Chapter 34 Building a New House
The next day, Li Haoran and Zhang Yuling also went to the paradise to build a bamboo house. The bamboo needed for the house had been cut yesterday and all moved into the cave. Ziyi's work speed was really great. I can send him 10,000 likes emoticons.
When they arrived at the paradise on earth, Li Haoran and Zhang Yuling both climbed up the watchtower and marveled at the ingenious craftsmanship of the cave and the magic of nature. After entering this paradise and seeing the hidden caves, tunnels and water caves, Li Haoran and Zhang Yuling were at a loss for words to praise it. Regarding this cave with a unique feel, Li Haoran said that the name "Dongtian Fudi" is very good and it is truly a paradise on earth!
At first, Li Haoran had some objections to building a new house here, but now he fully supports it.
After Li Haoran finished visiting the cave, he and Ziyi started to build a new house. Li Haoran and Ziyi were the main force, with Yike and Zhang Yuling as helpers.
They split the bamboo before building a new house. According to the size split, the sizes of different parts are different. Some are used to build main beams, and some are used to build pillars. The thicker parts are used as pillars and beams, and the roof is made after the frame is completed. The roof is made of bamboos of the same diameter, and every five bamboos are stabilized with nylon ropes. Even the floor is made of bamboo.
After the bamboo house was built, a two-meter-wide bamboo bed and two bamboo frames were made. The bamboo frames were surrounded by bamboo strips in three directions, and a simple bamboo wardrobe was created. It was so lovely.
In just one day, a beautiful bamboo house was built. Ziyi and Li Haoran were also very satisfied with their masterpiece. Yike and Zhang Yuling were also full of admiration, and at the same time thought to themselves, why are they feeling a little proud that such a capable man is their man?
"Uncle Hao, let's build another room. Can you and Aunt move in as well?" Yi Ke suggested, "It will be more lively with more people."
"Yes, Uncle Hao, this cave is so big! It's spacious enough to build a few rooms. And the cave is so high, we don't have to worry about wild animals breaking in when we sleep at night. We can rest peacefully. Let's move over. Besides, it's inconvenient to take care of you if you're far away." Ziyi also persuaded.
Zhang Yuling looked at Uncle Hao with longing eyes. Ziyi was raised by her and was like a son to her. Before, the cave was too small and they had to live separately. Now that they have such good conditions, of course she wants to move in and live with them.
"Okay, move here." Li Haoran nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, that's great," Yike hugged Zhang Yuling and cheered. "Auntie, auntie, I can eat the meals you cook every day."
"Okay, from now on, auntie will cook for you every day and make you plump and white." Zhang Yuling was also very happy.
"Since we are moving here, we can move the firewood to the cave where we raise chickens and rabbits, and use the empty space to build two more bamboo houses. When the mountain people come to attend the wedding, we can give one bamboo house to the women and one to the children." Li Haoran said.
"Uncle Hao, the cave where chickens are raised is called Yindong." Yike reminded.
"Oh! Why is it called a hidden cave and not a chicken hole or a rabbit hole?" Li Haoran asked.
"Oh! Don't mention it. At the beginning..." Yike told the story of how desperate he was in the cave, how he searched inch by inch, and finally found the entrance to the tunnel. Everyone was amazed.
Ziyi didn't expect that there was such a hidden secret in the cave. Thinking of the miserable situation if Yi Ke failed to find the exit, he felt so distressed that he couldn't help but hold Yi Ke's hand, wishing he could hold him in his arms to comfort him.
Yike smiled sweetly at him, revealing her little white teeth that dazzled his eyes, and he also followed suit and giggled.
Yike suggested: "You can raise ducks in the cave below the bamboo forest." Yike had wanted to raise ducks there for a long time, but he couldn't eat so many by himself and didn't want to make trouble.
"Okay, let's continue working on it tomorrow." Li Haoran finally made the decision.
A week later, this paradise has undergone earth-shaking changes. There was a beautiful bamboo house standing in the east, west, south and north. There were also two small bamboo houses built next to Tunnel No. 2, one was a bathroom and the other was a toilet. A shallow ditch was dug around the floor of the bathroom, and a bamboo tube with bamboo joints opened was installed at the entrance of the tunnel. One end of the bamboo tube extended out of the hole. I don't know how they did it with the toilet, but the filth in the toilet also flowed out of the hole through a bamboo tube. They dug a big pit outside the hole to store the bath water and toilet filth, which will be used as organic fertilizer in the future. The surface of the pit is covered with trees, leaving only a small opening, less than one square meter, to facilitate the taking out of the organic fertilizer. The tool for taking organic fertilizer is a long bamboo handle with a large round plastic bucket tied to the end of the handle.
They also plan to slowly dig Tunnel No. 2 in the future to create a passage where people can walk upright, so that it will be convenient to go to the orchard without having to go down from the watchtower and walk around the mountain.
The medicine drying area in the center of the cave was built into a flower bed. The omnipotent Ziyi transplanted a plum tree on the edge of the flower bed. I don’t know where he found this plum tree. A thick layer of soft soil was also laid in the middle of the flower bed. Yi Ke transplanted some green vegetables from the Baicao Garden. The warm sunlight shone through the large gap in the top of the cave, gently caressing the leaves.
The hidden caves were also replanned by them. The animals were no longer all free-range together. The chaotic situation with chickens flying, rabbits running and sheep bleating disappeared. They are all surrounded by bamboo fences, each in its own circle.
The most wonderful thing is that Ziyi made a waterwheel, which can directly pump up water from Water Cave No. 2, and then use bamboo pipes to drain the water to the kitchen. In the future, when washing pots and pans and food, there is no need to go to the bottom of the cliff outside the cave to wash them, and it is also convenient to use water for bathing. Only drinking water is collected from the spring, which saves a lot of manpower and time.
The watchtower also changed its appearance. Fences were installed on the edge of the tower to prevent people from accidentally falling. The bottom edge of the fence was surrounded more densely, and the uneven ground in the center of the tower was chiseled flat. Ziyi said that this place would be used as a medicine drying platform in the future. There is more sunlight here than in the cave, and the drying time is longer. The bottom edge of the fence is surrounded densely, so there is no need to worry about the wind blowing the herbs away.
"Brother Ziyi, how come you are so smart!"
"Brother Ziyi, how did you develop your brain? You have come up with this method. Let me see how your head is developed! You are so smart!"
Yike hugged Ziyi's head and rubbed it.
Ziyi let Yike rub him and even lowered his head deliberately to make it easier for her to ravage him, his heart feeling soft.
