Life in a quiet village in Xianshan
Chapter 68 Understanding Human Nature
After sleeping happily all night, Gu Siwei climbed out of bed early in the morning. When he went out, he found that Sicui had already gotten up and was watering and weeding the small vegetable garden outside the yard.
"Brother, are you up?" Sicui saw Gu Siwei getting up, straightened up and said to Gu Siwei with a smile.
"Well, you should sleep a little longer. You came back very late yesterday, why did you get up so early to water the water? Children can't sleep well and grow taller," Gu Siwei said.
Sicui grinned happily and did not reply.
After a second or two, Sicui asked again: "Brother, what do you want to eat in the morning? I'll make it for you. The green vegetables are grown and ready to eat."
"You can eat it yourself, I'll go to the mountains later," Gu Siwei said.
Sicui asked: "Brother, why are you still going to the mountains? Are you asking for something again from the canteen in the factory?"
"Even if we don't want it, we have to get some for ourselves. We can get some chickens to raise when we come back this time," Gu Siwei said with a smile.
Sicui said: "That can't be done. This is a matter of caution."
"Okay, I understand, let's find a place to raise him secretly." Gu Siwei smiled.
Sicui said this a bit carefully. Even if Gu Siwei didn't raise it, some families in the village were already raising it secretly. Who doesn't want to have meat at home, and who doesn't want to live a good life.
It’s easy to raise chickens in the countryside, and it’s spring again, and all kinds of bugs are starting to appear, so there’s no need for too much food.
As for the place to raise them, it depends on the ability of each family. Maybe after raising them for a year, it is possible that all the chickens raised will be stolen by wild animals.
After talking to Sicui for a few words and asking her to arrange her own meals in the next day or two, Gu Siwei left the courtyard and prepared to go to the mountains.
Before they had gone far, they saw Liu Fulin and a few old people busy working on the river bank.
Several old people were talking next to two benches and a pile of wooden boards, and sometimes they would argue, which was overheard by Gu Siwei.
"What are you elders doing here? All the work in the fields is done, it's really fast." Gu Siwei greeted everyone with a smile.
Liu Fulin smiled and said: "How could it be finished somewhere? We are discussing shipbuilding here."
"shipbuilding?"
Gu Siwei found it strange, how could two benches and a pile of planks be considered a ship?
Liu Fulin knew at a glance that Gu Siwei had never seen anyone building a ship like this. Liu Fulin naturally knew everything about his benefactor.
Not to mention Liu Fulin, the rest of Guo Xiangping are also very enthusiastic. There is no way they can't be enthusiastic towards Lao Gu. Now everyone knows that Lao Gu is a grateful person and has some kindness to Lao Gu. Lao Gu just thinks about it. Return, look! Not only did this give Liu Fulin and Guo Shengshou's family a few acres of land.
"So this is how ships are built, what is this thing?"
Gu Siwei understood, but when he saw a pile of hemp on the ground, he became curious again.
Liu Fulin said: "This thing is for caulking. After the ship is built, there will be gaps between the boards. If it is not filled, it will leak. This thing is used for caulking. Add tung oil , lime and other materials are mixed together and filled into the cracks. Once dry and filled with water, they will stop leaking. This is also called cracking.
Now Liu Fulin is just tearing the hemp, explaining to Gu Siwei while tearing it apart.
"water proof?"
As soon as he heard about waterproofing, Gu Siwei immediately became energetic. He has been thinking about how to make his wooden house more tightly sealed. He immediately had an idea when he heard what Liu Fulin said.
"Yeah, waterproof, what's wrong?"
Liu Fulin was a little strange. He felt that Gu Siwei was a bit silly in asking this question. If the seams of the boat were not waterproof, wouldn't the boat sink if it melted in the water?
"Can it be used when building a house, such as filling the gaps in the middle of a wooden house to block the wind?" Gu Siwei asked.
Before Liu Fulin could answer, Guo Xiangping laughed and said, "Are you going to use this thing to crack the seams of the wooden house?"
Seeing Gu Siwei nodded solemnly, Guo Xiangping continued: "Why is it so troublesome to use a house? Just fill it with lime and hemp silk. Adding tung oil is a bit too much, and even if you add Tung oil may not necessarily last longer than lime and hemp silk, because the tung oil will still work even if it disappears over time."
"There is also this saying"
Gu Siwei felt that he knew a little more about life.
"If you think this is not good, I advise you to use lichen grass. After it dries, you add a little oil sludge. You can find the oil sludge in the ravine over there. It will still work if you fill the cracks in the wall. There is a point in the middle of the wood to keep out the wind."
Another old man smiled and gave another idea.
Liu Fulin clapped his hands and smiled after hearing this: "This is a good idea, it saves time and effort!"
After saying that, Liu Fulin saw Gu Siwei's puzzled face, so he smiled and said: "No one has used this method for a long time, so I didn't think of it for a while. It was used by the old mountaineers who used to build small cellars in the mountains. This method makes the sludge stick tightly, and it won't fall off as long as it's not too dry. It's almost meaningless to use in other places, but if you use it to twist wooden walls, it's really good. It doesn't rain too much here. "Sure, this thing can last for more than ten years. If it doesn't work after ten years, the worst thing is to twist it again."
"Okay, that's what I'll do." Gu Siwei accepted the suggestion immediately.
"You want to build a house?"
"It's not that I want to build a house, I just want to make a nest in the mountains," Gu Siwei said haha.
The old men didn't ask further questions. The old men actually wanted to know, but since Gu Siwei didn't say anything, they stopped asking.
After chatting for a few more words, Gu Siwei and the old men said goodbye and turned into the mountains. After checking that there was no one around, they prepared to jump forward.
As soon as he entered the space, Gu Siwei was a little dumbfounded.
"I'm going!"
Gu Siwei saw two huge mountains of meat in the space. He was startled and said something subconsciously.
"What the hell!"
After taking two steps back, Gu Siwei realized that the two small mountains of meat were two fishes. Only then did Gu remember that he had thrown the money carp he bought into space and forgotten about it.
"Why, he's grown so big!"
Gu Siwei was a little shocked.
But the two little roosters looked very leisurely, each patting their tails and making slight snapping sounds, as if they were singing in time.
Gu Siwei, who came back to his senses, began to observe.
The reason is easy to find. Gu Siwei originally placed the fish bucket in the space casually, but who would have thought that it would be placed next to the spring pond.
Lao Gu also didn't think of it for a while. Our carp can jump. Otherwise, why would we call it a carp leaping over the dragon's gate? No one calls it a turtle leaping over the dragon's gate, because a turtle can't jump.
The fish was definitely uncomfortable in the small bucket, and since it was a live fish, it naturally wanted to jump out and change places, so it jumped directly into the spring pond.
So the two small meat mountains had an unexpected encounter, and instantly grew into a full-fledged freshwater giant about two to three meters long.
"Hey, are you two going to become sperms?"
While observing this little meat mountain, Gu Siwei discovered that these two fish would actually react according to the distance between him and them.
When you are close to them, their tails will wag fast, and when you are far away from them, their tails will wag slowly, a bit like a puppy.
Gu Siwei, who became interested, walked over and knocked on the nearest big fish head. His fingers and the hard bones of the fish head made a clanking sound, which made Gu Siwei feel as if he was knocking on an iron plate.
After taking a closer look, I found that there is something different between the two guys. They used to look about the same, but now one of them has a red belly, a bright red, while the other has a red belly, but there are a few patterns on the belly. It's like small squares strung together diagonally.
Moo!
The two fish suddenly opened their mouths, and the whiskers around their mouths flew like tentacles. At the same time, a majestic cry like an ox spewed out of their mouths.
"I am!"
Gu Siwei couldn't believe his ears. He had grown so big. If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, others wouldn't have believed it. A fish could scream, and it still screamed like a cow.
Although the tone is a bit strange, if you listen to it suddenly, most people will really think it is a cow braying.
"You two bitches have really become sperms, haven't you?"
Gu Siwei was really unsure now, because there was no such example in the space knowledge he had acquired. It was easy to understand that whoever got such a magical treasure would throw two fish in and ignore it.
Gu Siwei really doesn't know if he's a mature fish or not, but looking at this look, Gu Siwei looks like him.
After staying with the fish for a while, Gu Siwei looked left and right, and even studied the eyes of the two fishes, but in the end he couldn't find anything.
Now it is impossible to say whether to eat or not. First of all, Gu Siwei is not short of fish. Secondly, if such a big fish killed Gu Siwei, he would probably have to eat it until next year.
Gu Siwei was a little unhappy with these two guys squatting in the space. He always used the space spring pool as a bathhouse. Gu Siwei felt that this was disrespectful to the space, so he thought about letting these two guys go when they got to the river. , As for whether these two guys will eat up all the small fish in the river in the future, Lao Gu has not thought about this yet.
When they arrived at the river, Gu Siwei poured out two small meat mountains.
"get out!"
Gu Siwei waved his hand at the two little meat mountains, then shook out the small raft in his space, preparing to board the raft to go to his paradise, Yinsong Cliff.
As soon as the raft entered the water, Gu Siwei jumped on the raft. As soon as his feet landed on the raft, he immediately felt the difference. Today's raft was very stable.
You must know that there is still a distance of tens of meters from here to the bottom of Yinsong Cliff. From this distance, you can get there easily by following the water flow.
But no matter how much effort is saved, the speed of the water flow is still insurmountable, so the raft will always shake a little, including the upper and lower rafts.
But today, I suddenly felt that I was no longer shaking when I got on the raft, so Gu Siwei naturally wanted to take a look.
Finally, when I lowered my head, I found that there was a big fish on both sides of the raft. Who else could it be if I didn't just throw out two small meatballs?
"I am so understanding of human nature."
This time Gu Siwei grinned happily.
Gu Siwei likes everything that he can use. Lao Gu is such a realistic person.
"Let's go over there!"
He tried to point his finger at the bottom of Yinquan Cliff. Before he could finish his words, two big fish pushed Gu Siwei's raft and swam towards the bottom of Yinsong Cliff.
"It's amazing!"
Gu Siwei is so happy.
