Lu Fan transmigrated into a parallel world where Earth's resources are depleted. At a critical moment, the Dao Wilderness Survival System descended. Each country selects three representatives t...
The next morning, sunlight filtered through the leaves and dappled the ground.
Lu Fan and An Lan got up early to prepare for their new day's work.
The monkeys arrived one after another, all in high spirits, as if they couldn't wait to continue participating in the construction project.
The walls of the house had just been built and needed some time to dry completely, so Lu Fan decided to take advantage of this time to prepare for building the roof.
However, finding suitable roofing materials in this wilderness is no easy task.
After some thought, he turned his gaze to the lush bamboo forest not far away and decided to use bamboo to build the roof.
"Monkeys, our task today is to cut bamboo. We need this bamboo to make a super awesome roof for our house!"
Lu Fan brandished his axe and shouted at the monkey troop.
Upon hearing this, the monkeys immediately became excited, jumping around and squeaking incessantly, as if responding to Lu Fan: "Alright, we can't wait any longer!"
The monkey king took the lead and ran towards the bamboo forest, with the other monkeys following closely behind. The mighty procession looked like an army about to go to war.
Along the way, the monkeys hopped and jumped around, some weaving among the branches, some running on the ground, and occasionally stopping to pick a wild fruit to eat, just like a group of mischievous children.
Upon arriving at the bamboo forest, Lu Fan looked at the dense bamboo in front of him and began to carefully select some.
He was looking for thick, straight bamboo, because only bamboo like that could support the weight of the roof.
"Look everyone, this is the kind of thick, straight bamboo we need!" Lu Fan said, pointing to a bamboo to demonstrate to the monkeys.
The monkeys followed suit and began searching for bamboo that met their requirements.
A little monkey finally found a bamboo stalk that looked very thick. Excitedly, it ran over, grabbed the bamboo, and tried to pull it out. But no matter how hard it tried, the bamboo wouldn't budge.
It was so anxious that it kept circling the bamboo, squeaking incessantly, which made the other monkeys burst into laughter.
Lu Fan walked over with a smile, picked up an axe, and chopped hard at the bottom of the bamboo a few times. The bamboo then fell down with a "whoosh".
The little monkey stared wide-eyed at the fallen bamboo, filled with admiration, as if to say, "Wow, I never knew you could do that!"
With the combined efforts of Lu Fan and the monkey troop, they cut down more than a dozen thick and straight bamboo stalks in one go.
These bamboos are long and heavy, so bringing them back to the shelter will not be an easy task.
However, the monkeys were not deterred by this difficulty.
They found some vines, tied the bamboo together, and then several monkeys carried it together, chanting "Heave-ho, heave-ho," as they walked back step by step.
After finally getting the bamboo back to the shelter, the next step is to prune it.
Lu Fan picked up a saw and cut off the excess branches, leaves, and nodes of the bamboo to make it smoother and flatter.
The monkeys gathered around, watching Lu Fan's actions with curiosity, occasionally handing him tools or helping to hold the bamboo.
Not to be outdone, the Monkey King picked up a small twig and, mimicking Lu Fan's actions, began to gesture on the bamboo, as if he were carrying out a serious repair.
The other monkeys laughed so hard they almost fell over, some even rolling on the ground.
After repairing the bamboo, Lu Fan began another important task—slightly burning the bamboo with fire to carbonize it, which would prevent insects from infesting the bamboo and extend its lifespan.
He lit a fire in the open space, then placed the bamboo on the fire and slowly rotated it to heat the surface of the bamboo evenly.
The monkeys gathered around the fire, their eyes fixed on the bamboo, watching it gradually darken in color, which they found fascinating.
After a whole day of work, the bamboo was finally completely carbonized.
The monkeys took the food and went back.
Lu Fan lay back in the chair, enjoying An Lan's massage.
"I never imagined I would build a house with my own hands; it feels like a dream."
An Lan looked down at Lu Fan and said.
Lu Fan, who had been looking up at An Lan, also came back to his senses: "Yes, it's only been a little over a month, but it feels like a lifetime has passed. The house has been built and the land has been planted."
Live broadcast room.
"Time flies so fast, it's been more than a month already."
"They really have a hard time. If it were me, I would go crazy if I didn't have any entertainment for so long, or even see anyone."
“Lu Fan and An Lan are alright, they can talk to each other and they have so many pets. Ling Yue is all alone, I’m afraid he might have a mental breakdown one day.”
"Ling Yue is also very strong, and he has no shortage of food or anything, but he has no one to accompany him in this desolate wilderness."
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the leaves and fell on the front of Lu Fan's cabin.
He stretched and loosened his muscles before preparing to work on the unfinished roof.
This time, Lu Fan decided to complete the task alone and not bother those adorable monkeys anymore.
Thanks to a full day of hard work yesterday, the main structure of the roof has been largely completed.
The workload is relatively light today, which is a good opportunity for the little ones to get some rest.
Lu Fan first found a thick and sturdy main beam and steadily placed it on the roof.
This main beam is like the spine of the house, supporting the weight of the entire roof.
Next, he brought over slender bamboo poles from the surrounding area and arranged them neatly on both sides of the main beam in a certain order.
He would carefully adjust the position and angle of each bamboo stalk he placed to ensure they could be perfectly combined to form a sloping surface.
In this way, rainwater can flow smoothly down the slope, preventing water accumulation from damaging the roof.
During the process of arranging the bamboo, Lu Fan also paid special attention to the connection between the bamboo stalks.
To prevent the bamboo from loosening or slipping during future use, he cleverly made a small opening at the top of each bamboo stalk.
When two adjacent bamboo stalks are placed in place, these openings can interlock, greatly enhancing the stability between the bamboo stalks.
After all the bamboo was successfully placed, Lu Fan did not stop his work.
He took a bucket of pre-mixed cement and carefully applied it evenly to the surface of the bamboo with a brush.
This layer of cement not only effectively prevents rainwater from seeping into the house, but also further strengthens the connection between the bamboo and the roof, making it more robust and durable.
As time went by, the sun gradually rose higher, and the temperature became increasingly hot.
But Lu Fan remained completely focused on his work, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, which he didn't bother to wipe away.
Finally, after several hours of hard work, the roof repair work was successfully completed!
Looking at the newly renovated and sturdy roof in front of him, Lu Fan's tired face showed a satisfied smile.
