Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

The foundation of a rural earth house is very simple. Dig a trench 50 cm wide and 50 cm deep, and then lay stones vertically in it.

It is similar to putting your palm vertically. One advantage of laying stones in this way is that it can drain water.

The main function of the foundation is waterproof. The earth wall is most afraid of water. The base of the wall needs to be built with stones, and then the wall can be built with yellow mud.

The stones for building the wall are everywhere on the mountain behind. Just take a backpack and carry them up. Even if there are no more, find a steel drill and hammer and dig the mountain directly.

Lin Heng's family still uses pottery tiles to build houses. In the past, they used bluestone slabs to build houses. They were all cut out from the mountains and asked people to carry them piece by piece.

Rural people are all hard workers with very good physical strength, otherwise there would not be so many migrant workers.

After starting to work, no one was lazy. Eight people dug out the foundations of two houses in two hours.

"Come and help dig this fish pond too."

Liang, the carpenter, was responsible for the foundation work here. When he saw that the foundation was dug, he asked someone to come and help Lin Heng dig the fish pond.

"Lin Heng, is this the fish pond you built?" Li Caifeng's husband, Yang Zhaotao, looked at Lin Heng and asked with a smile.

"Yes, I built a fish pond for fun." Lin Heng nodded with a smile.

"As expected, you are a cultured person, and you build different things." Yang Zhaotao said with some sarcasm. In his opinion, building this thing is a waste of space.

"That's right, Lin Heng, you should build a house in the back like your elder brother, so that you can live in it when you have children in the future. What's the point of building a fish pond?"

Uncle Wang persuaded. In his opinion, Lin Heng didn't know what was wrong with his brain, and what kind of fish pond was built.

Some other people also thought that the fish pond was unnecessary, and it would be best if the house was bigger. One hundred square meters is too small in the countryside.

"It's okay, I just like small ones." Lin Heng smiled and didn't listen to the advice.

These people all wanted to live in a house for a lifetime, but Lin Heng only regarded this house as a transition. He didn't need to consider it too big. Exquisite and small was his plan.

After that, decorate the house well. Living in a mud house will feel different.

"If the owner doesn't want to do anything, don't worry about it. Three people can dig the fish pond, and the rest can help move the stones." Carpenter Liang smiled and helped Lin Heng out of the dilemma.

It's lively and fast when there are many people working. The fish pond was done in an hour. There are fewer stones underground, so it's quick to dig.

On the other side, the people moving stones have piled up several hills of stones.

"Okay, it's almost done. Just leave two or three people to help move the stones, and the others can help lay the foundation." Father Lin put down a basket of stones on his back and looked at everyone and said.

Today, all the people called have done house building work, so laying stones is no problem. Lin Heng helped pass the stones and watched his second uncle lay them.

At lunch time, more than half of the foundation had been laid, and it would be almost completed in the afternoon.

At lunch, three tables were seated at home. When everyone saw the badger meat on the table, they couldn't help but exclaimed: "Badger meat, did you buy it or hunt it?"

Father Lin smiled and pointed at Lin Heng and said: "My second son hunted it the night before yesterday."

Then he briefly told the story.

"Do you really know how to hunt? Did you really hunt the rabbit that day?" Uncle Wang was the first to look at Lin Heng. He couldn't believe that Lin Heng could hunt a badger.

The villagers also had a curious look. The second-rate son of the Lin family knew how to hunt?

Did the sun rise from the west?

"Lin Heng, show us, is your bow and arrow really that accurate? I don't believe it, could it be that you picked it up from others?"

Yang Zhaotao couldn't believe it.

Because he also learned to hunt like others, but the harvest was very few, and he could only rely on traps to harvest some small prey such as squirrels, rabbits, and grouse.

And the second-rate Lin Heng, who was famous for his idleness, could actually hunt a badger. He couldn't accept it and spoke very bluntly.

Hearing someone start, the other people in the village immediately followed suit.

"Lin Heng, show us, bow and arrow hunting is amazing!"

"Yes, let me learn something!"

Everyone was talking at the same time, not giving Lin Heng a chance to speak.

Lin Heng was quite helpless, but he also knew that there would always be a day when this would be exposed, so he took the bow and arrow out of the house.

"Is this wooden block okay?"

Yang Zhaotao smiled and put a wooden block outside the gate of the yard, more than 30 meters away from Lin Heng.

It was obvious that he wanted to make it a little difficult for Lin Heng, to kill his prestige and do something bad in secret.

"If you can shoot this, I admire you!"

Yang Zhaotao laughed.

Others also looked over, waiting for Lin Heng to make a move, and they didn't even eat.

Lin's father, Lin's mother, Xiulan and others were all worried for Lin Heng. If he didn't shoot, he would definitely be laughed at in the village in the future.

In his heart, he secretly blamed Yang Zhaotao. This guy was too mean. He set the target so far away.

After exhaling, Lin Heng picked up the bow and arrow and said with a smile: "Then let's treat it as a feast for everyone."

As he said that, he shot an arrow and accurately hit the wooden block thirty meters away.

With a bang, the expressions on everyone's faces froze, staring at Lin Heng. He aimed at more than thirty meters for less than two seconds and shot an arrow. This skill is amazing.

"Awesome!"

"Great skill! No wonder you can hit the hog badger!"

"Hey, this archery skill would be a great general in ancient times."

Everyone was shocked by Lin Heng's accuracy in archery. They cheered continuously and their eyes changed. They were no longer as carefree as before.

Especially Yang Zhaotao and Uncle Wang, the expressions on their faces were even more wonderful. Lin Heng's archery accuracy exceeded their expectations.

"Just kidding, I was lucky this time."

Lin Heng smiled and turned around to put the bow and arrow in the bedroom.

He felt that he had a talent for aiming. He had been very accurate with slingshots since he was a child, and he learned bows and arrows very quickly in his previous life.

"Great!" When Lin Heng returned to the table, his eldest brother Lin Yue couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

Lin's mother and father also looked a little relieved. Lin Heng had made them worry so much, and finally he gave them a sigh of relief.

Perhaps, this time he really changed his ways and turned back!

Everyone in the family thought so, because Lin Heng did a lot of things at home in the past eight days.

Even if I said I had changed my ways before, I just stayed at home and didn't go out, not like this time, making money everywhere.

It can be said that in these eight days, the living standards of the Lin family have improved to a higher level. They can eat meat every day, and everyone has become a little fatter.

Even Liu Juan, the eldest sister-in-law who used to hate Lin Heng, had to admit that all this was caused by Lin Heng.
