"On How to Live on the Same Side" Wang Qi wrote several pages.
Paper is very common, but is not often used because it is difficult for homemade carbon strips to leave clear enough marks on many papers.
In order to expand the use of alcohol, Wang Qi went south to collect gold and silverware from some marked residences, and also dragged back the remaining tools from several households, including the Diao Lao's house.
In the process, I got two pens with K gold nibs.
During the search, Wang Qi saw many pens, gel pens, markers and other pens of various kinds. Unfortunately, over the past few decades, the agglomerates have either rusted and aged into objects that are difficult to identify.
Pens are the hardest hit area, because rubber and silicone hoses will deteriorate severely within ten years, and most hoses are still sticky.
These two K-gold-tipped fountain pens do not have a hose for absorbing ink. They can be used immediately after dipping in ink. They are very antique styles.
The structure is simple enough, and it uses a K-gold pen tip and is placed in a transparent collection display box. It is in good condition. Wang Qi plans to use them. At least it is much better than wooden boards and homemade carbon strips.
Ink is easy, because pine wood is often burned in the kitchen at home. Remove the exhaust pipe of the stove, and the black stuff scraped out of the inner wall is a certain oily material. There is no need for further processing, just add water to mix. The pen is simple enough and the ink does not need to be so particular.
After trying it, it's not particularly dark, but it works.
The temperature was too low, and the ink kept freezing, which was very annoying. I used empty cans to make a small heater. It was actually a kindling can with better ventilation, and it was also convenient for lighting candles at any time.
There is something wrong with "On How to Live on the Same Side". The content is actually Li Xiang's training plan.
When he started writing these pages, Li Xiang stood aside and looked at them curiously.
Wang Qi explained the matter smoothly:
"There are two of us. Things at home are easily stolen when we go hunting. I think we should add a team to live in."
Drawing on paper, relying on strong physical fitness and a few strokes from time to time, I finally found the feeling of drawing on the spot.
A two-point perspective view of the base building and compound was drawn, and two stick figures were drawn on the fourth floor to represent him and Li Xiang. Then six stick figures were drawn on the other side of the territory, distributed in three random floors.
He looked at Li Xiang and circled the two of them: "This is us, this is the newcomer, what do you think?"
"I, sleep, here?"
"Are you scared?" Wang Qi looked into her eyes and asked.
"No, I'm not afraid." Bobo shook his head, a bit like a mushroom opening an umbrella. No wonder they were confused with mushroom heads.
As the saying goes, things will fall into place when conditions are ripe.
Wang Qi stood up and took her little hand: "Let's go and see which room you like."
There may have been more than one group of survivors in this building in the early days. The doors were often modified and the styles were not uniform.
The door is the last line of security before winter. As the properties gradually improve, the door can be delayed for a while to give time for arming. Therefore, some rooms with reinforced hinges and iron plates can be used.
Li Xiang's thoughts were different from Wang Qi's. He pulled him to look at several rooms and spoke in broken syllables: "I'll...sleep with you."
Wang Qi suddenly felt a huge pressure emerging from an unknown place, and immediately corrected: "It's to live, not to sleep."
Understanding what she meant, he took her to his safe house and started making plans.
Architects build houses. In order to help clients save costs, they sometimes need to perform interior design work. The current conditions are not feasible, but it is not a big problem to carry out some functional area planning.
Looking at the pile of useful and useless things he had collected in the safe house, he lit candles, took out a wooden board with paper and drew pictures, while explaining to Li Xiang.
"From now on, you will live in my house. One half of the living room will be divided into my room. We will get some shelves in the other half to make it a equipment room."
After all, the current situation of the two of them is different from their real living needs. The safe house is mainly used for sleeping, and the remaining space on the fourth to eleventh floor is the daily activity area. There is no design element in converting one bedroom and one living room into two bedrooms.
After drawing the new floor plan and the perspective view of the modified suite, he arranged the two stick figures to lie down and looked at Li Xiang: "How do you think?"
"well."
"Then come and help."
The two of them cleaned the room together, removing some tools and sundries that were rarely used and piling them in the storage room.
Mattresses were moved from elsewhere to set up new beds, relatively intact shelves were used as partitions, and curtains were changed to door curtains and shelves to cover. Even after the functions were divided, the shelves and the side walls of the entrance were used as equipment areas.
Li wants to live in the inner room, and the bedroom door has been slightly strengthened, which will make him feel safer.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Qi reorganized a new version of the "ultimate materials".
The so-called ultimate supplies are things that must be taken with you when you have to abandon the building and run away. If there are not many changes in the surrounding monsters and crowds after the spring, there should be no way to force the two of them to abandon the building, but be prepared, hamster All like this.
There are only three items left in the new version of the final supplies, one roll of steel strand (15 meters), two rolls of wire saw, and an ax without an ax handle, and things like hunting knives will be carried with you.
Two people living together will create new problems: when one person goes outside, the door will be unlatched inside and outside, and the two people will definitely be unable to continue sleeping due to their alertness.
It can be solved by taking shifts, but it is not necessary. The biggest advantage of living together is that the two of them have more time to interact, improve tacit understanding, and accelerate language learning. Working in shifts means doing nothing.
The desk and boss chair that were originally in the living room were left behind, and I tried to use zero-level needlework, fabrics and quilt stuffing to save the boss chair. It’s not very beautiful, but at least it doesn’t hurt my butt when I sit on it.
With the desk, candle, paper and pen, he could coordinate his time a little, and when Li remembered, he would let her do homework or read a book.
...Yes, in addition to basic training in writing homework, Li Xiang has also recently begun to formally learn writing...it is also a bilingual course.
Wang Qi knows that "being a teacher" is not a good word, but he has not seen another child besides Li Xiang. If he finds one in the future, he may not necessarily be smarter than Li Xiang, and the adult's ability to accept is relatively weak, and it will cost more. Learning a new language takes effort. Li Xiang may be the only person who can chat with him in his native language in the future.
This world is too bad. He doesn't want to forget everything in the past and become a pure wastelander. Language will be a good bridge.
On the other hand, his progress in learning the local language is too slow. I don’t know if he has an old mentality. I feel that he needs to use language learning to stimulate Li to want to talk more and help him improve his efficiency.
Moving one side of the building to the other is no small matter. Li thought there were many things to do there.
There was indeed a mummy in the room on the seventh floor that he had not been allowed to enter before. After asking for her permission, Wang Qi helped send the mummy to the corner park for burial, using half of the door panel as a tombstone without any inscription.
By the way, he also threw the corpse of the mummy monster on the eighth floor of his house to the bandit who had just been killed, waiting to be recovered by nature in the spring, so that Li Xiang would not get sick from looking at it all the time.
The most difficult thing is the indoor planting spot on the 11th floor, because there are a few vegetables still alive in the ground.
"Do we need to move this too? The vegetables will die."
The place where vegetables are grown is located in the south room at the junction of the central corridor and the side corridors. The area is between 90 and 100 square meters. The vegetables can still survive at temperatures over minus 20 degrees, all thanks to a heat conduction device.
Heat conduction is a term for high emotional intelligence. It is actually a stove the size of a thermos bottle. The exhaust pipe goes around in the straw mulch film. Because the window on the south exterior wall fell down, it was not connected to the ventilation pipe and was discharged directly indoors.
The amount of heat it provides is very limited, and the total planting area is barely 40 square meters. Only a dozen cabbage and wild potatoes are still struggling in the area closest to the stove.
"Then... no?" Li Xiang seemed to hate these things.
Wang Qi thought about it and decided to give the land to the new residents. If he still farmed the land in the future, he would find a way to get another piece of land on the east side of the building.
The new resident hadn't been seen yet, so he made all the arrangements that needed to be made and took Li Xiang to the south to look for Mantis again.
It's been two months since the old lady's family moved, and they probably spent a lot of effort decorating their new home. If they want to trick others into living together, they must at least have visible benefits, such as dozens of kilograms of free meat.
Of course, Wang Qi can find a way to add attributes to one of them to enhance his intention, but the increase in energy consumption brought about by adding attributes will ultimately have to fall on food.
The use of alcohol can only be developed later.
