Wolf King

It is very sad to say, there is no container for soaking beans, Xiao Yun can only spread the black beans directly on the bottom of the bean sprout pit, and do the process of soaking and fermenting at the same place...

For the first time soaking hair, Xiao Yun was more cautious. After blocking the drainage ditch, he spread out the black beans that weighed about ten catties by hand in a bean sprout pit that was one meter long and half a meter wide (it was all based on feeling), and poured them into the bean sprouts. Two buckets of water that have been heated and cooled to room temperature (although natural water bubbles are fine, but Xiao Yun is always worried that there will be too many bacteria in the water will affect it), and then covered with a grass cover made of reed stalks, it is considered complete— —Because black beans are not a fully domesticated bean species on the earth, and still have the disadvantages of wild soybeans with thick skins and few cores, Xiao Yun estimated that the soaking process could not be done for about ten hours like mung bean sprouts, so he decided to change the water the next day.

Another day of tribal volunteer work...

The next day, Xiao Yun ran to the river in the dark to observe his bean sprouts before dawn. He slightly lifted the reed cover and reached in to touch it... Well, after soaking for more than 24 hours, all the shells of the black beans have cracked and sprouted. The buds are gone.

Dig the drain hole and wait for the water to drain out, then do not plug it, but put a small handful of rolled up hay inside the drain hole - make sure no bugs get in and keep some drainage Breathable function. (If water accumulates inside, it will cause the bean sprouts to rot and deteriorate)

Next, press down the reed cover that was originally placed flat on the bean sprout pit, preferably to the surface of the black beans, and then cover the reed cover with two more layers of animal skins - proper pressure can make the bean sprouts grow taller , the roughly processed animal hide has a certain weight, and it can also maintain the temperature and humidity in the bean sprout pit.There is no need to worry about crushing the bean sprouts. The sprouted bean sprouts can hold up to the ground even a statue of a Bodhisattva weighing [-] catties...

"If you have large clay pots and jars, you don't have to worry about it."

After finishing the most basic work of soaking hair, all he needs to do is pour water twice a day in the morning and evening. Xiao Yun's work focus has once again shifted to the mud-brick house that he has been thinking about to "surprise" his clansmen.

"The average height of an adult snow werewolf in human form is [-] meters. Even if only one floor is built, the height of the house must be about [-] meters, otherwise it will be too stuffy... The roof cannot be built flat, otherwise it will be crushed by snow in winter. It is enough to directly imitate the earthen houses in the countryside and build the walls into a sloping roof with a high front and a low rear... For the beams, using reed poles as the roof is not a very picky beam material, but you have to find a few suitable trees. , um, you have to cut down the tree in advance to cool off the water vapor."

Xiao Yun didn't expect to build a mud-brick house to last ten years or decades, but it was the most basic requirement to live there for two or three years without causing major problems. After it was dried to dry, Xiao Yun dragged the horns and started the process of searching for wood like a headless chicken.

It is not an exaggeration to say that, the trees on the grassland are all grown naturally, and there are all kinds of strange shapes, but there are not many trees with straight trunks... I have not seen any straight branches that can reach Xiao Yun's expected length!

After leading Xiao Yun for half a morning, there was no suitable target, and the bull's horn was annoying, so he simply took him straight to the primeval jungle to the west of the tribe—of course, the bull's horn would not be enough to bring the cub into the jungle, but The number of trees in the perimeter is striking enough.

This is about the second time Xiao Yun has seen the scenery far away from the safe zone of the tribe since he came to this world. After walking straight west of the tribe for half a morning (at least three hours according to the shifting position of the sun), Xiao Yun finally saw it. It is different from the high mountains on the prairie that are not more than [-] meters above sea level. At a glance, there are boundless and continuous mountains. Compared with the flat prairie, it seems that the earth was covered by an invisible bird countless millions of years ago. Rubbing vigorously with his hands, it looks like wrinkles that can't be seen at the edge.

The so-called looking at the mountains and running dead horses, being able to see the mountains does not mean that the two of them will enter the range of the mountains, but it is indeed enough... The primitive jungle that no one cuts down has been expanding wantonly for countless years, and the mountains can be seen When I was in the forest, there were more trees in front of me. Compared with the sparse number on the grassland, it is not an exaggeration to call it a forest.

Xiao Yun was still about to go forward, but Niu Jiao grabbed him back with his hand, and pressed his shoulders to hold him in place. This usually naive bastard brother had a rare serious expression: "You stand here , which tree you want, I'll get it."

"..." Xiao Yun didn't bother to complain whether he was overprotective or dead-headed. He had already deeply felt that the snow werewolf couldn't make sense with his tongue when he admitted death, "It's okay, there are about three to four of your height, Trunks or branches that are thicker than your thigh, you can get them back when you see them."

Anyway, reed poles and wood chips are fine for the roof material, and it does not require too high load-bearing capacity.

Niu Jiao tilted his head to think, and used his brain to memorize Xiao Yun's words. Before leaving, he still reminded him: "Stand here and don't move, or I won't play with you anymore."

Xiao Yun: "...All right, all right." He listened to everything, not to mention buying oranges.

Niu Jiao ran into the forest with his crankbone machete that he didn't know what kind of animal bone he used to grind it. Xiao Yun looked around, and simply squatted down to pick a few wild vegetables... He also cultivated a snow werewolf to "eat and not waste" "I'm used to it, there's nothing I can do about it, whoever lives in this world where productivity is almost non-existent, can't feel good after starving for a few meals...

I don’t know if it’s because of the proximity to the forest. The surrounding plants are not only lush but also of many types. It’s a pity that Xiao Yun knows the common wild vegetables. If he doesn’t know them, he can only look at them...but he found them behind a relatively large rock. There are several clumps of raspberries next to each other, and I quickly found a few slender grass stems, picked off the parts that were hidden under the leaves and were not eaten by birds, and put them on a string—err, the snow werewolf’s sharing spirit is also close to Zhu Zhe red.

"I remember that in the natural environment, migratory birds are an important way for species to spread. It is very common for the seeds in the south to be eaten by birds and brought to the north to pull them out. Therefore, there are many more species around this forest than on the grassland. It is a great treasure— ——" Xiao Yun looked up at the sky above the forest. The sound of ox horns chopping down trees startled many birds, chirping non-stop. , let alone let me go into the forest... and I can’t sneak away, if I run too much, maybe the patriarch will tie me to his belt.”

The patriarch of the tribe has to count the number of cubs in the tribe every day. The reproduction of the tribe is the top priority for the patriarch. If the patriarch does not allow it, even if he insists on running around, he will be taken back by the tribe... According to Wool and the others, Every snow werewolf cub will have the experience of being picked up by the tribe more than once, for example, he was picked up by Ah Shan before...

When Xiao Yun put the picked raspberries among the wild vegetables and wrapped them with straw, Niujiao also came back carrying four tree trunks of uniform thickness and length of about six to eight meters.After returning, the buddy didn't speak, but just looked at him with resentful eyes, which made Xiao Yun's skin goosebumps, the buddy raised the crankbone machete in his right hand with several gaps missing, with an aggrieved expression on his face expression.

Xiao Yun: "...Niujiao, you have worked hard." Opened the package of wild vegetables, and handed him all the raspberries he picked.

...Just a few ounces of raspberries, and Niu Jiao's aggrieved old face immediately turned cloudy... Xiao Yun didn't even have the energy to complain.

A hungry meal is a common thing for the snow werewolves, and the two of them didn't say anything about eating wild food. They directly rushed back to the tribe against the four hard-earned beams, and then the diligent tribe warrior Niujiao immediately ran to him. As for Xiao Yun, he showed his claws and peeled the bark...

It was not an easy task to scrape off the bark of the four logs with claws. After finishing the work, his four fingers were so sore. Just like that, when eating the big pot meal that night, the wool guys justly accused him of the whole Playing in the afternoon, not working with the friends, so the patriarch talked to him after dinner, telling him not to be too playful, even if he is playful, try to play with his friends , don't be so misfits...

Unable to hold back, Xiao Yun had no choice but to confess to the patriarch: "I'm really not playing. In fact, I've been busy with the preparations for building a mud-brick house these days. It's good to ask Niujiao to cut down the trees with me today. Even mud bricks made in a few days are good materials for building houses.”

"House?" The patriarch paused and repeated the word.

"Patriarch, do you know the house?!" Xiao Yun became excited all of a sudden, God is pitiful, when he said the word house to Niujiao and Wool, and even his uncle Ashan, they all showed him with a dumbfounded expression.

The patriarch nodded, but looking at his expression, he seemed even more confused: "The tauren tribe has wooden houses, the tiger tribe's royal court has stone houses, and human cities also have many houses... Mud can also build houses. ?”

Xiao Yun was refreshed, as expected of an old man in the tribe, the patriarch is well-informed, talking to someone who understands things is better than entanglement with fools: "Of course you can't just use mud, water It will collapse as soon as it is washed, and the slag will fall off when the wind blows, so I asked Niujiao to help, and I made mud bricks with me for a few mornings. This mud brick is made of yellow clay mixed with black soil, plus grass and reeds, and After soaking in water, step on it vigorously to make it sticky, and then fix it into a block with a wooden mold. After drying, although it is not as strong as stone, it can be used to build a house. Compared with the manpower and material resources required for quarrying, the production of mud bricks is much simpler. It can be done with me and the horns."

The wise patriarch was stunned by throwing such a long sentence: "You mean, use mud...mud bricks, mud bricks are the same as wood and stone, and can build a house?"

"Yes, the cost of building, er, is the time and manpower required, which is lighter than wooden houses and stone houses." Xiao Yunbi explained, "The house built with the stones collected It was built up piece by piece, right? Then the solidified mud bricks can also be built like this. Four walls are built, leaving doors and ventilation windows. Go up to the reed poles by the river, hold them down with something like stone or wood, and the shape of the house will come out... er, patriarch?"

The patriarch, who was originally sitting cross-legged and talking to him, now moved his buttocks almost to Xiao Yun's nose, and stared at him with shining eyes.

"I've lived in a tauren's wooden house. Can a house made of mud bricks be the same as a wooden house, and it's also warm when it snows?" the patriarch asked in a low voice, panting heavily.

"It's warmer than a wooden house!" Xiao Yun was categorical. It's not like he's never lived in a wooden house before. Going to the special romantic pastoral style, sleeping in a wooden house when the weather is cold can kill people - when the wooden house is built in the countryside, the outer layer of the wooden wall is covered Why do you need to brush a layer of mud with straw, because it's cold, brother!

"Starting tomorrow, the horns will be yours!" The patriarch patted Xiao Yun's arm firmly, resolutely.

Xiao Yun: "..." Wait, is there anything weird about this statement? !

Early the next morning, the patriarch really picked a strong man from the people in charge of grazing to be the new tribal warrior, and brought the horns to Xiao Yun...

Bull horns out of the situation: "Eh, huh? I'm not going to patrol anymore?"

Xiao Yun: "..."

Anyway, the patriarch didn't care about why the cub Ayun in the tribe suddenly became "learned and talented", and didn't waste time and energy guessing whether Ayun was possessed by the devil, but fully supported Xiao Yun in building a house. It's a good thing after all——Xiao Yun has already discovered that the human like Sal is unwilling to eat wild vegetables and his improved barbecue, as if bowing his head in front of the food is an insult to the mud-bodied god he believes in.

It is really lucky not to travel to the human society in this world. Once again, Xiao Yun honestly used the strong labor of horns: the first batch of mud bricks were dried, and he had to choose a site to build a house and dig the foundation—— — It’s not okay to build directly on the mud. Xiao Yun’s uncle’s house needs to dig the foundation to build a pigsty. He won’t suffer from such a dull loss.

After walking around the tribe twice, Xiao Yun decided to build the mud-brick house behind his collapsed tent.Without a tape measure, he used a few grass poles to connect them together as a standard line for marking, and roughly marked the scope of the foundation to be dug on the ground. After letting the horns do the hard work, he took the chicken feather order given by the patriarch to let the wool A few of them went to pick up stones with him... Anyway, there was no concrete to use, so he had to find a substitute, so after much deliberation, it would not be impossible to pour stones of different sizes into the river bottom mud mixed with reeds to form the foundation.

Carrying the mud from the bottom of the river back also requires tools, which is a bit troublesome. Xiao Yun scratched his scalp for a long time... He simply took out two pieces of his own privately produced animal skins and covered them on the mat made of rattan and straw. Using the same vines and using branches of appropriate length as poles, a pair of extremely primitive picks was produced.

After collecting the hill-like stones and making a good load, Xiao Yun went to check the foundation dug by Niujiao. Xiao Yun had already made preparations for his own secondary processing, and this guy was so capable that he even dug out astonishing height differences from the bottom of the foundation.

There was no other way, Xiao Yun could only let the bull's horns do mindless tasks such as moving bricks and cutting reeds, and resigned himself to transforming into a wolf shape, showing his claws and pawing the foundation...

The author has something to say: It is really hard work where there is nothing and everything has to be done by yourself!
