They had a clear division of labor and each performed their duties.
Xue Laohu was responsible for providing the materials for the houses and courtyards built by the several families.
They went to cut down trees at the location designated by the old village chief and the village committee.
Then the men and women from several families went up the mountain together and carried it down, piling it up next to Li Lanzhen's cave.
When the women had a spare moment, they scraped off all the branches and bark from the tree trunk and let it air dry.
It will be used when we build the house, the yard, and make the furniture.
Next, we need to find the stones for the foundation of the house and yard.
This is the mountain that Li Erhan led everyone to find, where all the stones could be used.
These stones are not only sturdy, but also of a suitable size.
There are also many flat and smooth stone slabs.
This made Li Erhan very happy.
He told Li Lanzhen that these stones were enough for several families to build kang (heated brick beds).
The fields belonging to several families are usually managed by Zhang Deshui and Zhang Songshu, who take care of everyone's crops and vegetables.
The carpentry workshop in Forget-Worry Valley is managed by Li Erhan and Li Xishui, who also train apprentices.
Anyone willing to learn carpentry is welcome to come. We also need to make furniture for Li Lanzhen and her family, so we are usually very busy.
After several trials, Li Erhan has successfully built a heated kang (a traditional heated platform bed). Once the fire is lit, the flue is smooth, the insulation is good, and the kang is sturdy and safe.
Li Erhan first built a heated kang (a traditional heated bed) in Li Lanzhen's cave.
At the request of the children, the next step was to build a heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove) inside the old couple's cave.
After Li Lanzhen and her family built heated kang beds in the caves, one person from each household in the village learned how to build them.
Now, every household in Wangyou Valley has built a heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed).
After the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed) was built, Li Lanzhen started finding things for Li Erhan to do again.
It is said that the kangqin placed on the kang can be used to store bedding and clothes, making it look clean and tidy.
Sure enough, Li Erhan became fascinated as soon as he heard about furniture.
He pulled Li Lanzhen to draw a picture for him, and Li Lanzhen explained in detail what the kangqin looked like on the ground, drawing many different styles including the patterns on it.
Li Erhan and Li Xishui remembered what they had heard and seen.
They also kept adding to Li Lanzhen's ideas.
Li Lanzhen looked at her father and brothers.
Honestly: If this were my previous life, I would definitely be a furniture designer!
Seeing their eager expressions, Li Lanzhen quickly said to her father, "Dad, take your time, don't tire yourself out. These pieces of furniture won't be needed until next year when we build our new house and install a heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove). There's no rush!"
She was really afraid of tiring them out.
Although they had taken the power pills and gained strength, and had been drinking spiritual spring water and improving their physical condition, they still couldn't withstand living too much!
Not only did they have to provide guidance on the construction of heated brick beds for every household in Wangyou Valley, but they also had to do carpentry work for their own families.
Fortunately, after the workload in their carpentry workshop became very heavy, Li Erhan asked the village chief to inform the villagers that anyone who wanted to learn carpentry could come to his workshop to learn.
Xue Bao and Han Mingjiang were mainly responsible for their family's hunting trips in the mountains, as well as teaching hunting techniques to every household in Wangyou Valley and handling security work in Wangyou Valley.
All the women and children went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables and fruits.
For safety reasons, Xue Laohu and Xue Bao, along with Han Mingjiang, Han Zhaoxiong, and a few others, searched all the surrounding mountains.
This defined a boundary for the activities of people in the Valley of Forgetfulness.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, as long as you don't cross that warning line, it's safe.
That day, after breakfast, Li Lanzhen greeted everyone.
"I'm going up the mountain! You guys stay halfway up the mountain! If there's a problem, just blow the whistle."
Han Minghai quickly said, "Mother, I'll go with you!"
Li Lanzhen waved her hand, picked up her basket, and walked away, saying loudly.
"No need! Go do your work!"
Xue Laohu patted Han Minghai on the shoulder as he watched Li Lanzhen's retreating figure with concern.
"Don't worry, it's alright! We're all around, we'll hear you if anything happens!"
Li Lanzhen quickly reached the halfway point of the mountain, paused briefly, and continued climbing.
Along the way, she encountered wild vegetables and fruits, but she didn't pick them; instead, she gave them to the children and women.
Knowing she was safe, she decided to climb to the top of the mountain today to see what good things were there.
Tomorrow or the day after, let's come out a little earlier, cross this mountain, and see what's on the other side.
From the middle of the mountain upwards, there are very few traces of people who have been here.
Sometimes the fallen bushes and trampled marks on the grass are probably from when Xue Laohu and his group came here.
Indeed, the higher the mountain, the better the precious herbs and fruits!
Li Lanzhen saw several black goji berry trees.
They approached the mountain, intending to store it in their spatial storage.
After waving her hand to put it away, she saw the medicinal herbs that excited her.
It turns out that these black goji berry trees grew tall and had dense foliage, which blocked the view of the cliff behind them.
A patch of Dendrobium on a cliff.
Wild dendrobium is a wonderful thing!
Dendrobium is also known as the immortal herb or the resurrection herb.
Because it grows on cliffs, it is also known as "the fairy herb on the rock face".
An old saying goes: "In the north there is thousand-year-old ginseng, and in the south there is Dendrobium officinale. Ginseng replenishes qi, while Dendrobium officinale nourishes yin."
It is often used for yin deficiency and fluid depletion, dry mouth and thirst, poor appetite and dry retching, post-illness weakness and fever, and blurred vision.
After returning home, he took out a portion and gave it to Wu, asking her to prepare it for any eventuality.
Li Lanzhen walked along, picking wild vegetables whenever she found them and putting them into her spatial storage.
Any nice saplings were also uprooted and placed into the space.
The mountains in the space were all covered with some unknown shrubs.
It's time to plant some big trees.
Any valuable trees discovered will be stored in the space.
She was thinking as she harvested the crops from the mountain.
Since her trip to Youzhou City, Li Lanzhen felt that Forget-Worry Valley was still too close to the city!
If that vassal king were to seize the throne, war would inevitably break out.
At that time, it was uncertain whether the Valley of Forgetfulness was still a natural barrier.
If the Prince of Rong in Youzhou City were to become emperor, perhaps the situation in Forget-Worry Valley would be better!
There has been no news from Han Mingxiang and Han Shulan. Should we find some time to go to Youzhou City again?
Lost in thought, I heard a flock of birds flutter out of the tall trees, chirping and circling.
The mountains beneath our feet trembled.
Li Lanzhen's first thought was that wild boars had arrived, and in a group at that.
She quickly climbed up a large tree next to her.
He sat down on a large tree branch, took out his stun gun and hatchet, and got ready.
At this moment, the sound from afar grew closer and closer, and she could feel the vibrations even while sitting in the tree!
Getting closer and closer!
She laughed when a group of wild boars charged out.
Hehe, the meat is here!
But when she saw what was chasing the wild boar, she was stunned!
