Chapter 1550: Reinforce the Camp

Faced with this situation, the wolf finally felt scared and rushed to the back without any hesitation. In just a few seconds, it disappeared into the night.

Looking at the deep night, the young man did not dare to act rashly. He was secretly disappointed and thought that he did not act more ruthlessly.

But this also made him realize that the wild wolves in this forest did not seem to be very big, just like dogs.

Generally speaking, the weight of a normal wolf should be more than 100 kilograms. With a huge body, an axe on his head would not have much effect.

But the wild wolf just now would never weigh more than 50 kilograms, at most only 30 or 40 kilograms, and it was a relatively small species, otherwise it would not have been so easy to cut him away.

If it was another larger wild wolf, he would probably not be able to fight it today, which made the young man secretly thankful.

At the same time, what happened this time also reminded him that there should be large predators in the surrounding area, which was far less safe than he originally thought.

In order to ensure that he would not be attacked at night, he had to make some preparations in advance to make the area where he lived safer, at least to ensure that even if other predators approached at night, he could react in time and fight back.

On the one hand, it was necessary to make some large traps and arrange them outside the camp to prevent wild animals from approaching.

On the other hand, it was also necessary to make some reminder tools, such as bamboo bells, to remind him when wild animals approached.

So he stopped sleeping and started making arrangements by the firelight, but neither bamboo bells nor large traps were suitable for making at night.

So, he planned to make a stronger fence to protect the area where he was.

During this period, he also found a lot of bamboos one after another, cut some back, and now he couldn't sleep, so he started to split the bamboos into two or three centimeters thick bamboo pieces.

And he also cut some bamboo silk, which could be used as lines or ropes.

It has to be said that bamboo is very useful. It can be used as a weapon, a building material, a rope, and even weaving furniture. It is simply a perfect material.

The young man cut the bamboo into pieces, and then inserted them around the camp, cross-woven them together, and surrounded them into a fence. His shelter, vegetable garden and living area were completely surrounded.

After these days of operation and construction, he has turned the surrounding area of ​​more than 30 square meters into a clean and complete camp, without any weeds or rocks, and all flat land.

Now surrounded by a fence, it looks like a lot of life, not like living in the wild, more like a small farm

By the way, he also left a door for the fence to facilitate his usual entry and exit.

When all this was done, the sky was slowly getting brighter, and the young man did not rest too much, but simply ate a bite of food and hurried out to find materials.

The shelter has been built almost, and the main body has been connected with mortise and tenon structure. Now it only needs to fill the roof and the surrounding walls, and this solid shelter can be used for a long time.

So his main task recently is to collect more wood with consistent thickness and length, and fill the entire shelter body after carbonization.

As for food, he plans to stop for a while, because he has accumulated a lot of food before.

For example, bean pods, bamboo tubes with a diameter of 5cm and a depth of 15cm, he collected more than a dozen buckets, which were full and could be eaten for a long time.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to continue collecting, but the bean pods are almost gone. If I want to continue collecting, I have to go to a farther place.

As for starch made from rhizomes, he filled 23 bamboo tubes with the same bamboo tubes, which would be full.

According to his appetite, he only eats one or two bamboo tubes a day, generally one and a half bamboo tubes, so these can last for a long time.

A lot of wild fruits have been stored, and it seems that it is approaching autumn. The fruits have become more mature and the sweetness has increased.

Since the food is stable, he plans to focus more on building a shelter and complete the construction of this shelter as soon as possible.

Because he observed the recent weather and found that it was approaching autumn, it means that this world also has changes from spring to summer, autumn to winter, and it is likely to usher in a cold winter.

The temperature is close to 0 degrees at night now. Once the cold season comes, the temperature will be lower. If there is no shelter with good enough warmth, he will definitely not be able to continue living.

Therefore, the progress of the shelter must be accelerated.

It took almost a whole day to collect wood, carbonize it, and then build it with mortise and tenon structure.

There were many difficulties in the process, and a lot of materials were wasted. It took almost 15 days to build the whole shelter.

The volume is not very large, only about seven or eight square meters. It can just hold a fireplace and a small bed, and the remaining area can be used to store items.

The young man also reserved the location of the chimney and the fireplace. The nights here are too cold, and keeping warm is a must.

However, when the main body is fully built, there is another huge project that he needs to complete, that is, in the construction of the fireplace, not only wood can be used, but clay must be used.

But fortunately, there is a lot of yellow clay in the stream next to the camp.

Yellow clay, plus wood ash, plus dried hay segments, blend together to form a material with high viscosity, which can be used to make fireplaces, effectively preventing the house from being burned directly.

The fireplace made of this clay is khaki in color after drying. Although there are some cracks, it is still strong and the smoke exhaust effect is also very good. It is definitely a great success.

In order to further improve the safety and cold-proof effect of the entire shelter, the young man made more clay and then filled it in the gaps of the main body of the house, including the walls and roof.

The walls are filled with more, and almost all the wood is covered with a layer, which can prevent it from being burned by fire and can also effectively keep warm.

The roof is less covered, and it is barely filled with a layer. Because there is a waterproof cloth underneath, it effectively prevents rainwater from penetrating.

Because the roof is covered with many layers of dried hay, which has been accumulated in recent times. After being dried in the sun, it is finally tied up with bamboo threads and spread on the roof layer by layer, similar to thatch.
