Chapter 266: Not prepared, that's his own problem
Another hour and a half later, Gu Xiaoxi and his friends finally arrived at the place Qi Lao mentioned.
There was indeed a large open space in this place. Besides weeds, rocks and some man-made garbage, there was also a collapsed thatched house and a stone stove in someone else's base.
Lu Jiansen took out the big black bag and backpack that he had put away earlier and put them aside, then gently rubbed his little girl's head.
"Don't wander around here. I'm picking up some firewood nearby."
"Okay." Gu Xiaoxi nodded.
After Lu Jiansen left, she moved her fingers and cleaned the area.
Then she found a place, dug two shallow circular pits with a small shovel, and took out a small box of charcoal from the space.
She placed the charcoal in the shallow pit and lit it. She then set up two triangular pot racks, one of which contained a clay pot with ginger duck, and a special small iron bucket with a lid filled with cooked white rice.
By the time she had finished her work, Lu Jiansen had already returned with an armful of firewood.
"You eat first, I'll make a fire." Gu Xiaoxi immediately ran to help.
Lu Jiansen looked at her and smiled, "I'll do it!"
"The fire will be lit in the middle of the open space. We will live on one side and Lu Jianye and his friends will live on the other side. I don't want to live next to He Lin."
Gu Xiaoxi put it very bluntly.
She likes neither Bi Wenyue nor He Lin!
Lu Jiansen nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
When Gu Xiaoxi saw that he agreed, he felt much better.
When Lu Jiansen started the fire, she also helped a little, quietly drying the not-so-dry firewood.
The fire was lit and the two of them had a meal first.
It's already past nine o'clock in the evening, and Lu Jiansen can't bear to see his little girl go hungry.
Gu Xiaoxi really likes ginger duck, but the same dish is always a bit monotonous, so she took out two fried steaks from the space.
Because they arrived early, by the time they finished their meal, the others had not arrived yet.
"I'll go chop down two trees. Can you sit here and warm yourself by the fire?" Lu Jiansen gently stroked the little girl's cold face.
Gu Xiaoxi nodded, "Okay, don't go too far."
"Okay, I'm nearby."
He was worried even if we walked away!
Gu Xiaoxi roasted the fire for a while, then rubbed his hands, stood up and looked around.
It seems that Qi Lao and Shuang Shuang are still very far away!
After thinking about it, she immediately sank her consciousness into her own space and harvested the ripe rice fields and threshed them.
Then she brought out a pile of wind-dried straw and sat by the fire to weave.
At this time, on the way up the mountain, Qi Lao and others had already seen the fire and were heading towards the direction of the fire.
When Qi Lao and others arrived, Gu Xiaoxi had already flattened a pile of straw and woven a thick straw mat loosely and softly, and was now weaving a second one.
While putting his things away, Mr. Qi asked, "You are the only one here! Did that kid Lu Jiansen go to collect firewood?"
"He went to cut down some trees! He should be back soon!"
Mr. Qi took a look at the straw mat she had woven and said with a smile, "It's very well woven!"
The little girl is thoughtful and thoughtful!
The old man here mainly promotes a simple and hard-working life, and he doesn't know how to do this kind of thing.
Qi Shuangshuang came over breathlessly, dropped her things and sat down.
"Xiaoxi, teach me, I will also learn how to weave!"
"Okay, first spread the straw I cleaned up into the size of a bed, and lay it out neatly..."
"Okay!" Qi Shuangshuang slowed down and immediately got up to work.
"After laying it out neatly, we weave it around the edges, like a net, to trap the straw. This way it will be warmer when you sleep." Gu Xiaoxi explained while demonstrating to her.
Qi Shuangshuang looked at it for a while but didn't quite understand it, but Lu Jianlin, who had just come over, understood it.
In just a few seconds, he was able to start weaving.
Gu Xiaoxi was also happy and at ease, so he just let it go and did other things.
She opened the cardboard box that Lu Jianlin brought up, took out a piece of waterproof cloth and unfolded it, roughly calculated the size, then took out a pair of scissors and started cutting.
Seeing that there were enough people here, Si Nanyu turned on his flashlight and followed the light not far away to look for Lu Jiansen.
Soon, the two men came back with two bundles of small branches of similar thickness.
Gu Xiaoxi immediately stepped forward and told Lu Jiansen about his desire to set up a small tent.
If they set up a big tent with separate rooms for men and women, then she would have to live with He Lin, and she didn't want that!
Fu Jiani was already unhappy last time, let alone He Lin, such a scheming woman!
Lu Jiansen naturally let his wife do whatever she wanted, so he sharpened the branch and nodded, "Listen to my wife!"
Gu Xiaoxi pursed her lips and smiled, then looked at Si Nanyu who was standing beside her with his head down and laughing secretly.
"Aren't you hungry? Go eat first! There are some warm rice and vegetables on the side!"
"Ah? Xiaoxi, have you prepared dinner? I thought it wasn't ready yet!" Qi Shuangshuang responded immediately after hearing this.
Gu Xiaoxi smiled and replied, "I thought you weren't hungry! Lu Jiansen and I have already eaten, and that was left for you."
"Then I'm going to eat. I'm so hungry!" Qi Shuangshuang immediately dropped the half-woven straw mat in her hands and went to eat.
Si Nanyu naturally went along as well.
Gu Xiaoxi and Lu Jiansen selected a location together, first built a wooden frame, and then covered the frame with the waterproof cloth cut by Gu Xiaoxi.
After a simple sewing around the edges, a simple tent is completed.
Gu Xiaoxi then asked Lu Jiansen to move in the straw mat he had woven earlier, which was a perfect size for the small tent.
Gu Xiaoxi looked at it and was quite satisfied. He immediately found a moisture-proof mat to use as a bed sheet and spread it on the straw mat.
Well, add two sleeping bags and it's perfect!
Qi Shuangshuang, who was having dinner, admired Xiaoxi's masterpiece and was full of admiration in her heart.
She felt that Xiaoxi was the kind of person who could live as well and comfortably as possible under any circumstances.
She loves this friend so much!
She finished the rice in her bowl in a few bites and immediately went to set up the rest of the tent.
When the second small tent was set up, Qi Shuangshuang's face was filled with happiness when she saw Gu Xiaoxi put a cold-proof sleeping bag on the straw mat covered with moisture-proof pad.
"Xiaoxi, no wonder you told us not to bring thick blankets. So you prepared sleeping bags for us?"
Gu Xiaoxi nodded, "I didn't know there were other people besides Si Nanyu, so I prepared six."
Hearing this, Si Nanyu was grateful and couldn't help but look at Lu Jiansen.
Lu Jianye and his team were still slowly climbing up the mountain. When they arrived, it would not be peaceful at all.
Lu Jiansen was very calm. Since Lu Jianye was going to Wushan, it was impossible for him to be unprepared.
If he is really not prepared, that is his own problem.
He just needs to take care of his little girl!
