bigger and bigger, waking Xiao Yu and Pei Linzhi who were already asleep.

The bed is all wet, how can I sleep like this.They got out of bed to find water leaking everywhere in the house.It was pitch black, and there was no way to know where it was leaking.Xiao Yu wanted to light a lamp, and went to open the door in the dark, but there was a rattling sound in the next room, as if a waterfall had moved to the house, and he was so frightened that he quickly closed the door.

The two wandered around the house in the dark for a long time before they finally found a small piece of dry ground that did not leak water. There were no stools, and they could not sit directly on the ground. They could only stand there.No way, there are no stools and chairs these days.When the weather is fine, I must ask the carpenter to build some stools, Xiao Yu thought sleepily.

In the dark, Xiao Yu dozed off again and again, but he couldn't fall asleep. He yawned and said, "I never thought that there would be a hurricane before my house was repaired. The house leaked and there was a storm. This experience can be remembered for a lifetime."

Pei Lin put her arms around his shoulders: "Your Majesty is tired, sleep on me, I will protect you, you won't fall."

Xiao Yu wiped his face vigorously: "No, you are still a patient, you go to sleep, I will watch over you."

Pei Rinzhi didn't speak.Xiao Yu wanted to hold on at first, but in the end he couldn't hold on. After all, his body was too young, and it was the age of insomnia to grow his body.

When Xiao Yu woke up, it was already dawn, and he was leaning against Pei Linzhi's arms.Pei Linzhi leaned against the wall and fell asleep with her eyes closed.

Xiao Yu remembered that he was still injured, so he quickly stood up straight, and found that his legs had been numb for a long time, and he could hardly lift them. It took him a while to regain consciousness.Pei Linzhi also woke up when he left him, but many parts of his body were also in a state of paralysis, after all, it is impossible to stand for half a night without being numb.

The rain has stopped, the floor of the room is completely wet, and the roof is still dripping.

Xiao Yu pinched his brows in distress: "The next time we renovate the house, we must not use thatched roof again. This is too miserable."

There was still water in the other rooms, and the walls were all wet, which was horrible.

After opening the door and going out, Xiao Yu realized that his family was not the only one suffering. Almost no one in the village was spared. Leaks and roofs were fine. I heard that some people's houses were blown down. Fortunately, no casualties were heard.

The destructive power of this hurricane is also extremely rare for Yazhou people, and many people have never experienced such a large hurricane in their lives.

What made Xiao Yu particularly frustrated was that the fire he kept in the hearth was also extinguished by the poured rainwater.All the firewood in the house has also been soaked by the rain, so now they can't even make a fire to cook a hot meal.

Looking at this wet world, Xiao Yu wanted to cry but had no tears. He didn't know when it would clear up, otherwise he would have to eat raw brown rice.

In the end Xiao Yu decided to go to Meng's house to see the situation, maybe he could borrow some firewood.Meng Hong was tidying the thatched roof on the roof, when he saw Xiao Yu, he stopped and asked, "Is the roof of Lang Jun's house okay last night?"

Xiao Yu smiled wryly: "A lot has been lifted, and the ones that haven't been lifted are also leaking. The grass roof is rotten, and it can't cover the heavy rain at all. The firewood at home has been soaked, so I want to borrow some dry firewood to light the fire."

Meng Hong waved his hand: "What can I borrow for some firewood? I'll go to the stove to find the child's mother. I expected this to happen, and I collected a lot of straw and dry firewood in the stove." His house was renovated every year and added a thatched roof. , but not much loss.

Xiao Yu cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you, Big Brother Meng."

He went to the kitchen to look for the Meng family's wife, took some dry firewood, and was about to go back. It happened that Meng Sigui hurried in. Seeing him, he was surprised and said, "Lang Jun is at my house, and I was just going to find you. Father, Ji Hai's family The house collapsed last night, and he and Yuer have nowhere to go."

Meng Hong asked: "What about them? Hurry up and call our family."

Meng Sigui said, "I called, but they refused to come."

When Xiao Yu heard this, he put down the firewood and said, "Sigui, quickly take me to see it." Ji Hai brothers and sisters worked at his house for several days, and he still didn't know where Ji Hai's house was.

Meng Sigui hurriedly led Xiao Yu to Ji Hai's house, and saw that Ji Hai's brother and sister were digging for something in the collapsed house. They were like clay figurines, looking very sad: "Ji Hai, Yu'er, what are you looking for?"

Ji Yu'er looked back and saw Xiao Yu, the tears that had already stopped came down again, sobbing and said: "Lang Jun, the cloth that Lang Jun bought for us hasn't been found yet."

When Xiao Yu went back to sell oil for the first time, he tore a piece of cloth for the brother and sister and asked them to find someone to make clothes.Ji Hai went to find the lady of the Meng family. The lady of the Meng family happened to be busy these days and didn't take care of her. Bu was left at home by Ji Hai. Unexpectedly, before the clothes were made, the house was blown down by the hurricane, and Bu was also taken care of by Ji Hai. Buried in the ruins.

Xiao Yu said: "Don't look for it anymore, I'll buy it for you later. Follow me quickly and go to my house."

When Ji Yu'er heard that he could go to Xiao Yu's house, he hurriedly told his brother that Ji Hai acted as if he hadn't heard, and desperately paved the dirt. Seeing that his brother refused to give up, Yu'er hurried to help.

Xiao Yu has seen stubborn people before, but he has never seen such a stubborn person like Ji Hai. He walked up the collapsed house and grabbed one with one hand: "I told you not to look for it, didn't you hear me?"

Ji Hai tried his best to break free from his hand: "I found it." Then he knelt on the ground and pulled desperately, finally found a crushed wooden cabinet, removed the pieces of wood, and found a piece of sackcloth stained with mud and water.

Xiao Yu sighed helplessly: "Okay, let's go when you find it."

Ji Hai didn't go away, but picked again and found a pair of straw sandals.Xiao Yu understood, he kept the cloth and straw sandals he bought for him in the closet, and he never wore the shoes once.

Ji Yuer watched his brother find the shoes: "My shoes were also buried."

Xiao Yu said, "No more, I'll buy it for you later."

Brother and sister Jihai were taken home by Xiao Yu.In fact, his house is not much better. There is no dry land, but the walls are still there, and there is one that barely has a roof.

Xiao Yu hurriedly lit a fire to boil water, let Ji Hai brothers and sisters take a hot bath in case they got sick, and then started cooking.Wet firewood was not easy to burn, and the whole room was full of smoke. Xiao Yu was choking and coughing, Pei Linzhi wanted to help, but the more he helped, the more he helped, and Xiao Yu drove him away.In the end, Ji Yu'er took a bath, wrapped Xiao Yu's clothes, and helped to start the fire. Don't look at the little girl who is younger, and does housework more neatly than Xiao Yu.

There was a hurricane, no one went to sea, and there was no food at home, so Xiao Yu put some salted fish bought from a neighbor to deal with it.

During the meal, Xiao Yu said: "Ji Hai, your house has collapsed and you have no place to go, so you and your sister will live with me from now on. Help me with the work, and I won't pay you any more, just provide food, clothing and housing."

Ji Hai didn't hesitate: "Okay."

The corners of Ji Yu'er's mouth raised, looking very happy.

Pei Linzhi glanced at Xiao Yu, did not speak, but looked at the dilapidated house with some worry.

Xiao Yu said: "As soon as the hurricane is over, I will immediately find someone to repair the roof."

Brother and sister Ji Hai lived at home. Both brothers and sisters are diligent, and Yu'er is good at housework.Seeing that there was no food at home, Ji Hai carried a hoe and went to the yard to dig the ground to grow vegetables.It really is two more capable little helpers.

Seeing this, Pei Linzhi had no problem with having two more people in the family, at least his highness didn't have to cook anymore.

Fortunately, the typhoon had completely passed through the territory on the second day, and the sky cleared up. It seemed that the storm the night before was all a dream, but the collapsed houses, overturned roofs, and uprooted trees reminded people that this was not a dream, but a dream. It happened.

Xiao Yu soon found out that Toli was looking for a mason and asked about repairing the house.After listening to the master's explanation, Xiao Yu finally understood why most of the houses in Yazhou had thatched roofs. The reason is that there are many hurricanes in Yazhou. When strong hurricanes come, even tile and thatched roofs cannot escape the fate of being overturned.The tiles are expensive, and they will be broken when they are dropped. The grass roof is worthless.

Xiao Yu imagined a scene where tiles were flying all over the sky, and they would bloom when they hit people’s heads. It was raining lightly, and he had had enough of the experience that night, and he didn't want to go through it again: "Aren't those tile-roofed houses in the city afraid of being demolished?"

The master explained that it was because of the addition of a bonding process, which was made by mixing glutinous rice and sand.

When Xiao Yu heard about adhesives, he couldn't help but have an idea. Why not use glutinous rice mortar made of slaked lime and glutinous rice as adhesives. This is how the ancients did it. Buildings made of adhesives have stood firm for thousands of years.

Xiao Yu asked, "Master, why don't you use lime instead of sand?"

The master shook his head in doubt: "Use lime? I've never heard of it."

Xiao Yu was very surprised. Could it be that the glutinous rice mortar has not reached here yet? "Where can I buy lime?"

The master said: "There are tile shops, but they are more expensive than tiles. If you want to use lime as a binder, I am afraid it will be quite expensive."

"Lime is so expensive!" Xiao Yu's mind turned quickly, "Then I will find lime myself."

He remembered that there was a karst landform in Yazhou, which meant that there was no shortage of limestone on the island. He had to look for it, preferably nearby.If you can find limestone, you can burn the lime to stick the tiles, and maybe sell it for a profit.

Lime firing method is relatively simple, limestone at a high temperature of about 1000 degrees, calcium carbonate will be decomposed into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide.The raw materials needed are limestone and firewood.

As soon as he said it, Xiao Yu started to go out to find Limestone the next day.

Although Pei Linzhi's body has not fully recovered, he still wants to go out with Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu didn't want him to go: "You just recovered, so don't go with me. I'll take Ji Hai and Si Gui for a walk nearby, and we won't go too far."

Pei Linzhi looked at Xiao Yu and insisted: "I'm fine, I won't drag you down, let me go with you."

Xiao Yu looked at his firm eyes: "Okay, let's go together."

Sigui heard that Xiao Yu was going to climb the mountain, so he was very excited to act as a guide: "Is your lord going to find beeswax?"

Xiao Yu just remembered this. Could it be possible to find a beehive? In the past few days, he took the time to make a simple beehive, which just happened to come in handy.So I took the beehive and a hoe and went to dig the beehive by the way.

Xiao Yu was carrying the basket, Meng Sigui was carrying the beehive, Ji Hai was carrying the hoe, and they went out like a picnic.Only Yu'er was left to look after the house, and she wanted to go too, but the lady of the Meng family wanted to teach her how to sew clothes, so she was more willing to make new clothes as soon as possible.

With a dagger hanging from his waist and a long sword in his hand, Pei Linzhi, dressed as a bodyguard, followed behind them.

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "You don't need to go out with a sword."

Pei Linzhi glanced at him indifferently: "Be prepared." For those who practice martial arts, it is fundamental that the sword never leaves the body.

Meng Sigui was like a little sparrow, chattering non-stop, and introduced to Xiao Yu the nearby mountains like a few treasures, which mountain had wild fruits, which mountain had the most firewood, which mountain had big insects, and so on.

Xiao Yu asked, "Which mountain has the most rocks?"

"Stone Mountain?" Meng Sigui thought for a while, then pointed to a high mountain in the distance, "That mountain has a lot of stones, but I haven't been there because there are bandits."

Xiao Yu looked far away, and there was indeed a towering green mountain in the distance, about ten or twenty miles away, not to mention that there were bandits on the mountain, even if there were no bandits, it would be too far away.Then he changed the phrase: "Then do you know where there are many stones?"

Meng Sigui said: "Stone? A little further ahead, there is a very short rocky mountain. Except for thatch, almost nothing grows there. Sometimes we play on the rock. By the way, there will be a little bit of growth in the crevice of the rock." Plant wild onions, let’s pull some and fry the chicken, it’s delicious.”

Xiao Yu nodded: "Then let's go and have a look first."

Led by Meng Sigui, they arrived at Shishan.Xiao Yu couldn't help but smile when he looked at the large stretch of gray-black stones. It really didn't take much effort, this is the limestone he wanted.

Meng Sigui jumped up on a stone slab and said, "It's here."

Xiao Yu smiled: "I see, thank you Sigui."

Pei Linzhi turned to look at Xiao Yu in confusion, His Highness smiled at a bare mountain: "Is there something special about this mountain?"

Xiao Yu glanced at him: "There is nothing special about it, but it also has its uses." He was already looking at the surrounding terrain and thinking about transportation. It might not be realistic to move the stones out, so it is better to burn lime on the spot. Lime is lighter than stone.

Meng Sigui pulled out a wild onion and said, "The beeswax you are looking for is not here."

Xiao Yu said, "Then go find beeswax elsewhere."
