Zhao Xiaoxiu quickly ran upstairs.
Pushing open the screen door to the suite on the left, a one-bedroom, one-living room, one-bathroom suite with a very modern minimalist style comes into view.
The broken ceramic jar on the high stool on the balcony was clearly placed there intentionally.
She stood in the center of the living room for a while, her eyes filled with increasing joy.
He touched the sheets on the sofa, then climbed up and sat on them for a while.
The bed in the master bedroom is wide and large, covered with a single piece of wood. With a mattress on it, it would be very comfortable to sleep on.
Zhao Xiaoxiu went to the bathroom. The disgusting three-headed mutated snake from yesterday was long gone, replaced by white tiled walls and a clean ceiling.
There was also a bathtub filled with water, a unclogged toilet, a bright mirror, and a washbasin.
Zhao Xiaoxiu's eyes were practically overflowing with joy. She ran quickly to the rooftop, which had been cleared into a large 200-square-meter terrace with intact parapet walls, allowing her to move around freely.
Zhao Xiaoxiu found her father's direction, ran to the parapet, grabbed the parapet with both hands, and lifted her upper body up, successfully peeking out.
With a quick scan, the big eyes fixed on the four-story building diagonally opposite and asked loudly:
"Dad, are you the Fairy Singer?!"
A thin, bloody tendril flew over with a "whoosh!" and circled around her.
Zhao Gang's serious question followed: "Where can I find snails? Are they mutated?"
Zhao Xiaoxiu chuckled, jumped off the parapet, and pinched the fleshy bud with her small hand, saying, "You are the Snail Fairy."
The little meatball shook its body in confusion, trying to break free from the cub's grasp, but it was too afraid to do so, fearing a beating from Zhao Gang. It was completely flustered and helpless, which amused Zhao Xiaoxiu so much that she took the initiative to let go and let it go.
Zhao Gang leaned out of the opposite window, holding a pile of curtain fabric in his hand, and said excitedly:
"Xiaoxiu, Daddy found the curtains. I'll wash them and hang them in your room. They'll look beautiful!"
Zhao Xiaoxiu replied, "Okay, I'm going to wash my face. Dad, come back soon, let's go look for it together."
After saying that, he ran downstairs like a gust of wind.
A basin of still-warm water had already been placed in the kitchen, and a washcloth, toothbrush, and tooth cup were placed on the dining chair at a height that Zhao Xiaoxiu could easily reach.
She didn't receive any tentacle service today; she washed her face and brushed her teeth herself.
The basin is a bit big, so let's leave the dirty water where it is for now and pour it into the toilet when Dad comes back.
Zhao Xiaoxiu was very fortunate because the septic tank was built by the homeowner, so the toilet in the house was still usable.
This is much better than the commercial buildings in the city.
Worried that the incident of the mutated snake flying out of the toilet yesterday might happen again, Zhao Xiaoxiu first went to the tool room to find her machete, and then carefully went to the toilet with the machete in hand.
The toilet in the stairwell on the first floor is a squat toilet. The door panel has been removed, and Zhao Gang will have to put it back on when he finds the screws.
The open toilet made Zhao Xiaoxiu feel much more at ease; if anything crawled out, she could run away immediately.
After Zhao Xiaoxiu finished using the toilet, Zhao Gang returned carrying a bundle of curtain fabric that had been taken down from another house.
Zhao Xiaoxiu drank one vial of nutrient solution and finished half a pot of water.
The father and daughter then took their weapons, along with curtains and buckets, and went to the riverbank within their territory.
Yesterday evening, the sky was too dark to see clearly, and only now have I realized that the river is quite deep, with the deepest part being four or five meters.
The river is also wide, about thirty meters at its widest point and seventeen or eighteen meters at its narrowest.
If we were to build a bridge, we would need to use trees that are twenty meters tall to reach the poplar grove on the other side.
Wait a moment.
The poplar trees across the street are quite thick and tall, and it seems like a good choice to use local materials.
However, Zhao Gang, the main labor force, has no plans to act as a bridge for the time being.
The father and daughter washed the curtains and the dirty clothes they had changed out of the day before with clean water by the river, and then went home.
Of course, it was mainly Zhao Gang who was washing it.
Zhao Xiaoxiu, holding a long stick, curiously stirred the river water to test its depth, getting her socks inside her sandals wet in the process.
When I got home, I could only change into the pink sneakers that I had been reluctant to wear before.
There is a mutated dwarf pine tree in front of my house that is not even grade C. It is only 1.5 meters tall, with a canopy that is more than 4 meters deep. It looks like an umbrella mushroom.
It's perfect for spreading out curtains and clothes to dry.
Now the father and daughter have a place to live.
The next step is to understand what's inside your territory so that you can make subsequent plans easier.
Zhao Gang pushed the bicycle out of the tool shed, and Zhao Xiaoxiu climbed onto her own seat. The father and daughter closed the door, took their weapons, and began to patrol their territory.
Starting from the stone bridge, head east to visit the poplar grove.
The 80-acre poplar grove contains over 1,600 mature trees. All of them are low-mutation trees that are below grade C, growing tall and straight with high-reaching canopies.
Poplar trees have a wide range of uses; they can be used to make furniture, farm tools, roof beams, firewood, and shelterbelts—truly a versatile tree.
In late October, autumn has arrived, and the leaves in the forest are beginning to turn yellow.
The father and daughter rode their bicycles through the poplar grove, intending to continue forward, but their path was blocked by the river.
Area B had just been established, and the authorities hadn't had time to build a bridge there yet. The father and daughter quickly turned back to the stone bridge and continued their patrol from west to south and then east.
The western side is on higher ground, a flat area next to the main road, nothing special.
To the south are two small hills, the vegetation of which has been completely cleared away.
The father and daughter rode their bikes to the bottom of the slope, pushed them uphill, and walked the two mountains, which took them nearly an hour.
On the hillside, there were caves where mutated animals used to live. Zhao Gang sensed that there were no dangerous mutated animals inside.
After all, he personally cleaned this area, so its safety is fully guaranteed.
The two hillsides are less than 100 meters high, and currently appear to be quite suitable for planting fruit trees.
Heading north down the mountain, you'll arrive at the housing area.
The terrain here is relatively low, and the houses are built at the foot of the mountain where the terrain is higher.
Because it is next to the river, the lowest point has formed a natural puddle.
The water wasn't deep, so Zhao Xiaoxiu picked up a stone and threw it in, sending water splashing high into the air.
It appears to be less than one meter deep and covers an area of about 500 square meters.
Such puddles are likely to breed some strange things, such as mutated water snakes, frogs, giant salamanders, lizards, and the like.
Zhao Xiaoxiu had a natural dislike for, and even a slight fear of, these smooth-skinned, legged amphibians.
Just thinking about it gives her goosebumps.
Upon seeing the pond, Zhao Xiaoxiu immediately asked Zhao Gang to rent an excavator to fill it in.
Zhao Gang pinched the cub's face, which was covered in goosebumps, and smiled nonchalantly.
As a good father, he cannot help his young escape from fear; he must confront it directly!
Completely unaware of her father's inner thoughts, Zhao Xiaoxiu quickly pulled him back to a higher place.
At that moment, the patrol car's horn beeped from the roadside.
The father and daughter looked up and saw an unexpected person jump out of the car.
The other party was also surprised to see the father and daughter again, and raised an eyebrow in surprise, but quickly returned to normal.
