Chen Nong said, "That's right! We were chosen by our ancestors to replenish our divine power. What's wrong with going back to rest? It's so cold outside. If we just wait here, we'll freeze to death!"
The man laughed and said, "No, that's not what I meant. I might have some misunderstanding about divine power."
Watching these children, wrapped in wolf-skin coats, shivering, climbing up and down to build a house in the cold wind, I suddenly understood.
Gods and goddesses are ultimately just mortal beings, just like them.
On the team's side, Village Chief Xu had already begun arranging for people to rest in the newly built houses.
The three houses are large; the roofs of two houses have already been built, while the roof of the third house is still under construction.
The elderly, children, and pregnant women went first, with separate rooms for men and women.
The other room will be reserved for patients and the wounded to rest.
Everyone stared at the three large houses, stunned for a long time, and exclaimed in shock, "They conjured up three large houses in just the time it takes to eat a meal? That's incredible!"
Many people murmured, "May our ancestors bless us! May our ancestors bless us!"
A young man had already led his men to build two houses, with straw mats laid out on both sides inside, leaving a passageway in the middle, and a row of braziers placed there for everyone to keep warm.
The braziers were made of wood and stone pots, filled with some wood ash, some burned charcoal, and some burned burning firewood.
"Line up, pregnant women in front, three adults per bamboo mat, six children per mat, take your turn, no fighting for seats," the boy directed.
Upon hearing this, everyone stood with their close friends and lined up in an orderly fashion to go inside.
Although the house was spacious, there were too many people, and it couldn't fit everyone in.
Those who didn't get a spot weren't discouraged; at this rate of construction, it would be their turn to move in soon.
As soon as the pregnant women were assigned a bamboo mat, their families came over with bedding and hand warmers.
The three families are all on good terms with each other, so it's easy to allocate resources.
One family's blanket was used as a mattress, while the other two families used theirs as blankets.
Then send another young maid to watch over them in turns.
The children lay comfortably in their blankets, sheltered from the cold wind, and fell asleep after chatting for a short while.
Some of the older women, unable to stay idle, took out the cloth they had traded that day, cut it up, and prepared to sew cotton-padded jackets.
Some old women also came out of the house to help out in the rooms next door where the roofs were not yet finished.
Village Chief Xu and Village Chief Wu distributed the tools, divided into two teams, and led people to dig the foundation of the wall.
Village Chief Wu led his men to start digging from the mountain, while Village Chief Xu led his men to dig from the foot of the mountain.
The old women and women resting at the foot of the mountain saw that all the laborers in the team had gone out to work, so many of them took their tools and followed them.
An old woman shouted, "Let's go help! The Chen and Bai families borrowed divine power to build houses for everyone. We should also do our part and not just sit around waiting."
My son told me that the big house didn't just appear out of thin air; it was built piece by piece by the gods. They're still doing hard labor, so there's no reason for us to just sit here and relax.”
A woman said, “Let’s go, let’s get to work. I’ve heard that the divine power of the gods is also limited. While the divine power is still there, let’s all help each other to finish building the house as soon as possible.”
"Yes, hurry up and help! If we wait until the divine power is exhausted, it won't be so easy to build such a big stone house!" an old woman urged.
A cold wind was blowing, and under the chilly moonlight, everyone was busy opening up mountain roads, digging ditches, and transporting soil.
This time, Daya was very unlucky and fell into the rainforest again.
They had originally planned to strip some leather clothes off the savages and leave, but the savage priest beat them so badly they almost lost their lives.
With her life at stake, Daya fled while simultaneously avoiding the savages' sacrificial rituals.
After eating seven servings of cherries, her health bar was fully restored. Looking towards the road home, Daya ran as fast as she could.
Only after running to the edge of the rainforest did Daya dare to cautiously collect some supplies.
Seeing a pottery jar in front of her, she remembered what her uncle had told her, and hardened her heart to smash the jar.
Congratulations on receiving 1 piece of raw pork belly.
Daya was thrilled; she hadn't expected that breaking the can would actually yield food.
"Knock knock knock—"
Upon hearing this sound, Daya turned pale with fright and ran away as fast as she could.
It was another highly aggressive savage priest; she couldn't defeat her!
After leaving the rainforest, Daya thought it would take a long time to find her way home, but to her surprise, she arrived home after crossing just three mountains.
Back at the plantation, Daya discovered a serious problem: the forest behind the mountain had changed, and the rainforest on the west side of the river was slowly spreading toward the plantation.
In the distance, on the river, you can see savage priests flying high in the sky, patrolling their territory.
The animals near the house have all disappeared; if you want to hunt, you'll have to go much farther.
Daya went to the chicken coop to collect eggs and corn seeds, scolding, "Silly girl! This is what you mean by 'updating is good,' that it will increase the number of animals and food."
Where did they all go? There's not even a chicken to be seen around here!
System: "Host, there have been increases."
Da Ya retorted angrily, "You liar! What else can you do besides blatantly lying?"
The crops in the field were not yet ripe. After planting the corn seeds, Daya went to the craftsman's table to see if she could make a water bucket.
Wooden bucket: Used with water, it can be used to obtain a water-holding wooden bucket.
Synthesis recipe: 2 refined iron ingots and 2 fruitwood planks.
Seeing that she could finally synthesize it, Daya quickly synthesized a wooden bucket, then carried it to the river, filled it with water, and used it to fill the ditch she had dug earlier.
One bucket of water cannot fill a ditch; several trips are required.
Having a container to hold water made Daya feel much better.
"Silly girl, if I fill a wooden bucket with water and put it in the storage box, can I take the water out with me?"
"Yes, host."
"After the wooden barrels are taken out, can I ask Chen Nong to bring more wooden barrels back in for use?"
There aren't many refined iron ingots; they can't be used to make many wooden barrels. It would be great if they could be recycled.
"No, host. Once the things from this world are taken out, they can't be brought back in."
Even if the host manages to retrieve the wooden barrel using the spatial glitch, it won't be able to hold water, nor can it be placed in the storage box, or even in a backpack. After two days, it will simply be automatically deleted by the system.
"Oh, I see. This is really troublesome!"
With a sigh, Daya combined the remaining four iron ingots into two wooden buckets, filled them with water, and put them into her storage box.
A bucket of water takes up a whole space, which is quite inconvenient.
This little bit of water isn't enough for everyone, so it seems she'll have to go mining.
Silly Girl suddenly said, "If the host wants to take water out, it's more convenient to use an iron bucket."
Water in a wooden bucket, when taken out, is just a normal bucket of water.
The water in the iron drum can release 1 cubic meter of water when taken out.
However, once the water in the metal drum is drained, it becomes like a normal metal drum, capable of holding only one bucket of water.
Daya gritted her teeth and said, "Why didn't you say so sooner!"
It was intentional, wasn't it? She only told me after she'd used up all the iron ingots!
