When I got home, I put down my basket, picked up my axe and rope, and went up the mountain to chop firewood. This time, I chopped firewood that was about the thickness of a thumb.

Xiaoyue picked out tree branches and hemp ropes of the same thickness and wove them into a large gate. She measured it and found that the gate was three meters wide. She then wove another centimeter wide and placed the gate on the side, discovering that it was just right to serve as a roof.

Xiaoyue was wondering how to build the roof, but now the problem is solved.

To seal the roof, we not only need enough firewood, but also large leaves.

He went up the mountain to chop firewood again, and all the pieces he chopped were about the size of a thumb and two meters wide.

By evening, Xiaoyue had already finished weaving the roof covers: one measuring 1 meter by 3.2 meters, and three measuring 1.5 meters by 3.2 meters.

Xiaoyue filled the chapped pot with water using a gourd, cooked the monkey head mushrooms, and that solved the meal problem.

That evening, Xiaoyue used the willow branches she had carried back to stack the other three walls horizontally all the way to the top.

Then, two windows were left in the front, one in the back, and a ventilation opening in the back.

Xiaoyue cut a piece the width of a hand on the back wall, and then, like clamping a cane, she clamped a thumb-width stick on the inside and outside of the top of the wall, and then fixed it with hemp bark.

The same applies to the front. Then, the bed was placed against the south wall, and a one-meter plank was carried into the room. One side was propped against the east wall, and Xiaoyue stood on the bed. Since it wasn't tall enough, a stool was added, and the plank was carried up to the west wall.

Xiaoyue drew a line on the south wall and trimmed it with a sickle.

Then the house was moved fifty feet away and placed on top of the south wall.

They installed the roof roof one by one.

As Xiaoyue lay down, she was still thinking: now that we have a house, it still can't keep us dry or sheltered from the rain.

We need to find a way to make money.
