Luo Chen and Luo Yang noticed Xiao Yunying grinding ink, and came over when she picked up her brush to draw, wanting to see what she was doing.
After recognizing that it was a blueprint for building a house, Luo Chen couldn't help but ask, "Why are you drawing this?"
Xiao Yunying started drawing furniture blueprints: "I also want to discuss this with you. This house is really too dilapidated. Look, it's raining heavily outside and drizzling inside. It's almost like a waterfall. I want to demolish it and rebuild it. Do you agree? If you don't agree, I'll buy another piece of land and build a new house."
He knew about the Water Curtain Cave; it was the place where the monkey lived in the story she told him.
Luo Chen and Luo Yang exchanged a glance. Luo Yang said, "Building a house is no problem, but do you have the money?"
"You don't need to worry about the money; we'll have it after a trip into the mountains."
The supermarket can be automatically restocked; if she runs out of money, she can just take out snow fungus to sell.
Luo Chen always felt that she might go into Xishan one day and never come back: "Don't go into the mountains so often, there are many wild animals in the mountains, it's quite dangerous."
"Don't worry, I value my life more than you do. I won't go into the deep mountains unless I'm sure I'm safe. Ordinary wild animals can't hurt me."
She can hide in the supermarket when she encounters wild animals, but small, quiet animals like venomous snakes and insects are more frightening.
Luo Chen was puzzled. What exactly was her true form? Was she very powerful? She wasn't afraid of wild beasts at all.
Xiao Yunying was drawing a diagram of the drainage pipe structure. There were no water pipes here, what should she do?
Should we use bamboo? Won't it rot too quickly?
Iron products are out of the question; the regulations on iron products are very strict here. She was questioned repeatedly when she bought an axe, and it would be difficult to explain buying such an oddly shaped item.
Moreover, iron rusts easily and is not much better than bamboo.
Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed the porcelain bowl on the table where she was drinking water, and a thought suddenly struck her: she could use porcelain! She wondered if it was possible to have one custom-made.
"By the way, Luo Chen, do you need a house deed and a land deed to build a house? Do you know where they are kept?"
"I don't know, but it should be in Grandma's room."
She wasn't interested in rummaging through other people's things: "Go look for it when the rain stops."
"good."
Luo Chen watched Xiao Yunying draw blueprints for a while, but found them incomprehensible.
Her handwriting is quite good; her posture is upright, her strokes are well-formed, and she has her own unique style. However, many of her characters are missing strokes or lines.
He was too embarrassed to say it aloud, and maybe that's how their clan wrote it. After reading for a while, he went to play with his younger siblings.
Luo Yang, on the other hand, was engrossed in the painting, occasionally asking what it was, and Xiao Yunying would give him a simple explanation.
The rain lasted for an hour. After Xiao Yunying finished painting the last picture, she folded it up and put it in the bedside table after it dried.
As I opened the door, a cool, damp breeze rushed in. The air after the downpour carried the scent of fresh grass, making it smell exceptionally clean.
There was a knock on the courtyard door. Xiao Yunying went to open it and found her two older brothers.
The two brothers, carrying a straw mat and a ladder, said, "Little sister, Dad was worried that your roof was leaking, so he sent us to fix it for you."
"That's great, thank you, eldest brother and second brother. The children's house is leaking terribly, and I'm really worried about it."
Xiao Yunbai set up the ladder: "It's been a while since we last met, and you seem to be much more polite to me now."
Xiao Yunying touched her nose guiltily: "I was seriously ill a few days ago and figured out a lot of things. I'm not a child anymore, it's time to be sensible."
“My mother told us, ‘Why did you go out into the deep mountains? If something happens to you, no one will hear you when you call for help.’”
Xiao Yunsong, who had climbed onto the roof, said, "Your second brother is right. A while ago, someone at the foot of the mountain heard the sound of a big tiger calling from the West Mountain. Don't keep going there."
Tigers! Exciting!
"Second brother, are tigers very valuable? Why don't you and Dad go and hunt tigers?"
Xiao Yunbai handed a straw curtain to the roof: "Silly girl, don't dream. Do you think that tiger is easy to kill? Your two brothers and your father don't even know if they're enough for that tiger to eat in one meal."
"I just wanted to know if the big worm was valuable, I didn't mean for my brother to go."
"Of course it's valuable. I heard from my father that more than ten years ago, a village in the south of the city gathered most of the able-bodied men in the village to kill a big insect that came down from the mountain to hunt for food, and sold it for three hundred and fifty taels of silver."
Three hundred and fifty taels sounds like a lot, but after dividing it among those who participated in the tiger hunt, not much was actually left for them.
It's more profitable for her to sell snow fungus, and there's no danger involved.
Xiao Yunsong climbed down the ladder and moved to the front of Xiao Yunying's house: "Don't be stupid and go looking for the big worm yourself, little sister. You've never seen a big worm before. It has sharp teeth and claws and great strength. It can tear a person to pieces with one bite. Even if more than a dozen of your older brothers came, they might not be able to kill it."
"I didn't mean anything by it, I was just asking out of curiosity."
She was quite self-aware and didn't think about getting rich by relying on tigers. With her small... chubby body, she was just a food delivery person.
Xiao Yunsong climbed down the ladder, patted the water droplets off his clothes, and said, "It looks like it'll rain again soon. The mud on the roof won't dry in time, so I'll use a straw mat to block it for now. I'll come back and fix it for you when the weather clears up."
"Thank you for your hard work, eldest brother and second brother."
"Don't be so polite with me, brother. I'm leaving now. It's starting to rain again."
Raindrops began to fall from the sky. Xiao Yunying did not try to stop her: "Big brother, second brother, hurry back and change your clothes. I won't keep you."
"Alright, you can go in now, we're leaving."
The two brothers carried the ladder away. Xiao Yunying waited until the rain got heavier and then went to check on the children's room. It was no longer leaking.
Pour out the water from the wooden basins and buckets and put them back in the kitchen to prevent them from getting damp in the house.
