Chapter 6 6. Building a House
It is indeed a big problem to bring back such a large bag of leaves and vines quietly from Area 8 of the Rose Corridor.
Fortunately, the vines were still flexible. Huaiyu sneaked in first, then grunted and pulled them all in little by little like squeezing sausages.
It only needs to be dragged for another 29 districts, a straight-line distance of more than three kilometers, to return to the residential area she has chosen.
Help, help! It's too far! She stood there blankly, the early spring sun tanned her cheeks red, her hair still stuck to her face, but her mind was full of the car she saw last night -
I want it so badly! I really want it!
But right now…
"The snail carries its heavy shell and crawls step by step..." She hummed a song while panting. She didn't know how long she had been crawling before she returned to the foundation.
The foundation was still the same, the bricks and stones in the ruins were still in a mess, and the grass sprouts growing in the middle were tender and green and yellow. She knelt in the tunnel and crawled forward, and sure enough, she saw her sleeping bag at the end of the bricks and stones.
It is maroon in color, with dried petals scattered around.
She silently put the sleeping bag back to its original place, then climbed out again and looked at the vast land again. For some reason, she felt a sense of "home".
Huaiyu thought about it silently, then nodded affirmatively - yes, the land is his, so it is normal to have a home of 600 acres, right?
She is so weak and doesn't have much ability. It's normal for her to wake up from a 200-square-meter bed every day and have 200 male servants, right? But now the male servants are not yet...
A breeze blew by, and pink rose petals covered his face. Huaiyu puffed up his cheeks silently.
All right, all right! The air is getting more humid and it will rain in two days. She has to hurry up and build the house!
…
Building a house is actually quite simple.
It's just a bit tiring to dig the hole with branches.
Especially since she was not very strong, she grunted and poked, turned and dug at the yellow earth ground, and it took her a long time to dig out a shallow hole.
The branches were only about ten centimeters deep.
How can it be used as a fixed bracket at this height? Huaiyu was a little angry.
It's amazing that she can build a house, she can't ask her to do all these tasks at the same time!
So he just broke off the flexible branch from the wisteria tree and stuck it into the ground: "Hurry up, hurry up, take root, dig deeper..."
He clenched his hands together and blushed again:
"Um--"
A cool breath surged out of the body and flowed into the wisteria branches from the palms of his hands.
But it didn't last long, and soon, Huaiyu let go, gasping for breath.
Her hand had loosened, but the branch did not tilt. Instead, it was visibly arching and sinking deeply.
At the same time, a slightly bulging bud on the branch also quickly sprouted, broke open, stretched out its branches and leaves... and continued to extend forward, becoming thicker and stronger, and finally grew into a solid vine with a diameter of about two centimeters! Huai Yu jumped up instantly! The small hole that had been dug out with great effort had disappeared, leaving only an extremely full branch standing there motionless, obviously with deep roots.
She grabbed the branch with both hands and pulled hard, but her palms were rubbed red and the branch didn't move at all, just like when she was tormenting the wisteria mother plant in the mountains.
"Wow……"
She became happy: It's so strong, once it's built into a skeleton, it won't fall down even in strong winds or heavy rains!
but……
She looked at the shallow grooves she had drawn on the ground and realized that if she wanted to build a decent house, the 30 vines she had broken off had to grow in the same way.
…
"Um--"
"Um--"
"Um--"
Huaiyu squatted there, his face flushed, trying his best. The sweat on his forehead soaked down, sticking his fluffy hair to it, making him look even more embarrassed.
She spent the entire afternoon trying to make the wisteria grow, but the strength in her body was too weak, and she had to rest for a long time after each one grew.
By the time I was halfway through inducing labor, I was already dizzy and starving.
She knelt on the ground with a grunt, crawled back to the tunnel skillfully, and took out a bag of nutrient solution from her sleeping bag.
This time I can see clearly that it says various trace elements, but the main ingredient is some mutant wheat starch...
"?"
She frowned, not daring to think that she had to drink something that looked like something that was not a good thing at first glance after working so hard.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
But, I'm really hungry! I'm so tired and hungry! This world is so unfair to her. She even has to build her own house. Why don't they give her two hundred male servants? Just one will do!
She swallowed the sour and strange nutrient "paste" in her mouth with grievance, as if she was chewing a wooden thermos stopper that had been used for more than 10 years.
After a short rest, the sun gradually sank, casting an orange-red sunset on the horizon.
Huaiyu climbed out again, sighed, and while recovering his strength, he bent down the wisteria branch planted in the middle to use as the main fishbone.
Then, the symmetrical vines on both sides were tightened and intertwined around the "fishbone", like the shape of "丰", and the frame was slowly built while they were being induced to grow.
When the sun had completely set in the dark field, she used up her last bit of strength to tightly wrap the last two symmetrical vines at the archway.
Perhaps it was because too much strength was used, or perhaps the part that served as the arch was smaller than the previous fishbone, so that when the induction was completed, the side of the wisteria branch actually made several indescribable noises.
Huaiyu looked over in surprise, but saw that after the sound, a flower branch quickly emerged, and then a flower bud appeared...
After a while, three clusters of plump wisteria flowers bloomed!
At this moment, all the resentment in my heart suddenly dissipated.
The night wind blew, cool and cold. Huaiyu shivered, then touched the vine branch and held it in his arms, then hummed and acted coquettishly:
"Stop growing! Sprout and grow again from the roots! I want to build a house with the branches here. They will block the sun, so they can't grow..."
At the same time, he said, "You have worked so hard to grow up. My new house is so big and spacious!"
Then, in a small, soft and gentle voice, "Thank you."
The wisteria didn't speak, of course it couldn't speak, but in the thick twilight, its roots, invisible to everyone, sprouted again.
Huaiyu sat up with satisfaction, broke off a thin branch and chewed it in his mouth. Then he frowned at the sudden sourness and bitterness, so he quickly spat it out and pretended that he had brushed his teeth.
The next moment, she recognized the outline of the foundation in the faint light, found the right position, and climbed in again skillfully.
The maroon sleeping bag provided some cushioning on the hard bricks and stones, and the temperature gradually rose in the enclosed space.
With the only pound of soybeans beside him, Huaiyu closed his eyes peacefully.
There is a practical way to build a house with vines, branches and leaves. There is a video on station B. It is more common abroad. The weather in early spring is changeable. It is estimated that it is not 100% safe without borrowing supernatural powers.
