Chapter 56: Rows of trees, mud, and walls.


   These piles are nailed down about every half a meter. At the corner of the wall, the nails are more densely nailed.
   After this work lasted about eight days, on the excavated foundation on the westernmost side, there was a row of wooden piles about thirty or forty centimeters above the ground.
   is somewhat similar to the steel bars erected on the foundation of later generations.
The stakes appear to be uneven. There is no way. After all, there are no axes, saws, hatchets, and other things that can break these pieces of wood. It is hard to get a similar size enough to use. Keep the size uniform. But it's too difficult.
   But the wooden stakes nailed to the ground have a uniform specification, at least forty centimeters, because the bottom of these stumps was marked forty centimeters by Han Cheng and his underage students.
   The stump is nailed, the next thing to do is to weave the raft, and then build it with the mud wall.
  The branches used to weave the wooden rafts have been enough by the minors in the tribe.
  Because the branches needed to make the rafts do not need to be too thick, they can break them from the fallen trees by their ability.
The weaving of    wooden rafts is relatively simple. You only need to arrange the branches of the appropriate thickness and relatively straight on the ground, and then use the more flexible rattan to weave and fix them horizontally.
   This is a bit like weaving a bamboo mat.
   Of course, the techniques are not exactly the same, and the wooden raft is much rougher than the bamboo mat.
   Among the adults in the tribe, the most clever hand is lame, because he has inconvenient legs and feet, and he cannot go hunting and doing heavy work like the rest of the people. He doesn't want to be an idler, so he has done a lot of work.
   To make a not-so-good analogy, this is the same reason that the hearing and tactile senses of blind people are much better than normal.
   Wooden rafts, lameness is the most important cadre.
  Han Cheng hadn't done this before, just saw it and knew some general methods, and after telling the lameness, the two began to study everything.
   The technology of this thing is not complicated, but it took a day to produce results.
   But this thing is different from woven fish cages, because these things like tree and rattan are much harder than rope. Without a certain amount of strength, it is difficult to weave it. At least the current Han Chengcheng can’t do it.
   After researching and determining the knitting method, Han Jincheng called two more clever hands and followed the lame to learn the knitting of wooden rafts...
   Wooden rafts three meters long and more than half a meter wide were erected horizontally on both sides of the foundation at the south corner, facing each other.
   In the middle of the two wooden rows, there are two tree stumps about half a meter in length. There are some uncleaned branches on the stumps.
   The two tree stumps are one at each end, this is to avoid the two rafts coming together.
   Two wooden rafts are evenly tied by four rattans, one end is blocked upright with a wooden raft half a meter wide and one meter long, and the same is tied with canes to make a solid model of such a rectangular parallelepiped.
   Next, I will pour the mixed mud into it.
He also pays attention to mud. The wall viscosity of pure mud casting may not be enough. So when he muddled, Han Cheng added some rope grass that was cut to half a meter in length, and others that were not as tough as the rope grass. Other grasses that are still not too resilient went in, and even sprinkled a handful of salt into it.
   Rope grass, etc., play the same role in the mud as thin steel bars, and can connect the mud to a greater extent.
   As for the salt...
   Han Cheng really didn't know what role it would play in it, but he just remembered to let it go inside when he saw other people's live mud pots.
   Since it is put inside, it must have its meaning. For this wall Han Cheng is very important, salt is not particularly rich for the current tribe, but the wall is more difficult to build.
   In order to prevent any regrettable defects in this thing that took so much effort to make, Han Cheng did not hesitate to sprinkle salt in.
The    wall system is also inseparable from the division of labor and cooperation.
Some people are responsible for carrying water, some are responsible for digging soil and mud, some are responsible for getting the living mud into the space enclosed by the wooden raft, and some are responsible for spreading the mud, and then after a certain thickness has accumulated, start to use the head The big and thin wooden stakes smashed the mud hard to make them firmer and condense into one body.
Of course, the mud is not too thin to live. You only need to moisten the puckered soil, mix it with grass and salt, and stir it vigorously for a while, then you can use animal skins and the previously burnt earthen jars. The gaps between the rows are filled.
   "咚! 咚! 咚!"
   It is a very laborious job to build up porcelain in wet soil, and it is done by powerful adult men like senior brothers and second seniors.
   The muscles on the big brother's arm bulged, and then suddenly stretched out, and a muffled sound of ‘boom’ followed.
   The muscles on his arms bulged again, and the stakes in his hands rose up, and a mark the size of a bowl appeared on the wet mud.
   This mark is at least half a centimeter lower than other places!
   Sweat slipped from him, fell to the ground, and fell into pieces.
   The beauty of labor and hard work are intertwined to form a picture called life.
   There may be casual success in this world, but such success is really not much.
   The vast majority of success is the result of great efforts ~ EbookFREE.me~ After a great deal of hardship and training, the flowers that have just bloomed with blood, sweat, and perhaps tears.
   The wall of about nine meters in length and half a meter in height was finally built up. This section of the wall also includes a corner.
  Han Cheng did not rush to let someone remove the wooden raft, but then put another layer of wooden raft on top, or follow the previous operation...
  Because of the 30cm deep foundation, after three layers of wood were laid down, the wall of this section was only about one meter and twenty meters above the ground.
   This time, it can only be so high, and if it is taller, it needs to be put on a stand.
  The rattan sticks that bound the wooden rafts were cut off by the big brothers who used stone knives and sharpening tapes, and then pried a few times on the edges with a stick. The wooden rafts stuck to the soil wall had fallen off.
   After seeing the wall, Han Cheng's a little nervous heart became calm. Although the surface of the wall is not flat, it is generally very good. There are no cracks and no looseness.
   Although it is made of soil, it reaches a thickness of half a meter, and the tough grass in the soil and the strong beating of the big brothers and others have caused them to undergo a qualitative change.
  After this time of tempering, they are no longer the soil that was loosened into a ball for kneading!
Big Brother    followed Han Cheng's way, reaching out and pushing on the dirt wall.
   At the beginning, he was worried that he would knock down the soil-made thing, and he didn't use much effort.
   was just a tentative effort. After seeing that the earth wall was okay, it gradually increased his strength.
   At the end, the big brother blushed and his neck was thick, and he couldn't help but touch the earth wall.
   He looked at the earth wall, and then at Han Cheng, his eyes were bright, and the wall that the son of God said did not disappoint!
