I was the best old lady in ancient times

Chapter 596 Building a House

According to Ning Laosi's wishes, let Ning Cheng'er and Ning Mian'er go to bed and rest, and he led people to guard the deck.

However, Ning Cheng'er shook his head at what he said, and Ning Mian'er disagreed.

"Fourth Uncle, today you are very tired digging the stone ladder together with others.

On the contrary, we didn't make much effort.

Even if there is a night watch, it should be us.

Moreover, if you keep vigil tonight, you will have no energy to do things during the day tomorrow. "

Today Ning Cheng'er ordered people to pick off the fruit from the tree and put it in the cabin.

In addition, after the water source was discovered, the fruits on those trees were not picked, and people all took containers that could hold water to fill them.

It's just that she didn't follow, and stayed on the boat to watch.

Ning Mian'er was similar. Although he walked a lot, he really didn't make much effort.

Therefore, it is most appropriate for the two of them to come to watch the night.

Fourth Ning heard the words of his two nieces and found that they were getting better at speaking.

After thinking about it, if I stay up late, I may not be energetic during the day tomorrow.

"Okay, you two don't watch the night together, take turns!"

Anyway, apart from the two nieces, there are other crew members on the night watch patrol.

Ning Laosi had a good night's sleep, and the blue crab color in the sky was about to appear, so he opened his eyes.

When he got to the deck, he happened to see his eldest niece Ning Chenger covering her mouth and yawning.

The second child, Ning Mian'er, was drooping her head, leaning on Ning Cheng'er's shoulder, sound asleep.

"Fourth uncle."

Ning Cheng'er saw Ning Lao Si coming out and wanted to stand up, but Ning Lao Si waved his hand to stop him.

"You and Mian'er rest first!"

Fourth Ning spoke to Ning Cheng'er with a soft voice.

Ning Cheng'er turned her head to look at Zhengxiang's second sister who was sleeping next to her, then nodded with her lips pursed, but didn't wake Ning Mian'er up, and went into the cabin to rest together.

Ning Mian'er woke up after waiting for breakfast to be prepared in the kitchen and smelling the aroma of the food.

"Sister, why didn't you wake me up?"

Ning Mian'er sat up straight, stretched her waist, and saw Ning Cheng'er rubbing her shoulders, she opened her mouth and said in embarrassment.

"It's nothing, it's not so bad.

After waking up, go to freshen up. After breakfast, there are still many things to do! "

Ning Cheng'er stood up, pulled Ning Mian'er up as well and said.

"Sister, you can go to rest later, I'll stay on the boat and watch!"

Ning Mian'er thought about it and said to Ning Cheng'er.

Fourth Uncle should still be digging the stone ladder today, and she can't help much.

It's better to stay on the boat and let the eldest sister sleep for a while!
Ning Cheng'er thought for a while, then nodded.

"Okay, after dinner, I'll go to bed for a while.

If we don't leave tonight, we probably have to keep watch tonight. "

Hearing this, Ning Mian'er couldn't help making a bitter face.

Sure enough, after dinner, Fourth Ning led the crew to continue digging stone ladders by the water pool.

When he left, Ning Cheng'er had already gone to bed.

Hearing Ning Mian'er's words, he nodded and told her to stay on the boat and not get off the boat.

Almost all the crew on board, except the cook, disembarked.

When a group of people arrived at the pool, they saw a deer-like animal in the trap dug last night, but the horns on its head were very large.

There are also two rabbits, and a pheasant.

The two rabbits and the pheasant were pierced through their bodies, and they were completely dead because of the sharpened branches that had been chopped off with a machete and inserted upside down in the trap.

Only this deer-like animal, although its legs, feet and body were pierced, was not completely dead.

This animal should have come to the pool to drink water early this morning, and it just fell down.

"Fourth Master."

The big guy looked at the prey in the trap in surprise, his face full of excitement.

"Find two people to get it up, tidy it up, and send it to the ship.

It's noon, let's have a full meal. "

Fourth Ning saw that the big guy was so happy, he waved his hand and said directly.

Hearing Ning Laosi's words, the big guys immediately cheered.

In fact, this deer-like animal is estimated to have at most dozens of catties of meat after the internal organs have been removed.

Not to mention the two rabbits and pheasants, if you want to eat all the big guys, you don't have to think about it.

However, it must be much better than yesterday's one pheasant, a small bowl of pheasant soup per person.

At least, everyone can eat a few bites of meat.

Just for these few bites of meat, the big guys have put in a lot of effort to chisel the stone ladder today.

There were more people than yesterday, and soon, the stone ladder was cut to a flat place above the waterfall.

Follow the direction of the water flowing down the waterfall, all the way up and up.

Soon we arrived at the source of the water. The terrain here was flat. It was a very large lake surrounded by trees.

Judging by the size of the lake, it doesn't look like it was formed by rainwater.

There should be fresh water below; otherwise, the water in the lake would keep flowing down. If it was stagnant, it would have dried up long ago!
Looking at the forest area surrounding the lake, I don't know how big it is.

However, this should be the highest point of this Huludao.

Fourth Ning looked around, if he wanted to build a supply point here.

I am afraid that many of these trees must be cut down, otherwise, there will be no vacant land to build houses.

"Fourth Master, you said you want to build a house here?"

Hearing what Ning Laosi said, the crew members who came up with them all widened their eyes.

"Yes, did you see this direction?
Cut down all the trees here and here, and then dig the roots for me.

There is no rush to build that kind of mud-and-tiled house now, and we don’t have many things on board.

Let's build a few wooden houses first, so that when we come back next time, it will be convenient for us to have a place to rest and replenish.

In addition, dig out the place on the top of the mountain here, grow some vegetables, raise some chickens and ducks and so on.

In the future, we can also eat some green leafy vegetables and fresh meat. "

It's okay not to talk about meat, but when it comes to meat, the big guy's saliva wants to flow down again.

And the green leafy vegetables, fresh meat and green leafy vegetables, are things that are difficult to keep on board.

It would be great if there were green leafy vegetables and chickens and ducks here, as fourth master said.

With this expectation, the big guys put a lot of effort into building the wooden house.

Moreover, according to fourth master's opinion, if we want to build a mud-and-tiled house in the future, the wood must be indispensable.

Therefore, the trees in the places pointed by Ning Lao Si were quickly cut down by the big guys!

As for digging the tree roots, it will take a while. There are so many tree roots, how can I dig them out.

I worked until noon, and my stomach was growling.

The two wooden houses have been built, but there are still many roots that have been cut down that have not been dug up!
Fourth Ning is already very satisfied with being able to do this!

Let people tidy up and pile up the wood neatly, and save it for the next time they come to build a house.

　Ask for a monthly pass, please!
