I rely on infrastructure systems to build a prosperous village

half an hour later

Li Lan, Li Run, and Li He stood at the foot of the northern side of the mountain. Looking out, she was overwhelmed with joy when she saw the large expanse of rocks. She quickly jumped down from the ledge, ran over, picked up the rocks, and laughed heartily.

"These are pebbles, pebbles." The smooth touch made her happy. But after a while, she frowned again and cursed in her heart: "Bah, this thing can't even fill my stomach, what's the use of it?"

"Sister, does this stone have any use?" Li Run couldn't help asking when she saw her sister almost going crazy.

"It's no use. I've been lying on the kang for a few days and felt a little suffocated. I just released some emotions. Oh, I feel better." Li Lan turned his head away and did stretching exercises.

Li He scratched his head, not understanding.

"Sister, look, that's the reservoir in our village. When it's not dry, everyone washes clothes and plays in the water here." Li Run pointed to the distance.

Li Lan looked in the direction of his hand and saw five square pools about 5 meters wide.

I hurried closer to take a look. Several pools were paved with neatly arranged stone slabs. The pools were square and flat inside. One side had a drain, presumably for draining dirty water. It was now blocked. A long stone staircase led down one side of the pit, presumably for easy access during low tide. A stone tablet stood nearby: "Lijia Village Pool." But the water looked almost empty.

Looking at the entire stretch of pebbled beach, Li Lan thought: These must have originally been a few natural puddles. Later, our ancestors discovered that they could continuously seep groundwater, so they made reservoirs to protect their descendants. It's likely that hundreds of years ago, there was a large river, but it's unknown what caused the puddles to form.

"Oh, isn't this Miss Lan? This is great!" a woman said loudly.

Li Lan's thoughts were interrupted, and he looked to his left where the sound came from. It turned out to be Aunt Wang from next door.

Aunt Wang's family is an outsider household with seven members. Her husband is Zhou Yougen, and her eldest son is Zhou Xiaoshu. He is married to Huang Tao and has a son, three-year-old Zhou Yin. Her second son, Zhou Xiaolin, is 16 years old. Their daughter, Zhou Xiaoping, is the same age as Li Lan and they often play together.

"Aunt, I'm much better now. I was worried about my family and couldn't stay home any longer, so I brought my brothers to visit me," Li Lan said as she walked over.

"You've always been a sensible person. Go ahead, your uncle and the others are over there. I have to quickly fetch water to the fields. It's a lot of work to carry back and forth." Aunt Wang said as she pointed to where her uncle and the others were.

"Okay, auntie, then you go and get busy." Li Lan said quickly.

After Aunt Wang left, Li Lan didn't take Li Run and Li He with her. Instead, she turned and headed for another hilltop. She now had a general idea of ​​the village's water situation, so she decided to go up the hill for a walk. Just now, while looking around, she saw a faint patch of green on the west hill. She wanted to see if there were any areas there that hadn't dried up.

"Sister, why don't we go find uncle and the others?" Li Run said to Li Lan.

"Let's not go over there for now. Uncle and the others are busy. If we go over there, they will have to worry about us. Let's go to the West Mountain now to see if we can dig some wild vegetables." Li Lan replied.

"Ah, sister, don't go to that mountain. Sister, you forgot, it was you who went into that mountain and then accidentally fell down the slope." Li Run said anxiously.

"Sister, let's not go there. Only a few hunters like Li the Hunter dare to go there. No one else dares to go." Li He also said weakly.

"Well, I know. I also think what you said is right. Let's just take a look at the outskirts of the mountain. There won't be any danger as long as we don't go deep into it. Don't be afraid, let's go and take a look together. In case we can find some wild vegetables or encounter a wild rabbit, we can have a delicious meal at night." Li Lan tempted.

"Well, let's go and take a look. Sister, can we just take a look outside the mountain without going in?" Li Run sucked his saliva and said.

When he heard the word rabbit, even the shy Li He grinned, as if he could really eat rabbit tonight.

Li Lan looked at them like this, was silent for a while, and said, "Okay, let's listen to Xiaorun." After that, he took their hands and walked towards the top of the mountain.

Arriving at the outskirts of West Mountain, Li Lan looked around and saw that all the wild vegetables had been plucked out, not even a blade of grass left. Just as the two children pouted in frustration and Li Lan was considering whether to walk further in, they saw a gray rabbit about 50 meters away, its butt sticking out, scratching at something. In perfect unison, the two children quickly covered their mouths with their hands.

Li Lan held his breath, raised his hands in claw shape, and walked slowly on tiptoe towards the rabbit.

"Rabbit, rabbit, my little baby, come into my claws. 30 meters, 20 meters, 10 meters, 5 meters, 2 meters..." Li Lan murmured, and a wretched expression soon appeared on his face.

"Never mind, fly, hero." Li Lan said excitedly.

With a determined heart, she pounced towards the rabbit two meters away. She heard a muffled groan, followed by a thud, and saw a human-shaped frog lying motionless on the ground. Not far from her, a gray rabbit also lay motionless.

"Sister, sister, what's wrong? Are you okay?" Li Run said as he ran towards Li Lan.

"Big sister, big sister," Li He also ran over while shouting.

Li Lan's body trembled twice, he raised his head, shook his head, and then slowly sat up with his hands supporting his body.

"It's okay, ha ha, it's okay. I'm very good." As she said this, she lifted the hair in front of her forehead and posed at the same time.

"Sister, sister, my nose is bleeding." Li Run shouted.

"Blood, blood, sister blood." Li He shouted

After hearing what they said, Li Lan wiped his nose with his hand and swayed. He felt dizzy, but he didn't dare. He could only close his eyes. Inside, a thousand horses were galloping. He thought to himself, "Oh my god, for this stuttering, how easy is it for me?"

Just as she was about to open her eyes and tell the two boys that everything was fine, there was a sudden "ding" sound in her head, followed by a coquettish mechanical voice: "Host, hello, your little treasure is here."

Li Lan shuddered with fear, thinking inwardly, "What the hell is this? Could it be that he's been possessed by a rabbit spirit?"

"Host, I am an excellent infrastructure system and have won numerous honors. I am not the rabbit spirit you mentioned. Besides, how can a rabbit spirit be as cute as my Xiaobao?" A proud mechanical voice sounded in his mind.

"System, golden finger. Xiaobao, Xiaobao, you are really my Xiaobao. Hahahahahaha, God, I thank you, from now on you are my heaven." Li Lan shouted excitedly in his heart.

Li Run looked at Li Lan, who was sitting on the ground with his eyes closed, sometimes terrified and sometimes grinning foolishly. He shuddered and shouted loudly, "Who are you, you evil monster? Get off my sister!"
