Chapter 122 It would be nice to have a carriage
Author: fortune meow
When the alpha wolf saw Yi Meng, he let out a wolf howl, and the pack of wolves immediately gathered towards him, and then walked towards the bucket that Yi Meng had put down.
At this time, Yimeng came to Quanquan Jin and whispered: "Brother Jin, Xiaobai should be able to make those horses obedient."
"Xiao Bai? That white snake?"
Quan Jin was surprised.
Yimeng nodded: "We were looking for water sources with the villagers before, and there were only animal footprints near the water source, but no animals. I guess it was Xiaobai's contribution. Now Xiaobai is in the space, otherwise, let
Come out and try it?"
"become!"
Quan Quanjin made the decision immediately.
It's best if it works, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't. Anyway, they are some distance away from everyone now, and with the bodies of myself and my wife being shielded, there should be no problem.
Xiaobai, who was sleeping with mosquito coils coiled up, felt a chill in his body and almost died from the snake's death.
"Xiao Bai, make the horses obey and drive us obediently."
Yi Meng's voice came from above.
Xiaobai was very unhappy and raised his triangular head and spat out a message to Yimeng.
I'm not a human, but you are a real dog!
Don't take the snake's life for granted!
Xiaobai complained, but Yimeng couldn't understand it at all. Seeing it like this, Yimeng thought Xiaobai couldn't do it, and immediately said: "You can't do it? Then I'd better ask Man Baoer to come over and try!"
Anyway, the wolves have gathered in another area now, so it shouldn't be dangerous if Man Baoer comes over.
When Xiaobai heard this, the snake's eyes almost turned into glass balls. He hurriedly spit out the snake letter, then turned around and spit out the snake letter frantically in the direction of the five wild horses.
Then, everyone saw that the five wild horses became docile at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He was no longer as anxious as before, even scratching his hooves when drinking water. Instead, he snorted obediently, and then walked obediently towards Yi Meng and Quan Jin.
Seeing that the task was completed, Xiaobai immediately wrapped his arms around Yi Meng's wrist.
This means: I have finished my work and I want to go back!
Yimeng did not rush to take Xiaobai into the space. Instead, she stepped forward and cautiously reached out to touch the horse's face.
As a result, the other party not only did not dodge, but also lowered his head, so that Fang Jianmeng did not feel tired.
"It's done!"
Yi Meng is overjoyed.
Quan Jin was also very happy. He stepped forward and touched the other horse's face.
The five horses suddenly changed from being in a confrontation with the wolves to looking like they had been domesticated for many years, which made everyone nearby look dumbfounded.
"My mother, your fourth son and his wife are really not ordinary capable people!"
Aunt Zhou touched Qi Cheng next to her with her arm: "It really made Ye Ma become a good boy."
Qi Cheng's mood was very complicated at this time.
There is some pride, but more of it is fear.
Especially after seeing the fourth child and his wife touching the wild horse's head and laughing like idiots, Qi Cheng's fear became a lot more angry.
Really, neither of them makes people worry!
In this way, the five wild horses became the draft animals for the group.
It's just that the carts they used before were all carts, not to mention horses, and even people were struggling to pull them.
Therefore, everyone decided on the spot to stay for a few more days and make five carriages!
The men were all quick-footed people. Although they had never learned any professional carpentry, they could not afford to have their whole family to guide them, so they saved the first pallet truck in the middle of the night.
It is almost twice as big as a trolley, and is surrounded by panels about half a meter high for shelter. When people sleep at night, as long as a shed is placed on top, it can be regarded as a temporary tent.
In the middle of the afternoon the next day, another car panel was made.
Seeing everyone working enthusiastically, Aunt Zhou couldn't help but sigh: "If there was a tarpaulin shed or something like this on the board of the car, I could put the children in it when I was on my way. It would definitely be much warmer than outside."
Mrs. Sun smiled and said angrily: "You have a lot on your mind. We still have oil paper sheds. We don't even have much oil paper now. Where can we build a shed?"
Qi Ercai, who was working with others to lift a big tree back, heard this and quickly looked at his mother: "Mom, I remember that when I went to the city before, I bought a lot of oil paper. Can that be done?"
Qi Cheng was stunned for a moment, obviously not thinking about this matter, and then thought about it carefully, and then called to Yi Meng: "Meng Niang, come here, where did you put the oil paper that your second brother bought in the city before?
Do you know?"
When it came to the oil paper, Yimeng also thought about it, and then her expression became slightly unnatural: "Remember, it's in my luggage at home! Mom, do you want oil paper? Then I'll dig it out right now."
Oil paper, I really remember it, it's just... stored in the space.
Every store has some oil paper in stock, but I used a lot of it when I was in the cave.
Qi Ercai went to the city and bought twenty feet. Later he used a few feet, and now he only has about fifteen feet left at home.
Three feet is one meter, and fifteen feet is five meters.
Five meters is definitely not enough to make a fully enclosed carriage.
However, there is no problem in making the roof and adding the two sides.
So Qi Sanlang and several younger children were responsible for picking branches from the big tree that the adults had chopped back.
Two or three finger-thick branches are needed, long enough to build the frame of the carriage.
After picking them out, use a knife to smooth out all the branches and rough areas on the surface.
Then the branches were wrapped with scraps of cloth picked out by the women at home, and then handed over to the women to fix them with needles and threads.
Oil paper is now also a valuable thing. People are afraid that it will be damaged easily if exposed directly to the outside, so they put pieces of cloth sewn from rags on top and bottom of the oil paper.
This is great, everyone has no rags left, and they are all used to save such a carriage.
The inside of the carriage is only about 1.2 meters wide and less than 2.2 meters long.
If this space is enlarged, it won't be able to accommodate a few people at all, but if a few children are placed in it, several can be accommodated.
And bedding from each household can also be spread inside.
Firstly, it can absorb shock, and secondly, it can make space for other carriages.
In a blink of an eye, everyone was busy here on the seventh day.
The car panels are easy to make, but the wheels take some time, which is why I have been busy for so long.
There is still no rain in the sky. The situation is the same every day, cloudless during the day and full of stars at night.
It's just that the temperature is lower.
A fire must be lit every day during the day, and firewood must be added to the fire from time to time at night, for fear that if the fire is a little small, it will wake people up from the cold.
In these seven days, the wolves came three more times.
Each time, he would bring his prey with him, and after drinking water, he would set up a formation nearby, and then go into the forest without even looking back.
Although everyone's food rations are no longer a problem,... the water is on the verge of being empty.
Yimeng secretly added a lot of this, otherwise they would have sang to Ganling.
"Daughter-in-law, we are leaving tomorrow, but this water..."
In the middle of the night, Qian Quanjin quietly woke up his wife-in-law and mentioned the water issue with a worried look on her face.
Chapter completed!
