Our neighborhood has been transported again.

Chapter 41 Settlement on the Ninth Day

The soil was piled up in the extended space behind the toilet, forming a thick heap on the ground, and several gray sweet potatoes were planted in the soil.

Although it looks a bit messy, sweet potatoes have always been a very resilient plant.

"Ow~"

The harpy eagle stood at the very top of the cage, its head squeezing through the gaps, howling at the four rabbits below.

The four rabbits were so frightened that they huddled together, squatting on the edge of the feeding trough.

Qin Ziwen patted the harpy eagle's wing. "What are you doing? Don't scare the rabbit to death."

"Ow~"

The harpy eagle jumped down from its cage and landed on Qin Ziwen's shoulder. Even without applying any force, its sharp claws squeezed him, causing him a dull ache.

The harpy eagle was overjoyed to find that its owner had kept four little snacks for it at home.

Qin Ziwen admonished, "Keep your voice down."

The bathroom door was closed, and I didn't know if the noise would carry downstairs. I don't know where this guy gets all this energy, he's like he's on steroids.

Before dinner, Qin Ziwen asked his younger brother to take a loach to Deng Guang's house.

For dinner, I simply cooked a bowl of loach and crocodile smoked meat soup.

Around 7 p.m., Xiao Xuemei knocked on the door and brought another power bank.

Qin Ziwen was somewhat surprised, "Sister-in-law, the power bank is fully charged."

Xiao Xuemei said, "I took it to the garage during the day to charge my car. You can use it for now. Let me know when you're done, and I'll get you a new power bank."

That evening, Qin Ziwen took out his solar-powered flashlight and turned it on to its lowest setting.

Then take out paper and pen to draw a more detailed map.

The map drawn this time mainly focuses on the downstream area of ​​the river.

They took out the overhead video recorded by the harpy eagle during the day and compared it with the footage to confirm the last location they had reached during the day.

The place where the hippos were found wasn't too far from the downstream tributary. Because they walked along the riverbank during the day, their path was actually a curve, not a straight line.

The backwater where the hippopotamus is located is only about a mile away from the tributary as the crow flies. If you walk along the riverbank, it would be about half the distance longer.

Draw a circle around the area where the hippopotamus roams, and specifically draw a picture of the hippopotamus.

"Brother, is that a wild boar?"

"That's a hippopotamus! Don't you have any artistic talent?"

Qin Ziwu shouted, "Big brother, don't talk about second brother."

It was almost nine o'clock when the map was finished.

It was already dark outside.

Qin Ziwen was lying in bed.

Suddenly, a heavy thud was heard outside the window.

"boom."

In the quiet night, the sound was exceptionally clear.

Qin Ziwen opened the curtains in the master bedroom a crack and looked out through the gap.

A person is lying down in front of the seven buildings across the street.

Someone jumped off a building.

He saw someone peeking out from the opposite balcony.

"Someone jumped off a building! Whose house was it?!"

I don't know who shouted.

The balconies of each household gradually filled with people.

Hearing the commotion outside, Qin Ziwu opened the door to the second bedroom and went to the balcony.

"Brother, someone jumped off a building."

"I saw."

"Should we go down and take a look?"

"No, I'm going to sleep. Don't meddle. You go to sleep too." "Okay."

After drawing the curtains, Qin Ziwen lay flat on the bed, his hands folded over each other, staring blankly at the ceiling. He didn't know when he had fallen asleep.

Qin Ziwen was woken up by his biological clock at five o'clock the next morning.

Check yesterday's daily settlement.

"You have successfully survived in the wilderness for nine days. Today you drew a rough map of the surrounding area and a regular map of the lower reaches of the river. Overall score: 20 points"

Rewards: Level 1 Blacksmith Shop (Building Card), Level 1 Cellar/Granary (Building Card), Mosquito Repellent (Building Card)

Blacksmith shop?
Qin Ziwen was taken aback, and subconsciously thought of Huang Tao's carpentry hut.

They were just a carpenter and a blacksmith.

Actually, what he wanted most was a blank expansion card.

However, these two buildings are also fine: a blacksmith shop and a cellar. They can upgrade the cellar to level 2. I wonder if the storage capacity of a level 2 cellar will be stronger.

He first looked at the cellar in the bedroom.

Choose to use directly.

The Level 1 cellar card in his hand transformed into a beam of light and merged with the original cellar.

The original single-layer wooden door was replaced with a double-layer thick pine door panel.

The outer layer is inlaid with three wrought iron bars, and the middle iron ring is wrapped in a layer of cowhide soaked in grease.

As I opened the door, a gust of cool air rushed out.

The cellar was colder than before.

The stone steps remain the same, but the walls and steps have become more regular, and a fine anti-slip texture has been carved into the surface of the steps.

Although the edges still have natural stone ridges, the corners have all been knocked off.

Ascending the stone steps to the bottom, the blue brick room is much larger than the one at level 1, with a spacious area that is even larger than the living room in my house.

Two more four-tiered wooden shelves were added against the wall.

At the same time, two more wooden beams were added overhead, making it convenient to hang things.

The most obvious change is the temperature inside the cellar. If the temperature inside the cellar was only a dozen degrees lower than outside before, it is now probably only a few degrees above zero.

In just a short while, Qin Ziwen felt goosebumps appear on his arms.

With the temperature so much lower, food can be stored for much longer.

He wandered around the cellar, even touching the cold brick walls with his palm.

I am very satisfied.

After exiting the cellar and closing the cellar door, I went to the extended area behind the bathroom.

Take out the Level 1 Blacksmith Building Card. This card requires a 3*4 area.

The area was quite large. Qin Ziwen looked around and finally decided to choose the open space on the right-hand side of the entrance.

The card transformed into light and merged into the open space. When the light dissipated, a semi-subterranean earthen house appeared on the spot.

The exterior is a wall made of rammed earth mixed with straw, and the roof is covered with layers of thick thatch.

There is a spacious wooden door in the middle.

He pushed open the door, and the wooden door made a creaking sound as the wooden hinges rubbed together.

The interior of the house is sunken and recessed, and when viewed from the bottom to the roof, it is about three meters high.

In the middle of the shop is a very conspicuous dark blue old iron anvil with an iron hammer lying horizontally on it. To the left of the anvil is a brand new pair of iron tongs, and to the right of the ground is a ceramic water jug.

On the north side of the anvil, against the wall, a simple furnace was built using fire clay mixed with stones, and there was a push-pull bellows on the side of the furnace.

Primitive and rugged.

A strong sense of déjà vu washed over me.

He pictured a shirtless blacksmith hammering away at the metal.

The ground was made of compacted loess, which was very hard to step on. He stomped his foot hard. Now that he had a blacksmith shop, all that was missing was metal ore, coal, and a blacksmith. Once he had all of these, he would be able to make all kinds of ironware himself.
