Wang Antong's digging continued for less than half an hour. By this time the sun was about to set, and it was usually darker in the mountains than outside.

As Wang Antong, who had lived in the wild for a long time, he was very sensitive to sunlight. When there was no sunlight, he stopped, jumped out of the pit, shook the dirt on his body like a dog, and then looked at Luo Shixing expectantly.

After these few days of living together, he faintly discovered one thing, that is, once these two people have done more tiring things, they will cook something delicious when cooking.

For example, fish or meat, and when it is relatively free, it will be lighter.

Luo Shixing did this so that the two of them could get enough nutritional supplements during the heavy labor. As for not eating during rest, they didn't have a lot of reserves, and the pork would be gone after eating.

In the end, Wang Antong didn't expect this behavior to become a thing: work and get meat.

During this period of time, Wang Antong only occasionally got a little meat when he performed well, and he only ate fish on the first day when Luo Shixing came back after catching fish.

He didn't understand other reasons, but he knew what was delicious and what was not, so he also tried to help.

Digging holes, which dog, no, which wolf can't do it anymore?

Although his planing skills are not very good among wolves, it feels better than these two humans!

Luo Shixing and Cheng Jingwei looked at each other, Luo Shixing was a little worried: "What does he mean?"

Not being able to communicate was too painful, he really hoped that Wang Antong would tell him what he wanted directly.

Cheng Jingwei pondered for a long time, then turned his head and said, "Let's boil those two stick bones today, crack the bones and give them to him, with some meat on them."

Luo Shixing didn't think about anything else, so he simply nodded: "Okay."

Wang Antong performed well today, he didn't run around and did his work, so let him be rewarded.

So Wang Antong ate delicious stick bones. Even though there wasn't much meat on the bones, Luo Shixing didn't bother to make them. He just added some pepper and salt and threw them into clear water to cook. But for Wang Antong, it was also very delicious. .

Wang Antong ate the bone with soup all over his face, looking very satisfied.

Correspondingly, today he will obediently go with the two of them even without Cheng Jingwei holding him, and he will find his own place to sleep when he is in the house.

Now he will sleep on his back even without Cheng Jingwei's force. In fact, canines themselves will sleep on their belly when they are extremely relaxed. Before, he was afraid of Cheng Jingwei and felt unfamiliar with this place, so of course he refused to sleep on his back.

Now he finds that the place where he sleeps here can protect him from the wind and rain, and he can still eat enough, and the two special breeds will not hurt him, so he sleeps in a comfortable position with peace of mind.

Looking at him like this, Luo Shixing felt like a puppy who had just arrived at home and put down his guard little by little until he trusted his master wholeheartedly.

Cheng Jingwei waited for him to lie down and said, "He is so good at digging holes, let's take him to dig them later."

As for teaching Wang Antong how to use tools, let's put it later. Let him use a bamboo shovel now. It may not be as fast as his hands and feet.

Luo Shixing didn't react after hearing this, he was used to Cheng Jingwei's capitalist style.

He was just a little worried: "But digging like that, can't his hands and feet bear it?"

The area they had to dig was not small, and they needed a certain depth. The rabbits were asked to dig because they were naturally good at digging holes. Wang Antong was human after all, and didn't have that innate condition.

Cheng Jingwei said: "You don't have to worry about this, his hands and feet are covered with thick calluses, they won't get hurt easily, and if he gets tired, he will stop by himself."

Luo Shixing thought about it too, a wolf boy who grew up in the wild would definitely not be as delicate and fleshy as the two of them.

In fact, after these months of exile, even Luo Shixing's little hands had begun to grow calluses, not to mention Wang Antong who had lived in the wild for so many years.

Thinking of this, he suddenly asked: "By the way, how old is Wang Antong this year?"

Cheng Jingwei had already compiled a whole set of information about Wang Antong in his head when he asked Wang Antong's name before, and now he even said: "I don't really remember how old he is, but he should be a year or two older than you."

Luo Shixing looked shocked: "He looks smaller than me, is he actually bigger than me? Then it's not easy for him to survive in the wild."

Cheng Jingwei was silent for a while before he said: "Actually... we haven't seen him standing upright, have we?"

According to Cheng Jingwei's memory, Wang Antong is not considered short when he grows up, just a little shorter than him.

As for Luo Shixing...he didn't know, because he had never heard of this person at all in his previous life, and in his previous life, the child might have died early, otherwise he wouldn't have been unknown just because of his face.

Of course, there is also a possibility that he was disfigured. Isn't the heart-shaped scar on Luo Shixing's face the evidence that he was almost disfigured.

Luo Shixing moaned and said, "I'm definitely taller than him!"

Hey, I still have to find a way to supplement enough nutrition and work hard to grow taller!

Cheng Jingwei followed him and said: "Well, it should be, anyway, there is no rush now, let him use his habitual movements to dig a hole first."

Luo Shixing's attention was diverted, and he said a little worriedly: "But his way of digging holes is too destructive, neither of us should think about going down when he goes down."

Cheng Jingwei looked indifferent: "Then don't go down, let's do something else."

Luo Shixing turned his head and asked, "What are you doing?"

Cheng Jingwei looked at him sideways: "Don't waste the soil you dug out, burn the bricks. In this case, we might be able to repair the house!"

After hearing this, Luo Shixing was at a loss for a moment: "What kind of house should you build properly?"

Cheng Jingwei said: "Winter is coming soon. Although this place is warmer than the north, it is still very cold in the mountains in winter. We don't have other houses here to protect us from the wind. The walls of the bamboo house are not good enough. It's a bit cold now, isn't it?" ?”

Luo Shixing thought about it, but he hesitated: "How many bricks do you need? I'm afraid we don't need to do anything else because we burn bricks every day?"

Renovating a house is not the same as building a cellar. Their house is not too small. It is about [-] to [-] square meters. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to fit so many things. This renovation will be very difficult, especially since the walls on both sides are made of bamboo boards. fight.

If it is going to be repaired, I am afraid that all the walls will not be demolished, only the pillars and beams will be left, and then brick walls will be built. This project is too large and requires a lot of bricks.

Cheng Jing tilted his head slightly to look at him and asked, "What else do you want to do?"

Luo Shixing subconsciously wanted to say that he needed to go out to find food, even if they still had pork, they couldn't just sit and eat.

However, he soon realized that he and Cheng Jingwei really didn't need to go to the woods to find food.

They have temporarily solved the food problem. Even if they can’t eat indica rice, they still have millet to eat. There is no shortage of wild vegetables and bamboo shoots all over the ground, not to mention the meat. As for fish, he has marinated two. Now he is fishing, oh , It is that the fishing technology has made great progress.

At least he can tell which fish won't take him into the water, and as long as he doesn't get carried away by the fish, he can bring the fish out of the net!

There are also chickens, ducks and geese as reserves at home. Although they will not eat them unless it is absolutely necessary, at least they have a bottom line in their hearts.

And their excrement was not wasted, and Luo Shixing and the rabbit's share were piled aside to ferment, ready to be used for farming.

Those chickens were quite diligent in laying eggs, just like ducks and geese, but adding them up wouldn't make them both hungry anymore.

So basically they don't need to work hard to find food, and the next thing is to build the one-acre three-point land around them.

After Luo Shixing figured it out, he suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment, waved his hand and said proudly, "Xiu Xiuxiu."

Maybe after owning a house, Cheng Jingwei will feel more secure in his heart.

The two states of loneliness and wandering are the most debilitating. Luo Shixing has no research on psychology. After thinking about it for a long time, he felt that Cheng Jingwei became like this because of a sudden change in his family.

Then probably only the warmth of the family can make his inner strength stronger, and then he can resist the pain caused by falling from the clouds and the mud and the departure of his family.

Now they can barely count as three of them depend on each other, and it is no problem to say that they are a family, not to mention that Wang Antong can't be allowed to sleep on the floor, right?

So here comes the question... which of the two of them will build a house?

This time, Cheng Jingwei understood the meaning in his eyes without waiting for him to ask, and Luo Shixing quickly answered, "I know a little bit, anyway, we don't need to build a particularly beautiful building, and I also made bamboo tiles before, so the workload is also small." not very big."

Luo Shixing no longer wanted to find out why Cheng Jingwei could even repair a house, maybe...he had played with it.

He looked at the roof and suddenly said, "Do you think we should build the house in another place?"

Cheng Jingwei turned his head and made a doubtful monotone: "Huh?"

Luo Shixing gestured and said: "This courtyard should be used as a special warehouse. You see, it is not easy to renovate this bamboo house, and if it is remodeled, the two of us will not be able to live in it. It is better to build a new one, and there is no need to use it." Don’t worry, just take your time.”

Cheng Jingwei thought about it for the same reason. If he wanted to repair the house, he had to remove the bamboo wall first, otherwise it would be difficult to lay mud bricks, so he asked, "Where do you want to build it?"

There are very few flat terrains suitable for building houses in the mountains, and it is not easy for them to expand here.

Luo Shixing closed his eyes and said, "Go and have a look tomorrow."

The next day, Luo Shixing really started to look around for suitable places. He got up and walked around slowly with his hands behind his back to observe.

Cheng Jingwei couldn't help smiling when he saw that he looked like an adult, and walked behind him.

Soon Luo Shixing found the place and made gestures and said, "It's here on the west side, so our original location is a warehouse and breeding place, a little further away is the field, and the south is the pond. What do you think?"

Cheng Jingwei nodded and said, "Sounds good."

He didn't talk nonsense, it really sounds good, there are fields and ponds, and the planning is also good. If you really want to live in seclusion, you should be happy to live like this for the rest of your life.

Seeing that he also agreed, Luo Shixing said enthusiastically, "That's great, let Rabbit and Wang Antong help dig a foundation later."

Cheng Jingwei subconsciously glanced at the rabbits in the rabbit nest, and deeply felt that they might not be able to eat these rabbits. How long will the rabbits be digging?

But when he heard the word "foundation", he knew that Luo Shixing wanted to build a house according to the traditional method of the Central Plains.

Yes, the foundation is not something that is unique to later generations. In ancient times, the foundation was already laid when building a house.

It's just that the things used to lay the foundation at that time were different from those in later generations. Most of them were made of solid wood.

Cheng Jingwei thought for a while and said: "If you want to lay the foundation, you need to plan carefully. It is best to make the floor of the house a little higher than the ground, so that it is not easy to return moisture."

The damp soil in the mountains will bring moisture back to the ground. If the house is close to the ground, the house will be more humid at that time, and if it can be higher, it will be much better even if it cannot be completely isolated.

Luo Shixing frowned: "Then the question is, what should this foundation be supported by?"

Later generations will use reinforced concrete to support the foundation, while the Central Plains will use rammed earth.

However, they don’t have these two things now, let’s not talk about cement. It’s not impossible to mix cement, but the raw materials are very problematic. As for the rammed earth, it is pressed and mixed with mud bricks, and the mud is put into a mold continuously. Pressing and beating finally makes the mud dense, with few internal gaps and very strong.

Buildings like the imperial palace are made of rammed earth, which requires a lot of manpower.

Given Luo Shixing's current situation, unless they could invite the black bear to come over and help them with work, they would never even think about it.

In this case, it is not so easy for the foundation to be firm.

Cheng Jingwei was very calm: "The thick dried bamboo is filled with mud, and a layer of mud is pasted on the outside to prevent moths. After drying, it will be very strong."

Luo Shixing didn't expect to be able to do this. Thinking about it, it seemed feasible, so he immediately rolled up his sleeves and said, "Let's go, chop bamboo!"

Not only does he cut bamboo, he also needs a lot of pepper mixed in the mud, mainly to prevent insects from eating.

I have to say that the cooperation between Wang Antong and the rabbit is really good, and I don't know if the rabbit put pressure on Wang Antong, and he and the rabbit began to compete for efficiency.

The most important thing is that he is much smarter than the rabbit, he can understand Cheng Jingwei's words, he can dig as deep as Cheng Jingwei asks him to dig, and at night he will get a fish or a little meat.

Luo Shixing and Cheng Jingwei were very satisfied with his efficiency, and Wang Antong was also very satisfied with his diet.

So when Wei Siwen came over, he almost suspected that he had gone wrong. Where is this place that looks like a construction site?
