Chapter 129 Plantation House
Chen Fa mentioned Wu Shaoshan's matter. Because he was just sending a message, he was unable to explain in detail. He only said that Wu Shaoshan contacted her with the same mobile phone she had before. But because they were now used to using satellite phones and the electricity in the county was limited in time and quantity, Chen Fa only checked that phone once every three or four days. As a result, he missed the moment his partner sent him a message, just like Chen Fa missed the moment to reply to Shu Fu's message this time.
There were several missed calls from the other party, as well as WeChat messages and messages from her, asking her about the situation in Cham County, saying that he wanted to go to Cham County and whether he could still live with her as before.
Because Wu Shaoshan had been moving with her parents and family all the way, Chen Fa was a little surprised when he saw the news.
Afterwards she replied to the message, but the other party did not reply. She called him, but found that Wu Shaoshan's phone was turned off.
The whole thing happened more than a week ago. She couldn't wait any longer. She knew Wu Shaoshan and felt that something had happened to her. In addition, because she didn't check her phone in time, she neglected Wu Shaoshan and missed her first call for help, so she decided to go to Kangsu County where Wu Shaoshan was in person.
If possible, she planned to find Wu Shaoshan and bring her directly back to Cham County.
Xizhou Province is now crowded and chaotic. The situation in cities or counties may be better, but it is hard to say what the situation will be on the road. If everything goes well, nothing will happen. When things go badly, natural disasters and man-made disasters will take turns to occur. A single car on the road will inevitably be targeted. If you want to go to another place safely, it is best to sign up for an official fleet.
This type of fleet is naturally paid, but even with a fee, one still has to queue up for a date, just like Yao Ruoyun, who had to wait for a long time to get a date when they moved from Zhicheng to Dari County.
Naturally, Chen Fa couldn't wait any longer now, but she also didn't want to drive by herself and become a target of certain people, so she joined a private fleet, which was more expensive and provided less safety.
However, both she and her grandmother were martial artists, and with the help of backpack slots, rafts, and the strongest weapon among all the awakened ones that Shu Fu knew of so far, as well as the principle of keeping a low profile, they set off immediately.
In this situation, Shu Fu didn't know whether she should tell the other party about her situation at this time, but Chen Fa also understood her. After telling her about Wu Shaoshan's situation, he asked her directly if one of the good news was that the screen restrictions were gone and she could go to Xizhou Province?
She smiled comfortably. The other party's question was exactly the same as Lu Zheng's. It seemed that they both knew her very well.
So she typed quickly and replied directly: The barrier should be gone, but I am in deep water now, so I still need a verification result. But no matter what the verification result is, I don’t plan to live on land in the future. Do you and grandma want to live on the water with me?
Shu Fu's message didn't even explain the trailer and shield, but Chen Fa responded quickly: "Okay, actually I wanted to live on the water, the living space on the shore is getting smaller and smaller. You don't know that in the past few months, survivors have continued to arrive in Chamu County, and now the population of this small mountain county is ten times that of when we first arrived! I also understand that the higher the water level, the less land there is, and it is inevitable that the living space will be squeezed. Since we are different from ordinary survivors and have a raft that can live on the water, why should we compete with others for living space on the shore?"
We live on the water. The rafts are strong and resistant to extreme temperatures. We can find a water area with a cliff behind us and live there according to the weather. If something goes wrong, we can move at any time. So, wait for me for a while. I will go to Kangsu County to find Wu Shaoshan and see if she is willing to live on the water with us. If she is willing, we will find a way to get a smaller container house. Today's container houses are made of newly developed materials. They are warm in winter and cool in summer. They can resist hail and are very strong!
Although Chen Fa did not send any exciting words, she sent two messages in a row, and her happy mood could be seen between the lines.
This made Shu Fu stop the message she originally wanted to send. She decided to keep it a secret for now and give her a big surprise when they met.
So, she re-edited the message and told her that Lu Zheng had decided to live on the water one day in advance, and they were packing up and preparing to travel east to Gongmang County. They would first stop by Kangsu County to find them on the way, and asked her to pay attention to the phone call in a few days.
At the same time, she sent a message to Lu Zheng, saying that Chen Fa had also confirmed that she was living on the water, but she had not yet told her about the trailer.
After a moment, Lu Zheng replied: Don't worry, I understand, I will also tell my brother, you can tell him the surprise in person.
Having just gained his freedom, Shu Fu had planned to spend a few more days in deep waters, and might even continue eastward to deeper waters.
But now, her friends were waiting for her, and she was thinking about this matter, so after two days on the water, she started to return.
In the past two days, her automatic water fishing rod not only harvested some gold and jewelry, but also a lot of normal seafood. She put them into the space in frames. Although she told them that she could not provide food and water supplies, some surprises were still needed.
Chen Fa and Lu Zheng were both going to Kangsu County, so Shu Fu's plan was to go to the waters near Dari County to pick up Yao Ruoyun first.
There are still many mountainous areas with high altitudes in the area north of Xiangzhou Province, close to Xizhou Province, so she can't go in a straight line and has to take a detour by water.
After the destination was set, the flight started quickly. The entire journey is more than 3,500 kilometers and will arrive in 35 hours.
**
35 hours later.
When Shu Fu returned to the Yinsha River again, his mood was completely different. The last time he was preparing for the possibility of separation, but this time he was rushing to reunite.
The middle and lower reaches of the Yinsha River almost disappeared, merging with the surrounding waters, and the width of the upper reaches increased three or four times, like a huge and bulky river.
If the water level continues to rise for a while, even the upper reaches will have to be renamed Yinsha Lake.
After she set off, she called Yao Ruoyun, whose voice was shaking with excitement. She also told Shu Fu a piece of news that she already knew: her mother had indeed awakened, and in addition to the other backpack compartments and golden fingers like her, she also had an umbrella.
The umbrella looks like an ordinary umbrella, black in color, and looks ordinary, but when it is opened, people hiding under the umbrella can safely avoid natural disasters that are occurring, such as heavy rain, hurricanes, hail, thunderstorms and the like. Of course, people must be on land when using it, otherwise it will be useless if they fall into the water.
However, this umbrella is not big and can only protect two people at a time, and can only be used for 2 hours each time. After the 2 hours of usage, there will be a 72-hour CD time.
Just like before, Yao Ruoyun explained the situation before Shu Fu even asked. She then sent her another message to quietly tell her that she always felt that this umbrella could only protect two people at the same time, which was related to the fact that she and her mother came from the same world.
In the past few months, Yao Ruoyun occasionally had some new memory fragments. She was 100% sure that in that world, Hua Qiong was a single mother, and their world was just the mother and daughter who depended on each other.
More than once, she saw her mother in that world working hard in her memory fragments. However, she herself was not good at studying and did not study seriously. She suddenly started chasing stars and lied to ask for leave for important classes. In the end, she had to go to the airport to pick up and drop off students. It was like she was sick...
She herself couldn't bear to look at herself like that.
Shu Fu: ...
When Yao Ruoyun mentioned star-chasing, a person inexplicably flashed through Shu Fu's mind, although - the face might not be the same.
However, because she was sure that Hua Qiong was a single mother in that world, Yao Ruoyun could relax when facing her father in this world. After all, if she and her mother formed a family with another person while she had a father in another world, it would be weird no matter how she thought about it.
Shu Fu quickly found Yao Ruoyun's raft in the waters of heavy rain according to the real-time location sent by Yao Ruoyun via satellite phone. Her raft was still the same as before, without manually adding a terrace or sails, probably because she didn't have the conditions to do so.
She called Yao Ruoyun to let her know that she had arrived.
"Are you there? Where are you? Why can't I see you?" It was almost night time now. The other party disliked the small window and the poor view, so he opened the door directly. He didn't care that it was raining heavily outside, and stood at the door and stuck his head out to look around.
"You can't see me for the time being, so go back first and let me try it first. Don't hang up." It was Shu Fu's first time towing and she had no experience, so she didn't know how long it would take.
In fact, she was right next to Yao Ruoyun's raft, but because the protective shield was turned on, the other party would ignore her raft even if they saw it. In the past few days, she has been maintaining the original shape of the cabin. The drifting island house is smaller and more convenient to operate.
She first parked the raft in front of Yao Ruoyun's raft according to the towing position diagram in her memory, then she stood at the back door and opened the towing bar on the function screen.
Afterwards, she clicked on [Towing Location 1] and selected [Yao Ruoyun's Raft].
The function screen pops up and asks: Are you sure you want [Yao Ruoyun's raft] to enter [Towing position 1]?
Note: Once towing is completed, [Yao Ruoyun's Raft] will default to the attached raft of [Unsinkable Drifting Island House].
[Yao Ruoyun's Raft] cannot be put into [Yao Ruoyun's Backpack], and when [Unsinkable Drifting Island House] is put away, [Yao Ruoyun's Raft] will also be put away. (If you need to temporarily untow the raft under special circumstances, you can do so through the "Attached Raft Holiday Card".)
The owner of the [Unsinkable Drifting Island House], Shu Fu, has the owner's authority in all raft areas. Any behavior that is judged as [attacking the owner] in all raft areas will trigger the [threat clearing] function, and the [attacker] will be directly ejected from the raft area.
Towing a raft requires the consent of both parties, and untowing can be unilaterally carried out by Shu Fu, the owner of the [Unsinkable Drifting Island House].
This was the first time Shu Fu had seen such a long and complicated set of notes, and there was also a new type of card in it that she had not drawn yet - the attached raft holiday card.
After reading all the precautions, she immediately sighed in her heart, wow, this is a completely one-sided and unfair treaty.
This is equivalent to originally thinking that you were just staying with them, but the other party ended up adopting you, changing your name, and even installing an automatic pop-up device to prevent you from getting angry!
Shu Fu originally wanted to read this note carefully to Yao Ruoyun on the other end of the phone, but it was obvious that she was not the only one who received this message. Because towing a raft required the consent of both parties, such notes and inquiries also popped up on Yao Ruoyun's personal panel.
"I agree!" Yao Ruoyun confirmed without hesitation. What was there to consider? After seeing Shu Fu's luxurious raft, her small raft was nothing! She was also afraid that Shu Fu would change his mind and refuse to be the first to tow her raft!
As for the attack, she just passed it by. She wasn't sick, so why would she attack Shu Fu?
Besides, it is clearly written above that if you encounter special circumstances, there are still ways to temporarily resolve it!
On the other side, Shu Fu also pressed confirm.
Probably because the other party's raft was parked in the right place, two or three seconds after she pressed the confirmation button, her raft began to move. After a slight adjustment of the direction and distance, the screen refreshed -
[Towing location 1: Yao Ruoyun's raft (bond value: 90). [Starting shared function: Option 1 (not yet selected); Option 2: (not yet selected); Option 3: (not yet selected)] [Special: None]]
On the plan view of the towing water area, the plan view of another raft appeared at [Towing Position 1]. The front deck was very large, but the rear deck was almost non-existent. The entire raft was twice the size of the small raft in front.
She thought about it and clicked on the raft image at [Trailer Position 1] on the floor plan again. A question popped up on the screen immediately asking her if she wanted to enter the option to untie the trailer raft.
It is true.
Shu Fu, who knew that the experiment was successful, chose no. She picked up the phone and asked Yao Ruoyun to open the door and try to see if she could see her raft.
"No, I still can't see your raft." After checking, Yao Ruoyun closed the door in disappointment.
Shu Fu nodded, then returned to the starting sharing function page and selected a protective shield for Yao Ruoyun in the [Choice 1] column.
Afterwards, she picked up the phone and asked Yao Ruoyun to open the door again to see if there were any changes on the raft.
The raft door facing the back door of the Drifting Island house opened again. Yao Ruoyun held the phone and tentatively stuck her head out. Soon, she showed an expression of great surprise and rushed out.
"Senior! The rain has stopped! No, no! The rain is outside! The heavy rain is isolated outside! Ah - I saw your raft! Hey, why is it this small raft?"
"..." Shu Fu confirmed that the towed raft still could not see her raft inside the protective shield, but as long as the sharing function was selected, the other party's raft would be inside the protective shield and they would be able to see each other.
Before she could say anything else, Yao Ruoyun had already run across the deck of her raft, crossed the water that separated the two rafts, and got onto the rear deck of her raft. Unfortunately, she was still blocked outside the eaves by the invisible air wall.
"Why can't I get in..." Yao Ruoyun sighed.
Shu Fu opened the door and walked out of the eaves: "It should be similar to the relationship between the main directory and the sub-directory."
Or as Chen Fa said - backward compatibility, no matter whether it is towing or sharing the protective shield, the owner's area is always her private domain.
Perhaps in the future there will be new function cards that allow visitors into the house temporarily, but this is just speculation at this point.
Yao Ruoyun nodded and hummed twice indifferently, her hand already wrapped around her arm, indicating that her mother had learned that she was going to meet her, and had made a lot of bubble wontons in the past few days, and stored them in her backpack. She asked her to go home with her to get them first.
"Wait, the towing isn't over yet!" Shu Fu said, pulling out four blue cards with beautifully embossed patterns and asking her which one she wanted to choose.
Yao Ruoyun looked at it in confusion, then looked at Shu Fu a little uneasily: "Senior sister, why are you looking at the air for me?"
Shu Fu: ...
She also just realized that the non-physical prizes from the bracelet lottery wheel cannot be seen by others.
"Hotel? Plantation? Snack bar? Breeding house? What do you mean?" Yao Ruoyun looked confused.
"You're my first trailer. I have some guesses, but I haven't verified them." Shu Fu asked, "Have you ever played business mobile games before?"
Yao Ruoyun:……?
**
Yao Ruoyun’s final choice was: planting.
This was the common choice of their family of three. After all, they had two rafts. After Shu Fu expressed that the other raft should be able to be towed in the future, they would have another choice in the future.
And "snack bar" is naturally another business they would like to choose, after all, it is their old business.
But at the moment, "planting" is the most important and meaningful thing. In addition, Yao Ruoyun had originally thought about getting a container and nutrient soil on the raft and building a raft planting area by himself. So when he found out that he could directly upgrade his raft into a planting raft, he naturally chose this without thinking.
"I haven't tried it, so I can't guarantee the effect. It's possible that after you equip it, even the cabin you live in now will be gone." Shu Fu opened the back door, walked in, and reminded again before swiping the card.
"It's okay, senior sister, be brave! At worst, you can untug my raft and tow my mother's raft instead! Just go for it!"
“……”Yeah, I can be so willful when I have so many rafts at home.
Shu Fu no longer hesitated, put away the other three blue cards, and swiped the blue first prize card with "Upgrade Set (Planting)" written on it on the function screen on the back door.
The screen made a beeping sound and a subtitle popped up on the screen: It has been detected that "1" has used the medium. Do you confirm to use the [Upgrade Set (Planting)] on [Yao Ruoyun's Raft]?
Shu Fu pressed the confirm button, and instantly, the card in her hand disappeared and a new message appeared on the screen.
[Towing location 1: Yao Ruoyun's raft (bond value: 90). [Starting shared function: Select 1 (protective shield); Select 2: (not yet selected); Select 3: (not yet selected)]
[Special: Upgrade Set (Planting)] [Note: When the raft is untethered (excluding the release of the "Attached Raft Holiday Card"), the upgrade set will automatically peel off and disappear, and the upgraded level will be reset to zero]]
Sure enough, she guessed correctly. The blue first prize of this upgrade set was specially used on the towed raft, and as a special category, it could be upgraded individually, which verified her "nesting doll" statement.
The raft in the towing position can be released at any time, but after release, the accumulated towing time will be reset to zero, and new shared functions cannot be accumulated. At the same time, the upgrade suit and the upgraded level will also disappear.
No wonder the "Attached Raft Holiday Card" appeared in the previous towing precautions. It turns out that it is used in conjunction with a special upgrade set. That is to say, "unattaching" the "Attached Raft Holiday Card" will not cause the towing time to be reset to zero or the upgrade set to peel off and disappear.
This was equivalent to giving her "subsidiary raft" a holiday with her permission.
In general, whether the raft was towed or not, or whether it was released or not, it would not cause any major losses to either her or the other party.
But once the Upgrade Set Card is used, if the raft wants to completely remove the trailer one day, it will be cleared and left, returning to its original raft cabin state, and she will also lose a blue first prize card.
In other words, if you don't trust someone completely, it's best not to use the upgrade set before the other person has made up their mind.
Fortunately, the friends who are currently planning to tow the trailer are all people she trusts very much.
Shu Fu was still browsing the function screen when she suddenly heard Yao Ruoyun's scream from the raft at the back door, with joy and disbelief. Shu Fu walked out of the drifting island house again, and Yao Ruoyun's raft was on the left rear side of her raft deck.
When the other family of three was discussing which upgrade kit to use, she had already done some experiments. For example, if she let her raft drift, the other raft would always stay in the water area at the left rear side of her raft [Towing Position 1] in a fixed mode.
There was no physical towing rope between the decks of the two rafts, and there was even a 15-centimeter gap between them, half a stride, which was almost negligible. After all, even if an adult fell, he would not fall into the gap.
But no matter whether her raft moved forward or backward, turned left or right, or even sneaked, Yao Ruoyun's raft always fell steadily behind her, as if it was fixed and towed by several invisible ropes.
Especially when diving, in fact, she only dived half a meter before returning to the surface. This action was mainly to test her previous guess. At that time, the other family of three were still discussing in the house and did not notice that the whole process was over.
Although she had imagined it before, she was still very surprised to actually confirm that the Drifting Island House could take the other party's raft into the water.
She could already imagine that after Chen Fa and Lu Zheng's raft was towed, she would be able to tow them along for the ride, whether above or below the surface.
At this moment, the raft that was only half a step away from her had changed a lot. It was still about the same size as before, but the original one-story cabin had become a slightly larger two-story cabin with a triangular glass roof.
The original wooden walls and doors have been replaced by large lattice floor-to-ceiling glass. You can see that the house is divided into left and right sides. The left two-thirds is the living space, and the right one-third and the second floor are planting areas. The interior space is obviously larger than it looks from the outside, and it should have become a compressed space.
A small glass greenhouse was added to the originally empty front deck. It was also a compressed space, and the boxes and grids for hydroponics and soil cultivation were clearly visible.
After Yao Ruoyun selected the type of upgrade suit, she was originally standing on the deck of her raft, so when the raft changed, she only felt the light and shadow changing in front of her eyes. A moment later, she found herself in a brand new glass greenhouse, and her parents also walked out of the living room of the two-story wooden house with great surprise.
For them, after a few seconds of light and shadow changes, the raft and cabin they were in suddenly changed so much, and the intuitive visual impact brought great surprise and shock.
"Senior! Come here quickly!"
Shu Fu stepped onto their newly renovated raft amid Yao Ruoyun's call. The glass greenhouse had front and back doors and a middle aisle, so one could walk straight through.
Inside the greenhouse, the left side is filled with stacked shelves with transparent glass boxes placed on them, as if waiting for the owner to plant things. On the right side are long strips of dirt flower beds surrounded by wooden strips. The black soil looks very fertile.
The triangular glass roofs of the greenhouse and the cabin are covered with large electric panels, presumably for indoor cultivation.
She knew that there were already several technologies in reality that allowed solar panels to generate electricity even on rainy days, such as the use of graphene, so when she saw these, she thought they were all solar panels that could generate their own electricity.
But later she found out that these were battery panels, which could automatically store electrical energy when the raft had power, making it convenient to maintain the light and temperature needed by some plants 24 hours a day when the raft was out of power.
Yes, although Yao Ruoyun’s raft has been equipped with an upgraded set, it cannot replicate Shu Fu’s drifting island house 100%, and it does not have the characteristic of constant temperature. Except for the compressed space, other basic functions are still similar to the previous raft house.
The stairs to the two-story wooden house are at the back of the house. The second floor is also a triangular glass house filled with shelves, large and small planting boxes, and various tools.
Shu Fu is a clumsy person and doesn't know how to plant, but Yao Ruoyun's parents obviously do. The two of them are really happy at the moment. They look here and there, and are already discussing what to plant and where.
"We have all the tools here, now we just need the seeds!" Yao Guofan, Yao's father, exclaimed happily as he looked at the glass triangular house with a huge interior space, "The height here is high enough, we can plant grapes by putting up poles!"
"It seems we still have to go back to Dari County." Hua Qiong nodded.
When Shu Fu heard this, he remembered something and took out a large flat cardboard box from the space.
"What is this?" Yao Ruoyun came over skipping.
Shu Fu opened the lid of the carton, revealing a hundred neatly arranged glass jars inside. She said, "Seeds, vegetable and fruit seeds. There are 100 kinds of seeds here. Should that be enough for now?"
Yao Ruoyun: ! !
Yao's father and mother: ! !
