Chapter 7 Building Materials, Seafood
Dong Chenghu stood beside Gu Shuixiu and wiped the sweat from his head. He gasped from time to time. Looking at the endless sea in front of him, his mood became much more comfortable.
"Shuixiu, you have also seen it. It's the beach and the scenery is pretty good. If you get tired of staying at home in the future, you can come and relax. I will help you clean up this road immediately, so you can walk a little easier at that time."
The road down from the high slope was a bit steep. Dong Chenghu was worried about letting Gu Shuixiu go down, thinking about whether he wanted to chisel a stone staircase here or something.
Gu Shuixiu felt warm after hearing this, and then laughed, her eyes full of smiles.
"I'm not here to see the scenery. Haven't you ever thought about looking for food by the beach?"
Dong Chenghu was stunned and smiled honestly: "What's the delicious food on the beach? There is not a single roe deer. At most, there are a few hares, and it's hard to catch, so it takes time. I haven't been here for several years."
Gu Shuixiu was full of dark lines when she heard this, and she didn't talk to Dong Chenghu, and immediately looked at how to go.
Seeing that she was really going to the beach, Dong Chenghu had to pull a vine and tie the two together.
"It's safer. If you don't step on it, I can still pull you."
Gu Shuixiu felt a little moved, and she didn't dare to look at Dong Chenghu's face, so she responded angrily.
The two of them carefully went down the high slope, looked up, and Gu Shuixiu immediately took a breath of air conditioning.
"It's too high! We really got off from above just now?"
Dong Chenghu nodded, "It's really steep. Looking up from below, no one can see that there is a road above. If we want to come often, we may have to build a stone staircase."
Dong Chenghu's brows frowned slightly.
"It's okay. Let's not worry about these things for now. If the stone steps are built here, I'm afraid anyone can go up to our place. It will be unsafe at that time. Let's think of a solution later. I'll go and see what food is available."
Gu Shuixiu ran towards the beach happily, took off her straw sandals in front of Dong Chenghu and rolled up her trouser legs.
Dong Chenghu was stunned and wanted to stop him, but found that he was uncontrollably glanced at the two white lotus-like calfs.
Fortunately, there are no outsiders here.
Dong Chenghu thought about it, but he still rolled up his trouser legs and went down to help according to Gu Shuixiu's wishes.
"Shuixiu, do you think there is anything to eat here?" Dong Chenghu stared at the piles of seaweed on the beach, and had no idea how to start.
But Gu Shuixiu was extremely excited. Others didn't know, but she knew that there was nothing to eat and a kind of algae that she needed very much.
Immediately, I didn't bother to explain to Dong Chenghu, picked up the algae in the water and said excitedly to Dong Chenghu: "Chenghu, I will get as much water algae as I have, and I will just dry it at the beach. When it is dried, we can take it back to build a house."
"Okay, okay, it's good to build a house!" Dong Chenghu said whatever Gu Shuixiu said, and responded with a smile, then he looked stunned. Build a house? Use these grass?
Dong Chenghu really doesn’t understand. This grass is sticky and can’t be used even if it’s dried, right?
Before Dong Chenghu could ask about the confusion in his heart, Gu Shuixiu screamed again.
"Oh my God, there is still kelp here, and it is still natural and pollution-free. I want to take you all back."
Gu Shuixiu looked like a hungry wolf who saw the prey, which scared Dong Cheng so much that he swallowed his saliva. He swallowed the words back when he was at his mouth, and shut up and helped Gu Shuixiu fiddle with his fate.
From dawn to dark, the two finally filled the beach with seaweed. Among them were seaweed that Gu Shuixiu called for building a house, seaweed and other seaweeds that could be used.
In addition, Gu Shuixiu's basket also has many strange seafood, such as those black things that look like thorny balls. Gu Shuixiu said that this thing is delicious, and Dong Chenghu expressed deep suspicion. Although he knew that he should not doubt his wife, he just couldn't control his random thoughts.
Fortunately, there were no wild animals along the way from the beach to home, and it didn't matter even if it was dark.
After they got home, they were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs.
Gu Shuixiu quickly set fire to cook. Dinner was wild vegetables and prey that he had not finished eating in the morning, a plate of shampoo snails, and five or six raw sea urchins.
Seeing that Gu Shuixiu was eating with relish, Dong Chenghu tried to eat for a few bites. Then it was out of control, and most of the five or six sea urchins were in Dong Chenghu's stomach.
After the two of them were full, Dong Chenghu touched his stomach, burped, his face full of satisfaction, and said to Gu Shuixiu with emotion: "I haven't eaten such a comfortable hot meal for a long time. I'll get those wooden basins ready so that you can have a basin tomorrow."
He did it right away, and Dong Chenghu took advantage of the light of the bonfire and still carefully hooped the basin.
Gu Shuixiu packed up her things and sat next to Dong Chenghu and watched him work hard, but she was thinking about the things on the beach.
"Chenghu, if it hasn't rained these days, we can transport the seaweed back in three days, and then take it out and dry it. As for the seaweed I tell you that I can build a house, it's true.
If the seaweed is broken, a very sticky liquid will flow out. You should have seen it when you were dealing with it."
Dong Chenghu nodded in agreement, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, "You mean this sticky liquid can be used to build a house."
Gu Shuixiu nodded with a smile, and then said, "We put the dried seaweed in boiling water to boil, so that we can make the best use of these seaweeds, then go to the mountain to find some mud, make a turn model, use the water and mud from the seaweed to make bricks, and then make a simple kiln to burn bricks. Take your time, we can always build the house."
Dong Chenghu felt a hot heart when he heard this. He had already begun to imagine that if such a house was built, it would be the entire Qingping Mountain. Maybe even the people in Panlong Town would not be as grand as his family.
At this time, Dong Chenghu didn't think about why Gu Shuixiu knew so much. Maybe it was because of his heart's trust in Gu Shuixiu, or maybe it was because he knew that he didn't understand Gu Shuixiu, and was afraid that too many questions would make Gu Shuixiu unhappy. He hid all the questions in his heart. What Dong Chenghu thought was that as long as Gu Shuixiu was sincerely going to live a good life with him, it would be fine.
Dong Chenghu didn't ask in depth to Gu Shuixiu felt relieved. What she feared the most was to lie and make lies. If this continues, she felt that she would definitely be overwhelmed and mentally collapse.
On the second day, Dong Chenghu went hunting before dawn, while Gu Shuixiu cleaned up the wooden tub made by Dong Chenghu yesterday at home.
There are two large wooden basins, two small basins, four bamboo bowls, and four pairs of bamboo chopsticks. They have been polished and can be used directly.
