Afterwards, Chouchou looked into the distance again, and found no other differences, most of them were villages and open spaces, and there were no abandoned cave dwellings like they encountered before.

If you just find an open space to build a car shed, there are many open spaces nearby, so there is no need to go too far, it is better to find a suitable place to build it later.

Get the car done as early as possible, at least before dark, and you can use it after dark, so you won't be so uncomfortable being blown by the wind like yesterday.

Of course, it doesn't mean that after finishing the carriage shed, the big bear will always be pulling it on the road. After all, the horse also needs to rest. No matter how slow it is, it can't stop day and night.

Or when there is no inn to rest, you can find a sheltered place to unload the car and use it as a tent, and the big bear will be tied to the side for it to rest.

Now that it has been decided, it will no longer let Chouchou explore far away, let it find a relatively unpopular open space nearby, at least not on the main road to and fro.

Although there are not many pedestrians here, after all, it is not far from the town, and there will be passers-by from time to time. As long as there are pedestrians, she will inevitably be treated as a bustling crowd, and she doesn't like it.

Chou Chou looked around, and said to Qingyan: "After passing Gu's Village and another village, I'm going to walk a little further, that's the gravel land, and there's a relatively low-lying place, which is quite suitable. of.

We can drive the car there, there is a misplaced slope, and people on the road cannot see it.

Qingyan was very happy to hear this, "Okay, it's decided, let's go there."

Let Big Bear speed up and head in that direction.

The things on the car have been put away by Chou Chou, and the ten wooden sticks were also found in a deserted place after leaving the town and received directly into the space. Now the car shed is empty.

It took more than 40 minutes for the carriage to reach the location Chou Chou pointed out, and it was not far away, but after all, it passed several villages, and there were still two or three fields and wasteland, and it was probably more than ten miles away. The road is uneven and you can't gallop, so it took a lot of time.

After arriving there, Daxiong turned left according to Chouchou's command, and within a minute of walking, Qingyan jumped off the carriage and walked directly beside the carriage.

There is no way, it is too bumpy, it is indeed a gravel field, there are gravels everywhere, and it is impossible to avoid the carriage.

Fortunately, there are no big pits, just some small gravel, the big ones are only the size of a palm, but the current car has no shock absorption at all, and the bumps are even more uncomfortable when the wooden wheels roll on it.

It took more than half an hour from the main road to the pothole that Chou Chou mentioned.

Qingyan couldn't help complaining: "Is this what you said is not far from the main road? It's two or three miles away, right?"

Chou Chou said confidently: "It's not far away, if it's too close, it's impossible not to see it from the outside."

This is true, this low-lying area is indeed okay. After they drove the car in, they couldn't feel the wind at all. You must know that the northwest wind is quite strong today, at least four or five degrees. It's going to be tough.

Fortunately, the sun is shining now, and the temperature is not too low. It should be around [-] degrees, and it feels quite comfortable.

This temperature is just right for working. If it's too hot, she really doesn't want to move.

Finding a flat place, first unloaded the carriage from the big bear, then asked Chouchou to take out the military shovel on the off-road vehicle, shoveled two grooves on the slope that was almost straight up and down, and put the two shafts of the carriage Place it on top so the wagon lays flat for the shed to fit.

Let Chouchou get some grass and water for Big Bear, and let him eat and rest by the way.

The whole morning has passed, and Big Bear should be thirsty and hungry.

Then put the little leopard on the ground, gave it milk and water, and let it run and play on the ground by itself.

Chouchou also came out of the space, and helped Chouchou unload the previous car shed.

The two of them have great strength, so they just pulled out the branches with their hands. The branches that were removed were not thrown away.

Then I took out those wooden strips, and the tool box in the trunk of the off-road vehicle. There are a lot of tools in it, including pliers, screwdrivers, saws, and chisels, which are just right for use now.

Saw two of them from the middle with a saw, and divide them into two one-meter wooden strips, and then saw two of them into 1.5-meter strips.

She planned to get a 1.5-meter-high carriage, and it was enough to sit in it.

The side rails on both sides of the carriage are 1.5 centimeters long, so one meter of wooden strips is enough, and two [-]-meter wooden strips are installed on the front shaft, so that the shed can be longer and save feet from being exposed when lying in it. The previous ones weren't long enough.

Two holes were drilled on the shaft, which are not used on the side of the car, but the previous ones can still be used.

And make it a bit forward, so that when there are people on the road, you can sit in front of the car and drive the car, and you can block the cold air even if you are not exposed to the wind and sun.

The top was fixed in a circle according to the length of the six wooden strips, and three were installed horizontally, and the last two were fixed by him, and then reinforced with wooden wedges, so that a frame was completed.

Of course, the mortise and tenon structure is still used, and there are nails in the toolbox, but she dare not use them for fear of being exposed.

And the mortise and tenon structure is used well, in fact, it is much stronger than nails.

He held a wooden bar in front of him with his hand and shook it, yes, it won't shake.

After that, cover the top with plastic sheeting. You don’t need to wrap it completely, just cover the top and both sides. Anyway, there are mats and tarpaulins, so basically there will be no air leakage.

Then cover it with a mat, but it is not very easy to handle. The shelf is rectangular, but the mat is not soft, and there is no way to fit it tightly on the shelf.

This is not impossible, in fact, it is better, a little supply, in case of rain and snow, there will be no water (snow).

The mat is long enough and big enough to cover both sides and the middle, and it is fixed with fine hemp rope, and then the two oilcloths bought before are covered on the mat, so that it is completely airtight.

The other mat is also useful, it is to be fixed inside, so that the frame and plastic sheeting inside can be covered up, even if someone sees inside, they can't see anything.

Then there is only the back of the car, and the back of the car must not be fixed with tree vines like before.

There are two horizontal wooden strips at the back, and she used tree vines to pull two vertical strips, and then fixed the previous straw mat on top.

It is definitely not enough to have straw mats alone, it is a bit ventilated, but the oilcloth is gone.

Qingyan thought for a while, and simply hung the rabbit fur blanket that was spread in the compartment before, so that there would be no problem at all.

Afterwards, let Chouchou take out the coarse cloth that he bought earlier. The interior of the carriage must be covered with coarse cloth.

I cut a piece of coarse cloth with scissors and laid it on the bottom first, then took out two pieces of sheepskin that I bought before, and sewed the two pieces of sheepskin roughly together with a needle and thread, and spread it in the trunk.

Their specialty is different. The tanned sheepskin doesn't have any peculiar smell, and it has a little herbal fragrance.

Although put it under the nose and sniff carefully, you can still smell the smell of sheep, but it is so small that it can be ignored.

After the sheepskin was laid out, she spread the piece of fine cotton cloth on top of the sheepskin again, so that it could be changed and washed, otherwise she didn't know how to clean the sheepskin if it was dirty.

Just look at the appearance of the carriage, and it is probably complete, but it is definitely not acceptable to open the front, not only because it is not tight when resting at night, but also when people walk on the road and look inside the carriage, it is clear at a glance.

At that time, Chou Chou and Little Leopard will not be able to stay inside, nor will they be able to smuggle things inside, at least those big guys will not be able to take them out if they meet someone.

Thinking about the things she bought before, she was reluctant to part with the cowhide, which was used to make shoes, and the leftover sheepskin was also used to make sheepskin quilts, not to mention the fox fur, which was used to make fur coats.

The winter here is very cold, even if she goes south later, she won't be able to escape the winter, and it will take the next summer to go to the warm south.

In the end, I picked up the coarse cloth, cut two pieces according to the size of the front of the carport, and sewed them together with needles and threads, and fixed them as car curtains.

A piece of coarse cloth is a bit thin, and it is easy to be blown up by the wind. It is better to sew two pieces together, and it is more windproof.

She deliberately cut it a little longer, so that it can be held down by something when it is inside.

She took off her shoes and got in, and tried it out lying in it, um, it was so comfortable!

Lying down, her head felt a little low, and she just remembered a problem. When she was shopping at the grocery store, she forgot to buy buckwheat husks for pillows.

I saw it at the time, but I didn't think about it. Now that I was lying in the carriage, I remembered that she didn't have a pillow yet, and she always used the bag as a pillow.

Of course, you can continue to use it later, but it is definitely not as comfortable as a pillow. Now it seems that you can only wait to meet the town again, or buy it after arriving in Yunling County.

Then there was the quilt. She sewed two pieces of sheepskin together, and then tore two pieces of rough cloth. She thought it was troublesome to sew the quilt cover, so she sewed the two pieces of cloth on the outside of the sheepskin. Anyway, she just took it apart when washing.

Such a simple sheepskin quilt is ready, and you can continue to use your own big down jacket as a quilt when there is no one, which is light and warm.

Once there are people, this sheepskin quilt can be used on the bright side.

These must be prepared first, so as to save them from being caught temporarily when they are in use. If there are quilts in the county, they must still buy quilts. These things are not as comfortable as quilts.

It seems very simple to say, but it took a lot of time to finish all this. When I stopped, the sun had already set to the west.

I raised my arm and looked at the watch, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, and this tossing has been done for six or seven hours!
Fortunately, in the northwest side, the sky is bright and dark, and the sun is only in the west at seven o'clock, and it is still high in the sky, and there is no sign of setting.

Then just eat dinner here, rest for a while before continuing on the road, if she can't wake up, she can just spend the night here, anyway, she doesn't have any urgent matters, it's the same everywhere.

And here it is leeward, and no one around is very quiet, and there are other dangers and ugliness, which is not a problem at all.

And if she wakes up, she will continue to go east. After this afternoon, Big Bear can be regarded as having a rest. Even if she travels a little more at night, there is no problem, and she can reach Yunling County in one go.

First, I asked Chouchou to take out the tub and water to wash his hands, then found a flat place, and asked Chouchou to take out the big tub for bathing that he bought earlier, and put it on the ground to use as a temporary table.

She regretted that when she was in the cottage, she didn't put the table and bench into the Chou Chou space, otherwise she could use it now.

It doesn't matter too much now, anyway, it's just a temporary improvisation, it's okay.

After washing her hands, she buckled the small wooden basin and it became a small bench. She sat on the wooden basin, and Chouchou had already taken out the packed vegetables and put them on the big basin.

Qingyan opened the food box, and only took out mutton wrapped in scallions and a portion of stewed lamb, and asked Chouchou to take out five pancakes, and put the rest back in, so as not to let it cool outside for a while.

Chou Chou squatted directly on the big wooden basin, one person and one beast began to feast on it.

After a while, the two dishes and the five sesame cakes were all gone. Qingyan ate two sesame cakes with the vegetables, and Chouchou ate three.

I saw the little one hugging its stomach and hiccupping.

Qingyan looked at it curiously, "I really don't know where you ate all those things, your stomach is not a bottomless pit, is it?"

Chou Chouwai said proudly there: "My current size is just an illusion. It doesn't mean that my food intake has become so small along with it. The food intake is still the size of my body. Of course, it is now. If I return to my peak state, let alone three biscuits, thirty are not enough for me to eat, but my main body can become very large."

Qingyan was a little curious: "I've seen Xiangxiang's body before, and it's only a circle bigger than that pig. Will it become bigger after it recovers?"

Chou Chou didn't want to mention his old enemy, but he nodded, "The two of us are about the same size, but I'm upright, taller than it, and it's heavier than me, so we fight each other. They're evenly matched."

After that, Chouchou made some water, cleaned the empty dinner plate and put it in the space, and put the two big basins and small basins in.

Qingyan wiped the little leopard clean, and then got into the carriage with Chouchou and lay down. She was quite tired after this afternoon.

At this time, Chouchou lay beside her and said mysteriously: "Yanyan, this place is not bad, do you know why there are some gravels here?"

Qingyan shook her head, of course she didn't know, but she followed Chouchou's words, thought about it carefully, and guessed: "Could it be that this is a saline-alkali land?"

Chou Chou shook his head, "There is a difference between saline-alkali land or land and gravel land. Let me tell you, it's because there are gold mines underneath."

"What! Gold mine!?"

Qingyan was startled by what it said and sat up all of a sudden.
