In the days that followed, Yunwen and I were basically busy building the house. There were not enough red bricks, so we burned them, and there was not enough cement, so we mixed it. Anyway, we had all the raw materials, and the rest was just a matter of time and energy. Yunwen and I expected to rebuild the wooden house, but we could only rebuild it using this cement and red brick method. The appearance, style, furnishings, etc. were basically changed.

It was even made according to the blueprint. The stove was also wrapped in it, and was also coated with cement. The stone mill was wrapped with layers of hay and pressed down with stones to prevent it from being blown away by the wind and to prevent cement from getting on top.

Soon, with the joint efforts of Yunwen and I, the house was slowly restored to its original state, except that the wooden spiral stairs leading up the stairs became concrete stairs, the corridor on the second floor became a concrete corridor, and the rooms became bare houses. There were originally three rooms on the second floor, but now there is only one. All the furnishings downstairs remain almost unchanged, except that the original bumpy land has become an extremely smooth concrete floor. The walls around are still made of red bricks on the outside, but the inside is made of solid cement.

After the house was built, we also built the outer fence with red bricks and cement instead of the original simple charcoal to make the outer wall, and installed doors. In this way, the original style of the post station was basically restored, except that the original whole wood was changed to cement style. The two of us also planned to build a ancestral hall on the original west side, which was also our original intention to restore the house.

During this period, in addition to picking fish to eat at the beach, I cultivated a batch of fungi and got some rotten wood. After more than a month, I could eat wood ear mushrooms again. Moreover, our stomachs have gradually become accustomed to eating wild vegetables and roots, and with the arrival of spring, they can be collected in many places, so there is never a shortage of these things. Wild milk can also be supplied, so the nutrition is still good.

After getting through the most difficult period, our potatoes were ready to be harvested a month later, but it would take some time for the wheat to mature. Once the wheat was ripe, we would have decent food to eat. In addition, a new batch of black fungus had already grown, so we could basically eat everything that was available in the wild.

During this month or so, we knew very little about the situation of the Song sisters, but we did see some bad situations. We saw hyena people coming around us, holding knives and axes and intending to kill wild deer. However, they are not human after all, and it is not appropriate to hunt with knives and axes instead of claws and fangs. Therefore, I saw them return empty-handed several times.

Yunwen also went to the castle area and the valley area. When she came back, she told me that she could still hear the voices of the hyena people in the castle, and the hyena people's territory area below the valley area was similar to usual, except that the hyena people seemed to have become a little strange. Originally, there were no signs of other activities except the black market, but now it seemed that no one was idle, and they were all busy, as if they had endless things to do.

This is also the only thing that Yunwen and I have been worried about these days. It would be fine if we were alone, but now the hyena people in front have begun to collect minerals and smelt iron resources on a large scale, and the hyena people in the back have become organized and disciplined, and have started to go out hunting to a certain extent, and in areas relatively far away from their own territory.

I don’t know what is hidden in this, but it is already somewhat aggressive, and this is what makes us uneasy, fearing that things will become even more out of control.

On this day after a month, we were finally able to move into the house. Although it was considered a relatively simple house in the modern civilized world, it was excellent in the wilderness as it could shelter us from the wind and rain, provide fire for cooking, protect us from wild beasts, and was sturdy and solid. What's more, it was built brick by brick by Yunwen and I, so the sense of accomplishment was self-evident.

If I were to talk about feelings, it was the visual feeling of moving into a new house and seeing the whole room full of rough materials, and also the visual feeling of seeing your own wedding room. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but glance at Yunwen, and Yunwen also looked at me with a smile, but she was a little absent-minded and her eyes were a little wandering.

We took out all the sheets and quilts in the tunnel, first set up a pole and put them in the sun to dry, then took them to the second-floor bedroom at night and spread them on the kang, which would be our sleeping place in the future. Then we brought in all kinds of food, and I picked some of them. There were twenty-three dried fungus in total, and only half of the potatoes were picked from the backyard of the castle, so there were only seventy-three in total. But the wheat harvest will be soon, so we can keep a few more potatoes for planting, and the next batch will surely be a good harvest.

The house is tidy, but the only drawback is that it is too empty. There are no tables, chairs or benches where there should be. When Yunwen and I talk, we can hear the echo. So now the whole house has been restored, but we still need some time to restore the soft furnishings, furniture and the like.

However, my mind is still on this. I want to get things done quickly and build the Milongying Ancestral Hall so that I can marry Yunwen earlier. Now that conditions have improved a lot, I have the chance to think about these things and I will seize the opportunity. However, Yunwen seems to care more about the other side, so recently, she has always been unable to agree with me.

At this moment, she was sitting on the stairs again, as if in a daze. When she saw me coming over, she said, "Sorry, I was thinking about how to decorate my house, and I also need to think of a way to make the stables in the dog days more beautiful. I wasn't thinking about anything else. Zhou Bo, don't let me spoil your fun."

I can read micro-expressions to some extent, and hers was so obvious that I knew it was fake without any analysis, which is what they call trying to cover up one's mistake.

"You are still worried about Yingchun's situation, right? Just tell me. There is no need to hide things from each other." I said.

"But you said that we just need to live our own lives. Wouldn't it be displeasing to you if I did this? Let's continue to clean up the house. Look! This new house is so nice. It will be a great place for you and me to live together in the future. After the ancestral hall is completed, we will follow the original plan. Then I will be your wife, and this will be our wedding room, and we can stay together for a long time." Yunwen stood up and held my hand.

But I shook my head. It was obvious that she was forcing herself to tell the story just to make me happy.

"If you have something on your mind and I can't share it with you, and I'm just thinking about how to possess you, that's selfish. Tell me, it's better for us to make things clear today than to have a bigger gap between us in the future." I said.

After hearing what I said, she sighed and said, "Yesterday, I took Sanfu out for a walk and saw hyenas hunting prey. They already knew how to use crossbows to push carts and shot a deer through the head. Do you remember when Yingchun took the ugly monster out hunting? Every time, they wanted to wipe out the entire tribe before they were happy. I now suspect that these hyenas were either instigated by Yingchun or instigated by her, otherwise they have never done this before."

"Crossbow?" I asked.

"It should be Zhuge Liannu, definitely Yingchun's work. Zhou Bo, more than a month has passed and we have been silent. Now, I think if we stay alone, the situation will only get worse. Should we go talk to them?" Yunwen asked.

Zhuge Liannu, a crossbow made by Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han, is also called Yuanrong Crossbow. It is too large to be used by a single soldier and is generally used to defend the city. However, if there are many people and a cart is used to push it, it is very convenient to use! This crossbow can fire more than a dozen arrows in a row and is very powerful. If it is abused by hyenas, the consequences will be unimaginable.

This not only threatens the species on the island, but also threatens the safety of Yunwen and me!

I broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't help but say, "We have to go, we have to have a good talk this time!"
