After living on a desert island, they all plotted evil against me.

Basically, it meets the simple overnight stay needs and support prerequisites.

Calculate the time.

She estimated that if nothing else happened, the two sisters Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang would already be coming tonight or tomorrow morning.

In order to prevent the sisters from encountering the "no fire and no light" situation that they and the eldest lady encountered.

Xiang Wanying plans to bring resources to the transit bamboo house in the goat jungle and other areas, so that it can serve as a "connection between the past and the future".

Only now did she understand why Zhang Liu prioritized spending time building that bamboo house.

This bamboo hut is a near-perfect stopover for those who are exploring the forest or those who are descending into the mountains for hunting.

Although it is possible to go up the mountain from the foot of the mountain, it only takes half a day when the weather is clearest.

But for those who come out of the forest, this short half day will be magnified without limit.

Xiang Wanying and Xiang Lingying also suffered this loss before.

The transit bamboo house can provide a resting place.

"Zhao Yiran, Song Shuyao, I'll leave my eldest daughter to you two to take care of her." Xiang Wanying tightened her bookshelf and turned to the two girls behind her.

Then she walked into the rain.

The rain has lasted for two days and three nights.

This can be regarded as the longest rain anyone has ever seen.

And it not only lasts for a long time, but the most terrible thing is that it rains very hard.

It has been raining heavily since it started.

Under such circumstances, the "rainwater bearing capacity" of the entire mountain range has almost reached its limit.

At present, except for the areas covered by bamboo roofs, the mountainous area is completely muddy.

Thanks to Zhang Liu from the taro field who asked everyone to build up the area where taro is grown in advance.

At this moment, these high barriers are like field ditches, continuously draining the rainwater accumulated in the taro fields far below.

Stepping out of the corridor, standing on the muddy ground, Xiang Wanying stepped down. The shoes made of a mixture of rabbit skin and palm bark sank in half, and made a "squeaking" sound.

She lowered her head and glanced at her feet that were already in the mud. She didn't say anything more, but silently quickened her pace.

Behind Xiang Wanying were Song Shuyao and Zhao Yiran with expressions of admiration on their faces.

As for Xiang Lingying, he was still taking a nap in Bamboo House No. [-].

The two of them came out to see Xiang Wanying off after hearing her movements.

When Xiang Wanying walked near the bamboo forest, she unexpectedly encountered a little leopard who frantically swallowed the internal organs of a bamboo rat in his mouth because of the sight of her.

Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang have reached the ridge behind the goat jungle where they can see it from a distance.

Looking at each other, the two sisters quickened their pace.

The problems they encountered at this moment were very similar to those of Xiang Wanying and Xiang Lingying.

That's "just right" in terms of time

You can reach the foot of the mountain.

But if you want to go up the mountain, it will be dark time.

But for now.

Xiang Wanying, who said goodbye to the little leopard and then went down the mountain alone to the transit bamboo house, had already begun to solve this problem in advance for Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang.

Pulling open the door of the transit bamboo house, I felt the damp, cold, musty smell inside.

The head maid of the Xiang family couldn't help but frown slightly.

The breath that fills the tip of my nose really doesn’t smell very good...

Considering that the recent rain and wind have not been very strong.

In order to get rid of the musty smell as soon as possible, she simply removed the hanging door of the bamboo house.

Although there is no food or fresh water reserve in the transit bamboo house.

But the firewood reserves are indeed sufficient. Whether it is Zhang Liu or any girl, as long as they stay here overnight, they will subconsciously replenish the firewood reserves.

Near the door, there are three small bowls and two earthen pots placed on a bamboo bed used as a table.

This was left behind when Zhang Liu and Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang were cultivating bamboo houses here.

After removing the hanging door, Xiang Wanying breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she put an earthen pot outside with the idea that "it can catch a little rainwater."

As for the other earthen pot, I simply used part of the six liters of fresh water that I carried in my book basket for simple cleaning.

"Da da da da da..."

After cleaning, Xiang Wanying struck the flint to start a fire. Then she placed an earthen pot with a caliber similar to that of a small clay pot on the earthen stove and began to boil water.

As the head maid of the Xiang family, getting these tasks done is a piece of cake for her.

After finishing her work, Xiang Wanying sat next to the fire and did not quickly proceed with the next step of cleaning.

Looking at the earthen pot that was slowly emitting white mist, she began to arrange the work for tonight and tomorrow in her mind.

This is a habit Xiang Wanying developed as a maid.

Schedule two days of work in one day without thinking about big things.

Her priority was the situation at the mountainside shelter.

Currently, there is no shortage of food in the mountainside shelter. Taro can last for two days. The same goes for fresh water and firewood.

Therefore, when it comes to work, you can give priority to food considerations.

Given the situation in the pigsty, bricks still have a higher priority.

However, the test results of the bricks have not yet come out. If the bricks are fired again, it will obviously be a waste of resources...

Therefore, the status quo of the mountainside shelter remains unchanged, and you can consider going up the mountain to collect taro.

After considering the mountainside shelter, Xiang Wanying began to make arrangements for the transfer to the bamboo house.

In her opinion, the first thing to do is to greet Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang here who may come in the next second.

If they don't come.

Then it will be divided into two situations.

The first situation is that they may come at this time tomorrow morning. The two sisters are relatively slow, so the response is to wait.

The second situation is to directly become lost...

"Tsk..."

Slightly stunned, Xiang Wanying was startled by the idea she had considered.

But then she continued to finalize the plan.

If you don't come back, then go to the goat jungle tomorrow morning to check the trap situation. If you don't get anything, go straight back up the mountain.

But keep the fresh water reserve inside the transit bamboo hut.

If Qin Ruoyan, Qin Ruoshuang or others don't come back the day after tomorrow, I will need to go to the forest alone to see what's going on...

After Xiang Wanying finished arranging the work for today and tomorrow, the sky outside gradually became darker.

Just when she was cutting the taro into pieces and putting it on the earthen stove to roast a few pieces of taro for herself to satisfy her hunger.

Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang, who had trotted over because they saw fire inside the bamboo house, appeared at the door of the transit bamboo house.

Chapter 273 is really too restrictive.

"Sister Wanying..."

Standing at the door of the bamboo house, the exhausted Qin Ruoyan whispered to the head maid of the Xiang family who was cutting her own taro with her head down.

Next to her was Qin Ruoshuang, whose legs were weak...

Compared to her elder sister, this younger sister also has a book basket filled with tree bark behind her.

This thing is really heavy!

Qin Ruoshuang felt like she was carrying a tree stump.

"You are here!"

Seeing the two sisters, Xiang Wanying, who had already secretly prepared for the worst, suddenly became extremely happy.

He took the initiative to take the book basket for Qin Ruoshuang.

After just initially feeling the weight on her wrist, she suddenly showed a very surprised expression.

"What's here?"

Xiang Wanying glanced at the book basket full of tree bark, and then she asked.

"The bark of the cinchona tree can effectively prevent malaria." After looking at her sister for a long time and confirming that she was fine, Qin Ruoyan said to Xiang Wanying.

"The bark of the cinchona tree..."

Nodding, Xiang Wanying also knew something about this almost world-famous medicinal material.

"With this, we can prevent malaria and other things from happening in the future. After all, there are really many mosquitoes in the forest."

Speaking of this, Qin Ruoyan also had a helpless smile on her face.

During these days, if it weren't for the protection of the fire smoke, she suspected that she would be sucked dry by the mosquitoes that could be seen everywhere in the forest.

"We'll talk about this later. Let's wash your hands and eat something." Xiang Wanying's face was full of gentle smile at this moment. Then she picked up a bamboo tube filled with fresh water and handed it to Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang so that the twin sisters could Wash your hands first.

While Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang were washing their hands, Xiang Wanying pulled out taro pieces from the earthen stove and asked about her sweetheart: "Is Zhang Liu with his godmother and the others now?"

"Well, Gu Qingrou and the others should have started coming back this morning." Qin Ruoyan nodded and finished washing her hands and took the plate with four pieces of roasted taro.

Then she handed the plate to her sister and replied, "Teacher Zhou and the others should start returning tomorrow."

"Huh...huh...ah woo!"

Standing by and watching her sister chatting with Xiang Wanying, Qin Ruoshuang picked up a piece of taro from the plate and blew it a few times, then put it directly into her mouth and chewed it.

The taro powder paste she has been eating these past few days is easy to digest and can also provide a lot of energy.

But if you want to compare it with food like taro cubes, it will still be a little less "fulfilling" in nature.

Just as Qin Ruoshuang and Qin Ruoyan were having a great time eating taro, Xiang Wanying, who was looking at the two of them with a smile, found that the sound of raindrops that had been coming to her ears suddenly stopped.

"The rain has stopped!" she said as she walked to the door of the bamboo house and looked at the silent night outside.

call……

It was as if he was confirming Xiang Wanying's words.

A gust of evening wind blew slowly into the bamboo house.

Although there was a damp smell in it, there was no trace of rain.

This scene made Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang suddenly smile, remembering the time when they and Zhang Liu were hiding from the storm here.

At the same time, those who noticed that the raindrops had stopped were Gu Qingrou and Gu Xixi who were resting in Forest No. [-] Shelter.

After "putting aside the old grudges", the chatting relationship between the master and servant has returned to its former intimacy.

"Sister Xixi, can I really marry Zhang Liu directly in the future?"

At the moment, Gu Qingrou was sleeping on Gu Xixi's soft knees, receiving a head massage service, and there was a bit of disbelief in her tone.

Because what my maid said was a bit scary.

From the beginning to the present.

Even though she confessed her love to Zhang Liu yesterday and was accepted by him, Gu Qingrou's core idea was still to caress for a man, not to steal him.

But now in the process of massage.

However, she learned a piece of advice about "stealing men" from her head maid.

This made Gu Qingrou feel a little wrong, because for her, this was already a topic that she "didn't even dare to think about".
