Travel through ancient times to escape from the wasteland with the time and space door with you

Chapter 24 Building a House

At that time, just use some grass mud, align the gaps in the stones, build two walls, and leave a door and window.

This way you can fence off the underside of that rock, which is much safer than building a shed or building an adobe house outside.

Judging by the number of Yue people who came this time, it doesn't look like they came to rob.It seems that they came to attack Qiyang County. It is very likely that they wanted to take advantage of Qiyang County's disaster and lack of food and grass to take it down and occupy it.

Qiyang County was occupied 40 years ago. Later, Liu Gan, a general who conquered the west, drove these Yue people back outside the pass.

But now, General Liu has already turned into a handful of loess, and the generals of the imperial court are increasingly without successors.

There are very few who can fight now.

The few remaining are all guarding the border, and it is impossible to come to support here.

And Qiyang County's military strength is only 3 people. If several tribes of the Yue people united and invaded on a large scale, it would be impossible to defend here.

So Fang Youwei felt that they would not stay here for a short time.

After all, it's safer in the mountains, and you have to rebuild the house when you return to the village, but it depends on whether the Yue people give you time to rebuild.

Maybe they were arrested by the Yue people who came to search for them as soon as they went back. Now the village that has just been soaked in water must be in a mess, and there is no way to resist.

……

Mrs. Yang frowned and sighed while packing her things.

Fang Zhiyuan approached grandma and asked, "Grandma, what's the matter with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

The old lady shook her head, touched her grandson's little head, and said lovingly, "Grandma is fine, you don't have to worry."

She can't tell her grandson that she is worrying about her brother's family, what's the use of speaking out, they are all in danger now.

My brother's family is in the town, and I don't know if I can escape this catastrophe.

Those Yue people who called must go to the towns and counties, where the population is densely populated and the business is prosperous, and they will definitely go there to rob and then occupy the county.

I hope that my brother can be vigilant and run out of the town first when he sees something wrong, so that there may be a chance of life.

Mrs. Yang is still thinking wildly and worrying here, but Fang Youwei has already figured out how to build a house under the rock.

He came back and said to everyone: "We estimate that we will live here for a while, but I didn't find a cave nearby, but I found a protruding rock.

The stone wall below it is triangular. We only need to build two walls with stones underneath, and the half gap on the side of the remaining stone wall is just a door. "

Several people became interested as soon as they heard it, and Mrs. Li asked, "How big is it under the rock? Is it enough for us to live in?"

Fang Youwei replied: "It's about fifteen feet square, you can make a big kang inside, and you can sleep there."

When Jiayin heard the new term, she asked curiously, "What is a big kang?"

Mrs. Yang held her in her arms and explained to her: "The big kang is a bed made of adobe bricks. There is a flue at the bottom and a kang board on the top. Once the fire is fired, the whole kang will be hot and the house will be warm." Yes, sleeping on it in winter is the most comfortable..."

Seeing Jiayin half-understood, Li smiled and said: "When we are on the kang, you will know by watching."

From the second day onwards, except for Fang Youwei who went out of the mountain in the morning to check out the traps and bring back the prey, they were busy taking off the adobe and picking up stones.

Fang Youwei and Mrs. Li took off the adobe, and Mrs. Yang took Fang Zhiyuan and Jiayin to pick up stones. They just picked out stones of about the same size and put them aside.

Later, Youwei will use the cart to pull it to the rocky cliff.

I have been busy for more than ten days before I can get the things I need.

Fortunately, these days are sunny, and the adobe and kang slabs have dried.

Fang Youwei dug the foundation along the aligned places under the rocks, and the dug out soil was just right for laying stones with grass mud.

Because it took only two days to dig the foundation alone.

After digging, put these irregular stones together with grass mud according to the size and shape to form a flat wall.

Jiayin looked at it in amazement, "Uncle, you are so powerful, you can't see it from the outside at all. Those stones have all shapes. They are so smooth!"

Fang Youwei was very pleased with the little eyes adored by Jiayin, and the speed of building the wall became faster.

At the same time, he said to Jiayin: "People in our village have to build their own houses. If there are a lot of people in the family, they don't need to ask for help. A few houses can be built in a few days..."
