After landing on the island, the refugees were divided into two groups by gender by Liji, Shino and others. They were then taken to the camp to wash up and change clothes separately.
The men in the camp fetched water from the river in the northeast. Because the weather was too cold, they had to wait for it to heat up.
After washing, people can receive new clothes and shoes and socks. After changing clothes, they go to drink porridge, and then they are led to set up tents.
During Zhao Xin's absence, Li Ji led dozens of people to build a camp according to Zhao Xin's instructions. However, because there were too few people, he was so busy these days that he didn't even finish the flood wall on one side.
According to the design of Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng, these flood control walls need to be filled with earth and rock and compacted, and then connected with iron pipes and wires. After that, wooden stakes can be inserted into the ground on both sides of the inner and outer walls of the camp and tightly attached.
Wall; after the wooden piles of the outer wall are completed, barbed wire will be laid under the wall.
Zhao Xin thought about it carefully, and for safety reasons, he decided to build the flood control wall into two floors. Because the flood control wall he purchased before was 1.37*1.06, after all the empty iron baskets were stacked, it looked a bit short.
.
If a tiger or a wild boar makes a leap, it will be impossible to stop it.
The most important thing right now is cutting down trees. At the very least, we need to make a circle around the camp. There are many trees on the east and west sides of the camp, making it easy to cut down and move around.
If we rely on manual labor to excavate and fill these flood control wall boxes, we don’t know that it will take until the year of the monkey; and winter has come, the ground is very frozen, and it is too slow for these refugees to dig and transport it alone.
If he really can't find anyone, Zhao Xin can only drive the excavator by himself. He and Liu Sheng are both a little anxious. If the camp is not built well, the safety of the refugees will not be guaranteed.
.If a group of wild beasts came in while you were sleeping, it would be a big headache just thinking about it.
Because the weather was very cold, Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng began to set up heating stoves and chimneys in the tents of the refugees the day after they returned. Some refugees who had worked as carpenters and masons followed them to learn how to operate them.
After Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng were busy until the evening and clumsily finished a few stoves, these refugees who followed the example could already try to make their own.
The next day, Zhao Xin took Liu Sheng, each with a chainsaw, and asked Li Ji and others to get axes and saws to prepare for felling wood.
Neither Zhao Xin nor Liu Sheng are familiar with logging, and this work is too dangerous for them. First, it is easy to hurt yourself if you are not careful when using the chain saw, and second, you are hit by a tree.
So Zhao Xin decided to adopt a cooperative approach based on the videos he had seen in his memory. He first went to the material storage point, removed a few wooden boards from the outer packaging boxes, and then asked a refugee who knew carpentry to flatten one end of the wooden boards with an axe.
In this way, a few simple wooden wedges are ready.
Then he selected a tree and asked the refugees to use an ax to make a gap on one side. Then Zhao Xin used a chain saw to make a gap on the other side. After the gap was opened, he smashed the wooden wedge into the gap. If one piece was not enough,
I smashed another piece and fiddled with it for a long time. As the gap gradually widened, someone finally shouted, "The tree is going to fall."
Zhao Xin, Liu Sheng and several helping refugees quickly dispersed, especially no one could stand on one side of the gap.
Finally, the big tree fell down suddenly, and everyone cheered happily.
Once you have the first log, the rest is easy to handle. First cut off a section and let the carpenter chop out a few large wooden wedges.
However, the chain saw was really difficult to use and too heavy for a weak refugee to hold it alone. Zhao Xin had no choice. No one sold the big saw he used to see two carpenters using when he was a child.
The largest hand saw I bought was only 16 inches.
After struggling all day, until it was almost dark, I only cut down seven or eight trees. They were not big trees, just thigh-wide.
The felled trees, their branches, vines and tree tips can be used as firewood for burning stoves. The trunks are cut into lengths of two and a half meters with a saw and placed outside the camp. When the quantity is almost saved, they can be inserted into the camp.
side of the exterior wall.
On the third day after returning, Zhao Xin stopped caring. He saw that the refugees were working happily even with hand saws and axes. It was right when he thought about it. How could there be such sharp and easy-to-use steel mouths nowadays?
Thinking that the yacht was about to run out of gas, he and Liu Sheng secretly ran back to Hyundai at noon. First, they went to the car rental company next to the airport and rented a Volkswagen Caravelle station wagon. It is said that this car is one of the
The largest, nine seats.
Next, I drove to Chinatown, which has the largest number of Chinese people in the city. After asking around for a long time, I finally found a place selling 200-liter oil drums.
After arriving at the place selling oil barrels, the two began to fiddle around. First, they folded all the seats of the station wagon flat, and found that there was only room for three oil barrels at most. Well, they bought three first; then they drove to a gas station to buy diesel, and put the
The empty barrels were moved out of the car, and then filled back into the car. Finally, they had to drive to a secluded place for Zhao Xin to put the oil barrels away.
After finishing all this, go back to buy oil barrels and repeat the above actions over and over again without always going to the same gas station.
You must know that the fuel tank of the yacht has a capacity of 10,000 liters.
The two of them wandered around for a day, and it was already the afternoon of the next day when they returned to the camp, and they had to get on the boat to refuel.
It is said that in the process of buying oil barrels, Zhao Xin discovered that there was a gun shop outside Chinatown. He just took a quick look through the glass and left quickly. What kind of guns were there? Anyway, Zhao Xin
Without seeing anything else clearly, I saw a Gatling on the counter!!
They are worthy of being a fighting nation, they are really fierce!
The reason for this trouble is that Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng need to rush back to the island country quickly, and then return to the country to attend the gathering of Liu Sheng's comrades on New Year's Day. Unless the bay freezes, there is no need to go anywhere.
Zhao Xin decided that he must apply for a multiple-entry visa to Russia after returning this time. Just running back and forth like this made him exhausted.
But no matter how tired you are, you still have to hold on, because before leaving, you need to summon relevant people for a meeting and give instructions.
Zhao Xin took out all the remaining three handicraft samurai swords and three wakizashi and gave them to Katsu Kaishu for safekeeping; some of the clothes and tools had been distributed, and the rest were kept for now; all the food was handed over to Rikichi and his wife, Manzo and his wife.
Responsible.
After the meeting was over, A Miao, who heard from Zhinao that Zhao Xin was leaving tomorrow, sat in the corner of the tent feeling sad with red and swollen eyes.
Nine-year-old A Miao has never had a full meal since she was sensible.
In her vague memory, before her father ran away from home, she drank and complained all day long; while her mother swallowed her anger and never argued with her father; only her grandma sometimes scolded her father.
When she was five years old and she had a younger brother, the family's life became even more difficult. Not long after, her father left home and never came back until the village suffered a disaster.
Little A Miao never knew what rice tasted like before she met Sheng Haizhou and the others. Her mother used the little rice she secretly saved to make rice soup for her younger brother, and she, her grandmother, and her mother all ate rice bran and taro every day.
and radishes, and sometimes tares.
When the village was hit by a disaster, her mother and her younger brother had no time to run out of the house and were buried in the mudslide. If her grandmother hadn't pulled her, little A Miao would have rushed up to dig out her mother and younger brother in tears.
After her grandma hanged herself, little Amiao suddenly felt that the whole world had gone dark. She was dragged by the villagers in the same village to flee the famine. She suffered from hunger and wind and rain along the way and arrived at Matsushima Town, where she met Sheng.
Haizhou and the others.
When she first got on the boat, A Miao shivered when she saw the tall Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng approaching. Because she had never seen such tall people. When she got off the boat and came to the camp to collect clothes, she ate a few
After having a full meal, I gradually felt at ease.
At the same time, the refugees who came with Zhao Xin before all praised Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng in their conversations with the new refugees, especially respecting Zhao Xin like a Bodhisattva. From the mouths of these people, A Miao also felt that this
The owner is a good person.
When the little girl was feeling sad, Zhao Xin walked in carrying a cage with a tabby cat in it.
"A Miao. I'll leave Duofu to you to take care of me these days when I'm not here." Zhao Xin said as he put the cage on the ground.
A Miao wiped the corners of her eyes and turned to look. Zhao Xin had already opened the cage door, and Lord Duofu walked out fearfully.
"Ah~ it's so fat."
Duofu was happily hugged by A Miao and looked at Zhao Xin with a depressed look.
That expression seemed to say, you abandoned me again...
Well, for Zhao Xin, it’s all hallucinations and clouds~~
The cat food and cat litter were placed at Shino's place, and Zhao Xin endured his fatigue. He explained how to feed the cat, and how to keep it in a cage to prevent it from running around.
Before going to bed at night, Liu Sheng asked Zhao Xindao boredly while lying on the bed: "Have you fallen in love with the little Lolita again? There is Gu Xi over there in China."
Zhao Xin was wiping his face with a towel and said casually: "What? Who are you talking about?"
"A Miao."
"What a joke! She is still a child." Zhao Xin threw the towel at Liu Sheng.
Liu Sheng didn't get up. He stretched out one hand and grabbed the wet towel.
"What a beast, you think about it every time you think about it." Zhao Xin scolded with a smile, and then said lightly: "Cute and capable, who doesn't like it? But this child A Miao, ever since Sheng Haizhou told me about her
After the encounter, it reminded me of a person."
Liu Sheng asked: "Who do you think of?"
"Axin. Ashin in his childhood."
Liu Sheng listened and remained silent.
On the day the two set out, a thin layer of ice had already formed on the sea surface in the bay.
Amid the shouts of farewell from the crowd on the shore, the yacht sailed away from the bay, and Zhao Xin stood in the cabin and saw little A Miao still waving her hands vigorously.
The two of them did not dare to delay at all this time. One day later, they got off the boat at the seaside of Hokkaido. After another hard work, Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng returned to the current Hokkaido.
When Zhao Xin turned on his phone, countless messages popped out. There were messages from his family, friends, and Gu Xi. There were also several messages from banks and auction companies.
Zhao Xin looked through them one by one. At home, his parents were thinking about him; from his friends, he asked why he lost contact; from Gu Xi, he asked when he would be back; from the bank, he asked about the arrival of his account...
Zhao Xin didn't even need to look at the auction company's information to know that the lot he had entrusted before leaving had already been sold.
