Chapter 349 Building a house for fellow villagers

2days ago Science fiction 6
The new bandits were completely confused. They watched Jin Lan and the others happily dig the silt in the river, then used the silt to make bricks, and then exchanged the number of bricks for bullets.

Only ten bricks can be exchanged for a bullet.

When they saw this, they didn't feel anything, but the moment Jin Lan and Zhang Yiheng got a bullet, their faces were filled with happy smiles. Ah!

Aren’t you all bandit leaders? Why is it so happy to get a bullet!Have you never seen the world?

As the people dug the river wider and wider, the riverbed was originally just a ditche formed by a small river diverted, but now the river is getting wider and wider, and it is almost going to become a big river.

Originally, refugees were worried that when the spring flood came, the canal would burst due to the elevation of the riverbed, which would definitely affect the crops.

And now they are not worried at all, and the spring flood is not worth fearing...

In the river, Jin Lan and others were loading bullets with a trousers and bullets were clattering in their pockets. The new bandits were frightened by this strange scene: Did these people fall down?

After Jin Lan finished the work he had at hand, he called the new bandits together and told them what they were going to do, what bricks could be exchanged for, and what long-term plans do they have in the future. For example, they plan to build ten small houses after the spring flood, and in the summer...

The bandit listened blankly, thinking that he was still a bandit?

Then Jin Lan talked about the highlight: Do you know who is in charge of this place? You think you are unlucky to be arrested, but I tell you that this is lucky.

While talking, Jin Lan talked endlessly. The bandits looked at Jin Lan, Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin, and their eyes gradually became confused.

At this time, there is no need to Ren Xiaosu to do anything. Jin Lan and Zhang Yiheng can settle everything for him. He and Yang Xiaojin can only use the initial action to reduce casualties.

Groups of bandits came over, and then came to join the army of burning bricks, digging mud during the day to make bricks, and practicing discipline at night, and living a life is extremely fulfilling...

The spring flood came as scheduled, and everyone could feel the water flowing in the ditches getting bigger and bigger, and they could often catch fish. Now the fish bites everyone. If it weren't for the large number of them, it would be difficult to deal with.

More and more firewood is accumulated on the shore, and there are also whole tree trunks that have been washed away by the upstream flood. The thin ones are used as firewood and the thick ones are used as beams.

The refugees in the settlement also helped them build some temporary houses for them to live in, as well as two small brick kilns.

The bandits helped the refugees dig canals and rivers, while the refugees rewarded their favors and helped them a little.

At this time, the refugees were no longer afraid of bandits, and they were like villagers in a small village.

A refugee found Ren Xiaosu and said: Brother, let’s start burning bricks, otherwise when the first rain starts, the bricks that have been made before will be ruined.

OK!Ren Xiaosu agreed that there were already a large piece of bricks at this time, which seemed to be enough to build more than ten houses.

Burning bricks is not a particularly difficult technical job. Put the bricks into the kiln, close the earth kiln door, and wait for adding firewood.

The bandit who knows how to add water to cool it down will naturally do it.

Bricks are divided into red bricks and blue bricks. This silt clay contains iron. After complete oxidation during firing, iron trioxide is formed, which is red bricks.

If the iron is not completely oxidized during the firing process, it is blue bricks.

The brick kiln built by Ren Xiaosu and the others has a kiln roof, which is not permeable to oxygen, so the fired is all blue bricks.

How many days does this brick have to be burned?Ren Xiaosu, the bandit who burned bricks.

Our kiln is small, and only more than 20,000 bricks are burned at a time. It is estimated that it will be burned in ten days. However, there is a time to cool down with water in the middle, and it will take 2 more days. The bandit explained: It takes nearly 2,000 bricks to build a house of more than 20 square meters, and there are more than ten rooms in this kiln.

The bandits were quite excited to think that they should live in a brick and stone house soon.

After all, most people here have never lived in brick houses in their entire lives. In the market town, brick houses are symbols of identity...

OK, Ren Xiaosu said to the refugees in the settlement: You can come and guard them. When the bricks are burned, you can build a few houses for you.

Jin Lan murmured in a low voice: Why do we burn bricks and build a house for them?

Ren Xiaosu glanced at him: Stop talking nonsense.

Jin Lan ran away with her head down. He called on her brothers to make more bricks before the rainy season came. Now there are more than 400 bandits on their side, so it’s so fast to work!

But just a few days later, it became cloudy. Now Jin Lan and Zhang Yiheng felt so distressed: Hurry up, hurry up, rescue the bricks with me, and carry all the dried bricks to the dirt house!

About halfway through the rescue, the drizzle covered the entire wasteland like cotton cloth.

Unlucky, Jin Lan hid under the eaves and said: It’s not too early or late, but it’s time to go down.

Captain, can we go into the house to shelter from the rain? A bandit murmured in a low voice.

At this time, the house was piled with bricks, and no one could settle down. Jin Lan glared at the sight of this: You went in to shelter from the rain, where did the bricks be placed?!These are all bricks that everyone has worked hard to press. Can they be wasted?

The bandits pursed their mouths, now this is worse than a brick...

A large group of people squatting outside a pile of dirt houses were wet in the rain, guarding the bricks inside...

Jin Lan muttered: My brother also wants to build a house for those refugees. I don’t know what to do. We brothers are not enough to live in.

What the captain, are you blaming your elder brother Ah?Someone whispered.

I didn't complain, Jin Lan curled her lips: I can see that those two are indeed different from the big people in the barriers. Those big people look down on us from the bottom of their hearts. These two are not. Have you seen a big person in the consortium who can dig mud in the river like us?Now I am convinced by the couple from the bottom of my heart, and I am willing to work with us.

What do you mean by Captain?

I just think it's not worth it. Why can those refugees live in a house without pressing a brick? Jin Lan cursed.

The brick kiln was built by someone, and someone muttered in a low voice.

Jin Lan glared at him: You just talk too much.

However, at this moment, many refugees came in the rain and shouted at Jin Lan: Don’t get wet here, go to our house to take shelter from the rain. We have discussed it. You can go to any house you want to take shelter from the rain, and there must be enough places.There is also some hot soup at home, so you can drink some warm up your body.

Jin Lan was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said: Oh, okay, come here!

A bandit beside him whispered: Captain, aren’t we still angry about building a house?

Who said I was angry?Jin Lan stammered her neck: My fellow villagers are so kind to us, what's wrong with building a few houses for them?We need to have the same pattern as our elder brother, do you know, be more generous!The rain stopped building a house for the fellow villagers!
