Chapter 23 23. Picking wild vegetables!

After drinking a full bowl of salt and sugar water, Huai Yu breathed a sigh of relief and felt as if he had strength back in his body.

She picked up the multi-purpose shovel and walked to the door again to gesture.

Of course, the toilet couldn't be built next to the house, so Huaiyu decided to use the space in the middle as an open-air warehouse.

By adding a roof, the hay that is dangerous in the tree house can be piled outside. The roof also serves as a corridor, and a toilet shed can be built on the other side.

This way, you don't have to worry about getting wet when you walk along on a rainy day.

She picked a good location and started to tidy up the tree trunks.

All the branches and twigs should be sawed off and piled aside temporarily, so that they can be used as firewood later.

Then find the "Y"-shaped branch point where the trunk branches out, and try to keep the height consistent. Then put thinner branches horizontally on the branch, and fix them as many times as possible with vines and straw ropes.

Finally, two [匚] shapes flipped 90° to the right appeared.

Huaiyu measured the distance between the tree trunks and started digging the hole, making it a little deeper. Then he stuck the tree trunks into the hole and fixed them directly.

It is indeed a bit difficult to do this job alone, but the good thing is that it is only used for a temporary transition, so even if it is a bit rough, it is not a big problem.

By the time she overlapped the two beams at the top to form an "X" shape looking down, the frame of the first shed was completed.

But it's not over yet.

Four of the eight trees were used, and the upper beams were made from thinner treetops. Huaiyu thought about it and set up the same frame again one meter away from the side.

By three o'clock in the afternoon, the frame was completed.

The next step is to cover the straw curtain.

In order to save tree trunks, the shed was only about 1.8 meters high. The two sheds and the open space in the middle together were more than five meters long.

Honestly, it's quite spacious.

Especially since this was built by Huaiyu himself, it seems even more spacious.

But at a height of 1.8 meters, Huaiyu couldn't go up to cover the curtain, so he could only use a clumsy method.

——Brick pad.

She grunted and moved red bricks and stacked them in all directions, finally making herself stand on a high place. She connected and tied the straw mats tightly together, and in order to prevent rain leaks due to her poor craftsmanship, she added another layer.

Finally, I fixed it on the shed a second time and it couldn't be pulled anymore. Only then did I feel relieved.

The toilet occupies one quarter of the second frame.

The straw curtain hangs down on four sides, three sides are fixed, and a door is left on the fourth side.

From the outside, there is a large blind spot.

After entering the door, start digging a hole in the blind spot, digging a deep rectangular pit about 60 cm long and 20 cm wide.

The excavated soil was not wasted. It was piled behind the squat pit and a thick and long branch was placed next to it.

In this way, after going to the toilet, you can directly use branches to dig a layer of soil into the pit and cover it.

The reason for digging so deep was that Huaiyu didn't want to dig a toilet. For this reason, a row of thin branches were inserted into the four sides of the pit to stabilize the soil layer to prevent the upper soil from collapsing.

Now the toilet is finished!

She looked around and admired the tree house from front to back, left to right, and finally went out and moved the bales of hay out of the tree house and piled them in a row next to the toilet door.

This way it's more discreet. Perfect!

She is simply a genius!
But the genius wasn’t done yet.

Others would use tamping or cement pouring to build the frame, but she didn't buy anything, so she piled the bricks she had just used as footrests in a circle next to the eight tree roots, probably for psychological comfort.

The rest was not wasted and was directly spread on the ground.

Because it was not enough, they even moved it several times with great difficulty. In the end, they also paved the toilet, leaving only the back for digging soil.

it's getting dark.

These tasks may seem insignificant, but they are really too laborious and time-consuming. However, now when Huaiyu looks at everything in front of him, he feels satisfied for the whole day.

From today on, her food, clothing, housing and transportation will finally be settled!

She lay back on the bed with a flashlight, without taking off her clothes, and fell into a deep sleep hugging her sleeping bag.

In the night breeze, the scent of roses mixed with rich water vapor filled the air, and a unique force in the fragrance slowly surged towards the tree house.

In the perforated brick vase at the head of the bed, the rose that added a lot of comfort to the wooden house began to sway slowly.

Huaiyu lay there, breathing quietly, unaware of all this.

……

"Ah!"

Huaiyu sneezed violently, and then woke up in a daze. At this moment, the tree house was pitch black, with only a faint light coming from the edge of the door.

She sat on the bed for a while, and suddenly felt a chill. When she opened the door, a gust of cold wind blew in her face!
"hiss!"

It’s so cold!

She quickly shrank back, put on her newly bought down jacket, then took a deep breath and rolled up the door.

The next moment, she was stunned.

"It's raining……"

Just as she fell into a deep sleep last night, it rained outside in the middle of the night. Now there was a slight smell of soil in the air, the ground was moist, and the grass and woods in the distance were covered with a layer of furry green!
Huaiyu turned his head and looked inside the house. It was still dry and there was no leakage.

Then I looked at the shed and toilet nearby - they were intact! They were intact!
Only the red bricks at the edges became darker, obviously from contact with rain.

The morning broadcast had not started yet. Huaiyu looked at the watch. It was only seven o'clock. The Sanqing Mountain in the distance was shrouded in layers of fog. Even the petals of the rose corridor were wet and the leaves were surprisingly green.

She stood there in a daze, and after a moment she suddenly turned around and went into the house.

“It’s time to dig wild vegetables!”

She was carrying a basket on her back and didn't even bring a multi-purpose shovel with her, and ran straight up the mountain.

Although the rain has stopped now, she doesn’t know if it will rain again today. She has to speed up!
She was already familiar with the route into the mountain, but Sanqing Mountain was too big, and the roads that were once used for people to move around had long been covered by plants. Huaiyu groped her way up along the previous mark, and soon she saw the pearl flower that was used to mark the place!

After a spring rain, she is now in the mountains and can feel the restlessness of all the plants and the power that is about to flourish.

The grass will sprout and grow quickly, and the roots will spread further. The pearl flower in front of her has grown more densely packed young leaves and buds in just one day!
She put down the basket without saying a word and started pulling the branches, pulling the green leaves on the branches one by one. She looked so happy!
This tree is not very tall, but after all the Huaiyu were picked, there was actually half a basket full of them!

She looked at the bare branches, and now she touched them carefully. A subtle energy surged, and she whispered softly:
"sorry."

The next moment, Huaiyu let go of his hand.

Because when looking from this angle, you can actually see a patch of tender wild mushrooms growing on the big tree trunk diagonally in front of you!
It’s wild mushroom!
　Coming!
　　The process of this chapter is a bit complicated, so you can understand it according to your own understanding. I will see if I can find the accompanying pictures when I have time. Sisters who can draw can also try it!
