Desert Island Survival Diary

Chapter 147 No.80 Six days, hit it off
When I woke up, it was already dark, and staying up late was really hurting my body. The headache was like being hit by a hammer.

He groped and got up, relying on a ray of light from the gap, came to the door, Xiao Hei and the little guy were sleeping, heard the sound of footsteps, Xiao Hei stood up vigilantly, but when he saw it was me, he stopped Crouched down again and began to sleep again.

The bottle at the door is still there, without any trace of moving. In fact, even if someone came just now, I might not wake up. I really slept too hard. I didn’t even have a dream in the middle. wake me up.Not to mention the noise the little trap makes.

Pushing open the door, the moonlight outside is not bad. Fortunately, I fed Lightning before going to bed. Otherwise, I may not be able to sleep peacefully. The moon is already in the sky, and the hot air has begun to dissipate. A burst of coolness brought over.

Opening the drink in my hand, sitting on the swing in the yard, I began to think about my future life.I don't know if they will come over tomorrow, but no matter if they can't, I will live on...

The sweetness of the drink and the cool breeze made me excited all of a sudden.Although I have a headache, I can't sleep at this time.So I went to the shed by moonlight, tried the two covers, and they both dried a lot faster than expected.

Anyway, I can't sleep. Now that the cover is done, the kiln can be fired once. If it succeeds, the problems of water leakage in the house and frequent replacement of leaves on the roof will be solved easily.

After returning to the tree house and adding some firewood inside, I hugged a large pile of branches and leaves placed in the corner of the house, and carried them to the edge of the kiln in the shed.He took a few more burning branches and lit the kiln.

The cover was put on after opening a lot of holes with your fingers. The cover is very heavy. I was always worried that it would break when I picked it up or put it down. There were no cracks. If it was just ordinary soil, it should have cracked long ago, but the soil of termite nests is softer and more delicate than that.Perhaps it is for this reason that the lid has not cracked.

After putting the cover in place, I always felt that it was not very stable. It was only later that I realized that I should dig out a circular pit slightly larger than the cover in the surrounding soil, and then put the cover on.The advantage of this is that the flame will not come out from the side.And the lid will be placed more stably.

After a lot of work, I finally finished the cover.But for me, this is just the beginning, because there are still several steps to be done.Even the furnace for firing tile embryos has not yet been set up, and the official start can only be started after the construction is completed.

Last time I went to the side of the hill to pull some stones back to build a tree house, and now there are some extra, which can be used to build a stove.If you just stack it, the speed is quite fast.The whole process takes no more than an hour.Because now I'm done.

The next step will be more troublesome, and soil needs to be mixed. The bottom of the pit dug last time still has the soil of termite nests, but because there is no water added for a few days, the bottom of the pit has dried up, but it doesn’t matter. After smashing together for a while, the dry soil was turned up.After adding a few pots of water and stepping on it, the soil is ready to use.

They are used to paste on the stones that are built into the furnace, and the inside and outside are covered with this kind of soil, leaving no gaps.Of course, no gaps can be left. The key to success lies in the furnace. If the furnace is damaged, the temperature will not increase, and the tiles and various clay pottery inside will fail to fire.

After smearing back and forth several times, finally no gaps can be seen anymore.This stove does not need to be exposed to the sun, it only needs to be heated up, and the stove above will dry automatically.

Slowly stuffing the branches in one by one, the fire began to grow stronger and stronger.But extreme joy begets sorrow, and there are too many branches all of a sudden.The air circulation inside was affected, the combustion began to become insufficient, and the flame and temperature immediately began to weaken.Fortunately, the tile embryos are not being fired at this time, otherwise the temperature change will completely affect the firing effect.

I got a relatively long branch, pulled out some of the branches that had piled up in the earthen stove, and then used the branch to pick up the remaining branches.The flame that had been suppressed and was about to go out shot up again.This little episode also reminded me that I should not rush to add too much firewood to the clay stove, otherwise the fire would weaken or even go out.Only when Baozheng branches are continuously added to the earth stove at a gentle speed, the fire will burn more and more vigorously!

The stove was much more perfect than it had been originally imagined. The flames shot out from under the perforated lid on the ground and rushed to the top of the stove!The whole stove sizzled under the flames.This is the sound of water being evaporated.

It was so hot in the pit, and the clothes had been thrown aside a long time ago, because the smoke was relatively heavy, and the mosquitoes couldn't avoid it, which saved some troubles.But sweat has already flowed all over the body, even the hair has been soaked, and even dripping water.

But I am still insisting that as long as it is fired for another hour or so, the stove should be ready for firing.I could see that the inside walls of the furnace had been reddened by the flames that had spewed from the holes in the lid.Even if you are half a meter away from the stove, you can feel the scorching air emanating from it.

Maybe it was sweating too much, even if I stopped and drank two bottles of water, it didn't help, my mouth felt dry all the time.But the stomach was full of water.This is also a contradictory experience, the mouth is directing me to replenish water as soon as possible, but the stomach is always protesting that I continue to drink water...

It has been more than an hour, and the entire stove has dried up, including the outside of the stove.Because no more branches were added, the temperature in the earthen stove began to drop significantly, of course, because the previous temperature was too high.

Sitting on the side resting, I was annoyed by the swarming bugs, and I also felt tired after a while of busy work.That's all for today, it's late at night, and it may be dawn in a few hours.The biological clock has to be adjusted as soon as possible, and it is very likely that they will come back tomorrow.

Thinking of this, I returned to the tree house after taking a look at the earthen stove that was still burning. Xiao Hei and the others had already fallen asleep, and I, who was exhausted, fell asleep not long after I lay down.
