Lan Yueting, Su Yan, and Gu Qingrou were already holding half-meter-long machetes and starting to chop branches off the nearby dry trees just like Zhang Liu.
Lan Yueting and Gu Qingrou were responsible for chopping, while Su Yan was responsible for carrying the fruits back and forth and stacking them.
They also planned to use the firewood to form a simple circle.
Nine people can sleep inside, and it can provide a simple windproof function.
As for Xiang Wanying and Xiang Lingying, they relied on the fact that they had been here before, so they went straight down the mountain with two small knives.
Because of the existence of the bamboo forest, there is a natural half-meter wide path in the normal forest.
The two planned to look for the bamboo fungus that Zhang Liu mentioned along the way. If they could collect it successfully, they could have some mushroom stewed mutton soup tonight.
"Sister Wanying, what were you and Zhang Liu doing last night?" Walking on the road with her head maid, Xiang Lingying hesitated for a few seconds before asking about what had been on her mind.
"Miss... I like Zhang Liu, so I want to marry him with you, is that okay?" Xiang Wanying stopped and said loudly, "Please allow me!"

The fifth chapter update was also completed that day.
Well, I’m a bit tired. After all, I’m a part-time writer.
I leave this message specially just to celebrate myself, because this is the 26th chapter of the monthly ticket reward, which means that half of the monthly ticket reward I owe has been removed.
Super great news!
From now on, Xixi will also strive to update 10,000 words every day. Thank you all for your support.
Chapter 319: After becoming arrogant and no longer being arrogant, it becomes very difficult to be defeated.
After hearing the words of her head maid, Xiang Lingying turned her head to look at Xiang Wanying who stopped behind her after speaking.
Then a look of confusion and surprise appeared on her face.
Feeling the pressure of the gaze of my own young lady.
Xiang Wanying pursed her lips which were a little dry due to nervousness.
Then she repeated what she had just said: "Miss, I want to marry Zhang Liu with you!"
Before saying this, Xiang Wanying also went through a psychological struggle.
The source of her inner struggle was her request to Lingying to join the hunt.
The firmness and seriousness shown by the other party at that time made Xiang Wanying realize that she should not make decisions for the other party on her own.
What finally forced her to make up her mind was the recollection of the "frozen feet" incident between Anya and Zhang Liu.
The tenderness and unconditional care that Zhang Liu showed to Anya at that time made Xiang Wanying understand what it meant to be short of time.
"Sister Wanying, do you mean that you have completed your investigation on Zhang Liu, so he can be my boyfriend?" Xiang Lingying spoke slowly, and his expression gradually became serious.
This is a matter involving major events in one’s life.
She couldn't afford not to confirm it carefully.
From the perspective of marriage, Zhang Liu is still an object of Xiang Lingying's affection, rather than a dependent or even the best person to be taken care of in marriage like Xiang Wanying.
"Yes, Miss, and during this time together, I have fallen in love with Zhang Liu." Seeing that Lingying did not show any resistance or other negative emotions at the first time, Xiang Wanying was relieved, and then she explained her words softly: "To be precise, it's not love, but I am very sure that if I accompany you to marry him in the future, I will live happily with him."
She still had something in her heart that she hadn't said.
That is... "Miss, let's work together to speed up. You don't know how H the humming sounds of Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang were that night!"
"Hmm..." Hearing Xiang Wanying's words, Xiang Lingying nodded seriously.
From her recent secret observation of Zhang Liu, she can be sure that he is a very suitable marriage partner.
Be careful in doing things.
Consider things carefully.
Be gentle to others.
"Well... okay!" After taking a deep breath, he said to Lingying, "Sister Wanying, I'll ask you to talk to Zhang Liu... I'm waiting for his confession."
When she said the last two words, her cheeks turned red.
"Okay!" After receiving the accurate approval from her eldest daughter, Xiang Wanying realized that her future marital happiness had reached 80% and she only needed to defeat everyone to get to the top.
When she thought about herself and the eldest lady living with Zhang Liu, the smile on her face was so happy.
Then the two of them walked down along the naturally formed path along the edge of the bamboo.
But what disappointed Xiang Wanying and Xiang Lingying was that they were unable to find any bamboo fungus growing in the bamboo forest.
Even though they saw the white stuff from a distance, when they ran over they only saw a mass of smelly mud that smelled like soap.
There was also a relatively stiff black shell on the mud, which looked slightly similar to the bamboo fungus egg shell.
The Xiang family masters and servants who lived in the city had eaten bamboo fungus more than once.
They have even seen bamboo fungi that were brought back with mud and soil removed by special personnel to ensure their freshness.
But the two of them didn't know that the bamboo fungus usually matures in the morning when its stems and skirts are scattered.
Then, within about two hours, it will complete the process of growing taller until the lace umbrella on the outside opens, and then the bamboo fungus completely withers.
As they had just arrived here in the afternoon, all they could see was a pile of naturally rotten yellow-white mud.
The white mud that can be noticed is considered to have decayed at a relatively late stage.
Most of the bamboo fungi had already turned into the same color as the soil and fallen leaves, and could not be found at all.
After searching in vain, Xiang Wanying and Xiang Lingying could only walk back dejectedly.
At this moment, the western sky has been dyed with a bright red color, which means that dusk and night are approaching.
It also means that tomorrow will be a good day like today.
At this moment, Zhang Liu had already lit a bonfire on the eastern hillside of the mountain.
He was busy building a simple stove with large pieces of mud in preparation for dinner.
Around the campfire is a wall with a hole of about half a meter, covering an area of 20 square meters and a diameter of about seven meters. It is surrounded by branches and is still getting thicker.
This is a windproof and warming circle created by Lan Yueting, Su Yan, Gu Qingrou, and the two sisters Qin Ruoshuang and Qin Ruoyan.
Over the past few days, they have also mastered how to quickly build walls.
That is to use branches about one meter high to insert parallel to the ground, and after filling the branches with various weeds and branches, a simple natural fence is completed.
The one-meter-long branch was cut from the tree by Lan Yueting and others.
The weeds and shrubs used as filler were collected by Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang from the ground everywhere around them.
With the cooperation, the whole process can be considered very portable and convenient.
At present, the five people are constantly increasing the thickness of the wall.
By the way, it also increases the firewood reserves.
"You're back." Zhang Liu had just finished making a fire, and when he looked up, he saw the master and servant coming over dejectedly. He then smiled and asked, "What's wrong? You look a little dejected."
“Hmm…” He raised his head and looked at Lingying with a somewhat gloomy expression.
She currently has little presence in the entire team, so she really wants to show her usefulness.
As a result, the first time I took the initiative to collect bamboo fungus, I failed.
This was extremely bad news for Xiang Lingying, who was ready to accept Zhang Liu's confession and agree to it.
"The bamboo fungus seems to have melted?" Looking at Zhang Liu in confusion, Xiang Wanying scratched her head and whispered, "Although I don't know how to put it, it seems to have melted..."
"Huh?" Zhang Liu, who also didn't know that bamboo fungus would rot, turned his head and looked confused.
"I know!" Just when the three were confused about this matter, Anya, who had gone up the mountain with her family to collect black truffles and had some knowledge of mushrooms, started to explain the growth of bamboo fungus by the fire.
After she finished explaining, she looked at Xiang Wanying and Xiang Lingying who had suddenly realized what was going on and said rather embarrassedly, "Actually, I only remembered this after hearing what you said. Otherwise, you wouldn't have made this trip in vain."
"Ms. Anya, you..." Xiang Wanying was a little dazed when she saw Anya taking the initiative to apologize to herself and the eldest lady.
When did the other party start...
So easy to talk to?
Chapter 220: Experienced boys are particularly skilled at doing it
"What...what's wrong?" Anya felt a little uncomfortable when Xiang Wanying stared at her.
She stretched out her hand to smooth her soft hair, and then asked in a low voice: "Did I say anything wrong?"
"No..." After taking a deep look at the girl in front of him whose attitude had suddenly changed drastically, Xiang Wanying shook her head slightly and said, "There is nothing wrong with what you said."
Feeling that there was something wrong with the tone of the head maid beside him, Xiang Lingying turned her head in surprise.
But when she saw that the other person had walked over with a smile to help pick up branches and firewood, she also joined the team picking up things.
When the sun gradually set, nine people, including one man and eight women, sat together in a "circle wooden wall" surrounded by hay and branches and began to enjoy a carbohydrate-protein feast of taro and mutton.
There is no direct open air above their heads, but there is a roof to provide shelter.
This was made by the girls under the leadership of Zhang Liu after they completed the wooden wall. It can completely reflect heat and provide possible rain protection.
Unlike the tight seams in the walls where no light can be seen, the ceiling was completed in a hurry before dark, so the hole on it is still a little big...
As time was running out, Zhang Liu used a machete to cut off a bamboo that was about 20 meters long and 10 centimeters thick.
First, remove all the branches and leaves at the joints, and then split it in half from the middle.
Having had experience in breaking bamboo, he was extremely skilled at this.
But other girls like Xiang Wanying, Lan Yueting and others who had never seen the process of breaking bamboo were surprised that Zhang Liu could just stretch out his hands and pry open both sides to break a bamboo that was more than 20 meters long.
They all made "Wow" sounds, and their eyes were wide open, obviously showing an expression of surprise.
This greatly satisfied the boy's extremely simple vanity.
After remaking nine bamboo bowls, and roasting some of the bamboo over the campfire to make fresh bamboo juice for use as a drink.
Zhang Liu split the remaining bamboos that had been split in half into strips of ceiling supports, and then he sighed inwardly.
Bamboo is indeed a good thing!
With the support made of bamboo strips and rattan, it is much easier to complete the ceiling.
Basically, you just need to find large green leaves such as palm leaves and banana leaves, stack them up, press them down with thinner bamboo strips, and tie them up with vine bark.
As for the problem of supporting beams, it is not a problem at all with the magical plant bamboo.
Zhang Liu simply chopped down another bamboo, split it in half, and got two straight beams that were two seconds long.
Dig the hole and insert the bamboo directly into the hole.
The installation process is simpler.
The saying that there is strength in numbers is undoubtedly demonstrated in this simple project that only requires strength to lift the roof...
The night gradually deepened.
Everyone had finished dinner and were now sitting in the shelter. Gu Qingrou also made a small fence and blocked the half-meter gap that was left.
So after they sat down, their view was blocked by the wooden wall.
If only part of the vision is affected, the person may feel that there is danger lurking in the invisible side.
But if the surroundings are completely blocked and there are companions around, then the only thing left is a sense of security.
At this moment, the girls were sitting together watching the after-dinner show.
That is to see how the boy in front of you fiddles with the soil in his hands.
After dinner, I was bored, but I couldn't go down the mountain to cut bamboo to make tools for killing wild boars.
So Zhang Liu planned to do something else to pass the time before going to bed.
He first made a square mold with a branch about the thickness of a finger, then filled the mold with clay evenly until it became a square piece and took it out with the gentlest force.
