Chapter 8

They worked tirelessly, reinforcing the details until sunset. After three days, their house was finally completed. Despite the hard work, looking at the house before them brought a surge of satisfaction and pride.

This was built by them themselves.

The house was actually quite simple, but everyone felt at home once they walked in. There were about five or six people in each room. Wan Di, Jiang Zouwei, Ji Wenxue, Yao Si, and Ying Zhao lived together.

"Wow, our home is so comfortable!" Ji Wenxue exclaimed happily as soon as she entered the door, walking around here and there like a happy little bird.

"I think we should build another table here, and then put some water bottles here..." Yao Si followed closely behind, rolling his eyes and imagining the future.

Jiang Zouwei approached Wan Di and said, "Are you tired? Why don't you go get some sleep?" These days, they first organized everyone to overthrow the tyranny, then wandered in the universe, and then opened up new land here. Wan Di was the leader and pillar of every activity. Everyone couldn't do without her, and she hardly slept.

Wandi put her hand to her mouth and yawned slightly. Something had been on her mind, and she had always insisted on being energetic every day. Now that she stopped, she suddenly felt sleepy. "But..."

"Environmental inspection, right? Don't worry, I'll go." Jiang Zouwei knew what the other party meant without Wandi saying it.

Wandi nodded, then looked at Jiang Zouwei and said, "Zouwei, thank you." She was always by her side, and understood her every thought tacitly. "When you're done, come sleep with me."

Jiang Zouwei looked at Wan Di's eyes, smiled and nodded.

Ying Zhao walked last, watching Wan Di and Jiang Zouwei affectionately, while Yao Si and Ji Wenxue ran around playing. Feeling redundant, she sat by the window and stared outside. She had never bothered to try to fit in by currying favor.

Out of boredom, her fingers touched something hard in her pocket. Ying Zhao took it out and found it was the stone that Wan Di had given her before.

The crystal clear blue makes people feel comfortable in general.

She played with it in her hands, her thoughts racing.

Yao Si sat down on a stool made of straw and said, "I want to sleep in the middle of the room inside."

"Why? I should sleep in the middle." Ji Wenxue sat down opposite Yao Si and frowned.

"You slept in the middle yesterday!" Yao Si gestured exaggeratedly, "So it should be my turn today. And have you forgotten that you kicked Sister Ying Zhao when you slept in the middle yesterday?"

"I didn't do it accidentally. I apologized to Sister Ying Zhao, and she forgave me." Ji Wenxue said, still feeling angry. "If only I had kicked you yesterday!"

"What a vicious person!" Yao Si's eyes widened, and then a flash of inspiration came to him, changing the subject. "Let's not talk about this accident. You suddenly hugged me last night. How perverted!"

"What? That's because you, an idiot, went to the bathroom and came back to sleep in the wrong position, okay? I was going to hug Sister Wanti." Ji Wenxue pouted in disgust and retorted.

"You still despise me!" Yao Si couldn't believe it.

Ji Wenxue stuck out her tongue and said, "Lelulu, you are my older sister, you should take care of me."

"We are only three days away, does that count?" Yao Si raised his eyebrows, not agreeing with Ji Wenxue's statement.

In order to avoid disturbing Wan Di, Yao Si and Ji Wenxue had been fighting in whispers, and later on they had developed the ability to quarrel using sign language.

Suddenly, they heard the sound of raindrops outside. They looked outside and saw that it was pouring rain. Just as they were worried, they saw Jiang Zouwei coming back, but her body was a little wet. Ji Wenxue quickly grabbed a towel and went over, "Sister Zouwei, are you okay?"

"Yeah." Jiang Zouwei wiped the water off his body and walked straight into the room. The three people outside had nothing to do, so they simply followed him in.

When Wandi opened her eyes, she saw four heads approaching her. She was startled and rubbed her forehead. "Why are you all gathered here?"

Ji Wenxue: "It was raining outside and we were so bored that we came here, but we couldn't sleep."

Wandi fell asleep and heard the faint sound of rain, which made her sleep more comfortably. Now, following Ji Wenxue's words, she looked out the window and heard the sound of dripping raindrops. Outside, the rain and fog were hazy, and the trees were washed green and lush.

It was very satisfying to be in a warm and safe room. "Thank goodness we fixed it today."

"It's like this. Unexpected things happen. I went to check and found that everything was fine. Let's stay here and rest first." Jiang Zouwei said.

Wandi turned his gaze as he listened, and the two of them looked at each other and suddenly laughed.

"I thought you would insist on going out?" Wandi asked, a smile flickering in his eyes.

Jiang Zouwei looked at it, thinking of the sparkling water surface last night. The raindrops outside the window should be falling on the water at this moment. Her heart was filled with ripples, but she felt calm. She put aside the troubles of the past few days for the time being, "I'm not that crazy, am I?"

Before Wandi could answer, Ji Wenxue nodded and then shook her head, "Sister Zouwei, you can be quite crazy sometimes!"

Jiang Zouwei: "..."

Yao Si also came over immediately, "Sister Zou Wei is so powerful, how can you be crazy? I think you, Wen Xue, are the little crazy one!"

"What? Yao Si, I won't cook for you today!"

The two guys started playing again, and soon the rain stopped outside. The wind blew the smell of damp earth into the room.

Wandi stood up, squatted outside the house, and picked up a handful of soil. For planting seeds, soil was the most important thing. She put her nose to it and sniffed. Although the trees and grass were growing well, there seemed to be something else in the soil.

She didn't know whether their "foreign seeds" could be recognized by this land, but she had to give it a try anyway.

There was still wet soil on my hands, and in the blink of an eye, the sun came out.

"Sister Wandi, are we going to plant the seeds now?" Ji Wenxue asked, squatting down, somewhat excitedly. Then, after a moment's thought, she added, "Then are we going to catch chickens today?" She wondered if she would have another chance to show off her specialty, roast chicken.

"We can't plant yet. We still need to catch pheasants," Wandi said. Meat consumption is essential for maintaining nutrition and strength. Furthermore, Dick Hydrogen Planet previously restricted women's diets, perhaps to maintain their figure or something else. In short, women were only allowed to consume life-sustaining supplements. Combined with the drugs used to maintain sexual characteristics, women who should have lived long lives often died painfully young. Most of those who survived were frail and sickly.

Now she wants to restore everyone's health.

"It's raining today and hunting is difficult. I'll go hunt, and you, Zou Wei, will take care of the rest of the management here."

"Okay." Jiang Zouwei answered immediately.

Building a home in a completely new place is a blessing, but it is by no means easy. They still have a lot to do, and it is a bit unrealistic to rely on one person. Fortunately, they are not alone.

Wandi set out on the muddy road, but her skill made walking easy. She made her movements light and effortless, yet advanced swiftly. Each footstep was like a bird skimming across the water, disappearing in an instant.

Besides the road conditions, the most important thing about the recent rain was that the prey had mostly hidden. Wandi listened carefully to the sounds around him and observed every direction, unwilling to miss even the slightest movement.

After walking for an hour without finding anything, Wandi was not very surprised by this result, but it was getting dark, and she had to find something before dark.

Hard work pays off. Wandi stopped quietly and heard the sound of grass leaves rustling over there.

With deft timing and incredible precision, he swung the stick, and the creature cried out. Wandi parted the grass and discovered a snake.

It’s not that you can’t eat it.

But watching the snake twist its body, the smooth eggshell underneath was exposed. In such bad weather, the mother snake must be here just because of these snake eggs, right?

Wandi picked up the stick that was blocking the snake. The snake's body suddenly tensed up, and its strong muscles supported its body. It spit out the red apricot, turned its head to look at Wandi, and then rushed over.

Wandi thought the snake was going to attack her and had already prepared for defense. But unexpectedly, the snake just rubbed her ankle and then retreated with measured steps.

Wandi was surprised by the snake's intimacy. She didn't know if the snake could understand her, so she just said, "It will rain tomorrow too. Let's find a place to shelter from the rain now." Then she turned and left.

Even though she let go of the food that was right in front of her, Wandi had no regrets. With so many creatures, was she really worried about not being able to find food?

Perhaps it was a reward for her good deeds. Wandi was planning to go back the same way to catch fish, but along the way she unexpectedly encountered several pheasants gathered together. Just by looking at their feathers and expressions, she could tell that they were all males.

This time, Wandi showed no mercy. He picked up what was at hand and threw it over quickly and accurately. Soon the three pheasants lost their ability to move.

"Wow, sister Wanti, you are so awesome. You've worked so hard. Let me take care of the express delivery!" Ji Wenxue ran over as soon as she saw Wanti coming back.

Yao Si also ran over, "I'll help too!"

The two men took the pheasant, then scalded it, plucked its feathers, and pulled out its internal organs.

"These feathers are pretty. We can put them in the house as decoration." Ji Wenxue said as she plucked the feathers, already thinking about what she was going to do.

"Decoration?" Yao Si asked, then picked up the warm hair he had just plucked, examined it for a moment, and said, "You can use it as a pen, like a feather pen."

"That's a good idea! But we don't have any ink or paper..."

"That's true." Yao Si nodded, and continued to process the chicken skillfully with his hands. "Then can you make ink or paper?" These past few days, Wandi had completely reshaped her worldview. She also felt that the people in this alliance were mysterious and powerful, as if they could do anything.

"As for ink, I know it would be very convenient to find a kind of crystal. The ink developed is also of high quality, impervious to water and fire, and can be preserved for thousands of years. However, I don't know where to find that kind of crystal." Ji Wenxue sighed slightly. "I have no experience in papermaking. But I can use a torch to bake the words on the skin of a chicken."
