After the design and materials are prepared, it is very fast to make. Put two bricks in a pile on top, and then put a big brick on top. The shape of a rabbit house has been made. Of course, clay is still used in between. adhesive.
Anyway, the destructive power of rabbits is not that great, and if they are stacked layer by layer, they will collapse without worrying about the adhesion being weak, so Song Xuan did not burn it again like a kiln.
Although there are three floors, they are not completely vertical, but are like a staircase. There is a width of about 20 centimeters in front of each grid to serve as a small corridor.
Song Xuan also used bricks to build several gentle slopes for them on the edges and in the middle. The purpose was naturally to make it easier for the rabbits to get up and down.
Several people worked together and built the rabbit house in one day. Of course, it was just a place for them to rest. In order to keep warm, another house must be built outside.
It is backed by a hillside and there is already a house made of bricks, so it is very simple to build this small shed.
The hillside is the best wall. After erecting pillars on both sides, just make a sloping roof. In order to face the coming winter, the tribe has prepared a lot of thatch. After all, many houses need to be repaired. Just take it and use it directly at this time.
Although it still looks semi-open now, in the winter, just hang some animal skins on the fence beside the door to protect it from the wind and snow. The double-layer insulation measures are no worse than their caves in the wild.
The same goes for other livestock sheds. In winter, the doors must be blocked with animal skins. As long as the wind and snow can't get in directly, with their ability to withstand freezing, it's not a problem.
After the dormitory was completed, Song Xuan renovated other livestock pens, mainly strengthening the pillars and covering the surroundings of the house with grass mud. The weather was warm before, and in order to save trouble, this part was omitted directly. Yes, but it won't work in winter. There are no wooden walls covered with grass and mud, but there is air leakage everywhere.
Packing them up now can be regarded as preparations for winter. Song Xuan is most worried about the fodder for these animals. After all, there is no fresh grass to eat outside.
From now on for at least half a year, they will have to rely on the hay from the tribe. When Song Xuan asked about this, Shi Yan directly opened the house next to him and saw that it was full of hay. One room.
Seeing this, Song Xuan finally felt relieved. With these things, he would definitely not be hungry in the winter. Otherwise, when the heavy snow falls, it would not be as easy to find grass as it is now. Although the weather has begun to slow down. It’s getting colder, but it’s still autumn after all.
After eating young grass for more than half a year, the most picky eater now is Uncle Deer. The other animals are not so pretentious. Although it is still the alfalfa hay that the animals like most, the taste is definitely not as good as fresh.
Seeing Uncle Lu shaking his head twice after taking a bite, Song Xuan didn't know how he survived in the wild before. The conditions in the wild were definitely not as good as those in the tribe.
"Yo~"
After eating a few mouthfuls of hay, Uncle Song Lu opened the small door, snorted at Song Xuan, and ran outside the tribe. Although the outside was starting to turn yellow, there was still some green grass. These Uncle Deer definitely didn't like the grass before, but now it tastes better than the hay in the tribe.
Song Xuan doesn't care if it likes to eat it or not, it will figure out a way anyway. When the weather gets colder, it will still have to come back and eat the hay.
"Angel, everything is packed!"
"Okay, Wangcai! Let's go!"
Wangcai is no longer the little puppy he was back then. Although he is not yet mature, he is much more ferocious than before. This time, Song Xuan is also planning to take him with him to see the world. Hearing Song Xuan's words Summoning, Wangcai quickly ran back from outside.
"Woo~"
As soon as he came back, he acted coquettishly around Song Xuan, which was somewhat inconsistent with his slightly fierce appearance.
Although there is enough salt in the tribe to last until next year, considering that it won’t be long before the last exchange meeting of the year, I have to take some with me and let other tribes have a taste, at least to get their reputation out there first. , so I finally decided to get some more.
So when Shi Meng and the others came back this time, Song Xuan intercepted the people who had participated in the mining of salt mines. Anyway, the harvest from hunting has been gradually decreasing recently, so it is not a big deal to leave a dozen or so people. Impact.
Now that the hunting team is out working for a few days, it can basically satisfy the consumption of the entire tribe during this period. It is a bit difficult to save more food, but fortunately, enough food has been saved, at least from now on. Even if the tribe doesn't go out, the preserved dried meat and fresh fish can be eaten until next spring.
Wangcai was very excited when he followed him out for the first time. He looked around and sniffed. Although Song Xuan usually didn't take care of him, Wangcai had been raised by the tribe since he was a child, so he usually wouldn't run away. If it's too far away, just play around.
There is enough food for every meal in the tribe, and there are several deer that have played with him since he was a child, so he has no need to run far away.
Wangcai, who has not gone through wilderness survival training, still seems a bit timid. Even if he breaks away from the team, he will catch up after a while, and usually he will not run too far.
Song Xuan also emboldened him. After all, Wangcai was still a wolf. He couldn't just rely on the blood in his bones to look after the home and the courtyard, and he couldn't discard the instincts he should have.
Looking at Wangcai's performance, Song Xuan still felt that it would be good not to feed it too much in the future and let it go hunting on its own from time to time.
Otherwise, if you play with Uncle Deer’s family all day long, you won’t even be able to deal with small animals in the end.
Although Wangcai is not yet mature, his alertness is already quite good. Several times on the road, he has spotted the prey around him before Shi Meng did.
However, the purpose of this time was not hunting, so I didn't let it go up to try. However, through the dense forest, Song Xuan also vaguely heard the movements of several animals. The sounds should not be small. In the future and now, Wongcai probably still can't solve it.
There is no need to bring anything big this time. The biggest things are the bamboos. Two or three people can carry them directly, which is not too troublesome. Others only need to bring daily necessities, so the speed is fast. Many of them started in the morning and arrived in the valley just after noon.
As soon as we arrived at the destination, everyone started to take action. This time we brought people who had been here last time, and there were no newbies, so everyone quickly fell into their roles.
Song Xuan and the water fetcher first connected the bamboo pipes. The bamboos had already been poked in the middle, so they could just connect them directly.
In this way, there is no need to carry water up and down. After bringing the water, just pour it directly into the big funnel, and it will flow along the bamboo pipe into the big tank below.
After a while, the two water tanks were completely filled. If it weren't for the large rocks under the valley, Song Xuan would have really wanted to make a small puddle on the spot.
But even this is enough to make do. The two large tanks only need to be replenished once or twice a day, which can basically meet the needs of salt refining and daily life.
The water-fetching work that originally took two or three people to complete can now be completed by one person in half an hour and back, and the two large water tanks can be filled up. The efficiency has improved a lot.
The manpower saved can naturally be used in other aspects, especially grinding and refining. The manpower problem is still the same as last time. Refining is always the link that lacks the most people.
Soon several pots filled with salt water started to burn. The filter bucket left here last time must be unusable, so Song Xuan brought two large bags of bamboo charcoal this time. He only needed to replace the filter material inside. Just one click.
It's the same place, the same ore, the same group of people, and the efficiency is naturally about the same. After working for a long time, you can already see the salt at the bottom of the pot, but it still has to be the same as last time, wait until everything is done, and then scrape it together. clean.
While eating, Song Xuan realized that Wangcai, who had followed him all the way, was no longer in the valley. He shouted several times, but he didn't see Wangcai.
Did he run away the first time he was brought out?
Seeing that Song Xuan looked a little anxious, Shi Meng quickly helped and howled a few times.
"Prosperity! Wealth!"
…
Shi Meng's voice was obviously much louder than Song Xuan's, and echoes came from all around.
"Woo~"
Sure enough, not long after, a low wolf howl was heard in the distance. After living with Wangcai for so long, everyone still had a good understanding of its timbre, especially since it was still immature. The sound is very different from the wild wolves outside.
As soon as he heard the cry, Shi Meng happily said to Song Xuan:
"Hey, angel, I'm okay with this!"
Although Shi Meng seemed very shy, he had done something good after all. After hearing Wang Zai's voice, Song Xuan was not so worried, so he ignored him and let him continue to be awesome for a while.
As long as Wangcai doesn't escape secretly, Song Xuan is not worried that it will never come back after going out. After all, it was raised from the tribe. Song Xuan is still worried that he will encounter wild beasts outside, and because of its current Ability, even if you really run into the wild and want to fill your stomach, it is not that easy.
The main reason is that it's better when the weather is warmer, and there are more prey of all kinds. Now the number of wild animals, big and small, has begun to decrease. If Wangcai goes out now, he will definitely not survive the winter.
And even if he encountered a small animal, Song Xuan was a little doubtful whether it could handle it.
