- Chapter 436: How to cut ice
The ice cave is only more than two meters away from the shore and is as deep as half a person. Normally, it would not be a problem for a female clouded leopard. But the temperature today is around freezing, so you can imagine what it would be like to fall into the cold ice water.
This guy tried to climb up the ice, but as soon as his paws touched the edge of the hole, the thin layer of ice began to shatter.
The grass leopard was caught off guard and fell into the water again. Several times in a row, it probably drank a lot of water, and its movements became slower and slower.
At this time, Liu Junhao finally woke up from his surprise. He couldn't delay any longer, otherwise the clouded leopard would probably drown if he struggled for another two minutes. He hurriedly ran to the opposite side of the puddle.
Of course, Liu Junhao was not stupid enough to jump into the ice water to save the clouded leopard. Instead, he grabbed a big rock from the shore and smashed it on the ice.
With a "click" sound, all the thin ice within a few meters was shattered, and then he grabbed a branch next to him and stretched it out. The clouded leopard was smart and immediately opened its mouth and bit the other end of the branch.
The desire to survive caused it to struggle hard in the water. When it climbed ashore, it was already dying. Its wet body lay limply on the ground, looking exhausted.
Seeing that the clouded leopard¡¯s belly was bulging, it was obvious that he had drank a lot of ice water. Liu Junhao did not dare to delay any longer and quickly asked everyone to light a fire to dry its fur, otherwise this guy would freeze to death.
Fortunately, there was no shortage of firewood at the foot of the mountain, and everyone who reacted immediately went to the grass to pull out wormwood. At this time, the roots of the wormwood are rotten and can be easily pulled out. With almost no effort, they had pulled out a whole bunch of them.
It rained heavily yesterday and the wormwood was so wet that it was impossible to light it. But this is not a problem for Liu Junhao. He has lived in Liujiagou since he was a child, so he naturally knows where to find firewood. I turned around and took a few glances, and quickly found a few handfuls of dry stutter grass under some rocks.
After seeing the wind, Liu Junhao lit the stuttering grass with a lighter. When the flames grew bigger, he carefully picked up some wormwood leaves and added them.
When the fire was completely ignited, he asked everyone to cover it with wormwood.
Soon the raging smoke shot straight into the sky, leaving a clear column of smoke in the sky.
Although the weather was gloomy at this time, the smoke was still discovered by the villagers. Liu Guangju thought there was a fire on the mountain, so he hurried over with his men.
When he heard what had just happened here, Liu Guangju also admired him and said that the fox had become a spirit.
The grass leopard was a little afraid of fire and didn't dare to move forward at all This guy must have drank a lot of ice water, and the hot and cold stimulation was naturally uncomfortable. As soon as he stood up tremblingly, he vomited a lot on the ground.
After struggling for a long time, the clouded leopard barely had the strength to stand up, so it was naturally impossible to take pictures.
Liu Junhao was also afraid that it would cause problems if it continued to stay in the wild, so he simply reached out to pick up the clouded leopard and let several cubs follow him home. The female clouded leopard's body only weighs a few dozen kilograms, so it doesn't take much effort to hold it up.
"What happened to the clouded leopard?" Zhang Qian asked in surprise. He didn't expect that his husband would bring the clouded leopard back when he went out.
¡°It¡¯s nothing, I just fell into the water.¡± Liu Junhao sent Clouded Leopard upstairs, and then briefly told his wife what had just happened.
"I knew a clouded leopard couldn't beat a fox, it's so cunning" At this moment, Zhang Qian became aware of it, as if she had been optimistic about Cao Lizi a long time ago.
Liu Junhao didn't have time to listen to his wife's show off. He always paid attention to the movements of the grass leopard, for fear that this guy would suffer sequelae.
Fortunately, the grass leopard was stronger than he thought. After half a day and a night's rest, he appeared in the courtyard early the next morning with several leopard cubs.
After three days of gloomy weather, the weather finally cleared up.
The ice on the ground, under the eaves, and on the tops of trees began to melt rapidly. Within half a day, there were puddles of water on the ground.
Liu Junhao was afraid that his wife would slip while walking in the courtyard, so he had shoveled all the ice on the ground, so there were not many puddles in his courtyard. Liu Guangju specially asked someone to cover the dirt road in front of his door with sand. After the ice water melted, it was completely immersed in the sand. It had become semi-dry in half a day.
The ice on the ground had just melted, and just when everyone thought the weather was getting warmer, heavy snow started to fall.
The weather forecast for heavy snowfall has been on and off for a whole week. Heavy snowfall has spread across the country. This weather will continue for at least half a month.
It was even colder at night, with the temperature dropping to several degrees below zero. The snow that fell on the ground was okay. Liu Junhao quickly shoveled it away and then spread a thin layer of sand on the ground. Naturally, it did not freeze. However, the thin ice in the ditch had not melted in the first place, and the snowflakes that had fallen on it for the past few days had no time to melt.It quickly solidified into a layer of ice, which became more than ten centimeters thick within a few days.
Now Liu Junhao is completely busy. When he gets up every day, he first has to clear the snow in the yard, and then he has to go to the ditch to break the ice to make it easier for the water birds to eat.
He once took a peek at the stone lock, but he didn't expect that there was also a thin layer of ice in the stone lock. Liu Junhao felt it was new. It was the first time he saw ice forming in the stone locks.
But if you think about it, you can understand that the temperature in the stone lock is generally a few degrees higher than the outside. It's now several degrees below zero outside, so the temperature inside the stone lock certainly can't be high.
The pond where the spring is located has not frozen and is still flowing out continuously.
Liu Junhao deliberately touched the temperature in the pond with his hand. It was cold on the edge, but a little hot near the spring. It was no different from a geothermal hot spring.
He couldn¡¯t help but take off his clothes and soak in it for half an hour. When he got up from the spring water, he felt very comfortable and his skin became a little more delicate.
There are so many benefits of this spring water. It¡¯s a pity that I can¡¯t bring my wife in to soak in the hot spring together. But Liu Junhao had an idea. When his wife asked her to boil water for a bath at night, he was too lazy to save trouble, so he directly poured several large basins of spring water into the bathtub. Zhang Qian also expressed her feeling of relief after taking a bath, and even said that taking a hot bath in winter is very good.
Liu Junhao had just finished cleaning the yard in the morning and was picking up his shovel to break the ice outside the yard when he found Professor Zhao standing by the pit busy driving. This old man has nothing to do all day long. He comes to help every time he breaks the ice, just for exercise.
Liu Junhao screamed, grabbed the shovel and smashed it down. As a result, there was only a white mark on the ice, not even a crack.
"Damn, it's so thick." He didn't believe it and hit it hard with the shovel. His arms were numb from the shock, but the ice was still intact.
"Haha, I tried it just now, I guess today's ice cream is not easy to beat." Mr. Zhao shook his head with a smile.
"It's so thick, it should be able to occupy people, right?" Liu Junhao tentatively put a foot on the ice: he didn't hear the click of the ice, and then he boldly put his feet on it. Sure enough, there is no problem.
Liu Junhao¡¯s childishness increased greatly. He hit the ice with a shovel and his feet slid more than three meters on the ice.
"It's really possible." Mr. Zhao was also a little moved and tentatively stepped onto the ice. He didn't dare to learn how to skate like Liu Junhao, so he just walked carefully on it.
No matter how heavy the snow is, the ice surface is bare and there are no obstructions, making it very suitable for skating. Liu Junhao became more and more excited as he skated, and he didn't even know when his wife would walk out of the door.
"Zhizhi" Wukong saw that his master was having a great time and couldn't help but jump on the ice. The guy shuddered as soon as his paws touched the ice, then hurriedly jumped to the shore and tightened the white scarf on his shoulders.
A few days ago, Zhang Qian saw that it was getting cold, so she got some wool to make a new scarf for her husband. Unexpectedly, monkeys saw it and rushed to get it. Seeing that there was still a lot of yarn left, she simply gave Wukong a pocket version. Unexpectedly, as soon as this guy put it on his neck, he immediately started to show off, spending all day in front of the mirror. Zhang Qian also took a lot of photo albums for the monkey.
"Quack" The group of green villagers were originally waiting for their master to break the ice on the shore. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time without any movement, they began to make an anxious noise.
Hearing the Qingzhuang people croaking and screaming around them, Liu Junhao thought about breaking the ice.
"What should we do?" Professor Zhao tried to pick up a stone and throw it down, but the ice surface remained motionless.
"It's useless. The ice is almost twenty centimeters deep. We need to find an iron drill." Liu Junhao thought about it and said.
"Iron drill?" Professor Zhao didn't know what he was looking for.
"Use an iron drill to drill holes in the ice, and then insert wooden sticks into it to dig. The iron drill is what we use when we build houses and lay foundations"
This method of cutting ice was common when Liu Junhao was a child, mainly used to net fish.
It was a big scene at that time. All the men, women and children in the village were standing by the weir and pond waiting to pick up fish. Before cutting the ice, place a few door panels on the ice. This is mainly to prevent the ice from suddenly bursting and people falling into the water.
After the position is fixed, a few sticks work on the door panel. One person held the iron drill while the others used sledgehammers and smashed it down until they broke through the ice.
After digging four or five holes in a row, everyone held down the iron drill and worked hard to uncover the ice.
Of course, another way to break ice is with a stone rammer. Stone rammers were also a tool used by people to build houses in the past. They are very simple to make. Grind the stone into a rectangular shape, then drill four holes at both ends to tie well ropes. Of course, the stone must be earthquake-resistant strips. Ordinary stones will break after a few hits.
In the past, when building a house, stone tampers were used to lay a solid foundation. The function is somewhat similar to today's tamping. You must shout slogans when tamping to adjust the rhythm, otherwise it is easy to sprain your waist.
"You still want to go to the village to find an iron drill?" Professor Zhao asked.
"Why bother, just use your brain a little bit," Liu Junhao pointed to his head and replied, "I'll give you an unconventional ice-breaker."
"That's nonsense, what can you do?" Although Professor Zhao didn't believe it, he was looking forward to his performance.
"Just wait, I'll go back to the house and get ready." Liu Junhao said plainly and directly pulled his wife into the house.
He plans to use gunpowder to explode the ice Liu Junhao also has deep attainments in playing with gunpowder. The most proud thing of that year was that after much thinking, I successfully "developed" the Xiaolong Pao fried fish. But this thing was too dangerous. Once he and Liu Qiyong almost blew themselves up when they were frying fish, but they didn't dare to do it again.
