The specifications of the brick kiln in the rock fort belong to the latter, and the entire column is sealed, and the repair is very strong, but on the four sides below the column, there is a small door half a person high-

There were small holes in the walls and in the roof at intervals, and the light poured down from them, so that it was not dark inside.

Inside the brick kiln, there was no one in it at this time, but it was filled with thatch.

The thatch was divided into stacks, each of which was close to the roof, and was stacked high, and as far as the eye could see, there were countless such stacks in the big house. And above the roof, there are also a lot of these haystacks piled up in the open air, and at a glance, it is very spectacular.

It is conservatively estimated that the thatch stored here must be more than tens of thousands of catties.

There is a bridge on the Gan River, a small bridge, which is a foundation made of stones and some broken bricks and tiles, forming a lot of bridge piers standing in the river, and a lot of stone slabs are built on the bridge piers, and such a bridge is formed. The bridge is very simple, there are no railings, and it is not wide, and it can accommodate up to two horses in parallel.

The Gan River is not wide or deep, and the banks on both sides are relatively gentle. Such a bridge is completely sufficient, because in the past few days, there are not many people passing here, whether it is the convoy from the lonely shop, or the people from Zhenhebao and other places, they all come from the south, and they have to cross the bridge on the Huanshui River.

That bridge was wide and big.

On the east side of the bridge was a small road, a dirt road, very simple, but only five feet wide, and the ground was only tamped. However, compared to the overgrown weeds, it is noticeably a flat road. The road winds eastwards in the direction of the brick kiln.

It was built by Jia Yunxi, the steward of the brick kiln, with the captives, and through this bridge, the path was connected to the main road for future transportation. In addition to this, he made a report and took a slip and ordered twenty wheelbarrows from the carpenter's workshop for future use.

On the east side of the main body of the huge brick kiln, all the weeds on the ground have been cleared, and the ground has been very smooth, and there is a circle of soil fences more than a foot high on all sides. This piece of land is about fifty or sixty meters in circumference, but it seems quite large, and this is the place where the bricks will be dried in the future. After the bricks are laid, they cannot be fired immediately in the furnace, nor can they be exposed to the sun. It is usually stacked neatly, a layer of east-west horizontally, a layer of north-south horizontally, leaving enough space between bricks and bricks to facilitate air circulation, stacking almost someone's chest high, and then covering the surface with a layer of straw mats, let it dry in the shade.

After drying, it can be fired in the furnace, and this passing scene can only be eaten by watching the sky, and it is not good to use external forces, even in the later generations, it is also quite a long time.

To the south of the brick kiln, there is also a large area of land, which is larger than the site used to dry bricks, and there is a shallow trench dug around it. The winter is cold, the ground is hard, and it is not easy to dig deeply, so this trench is only half a foot wide and half a foot deep, but it is only for the convenience of understanding.

This piece of ground enclosed by a trench was used to get earth in the future.

The soil around this piece contains very little sand, is very sticky, very fine and silky, and is sticky and sticky in the hand, which is a good clay.

There are many small but deep holes in the ground, and these holes are drilled to explore the depth and extent of the burial of the underground clay, and there are many such holes in this land.

Whether it is green bricks or red bricks, in fact, the material is the same kind - they are all made of clay mixed with water to support the bricks to be fired, and the reason why there are green bricks and red bricks is just because the temperature of firing is different.

Clay contains iron, and when it is completely oxidized during the firing process, it produces ferric oxide which is red, that is, the most commonly used red brick; And if water is added to cool during the firing process, so that the iron in the clay is not completely oxidized, it will be cyan, that is, green bricks.

The amount of clay in this underground area is very impressive, which is why the brick kiln was located here in the first place.

From the east bank of the river Gan, a shallow trench leads to this side, and this trench circles the brick kiln for half a circle, and then leads into a pile of rubble. The trench was about three feet deep and three feet wide, and it was still dry in the water. However, one end of the ditch is connected to the Gan River, and it is conceivable that once the ice water melts in the spring, the inside of the ditch will also be filled with water.

To the north of the brick kiln was a rocky barren beach, and the ground was rugged and covered with stones of all sizes, the largest of which was the size of a lying cow, and the smaller one was the size of a fist, scattered everywhere.

The end of the trench is where it disappears.

Between the rocks, a camp was built.

The camp was built of stones, and was surrounded by a wooden fence, which was three meters high and the thickness of a man's calf, and was driven deep into the ground to a depth of three feet, almost every two feet, and then between the thick logs, rows of planks were nailed horizontally from top to bottom. The inner and outer sides are each nailed in a row, forming a considerable space in the middle, and due to the convenient location, many of the spaces under the fence are filled with gravel blocks.

The camp is about 20 meters wide from east to west and 15 meters wide from north to south, and it is quite empty inside, with three longhouses built from east to west. These three longhouses are not so much houses as shacks. It is about 10 meters long from north to south and about 3 meters wide from east to west, and there is a considerable space between each room.

The four corners were propped up with wooden pillars the thickness of the mouth of the bowl, and between the two wooden pillars, at intervals of a foot, a wooden piece the thickness of an arm was erected. Then on the inner and outer sides of the wood, there were palm-thick planks nailed horizontally and vertically, and the gaps between the planks were stuffed with gravel, dirt, grass, and the like, so that a wall was formed. The roof is also built with large wooden planks, covered with weeds, and a thick layer.

This shed is very simple, the wind in winter, can not be stopped at all, the wind outside is small in the wind, the whirring cold evil, only into the human body drilling, cold and like an ice cellar. Needless to say, when it rains in other seasons, everything is sure to be soaked in it.

It's also a shame that there hasn't been much snow this winter, and once the snow is a little heavier, the roof will collapse directly!

But since it's for the captives, no one cares about it.

The prisoners here are the captured bandits of the Six Ridge Mountains.

There were originally more than 100 of them, but because some of them plotted to escape, they were slashed and killed by the guards, and then all the related people were taken out and slaughtered, and only 90 were left. There was another group fight, and thirteen people died one after another, and now only seventy-seven people remain.

The more than 70 people were divided into three large sheds, and they were settled in this way to prevent them from colluding or triggering large-scale group fights.

The camp had only one door, and it was not large, about enough to accommodate two people in parallel, and next to the door, there was a small two-story building made of wood. The small building is also quite simple, but it is much better than the shed inside. The building is not big, the upper and lower are the size of each house, but it is two feet high. On the second floor facing the camp, the window is opened, and from there, you can just look down on the whole camp without blind spots.

This small building is occupied by the Dong Mansion family who is responsible for guarding them. Wang Hun led people to guard here, since these captives were escorted over, these captives are very dangerous, Dong Ce is not afraid that they will escape, but is afraid that they will wander to the village outside the rock fort to wreak havoc, because they are extremely strict with their guards, even when they ambushed the Fan family caravan, they did not transfer the manpower here.

The first floor is inhabited, and the second floor doubles as a watchtower.

At this time, the camp is very lively.

Just after lunch, the cauldron and stove were removed, and the charcoal that was still burning was extinguished with water, and placed next to a large stone, which could be used the next time the fire was cooked. The buildings here are made of wood, which can easily cause fires, so fire prevention is a top priority.

The trench was to prevent this, the trench flowed outside the camp, and only disappeared in the chaos after a small half circle outside, when the time came it was filled with water, and in the event of a fire, it could be rescued by the nearest water.

Wang Hun sat on a stone with his hand on the knife at his waist, his gaze sweeping over the captives.

The fire is always used to cook outdoors, and the meal is also outside, and everyone sits in the open air, and when eating, the family members are holding knives on the side and staring with whips in their hands. As long as there is something wrong, go up immediately and punch, kick, whip, and beat!

These thugs have done everything, and since they came to Rock Fort, there have been a lot of fights with each other over a bite of food.

And there is another purpose of staring here - to prevent people from hiding food, the rule here is that you can eat it when you finish eating, and you can't hide it privately.

Many of the captives had packed up their things and gone out—in fact, they were packing their things, but they were just carrying two ropes in their hands, and nothing else. They passed by Wang Hun'er, they were all respectfully bowed and greeted, Wang Hun snorted twice in ignorance, they hurriedly responded, and then went out of the camp. Going out of the camp gate, but the direction of going is different, there are people going to the southeast, north and south, but the least goes to the west, because if you go to the west, you will cross the river and walk for a while to the village where the people live under the rock fort. They don't want to deal with each other. Ten pounds is also carrying two ropes and is about to go out.
