Chapter 924 Encircling the Pigsty
In this way, you can feed wild boars without worrying about the smell of wild boars spreading into the villa.
Moreover, that place is relatively close to the potato and sweet potato fields she just planted. Once the potatoes and sweet potatoes have matured a bit, a lot of pig feed will grow in the fields.
At that time, she can also directly cut pig feed from the ground to feed these wild boars.
"You've found a great spot. Let's get started and build the pigsty."
"Okay, I'll go get a knife and go chop some wood in the woods."
As Xie Moyao spoke, he prepared to go back to the small villa to get it. He had seen it before when he was at the border, passing by some slightly wealthy farmers' homes. Those people's pigsties were all made of wood.
The walls were surrounded by wood, and another layer of wood was placed underneath, with gaps between the wood so that pig manure could leak through.
Ji Yunshu nodded. She did get the rabbit pen from the mall, but the pigsty was indeed built with wood, which was more practical.
These wild boars are strong and have very sharp teeth. The enclosures in her space are all a bit too small.
If we were to take the fence out of the space, these wild boars would probably break it down in no time. Building it out of wood would be the most suitable option.
By the time Xie Moyao arrived with the knife, Ji Yunshu had already marked more than a dozen trees, each with a cross drawn on it with a pebble.
Seeing Xie Moyao approach, Ji Yunshu pointed.
"When you went back just now, I took a look around the woods and marked some trees that were about the same size."
Cut down these trees that I've marked, and we'll use them to build the pigsty.
Xie Moyao nodded, picked up his knife, and took a few steps to the tree that Ji Yunshu had marked.
With a forceful swing, a tree fell to the ground with a creaking sound.
Then, Xie Moyao went to cut down the second tree, the third tree, the fourth tree, and so on, more than ten times, until all the marked trees were felled.
While Xie Moyao was chopping down the tree, Ji Yunshu also took out a knife from the mall and shaved off all the branches, leaving only the trunk.
In her previous life, she had seen pigsties being built in the countryside. The trees used to build pigsties could not have any extra branches; they had to be a single trunk.
She carried all the chopped branches deep into the woods and then arranged the whole tree trunks one by one.
After Xie Moyao finished cutting down the tree, Ji Yunshu also trimmed most of the branches, looking at the dozen or so tree trunks lying side by side.
Both of them put their knives aside.
Xie Moyao looked at Ji Yunshu.
"You can rest over there; I'll take care of these things."
As Xie Moyao spoke, he squatted down, picked up a bundle of trees, carried it on his shoulder, and slowly walked towards the place they had chosen.
Carrying logs is hard work, and Xie Moyao didn't want Ji Yunshu, a woman, to suffer. He was a man, and he had plenty of strength in his hands, so it wouldn't take much effort for him.
Ji Yunshu, however, was unwilling to sit and rest. With so many trees, Xie Moyao would have to carry them back and forth for quite a while.
It wasn't far from where they were going to build the pigsty, just a few steps away. Bringing out the car felt like a waste of its potential, but she felt bad about letting Xie Moyao carry it all by himself.
After thinking about it, he simply rolled up his sleeves and helped Xie Moyao move the load.
She was also quite strong; she could move smaller trees herself, and she and Xie Moyao would lift larger ones together.
Before long, all the tree trunks had been moved and carried to the place where the pigsty was to be built.
Looking at the tree trunks scattered on the ground, Ji Yunshu was somewhat troubled and turned to look at Xie Moyao.
"Do you know how to ride it?"
Ji Yunshu had only seen what a pigsty looked like before and didn't know how to build it. As for the rabbit pen, she had taken it directly from her space and just needed to build it according to the blueprints.
She really didn't know where to begin with this pigsty.
"I think I can. I've seen it before. Let's give it a try first."
Xie Moyao responded and went to the flat ground to the side. He dragged out two relatively large tree trunks from the pile of trees, dug two holes in the ground, and first planted the two larger trees in the holes, then filled them with soil.
Next, two more pits were dug in another direction, and two larger tree trunks were selected and buried in the soil. The square positioning around the perimeter was completed.
Xie Moyao checked the size of the pigsty and determined the number of trees needed.
Arriving at a pile of trees, he pulled out seven or eight tree trunks of roughly the same size, picked up a knife, and cut off both ends to make trunks of roughly the same length.
Place the cut tree trunks in the center of the square, in a row, with a fist's distance between each tree.
After laying down the bottom layer of tree trunks, Xie Moyao then cut the remaining trees into equal sizes and lengths and arranged them around the perimeter.
They surrounded the enclosure layer by layer, with two or three fist-widths between the trees, to make sure the pigs inside wouldn't escape through the gaps.
Ji Yunshu watched from the side, trimming branches and reinforcing the joints around the edges. After thinking for a moment, she took out some wire from her spatial storage and handed it to Xie Moyao.
"Here, use this to bind the joint. The vines are too fragile; they'll dry out and break easily over time."
In addition, these wild boars have sharp teeth; if they bite through the vines, the circle will fall apart. They won't easily bite through the wire.
Xie Moyao nodded, feeling that Ji Yunshu's words made even more sense. He took the wire from her hand and wrapped it around the joint of the wood several times before finally tightening it.
After all the joints were secured, a simple pigpen was completed.
Xie Moyao clapped his hands, looked at the pigsty in front of him, and nodded in satisfaction.
"That's about it for now. There shouldn't be any problem keeping these four or five pigs in the pen. You'll have to move these pigs out gradually in the future."
Let's make do with it for now. If we get more pigs later, we'll figure out how to build a bigger one.
Ji Yunshu grinned from the side; her man's practical skills were simply amazing!
In just about an hour, the pigsty was built.
She watched the whole thing from the sidelines.
In a couple of days, she might have to build a pigsty outside the space herself. Xie Moyao has other things to do, so she'll have to rely on herself.
Fortunately, she followed Xie Moyao's instructions throughout the entire process today and has memorized the steps.
She took some tissues from the store and wiped the sweat from Xie Moyao's forehead.
"Well, thank you for your hard work. Just make do with it for now. Whether or not to raise pigs in this space in the future depends on the situation outside."
If we can raise them outside, we won't need to raise them in our space.
