Chapter 22 22. The wealth of the sky
Huaiyu returned to the small tree house with a flashlight. The time on the watch was already 9:30.
The house was in a mess, and the things bought at the market were piled up in a mess, and it looked like a junk factory when illuminated by the flashlight.
The net bag of tree vines brought back from the mountain was still thrown on the ground. There was only a small amount of water left in the mineral water bucket, and in the square wall built in the middle of the house, the embers of the fire were cold.
I’m so tired today!
But time was tight and she couldn't rest yet, so she went outside to gather a bunch of branches and leaves again, and then lit the fire again.
The warm firelight danced, and when she lowered the woven straw curtain door, she relaxed completely.
But after lying on the haystack for only a short time, Huaiyu got up again.
Three backpacks, one of which is used as a storage basket, the newly bought sugar and salt, as well as my own soybeans, peanuts and yam eggs sponsored by the field mouse, were all wrapped in leaves and put in carefully.
The large waterproof storage bag can be used to store your newly purchased down jackets, sweatpants, underwear, and brand new sneakers.
Oh, it was so spacious, it seemed like it could hold a lot of things. The more she looked at it, the happier she felt! I can’t wait to go to the mountains tomorrow to collect two baskets of wild vegetables and fill the house with them!
But... looking at the hay piled on the side of the tree house, Huaiyu could only suppress his eagerness.
After one crop of wild vegetables, there will be another crop, but if the toilet cannot be built before the heavy rain, her grain cycle will have a big problem!
There are still priorities.
She sighed, and placed the cups and basins on the simple sink where the toothbrush and toothpaste were placed. The soap and soap were put aside, and the iron pot was placed on it if it was not needed for the time being.
Three plastic bags are stuffed into one of the backpacks, and the other is used as a backup. It is placed together with the multi-functional shovel. You can take it at any time and start going up the mountain.
And now!
Her most important task is to weave straw curtains!
The little pile I made last night is piled next to my bed. It seems that the craftsmanship is completely unskilled. It is just the simplest three-strand braid, and then the three-strand braids are overlapped and interspersed. Barely forming a straw curtain.
The curtain is not smooth and straight at all, and the broken stubble of the hay is staggered and looks silly.
It can only be said that the more proficient you get in the end, the more you can use it anyway.
Walking around the trading market today, Huaiyu became more and more certain that Captain Zhou did not tell her the true price twice when he helped her exchange the waterproof tarpaulin.
Good points should be spent on the cutting edge. For toilets and other things, a straw curtain is enough to keep out the rain. In the future, if there are too many points, they will be replaced step by step.
The fire light danced slowly, and the temperature in the room gradually increased. And with the accumulation of yesterday's proficiency, Huaiyu's knitting movements are getting faster and faster today...
The night is getting darker.
…
Early in the morning of the second day, Huaiyu still woke up to the sound of the broadcast. She went to bed at one o'clock last night, and now she was struggling to get up.
Opening the straw curtain, the wind is blowing gusts, and the moist water vapor in the wind can be felt without listening to the announcement.
Although the broadcast said heavy rain was expected the day after tomorrow, Huaiyu looked at the weather and felt that tomorrow would be bad.
She picked up the multifunctional shovel and rope, washed briefly, picked up a bag of nutrient solution and went straight up the mountain.
After all, building materials are so expensive now. If you need brackets to build a shed or toilet, you still have to visit your relatives in the mountains.
This time, Huaiyu is already familiar with the road, and Qiangwei Corridor has gradually become more polite, taking the initiative to give up the passage without saying anything nice.
Huaiyu didn't go too far either. The mountains were so high, deep and huge, and what she had to do today was all strenuous work, so it was best to get the materials nearby.
After all, it takes more than half an hour to walk from District 37 to District 8!
Fortunately, the most abundant thing on the mountainside is trees, especially those young trees that have just grown.
They are only as thin as a girl's wrist, just enough to bear the weight and be able to drag it around. But now many of the trees have not sprouted green, so the weight has dropped a lot.
She picked up the multi-functional shovel, selected the direction of the elastic rope and tied it to several surrounding trees to prevent it from falling in the wrong direction later.
Chopping with a band saw and then kicking her violently, these actions were really too much for a weak girl to bear. After two hours of breathless and exhausting work, eight even tree trunks were finally stacked at Huaiyu's feet.
Although the trunk is not thick, the branches on it can stretch out to a large diameter. She tied them up again with ropes, hooked a few tree vines, and pulled them back with a drag.
In fact, if you can save effort, it is better to use tree vines to take root and grow. Although it takes some effort and the feeling of exhaustion is not pleasant, it saves you such hard work.
Ke Huaiyu was afraid of the defenders coming.
Her tree house is completely covered with leaves and waterproof tarpaulins. The wisteria branches are more impressive, with side buds suspended and roots spreading from the soil below.
After a while, they will break through the soil layer on the other side of the land and grow strong tree trunks.
But that is the normal growth rate. Even if the defenders come over, they will not notice it.
Not to mention that the leaves used to pave the roof have shrunk and withered into yellow, and will wither in two days.
Of course, if it dies, it can also stay stacked on the roof to provide warmth and cold insulation.
But this way no one will doubt that it is only spring now, where do such fresh sycamore leaves come from?
But if you use this method to build corridors and toilets, there is still a big difference in whether the tree trunks are alive or dead.
What's more, she doesn't have enough points to be so shameless as to ask for a waterproof tarpaulin to cover the whole place.
After thinking about it, just put in the effort and wait until you get through this period.
Huaiyu kept convincing himself while humming and tugging.
The tree trunks were so big that when we got to the Rose Corridor, we had to untie them one by one and drag them across.
The twigs hooked up the vines in the Rose Corridor, causing the flowers on the other side to move. It was obvious that he was very unhappy.
Huaiyu is afraid that it will sound an alarm, so now he has to beg softly...
It made her want to cry.
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo difficult!
Why is it so hard!
She had enjoyed incredible wealth before, but now she has bottomed out. Does she want to live like this by herself?
And when she dragged the tree trunk back to the tree house in embarrassment, she raised her wrist again, and it was already 12 o'clock.
But he couldn't rest yet.
Huaiyu wiped the sweat from his head and face with a towel, then lit the fire, set up a pot, and boiled a large pot of water.
When the water boils, it bubbles. If you throw a pack of instant noodles into it at this time, it will probably be the most delicious thing in the world.
Huaiyu stared at the empty pot except for water, feeling a surge of greed, but no matter how greedy he was, there was nothing to eat!
The only thing that can be eaten now is some seeds she reserved and the remaining nutrient solution.
Finally, he raised his gaze upwards and focused on the pine tower hung with vines in the center of the treehouse, disguised as a chandelier.
Forget it.
She looked away depressedly and sprinkled the salt and sugar she bought yesterday into the pot.
