Chapter 1550: Reinforce the Camp

Faced with this situation, the wild wolf finally felt scared, and without any hesitation, he rushed back and disappeared into the night in just a few seconds.

Looking at the deep night, the young man did not dare to act rashly. He was secretly disappointed and thought to himself that he was not more ruthless.

However, this also made him discover that the wild wolves in this mountain forest did not seem to be very big, almost the same as dogs.

Generally speaking, a normal wolf should weigh more than 100 꿭 and is so large that even an ax on his head won't have much effect.

But the wild wolf just now would never weigh more than 50 꿭, only about 3 or 4 굛꿭 at most. It was a relatively small species, otherwise it would not have been able to kill him so easily.

If it were another type of wild wolf that was larger in size, he probably wouldn't be able to fight it today, which made the young man secretly glad.

At the same time, what happened this time also reminded him that there should be large predators in the surrounding area, which was far less safe than he originally thought.

In order to ensure that he will not be attacked at night in the future, he must make some preparations in advance to make the area where he lives safer, at least to ensure that even if other predators approach at night, he can react immediately and take action. Fight back.

On the one hand, some large traps need to be made and placed outside the camp to prevent wild beasts from approaching.

On the other hand, some reminder tools should also be made, such as bells made from bamboo slices, which can remind him when a wild animal is approaching.

So he stopped sleeping and started making arrangements under the light. However, neither bamboo bells nor large traps were suitable for making at night.

Therefore, he planned to make a stronger fence first to protect the area where he was.

During this period of time, he also discovered a lot of bamboos one after another and cut some down. Now that he couldn't sleep, he began to split the bamboos into two or three centimeters thick. Bamboo slices.

And also cut some bamboo silk, which can be used as thread or rope.

I have to say that bamboo is very large and can be used as weapons, building materials, ropes, and weaving furniture. It is simply a perfect material.

The young man chopped the bamboo into bamboo slices, then inserted them around the camp, criss-crossed and woven them together to form a circle of fence, completely enclosing his own shelter, vegetable plot and living area.

After these days of operation and construction, he has built the surrounding area of ​​more than 30 square meters into a clean and complete camp, without any weeds or rocks, and it is all flat land.

Now surrounded by fences, it seems to have added a lot of life, not like living in the wild, but more like a small farm.

By the way, he also left a door in the fence to facilitate his usual entry and exit.

By the time he finished all this, it was already dawning, and the young man didn't take much rest. He simply took a bite of food and hurried out to look for materials.

The shelter has almost been built, and the main body has been connected together by mortise and tenon structures. Now only the roof and surrounding walls need to be filled in. This strong shelter can be used for a long time.

Therefore, his main task recently is to collect more wood of consistent thickness and length, conduct carbonization treatment uniformly, and then fill the entire main body of the shelter.

As for food, he planned to stop first because he had already accumulated a lot of food.

For example, the bean pods have a diameter of 5cm and a depth of 15cm. He collected several buckets of them in bamboo tubes and stuffed them so full that he could eat them for a long time.

It's not that he doesn't want to continue collecting, it's just that the pods are almost gone. If he wants to continue collecting, he has to go further.

As for making starch from rhizomes, he filled 23 bamboo tubes in the same tube, which was full.

According to his food intake, the food intake per day is actually one to two bamboo tubes, generally speaking, it is one and a half bamboo tubes, so these can be eaten for a long time.

A lot of wild fruits have also been stored, and it seems that it is approaching autumn. The fruits have become more mature and sweet.

Now that food is stable, he plans to focus more on building a shelter and complete it as quickly as possible.

Because he observed the recent weather and found that it was close to autumn, which also meant that the world also experienced changes in spring, summer, and autumn, and it was likely to usher in a cold season.

Today's weather is close to 0 degrees at night. Once the cold season arrives, the temperature will inevitably be even lower. Without a shelter that is warm enough, it is absolutely impossible for him to continue living.

Therefore, the progress of the shelter must be accelerated.

For almost a whole day, I have been collecting wood, carbonizing it, and then using mortise and tenon to build the structure.

There were many difficulties encountered during the process, and a lot of materials were wasted. It took almost 15 days to build the entire shelter.

The volume is not very large, only about eight square meters. It can just fit a fireplace and a small bed, and the remaining area can be used to store items.

The young man also reserved a special place for the chimney and fireplace. The night here is too cold, so keeping warm is a must.

However, when the main body is completely constructed, there is another big project that needs to be completed, which is the construction process of the fireplace. It cannot just use wood, it must be glued.

But fortunately, there are a lot of yellow tacks in the stream next to the camp.

Yellow tacks, plus plant ash, plus dried hay segments, are combined to form a material with high viscosity, which can be used to make fireplaces, effectively preventing the house from being burned directly.

The fireplace made of this tack is yellow in color after drying. Although there are some cracks, it is still strong and the smoke exhaust effect is also very good. It is definitely a great success.

In order to further improve the safety and cold-proof effect of the entire shelter, the young man made more tacks and then filled them in the gaps of the main body of the house, including the walls and roof.

The walls are filled with more, and almost all the wood is covered with a layer, which can prevent burning and can also effectively keep warm.

The roof is not covered much, just a layer of filling, because the bottom is waterproof, so it effectively prevents rainwater from penetrating.

Because the roof is covered with many layers of dried hay, which has been accumulated recently, dried in the sun, and finally tied with bamboo strips, and laid on the roof layer by layer, similar to thatch.
