Chapter 29: Bring a hat to the fence

After tying the bottom horizontal stick, Han Cheng picked up two more 55-centimeter sticks.

Put one end of the two sticks together with the top of the stick that is nailed upright, and let him tie it with a rope while he holds on.

After tying, use ropes to tie the two sticks that serve as the hypotenuse of the triangle and the two ends of the horizontal stick below together.

Triangles have stability. The one constructed by Han Cheng suddenly appeared three triangles, and it goes without saying how solid it is.

This matter is not complicated. Mu Mu and Hei Wa watched Han Cheng and Lai tie up one, and then they also took things to tie up the other.

It didn't take long before all six places were tied up.

Lai looked at the 'mountain'-shaped frames on the wall every one and a half meters, then turned to look at the house where they lived, and suddenly a look of surprise appeared on his face.

The things that the Son of God is now tying to them are very similar in shape to the 'gables' of the house.

When building a house, after raising the gables, the next step was to raise the beams. Is this the same thing now?

He told Han Cheng what he was thinking, and Han Cheng nodded happily and agreed with Lame's idea.

This primitive carpenter is getting further and further away from his ancestor, but he just doesn’t know if he will be able to create a flying wooden kite...

Since he was lame and inconvenient, Han Cheng did not let him go down this time. Instead, he asked Heiwa and Mumu to go down and look for some relatively straight branches with a diameter of one to three centimeters.

These branches are horizontal ‘beams’.

The Qingque Tribe had no shortage of branches of this size. It didn't take long for the two of them to get a small bundle up.

Han Cheng first selected the straightest beams and put them aside. These were used to place the top beams as the 'roof ridge'.

When tying the triangular beams just now, Han Chenggong deliberately made a small X-shaped groove at the top. At this time, the top 'beam' can just be stuck in it, and it will be strong by tying it with a rope.

.

Then two long wooden sticks were tied to the bottom and the middle of the two sides of the 'tripod', which looked similar to when building a house and building a roof.

Once these are done, the skeleton of the top of this seven-and-a-half-meter-long wall is ready.

Han Cheng asked Mu Mu and Hei Wa to go down and bring up two bundles of thatch.

At this time, the skeleton was complete, and the two of them had fully understood the intention of the Son of God. They were very happy. After listening to Han Cheng's instructions, they hurriedly went to make thatch.

I was a little hesitant, because according to my past experience in building roofs, the next thing I needed to do was to tie the rafters, lay the grid, paste the mud, and then install the thatch.

Why did the Son of God skip so many steps now and go straight to the last step?

He thought for a while and asked his question.

What is being built now is just to protect the wall from rain. There are no people living underneath, so there is no need to build it of that quality.

Moreover, the ceiling above the wall is very small, and the length of the slope on one side is not as long as the vigorous thatch. It is enough to just rely on these skeletons, and there is no need for so many things.

Han Cheng told these things to Lai Ting, who thought about it for a while and nodded in agreement, feeling that what the Son of God said made sense.

This gave him a vague understanding of the principle of making adjustments according to specific circumstances.

Of course, this is just a very vague consciousness, and he cannot summarize it.

A lot of thatch is tightly tied to the frame with ropes so that no gaps are left. This is somewhat similar to tying thatch on top when making a bamboo hat.

The last step of tying the thatch was a delicate job. It took several people a while to finish the seven and a half meter long roof.

After putting on the golden 'bamboo hat', this section of the wall immediately appeared extraordinary, and compared with the surrounding walls without 'bamboo hats', it looked much more noble.

As expected, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, and fences also rely on "hats" to add luster.

Both sides of the 'bamboo hat' extend to the outside of the fence. When it rains, the rainwater will drip directly to the ground along the edge of the bamboo hat and will no longer soak the wall.

Wu, who had spent more and more time lying next to the rabbit circle watching rabbits in the past two days, stood there and looked over from a distance. With the existence of houses and deer sheds, he could easily understand what Han Cheng and the others were doing.

The meaning of things.

Wu took a look and couldn't help but pat his head. The deer pen can be covered with a roof, and the house can be covered with a roof. Why can't the fence be covered with a roof?

Why couldn't I and others think of such a simple truth and method before the Son of God did it?

Han Cheng's decision to add a roof to the wall temporarily attracted Wu's attention, causing him to look away from the rabbits in the rabbit pen. He slept very late at night, often looked up at the stars and drew the shape of the moon on the pottery board.

stones, and together they asked Han Cheng and several others about the process of capping the wall.

After asking clearly, he handed the recorded matter to Shitou, and he continued to see the rabbit.

With this seven-and-a-half-meter-high fence top as a demonstration, Han Cheng doesn't need to worry about the rest. The senior brother and others who have freed up their hands from harvesting thatch will take care of it.

For the senior brother and others who have built more than ten houses, it is not difficult to build such a small-scale fence roof after knowing the specific method.

Just when Han Cheng was anxious to be the shopkeeper and see the charcoal firing situation, he suddenly realized a problem.

It's still about the wall.

This can indeed prevent the outside of the fence from being washed away by rain, but not the inside.

Because close to the inside of the fence is the low wall that is much wider than the fence.

When the time comes, the water on the inside of the fence will drip directly along the thatch and onto the low wall.

Han Cheng smiled helplessly, Damn, this is really a waste of time.

It seems that we can only wait until the senior brother and others finish the ceiling on the wall, open a small ditch on the top of the low wall facing the inner 'wall eaves', and then let Heiwa burn a batch of arched

The long tiles were turned over and put in, and seams were made with grass-gray cement to create a drainage system on the top of the low wall to guide the water from the top of the low wall.

Fortunately, it has entered winter now, with less rain and more snow, so there is no need to rush to build gutters for a while.

Han Cheng had a problem in his mind and stopped thinking about it. He stretched out his hand and touched it. There was not much warmth in the earthen kiln and the pottery boards. Together with Heiwa who came with him, he touched the pottery boards covering the earthen kiln.

Lose.

Just taking a look inside, Han Chengcheng knew that the wood in this earthen kiln had been burned to waste again.

A large piece of firewood in the middle has turned into ashes, and there are still some unburnt ones on the edge. The transition zone is some burned charcoal, and a lot of unburned wood...
