Chapter 307
The Eagle King finally agreed that Chu Yang no longer had to sleep in the "palace" at night!
Chu Yang was so happy!
Wife, I'm here...
Tong Xuemei found medicine to treat diarrhea, and with acupoint massage, Chu Yang recovered quickly.
Three days later, more than 5,000 bricks were dried!
It's true that men and women work together and don't get tired.
During these three days, the Eagle King watched them all the time, and he didn't understand what the little people were doing at all...
The next step is to build a brick kiln.
Chu Yang made a disposable brick kiln, which is not particularly difficult.
Stack the bricks into a circle, leaving a gap in the middle to fill with charcoal.
Finally, cover the outside with soil.
With Jackson's help, it took more than two hours to build it.
The women also helped to collect firewood.
The firewood was stuffed into the eight burning holes at the bottom of the brick kiln, and then six holes were sealed with firewood, leaving only two for adding firewood.
Thick smoke rolled up.
The next step is to wait for the kiln to be opened and bricks to be taken two days later.
Chu Yang was not idle during these two days. He started making tiles and building a pottery kiln.
Two days later, more than a thousand smooth tiles were produced!
After that, they spent another three days laying the foundation.
The house was designed to face north and south, with three bedrooms and a living room.
Yangzi and Tong Xuemei shared a room, Chu Yang and Xia Ruoyan shared a room, and Jackson had a single room to himself...
When laying the foundation, Jackson asked, "There is no cement here, how can the bricks be glued together?"
Chu Yang had thought about this long ago, so he used clay as an adhesive.
Fortunately, the mud by the lake is very sticky, and it is not much worse than cement mortar for bricklaying!
The window frames and door frames are made by riveting wood.
It took another two days to build the roof.
The logs were laid diagonally, and the tiles were placed in the gaps, one next to the other, so they would not fall off.
Because there was no need to worry about extreme weather such as storms and blizzards, building the roof was relatively simple.
It was just that building the logs was very laborious.
The logs were very heavy, but the Eagle King acted as a crane.
It quickly mastered the trick and carried the logs one by one to the roof without any effort!
It chirped excitedly, calling Chu Yang to see the results.
Chu Yang naturally praised it a lot...
When the roof was completed, the outline of the house began to appear, and only the decoration and furniture were left.
Chu Yang also surrounded a small courtyard with shrubs, and the women found pebbles to pave a narrow path, which was quite elegant.
Because there were no tiles, only bricks could be used to pave the floor.
In addition, a kang was built in each room, so that people did not have to sleep on the ground and stay away from moisture!
After a full fifteen days of hard work, the house was completed!
Standing in front of the house, everyone was ecstatic!
And Chu Yang was overwhelmed by the praise...
Humph!
Didn't you say it was a fantasy at the beginning?
However, in the past ten days, Chu Yang also found that although it was as warm as spring here, there were still four seasons.
It just won't be extremely cold or hot.
A few days ago, there was a spring rain in the valley. Although it wasn't as violent as a rainstorm, the five people still got wet.
In addition, everyone had been exhausted during this period, especially Chu Yang, who was extremely excited and tired.
The five people sneezed one after another.
They caught a cold...
The Eagle King's saliva seemed to be effective only for external injuries. In the end, thanks to Tong Xuemei's antibiotics and Xia Ruoyan's herbal soup, the five people's condition was under control.
They didn't choose an auspicious day and moved in directly!
The women finally got rid of the dark and damp cave and didn't have to sleep in the open air. They were very excited.
In the evening, they held a housewarming party in the valley!
Although the Eagle King didn't allow them to catch birds, they could catch fish in the river.
Yangzi cut some fish meat, picked wild garlic, and used the boiled lard to make a fried fish fillet and boiled a pot of fish soup.
It was delicious and rich, and it left a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth.
After dinner, everyone moved the firewood and pots to the kitchen, and Chu Yang said:
"We will build a stove tomorrow and say goodbye to the campfire life!"
At nightfall.
Chu Yang and Xia Ruoyan came to their own cabin and talked to each other.
Chu Yang was cheerful and humorous, which made Xia Ruoyan laugh.
As the saying goes, when you are full and warm, you will think about sex...
The two of them put down the door curtain and immersed themselves in the gentle land...
Although Yangzi and Tong Xuemei had known each other for a short time, they had a deep sisterly love, and they also slept in each other's arms...
Only Jackson was lying in the single room to entertain himself...
In the morning, several people all had dark circles under their eyes.
Jackson protested, "Although this is a deserted island with no taboos, and although you are all experiencing love for the first time and it is easy to fall into happiness, please keep the noise down and consider the singles next door... Thank you."
Chu Yang hugged him and laughed, "I told you to start early, now it's good, we have a lesbian couple... How about I accompany you on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and her on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, and rest on Sundays?"
Jackson blinked and emphasizedHead, kicked out by Chu Yang.
A day's work started with jokes and frolics.
If the house can be built, the stove is no problem.
While Chu Yang was building, the women washed clothes, cooked and cleaned, and Jackson went to get wood and built layers of shelves in the living room.
All the dried meat and other food were neatly stacked on it.
Then he made a few luminous stone lamps, with thick animal skins hanging on them. At night, the animal skins were covered, which was equivalent to turning off the lights.
Time flies!
Two months passed in a blink of an eye.
Everyone has given up waiting for rescue, and the system has no signs of ending the task.
The five people live very comfortably here.
Every once in a while, they go outside the valley to hunt and collect salt and herbs.
The Eagle King also fully accepted them, but it was still a long way from being tamed...
However, these days, the Eagle King always flew to the west of the valley with a cry, as if looking for something...
And Chu Yang finally walked to the wooden house and took the seeds.
But the Eagle King still did not agree to them moving to the wooden house.
In the past two months, Chu Yang upgraded and renovated the house again!
A brick wall was used to surround a yard, a gate was installed, and several rooms were added on both sides of the yard.
A latrine and a septic tank were also built outside the gate.
In this way, there is no need to run to the river to go to the toilet, and fertilizer can be stored for future farming.
The system only rewarded once, making tools such as planes, chisels, saws, and hammers.
But it is practical.
He and Jackson made some tables, chairs, benches, and wooden cabinets, as well as sliding windows and wooden doors.
Even a wooden barrel for bathing was made.
In addition, they also dug a canal to divert river water into the yard.
A large clay water tank was fired in the yard.
If the water overflows, it will flow into the fields behind along the ditch.
The land there has been reclaimed and it is planned to grow vegetables and crops.
This morning, the smoke from the cooking stove rose from the small yard, which looked so warm.
Chu Yang looked at the beautiful valley and smiled. Isn't this the beautiful scenery of Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Spring?
He couldn't help chanting:
"The land is flat and spacious, the houses are neat, there are fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry trees and bamboos. The roads are connected, and the chickens and dogs can be heard. People come and go to plant and work..."
Suddenly!
From the north beach, there was a faint dull sound and explosion!
It didn't sound like thunder!
Jackson immediately judged: "It should be the sound of artillery!"
Damn!
Someone fired at the island?
