Chapter 398: Everyone is trying hard to live
Hai Lan looked at the space spirit that was throwing a tantrum in front of Su Nuan and said helplessly, "What good will it do you if the space is unlocked? Are you so impatient?"
The space spirit's rolling body froze, and she climbed up with a thoughtful look on her face.
However, the space spirit couldn't come up with a reason after thinking for a long time. She spread her hands and said, "I don't know."
Hai Lan said calmly: "You are just used to your previous life and haven't adapted to your current life yet."
The space spirit was silent, and finally nodded, "If I hadn't worked hard before, I would have died at any time."
When Su Nuan heard the Space Spirit say this, she stroked the Space Spirit's head with her fingers with some heartache.
"Okay, as long as it doesn't delay other important matters, your request will be granted."
The space spirit hugged Su Nuan's fingers and rubbed them, "Master is the best."
Su Nuan could only go to the cave with the space spirit. The power source should be in the middle, so it would be closer to go through the cave.
Hai Lan commanded the fifty people to build a wall, and the outside was covered with thorny vines, so people in the distance could not see clearly what was going on inside.
Once someone gets close, Hai Lan will notice it and organize people to hide.
That's why Su Nuan didn't worry about being seen. She entered the cave and used a detector to find the middle position.
After searching for a long time, she found that the middle position was three meters away from the cave. She dug the ground and pried open the floor tiles to go down.
There is a round column with gears at the bottom, which is rotating slowly.
But she didn't see anything that could make the pillar turn, so she could only continue digging down.
After digging, she finally saw what was causing the pillar to rotate.
"Wow... who the hell did this? That's so clever."
The space spirit said disappointedly: "So it's water power. The groundwater in this place is very abundant."
Su Nuan knew what she was disappointed about and comforted her with a smile, "It's okay, we will definitely find other energy sources."
The space spirit nodded, "Okay."
Su Nuan watched the water gushing out from the ground, pushing the fan blades on the pillar to turn.
She said, "Go to the entrance and take a look. When you get to the direction we came down from, tell me and I'll cut off the water flow."
The space spirit nodded, "Okay."
Su Nuan stared at the water flow. It was spraying up from the ground. All she had to do was find a lid to cover the water outlet and let the water flow out from the other end of the sink.
After a long time, the voice of the space spirit entered Su Nuan's mind, "We're here."
Su Nuan immediately covered it with the steel plate found in the space, and then nailed it with wooden pegs. There were iron chains between the wooden pegs to firmly fix the steel plate.
After dealing with the water problem, she returned to the passage.
The space spirit said, "Fortunately, I was smart and knew that things that start moving won't stop easily. I called you just as I reached the opening."
"Look, we're in the perfect position now. If we're any later, you might not be able to climb up."
Su Nuan nodded, "Yeah, you're the smartest."
She responded while resting on the spot, then returned to the cave to explore again.
In fact, the passage below was more than enough to accommodate the people in the North now. She found a place next to the cave and opened an entrance, then went down and dug through the passage in the center.
The space spirit said, "This doesn't seem to work. If someone starts a fire down there, there will only be one exit and it will cause congestion."
Su Nuan nodded, "You're right. We need to separate the male and female areas downstairs, otherwise it will be really difficult to manage if things get chaotic."
She thought for a moment and opened three more holes in the cave, marking suitable entrances outside the three holes.
The opening outside made Ling Cang decide whether to dig or not. Although it would not rain during the dry season, it was still necessary to prevent snakes, insects, rats and ants from entering.
By the time Su Nuan finished dealing with these things, it was already getting dark and the buns she had eaten at noon had long been digested.
The space spirit asked: "Going back?"
Su Nuan nodded, "Let's go see Hai Lan first."
When Su Nuan arrived at the manor, she almost dropped her jaw in shock. The entire manor was surrounded by bricks. She had used two huge living willow trees as doorposts for the gate. Now the door that was blocked by thorn vines had been cleaned and could be used after installing the door panels.
The Space Spirit said, "It feels like something is still missing."
Su Nuan asked, "This is already very good. What else is missing? I'm worried about one thing now. The wall is thin. Although cement can make it stronger, I'm afraid that thorns will grow quickly and push down the wet wall."
The space spirit also nodded, "Come with me, let's go into the space first."
Su Nuan followed her in suspiciously. There was no change in the space. She didn't know what the space spirit wanted to show her.
The space spirit shouted, "Follow me."
Su Nuan followed the space spirit out of the courtyard. If the river was used as the dividing line, then the house only occupied a quarter of the space.
This quarter is also very large, with houses and various medicinal fields. The farmland has been moved to the other side of the river.
The space spirit shouted, "Come here quickly."
Su Nuan ran over in confusion. There were only green leaves on the mud pond where the lotus was planted, and the flowers had not yet bloomed.
The edge of the pond was shiny, and I didn't know what was paved on it.
She asked, "What kind of rocks are those on the bank of the pond? They look pretty nice."
The space spirit said, "It's not a stone. Don't you remember what you collected before?"
Su Nuan shook her head. "I collected so many things, how can I remember them all?"
The Space Spirit chuckled, "Don't you remember that slime?"
Su Nuan remembered, "I remember, didn't I put it in a bottle? Oh, I wonder if it's dehydrated."
The space spirit laughed and said, "Your piece of cloth can't stop it. It has already come out and wandered around on its own. In fact, the pond was dug for it."
Ever since Hai Lan came into being, Su Nuan rarely paid attention to the changes in the space. She even thought that digging a pond was just for growing lotus roots or something like that.
The space spirit continued, "Slimes are creatures that live in swamps. Most of them have no intelligence and can survive in water. This is the first time I've seen one like this."
Su Nuan nodded. "That little thing is quite cute. If it's harmless, just keep it. All living things in the world are trying hard to survive. Any help we can give is appreciated."
The space spirit chuckled and said, "That thing is useful. You'll know when you get there."
Su Nuan walked to the edge of the pond suspiciously and saw a layer of glass-colored water floating on the ground. She tried to step on it and found it was very hard.
"Huh? There's soil underneath, but it feels like stepping on stones."
The space spirit said, "This is the mucus secreted by the slime. It becomes very hard when it dries. If you put it in your manor, it will definitely make your walls as strong as steel."
Su Nuan frowned and asked, "But there are a lot of thorns outside the wall. What if it gets damaged?"
The Space Spirit laughed and said, "The characteristic of slime is that it can split. It's not afraid of thorns, but it is afraid of not having water to replenish its body fluids."
Su Nuan thought of the big hole left by collecting the stones. She left the space and ran to the edge of the hole and asked, "What should we do about this?"
