Chapter 99 D Xing'an Mountains



Everyone got up very early the next morning.

I was woken up by the quacking of wild ducks.

"Today's task is to catch wild ducks. It's too noisy!" Feng Ran said while cooking porridge.

They all nodded in unison.

After breakfast, Feng Ran threw the rubber boat onto the river. The group took fishing nets and buckets. Feng Ran wanted to try his luck, and with one cast, wow, a big carp weighing several pounds was scooped up.

"We've had some good luck this morning," Bai Lian said.

"Yeah. Brother, here's the net. Go ahead and catch them." The rubber boat startled many wild ducks as it passed. The group didn't catch a single one. However, they did find several nests of wild duck eggs in the reeds of the river, which they then stored in their spatial storage.

"It's so cool." Feng Ran put her hand into the water and felt its temperature. Everything here is so beautiful.

The water was crystal clear in the shallow parts, and the riverbed was covered with aquatic plants—it was incredibly beautiful. She felt she had never seen anything like it in the city.

“There are also many small fish,” Feng Nangui said, sitting down next to her at some point.

"Yes, the water quality here must be excellent."

"It must be due to the melting snow from the mountains. In the previous extremely cold weather, water vapor froze and snow accumulated. Now that the weather is warmer, the ice and snow have melted. The rivers have water, and everything is reviving."

We're lucky we came here at this time.

"Yes. Brother, you're right."

"There are quite a few reed stalks growing on the reeds. Everyone, use your scissors to pick some to take back and repel mosquitoes." After Bai Lian finished speaking, he handed the scissors to Feng Ran.

"Great! Get a lot more, there are lots of mosquitoes in the mountains. These things are so rare."

"They need to be dried after being picked."

"Um."

Feng Ran took a large plastic bag, and everyone threw the cut pieces directly into the plastic bag.

I cut a whole bagful in one morning. When I got home, I laid them out to dry in the open space in front of my yard.

Anyway, the group didn't catch any wild ducks, and they all flew away extremely fast. They didn't even consider what ducks would do.

For lunch, we had a huge pot of stewed red carp with glass noodles.

In the afternoon, Feng Ran began a simple cleanup around the house. The other men were cutting branches and trees in the woods behind the house.

They began to densely enclose land and build fences.

The tree branch, about 2.5 meters tall, was cut down and then planted in the ground for reinforcement.

The three houses are enclosed within this enclosure. The doors face the river.

The yard is about 100 square meters. Several people used chainsaws to cut down some thicker trees to make trunks.

Finally, the group found some thorns in the woods and planted them around the outside of the yard.

Feng Ran dug out some space and planted it next to the house. She also sowed a lot of sunflowers under the fence in the yard.

Life is yours to live. It deserves to be beautiful.

Finally, the group dug a toilet at the back of the yard. They simply dug a pit outside and placed a toilet bowl inside. They also put a large bucket in there to collect water for flushing. And that's how they made a simple flush toilet.

There are wooden planks under the toilets. There are also small buckets for cleaning nearby. A faucet and shower set is installed on the toilet ceiling, connected to a bucket outside the toilet. This bucket contains clean, slightly cold water. So when you shower, you can simply pour in boiled water, and the temperature will even out, making it just the right temperature for a shower.

The entire beginner house-building package is now complete.

The work took a month in total. During that time, we also reinforced the house.

Two weeks later.

"Listen up, everyone! Starting today, let's put everything down and begin a new round of vegetable harvesting. The fruits are ripe too."

Jixiang and I would first pull out all the vegetables that had yielded fruit and throw them in the yard.

You are responsible for picking all the tomatoes, cucumbers, green beans, edamame, and so on.

Don't throw away the seedlings; thank you for using the space to feed the animals. All the extra seedlings should be processed into feed using machines.

So we expect to be busy for a long time.

After Feng Ran finished speaking, the others nodded in agreement.

Harvesting food is the most important thing. Everything else must be put aside.

Moreover, division of labor and cooperation will lead to greater efficiency.

Piles of plastic baskets were taken out, washed in the river, and dried in the sun for half a day.

The next day began. Fengran and Jixiang put on gloves and first pulled up all the tomato and cucumber seedlings. The seedlings, laden with fruit, were heavy. There were still a few small, unripe fruits, which they decided to discard.

Then the two of them went into the space to collect vegetables.

Pull, pull, pull, neatly put them into plastic bags and pack them up.

"Ji Xiang. Doesn't this space need to absorb some plants right now?"

“Yes, I need to. I was going to tell you this already, that planting all the time will make the land barren. The space absorbed a lot of corpses before, which sustained us for a while. This time, you can pick the vegetables you like to eat. I will absorb the rest all at once.”

"Okay. Let's put it away first. We don't eat many vegetables, so let's leave more."

"Sure. Have you thought about what to plant after this harvest?"

"How about planting corn, pumpkins, and watermelons?"

"Great!" Jixiang instantly became interested. It was his favorite corn!

"Plant potatoes and taro again."

"good."

The vegetables were harvested over three days. Every kind was harvested. More was harvested for those who liked them, less for those who didn't. In the end, the remaining parts on the land were absorbed by the space and turned into hay.

The wind-blown soil-turning machine was brought out.

Auspiciously, the land is turned over; the wind stirs the soil, and it's time to start picking fruit.

Products from this space are guaranteed to be of the highest quality. They are free of pests, and are large and sweet.

The group usually eats a lot of fruit; Jixiang and Lilu eat it almost every day whenever they have time.

This time we collected some new fruit. The smaller pieces that were left over from the space were fed directly to the animals in Qi Xie's space, especially the chicks and rabbits. They seemed much more energetic after eating the space fruit.

The group of people who love durian open two large durians to eat every day.

The fruit harvest took more than half a month. After finishing, Feng Ran took a sharp cleaver and saw and began pruning the fruit trees in the space.

The grapevines were cut down directly from the branches. The orange and peach trees, among others, were becoming increasingly dense with foliage. Feng Ran simply sawed off all the top branches.

There were also kiwis and other things. In short, all the fruit trees in the space were pruned. Neither of them picked up the vines and branches that fell to the ground. They let the space absorb them and turn them into dry branches before throwing them all out of the yard to be used as firewood.

Over the next few days, Feng Nangui and his group took turns feeding the animals and chopping wood with great enthusiasm.

Because the house is partially blocked by trees, it doesn't get much sunlight, which affects solar power generation.

So they organized everyone to cut down all the trees that provided shade around the area.

The moment the thorns slowly climbed the wall, life in the Xingan Mountains officially began!

For more than a month, everyone has been living there relatively safely, and so far no danger has been encountered.

However, the situation is uncertain for the mountain where Wang San San is located!

"ah!"

As a scream rang out, Wang San San and the others ran out with their guns drawn.
