Tang Baozhu shuddered involuntarily when she saw the look in his eyes as he left; she felt a little scared.
Is he planning something bad to me again?
Tang Baozhu felt that if he dared to do anything bad to her, she would take a powerful pill that night and see who would mess with whom and who would be unable to get out of bed tomorrow.
Anyway, he has a day off tomorrow and doesn't have to go to work.
Thinking about this, Tang Baozhu actually seemed a little excited. She felt that she had changed, and that thinking about such things could actually make her feel excited.
He covered his face and let out a low laugh, actually quite happy. Sure enough, even an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years has become abnormal.
When they made their last trip, Tang Baozhu went with them to the other side, down the slope, and came to the stream. She splashed some water with her hands and found it was quite cool, clearly water that had seeped from the mountain.
This spring water is drinkable, and in this unpolluted environment, there's no need to worry about bacteria in it.
I was originally thinking of trying it, but then I suddenly realized that someone might be washing clothes up ahead of me. If someone lives upstream, they would definitely be washing their clothes in the stream. They have no environmental awareness at all; they just do whatever is convenient for them.
Thinking about it this way, I felt a bit disgusted with the water in this stream. I wouldn't dare to eat it, but it would be fine for everyday drinking water.
"Brother Yi, where do we get our water from?"
Feng Yi was carrying two stools. This was the last trip; there wasn't much stuff, so it was easy.
"Less than 500 meters ahead, we fetch water from there. It's all spring water seeping from the mountain. We dug a pit to enclose the water. The pit is quite deep, about two or three meters deep, but the water is still very clean, so there's no need to worry."
"That's good. I was really worried about people drawing water directly from the stream for drinking and other purposes. That would be too scary. I suppose everyone washes their clothes in the stream, right?"
"Yes, but the water in the stream is too cold. I'll wash the clothes from now on, you don't need to move."
After walking along the ridges of the wasteland, there was a narrow path, only about 50 centimeters wide. It was a path they had made when they built their house. It was alright, though; if you were careful, you wouldn't have to worry about slipping and falling.
When they were about to go up the mountain, they found that the path was just a few small steps dug out. Tang Baozhu thought about how they had just carried such heavy things up the mountain from here, and she was instantly terrified.
There wasn't even a road; they just built a few steps up the mountain, and the path was so steep that I didn't dare come down once I got to the top.
Then I thought about the future, what if we have children? They could fall down at any moment.
I'm planning to discuss it with him tonight. We absolutely must fix this road. I'd rather work harder and make it a gentle slope, which would also make it safer.
Feng Yi also saw his wife's expression and knew she was scared, so he quickly comforted her, "Don't be afraid. We can slowly modify this road every day by taking some time. We were in a hurry when we first built the house, so it ended up like this. But the other military families don't seem to mind. They're probably used to it."
"They're really amazing. They can get used to this kind of road. Aren't they afraid of slipping when it rains? If it's slippery in the rain, you could fall straight from the first step to the bottom step. Aren't they afraid?"
"I don't know. Maybe the road to their house has been changed. I rarely come here. I only came to check it out when I applied for the house last time. I haven't paid much attention to anything else. Don't worry, I will slowly dig out this road. You just stay inside the house and don't come down. I'll take care of the work outside. Just stay at home."
"That's settled then. Don't ask me to come down the mountain until the road up is repaired. I'm scared."
Tang Baozhu was no joke; only men could walk up and down these stairs without batting an eye, but she herself might not dare to.
Moreover, the mountains on this side seem particularly steep. I'd rather take a detour when they're building the road, even if it means walking a few more steps home.
"Don't worry, if you're scared, I'll help you up now."
Without saying a word, Tang Baozhu placed her hand in his palm and then followed him slowly upstairs.
Tang Baozhu found that she wasn't so scared when she went up to him. Could it be that she looked scared but wasn't actually scared when she walked up?
He scared himself, but even so, he still didn't dare to walk when it rained.
After walking about 50 meters, I saw a house surrounded by an earthen wall. The gate to the courtyard was open, and I could see inside.
The entire path was a dirt road, and Tang Baozhu felt that the passageway in the middle should be paved with stones so that when it rained, people wouldn't get covered in mud when they walked across it.
Fortunately, the weather has been quite nice lately, so there's still time. We can just collect stones from the stream and pave a path.
Tang Baozhu thought it would be nice to plant some vegetables on both sides of the yard, so she planted some scallions, ginger, garlic and the like, so she could pick them as needed when cooking.
Upon entering the courtyard, you'll see a row of three mud houses, with a smaller house next to them.
When Tang Baozhu went inside, she found that the stained room in the middle had been used as a living room with a set of tables and chairs, the mud house on the left had a wooden bed, and the room on the right was empty.
I figured the room on the left was meant for two people, while the one on the right could be used to store some unused items. I went outside to take a look at the small house. Inside, there was a simple stove. Although the items were quite basic, it seemed to have everything you needed.
"Brother Yi, why don't you ask your friends to stay for dinner? I'll cook for them. They've helped us out, so it wouldn't be good to just send them home."
Feng Yi looked doubtful, but couldn't help shattering her illusions, "Can you even cook? Don't forget when you were learning to cook as a child, you burned the rice directly into crispy rice crust, and even worse than that, it turned into a bunch of black lumps."
Damn it! Tang Baozhu had actually forgotten that the original young girl couldn't cook. If she were to cook a sumptuous dinner, wouldn't it seem too strange?
He quickly made up an excuse, "Well, I still have to learn, and besides, I can't cook, but I have you, right? I can help you out."
"That's more like it. Otherwise, I would have thought you had a problem with my brothers and were going to poison them. In that case, I'll cook for them and they can go help us with the chores."
