The whole family travels through time: escape from famine! No cheat codes yet!
Chapter 37 Building a Shelter
Oh my god! I finally found it.
Shen Zhiqiu excitedly dragged his daughter forward and asked, "Have you found water?"
Wang Fuxi nodded excitedly: "We found water and bamboo. When we first saw the bamboo, we planned to see if there was any water inside as Yoyo said. We found a water bubble after entering the bamboo forest."
When Shen Zhiqiu and his companions arrived at the water's edge, in this weather, they did not dare to hope to encounter a large puddle of water that they could dive into for several circles. However, the depth was so deep that they could not even reach their ankles. Was it a joke on them?
How shallow can this bubble be?
Even Shen Luming's little hand could just barely get through, and the depth was about 10 centimeters.
Everyone has to use a small bowl to scoop it out little by little.
The most important thing is that the water is yellow and many mosquitoes are floating on the surface. If you drink this water, you will probably get diarrhea and parasites.
Oh! This situation is not good!
Mr. Shen, Grandpa Shen and the others also hurried over here.
"Third brother, how are you?" Grandpa Shen's voice came before he even arrived.
When everyone saw the water, their hearts sank.
The water we finally found was so shallow that it was not even enough to feed the livestock.
Each of their faces looked as if they had lost their parents.
Seeing everyone's faces, Shen Zhiqiu said, "It's okay. Since there is water here, it proves that there is water under the soil. Let's dig down and we will find water.
You can't drink this water like this. Look at the water, it's burnt yellow and there are so many little bugs in it. It won't heal you if you drink it. You'll get sick."
He turned to look at his daughter and said, "Yoyo, the water filtering job is now up to you. You lead your brothers and sisters to do it!"
Shen Youyou nodded and made an OK gesture with her hand to indicate that it was no big deal.
Shen Zhiqiu arranged for everyone: "Let's all cut bamboos. Before cutting, shake them. If you can hear the sound of water, make a small hole to collect water.
The water can be drunk, it must be clean, and the cut bamboo cannot be thrown away.
Let's find some thick bamboos to build a frame and then build 2-meter-high platforms to sleep on at night. Then we won't be afraid of wild beasts, snakes, insects, rats or ants.
Okay, let's get started. We probably have to stay here for two more days. Let's tidy up the useless things at home and throw away what needs to be thrown away.
When we set out again, we must bring more bamboo tubes to store water. Who knows if we can find water ahead."
When everyone heard this, they were satisfied with the arrangement. When the third brother arranged things, they knew what to do.
First, leave a few people with shovels to dig a well next to the water bubble.
The other women went to look for bamboos with water in them and used buckets and basins to collect water, while the men cut bamboos and built racks.
Shen Youyou stood in front of the children and assigned them tasks:
"Yuanbao, you will be the captain and lead your brothers and sisters to pick up stones, big and small."
After saying that, she kicked the pebbles on the ground, motioning for them to pick them up.
"The boys and girls will be divided into groups. In the first group, Sister Daya and Sister Taohua will lead them to the water bubble to pan for fine sand. But be careful not to sink into it. If someone sinks into it, use a bamboo pole to pull him out immediately."
"The second group, Dabao led people to cut bamboo and made it into one step long. Then they used buckets and basins to get water from over there for use."
Seeing the eldest brother nod, Shen Youyou continued:
"The third group, Erbao and his team built a square reservoir with mud.
There should be a half-meter high pier under the pool, and then the pool should be built on top. It should be as big as possible and the pool should be one meter deep. "
Finally, Shen Youyou clapped her hands:
"Now that you understand, get started. Once this is done, I'll teach you how to make a straw hat out of bamboo. It's much easier than making one out of grass, and it's quicker to make. Children, I'll teach you how to make a bamboo grasshopper then. Work hard!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone dispersed and started to work, feeling quite happy.
Their parents told them to learn more from Yoyo, things that ordinary people cannot learn.
Even if they don't flee from famine, they can still sell things like straw hats for money. No one else can make them, only people in Shenjia Village can.
Shen Youyou was still sighing at how well-behaved the children in ancient times were. They would do whatever they were told to do. It was not difficult to fool them. Making straw hats was also work, so she was so excited.
Shen Youyou had assigned all the work to others, so what was she supposed to do? She couldn't be a supervisor.
Of course not, she took her sister Erya to burn bamboo charcoal.
In order to get bamboo charcoal quickly, Shen Youyou first went to ask Brother Dalang for a lot of one-meter-long thick bamboo poles.
Arrange them in piles and light them on fire.
These bamboos were all wet, and when they were lit, a lot of smoke came out. I was really worried that their position would be exposed.
When all the bamboos are burning, cover the fire with soil to put it out.
Wait half an hour, and then dig up the soil. Although the success rate of this method is low, it is fast, and even if the bamboo charcoal is not successful, you can continue to burn it.
Shen Youyou and the other two picked and chose, took out the ones that were almost burnt, put them in a wooden basin, and smashed them with stones until they were the size of a fingernail.
"Girl, why don't you use a small earthen kiln to burn bamboo charcoal?"
Shen Zhiqiu was originally working hard, but suddenly he remembered to check on his daughter's progress.
When he got there and saw it, he was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. His daughter's way of making charcoal was too simple and crude!
"The charcoal burning method you mentioned won't take two or three days, right? I want to do it faster, so I can only use this method, but the success rate is indeed a bit low.
If you want to burn charcoal, you don't need to make a kiln. You just need to dig a big hole, spread hay on the bottom of the hole, and stand bamboo sticks upright inside.
Then light the hay in the cracks, burn the bamboo thoroughly, and cover it with soil. After a day or two, dig it up and you will have charcoal.
But I think it's best to do it at night. Just a few bamboos can produce so much smoke. It would be bad if someone discovered our current location." Shen Youyou explained carefully.
Shen Zhiqiu thought this was a good idea and decided to try it with everyone in the evening. This would save trouble and be convenient. If you need filtered water in the future,
There is no need to go through the trouble of filtering and burning charcoal first. You can directly make some bamboo tube-type filtering devices and keep them ready for use at any time.
Shen Zhiqiu saw that his daughter had made good arrangements and stopped worrying about it.
They returned to the men's team and began the work of cutting bamboo to build a shelter.
He thought that he could build the surroundings and the roof when he had time, since the bamboo was much older.
Especially the one he built for his daughter himself. It was a standard bamboo house. He thought that if there was water, everyone could wash up a little.
If it really doesn't work, get a filter for the flushing water and feed it to the livestock. The more fresh the water, the better.
There were clanging sounds of axes and knives chopping, and Shen Zhiqiu was full of energy.
Bamboo is really the best material for building houses. It is tough and straight.
The roof of the bamboo house is very simple. Just split a bamboo in the middle, open the bamboo joints, place them on top of each other, and secure them with ropes.
