Survival From The Wilderness: Mission Master

Chapter 76

Chapter 76 Weaving Bamboo Mats

After the door is completed, because the cave is irregular, there are still many gaps around it.

The next step is to seal these gaps.

First, the bamboo strips need to be cut according to the length and width of these gaps, which is a very time-consuming and meticulous work.

When Ye Qing cut all the bamboo strips that he needed, it was already afternoon. After having a quick meal, he continued to work.

This time, he didn’t need to do it alone. He asked Zhao Ling and Funi to mix the clay and water that they had dug back before, like kneading dough, and he started to move the bamboo sticks one by one to the gap. Fill in.

After he had filled it all in, the mud had been reconciled long ago. At this time, Ye Qing picked up the mud again and pasted on the bamboo strips.

Just simple bamboo strips can not achieve the effect of rainproofing, and after the mud is applied, it can play a good waterproofing role. At the same time, after the clay has solidified, it can play a certain role in insulation. Xia Liang is not an exaggeration to describe it.

After all the bamboo strips are pasted with mud, there is still a little mud left. Ye Qing directly pastes the mud on the threshold. The wooden threshold instantly becomes earthen, and the outside is polished smoothly. There was heavy rain and stagnant water, and it couldn’t flow into the cave.

It can be said that Ye Qing built a wall directly at the entrance of the cave today. If the door is closed, the space inside the cave will be directly isolated.

Although the light is definitely dim, but now the place for cooking has been decided to be outside. If the inside is only for sleeping, a darker light is more suitable.

Besides, the fire in the cave has been kept burning, and it will not be dim. It is really not good. There is also an alcohol lamp as a backup.

Next, after washing the hands with the rain outside, the two small iron buckets were left outside, and the rain could wash them clean.

Then Ye Qing greeted Zhao Ling and they set up a fire next to the hole outside the wall, which can quickly dry the mud that was pasted up, but also wanted to dry the ground wet by the rain. Then I will cook outside.

If there are conditions in the future, Ye Qing still plans to build a stove outside here, but now the clay has been used up, and the rain outside is getting heavier, it is almost the same as yesterday, and he doesn’t bother to create clay again.

After doing all this, the sky has dimmed, and it’s time to play with the radio every day, but it is still the same as yesterday. It may be due to the weather. The radio signal is extremely poor. After debugging, I did not receive useful information. Turn off the radio.

After that, I have dinner, learn English, and chat.

Ye Qing sleeps next to the fire, and the bed allows the two girls to sleep, but before going to bed, Ye Qing checked the flour for moisture.

Facts have proved that the “blocking” he built today is still very useful, at least completely blocking the possibility of rain from outside.

And after closing the door, the cave looked like it was completely closed, giving people an inexplicable sense of security.

When I woke up the next day, the fire outside was not extinguished by the rain, which gave Ye Qing no small surprise.

The rain did not stop, and it was even heavier than yesterday and the day before yesterday. The rain slapped on the ground and made a rattling sound, which was louder than firecrackers.

Zhao Ling asked Ye Qing what arrangements he has today. Of course, there are no arrangements. With such a heavy rain, Ye Qing couldn’t be too lazy to be too diligent.

But he was not completely out of things to do. He chopped so many bamboos yesterday and could not be used up at all, and it was originally he chopped more deliberately.

Three people, with only two beds, always sleep on the rock wall is not a problem, so he plans to use these bamboos to give himself a bamboo mat today.

Because Ye Qing didn’t arrange for Zhao Ling, she arranged it herself. She casually ate some leftovers from yesterday for breakfast, and then dragged Fanny into it, and she didn’t know what to do.

Ye Qing originally wanted them to help, but now that the weather and time are still a lot, I don’t bother to care about it.

Then before he started to start, the two women came out again, carrying the big iron pot with a piece of white flowers inside, which turned out to be flour.

After asking, I found out that Zhao Ling, Nizi, was planning to make noodles for lunch today.

When it comes to eating, Zhao Ling has always been in charge. Ye Qing didn’t say anything after asking.

He started to build his own bamboo mat.

Using bamboo to make a bed is much easier on the frame than with wood.

Because the wood also needs the sample connection structure, the bamboo is not needed. I picked four bamboos with the thickness of arms and chopped them to a length of about one meter with a machete.

After that, I cut a few holes on the four pillars with a knife, and picked four more straight ones, which were also cut to the same length, and then both ends were sharpened, and they were directly inserted into the small holes on the pillars. .

0·Look for flowers…

The structure of a bed is thus revealed.

The next thing is the highlight. This time because there is plenty of time, Ye Qing doesn’t plan to put the rolling wood directly like last time. He intends to make a real bamboo mat.

First I took a piece of bamboo, divided it into four pieces with a cross pin, and then divided it into finger-wide bamboo strips with a machete.

Immediately afterwards, the outermost skin of the bamboo was peeled off and used as the material for weaving bamboo mats.

Before living in the countryside, many old people in the village would use bamboo to weave some wilted vegetable baskets and the like. Ye Qing had seen it, and would often help out.

So he seemed very skilled at this time.

Pick out a bamboo strip and start cutting the blade about one millimeter inward of the bamboo skin, and then cut it down step by step along the gap.

Soon, a long bamboo skin was cut out by him, followed by the second and third.

I have been cutting a lot, and it seems that it should be enough, so I stopped.

At this time, Zhao Ling and the others had made their face together, and they didn’t know where they pulled out a wooden board to put underneath, and then picked up a piece of bamboo from Ye Qing that he didn’t use to use as a rolling pin, and they were holding their face in full swing. .

After taking a look, Ye Qing couldn’t help feeling dumb when she found that Funi was also learning a lot on the side.

It seems that it is really the daughter of a pirate leader who is close to the red and black. He has been with Zhao Ling for a long time, and he is actually interested in cooking.

With emotion, Ye Qing also started to weave his own bamboo mat.

The bamboo skin is very self-willed, so he directly folded it in half, then passed it through the edge of the bed of the finished frame, and then folded it back here.

Each strip of bamboo skin can be folded back and forth approximately two times.

Of course, if it was just like this, it would definitely not be enough. He just tried to see if the length was enough.

The next step is to find another bamboo skin, starting from the corner of the frame, crossing the original bamboo skin at a perpendicular angle and extending to the other side.

In this way, every time the bamboo skin is added, it will be done at the same time, and the bamboo mat will be good in less than an hour.

The last chapter was slightly modified. At first, the door was installed directly with the opening, but after thinking about it, it was changed to be installed in the middle. Dry,
