Chapter 56: Clearing the Mountains The three of them came out of the cave and looked around. …
The three people came out of the cave and looked around.
The playful man paused and said, "There is also a house."
The ghost scholar nodded. He thought so too. He wanted to order someone to go with him.
Ye Lu slowly held his chin up, and looked back at the cave behind him, thinking for a moment, and then said: "Why don't we connect the house to the cave, which can save time and effort, and the cave is quite big. I just checked, and the place to the ice cave is the bottom of the cave, and there is no other exit. There should be only this one for us. The whole cave is very dry."
Hmm? This idea attracted the other two people.
The ghost scholar and the playful man all looked over.
Ye Lu was not really sure, he just remembered that he had seen a news report somewhere in his first life, that the house was built next to a cave, half of it was outside and half was inside the cave. The house was not only spacious, but also sheltered from the wind and rain, and was warm in winter and cool in summer. Ye Lu slowly spoke of the cave house in his memory.
"The ice cave is also good. We can build a wall near the ice cave and install a door. The door can be used as a freezer. We can freeze some uneaten food inside. Snakes, rats, insects and ants can't get in. We can also put some food in from time to time."
"I have heard of the cave house that Taoist Master mentioned. It is something that people in the mountains can build. This cave is dry, so it can indeed be built." The ghost scholar paused, frowned, and said, "It's just that the three of us don't know how to build it."
Ye Lu slowly looked at the ghost scholar and coughed: "Isn't that right? There is still you?"
Ghost Scholar: "..."
"What can't you do, County Magistrate? I remember you can build a house. It won't be too difficult. Ordinary people have little strength and need many methods, but most of us can just use brute force." Ye Lu was still thinking about comforting the ghost scholar. They were all people with supernatural powers, and it was easy for them to chop trees and grass.
The ghost scholar rubbed his aching forehead. As expected, as soon as he saw the Taoist looking at him, he should have had an idea in his mind.
"I'll take a look first. I'll come up with some rules when the time comes. The house can't be built in a short time. The wood also needs to be dried and exposed to the sun. These are all big projects. I guess only Chief Helan can be faster in He Village. She does have an advantage with her talent. As for the rest, we may be the fastest."
"And paint. This is our first time building a house so we must be serious and build it in the best possible way, so we need enough paint."
"All of these take time. During this period we can only live in the cave and do it bit by bit." The ghost scholar came up with many procedures in a short time and arranged them in an orderly manner.
The other two were already used to hearing him arrange their lives in detail.
"The most urgent thing is to clear a piece of land and plant the laurel tree first." The ghost scholar said this and looked up at Ye Lu.
Ye Lu, Ye Lu almost forgot about the laurel tree.
Ye Lu smiled somewhat embarrassedly.
"Master Dao, it's better if the laurel tree is closer to us so that it is easier for us to take care of it." The ghost scholar reminded Ye Lu to prevent him from thinking too much. After all, these three mountains are barren mountains, and they are close to the edge of the protection of the Bronze Mirror Goddess. It is inevitable that some strange creatures will jump out.
"It's okay. Ah Xi and I will clear a mountain first and kill some weird creatures directly. Then we will see if there are any weird plants. If not, we can at least get some putty weird beads to provide some good things for the next weird plants." Ye Lu waved his hand and said.
"There is less moonlight on this side of the cave, so the laurel should prefer the other side of the forest." Ye Lu pointed to a sparse small forest in the distance. It was some distance away from the cave, but people from this side of the cave could also see the laurel trees.
The ghost scholar felt that this distance was about right.
The three of them hadn't even had time to say anything before something happened.
A familiar voice came from the foot of the mountain.
"Lu boy, Lu boy!" Uncle He Qi's voice was getting closer. Ye Lu turned his head subconsciously when he heard it, and just in time he saw He Qi leading He Si and He Lan over, waving and calling Ye Lu.
As soon as he arrived next to Ye Lu, He Qi exclaimed, and looked at the cave entrance in admiration: "Wow, I knew there must be caves on your mountain. There must be many cave entrances on the mountain here. They didn't believe me when I told them at that time, but now they probably believe it after seeing it."
"Seventh Uncle, what are you doing?" Ye Lu raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion.
"Hey, it's Helan again. What does she know about farming? She has nothing but she drove the three of you guys up the mountain and said, 'Wait for me to come up and teach you how to farm. How can you farm when there is nothing? She is really daydreaming when there are so many weird things on this mountain." He Qi rolled his eyes and complained.
"When she heard me say that, she was annoyed and slapped me on the head, almost making me vomit my lunch."
"That's because you're too talkative!" Helan said in an unfriendly tone.
"You are in the guard team every day, how would you know about farming? This mountain also needs to be reclaimed. These three guys are definitely not capable of doing it. Let's kill the monsters first, and then help to clear the grass. Only then can they do the rest by themselves!" He Qi covered his head reflexively and retorted.
Ye Lu understood immediately after hearing this. He said with a smile, "We are also discussing the matter of the strange creature on the mountain."
"It's okay. Hurry up. There are three mountains in total. Let's clean up one mountain first. For the remaining two mountains, you can talk to the village at the foot of the mountain and say that the monsters on the mountain can be killed. Some people who lack putty will come up by themselves." Uncle He Qi handled it in an orderly manner. It was obvious that he was an old hand at farming. He said: "You three brothers, plus the three of us, I estimate that in two incense sticks, the whole mountain will be almost cleared."
"Ah Guiwawa, your talent is in the wind element, right?" Uncle He Qi paused, then suddenly thought of something and spoke.
The ghost scholar was stunned, nodded, and said: "Yes."
"That's perfect. You have the talent to summon strong winds in front and blow them hard. We will start to kill the monsters that escape. The high-level monsters on this mountain dare not escape. It's just right for the low-level monsters to escape."
After hearing this, the three people also followed Uncle He's words.
Sure enough, once Uncle He Qi, who was good at farming, said something, things instantly became much more stable.
The ghost scholar was riding the wind at the front. When strong wind blew, some strange creatures would jump out from behind the bushes and trees. Many of them would pounce on him, and then be caught by several people who had been waiting nearby and killed. Some took the strange pearl, and some burned it with putty.
Uncle He Qi was checking for omissions and filling in the gaps, and from time to time he would remind people where there were blind spots and where there were many strange things hiding.
The mountain was even bigger than I had imagined. It was not until nearly dusk that all the monsters on the mountain were wiped out.
A large pile of putty and strange beads also appeared on the ground.
He Qisan and others also said goodbye.
"Uncle, aren't you going to take this putty away?" Ye Lu asked in some confusion.
"No, who among us doesn't need to open up wasteland now? We don't need this putty at all. You can use it yourself." Uncle He Qi waved his hand and refused. They really didn't need it. They went up the mountain purely because they were worried about Ye Lu. He was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he asked Ye Lu, "Now that there are fewer monsters, can laurel be planted?"
"Okay? Now that the moon is out, Laurel should like it more." Ye Lu nodded, thought for a moment, and then spoke.
"Then move Yuegui first. We will be guarding on the side." Fourth Uncle He, who had been silent, said lightly.
