rebirth of cataclysm
Chapter 523
Hu Mingchen walked along the path to the house, looked around, then looked in the window.
"Gan Quan, go and call them over, we are here. Qiao Wei, you and I go to the side of the house and move some stones to build stairs so that everyone can climb in through the windows." After looking around, Hu Mingchen made a decision
Decide on the division of labor.
Because we need to take shelter from the rain, there is really no other place around here except this house that is not yet completely completed.
The reason why we have to climb through the window is because the door is locked by the owner's house with an open lock. Unless it is broken, it cannot be opened. It is not fun to run into someone's new house without being greeted. How can we break it again?
Someone else's lock.
The area of this house is not large, there are only three rooms, one large room outside and two small rooms inside, with an area of about sixty or seventy square meters. The roof is not made of cement, but covered with tiles. Inside and outside
The exterior walls are still in their original rough shape, with no plaster, the floor is still made of dirt, and some scattered gravel has not been picked up and cleaned.
Hu Mingchen judged that the house should have been repaired for no more than three months, but why it was not completed is unknown. Perhaps the owner's funds were insufficient and he needed to wait a while.
Gan Quan called his classmates over. Hu Mingchen and Qiao Wei happened to have no one to move two large stones and build a simple stone staircase outside. Even so, if you want to climb in through the 1.5-meter-high window, it is difficult for you.
It is still not easy for many students. They need someone to help them outside and someone to pick them up inside.
Hu Mingchen was the tallest and most agile, so he was the first to climb in and then stood inside to meet the classmates who came in behind.
"Girls come first, boys come last. Also, Lu Yong, you take a few boys with you. Now find some firewood around. We're going to light a fire." Hu Mingchen stood beside the bed in the room and greeted.
"Hu Mingchen, the light rain is still falling, and there is no dry firewood around here. It's too wet to light." Lu Yong wiped his wet hair and said.
"It doesn't matter, you can burn it if it's wet, and it will dry out once you bake it. Go ahead, go ahead and find a way to find a few bundles to bring back." Hu Mingchen waved his hand.
Today's autumn outing was organized by Shangguan Wenqing, but now, the leadership of this organization has been inadvertently taken over by Hu Mingchen.
After Lu Yong led people to find firewood, with the help of several tall boys, Guo Qian, the literary and art committee member, was the first to climb up the window. At 1.5 meters, she was a little afraid to jump. Later, Hu Mingchen held her hand and helped her.
After buffering a lot of momentum, she jumped down safely.
"Everyone come one by one, don't be anxious." After Guo Qian entered, the classmates behind were a little anxious. After all, it was still raining. Hu Mingchen stood at the window and gave instructions, "Push your feet up. Boys don't grab girls' hands. Let's
They can pull up the window frame themselves."
Every girl who got on the window sill needed Hu Mingchen to pull or hold her before they dared to jump. Correspondingly, every girl who accepted Hu Mingchen's help was a little nervous. Hu Mingchen could feel that they were not the kind who were hurt by the cold.
Trembling caused by contraction.
For example, after fifteen girls came in, Hu Mingchen helped pull Zhou Lan onto the window sill. When she held Hu Mingchen's hand, she was too shy to look at Hu Mingchen. Moreover, Hu Mingchen held her right hand and helped her jump into the room.
At that time, Zhou Lan actually lost her balance and jumped into Hu Mingchen's arms. If she hadn't been hugged by Hu Mingchen, she would have fallen to the ground.
"Ouch, Zhou Lan, you guys can't do this. You're actually hugging each other. What do you look like?"
"Hu Mingchen didn't even hug us just now. This treatment is too bad."
"Boss, you have to hug me later, hehe."
This loss immediately aroused the laughter and ridicule of the classmates.
"I slipped, don't talk nonsense." Zhou Lan hurriedly got out and said shyly.
"Zhou Lan slipped. If you are not convinced, then whoever wants to hold her for a while can give her a hug once they all come in. It's true." Hu Mingchen joked with a smile.
Shangguan Wenqing performed well this time. As the squad leader, she did not go up first, but waited until the last one. All the other girls entered the room. With the help of two boys, she took Hu Mingchen's two
Turn your hands in.
After everyone entered the house, everyone began to deliver the items they had brought, as well as the potatoes Hu Mingchen bought and the borrowed lead kettle. With the help of seven or eight boys, Lu Yong also got two piles of firewood.
They were also relayed to the house.
It is much easier for boys to enter the house through the window than for girls. Some boys can climb in by themselves by stepping on the rocks without any help.
The students entered the room. Although they were no longer exposed to the wind and rain, the increasingly heavy drizzle did not turn them into drowned rats. Many of their clothes were soaked. Some girls stood in the corner and began to rub their hands.
Now, what Hu Mingchen and the others need most is a fire. Not only do they need fire to burn food and water to drink, but they also need fire to stay warm.
Hu Mingchen found a few drier sticks from the firewood collected by his classmates, broke them into small pieces, and built a small firewood shed.
"Hu Mingchen, can you burn this fire? It's impossible, you have to have something to ignite the fire." Li Linyu, the physics class representative said.
"Yes, boss, this firewood is not dry enough. It has been soaked by the light rain, otherwise it would be different." Sun Zhuangwu said.
"How do you know I can't light it?" As he spoke, Hu Mingchen opened the snakeskin bag containing the potatoes and poured out all the potatoes inside.
"Oh, I understand, Hu Mingchen, you are going to use this pocket to ignite the fire." Zhou Lan stood behind Hu Mingchen and said suddenly.
"Haha, it's smart, that's it. You guys should go inside to avoid it. There will be a bit of smelly smoke and a lot of smoke later." Hu Mingchen said with a smile.
Hu Mingchen took out his dagger, cut a hole in the snakeskin bag, tore it into strips and stuffed it under the woodshed. He then took out a lighter and lit the flammable snakeskin bag from below.
It crackled and burned.
Previously, Hu Mingchen asked the girls to stay away, but they were not very cooperative. When the snakeskin bag burned, and the pungent smell of burning plastic and black smoke came out, they all hurriedly moved out of the way.
If the weather is fine, a few strands of snakeskin bags can ignite the fire, but today the firewood has been soaked by the rain, and the entire snakeskin bag was burned before part of the firewood was finally dried and ignited.
"Who told you to touch my dagger? Put it down and give it back to me." Hu Mingchen blew a few sparks from his belly and got up. He saw Sun Zhuangwu playing with Hu Mingchen's dagger.
"Boss, this knife of yours is so handsome. Lend it to me to play with for a while." Sun Zhuangwu approached and said in a flattering manner.
Hu Mingchen took the dagger back in his hand and said: "Go away, you are just playing around. Is this something you can do by the way? You are so energetic, just crawl out, fill the lead pot with water and bring it back."
"It's really unlucky. If you don't want to play, you won't play. Why do you have to be a messenger to fetch water?" Sun Zhuangwu said depressedly.
"Hey, I asked you to play with me just now, but you refused. Fortunately, I didn't play with you, otherwise," He Longfu said with some gloating.
"Don't gloat about your misfortune. Don't you have nothing to do? Get down and blow on the fire. When the fire gets bigger, you can lead some people to the room inside and light a fire inside for everyone to roast." He Longfu hadn't laughed yet.
After that, Hu Mingchen assigned tasks to him.
Whether He Longfu was willing or not, he could only lie down and act as a bellows, blowing the fire even louder and louder with his mouth.
Hu Mingchen followed Sun Zhuangwu and turned out. He was not going to help Sun Zhuangwu fetch water. He was angry just now and had to clean himself up.
"Wow, the water here is so clear." Hu Mingchen admired as he squatted by the lake and poured a handful of water on his face, looking at the clear lake water.
The lake on the top of the mountain is not that big. It covers an area of 30,000 square meters. If you squat by the lake, you can see the one-meter-deep bottom of the lake in front of you.
The drizzle of rain hits the mirror-like surface of the lake, creating little ripples. Opposite there are two green peaks reflected in the center of the lake. From a distance, they look like a landscape painting rich in artistic conception.
This lake is called Summit Lake because it is located on the top of a mountain. No one can explain why such a clear and mysterious lake appeared on the top of the mountain.
So far, this place is not an attraction, and it is closed and has inconvenient transportation. Only on weekends, some people will come here occasionally.
In Hu Mingchen's impression, there was not much change here until he was reborn. There were two more houses by the lake for some city dwellers who came to have picnics and barbecues. And the house they occupied today seemed to still be there.
Not one of them.
If you have the money to buy this place, it will be a very good place. Even if it is not developed into a tourist attraction, it will definitely be very comfortable to build a villa by the lake.
"Boss, why are you staring at the lake stupidly? It's raining. Aren't you afraid of getting wet?" Sun Zhuangwu had filled up the water and walked back to see Hu Mingchen. When he saw Hu Mingchen still squatting there, he asked again
Come back.
"Oh, it's nothing. This lake is really clear, so take a closer look." Hu Mingchen quickly washed his hands and face again.
"It's a pity that it rained. Otherwise, we were collecting firewood just now and saw a small boat among the reeds in the inlet over there. If it hadn't rained, we could have pushed the small boat out for a row."
"Is there a boat?" Hu Mingchen didn't notice there was a boat in the lake, so he asked curiously.
"Yes, it can seat about ten people, at least six can sit." Sun Zhuangwu scratched his head and said.
"Haha, if there really is a boat, maybe everyone will be lucky today. You can carry the water back first and let them burn it. I'll go take a look." Hu Mingchen rolled his eyes, stood up and said with a smile.
Why did Hu Mingchen do this? He was thinking of fish.
Since there are small boats, it is probably because there are fish in the lake that someone has built a small boat and hidden it by the lake. The purpose is probably to catch fish in the lake.
Hu Mingchen walked in the direction pointed by Sun Zhuangwu and indeed saw a small wooden boat among a pile of reeds. This boat could not hold ten people, but as Sun Zhuangwu modified it, it could barely accommodate six people. Moreover, Hu Mingchen was still there.
A fishing basket for catching fish was found next to the boat.
