After landing on the island, the refugees were divided into two groups by men and women by Rikichi, Shino and others. Then we took these people to the camp to wash up and change clothes separately.
The men in the camp fetch water from the river in the northeast. Since the weather was too cold, we had to wait for it to heat up slowly.
After washing, you can receive new clothes, shoes and socks. After changing clothes, we went to have some porridge, and then we were led to set up the tent.
During Zhao Xin's absence, Li Ji led dozens of people to build a camp according to Zhao Xin's instructions. But because there are too few manpower, we have been so busy these days that we have not even finished the flood control wall on one side.
According to the design of Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng, these flood control walls need to be filled with earth and rock and compacted, and then connected with iron pipes and wires. After that, wooden stakes can be inserted into the ground on both sides of the inner and outer walls of the camp and tightly attached to them. Wall; after the wooden piles of the outer wall are completed, barbed wire will be laid under the wall.
Zhao Xin thought about it carefully and decided to build the flood control wall into two layers for safety reasons. Because the flood control wall he purchased previously was 1.37*1.06, after all the empty iron baskets were stacked, it looked a bit short.
If a tiger or a wild boar makes a leap, it will be impossible to stop it.
The most important thing right now is logging. At the very least, we need to build a circle around the camp. There are many trees on the east and west sides of the camp, making it easy to cut down and move around.
If we rely on manual labor to excavate and fill these flood control wall boxes, we don't know that it will take until the year of the monkey; and winter has come, the ground is very frozen, and it is too slow for these refugees to dig and transport it alone.
If he really couldn't find anyone, Zhao Xin could only drive the excavator by himself. If he didn't know how to do it, he could only force it. Both he and Liu Sheng were a little anxious. If the camp was not built well, the safety of the refugees would not be guaranteed. It would be a big headache if a group of wild animals came in while sleeping.
Because the weather was very cold, Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng began to set up heating stoves and chimneys in the tents of the refugees the day after they returned. Some refugees who had worked as carpenters and masons followed the two of them to learn how to operate them.
After Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng were busy until the evening and clumsily finished a few stoves, these refugees who followed the example could already try to make it themselves.
The next day, Zhao Xin took Liu Sheng, each with a chainsaw, and asked Li Ji and others to get axes and saws to prepare for felling wood.
Neither Zhao Xin nor Liu Sheng are familiar with logging, and this work is too dangerous for them both. The first is that you can easily injure yourself if you are not careful when using the chain saw, and the second is that you are hit by a tree.
So Zhao Xin decided to adopt a cooperative approach based on the videos he had seen in his memory. He first went to the material storage point, removed a few wooden boards from the outer packaging boxes, and then asked a refugee who knew carpentry to flatten one end of the wooden boards with an axe. In this way, a few simple wooden wedges are ready.
Then he selected a tree and asked the refugees to use an ax to cut a gap on one side, and then Zhao Xin used a chain saw to cut a gap on the other side. After the gap was opened, I smashed the wooden wedge into the gap. If one piece was not enough, I smashed another piece. I kept trying for a long time. As the gap gradually widened, someone finally shouted, "The tree is going to fall."
Zhao Xin, Liu Sheng and several helping refugees quickly dispersed, especially since no one could stand on one side of the gap.
Finally, the big tree fell down, and everyone cheered happily.
Once you have the first log, the rest will be easy to handle. First saw off a section and let the carpenter chop out several large wooden wedges.
However, the chainsaw was difficult to use and too heavy for a weak refugee to hold alone. There was nothing Zhao Xin could do about it. No one was selling the big saws that two carpenters used when he was a kid. The largest hand saw he bought was only 16 inches.
After struggling for a whole day, until it was almost dark, I only cut down seven or eight trees. They were not big trees, only thick as thighs.
The branches and tips of the felled trees can be used as firewood for burning stoves, while the trunks are cut into two-and-a-half-meter lengths with saws and placed outside the camp. When the quantity is almost collected, insert it on the side of the outer wall of the camp.
On the third day after returning, Zhao Xin stopped caring. He saw that the refugees were happily working even with hand saws and axes. It's right to think about it, there is no such sharp and easy-to-use steel mouth nowadays.
Thinking that the yacht was about to run out of gas, he and Liu Sheng secretly ran back to modern times at noon. First, we went to the car rental company next to the airport and rented a Volkswagen Caravelle station wagon. It is said that this car is the largest among the models, with nine seats.
Next, we drove to Chinatown, which has the largest number of Chinese people in the city. After asking around for a long time, we finally found a place selling 200-liter oil drums.
After arriving at the place where the oil drums were sold, the two began to fiddle... First, they folded all the seats of the station wagon flat, and found that there was only room for three oil drums at most. Okay, buy three first; then drive to a gas station to buy diesel, take the empty barrels out of the car, fill them up and then move them back into the car; finally, you have to drive to a secluded place for Zhao Xin to put away the oil barrels .
After all this work, go back to buy oil barrels and repeat the above actions over and over again... You can't always go to the same gas station during this period.
You must know that the fuel tank of the yacht has a capacity of 10,000 liters...
The two of them wandered around for a day, and it was already the afternoon of the next day when they returned to the camp, and they had to get on the boat to refuel.
It is said that in the process of buying oil barrels, Zhao Xin discovered outside Chinatown that there was actually a gun shop here. He just glanced briefly through the glass and left quickly. What kind of gun is there? Anyway, Zhao Xin didn't see anything else clearly, so he saw a Gatling on the counter! !
They are indeed a fighting nation, they are really fierce!
The reason for this trouble is that Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng have to rush back to the island country quickly, and then return to the country to attend the gathering of Liu Sheng's comrades on New Year's Day. There's no point going anywhere until the bay freezes over.
Zhao Xin decided that he must apply for a multiple-entry visa to Russia after returning this time. Just running back and forth like this made him exhausted.
But no matter how tired you are, you still have to hold on, because before leaving, you have to call relevant people for a meeting to give instructions.
Zhao Xin took out all the remaining three handicraft samurai swords and three wakizashi and gave them to Katsu Kaishu for safekeeping; some of the clothes and tools had been distributed, and the rest were kept for the time being; all the food was handed over to the Rikichi couple and the Wanzo couple. Responsible.
After the meeting was over, A Miao, who heard from Zhinao that Zhao Xin was leaving tomorrow, sat in the corner of the tent feeling sad with red and swollen eyes.
Nine-year-old A Miao has never had a full meal since she was sensible.
In her vague memory, before her father ran away from home, she drank and complained all day long; while her mother swallowed her anger and never argued with her father; only her grandma sometimes scolded her father.
When she was five years old and she had a younger brother, life at home became even more difficult. Not long after, my father left home and never came back until the village suffered a disaster.
Little A Miao never knew what rice tasted like before she met Sheng Haizhou and the others. The mother used the little rice she secretly saved to make rice soup for her younger brother. She, her grandmother, and her mother all ate rice bran, taro, radish, and sometimes barnyard grass every day.
When the village was hit by a disaster, the mother and her brother had no time to run out of the house and were buried in the mudslide. If grandma hadn't pulled her, little A Miao would have rushed forward crying to dig out her mother and brother.
After her grandma hanged herself, little A Miao suddenly felt that the whole world had gone dark. She was dragged by the villagers in the same village to flee together. After enduring hunger, wind and rain along the way, they arrived at Matsushima Town, where they met Katsu Kaishu and the others.
When she first got on the boat, A Miao shivered when she saw the tall Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng approaching. Because she has never seen such a tall person. After she disembarked from the boat and came to the camp to collect clothes and eat for a few days, she gradually felt at ease.
At the same time, the refugees who came with Zhao Xin before praised Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng in their conversations with the new refugees, especially respecting Zhao Xin like a Bodhisattva. From the mouths of these people, A Miao also felt that this master was a good person.
When the little girl was feeling sad, Zhao Xin walked in with a cage containing a tabby cat.
"A Miao. During these days when I'm gone, I'll leave Duofu to you to take care of." Zhao Xin said as he put the cage on the ground.
A Miao wiped the corners of her eyes and turned to look. Zhao Xin had already opened the cage door, and Master Duofu walked out fearfully.
"Ah~ it's so fat."
Duofu was happily hugged by A Miao and looked at Zhao Xin with a depressed look.
That expression seemed to say, you abandoned me again...
Well, for Zhao Xin, it’s all hallucinations and clouds~~
The cat food and cat litter were placed at Zhinao's place, and Zhao Xin endured his fatigue. He also explained how to feed the cat and how to keep it in a cage to prevent it from running around.
Before going to bed at night, Liu Sheng asked Zhao Xindao boredly while lying on the bed: "Have you fallen in love with the little Lolita again? There is Gu Xi over there in China."
Zhao Xin was wiping his face with a towel and said casually: "What? Who are you talking about?"
"A Miao."
"What a joke! She is still a child." Zhao Xin threw the towel at Liu Sheng.
Liu Sheng didn't get up. He stretched out one hand and grabbed the wet towel.
"What a beast, you think about it every time you think about it." Zhao Xin scolded with a smile, and then said lightly: "Cute and capable, who doesn't like it? But this child A Miao, ever since Sheng Haizhou told me about her After the encounter, it reminded me of someone.”
Liu Sheng asked: "Who do you think of?"
"Axin. Ashin when he was a child."
Liu Sheng was silent after hearing this.
On the day the two set out, a thin layer of ice had formed on the sea surface in the bay.
Amid the shouts of farewell from the crowd on the shore, the yacht sailed away from the bay, and Zhao Xin stood in the cabin and saw little A Miao still waving her hands vigorously.
The two of them did not dare to delay at all this time. One day later, they disembarked at the seaside of Hokkaido. After another setback, Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng returned to the current Hokkaido.
When Zhao Xin turned on his phone, countless messages popped out. There were messages from family, friends, and Gu Xi. There were also several messages from banks and auction companies.
Zhao Xin looked through them one by one. At home, his parents were thinking about him; his friends were asking why he lost contact; Gu Xi was asking when he would be back; the bank was notifying him of the arrival of his account...
Zhao Xin didn't even need to look at the information from the auction company to know that the lot he had entrusted before leaving had already been sold.
