Chapter 93: Weaving wooden walls, erecting beams, tying rafters, and weaving grids

Because of the arrival of these deer, the Qingque Tribe was filled with joy, but while it was joyful, there were also some worries in my heart.

This kind of worry is not the ordinary people in the tribe, but only exists among the three giants of the Qingque Tribe - Han Cheng, Wu and Senior Brother.

Their worries come from the Pig Tribe.

It has been ten days since the visit of the Pig Tribe. This cannot be remembered wrongly, because the witch, who is very concerned about this matter, has already drawn ten paths on a ceramic board.

The food given to them by the elder brother is only enough for them to eat for five or six days at most. According to calculations, they should have arrived at the latest three days ago. In fact, until now, Han Cheng and the others have not seen the shadow of the Pig Tribe.

This made the few people who were very anxious to think about including the Pig Tribe in the Qingque Tribe.

Could it be that the people from the Pig Tribe caught their prey? Or did they find food in another tribe?

There are too many things that may happen, and Han Cheng and the others can only wait anxiously.

As for going to the Pig Tribe to see, let’s forget it. It is dangerous to spend the night in the wild at night, especially in the middle of winter. If it’s not impossible, not many tribes are willing to spend the night in the wild.

While waiting for the Pig Tribe, the people of the Qingque Tribe were not idle either. They had their own things to do, which was to build a deer ring under the leadership of the Son of God Han Cheng.

Han Cheng's original idea was to put the entire deer ring on the ceiling, but after thinking about it carefully, he still abandoned this idea.

Firstly, the light is poor, and secondly, the project volume required is too large and too cumbersome.

After thinking about it, Han Cheng decided to adopt a compromise method, which was to cover one-fifth of the deer ring onto the ceiling and the remaining open air.

In this way, when the weather is good, deer can take a walk on the open-air side. When the weather is bad, they will return to the covered side to hide from the rain and snow. Even on rainy days, there will be a dry place to rest.

This is not difficult either.

First, draw a straight line from north to south ten meters to the east of the deer ring. A wall will be built here to divide the deer ring into two parts.

After drawing the line, use the previous method of building a deer ring. On this line, dig a hole every one meter away, and then plant a column into the pit. This time the columns are used in a thicker way, all with the thickness of the bowl.

Moreover, this row of columns is more than one meter higher than the edge. This is done to make the slope so that the roof built later can drain.

After the pillars were erected, they began to weave them with branches, but this time the woven was taller than before, and they were weaved from the ground to the top.

Because this is to create a wall that can shelter from wind and rain, this kind of weaving seems very necessary.

However, the branches weaved this time were not as dense as before, because later, Han Cheng wanted to let people put mud on both sides of the woven fence, so there was no need to weave them as densely.

Of course, not all pillars have to be weaved with branches. If this is done, there is no way to enter and exit.

At the southern end, Han Cheng deliberately left three gaps for the deer to enter and exit the two places.

The part above the ground at the gap was only 1.6 meters above the ground.

At the top of this row of columns, a column is placed horizontally, which can be called a beam.

This will make the columns more secure, and also prepare for the later placement of rafters.

Because there are no "picking nails" in the shape of "gong" shape, fixing the wooden beams seems a bit troublesome. They can only be tied with tough rattan and try to tie them as strong as possible.

This is already a high-altitude operation for the Qingque Tribe.

However, as early as when building the wall, under Han Cheng's guidance, they used wood to build many shelves for standing footsteps. Of course, Han Cheng was reluctant to destroy these shelves. Isn't it used now?

The wall on the west (called it first) is ten meters away from the wall originally built on the east side. The span is too large and it will be difficult to put on the rafters in the future.

One reason is that it is difficult to find suitable thickness and thin branches as rafters as ten meters long. Another reason is that the gap is too large and not strong. After the roof is caused by time, it will easily fall off the roof. That is, the roof is prone to collapse.

So Han Cheng planted two rows of pillars inside and raised a beam across them. In this way, the original ten-meter distance was separated by these two horizontal beams and turned into more than three meters.

Of course, the pillars that set these two beams do not need to be as close as before. One is erected every three meters and connected north and south into a row.

On the east side before, a beam also emerged from the wall at the edge of the deer ring.

After these four beams are laid, the rafters are tied between the four beams.

In the standard sense, rafters are made by disassembling wood into wooden boards.

This is lighter, secondly, saves wood, and thirdly, because the specifications are the same, it is more beautiful.

At this time, the Qingque Tribe obviously did not have such ability, but fortunately, there was enough wood. Under Han Cheng's arrangement, the people in the tribe made many tree sticks as thick as babies' arms, and then tied one on the beam every thirty centimeters, connecting it from top to bottom.

Considering that when it rains in time, the earthen walls will be wet, and when the rafters are tied, Han Cheng deliberately let both ends of the rafters go out thirty centimeters.

In this way, after the roof is built, it can not only prevent the water from hitting the wall from the eaves from hitting the wall, but also cover up some slanted rain.

After the rafters were tied up, what needed to be done was something called "Zhazi". Han Cheng's hometown in later generations was called this, and he didn't know the official name.

The specific method is to first fill a log with a diameter of five centimeters and a length of more than four meters, and then tie a stick with a little finger on the log with a length of more than two meters.

Three ropes are tied to the tree stick, and the ropes are tied to both ends and the middle.

There are also some special points in ropes, and two places to tie the ropes need to be tied at one time.

There are many ropes required for weaving the grating, so you can wrap the extra rope around the stone of the right size, leaving about half a meter long for use, and wrap the rest around and tie it to the stone to prevent it from loosening.

After using the half-meter rope left, untie it and loosen the half-meter rope and use it.

The stones with ropes, one left and one right, are hanging down from both sides of the empty logs.

Then, a little finger or a thinner tree strip is placed on the first stick and six stone-bearing ropes are exchanged in turn, that is, the one that was originally on the left to the right and the one on the right to the left of the beam, so that the tree strip will be tied.

Then put another one and continue to repeat the action. When the tree bars are added enough, the gate becomes.

(I made this thing when I was a child, it was very simple, but my expression ability was not good. I needed to use a long short paragraph of words to express it. I will mention it briefly here.

I was very confused about the passage of building a deer ring because I have a lot of contact with thatched houses and tile houses. When I was writing, I wanted to write out all the general processes. I was worried that my book friends would not like to read this, so I was very embarrassed...)
