Traveling through ancient times to flee from famine, take the time and space gate with you

When the time comes, just add some grass and mud, align the gaps in the stones, build two walls, and leave a door and window.

In this way, you can fence the bottom of the rock, which is much safer than building a shed or adobe house outside.

Judging from the number of Yue people who came this time, they did not look like they were here to rob. Rather, they seemed to have come to attack Qiyang County. They probably wanted to take advantage of the disaster and the lack of food and grass in Qiyang County to capture it.

Qiyang County was occupied forty years ago. Later, Liu Gan, the general who conquered the west, drove these Yue people back outside the pass.

But now, General Liu has long been turned into a handful of loess, and the generals in the imperial court have increasingly no successors.

There are basically very few people who can fight now.

The few remaining ones are all guarding the border and cannot come to support this side.

Qiyang County only has 30,000 troops. If several tribes of Yue people unite and invade in large numbers, the place will not be able to be defended at all.

Therefore, Fang Youwei felt that their stay here would not be short.

After all, it is safer in the mountains. You have to rebuild your house when you return to the village, but it also depends on whether the Yue people will give you time to rebuild.

Maybe they were caught by the Yue people who came to search for them as soon as they returned. Now that they had just soaked in the water, the village must be in a mess, and there was no way to resist.

…

Mrs. Yang frowned and sighed while packing her things.

Fang Zhiyuan approached his grandma and asked, "Grandma, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

The old lady shook her head, touched her grandson's little head, and said lovingly: "Grandma is fine, you don't have to worry."

She couldn't tell her grandson that she was worried about her brother's family. There was no point in telling her. They couldn't protect themselves now.

My brother's family is in the town and I don't know if he can escape this disaster.

Those Yue people coming to fight must go to towns and counties, where the population is densely populated and commerce is prosperous. They will definitely go there to plunder and then occupy the county towns.

I hope my brother can be more vigilant and run out of the town when he sees something is wrong, so that he may still have a chance to survive.

Old Mrs. Yang is still thinking and worrying here, but Fang Youwei has already figured out how to build a house under the rock.

He came back and said to everyone: "We estimate that we will live here for a while. I didn't find a cave nearby, but I found a protruding rock.

The stone wall below it is in the shape of a triangle, so we only need to build two walls with stones below, and the remaining half of the gap on the side of the stone wall can be used as a door."

Several people became interested as soon as they heard this. Li asked: "How big is it under the rock? Is it big enough for us to live in?"

Fang Youwei replied: "It's almost fifteen feet square. You can put a big kang in it and sleep on it when the time comes."

Jiayin heard the new term and asked curiously: "What is a big Kang?"

Old Mrs. Yang held her in her arms and explained to her: "The big kang is a bed made of adobe bricks, with a flue underneath and a kang board on top. Once the fire is lit, the whole kang will be warm and the room will be warm.

Yes, sleeping on it is the most comfortable in winter..."

Seeing the good news, she seemed to understand it, but Mrs. Li smiled and said: "When we sit on the Kang, you will know it by watching."

Starting from the next day, except for Fang Youwei who went to look at the trap outside the col in the morning and brought back the prey, the others were busy taking off adobe and picking up stones.

Fang Youwei and Mr. Li took off the adobe, and Mrs. Yang took Fang Zhiyuan and Jiayin to pick up stones. They just picked out stones of similar size and put them aside.

After passing by, Youwei will use a cart to pull it to the rocky cliff.

I have been busy for more than ten days to get everything I need.

Fortunately, it has been sunny these days, and the adobe and kang boards have dried.

Fang Youwei dug the foundation along the line under the rock, and the excavated soil was just the right amount of grass and mud to use to build the stone.

Because there was only one person, it took two days just to dig the foundation.

After digging, these irregular stones are put together according to their size and shape with grass and mud to build a flat wall.

Jiayin watched in amazement, "Uncle, you are so amazing. You can't even tell from the outside. Those stones have all shapes. They are so smooth!"

Fang Youwei's little eyes that were admired by the good news were very useful, and he built the wall faster.

At the same time, he also said to Jiayin: "Those of us in the village have to build our own houses. Those whose families have a large population don't need help from others. A few houses can be built in a few days..."
