Chapter 236: Punching a Hole
Meng Hai and others in the wild now have food and drink. When they lack food, they go to the military camp to steal it. At first, they brought back some novel coins, but in the wild, they have no place to spend money, so they no longer
Bring back the novel coins.
The villagers who are trying to survive in the wild come here to take refuge because they are afraid of the Free Army. The wild space is large, and although the living conditions are difficult, they can protect their personal safety.
The military camp forcibly plundered people's food. They captured a lot of items. Ye Duhong and others took some food from the military camp, but it was nothing. The Free Army barbarically took people's things, and Ye Duhong and others were forced to go to the military camp.
Taking things seems to be called treating others in their own way, or fighting fire with fire. When Meng Hai and others took things from the military camp, they first did not need to
He was worried about not having enough to eat. It was at this time that Ye Duhong realized the convenience that magic brought to him. Without magic, they might have died of starvation. Therefore, Ye Duhong was very grateful to the students he had studied in.
Schools, such as the Tianshang School, are also grateful to those who taught them magical skills, such as the shadow in the dream on the uninhabited island. Ye Duhong is sincerely grateful to those who have helped him.
The holes dug by cows and donkeys on the ground were not only wet, but also often crawled with insects. This made Ye Duhong dislike it very much. Ye Duhong decided that he would find a suitable place in the wild and carefully dig a few clean holes.
Holes can be used to store food and sleep. If they live here, the Free Army cannot invade them. Think about it, how could the Free Army think of someone digging a hole in the ground to live?
Niu Donkey knew that Ye Duhong no longer wanted to use the hole he dug, so he asked, "I worked so hard to dig two holes in the ground. Why don't you like it? Why don't you use my hole?"
Ye Duhong said, the hole you dug is okay and can store things, but it is really humid and has many bugs, making it unsuitable for living. I need to find a good place. Dig a few holes in it and dig a tunnel underground.
We sleep and cook underground, so the Free Army cannot find us.
Niu Donkey said, "Your idea is good. What do you think of the two holes I dug? Do they need to be filled in?"
Ye Duhong said, why fill it in? After finally digging it, we used it as a latrine. Even if it is a latrine, it still needs to be repaired. Tomorrow I will ask Meng Hai to repair the two holes, which can be used as our latrine.
.
The cow and the donkey said, "What, my two holes are going to be used as huts? How can this be done?"
Ye Duhong said, what's wrong with this? You can't abandon those two holes.
Meng Hai and Ye Duhong began to look for a suitable place to dig a hole in the wild. The cattle and donkeys also took all the agricultural tools from his house, such as shovels, shovels, axes, etc. Ye Duhong and Meng Hai were there
After looking around in the wild, I finally selected
They dug a small mound, which looked gentle and curvaceous. They decided to dig a hole at a suitable location. In the end, they chose a small piece of land on the south side, and Ye Duhong marked this area.
A circle, start digging from this circle.
Ye Duhong first shoveled away the grass with a shovel, and then dug out a few shovels. A small pit appeared in the grass. Ye Duhong continued to dig the soil hard, picking out the soil with shovels. After a while, the grass became
A big hole appeared.
Meng Hai and the ox and donkey stopped standing. They took tools and dug in the hole. They dug a hole horizontally on the slope, and then dug a hole vertically downward. At the bottom of the hole, they dug horizontally again.
They dug a hole forward. Their speed was pretty good, and they dug a very deep hole in one morning.
Inside the cave, Ye Duhong said, we are already underground. There is no light now and we can't see anything. Let's not dig deeper yet. Let's sit down and take a rest.
Meng Hai said, OK, let's sit down and make plans.
Niu Donkey said, yes, we have dug here now, and it is very deep, which is enough for us to hide. Now, we need to make some simple steps, which will be more convenient for us to get out of the hole or enter the hole from the outside.
Meng Hai said, you are right. Let's rest for a few more minutes and then start making steps. We don't have to be too careful, as long as we can get in and out of the cave smoothly.
Niu Donkey said, now that we are familiar with this dark environment, let us quickly make some steps in the dark and go all the way outside.
They began to make the steps, and the three of them could only hear the sound of tools rubbing against the soil. With their efforts, the steps were gradually completed, and they started from the deepest hole all the way to the outside.
Xianghua'er noticed that Meng Hai came out first, so she asked Meng Hai how the hole was going.
Meng Hai replied, yes, we dug a deep hole, and we made a series of steps. We can go down on the steps from the outside, or we can go up on the steps from below. The steps are a bit rough, but
You can make do with it.
Xianghua'er said, "It's true that you are here. We can live underground now. Those Free Army soldiers would never think that we could live underground. They would not discover us, let alone intrude on us."
The ox and donkey also jumped out and said, "Grass, we are done."
Ye Duhong also came out and said, yes, we have completed the task of drilling holes. I am sweating now. It is so hot. We worked really hard.
Niu Donkey said, I just have one regret.
Meng Hai asked, what regret?
Niu Donkey said, whether we are going from the outside to the inside or from the inside to the outside, the whole process is dark. We can't see the road and just walk in the dark. This will depress our hearts and make it impossible for us to cook inside.
, cannot read a book inside.
Ye Duhong thought for a while and said, you are right, we have to find a way to get some lighting equipment.
Niu Donkey said, "It's easy. There are many fireflies in the wild. Let's catch some fireflies and we can see something inside."
Meng Hai said, fart, I hate bugs the most, never let any bugs enter the hole.
Niu Donkey said to Meng Hai, "What do you think we should do? We can't walk in the dark. One day is fine, two days are fine, but we can't walk in the dark every day."
Meng Hai said that there is no way, we have to think slowly, it will take time, let's use torches to enter our cave for the time being, and live in the cave now, and then we will do it according to our method when we come up with a way later.
Niu Donkey said, you didn't say anything.
Ye Duhong held up a torch and entered the cave. They reached the deepest cave. There were four non-adjacent caves in this cave, which were where they slept. The soil in these four caves was very clean, and they
The soil was made solid, and some herbs were found to surround the hole. This herb is to repel insects, and the insects from outside dare not come in, because this herb has a very powerful insect repelling effect.
This place was chosen by Ye Duhong and Meng Hai after wandering around for a long time. It is an excellent place. Not only is it not humid, there are no insects. In addition, they made the soil solid and surrounded it with soft herbs.
With four holes, it is truly a perfect bed.
Niu Donkey said, our four holes are very small, like a miniature cave dwelling. The place we live in is warm in winter and cool in summer, which is very good. But I think it is very funny for us to live here. I know
When someone dies and cannot afford a coffin, the family will put him in a hole like this and seal the hole with bricks. We live in this hole now, and it feels like we are dead, but no one has sealed it for us.
brick.
Meng Hai said, what are you talking nonsense? This is where we live. It should be said to be our dormitory. Although it looks like a tomb, there are dead people lying in the tomb, and we are living people.
Ye Duhong said, yes, now the Free Army is causing chaos everywhere, we are really lucky to have such a place to sleep, and I think the holes we sleep in are better than ordinary beds.
Niu Donkey said, so, we already live here and use this place as a bed. Then I think tomorrow, I will take care of our place. I have learned to be a carpenter before and can plan wood. I also worked as a painter.
, you can paint the wood. Tomorrow, I will make a few boards, paint them, and make a couch for each of us. We also need gauze curtains on the outside of our couches, so that it looks romantic.
