Chapter 94 The Beam on the Wooden House
The matter of cutting down trees is also the first thing Lin Baihua has to do to refresh everyone’s impression.
At first, I thought that Lin Baihua came from the island and had a fisherman family, and it was understandable that it was better to dive. Lin Baihua was not a very arrogant person. Compared to Su Yueya liked to arrange work and check order for everyone, Lin Baihua often only said such a critical sentence when she spoke.
She did not object to the plan to build a wooden house. She just picked up the axe silently when cutting down the tree, walked to a tree and waved the axe. The places where she dropped the axe fell accurately at the same few points. But she did not keep cutting until the tree was broken, but cut a few times. After the axe fell to a depth, she changed direction.
The whole tree was cut into a sharp point like a pencil. Lin Baihua stopped, looked up slightly at the top of the tree and the surrounding trees, found the angle, and fell the last few axes.
This process did not take a long time. When Lin Baihua put down the axe in her hand, the tree that was hugging wide made a crackling sound and slowly fell in the direction Lin Baihua was looking at.
"So that's the case. There's no need to cut to the end." Zhao Qianyu kept watching Lin Baihua's movements.
Lin Baihua patted the dust on her hands: "Your chopping method has not hit you until today, it's amazing."
Zhao Qianyu smiled bitterly, not knowing whether her words were mocking or sincere.
After all, they have always used brute force to cut the tree to the end, and occasionally there will be cases where the axe is stuck in the tree and cannot be pulled out.
Because of Lin Baihua, the progress of cutting trees and logging has been greatly improved. We soon accumulated enough wood and materials needed. Wu Zihao's plan will soon enter the second half of the construction.
The little completion of the wooden house is simply the most important thing on the island. Every day, everyone is concerned about the progress of the wooden house. Wu Zihao naturally became a very important figure.
"Designer Wu, see if this piece of wood is OK." Even Zhao Qianyu was joking about Wu Zihao, "Does we have to put on the beam next?"
Wu Zihao looked around the tree. It was a tree cut off by Lin Baihua. A whole tree grew straight and had no shortcomings. It was thick and thin, and it was enough to be long. I really couldn't find any mistakes. Wu Zihao nodded: "It is said that putting on the beam is an important thing. Should we hold a ceremony or something?"
"What kind of ritual do you want to hold?" Su Yueya was not interested in Wu Zihao's proposal. Although she knew that many things had traditional rituals, there was no need to do this on the island. After all, resources were tight.
Li Moxian originally agreed with Wu Zihao's statement, but before she spoke, Su Yueya spoke first. After Su Yueya finished speaking, Li Moxian felt that it was not very appropriate for her to speak again, so she swallowed her opinions back.
Mi Xueling sat aside and saw Li Moxian's feeling of being reluctant to speak, so she spoke for her and said, "Is the ceremony different in every place?"
"Ah?" Wu Zihao didn't expect this, "This...uh, isn't it just burning incense and sticking a talisman?"
Zhao Qianyu raised his hand and gave Wu Zihao: "Every place is different. We also want to kill chickens, sacrifice, draw talismans on the beams with rooster blood, and ask someone to recite scriptures... Well, this set is really too complicated."
Su Yueya nodded: "Well. You can't do any step. Where can you turn me into a rooster and recite scriptures."
After being criticized by Su Yueya, Wu Zihao became a little emotional and wanted to say something stubbornly: "It is an important thing to go up the beam, and it may affect the safety of the house in the future."
"If the house is not safe, it is a quality issue. The quality issue is either that we built the house poorly, or that is because there is something wrong with your drawings." Su Yueya is not a good person either. The more Wu Zihao is, the more she wants to fight back.
Seeing the two people's smell of being stronger and stronger, Michelle hurriedly squeezed in to smooth things over: "Lin Baihua, do you have any questions? After all, it's on the island. Let's see if there is any place to refer to?"
Lin Baihua, who had been silently rubbing the vine rope next to her, was suddenly named by Mi Xueling, and looked up calmly at Wu Zihao: "It's nothing. Do whatever you want."
The temperature difference between her and Su Yueya made Wu Zihao even more angry. The more Lin Baihua didn't say it, the more Wu Zihao asked her to speak.
Unable to resist Wu Zihao's entanglement, Lin Baihua wiped the dust on his hands: "We want a seabird, a pheasant, two sea fish, and a handful of shells. Red rope tied to beams and colorful satin hanging doors. There is a music of blowing and drums when entering, and a sound of silk strings falling."
Wu Zihao stopped talking.
This requirement is too high. Why do you need shrimp and fish, and what music is needed? Could he come to the side and play a flute?
I thought this topic was pressed by Lin Baihua.
Zhao Qianyu's mind turned around: "There are still rituals. There are so many things on the island that can do. How can you girls say that, life should have a sense of ritual."
After he said this, he was almost dug into pieces by several girls with their eyes.
Zhao Qianyu's plan is actually not complicated. The red rope is not easy to do, but there are red berries on the island, which are not delicious fruits anyway. Use it to dye the vine branches and hit them onto the beams, which is also a symbolic festive celebration. The rest is to hold some music programs, which can be regarded as a night for everyone to relax in so long.
Wu Zihao did not object, and he hadn't sang for a long time.
So the plan to go up the beam was determined. The time was set on the next day. When the sun just came out, Lin Baihua pulled everyone up.
She rarely disturbs others on the initiative, and the reason she pulls everyone up is because Zhao Qianyu said that she can do whatever rules she has. So Lin Baihua started: "You must go up the beam within an hour after sunrise. Remember to step out of the threshold first with your right foot."
Lin Baihua said it seriously, and the others listened seriously. It was just such a detail that it seemed that the sense of ceremony had indeed come out.
Only then did Zhao Qianyu realize that the existence of a sense of ritual is not about meeting any rules, but about giving himself a condition to live out some different feelings on the same days every day.
Lin Baihua used a broken branch to beat each person a few times, saying that this was a replacement for mugwort leaves to ward off evil spirits. The beam was originally a man's job, but there were only a few people on the island, and the beams were extremely heavy and everyone needed to do it together, so the girls combed their hair and participated in the beams together.
