Fearsome Farmer

If you draw a map of Li Siwen's territory, the location of the tree house is definitely the central heart of the territory, and it is also the commanding height of the entire territory. Even if the river was flooded last time, the height difference between the highest water level and here is about three meters. , which is very advantageous.

But such advantages are disadvantages for digging wells.

Walking about 50 meters south from the tree house is the five acres of farmland he has reclaimed, and walking another 50 meters east of the farmland is a lonely big tree surrounded by five people. For the time being, Li Siwen didn't cut it down. idea.

Now, with his hands behind his back, he keeps walking between the tree house and the farmland, observing and thinking, and finally decides to dig a well 20 meters away from the farmland, regardless of whether it can get water or not, as long as the strategic position is correct. it is good.

Inserting the steel shovel into this position, Li Siwen walked another 20 meters, and was still about ten meters away from the tree house.

"A brick kiln can be built here. If possible, the tree house has to be expanded to this location before winter comes. However, if the fired bricks are not combined with cement and reinforced concrete, the hardness is too poor, so I have to surround the tree house. Build a solid stone wall first."

"Well, it's useless to think too much, let's do it."

Li Siwen returned to the position of digging the well, wielding a fine steel shovel and digging violently. With his current strength of 24 points, holding the shovel is as easy as holding a toothpick. The shovel dug out can easily be thrown dozens of meters , That's why he can dig a five-meter-deep trench easily, which is really——excellent.

Hey, don't talk about it, it's easy to expose the demeanor of the king.

Digging a well actually requires skill. After Li Siwen dug four or five meters deep in one go, he didn't see any water, so he immediately climbed up, carried five ten-meter-long, thick logs, one by one. Smash it down, and then use shorter logs to tie them up horizontally to form a fence. He knows everything about preventing landslides.

Continuing to dig down, the shovel was swung extremely fast, and a shovel of soil was thrown out, and the depth was visible to the naked eye.

When they finally dug to a depth of seven or eight meters, mud appeared, and Li Siwen was relieved immediately. Can he say that he was a little panicked?

Of course not.

Without continuing to dig, he climbed up to the ground and went to the flooded valley to pick up two or three hundred catties of stones. He brought back dozens of stones in one go, threw some of them down, and then went down the well again.

He arranged the stones in a circle according to their general orientation, and then he said nothing. He dug in one session, from mud to mud, and then from mud to mud, until the big stones sank and the mud couldn't be dug out. There was muddy muddy water left, so he gave up, climbed up and threw the remaining big rocks down again, arranged them along the fallen logs, and a pristine well came out.

It took about five hours in total.

Consume 25 points of stamina, perfect.

After resting for an hour at noon, Li Siwen continued to carry stones from the flooded valley, throw them into the well, arrange them one by one along the surroundings, and drop more logs at the same time.

In short, there is nothing wrong with poor technology, and miracles can be achieved with great effort!

In the evening, a somewhat 'ugly' square well was successfully unveiled. Li Siwen then backfilled part of the soil, tamped it carefully, and everything was done.

Without time to be proud, Li Siwen began to study how to get water.

First of all, he must have a bucket, but the embarrassing thing is that he doesn't know the legendary bucket hoop skill, and if he wants to knead mud and burn it, he has to wait.

"Let's take a look at the well water first. If the water quality is acceptable, at least there is no need to collect dew."

Next, Li Siwen went to the farmland to weed and loosen the soil for the young seedlings while it was still dark. This was something that could not be slack, after all, it was the basic plan.

After weeding, it's time to catch grasshoppers, mice, birds' eggs, wild vegetables, and mosquitoes.

Whether or not he works hard in this link not only determines the richness of his dinner,

It is also an important source of his soul value at present.

At around ten o'clock in the evening, Li Siwen returned to the tree house and had a dinner that was not enough for him.

As for the dried fish and dried meat, they cannot be easily used. He only eats some dried meat and dried fish that are not perfectly dried in the morning and at noon.

And once the jerky and fish are well dried, he saves them for the winter.

So far, Li Siwen has stored a total of about 400 catties of dried wild boar/wolf meat, about 1,000 catties of dried fish, and about 50 catties of dried mushrooms. These are all important strategic reserves and must be counted every day. Check for mildew or imperfect drying.

During the day, they will light a fire stove, burn some roots, branches and leaves of anti-inflammatory grass, and smoke and roast these dried meat and fish.

This is mainly to prevent insects. After burning the branches, leaves and rhizomes of anti-inflammatory grass, there will be a unique bitter taste, which has a miraculous effect on mosquitoes.

In short, he would never allow his dried meat and fish to be eaten by bugs! !

In addition, lighting the stove during the day is also to get rid of the moisture in the tree house. After all, the tree house is newly built, and there was heavy rain a few days ago, so humidity is inevitable.

"So, after firing the bricks successfully, I have to fire more tiles to prevent the tree house from leaking, otherwise, if the rain leaks, no matter how well preserved the jerky is, it will become moldy!"

Li Siwen thought very seriously that it was a matter of food safety, so he couldn't help but go all out.

After carefully thinking about the development of the territory and possible gaps, he buried the kindling in the stove, closed the skylight, and extracted a little soul point.

This is what he does every night. The side effects of adding a little soul value are relatively small. If you accumulate it every day, you will soon be able to increase your soul development to 50%.

After some tossing, he quickly fell asleep.

Perhaps it was due to the improvement in the development of the soul, Li Siwen only slept for about five hours before waking up refreshed.

It is about four or five o'clock in the morning. He would get up at this time every day to collect dew, and today is no exception.

Because the well dug yesterday still needs to be clarified for a while, but there is no need to collect too much water in the well. It is estimated that the water in the well can be drunk at noon.

In addition, the process of collecting dew is also the process of Li Siwen patrolling the territory. By the way, he can also practice space judgment, so that he can come and go freely in the territory even with his eyes closed in the future.

In short, the right time, place, people and the three elements are now equal to mastering one of them.

As a routine, he first lit two fire stoves and threw in a handful of anti-inflammatory grass rhizomes. Then he carried a mountain axe on his back, took two empty water hyacinths and got out of the tree house to start collecting dew.

Almost an hour later, Li Siwen filled the two water hyacinths with dew. Just as he straightened up and was about to move his body, something suddenly flew up from the grass a few meters in front of him. Very quickly, his eyes just caught it. , that thing came to the front.

Subconsciously, Li Siwen took half a step back, sideways to get out of the way of his face, and at the same time he punched lightning, hitting the thing on the ground.

This set of reaction movements is smooth and smooth, which is the result of spatial judgment and stability talents.

But before Li Siwen had time to be proud, his fists felt a tingling pain.

"Fuck! Poisonous?"

Li Siwen was slightly startled, and then looked to the ground, and saw that it was a black bug with a length of only about 30 centimeters. It looked like a centipede, but it had a pair of wings. It was dark and ferocious.

This is something that has never been seen in his territory.
