From wilderness to palace

Chapter 119
Entering the red leaf forest in late autumn, the maple trees that were originally lush with leaves also began to drop maple leaves.The colorful maple leaves instantly put red makeup on the red leaf forest.The scenery of the maple forest at this moment is undoubtedly the moment when the curtain is about to end.

For Liu Yaozu, who built the wooden house, the wooden house by the lake was finally decorated to the same extent during this period of time.There are all kinds of living equipment inside, even relying on mules and horses to help transport things, and he also bought some household appliances.

As the temperature in the mountains began to cool down and the leaves on the maple trees were about to fall off, Liu Yaozu immediately ended his trip to receive tourists.Even in Liu Yaocheng's view, every time he receives these tourists, he actually has a good income.

But how did he know that Liu Yaozu didn't care about the small board and lodging fees charged to tourists!
It was rare for Liu Yaozu to be free, and once again entered the mountain alone, he also began to enjoy his solitary life.Relying on his increasingly superb archery skills, he still dried and smoked a lot of wild game before the snow fell.

Looking at the dozens of wild boar bacon that has been smoked, Liu Yaozu was also very satisfied and said: "There are so many wild boar bacon, I guess it will be enough for me to eat for a long time. When I go back this time, I will send some to those guys to taste." Taste it!"

After returning from the imperial capital, he kept in touch with those friends.Liu Yaozu would think of these friends whenever he got something good in the mountains, and would send some so-called 'souvenirs' to them every now and then.

Although the things may not seem very valuable, there are some things that even friends with money may not be able to buy.Relying on this unbroken relationship, Liu Yaozu still maintains close and friendly relations with the company's senior executives.

After finally calming down, Liu Yaozu also began to think about continuing to build a new shelter in the mountains.Thinking of the Diwozi mentioned by Liu Shouyi earlier, he thought that maybe he could try to build one this time.

"It's late autumn now, and there shouldn't be much time left before the first snow falls in the mountains. If you go into the mountains later, you have to observe the weather in advance. If you build a nest in the deep mountains, you can do it if you have the opportunity. Can stay for two nights."

Because of the reception of tourists, the video updates of Liu Yaozu building a shelter outdoors are naturally not as many as before.Some of the recently released videos are more about decorating wooden houses.And this wooden house is also called a lake view villa by netizens.

Looking at the video alone, many people find it hard to believe that such a well-decorated wooden house was actually built in the hinterland of a mountain dozens of miles away from the populated area.In other words, apart from Liu Yaozu, no one else would have the chance to live there.

Liu Yaozu, who decided to go into the mountains and build a shelter on this trip, quickly picked up his luggage and continued to advance deep into the mountains.According to Liu Shouyi's previous guidance, the place where he built the diwozi this time was also the hunting ground where Liu Shouyi and other hunters hunted in the early years.

Although during this time, he has hunted and killed unprotected animals in the mountains.But in Liu Yaozu's view, he really didn't kill a few of the really large prey.He only hunted and killed three wild animals like wild boars.

In the hunting ground by the lake, although I have seen wild boars weighing three to four hundred catties.But these boars appear in groups.Even though Liu Yaozu is very proficient in archery now, he still dare not easily provoke such a herd of boars.

What really surprised Liu Yaozu was that with the arrival of batches of tourists, the pack of wild wolves he had seen before was never seen again.Presumably, the wolves knew that there were more people gathering by the lake, and chose to avoid this location on purpose.

Arriving at the mountain nearly ten miles away from Hongye Lake, looking at the plain and valley under his feet, Liu Yaozu also carefully searched for a suitable place to build a nest.Unlike building a wooden house, building a nest also requires selecting a suitable terrain.

Liu Yaozu started searching along the hillside, and soon he found an abandoned underground nest.Because no one has repaired it for many years, and the supports of the diwozi have rotted away, this kind of abandoned diwozi is not even worth repairing.

"It's a pity! This nest is actually the same as the old house, and it often needs to be popular. If no one takes care of it, the wood inside will decay faster over time, and it will eventually become what it is now. "

After a moment of emotion, Liu Yaozu finally found a slope suitable for building a nest not far from the abandoned nest.There happen to be two big trees next to it, which are undoubtedly the best shelter and reference objects.

"Let's go here! It's not too early. First dig out the internal structure, then build the frame, and finally return to the soil and fill it. If you try to dig out the frame today and build a shelter tomorrow, it may be easier."

When choosing to build a diwozi here, Liu Yaozu also outlined the specific area and shape of the diwozi in his mind.Using the engineering shovel and big shovel he carried, Liu Yaozu dug directly, digging out the slope soil continuously.

After excavating a convex-shaped pit, he took out a ruler to measure the area. Liu Yaozu was slightly satisfied and said: "If you want to live more comfortably, you should dig a larger area. Although the area is not as good as a room, it can be used as a nest It's big enough."

After confirming that the internal area is sufficient for use and life, Liu Yaozu began to speed up the excavation.Except for the entrance, which was left aside for the time being, the zigzag position at the back also began to dig down along the edge.

Liu Yaozu who turned into an excavator, although he felt that the job of digging a hole was not easy, he still worked very hard.For him, a lot of wooden shelters have been built, and this kind of ground nest that is also supported by wood is the first attempt.

New things always bring freshness to people.At least Liu Yaozu believes that after this video update is uploaded, netizens who like to watch his videos of building shelters will also feel happy and feel that he has finally returned to his old business!
Liu Yaozu began to dig down vertically following the outline he had made.The excavated soil is piled directly near the edge of the pit.Different from the nest built by Orion in the early years, the nest he plans to build is obviously much larger.

When digging before, Liu Yaozu was worried that he would touch hard rocks or other hard soil layers when digging below, but now it seems that the soil layer is relatively easy to dig.Not long after, he dug down along the edge, and he had already dug down more than one meter deep.

Seeing that the soil below had become very hard, Liu Yaozu, who was standing in the pit, looked at it and said: "This height should be about the same. If you really dig too deep, the warmth preservation effect in winter will be greatly reduced. In addition to the height of the shed, there should be It’s two meters high.”

After a brief gesture, he felt that the height of the nest should be enough, so Liu Yaozu stopped excavating and began to repair the edge of the nest.And at the corners of the edge, several holes for piling were dug with an engineering shovel.

After completing these tasks, Liu Yaozu put down the shovel and went to the nearby jungle to start looking for materials suitable for supporting columns.Fortunately, there are many such miscellaneous trees in the mountains. After cutting a few, they dragged them back to the place where they built the nest.

Knowing that time was tight, Liu Yaozu simply set up a stove near the camp, cooked a bowl of noodles for himself, and then started working again.The weather is very cold at night, and I can still feel a bit of coolness when I sleep in a tent.

The felled supporting columns were all buried in the pit excavated in advance, and Liu Yaozu used straight logs of uniform size and neatly stacked a row of wooden walls along the edge of the trimmed tunnel to make it look more comfortable .

Although it doesn't matter if it is not a wooden wall, Liu Yaozu thinks that the mud wall may stain the clothes in wet or dry weather.It is more comfortable to stay inside by sticking to the wooden wall of the pit wall.

It's just that on the right hand side not far from the exit, Liu Yaozu deliberately left a gap, where he planned to dig a vent for the floor stove.Although the stove has not been dug yet, it will save you to rework later if it is vacated in advance.

Looking at the nests neatly stacked with wooden strips, Liu Yaozu was also very satisfied and said, "Now we can build a roof!"

Considering that most of the diwozi have good concealment, Liu Yaozu also directly built a 'herringbone' roof.The wooden strips stacked on both sides of the roof are also extended deliberately to facilitate the drainage of water to the edge of the nest.

In order to avoid rain in the future, rainwater may seep into the nest, and after the roof is sealed with soil, drainage ditches need to be dug on the edge of the nest.Only in this way, when it rains in the future, the rainwater will flow down the mountain along the ditch.

After the roof frame is set up, all that is left to do is to cut the straight logs and saw them to the same length.Then put these sawn straight logs neatly on both sides of the roof frame.The roof built in this way will undoubtedly be very strong.

After the roof was neatly stacked, Liu Yaozu took out the tarpaulin prepared in advance from his backpack, folded it into double layers, and paved it on the herringbone-shaped wooden roof.Nail all corners tight, making sure the tarpaulin wraps the roof completely.

"Yes! It can be filled with soil, and then the rainwater drain and the stove will be dug, and then a wooden bed will be built, so we can rest here tonight."

The mud excavators previously dug out the gravel, and then piled the soil on top of the roof.After this winter, the roof now covered with soil will be covered with grass or shrubs in the coming year, completely hiding the burrow.

Seeing the earthen nest completely covered with soil, Liu Yaozu thought for a while and said, "I don't know if the earthen house I built is the same as the earthen house that Eighth Uncle and the others built before. But this kind of earthen house should be Be stronger and stronger!"

After taking a brief look at the ground nest he had built, Liu Yaozu began to drill into the ground nest again, digging the ground stove along the previously reserved position.On the remaining wall of the pit, a stove hole was dug in, and then a hole was dug into the ground outside.

Borrowing an engineer shovel, Liu Yaozu took out a hole in the ground, and continued to dig down for repairs.During the excavation process, Liu Yaozu also smiled and said, "If others are allowed to see what I'm doing right now in the air, maybe there will be a misunderstanding!"

Thinking of the popularity of 'Ghost Blowing the Lantern', many people who followed this novel wondered if the author came from a family of tomb robbers.For such a misunderstanding, Liu Yaozu couldn't laugh or cry.

But Liu Yaozu suddenly felt that the way he was digging the stove at the moment seemed very similar to the grave robbers digging holes with Luoyang shovels.It's just that the grave robber opened a smaller hole, and the smoke hole he dug is bigger!
