Chapter 181 Building a Treehouse (Part Two)

Zhang Deshui heard from those who went out that they had all told him what he had found out.

He also spoke about their observations and understanding of the surrounding land.

"We've spent most of the day looking around this area."

The land on both banks of the river near the reeds is low-lying and can indeed be cultivated for rice cultivation.

However, we don't know the conditions in this valley. If we plant now, the rice seeds will be wasted if it gets too cold in winter. It would be better to plant them next spring when it's warmer.

The mountains here are high and the land is very fertile.

It is suitable for growing crops such as wheat and corn.

We observed the reeds in the river. The reeds are still in their vigorous growth period and show no signs of withering or turning yellow.

We figured winter should come late here, so we wanted to try something bold.

Planting corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and vegetables is a must, especially varieties like Chinese cabbage and radishes that are good at overwintering.

Li Lanzhen agreed with their arrangement. She planned to take out a batch of pumpkin and winter melon seeds in a couple of days and give them to Zhang Deshui and the others so that they could also plant a plot of land.

These are all relatively easy to store and are good foods for getting through the winter.

Seeing that everyone had fallen silent, Li Lanzhen finally spoke.

“I just looked through this grove of trees with the children.”

Su Chen counted the large trees here; there were 11 large trees in total.

Have you noticed that these big trees have straight trunks, and the distance from the ground to where they branch out and have leaves is about two meters?

Each tree has very thick branches that spread out in all directions, forming a relatively flat depression.

Then even more branches and vines sprouted from these branches, so every big tree was very lush.

I'd like to live in these trees before we build the house and yard; it'll be safer that way. What do you all think?

Everyone looked up and observed the trees, and indeed, it was just as Li Lanzhen had said.

They all nodded in agreement.

Xiao Liuzi spoke up.

“Aunt Lanzhen, I think no one has harvested these reeds in this reed marsh. The grown reeds have withered and fallen on the sandbar, accumulating a thick layer.”

We can cut them down and weave them into mats or cushions. Reeds are quite flexible, and the woven items are durable and wear-resistant.

Li Erhan laughed heartily.

"Xiao Liu is right. We should weave more reed mats. Once every household's house is built and the heated kang (traditional heated brick bed) is set up, it will be truly beautiful to lay down these smooth and durable reed mats."

"Yes, yes, let's all go cut some reeds tomorrow and start weaving mats."

"That's right. When we were in Forget-Worry Valley, I saw that Aunt Lanzhen's family hung straw mats on the cave walls to keep out the dust, and they looked pretty too. I also started weaving more reed mats, not only to lay them on the heated kang, but also to hang them on the walls."

"That's right, reed mats can also be used to lay on the ground to dry wild vegetables and dried mushrooms."

...

A group of women joined their discussion.

The more they talked about the uses of reeds, the more they went on, chatting in small groups about the little things in life ahead.

Surrounded by this enthusiastic and lively group, Li Lanzhen could feel their hope and longing for a better future.

Li Lanzhen stood up and walked towards the mountain gate where Shanxing had led them in.

She wanted to leave everything there and then let people come and move it.

However, as she walked, she suddenly realized that she couldn't leave the things there; it was too far away and too troublesome to move them.

Let's just wait until nightfall, when everyone is asleep, and then leave the things in the woods to avoid having to move them back and forth.

As for the trees that each household cut down in the Valley of Forgetfulness, she plans to release all the wood tomorrow at the site chosen by Han Shunde and the others for building their houses.

She still has some things to do in the space tonight.

Let's see what supplies are available in the space that we can use.

When the interstellar mall closed down, the supplies she redeemed were not only diverse but also numerous. She simply didn't have time to look at them all; she only sought out essential supplies like food when needed.

There's also an unconscious person lying in the space!

Li Lanzhen hadn't decided what to do with this person yet.

Maybe one day she'll go to the mountains, carry him back, and say she found him herself.

I'll take care of him when I come back; of course, I can't let him live off me.

Perhaps we should leave him in the Herb Valley, let him live there alone, and not let him enter the canyon to disturb them.

We'll discuss the specifics after he wakes up.

Also needing to be taken out are seeds of sweet potatoes, potatoes, pumpkins, and various vegetables.

Tomorrow, Zhang Deshui and his team will begin cultivating the land and planting crops.

To build a house, you must lay a foundation. Han Shunde and his colleagues said that it is best to find suitable stones for the foundation, as these will make it more solid and sturdy.

So in the next few days, we'll have to go up the mountain to look for stones.

In this grand canyon, there is only one spring near the reed beds that is drinkable.

This spring was discovered here by Xinghua's grandfather.

However, with so many people in the canyon and only this one mountain spring, the water supply for daily life is not enough.

It seems we need to find a few more mountain springs, or perhaps expand this spring? I wonder if that's feasible.

These are all things Li Lanzhen needs to do tomorrow.

Since she was going to leave her things in the woods, Li Lanzhen wasn't in a hurry and didn't turn back, continuing to walk slowly forward.

After walking for a while, she turned around and saw that no one was following her; everyone was busy with their own things.

He flashed into the space.

Li Lanzhen first went to see the masked man in black.

I noticed that he looked much better, and his wounds had all healed, although the scars were still there.

But the burn scars on his face from the past are still so hideous and terrifying!

Li Lanzhen thought that even if she released it into the space, its face would scare the children to tears!

Moreover, he couldn't possibly keep his face covered all day.

Li Lanzhen was amazed by the various functions of her space.

After the person came in, he lay here, neither eating nor drinking, unconscious, and received no treatment. The only treatment we gave him was cleaning his wounds, applying anti-inflammatory medication, and bandaging them when we first discovered his injuries.

Now, his wounds have healed, but he hasn't woken up.

Once a person is taken out of the space, they will come back to life, right?

What kind of amazing operation is this?

She asked the system, but the system said it didn't know what was going on.

He even complained to Li Lanzhen, saying, "If you don't want this feature, this system will report it to headquarters and have it taken back!"

Li Lanzhen rolled her eyes at him in anger.

Unable to figure it out, Li Lanzhen stopped thinking about it and went to the storage room to start organizing the supplies that needed to be taken out of the space.

She wanted to bring out as much as possible that she could use here.
