Orcs’ Time Through Time

Chapter 16: Settled home

When I was bored in the cave, I spun the flax and ramie I collected, and used two warp threads, two weft threads, and a heald made of two meters long. A piece of cloth, because there is no cloth, so I spun the cotton and weave the cloth, linen and ramie cloth. I made two knee-length summer shirts like Gurema costumes for Luo Lei and myself. Scatter made himself a vest and a pair of knee-length shorts. Cotton cloth made two sets of underwear and underwear.

Luo Lei didn't wear underwear and panties, and I didn't want him to see me wear them, so I had to help him wear them. When I was wearing underwear, I wanted him to put his stuff in the underwear. I explained it over and over again, but this shameless guy insisted that he didn’t know it, and when I was so angry, I had to do it. Take care of him, but just stuff him in. Sure enough, the people here are all big, and someone doesn't know whether it is average or talented. It makes me a little hot, especially compared to my own cucumber, I sweat. This person is really not a person. Someone smiled and asked me, OK? What's so good? ! Do you think I am original? Lao Tzu is a cross species, no matter how good you are, you are not as good as Lao Tzu himself! This is a circumstantial remark, which reminds me of a certain advertisement. (Don’t doubt, it’s the **** treasure, he is good or me, XD)

Just over half a month later, the outside began to thaw, and there was the sound of running water and rain. The males in the clan can go out hunting, but they will not move to the campsite for the time being. There is still a month or so in the rainy season, and everyone will move back after the rainy season. After all, a dry environment is better for people's health.

Not only did the food stored in the clan not be eaten in winter, but there was still some leftovers. Of course, I also had a lot of leftovers in my own reserves. So even if spring comes, everyone is not in a hurry. With traps and fishing, the prey in the clan can not only feed the whole clan but also more than that. The patriarch began to organize the males to make it according to my vision. house.

In the morning, everyone will go hunting or harvest prey in traps. In the afternoon, everyone will collect wood for processing. Although it rains sometimes, no one is lazy. In order to keep everyone out of the cold, I will also cook a big pot of salt and **** soup for everyone in the tent. No way, I still have no way to make sugar. The sugar that our company used to make was made from beets and sugar cane. Here I am. No beets have been found, and no sugar cane has been seen. Everyone could drink a bowl of **** soup at the door as soon as they came back, and they were all very happy, and from time to time they would express their admiration for Luo Lei. I just listened to it as if I hadn't heard it.

I have seen the terrace where the tribe is located from the mountain. It is probably a semicircle with a radius of three to four hundred meters. The area is actually not small, but only a small part of the tribe is originally empty, and most of it is If there are trees or something, just keep it as it is. Although the vacant land has become a bit bigger after people have settled here in the past few years and cut down trees, there is still a lot of space on the terraces.

The place I chose was the middle of the terrace, which was towards the side of the creek and near the foot of the mountain, but it was still a little out of the original fence of the tribe. In fact, if everyone builds a house in the future, the original fence of the tribe will be too small. My goal is to install a fence made of sharpened wooden stakes on the perimeter of the entire terrace, which expands the area on the one hand. On the one hand, the **** between the platform and the plain can also be used as a natural protection. Generally speaking, those bisons do not climb up the **** very much. If someone comes from the plain, it is easier to find it when standing on the edge of the platform. .

The people of the tribe now basically agree with my ideas, and I also told them that if every family builds a house in the future, they must expand the scope of the tribe, so everyone agrees, but in order to protect my house, I also decided to install a fence around my house. Later, my house became the only house with fences in the clan for more than ten years, and it was also the largest house in the clan. After that, the record of the larger house was also renovated by me. The house was created.

Because there are a lot of uncut trees on the platform, I asked everyone to chop down those trees on the platform that are not at the foot of the mountain. The big trees that grow are left behind to make houses, and the smaller ones are processed to make cabinets. Furniture such as, desks, storage shelves and beds. Everyone looks at those very strange.

What I want to build is just a very simple wooden house, so the method is relatively simple. First, I bury those pine trees with different heights of more than ten meters into the soil to make pillars, and put a large stone around it for stability. I filled the gaps between the blocks with some loess mixed with sand, dry grass, grass roots and the like, and then buried a layer of soil on it, and then pressed a layer of stones about one meter high on the soil. , The middle of the rock is still filled with a mixture of soil, sand and grass roots. The reason why it is so troublesome is because I am very afraid of insects and snakes, especially in such places where there is no serum and no medical treatment, so I would rather do more. Some preparations.

After the foundation was laid, the logs of different lengths were placed along the pillars, using the buttonhole method, and keyholes were made in some logs, and then the other logs were inserted into the keyholes, and then used The hides are fastened, and as long as there are no termites that do not catch fire, it should be no problem for ten years.

The floor is also first built with logs, leaving a place for the firepit in the middle, and then laying a layer of flattened wooden boards on it for walking. The roof adopts a **** type. In order to prevent water leakage, under the roof made of round pieces of wood, I also nailed a layer of bamboo pipes split in half along the gap, and the bamboo pipes were interwoven underneath. A layer of wood is nailed in the direction, which is not only beautiful, but also prevents water leakage to a certain extent.

I think it is in modern times. A house like mine cannot be built. It is too wasteful of materials. But in this primitive society where there are few people and many trees, this big tree is not afraid of me wasting it. Of course, I also told the tribe. Although we are not afraid of the lack of wood now, it only takes a day to cut a tree, and it takes decades to grow into a tree. Therefore, unless the land used for living is to be cleared, the land on other lands Trees can be used directly on the spot, even if they can be used to make the pillars of the house, do not chop those that can be used. If you cut a tree on the mountain, you must look at at least one of the three nearby trees. If there are already two stumps next to a tree, no matter how good the wood is, it must not be felled again, and if After cutting down two trees, you must plant at least one small tree on the spot within a year. It is best to use a small tree of the same species. If you only know how to plunder and don't know how to return, the gods will get angry one day. Perhaps because of the belief in the gods here, everyone thought I was the messenger of the gods in their hearts, and they all agreed. Later, this became one of the rules of the tribe.

A total of five houses were built, and the middle of the front row was a hall and kitchen with a size of about 80 square meters. It used twelve pillars with a diameter of half a meter. There is a big firepit in the middle where you can put four clay pots to cook things at the same time. The firepit is hewn out of a huge stone, about forty centimeters deep, and the edges are tightly fastened to the empty space of the firepit made of stone slabs. There are more than 20 centimeters of edges around and above it can be used to prevent sparks from coming to the wood floor and causing fire. The whole is a huge stone basin. Of course, there are also shelves for hanging clay pots and bacon, and if you don’t need such a big firepit, you can put two buckled stones in the firepit, then you can divide the big firepit into four smaller ones. Fire pond.

I originally wanted to make the firepit a separate house, but considering that it is too cold in winter, it is better to sit in the hall to meet actual needs. When it is too cold in winter, I can move the bed to the firepit in the hall to sleep. I built two houses with a size of more than 30 square meters on both sides of the front, and planned to live in one for Luo Lei and one for me. Because Luo Lei now likes to touch me more and more, and even a few times I was forced to feel his enthusiasm, so continuing to sleep together will only make the situation worse. And he also protested to me that he would be embarrassed when I touched him before, and he would not let me touch him, but I like to touch him; now he lets me touch him, but I don't touch him.

Faintly feeling frightened by these facts, I have made up my mind not to touch him or let him touch me. In my opinion, it is too unrealistic to talk about love with primitive people, especially with men in primitive society. I feel like "..." when I think about what will happen next, and I am completely overwhelmed by him. Not interested in. So I planned to sleep with him in separate beds to let him calm down, so I also made a bed in each of the two rooms.

Because the wood used as a pillar is generally taller, in addition to about five meters buried underground, one meter used to make a platform on the ground, and four meters for the first floor of the house, the highest is more than three meters, and the shortest is also The one-meter attic is used as a warehouse for storing things. I even secretly made up my mind to save all the attic full harvest this winter.

Behind the hall is a corridor about three meters wide and nine meters long, which can be walked into the backyard. There is also a room of about 30 square meters behind each of the two bedrooms. The initial plan is to be the work room and tool room for Luo Lei and I. After all, my pile of things also takes up a lot of space. If you do more and more things in the future, you need space for storage.

After a house about ten meters away, I designed a row of wooden sheds for raising cattle, sheep, wild boars, and so on. There is also a toilet between the pig pen and the cow pen. I can't bear the feeling that the manure tank is under my feet, so I dug a small ditch in the toilet and flowed to the back of the house. There is a small ditch behind the entire row of wooden sheds. After washing the cowshed and pigsty, the excrement can be drained into the manure tank behind the wooden shed along the small ditch. The manure pond was dug relatively low, and the first manure pond was dug relatively shallow. I plan to fill this shallow manure pond and grow vegetables on it after a period of time. Of course, this reserved vegetable field is also very vast, extending to the foot of the mountain.

From the house to the wooden shed, more than ten meters are temporarily empty. I plan to wait for everyone to settle down, and Luo Lei slowly built a row of chicken and duck sheds on the side near the cow pen. Make a small wooden shed with pounding and stone milling next to the house—it would be too much to demolish the house if you pound the millet and oil residue in the house.

On the opposite side, close to the pigsty, a row of goose sheds and rabbit cages will be made. Then these sheds will be concave in the backyard, and the place in the middle of the concave shape near the house will be reserved for vegetable plots, and they will be planted in the backyard of the house. For the food I eat, both sides of the house plan to make vegetable plots. When I see it, I can find what to grow here. There is a pool near the door of the house where the sun rises, which draws the water from the creek into a circle. I plan to get some fish to raise at that time, and the door on the other side leaves a few big trees for use. For shade, there is a fence made of sharpened wooden stakes around the house, so you don’t have to worry about safety when you stay in the yard.

The entire yard plus the vegetable field at the back must have about four acres of land. Of course, the vegetable field is still vacant. This is also one of the benefits of primitive society. With more land and fewer people, you can take up as much as you want. In the spring, I also found some pyrethrums on the grassland and transplanted dozens of them around the house. About 20 or so of them survived. I plan to look for seeds at that time and try to plant a circle around the house. It's beautiful and practical.

The door I used was the type of revolving door in rural areas with wooden bolts. This method is relatively simple. The windows are of the ancient hanging type and can be supported by wooden sticks. The wooden sticks are used during the day. It supports opening the window and can be used as a latch for the window at night.

Because Luo Lei is about two meters high, in order to take care of him, the door of our house is also about three meters high, and the floor height of the house is about four meters, which is not very accurate. I used my hand to measure the size, and then Carved on a wooden stick can only be said to be approximate.

I actually saw some tung oil trees last year, but I didn’t think so much at the time. Up to now, all the wood is logs. I think I will collect some tung oil trees this year and get some tung oil to brush the wood. But now You can only think about it first.

It took more than a month to build the house, including the fence. On the day it was built, more than ninety people from the whole clan watched outside the courtyard for a long time. The high priest sighed and said that he had never thought that there was such a thing in the world. This is probably the life of the gods. I secretly smiled in my heart, I don't know what the life of the gods is, at least a rich peasant in the Song and Ming Dynasties can live much better than this. As for the red hairs in the United States that occupy a place and have a lower and lower fertility rate, they can be considered to have been living in paradise since the Civil War.
