After being exiled, Lucky Zaizai took his whole family to farm.

Chapter 24 Building a House

If you don't help build a house in the territory, they won't help you with anything. You have to rely on yourself for whatever you want.

Either find it yourself, make it yourself, or trade it with something.

So the person who led the way pointed them to a place where they could build a house and left.

The entire territory of the Western Shu prisoners was surrounded from the outside by wooden fences. The enclosed area was very large, and it should have been taken into account that people would continue to come from behind.

The houses in the territory are also different. Most of them are wooden houses with thatched roofs, and some are direct thatched houses. Even the walls are fixed with thick thatch. From a distance, they look like a thatched pier.

This territory was probably carefully selected.

Not far away there is a small mountain connected to other mountains heading east.

You can see some trees and a bamboo forest on the mountain, which can be used to build houses and weave some daily utensils.

Some of the houses in the territory are adjacent to each other, while others are far apart.

Probably acquaintances or relatives have chosen to stay together so that they can take care of each other in case of trouble.

After everyone left, everyone looked at each other in disbelief at the empty space.

It would be best for Qin Huaiyi to speak out: "Everyone should take a break quickly, and then let's go up the mountain to chop down trees. Brother Wen should be able to build a wooden house, right?"

Father Wen nodded repeatedly, "I will, I will."

"That's good. Please tell me, Coach Wen, how can we cover it?"

"Good good."

Fortunately, they had considered the issue of land reclamation and purchased tools such as hatchets, sickles, and hoes.

There are regulations for purchasing iron products, but at high prices, you can still buy the blacksmith's stock.

So now they have tools to use.

Because they were afraid of rain, everyone had decided to build a few temporary wooden houses to live in as soon as possible.

In order to have a stable life in the future, no one dared to rest too much. After sitting for a while, they started to work.

Qin Huaiyi took Qin Lie, the Wen family's father and son, and Wen Chenru to cut down trees on the mountain and dragged them back.

Fang Yuerong took Siqi and the Wen family's three mothers and daughters in turns to dig the ground and collect stones, grass roots and other things.

Qin Lin took the rest of the people to the mountains to collect firewood and some wild vegetables.

Everyone is busy.

Qin Jia said to Ye Hei: "Go and see if there are any pheasants, hares, etc. on the mountain, and come back with two in your mouth to replenish your health."

Ye left after listening to it.

Qin Hao's eyes were full of admiration, "Third sister, you are so amazing, you can actually make Ye Ting understand what you say!

The dog of Xiao Shitou's house next door can't understand human speech and doesn't respond when called by his name.

Our Ye Ting is so smart, he understands every time we call him. "

It's just that Ye Tingting understands it and is willing to pay attention to it after teasing it. If you want it to do something, it doesn't want to. It only listens to Qin Jia's words.

"Third sister, can you teach me how to talk to Ye Ting so that it will listen?"

Qin Jia smiled and rubbed his little head, "I'll tell Ye Heiwen later so that he can listen to you occasionally."

"Why occasionally?"

"Because it won't listen if it doesn't want to. Even if it is a dog, we can't force it to do what it wants."

Hearing this, Qin Hao felt a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, Third Sister, I didn't mean to force Ye to listen. Haohao likes him even if he doesn't listen."

"It doesn't matter, Ye Ting is very spiritual. Third sister now regards it as our family, so we don't want to force its temper."

Although it was a painted dog, Qin Jia could clearly feel Ye Ting's spirituality.

It has its own personality.

When I let him play, he just thought he didn't have to stand guard and just lay down and went to sleep.

It doesn't like to play, it likes to run, and it likes to be on guard.

That's why she didn't order him to play with Qin Hao. In her eyes, since it has its own likes and dislikes, it can be chosen.

***
  The sun was still hot, and everyone was sweating profusely from the heat, but the movements in their hands still did not stop.

Qin Jia was wearing three layers of thick clothes and really wanted to take them off.

Wearing a bikini in modern times and letting your feet out for air here are considered unruly.

It's so hot.

I really want to draw a modern villa and a power station! !

Of course, just think about it.

Seeing the sun starting to set, Qin Lin wiped the sweat from her face and said tiredly: "Okay, Sister Qian, let's go back, Zhishu."

"okay."

When they returned, Qin Huaiyi and others who were cutting trees on the mountain also came down.

All of them had their faces flushed by the sun.

Fang Yuerong boiled a large pot of mung bean water and was serving it in bowls for everyone.

"Hurry up and drink some to relieve the heat."

Mother Wen was watching the fire cooking soup.

The rich smell of chicken soup filled the air, making people's throats wet. Even the prisoners not far away could smell the smell.

But they didn't dare to think about it. Without the protection of the territory, let alone living a good life, they might be dragged away like two-legged sheep when they went out.

The nearby hill is barren, and people often go up it, so it is difficult to encounter wild animals.

Only when you leave this small mountain and go to a larger mountain farther away can you find rich wild animals, and the same danger will be greater.

Therefore, people living nearby may not be able to eat meat once a year.

All the vegetables are grown by myself and the little bacon that appears at the territorial market every few months.

Qin Lie was also surprised when he smelled the chicken soup, "Mom, where did the chicken come from?"

"Yeting brought two of them back."

"So awesome!" Qin Lie happily went over and rubbed Ye Ting's head.

Ye Ting looked calm, and Mao's eyes were confused and there was no fixed movement.

Although he was told so, Qin Jia didn't expect it to actually catch it, so he walked over and praised it, "It's awesome."

After hearing the owner's praise, Ye Ting was no longer calm, and her tail was wagging like a windmill.

Qin Lie was dissatisfied, "Hey, you partial dog, you look like you're asleep when I touch you, and you look like you're worthless when my sister touches you."

"That's because Ye Ting only recognizes the third sister as the main one. We are all family by the way, haha."

Not only the Qin family, but others also like Ye Ting very much.

Along the way, I don’t know how many nights it gave me a sense of security.

"Haha, come and get some soup."

The staple food is still hard dry pancakes, which are perfect for long journeys, even though they are not delicious.

They had already guessed that they would not be able to find food all at once even if they arrived in Rimuzhou, so they prepared several sacks of food, all of which were dry pancakes, and the rest were miscellaneous grains.

This kind of pancake is baked and dried, so it can be stored for a long time without going bad.

Although it is unpalatable, everyone is very satisfied if they can fill their stomachs. It is better than not being able to find anything to eat.

Qin Jia crushed the pancake and soaked it in the chicken soup, then ate it slowly.

Mother Wen, who was in charge of filling the soup, basically gave everyone the same amount. Except for her and Qin Hao, she picked several pieces of chicken legs, chicken breasts and so on.

One is their youngest, and the other is because Ye Ting is hers.
