Our neighborhood has been transported again.

Chapter 100 Settlement on the Twentieth Day (Third Update)
As the sun set, Wang Xiaoli carried a large bucket of water, laboriously lifting it to 202.

Hearing the violent coughing coming from inside the room, she instinctively tightened her mask.

He placed the bucket on the ground by the door and then knocked on it.

A short while later, the door creaked open a crack.

Wang Xiaoli wanted to put the bucket inside the house as usual.

But the door was blocked. Grandma Li covered her chest, waved her hand with difficulty, turned around, coughed a few times with her hand over her mouth, and pointed to the stool by the door with her free finger.

On the stool was a large bag containing some dried-out fruit, as well as some smoked meat and rice.

Wang Xiaoli paused for a moment, then picked up the bag; it was so heavy.

It's so heavy! I wonder if Grandma Li gave me all the leftover food in her house.

"Walk."

A hoarse voice came from inside the door.

Wang Xiaoli picked up the bag, bowed to Grandma Li, turned and went upstairs. After taking two steps, she stopped and turned her head back.

The door behind me slammed shut.

As the setting sun shone on the wall, Wang Xiaoli vaguely recalled that a week ago, around this time, when she returned home in the afternoon, she saw Grandma Li's hunched back as she struggled to carry a bucket of water.

I went to help as if by some strange impulse.

After she reached the second floor, just as she was about to leave, Grandma Li stopped her, gave her an apple, and asked her, "My back isn't very good, and I also have to take care of my husband. Could you help me carry some water every day? I don't want you to do this for nothing."

From then on, she would help Grandma Li carry a bucket of water every day. Sometimes Grandma Li would give her some candy, sometimes some fruit, and sometimes some dried fruit.

She gradually got used to it.

Anyway, she usually goes for a walk downstairs after dinner, but these past few days a contagious disease has been spreading in the neighborhood, so she hasn't been going out much. She just goes to get a bucket of water when there are fewer people around at dusk.

Behind the closed door, came the sound of Granny Li coughing laboriously.

Carrying the bag in her hand, Wang Xiaoli silently walked upstairs. For some reason, she felt that the bag in her hand was heavy.

When I got home, I put the big bag on the table and took out the contents.

Before retrieving my items, I made a point of washing my hands with hand sanitizer in the restroom.

Dried smoked meat, shriveled fruit, a small box of figs, half a bag of walnuts, a small bag of rice, two candies wrapped in colored paper, two unopened new face masks, and half a box of cold medicine.

When Wang Xiaoli saw the cold medicine, her hands trembled. She was now certain that Grandma Li was indeed entrusting her child to someone else.

Thinking about this, she felt inexplicably depressed.

He sat down on the sofa, ran his hands into his scalp, and looked somewhat lost.

She didn't know what to do.

By the way, building manager.

Our building has a building manager.

Wang Xiaoli's eyes lit up.

He quickly ran downstairs and knocked on Zhao Pu's door.

After listening to Wang Xiaoli's story, Zhao Pu remained silent for a moment, then said, "I'll go downstairs with you to take a look."

Standing in front of room 202, Zhao Pu felt a mix of emotions.

In the past two days, Granny Li in the house has asked him for herbs several times, and even said that she could exchange them for rice. He went to ask, but the herbs that can stop coughs and inhibit bacteria are in short supply within the Tongmeng Mutual Aid Association.

He asked several times, and they all said they didn't have any left.

He knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside.

The two stood at the door for more than ten minutes, but seeing that the door inside remained closed, they had no choice but to leave.

Zhao Pu shook his head. "Then there's nothing I can do. The elderly have weaker resistance to infectious diseases, I guess."

Since the time travel, similar incidents have frequently occurred in the neighborhood.

Some elderly people choose to end their own lives after their spouses have met with an accident, having no other ties to bear, rather than continue to suffer alone.

Wang Xiaoli hesitated, "Is there no other way?"

Zhao Pu shook his head: "No, but the Tongmenghui has a special team to handle corpses. After confirming that the homeowner is dead, they will enter the house to clean up the body, and the remaining items in the house will also belong to the team that cleans up the body."

"Ah?!" Wang Xiaoli's face showed pity. "Grandma Li, she..."

"I don't know." Zhao Pu said, "Alright, go home and rest. Try to minimize going out. But if you want to join a gathering team, you can tell me, and I can ask if there are any new teams recruiting."

Wang Xiaoli said softly, "Thank you, Dr. Zhao."

"You are welcome."

After watching Zhao Pu leave, Wang Xiaoli turned back to the door. She went up to it and knocked. "Grandma Li, it's me, Wang Xiaoli. Grandma Li, are you home?"

"Hey, keep your voice down," the homeowner said as the door to room 201 opened.

Wang Xiaoli bit her lip.

This time she didn't speak, but just kept knocking on the door. Finally, perhaps she was disturbed.

Grandma Li opened the door, looked up at Wang Xiaoli with a complicated expression, and said, "Good girl, go and get some rest. This old woman just wants to get a good night's sleep."

After a pause, Granny Li said, "You are still young, like a flower, live a good life."

After saying that, he closed the door.

"Brother, I've been practicing for two days, and my arms feel like they're about to break." Qin Ziwu rubbed his arms as he sat on a small stool, watching his older brother practice archery.

"If you're feeling tired, stay here a little longer; this place can help you recover." As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Ziwen released the bowstring, hitting the bullseye.

During practice, Qin Ziwen felt his archery skills improving rapidly, but once he left the Tianxing Archery Corridor, that divinely inspired feeling would disappear.

Fortunately, the feel for archery that you develop during practice won't disappear. As long as you practice diligently, your archery skills will improve sooner or later.

However, I used a bow provided by Tianxing Archery Gallery. If I had used a compound bow, the feel might have been different.

Thinking of this, Qin Ziwen frowned, but suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him.

He turned around and went back to the bedroom, taking out his bow and arrow equipment box.

Take out the compound bow from inside, and then enter the Sky Star Arrow Corridor with the compound bow.

The feeling of amplification as my fingers touched the bowstring hadn't disappeared!

He then turned to look at the arrow box used to hold carbon fiber broadheaded arrows, took one out, and aimed at the target in the distance.

"Duh!!!"

The target swayed heavily.

The arrow pierced straight through the grass target, tearing it open in large sections.

He fired all fifteen arrows in a row, then looked down at the empty quiver.

He carried the bow and flask out the door and then came back in.

The quiver was miraculously refilled, and at the same time, the arrows that had been shot at the grass target disappeared.

"Haha." Qin Ziwen couldn't help but burst into laughter.

He found a new use for the Celestial Arrow Corridor. This building grants a bonus to archery skills, but it doesn't specify which type of bow to use; bows brought in from elsewhere also count.

In addition, the special effect of being able to generate an unlimited number of arrows eliminates the previous problem of not being able to practice freely due to the limited number of carbon fiber arrows.

Qin Ziwen practiced until after 10 p.m. before stopping.

I took a shower, then lit the lanterns in the tavern to prepare for welcoming customers.

Feeling a bit bored during his free time, he simply took out the two fragments of a mountain animal atlas he had acquired the day before.

These fragments seem useless, as I haven't encountered most of the plants and animals described on them. But then I thought, the forest is so vast, with so many kinds of plants and animals; it's fate if we encounter them, and it's normal if we don't.

The two newly acquired fragments of animal illustrations record four animals: forest mayfly, cave giant toad, monkey-eating old man, and hind cat.

Qin Ziwen viewed it as an educational documentary about animals, expecting to find all sorts of unfamiliar things, but he actually found something familiar.

The Monkey Eater!
Solitary birds, adults have a wingspan of over 6 meters, with some individuals reaching 8 meters.

It is fierce and feeds on monkeys, apes, and small to medium-sized mammals. It likes to lift its prey into the air and throw it down. It also catches other smaller birds. Its pulling force can reach 100-150 kg and its grip strength can reach 280 kg.

After reading two pages of the illustrated guide, Qin Ziwen noticed that Du Yu seemed curious, so he handed him the remaining page.

Qin Ziwen asked, "Can you read the words on it?"

Du Yu frowned, stared for a long time, and finally shook his head. "I think I understand. Some of the characters are similar to the characters we use, but they are not the same."

"Haha, it's alright, I'll teach you." Qin Ziwen chatted with Du Yu while teaching her the characters.

As Du Yu listened to the adults' story, he would sometimes shake his head and sometimes sway his head, his eyes sparkling with wonder.

"My lord, these rare and exotic beasts are truly amazing. I have never heard of any such creatures in the Great Yong. This giant bird can actually catch and eat people. Its strength is truly terrifying. However, it is a big target, so it is easy to deal with. These birds look big, but they are not heavy. As long as we prepare bows and crossbows in advance, we can fire several arrows at once when it comes down, and we will definitely be able to hurt it."

"It's strange, but after the old monkey-eating man came twice, he never came again."

"It's probably gone to find other prey. The paper says it lives alone, so its hunting range must be quite large."

Qin Ziwen smiled slightly: "Perhaps it's because the two worlds are different."

He glanced at the quiet curtains. "Looks like there are no guests today. Let's get some rest."

"Okay sir!"

Du Yu slept on the sofa in the living room. The sofa in the living room could be folded up and unfolded into a bed.

Qin Ziwen used to like sleeping on the sofa, and he felt that the sofa was sometimes more comfortable than the bed.

I returned to the master bedroom and closed my eyes to rest.

I woke up the next day and checked yesterday's settlement.

"You have successfully survived in the wilderness for twentieth day. You obtained a card from the altar and gifted it. Overall score: 42 points"

You have received the following rewards: [Building Card] Level 1 Salt Well, [Resource Card] Level 1 Quarry, 10 Nylon Woven Bags
