Mountain driving career since 1982

Chapter 242 Killed in the meadow

A house made of pure wood is called a woodcut because the wood needs to be cut with a knife, ax and saw, and the house has edges and corners.

The reason why Lv Lu chose to build the woodcut is because the weather in Xing’an Mountains is extremely low in winter, often at minus [-] to [-] degrees Celsius. If the house is of brick and tile structure, it will encounter frost damage, rapid changes in temperature, and the soil layer will expand with heat and contract with cold. Frozen and bulging will cause the foundation to sink and the house to crack.

As for the woodcut lenght, it is made of individual pieces of wood, and the four-corner grooves are fixedly buckled, so it is quite strong and cannot be stretched.

In the past, the four corners of the house were built with stone plinths, but cement is not so difficult to get these days. Lu Lu chose to pave it with stones and pour it with cement. The effect is better. This is also the practice of later generations.

In Xing'an Mountains, there are forests everywhere, and forest farms are scattered everywhere. In these days, if you want to use wood, you can get it everywhere, and no one will care about it.

But after more than ten years, the wood all over the mountain can no longer be touched casually.

For forest protection, deforestation is prohibited, and many trees have directly become protected plants.

At that time, if you want to build a wood-cutting pavilion made of pure red pine like now, the wood alone will not be affordable for ordinary people.

What's more, Lu Lv has designed the wooden carving according to the function of later generations' housing, and it will not be outdated to live in it until the end of his life.

This thing, after taking care of it, it will not be a problem to stand for a hundred years.

Just a big house, covering an area of ​​180 square meters, plus a series of things such as barn and shed, and the enclosed yard, it is also a big house.

Moreover, this can be regarded as one of Lu Lu's dreams: to fall asleep smelling the fragrance of pine wood.

This is the taste of nature.

Chen Xiuyu seemed very excited, she got up early in the morning and didn't go down to the ground, she was busy making dumplings stuffed with cucumber flavor for Wang Dalong and his group, and after telling them to eat, she also excitedly participated in it.

Knowing that Jianmu Keleng needed moss a long time ago, she specially called Chen Xiuqing to help collect moss in the nearby mountains and forests, and then transported it back in a horse-drawn carriage.

Lu Lu was also looking forward to it, so he stood by and watched Wang Dalong and the others build it.

The red pine trees selected from the red pine forest on the hillside are very regular, and the thickness is similar. After peeling, they stretch the wires according to the required size and put them on the wooden frame. They saw both sides evenly with a big saw pulled by two people.

Then use a chainsaw, an ax and a chisel to carve grooves, four pieces of wood in one room, let the adjacent wood bite each other, then drill holes in the wood with drill flowers, and use the same red pine wood for reinforcement. Layer by layer, stacked together, without a single nail.

Wang Dalong is worthy of being a well-known woodcut craftsman, his work is so beautiful, the pieces of wood that are snapped together seem to fit perfectly.

Between the layers of wood, there is a layer of moss collected by Chen Xiuyu and Chen Xiuqing.

Don't underestimate this layer of moss. It can fill the gaps between the wood tightly, which can prevent air leakage and adjust the room temperature. Moreover, the wind can't penetrate and the water can't splash. Warm summer cool effect.

It is not necessary for Wang Dalong to tell Lu Lu that it is built according to Lao Maozi's method. The moss between the layers of wood, Lao Maozi even tried to feed the moss after he built the wood carving, which shows that its effect is not normal.

Although in the Northeast, people prefer to use the yellow mud under the black soil to smear and block the gaps, but for Lu Lu, that would lose the taste that woodcuts should have.

Lu Lu believes that after building it, with doors, windows and shingles installed, his house will be a very beautiful mountain villa.

The four of Yuan Baoniang also seemed to be full of curiosity about this house, Lu Lu followed wherever he went, wagging his tail and watching Wang Dalong and the others beating.

When it was near noon, Chen Xiuyu and Chen Xiuqing brought back a cart of moss again, and stood aside with Lu Lv watching excitedly.

"Brother Lu, is this house too big? It's as big as two other people's houses."

Chen Xiuqing was also extremely envious.

"It's better to be spacious, Qingzi. When you save enough money to build a house in the future, remember to make it bigger so that you can live comfortably." Lu Lv pointed out.

"As I am now, I don't know how long it will take to save enough money to build a house." Chen Xiuqing also had a headache.

"Haven't you saved hundreds of dollars now?"

Lu Lu smiled and said, "You don't need to enclose such a piece of land like me, and you can build a house with thousands of dollars."

The wood can be cut on the mountain, and all that is needed is wages.

"But I want to buy a gun first!" Chen Xiuqing said, "With a good gun, you can hunt better and make money."

"It's right to think so, it can always be built."

Lu Lu winked at him and made Chen Xiuqing look at Wang Dalong who was busy working on the foundation. He deliberately raised his voice and said, "Find an old man who can build wooden carvings and build a house. That's not a problem."

Chen Xiuqing's face turned red all of a sudden, she glared at Lu Lu with bulging eyes, and shook her head vigorously, for fear that Wang Dalong would hear Lu Lu's words.

But Lu Lu actually said it to Wang Dalong on purpose.

Upon hearing this, Wang Dalong, who was immersed in his work, raised his head to look at the three people standing side by side and watched, smiled, but didn't say much, just looked up at Chen Xiuqing from time to time, not knowing what was going on in his heart. Think about something.

Feeling extremely embarrassed, Chen Xiuqing hurriedly turned her head to the side and started scratching her head unnaturally.

Chen Xiuyu looked at her elder brother's appearance, clenched her fist, smiled and hit Lu Lu on the shoulder: "You're necrotic!"

"I don't help him break it down, just like your brother, I don't know when I will dare to speak, I am helping him!"

Lu Lu lowered his voice and blew into Chen Xiuyu's ear. After speaking, he looked up at the sky: "Let's go, I'll cook with you."

Wang Dalong was busy coming to Lu Lu's place to work, so Zhao Meiling and Wang Yan were handed over the work in the field. They were very busy, so Chen Xiuyu took over the cooking, so that Wang Yan would not have to run back and forth every day to waste time.

"What to do, just stay honest and stay, it's not like I don't know how to do it!"

Chen Xiuyu still refused to let Lu Lv do anything.

"It's almost better..."

Before Lu Lu finished speaking, he suddenly heard Yuan Bao whining in the direction of Caodianzi.

This is a sign of prey.

He froze for a moment and looked at Caodianzi.

In addition to chasing the wind to graze in the meadow, the twelve deer seem to be less afraid of people after this period of adaptation, and often go to the meadow to forage and lick the salt.

At this time, the herd of deer was staying under a big oak tree by the small river to enjoy the shade.

The four of Yuan Baoniang had already gotten used to the existence of the herd of deer. Even if Lu Lu coaxed the two young deer that were brought up the earliest and sent them to them, Yuan Bao remained indifferent. As if I didn't see it.

They have already regarded the deer as part of the meadow, and they will not make such noises at all.

Lu Lu's eyes narrowed all of a sudden, he believed in Yuan Bao's judgment that there must be wild animals coming around.

But in broad daylight, people are often active in this meadow, and there are four Yuan Baoniang, what kind of wild animals will appear at this time.

Seeing that Lu Lu's expression suddenly became serious, Chen Xiuyu quickly asked, "What's the matter?"

"Go to the basement and get my gun and ammunition bag!" Lu Lu still looked intently in the direction indicated by Yuan Bao.

Both brothers and sisters heard Lu Lu talk about the characteristics of Yuanbao, Chen Xiuyu didn't hesitate, and hurried back to the basement to get the gun.

Just when Chen Xiuyu ran to the gate of the basement, Lu Lu saw the herd of deer jumping over the creek in panic and running towards the opposite side of the grass.

Another figure jumped out of the small river forest.

Not to mention Lu Lu, even Chen Xiuqing saw that thing clearly, and called out: "Brother Lu, it's a tiger cub!"

"He...he..."

Before Chen Xiuqing finished speaking, Lu Lv had already issued a pursuit order to Yuan Baoniang and the four of them.

Obviously, the lynx was coming for the deer.

Damn, they all killed in the meadow.

How arrogant!

The lynx chased after the nearest deer very quickly, jumped up, and rushed towards the deer.

The fawn hadn't been weaned yet, and it didn't have the ability to escape from such a fierce creature that could kill even a doe. It was thrown on the ground immediately, and it was about to be bitten.

When the doe heard the fawn's cry, it turned around, and even though it had no horns, it lowered its head and charged towards the lynx.The lynx was startled and jumped to the side, but it boldly did not run away immediately. Instead, it squatted on the ground, raised one front paw, clawed in the air, and was in a stalemate with the doe.

The fawn took the opportunity to run away, and the doe was about to turn around. At this moment, the lynx suddenly jumped up, hugged the doe's head, and opened its mouth to bite.

This whole process only takes four to five seconds.

Lu Lv was terrified, all four of Yuan Baoniang rushed over barking, how dare they be so daring to hunt and kill.

If the doe's neck is bitten, with the lynx's three-centimeter-long sharp teeth, the doe will be killed within a short period of time.

If the deer that was finally caught from the deep mountains was killed, it would be a huge loss.

Now these does, to Lu Lu, are the existence of chickens laying eggs, and eggs laying chickens. In the long run, they are more valuable than a lynx.

How could he be bitten to death by it right under his nose?

Lu Lu couldn't wait any longer, so he turned around and ran towards the basement. He saw Chen Xiuyu holding a gun and was about to get out from the small gate of the basement. Lu Lu took it and ran towards the basement.

However, when he came back, he saw that the doe had already run away and the four of Yuan Baoniang were rushing towards the ridge beside the small river to catch up.

Apparently, seeing Yuan Baoniang rushing towards her, it also got scared, gave up hunting the doe, and fled into the woods on the hillside again.

Lu Lu didn't stop walking, but still chased after her. Although the doe escaped now, he began to worry about Yuan Baoniang and her four again.

The lynx in the Northeast is big and can grow up to [-] kilograms. Compared with wolves, it is not much smaller. If this thing encounters a lone wolf, it can be hunted and killed.

In summer, when food is plentiful, wolves will disperse, because individual wolves have a good chance of successfully hunting. In this case, fighting with lynx can kill wolves.

And the three puppies are only four months old, and they are just beginning to hunt. Even with Yuan Bao leading them, they are sometimes hard to guard against.

He had only watched a lynx preying on piglets more than ten days ago.

This thing is much more cunning than imagined.

Lu Lu ran, and Chen Xiuqing followed.

Not to mention that Lu Lu's leg injury is not completely healed, even if he is intact, he is not Chen Xiuqing's opponent when he really runs, and Chen Xiuqing soon overtakes him.

He couldn't jump the small river, so Lu Lu didn't care about the wet shoes and trousers, and ran all the way, but Chen Xiuqing went to the river to bear it, and was led by Lu Lu again.

Seeing Lu Lu like this, Chen Xiuqing didn't care about it, and ran across the river and followed Lu Lu into the forest.

Above, the four of Yuan Baoniang were screaming fiercely.

Lu Lu and Chen Xiuqing used both hands and feet to quickly climb up the forest. When they got close to the fence, through the gaps in the trees, they could see the lynx crouching on the top railing of the fence, looking down. Blocked by the railing, there were only four Yuan Baoniangs barking at it.

When Lu Lu saw this situation, he immediately stopped, raised his gun to his face, and prepared to aim and shoot directly.

Before he had time to aim, the lynx had already noticed the situation in the woods, jumped off the fence, and got into the woods behind the mountain.

Lu Lu could only put down the gun resentfully, and climbed up the mountain ridge, gasping for breath.

When they got to the fence, Yuan Baoniang's barking gradually stopped.

Needless to say, Lu Lu also knew that the lynx had run away.

"This lynx has a lot of guts!" Lu Lu looked at the forest behind through the fence and whispered.
