Chapter 289 Trouble Solving
After the meal, we rested for a while and then it was time to continue working.
The courtyard wall needs to be demolished! Demolish first and then rebuild!
However, we cannot demolish and rebuild everything at once. After all, we have to consider the actual situation.
There is no wall in this wild forest in the countryside, and I really don’t know what might sneak in in the middle of the night.
We first pushed down a section of the courtyard wall on the west side. The original courtyard wall was a rammed earth wall, so we smashed it with a hammer and continued to recycle it.
According to Ning Yuan's plan, the wooden stakes were first driven deep into the ground, and then patted tightly with yellow mud.
It’s actually very simple, and these educated youth got the hang of it very quickly.
By evening, the half-built wall was almost finished.
Solid, tall and thick round wooden stakes were driven into the ground. Although the parts exposed above the ground could not all be level, they were basically on the same level.
There is really no shortage of old trees in this area.
Just get some and cut them into wooden stakes of two to three meters in length.
By the time it got dark, Ning Yuan and his team had finished finishing this section of the courtyard wall.
The sturdy and tall new courtyard wall forms a sharp contrast with the short, dilapidated and bumpy old courtyard walls next to it.
But this only completes about one-eighth of the work.
Judging from the current progress, it will take at least half a month to replace all the walls.
After Ning Yuan and everyone checked it out, they found nothing wrong, so they started to wash themselves.
Everyone was covered in dust and mud, even Meng Qing and Xiao Ningwei.
Everyone was contributing, and Ning Yuan was very pleased. After all, there were no small groups here that excluded each other.
In fact, it is understandable. After all, this team already has a core from the beginning.
When there is only one core, there will naturally be no fighting or intrigue.
After a simple wash, Ning Yuan and his friends cooked a sumptuous dinner to reward everyone.
Originally, Zhang Shengnan and Meng Qing were still discussing whether this way of eating was not a good idea.
After all, what they had left were just the food rations for these educated youth, and they had given dozens of kilograms to those villagers in the morning.
When they asked Ning Yuan, Ning Yuan directly said that everyone could just eat as much as they wanted and he would figure out the food issue.
Zhang Shengnan originally had some concerns, but Meng Qing followed Ning Yuan all the way here from Sijiu City.
There is a subconscious identification and obedience towards this young man who is much more outstanding than his peers.
After persuading Zhang Shengnan, Meng Qing and the others did as Ning Yuan said.
As for Ning Yuan, although he asked the two girls not to be stingy, the objective facts were there and he still had to find a way to solve the problem.
There is indeed a lot of stored food and supplies in the space, but it is difficult to take them out without a suitable reason.
Ning Yuan returned to the house and after thinking for a while, he gradually came up with some ideas.
Secondly, hunting in the mountains must be put on the agenda soon.
In this era, there were a large number of wild animals in the Qinling Mountains.
Moreover, because of its southern geographical location in the subtropics, the species of animals and plants are more diverse than those in the large mountain ranges in the northeast!
The Northeast has already reached the point where people can catch roe deer with sticks, scoop fish with ladles, and even throw pheasants into the rice pot. How exaggerated can the Qinling Mountains be?
To be honest, Ning Yuan was also very curious.
In the next few days, the villagers did not come to yell at them again, so Ning Yuan and his men continued to cut down trees, demolish the courtyard wall, and then build a new wall every day.
After Ning Yuan and his team had completed more than half of the four walls of the yard, people from the county finally arrived.
It was naturally unlikely that Fan Lei and Zhang Desheng would come here in person, so the only one who came was Fan Lei's secretary.
But this is enough. Ning Yuan and this secretary had already met when they were in the logistics department.
This secretary came here on Fan Lei's orders, and he knew how much Fan Lei valued Ning Yuan.
So when Ning Yuan told him that he should make it clear to the villagers and stop interfering with their employment, the secretary hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
After all, the conditions proposed by Ning Yuan were not excessive. Although you don't have to go to work, they don't want your work points and subsequent food supply!
This time, after they came from the county, they also brought some food to Ningyuan.
After all, some of the rations of the female educated youth had been withheld before, so this time I might as well take them back as a favor!
After seeing off these people from the county, Ning Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
With this kind of thing happening, the people in the village don't have to bother with it anymore.
In the next few days, Ning Yuan focused on leading everyone to tear down and rebuild the remaining dilapidated courtyard walls.
On the eighteenth day after they arrived here, the courtyard wall was finally completed.
Although the yellow mud rammed earth of the last section of the courtyard wall has not been completely dried, it does not affect the beauty and safety of this neat courtyard wall at all.
After all, the row of thick wooden piles that are driven deep into the ground are the main force of the wall.
It was much safer now. Not only the female educated youth, but even the male educated youth like Ning Yuan, who thought they were brave, breathed a sigh of relief.
In the past ten days or so, there have been several waves of uninvited guests coming to their yard.
On the very night when people from the county came, two adult wild boars, along with a group of little wild boars, broke open the broken wooden door and rushed into the yard in a noisy manner.
The female educated youth were frightened and screamed, but fortunately the wooden house was built quite sturdily, so it was not invaded by several wild boars of different sizes.
The young man who lived in the adobe house in Ningyuan's family almost suffered a disaster.
That night, Wu Zhongguo and a few other brave but somewhat foolish people actually took kitchen knives, triangular scrapers and other tools and prepared to go out and fight with a few wild boars.
Ning Yuan saw that something was about to happen, so he stood up with a pistol in hand.
He aimed at a big wild boar leading the group and fired four or five shots before scaring the wild boars away.
It was really an eye-opener for Ning Yuan. All four shots hit the wild boar.
But the largest wild boar only bleeds a little, screams a few times, and then runs away from the gate of the yard with a few little wild boars.
After Wu Zhongguo and others came into the yard with their weapons, they actually looked regretful.
It’s a pity that I couldn’t leave one or two wild boars to improve everyone’s food.
After Ning Yuan gave these ungrateful guys a lecture, he cut several thick and tough wooden stakes overnight and reinstalled the gate.
Another time was the night before yesterday, when a leopard actually jumped directly in from the old courtyard wall that was finally demolished. After strolling around the yard, it jumped out calmly.
This time, the educated youth were even more frightened.
After all, although those wild boars look scary, as long as you remember that they are just animals that people often eat, you will feel less afraid.
On the contrary, they have a greater psychological fear of animals like leopards, which are real carnivorous beasts.
