"fine…"

Ye Feng waved his hand, gathering the group together again…

"The ground is all muddy, and it's difficult for us to go up there with just one bag on our backs."

If you were to carry timber up there, you'd fall countless times.

We need to figure out a way to get the road built first.

Everyone nodded in agreement... but how can we repair the road in this torrential rain?

"Huh!?"

A moment later, Liu Sisi had a sudden inspiration and came up with a plan...

"We can dig!"

Where should we dig?

Qi Xiaoyan asked…

After looking around, Liu Sisi pointed to a rock not far away...

“Go uphill, dig out steps at appropriate intervals, and then place stones on top of them.”

In my hometown, in the mountains, roads were built like this, so they wouldn't be slippery even on rainy days.

"Good idea."

Ye Feng immediately nodded, approving of the plan.

"I'll go dig a hole, you guys go find some stones. Remember, don't find mossy stones, or you'll fall even harder."

After saying that, everyone immediately split up and began to act.

Ye Feng took out a wooden shovel and, choosing a section of road with less mud, began to slowly dig upwards...

Each step is spaced about half a meter apart, because the soil is damp…

He reached the summit in just half an hour…

Immediately afterwards, he joined the others to search for stones…

A few days ago, when Ye Feng was practicing his stone-throwing skills, he picked up a lot of stones from the pond and threw them all next to the camp.

Unexpectedly... it came in very handy at this crucial moment...

Soon, they had collected a large pile of uneven stones...

Because some of the stones were too round and huge, Fu Changxiong and his group were responsible for smashing them, while Ye Feng began paving the road...

And so, braving the heavy rain, they each busied themselves with their own tasks…

Because everyone knows in their hearts that time is life, and they have no other choice…

We must risk our lives and race against time against nature…

If you win, you still have a chance to live. If you lose, you will surely die…

In this game where there's no room for error, they can only give it their all...

Therefore, everyone worked with unprecedented effort…

Fortunately, hard work always pays off...

More than an hour later, they finally laid out the steps and carried all the tools and food up...

They were all back in the treehouse, panting heavily...

Despite the raincoats, everyone's pants and shoes were basically soaked through...

And his body was covered in a lot of yellow mud...

It's easy to see that they all stumbled and fell many times during this process.

But it seemed that fate had no intention of showing them mercy; the heavy rain not only did not lessen, but actually intensified...

It was as if someone in the sky was using a high-pressure water gun to continuously spray them...

Fu Changxiong asked:

"Brother, have you chosen a location for our house yet?"

Ye Feng nodded…

"Do you remember where we first set up the trap?"

After thinking for a moment, Fu Changxiong said:

"It seems to be behind that patch of vegetation. I remember there were quite a few nut trees nearby..."

"right."

Ye Feng emptied all the water from his shoes and put them back on…

"When I passed by the forest last time I killed the wild boar king, I noticed that there was an oak tree in the forest that was particularly thick."

Moreover, it has many thick branches and trunks, and there are many nut trees around it.

Aside from being a bit far from the water source, it has virtually no drawbacks and is perfect as a treehouse.

Have you figured out how to lay the foundation?

Liu Sisi asked…

"Um."

Ye Feng nodded, took a half-burnt piece of firewood from the stove, and began waving it across the floor…

Before long, relying on his extraordinary memory, he sketched out the approximate shape of the tree trunk and branches...

Then the explanation began…

"This time we don't need to use mortise and tenon joints; it's too troublesome."

The oak tree trunk is very sturdy. I've observed it; there are 6 branches as thick as a calf and 11 branches as thick as an arm.

All we need to do is find four sturdy trunks to use as the foundation.

Then arrange them into a square or rectangle, and then lay suitable small round logs on top as flooring.

Finally, the floor and surrounding branches are bound together to form a fence.

As for the roof, it's even simpler; just place a log on top of two branches, saving on even the need for load-bearing capacity...

Did you understand?

After saying this, the four of them looked at each other, staring at the construction drawings on the floor that looked like scribbles, and slowly shook their heads…

"Uh... Brother Feng..."

Liu Sisi frowned and said:

"I understand a little of what you're saying, but we really can't understand these blueprints. Why don't you take charge of us when we get there?"

"Yes, yes!"

Fu Changxiong picked up the conversation…

"We'll do whatever you say. Let's just get started. You can teach us when we get there..."

Ye Feng slowly stood up... and the others followed suit...

"Alright, hurry up and get moving. We have to finish the move today!"

"good!"

After saying that, everyone got back to work...

They had a clear division of labor: the boys were responsible for dismantling the wall, and the girls were responsible for dismantling the roof...

Because there were many palm leaves and moss on the mountaintop, the long-dried plants on the roof were gone...

And some of them were blown away by the strong winds last night... They're useless now.

However, apart from this and the four large round logs used for the foundation, everything else can be put to good use.

After all, cutting down trees is very tiring, and it's even more difficult to do on rainy days...

The group worked tirelessly in the rain for about two hours, finally managing to completely dismantle the treehouse...

Then came the tedious and laborious moving...

The men were alright; after all, they had done a lot of this work when building the treehouse, and they were used to it...

However, the two girls were indeed limited in their abilities, and they often fell due to the excessive weight during the carrying process.

Later, when there was really no other way, Ye Feng was afraid they would fall to their deaths, so he only let them do what they could.

For example, you could make a simple wooden ladder, or collect some palm leaves and moss...

In short, none of the five people were idle...

Finally, around 2 or 3 pm, they successfully transported all the timber to its destination…

Before them lay a sparse forest, surrounded by various trees and vegetation.

The view of the previous campsite was completely lost, and visibility was extremely limited...

It looks like a green ocean…

But the oak tree was much as Ye Feng had described, with thick trunk and many branches, making it very suitable for building a treehouse.

When they saw their surroundings, everyone was stunned, their eyes filled with obvious disappointment…

Compared to the original campsite, it's like living in a scenic ocean-view house but suddenly being moved to Hegang...
