When they arrived at Fuhu Mountain, they unconsciously entered the depths of the mountain and walked to a valley, and there was no road ahead. The valley is a mile in circumference, surrounded by mountains, and there is only one path leading to the outside of the valley, which is the way they came at this time.

The valley is very flat, with patches of purple lilies, no more than two or three inches high, and a green one dotted with purple flowers, which is very beautiful. The flowers are interspersed with tall branches and unnamed flowers.

On the other side of the valley, there is a bamboo forest, about 30 zhang long, which extends from the mountain on that side, and in another three years and five years, the whole valley may become a bamboo forest.

There is also a meandering stream in the valley, which flows somewhere, the water is crystal clear and the fish are frolicking happily.

What a paradise.

A few people stopped at the entrance of the valley, and Xia Hongying smiled, "I think we have found a habitat." ”

The little dragon rode forward, stopped about two feet from the stream in the middle of the valley, turned and beckoned to the people, "Let's build a house here!" ”

The crowd laughed and told him the answer with the action of riding directly towards him.

The little dragon turned over and dismounted, and began to study the structure of the house. Xue Qing said that she would stay for a month or two at most, and now the weather is still warm, and the house is mainly protected from wind and rain.

Since there is such a large bamboo forest, it is better to build a bamboo house.

Xiaolong walked here and there, and measured the size with his footsteps from time to time, as if he was a very experienced master.

However, as the saying goes, handsome is no more than three seconds. Soon, Master Long began to scratch his head, and he didn't have to think about it to know that he was in trouble.

Xiaolong shouted, "Xiao Shuo, come here!" ”

Hearing that Xiaolong needed support, Xiaoshuo immediately ran over: "Xiaolong, what's wrong?" ”

"That...... That one...... I'll measure it again, you can help me remember it, and then help me do the math. "It turns out that Master Long has an average memory, and his arithmetic is even more average.

Xiao Shuo readily agreed, he was still good at this. Turning out a pen and paper, not only did he record the questions and numbers that Xiaolong said one by one, but Xiao Shuo also drew a simple diagram, and the two began to calculate over and over again.

Xia Hongying and the three of them didn't help, just watched them go about their work, although this kind of arithmetic was really too simple in their opinion.

Finally, Xiaolong pulled Xiao Shuo to report to Xia Hongying: "Hongying, look, let's live for a month, just build a bamboo house." The room is divided into three rooms, the room is one zhang five feet long and one zhang wide, Xue Qing lives in one room alone, one zhang long and one zhang wide. The three rooms are arranged in a straight line, and a pergola is built outside for cooking and eating. ”

Xia Hongying nodded in approval and motioned for him to continue.

"We need to find more rattan, tie the bamboo to make the wall and the roof, and then cover the roof with a layer of thatch, and cover the thatch with another layer of split bamboo chips, so that it will not leak rain; The interior wall can also be covered with a layer of thatch, fixed with bamboo sheets, warm and impermeable; The bottom of the room should also be covered with a layer of bamboo, one foot above the ground, so that even if it rains, there will be no water seepage in the house. ”

Xia Hongying smiled: "That's good, Xiaolong, then let's go back first." ”

"Huh? What to do when you go back? Xiaolong was puzzled again.

"You've said so much, and you need tools to really do it. There are ready-made bamboos, and we need a lot of thatch, rattan, etc., and we may not be able to find them for a while. ”

Xue Qing continued: "Moreover, this thatch should be dried, even if we find it, it will be several days to dry." Didn't we pass by a small village when we came? We can go and buy from the villagers, and we can also buy some rice. ”

"That's right!" Xiao Shuo also suddenly realized, "In addition to thatch, there are also axes and shovels, which need to be bought." ”

"Okay! Then let's hurry up and build the house today! ”

Soon, the materials and tools to be bought were bought, and enough rice grain was purchased for half a month.

Everyone acted separately, Bingyan and Xia Hongying were in charge of cutting bamboo, Xiaolong was digging a ditch, and Xiaoshuo was tying bamboo.

Xueqing was injured and the girl's family was in the girl's house, so everyone didn't let her do rough work, so she went to pick wild fruits and catch hares. But she didn't know how to cook, and when she had picked enough wild fruit and caught two hares, she stood there and watched the group go about their work.

In the end, she was really idle and panicked, picked up the flower language sword and ran to the bamboo forest to chop indiscriminately, and pieces of bamboo fell down in response. Poor Huayu Sword wanted to cry without tears, and a dignified sword was used to chop bamboo.

However, Bingyan and Xia Hongying found that this was much more efficient than them using an axe, so they went with her. They carried the fallen bamboo to Xiao Shuo's side, sawed it to the required length, and cut down the side branches and put them aside for the day's firewood.

With the Flower Language Sword, enough bamboo was quickly chopped, and Xue Qing went to help Xiao Shuo tie the bamboo together. Xia Hongying went to help Xiaolong dig a ditch, and in order to strengthen the wall, they dug the trench very deep.

Everyone gathered firewood and the flame was high, and soon the prototype of the house was formed. Then the thatch was laid, the second layer of bamboo was laid, and when the sun was slanting to the west, a delicate and beautiful hut was erected.

There were windows in each room, and the beds in the rooms were made of bamboo, covered with a thick layer of straw and sheets. There is also a simple shelf in each room for luggage.

Xue Qing looked at the room, and was quite satisfied in all aspects, but she still felt that something was missing. After much thought, she took out the jars and sprinkled some powder around the house to keep snakes, insects, rats and ants out.

Inspired by her, Xia Hongying and everyone processed the remaining bamboo, sharpened the ends of the bamboo, and arranged them in a staggered manner according to the thickness, forming a fence to form a line of defense. Although several people know martial arts, it is always good to be cautious.

It turned out that there was a little less sense of security, but Xue Qing was finally satisfied, and now she has everything she should have.

Xiaolong and Xiaoshuo roasted the two hares that Xueqing had brought back, and everyone ate wild fruits and dry food, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

Everyone was tired, and soon there was snoring in the house.

Maybe it's because she's too excited because she's never tried to live in the house she built, maybe it's because she hasn't adapted to this environment yet, or maybe she's not tired because she doesn't do much, in short, Xueqing has insomnia.

She habitually jumped onto the roof, only to find that the ice flames were not far away.

Xue Qing sat beside him: "Do you also like to watch the sky?" ”

"I don't know."

"And what are you doing on the roof?"

"Get used to it." Bingyan didn't lie, it was indeed a habit, and since he woke up, he liked to sit alone on the roof in a daze. He didn't know why, he just felt as if he was looking for something, and he didn't know if there would be an answer at the end of the sky.

Xue Qing didn't speak again, just sat quietly beside him, and occasionally said a very abrupt sentence or two, but Bing Yan didn't feel abrupt, but felt that it was natural, it should be like this.

"Look, Meteor!"

Ice Flame looked up, and sure enough, he saw a little light streak across the sky, and soon, another, dozens of meteors appeared in half an hour.

Xue Qing looked at the sky: "It's so beautiful......"

Bingyan looked at her, his heart was filled with warmth, strange and familiar, very comfortable, and he wanted to get closer. At the same time, he felt a trace of fear, and he was afraid that he would be infatuated with this feeling.

A gust of wind blew, with a hint of coolness.

"It's cold, let's go back."

"Good!"
