Li Lanzhen turned around and saw the people from Hanjia Village, and suddenly burst out laughing.

Regardless of gender, age, or children, everyone's face and body were covered with mud and wet, probably from dew or rain.

But they were all laughing happily because they had harvested so much food that they could last for a few more days.

Looking at the four grandchildren surrounding him, who were turned into mud monkeys one by one, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the faces of Miaomiao and his three little grandchildren.

"Look, come here, let grandma wipe you off, you've all turned into mud monkeys. Come on, let's hurry up." The children ran in front chattering.

After walking for about another hour, Li Lanzhen saw the mountain stream Hukou that Xue Laohu's relative had mentioned.

In fact, this place is more like an arch spanning the middle of the valley, but the arch is broken in the middle. It looks quite majestic from a distance.

When the flood in the valley passes through there, it forms a small waterfall, so the noise is very loud and you can hear the sound of flowing water here.

Li Lanzhen thought to herself that even if a wooden bridge was built, children and timid women would probably not dare to cross it.

After walking for about half an hour, they finally arrived at this place.

A large flat square was formed here. Strangely, not much rainwater accumulated on it. All the rainwater flowed along the edge into the valley.

This place seemed like a square artificially created. Li Nanzheng was a little puzzled. After walking around it, he concluded that this was a masterpiece of nature.

No longer struggling, she said to her two sons, "Oldest and Youngest, let's put up the shed. I don't think it will take a while to get through."

Everyone in Hanjia Village wanted to live in this square, but they didn't know how to build a shed. Some of them came up with a solution: move three stones and erect a pillar, move three stones and erect a pillar, and then add a circle of stones on the edge after the shed was built.

Some people find it too troublesome and simply find three or five trees in the woods next to the square to build a shack for their family. Then they use a shovel or other tools to level the ground and then lay a straw mat on it. That's all they can do.

Li Lanzhen's thatched shed is wider than the shed below.

Han Mingde and his son were also setting up a shed here. The village chief stood outside the square and shouted, "Boss, you unfilial thing, come and build a shed for your parents. You have grown wings and only think about your own little family."

Li Shunde had no choice but to tell his son to continue working here. He went over to help his father build the shed.

The village chief glanced at Li Lanzhen, who didn't even look at him. "Old man, you are so cunning. You want to bring your three troublemakers to live here? Bah, you have a nice idea."

Li Lanzhen said to Li Shunde, "My dear, you can go. There are so many people here. If you and your family live together, it won't take up much space."

The village chief sighed in his heart. It seemed that Li Lanzhen had some ideas about him, otherwise she would have asked him to live with them in the shed built in the square.

There is strength in numbers. The shed at Li Lanzhen's home was built quickly, and it was more spacious and more solid than the last one.

Because there are many dead trees and broken branches in this forest, everyone used local materials and pressed a circle of stones on both sides of the branches, pressing them inside and outside to make it more solid.

It was covered with a layer of densely packed dry branches, then a layer of wet pine branches and leaves, and then some large-leaf branches, and then a few slightly thicker wooden frames were thrown on top to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.

After all this was done, Li Lanzhen came to the mountain stream.

This place is indeed very suitable for building a bridge. Li Lanzhen even suspects that there should have been a stone arch bridge here. Perhaps it was someone who traveled through time and space and built a stone arch bridge here. There is also a relatively flat square opposite.

Could it be that a time traveler had really lived here, or that there was some hermit who cultivated himself here? Maybe there were treasures hidden here. As soon as she finished thinking, the system, which had been silent for a long time, laughed at her, "What are you thinking about? You just want to get something for nothing. The host warns you not to think like that."

"You are the one who is dreaming. Why would I think of getting something for nothing? If there is, what would happen if I found it? If I hadn't found it, I would have buried it here and never seen it again.

Everything is about fate. Fate, do you understand? Fate means fate. If there is a treasure and I find it, it means that this treasure and I are destined to be together. Humph, you are a piece of iron, emotionless guy. You don’t understand shit.”

The system was once again speechless after being choked by Li Lanzhen. It rolled its eyes and said nothing.

Li Lanzhen estimated that the distance from this side to the other side was about five meters, and the edges on both sides were wide.

She was thinking about digging a groove on this side so that the wood could be stuck in it. This might make it stronger, but in any case, a rope would still be needed.

When she looked at her mall again, someone had already hung up ropes. There were three rolls in total, with three types of ropes. One was the thick hemp rope used for tug-of-war in later generations, another was a hemp rope that was half the size of the one used for tug-of-war, and the other was a green steel wire rope.

Moreover, the amount of food that needed to be exchanged was not much, so Li Lianzhen decisively exchanged it with cornmeal and put all three types of hemp ropes in his own space.

If you have it, you should exchange it and save it. You will need it in the future.

Li Lanzhen was standing there thinking about how to build the single-plank bridge. The village chief came up from behind and said, "Lanzhen, it's not easy for us to build a bridge here. How do we put the wood on it?"

"It's okay. There is strength in numbers. Three cobblers can be better than a Zhuge Liang. Let's discuss and see what we can do."

After lunch, each family sent a man in charge to the square. In the straw hut of Li Lanzhen's house, they started discussing how to cut down trees and build a bridge.

Li Lanzhen said, "I have a rope here. It can be used to transport large trees. You can discuss what else it can be used for."

Xue Lao Hu said first, "We shouldn't cut down a tree that's too big. If it's too big, it will take more time to transport it here, and it will be troublesome to put another one on top of it."

Han Shunde also said, "Yes, about as thick as an adult man's thigh, that's fine. Putting three side by side should be fine."

After everyone agreed, they discussed who would cut the trees, how to transport them, who would go to the tiger's mouth to scout the terrain, and whether they needed to dig a groove to store the trees.

Li Lanzhen will no longer participate and leave it to the men.

She threw the rope, which was as thick as a child's arm, on the ground and said to Li Mingjiang, "Second son, take good care of the rope. Let your father-in-law tell you how to use it."

Then he called Xue Nizi, his two relatives, and his sister-in-law to discuss how to prepare dry food.

While everyone was busy building the bridge, one person was also busy looking around, strolling around looking for an opportunity.
