Our neighborhood has been transported again.

Chapter 98 [Building Card] Fish and Shrimp Ditch

He was prepared to give it a try, but not too many.

If the guess is wrong, the porridge can still be eaten for breakfast, so it's not a waste.

He poured some rice into the pot and then added water.

Next to the stove was a large wooden ladle, more than a meter long. It contained more water than rice, and after looking at it, I felt that something was missing.

I slapped my forehead – how could we forget wild vegetables!
Arriving at the farmland, he picked some purslane, which Xiao Xuemei had given him earlier. There wasn't much, so he casually planted it in the ground.

After several days of planting, the purslane is in much better condition, but the leaves don't seem to have grown much.

After washing the wild vegetables, return to the porridge shed and add them to the porridge.

Then stir vigorously.

After boiling over high heat for nearly thirty minutes, the rice in the pot had already bloomed and become slightly sticky, with some sparse pieces of vegetable leaves floating on top. The soup was clear and bright, and he could even see his own reflection when he looked up.

Qin Ziwen pondered to himself, "Is this porridge too watery?"

How could there be refugees with such thin porridge?

"Please, sir, grant me a meal."

"Master! Master Qing Tang!"

From the side, two people suddenly appeared out of nowhere, walked up to me, and knelt down with a thud.

The two men were dressed in rags, their hair was disheveled, and their faces were covered in dust; it was unclear how long they had gone without food.

"Eat up." Qin Ziwen ladled a bowl of porridge for each of them from the pot.

The two gulped it down, drinking very quickly.

After they finished eating, the two curled up on the straw mat on the ground next to them.

Qin Ziwen glanced at the two of them and tapped the side of the pot with his spoon: "Can you do anything?"

The two of them scrambled to their feet. "Please feel free to give us your orders, sir."

"Let's go dig some iron ore," Qin Ziwen said, pointing to an iron mine not far away.

The two refugees were taken aback, looked at each other in bewilderment, and then headed towards the iron mine with bitter expressions.

Seeing that the area around the soup kitchen hadn't disappeared even after the two left, Qin Ziwen pondered. It seemed that the refugees attracted by the soup kitchen weren't limited to the area of ​​the tavern, unlike those attracted by the tavern.

A short while later, a knocking sound came from the mine, clanging and banging for a while before abruptly stopping.

When Qin Ziwen went inside, he found that the person had disappeared without a trace. There were only two pickaxes lying on the ground and a few pieces of mined iron ore.

"It seems these refugees can't do heavy work. They'll slack off and run away after a while." Qin Ziwen immediately realized that if they couldn't even mine, they would probably run away even more quickly if taken out hunting or fighting.

It's only good for showing off when you go out.

Looking at the remaining thin porridge in the pot, Qin Ziwen poured it out and decided to have it for breakfast.

After he finished several spoonfuls of porridge and left, two more refugees entered the porridge stall.

After finding no one in the porridge stall, they looked around. Some even walked to the large iron pot, peered inside, muttered something under their breath, and then turned and left. As they walked away, their figures gradually disappeared from the spot.

After breakfast, Qin Ziwen, Deng Guang, and Du Yu went up the mountain.

I've traveled this route several times; it passes through the hunting grounds of leopards.

But this time, the leopard was not seen.

Upon arriving outside the cave, Qin Ziwen prepared to go in, but Du Yu stopped him, saying, "My lord, there are unknown dangers deep within the cave. Let me go instead."

Qin Ziwen readily accepted good advice.

Soon, Du Yu came out and handed the card to Qin Ziwen.

Qin Ziwen took the [Construction Card] Fish and Shrimp Ditch.

Then he handed it to Deng Guang.

After receiving the card, Deng Guang couldn't stop smiling; good news always puts one in high spirits. Walking behind Deng Guang, Qin Ziwen suddenly thought of something.

Li Tieshan and the horned eagle couldn't touch the cards, so why was Du Yu able to?

Was it because they were summoned by recruitment cards, or for some other reason?

Qin Ziwen asked Du Yu, "Did you have any unusual feelings when you received the card?"

Du Yu hesitated, "Sir, are you referring to the voice that appeared in my mind when I received the card? It told me that this is a building card."

"Only a building card? Nothing else."

"Yes, sir."

Qin Ziwen felt that either the people recruited by the tavern were special, or Du Yu himself was special.

Once we recruit another person from the tavern and try it out again, we can confirm our decision.

Back in the neighborhood, I could see groups of two or three people gathered together, watching something.

Would they still dare to gather at a time like this?
Qin Ziwen and his two companions silently walked around them.

Back home, I went to my bedroom and looked out the window.

In the open space surrounded by people, two people were wrestling and fighting on the ground.

The crowd was separated as a new group of people arrived, separated the two sides fighting on the ground, and took them away. The onlookers were also dispersed by the newcomers.

After dinner, just as I was about to practice archery, Deng Guang came to my door asking for help.

He plans to tidy up his living room, as some of the furniture is quite heavy and difficult to move.

Qin Ziwen readily agreed, as Deng Guang was probably going to use cards and make room for them.

He was also planning to see what kind of structure this fish and shrimp ditch was.

When Qin Ziwen arrived at Deng Guang's house, he found that Deng Guang had already moved the TV cabinet, air conditioner unit, and some stools, leaving only a few heavy items.

"I originally invited you and Dr. Zhao, but Shuhuan said Dr. Zhao wasn't home," Deng Guang said with a smile. He wasn't the type to make a big fuss, so he only invited the families of Qin Ziwen and Zhao Pu.

"He's probably busy." Qin Ziwen rolled up his sleeves, and he and Deng Guang worked together to move the sofa that was against the wall.

He noticed that Deng Guang moved some unwanted items into a small room and then cleared out all the space along the wall in the living room.

Qin Ziwen asked, "Where should we put this sofa?"

Deng Guang was conflicted. He wanted to throw it away, but he couldn't bear to part with it, and keeping it would take up space.

"Let's put it in the middle," Deng Guang said, pointing to the center.

Finally, Deng Guang's living room turned into a strange sight, with the middle piled with furniture and appliances, but the area around the wall was left empty.

Deng Guang took out a card, and the card in his hand transformed into a beam of light that merged into the surroundings.

When the light fades.

A ditch along the corner of the wall came into view. This ditch was like a small ditch by the field. It contained water, stones, some aquatic plants, and moss, and had become a small river with a complete ecosystem. What was amazing was that this small ditch was self-contained and formed an opening.

I don't know where the water inside comes from.

After activating the card, Deng Guang's eyes were somewhat vacant, as if he were looking at something.

Qin Ziwen looked at the small ditch and found it interesting. Could this fish and shrimp ditch be a place specifically for raising small fish and shrimp?

Just then, a line of text appeared before my eyes: "[Initiating an investigation. Permission check in progress. Investigation successful]"

[Level 1 Fish and Shrimp Ditch: Level 1 abundant aquatic plants, Level 1 increased aquatic animal growth]

Qin Ziwen's eyelids twitched; he could also discern the essence of other people's architecture.

He silently apologized to Deng Guang, knowing that Deng Guang hadn't meant to look at him carelessly.

"Knock knock." There was another knock on the door. Xiao Xuemei went to open it.
As soon as Zhao Pu entered the door, he couldn't help but ramble on: "Sigh, there's so much going on at the mutual aid association. There was even a fight today."
