Eavesdropping on Fu Bao's inner thoughts, emptying the stored grain and fleeing the famine

As the sun rose in the east, its light dispelled the terror of the deserted village, leaving only a desolate scene.

Early in the morning, Lian Rongrong gathered everyone together.

If they want to settle down here, they need to make this place look presentable first.

There's a large chain home furnishing store in Rongle Supermarket. However, the furniture and home furnishings inside are all too novel for even my family.

After much thought, the only way to find these things was for the Lian family to "discover them themselves."

Last night, even Rongrong was preoccupied with how to rebuild the abandoned village.

Lian Rongrong didn't sleep all night, and even before everyone woke up, she found a larger village house.

They also brought out items such as beds, mattresses, and dining tables from the furniture store.

Lian Rongrong knew that these things would definitely cause a big reaction from everyone, but if they wanted to live in such a dilapidated place, they had to make it more comfortable.

There are home furnishing stores in the supermarket, but no building materials stores, so people still need to find some materials for building houses on their own.

"This village isn't as dilapidated as I imagined."

Standing next to Lian Rongrong, Lin Chuyue looked at the village, which had been terrifying and eerie the night before, with a broad smile and sighed:

"Most of the houses here are still habitable. We can tidy up a bit and settle in here for the time being!"

Lian Rongrong looked around at everyone, then smiled at her sister-in-law and shook her head, saying:

"A simple tidying up won't do; we need to tidy it up properly!"

I took a walk around the area this morning and saw many trees behind the mountain and stones by the river.

These things can all be used by us to reinforce the house.

Also, there's a small path leading from the back of the village to the mountain. Someone needs to go and explore where it leads today.

This village wasn't small to begin with, but we don't really need that much space.

So for those houses that have already collapsed, we just need to move out the usable items.

As soon as Lian Rongrong finished speaking, Wen Hui, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke up:

"Is it really necessary to make this so complicated? We're just staying here temporarily, why are you acting like we're going to settle down here!"

Third sister, we are the Lian family of Shengdu. No matter how well this place is built, we can't stay here.

If that's the case, why go through all this trouble?

Lian Rongrong had long since grown to loathe Wen Hui. She was too lazy to explain her actions to Wen Hui, and simply retorted coldly:

"Second sister-in-law, if I remember correctly, when Father left, he said that he would leave everything to me!"

"My grandmother, mother, and elder brother and sister-in-law haven't said anything yet, so where do you get so many opinions?"

Wen Hui was rebuffed, but she still looked at the good-natured Lin Chuyue with unwavering determination.

But Lin Chuyue looked at Lian Rongrong and said with a smile, "Whatever my little sister says goes!"

The two women, sister-in-law and aunt, smiled at each other. Then, Lian Rongrong assigned tasks to everyone.

Apart from the old lady, Lian's mother, and Lian Xiuyan, everyone else got busy.

Lian Rongrong decided to explore the path leading into the mountains herself, but she knew today was not the right time.

The construction of the abandoned village is related to the safety of everyone going forward, as well as their escape route should an accident occur.

Therefore, she needed to personally oversee many things in the early stages.

Following Lian Rongrong's instructions, the group either went to the back mountain to cut timber, or to the riverbank to find stones, or to gather up the still usable items from the abandoned houses.

Lian Rongrong handed Fu Bao over to her mother and then busied herself with other tasks.

Within a morning, almost all the families of those who had been sent out had returned.

Looking at the towering pile of materials, Lian Rongrong nodded in satisfaction.

"Now that everything is almost ready, let's start repairing the house."

Lian Rongrong knew absolutely nothing about building houses, but several of the Lian family's guards had done such work before.

However, they only know how to work according to blueprints, but they know nothing about how to design houses.

Thus, the task of designing the blueprints fell to the all-powerful Third Miss.

Lian Rongrong looked around at the surroundings and thought about everyone's situation. Suddenly, she felt that the safest place would be a village with a network of tunnels, like those used in underground warfare.

After all, the saying "a cunning rabbit has three burrows" is a wisdom even the ancients acknowledged.

Lian Rongrong took out paper and pen, and with great effort, managed to draw something that she couldn't identify.

"Third Miss, are these blueprints?" Chen Si scratched his head awkwardly; this was the first time he had ever seen blueprints like these.

Apart from a few abstract houses, the rest of the place is full of messy, crisscrossing straight lines.

Lian Rongrong smiled somewhat awkwardly, then pointed to her masterpiece and explained, "It's a bit ugly, but that's the gist of it."

"But Miss, we didn't understand what you meant either!"

Xiao Liu's expression was as interesting as if he had just eaten a bitter melon. Xiao Liu's father was the best carpenter in their hometown, so Xiao Liu had seen many blueprints since he was a child.

But he had never heard of or seen such blueprints before!

"How about I explain it to you?" Lian Rongrong chuckled, placing her right index finger on the house in the upper right corner of the drawing.

"This is the house at the entrance of the village; we need to turn it into a guard post."

Therefore, windows should be provided on all four sides, but the windows should not be too large.

Furthermore, this place needs to be connected to the entire village, so we'll need to dig several tunnels.

Lian Rongrong then pointed to several lines on the diagram and continued:

"These are all secret passages in the village, used to facilitate communication and escape when encountering a strong enemy."

And here…

Lian Rongrong poured out all her thoughts in one breath, leaving everyone completely confused, except for Xiao Liu, whose eyes lit up.

After Lian Rongrong finished explaining all the designs, Xiao Liu excitedly snatched the pen from Lian Rongrong's hand.

All the people saw was Xiao Liu wielding his brush and ink on the paper. In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a complete and clear drawing appeared on the paper.

"Yes, yes, that's exactly what I mean! Xiao Liu, you're amazing!"

Lian Rongrong looked at the drawings Xiao Liu had drawn and shouted excitedly.

Xiao Liu gave an embarrassed, goofy smile, then scratched his head and said to Lian Rongrong:

"Miss's idea is truly novel; this is the first time I've ever heard of such a design."

Everyone gathered around the blueprints, looking left and right, some in surprise, others frowning.

In the end, Chen Si hesitantly raised the question.

"But Miss, with our limited manpower, when will we be able to finish this job?"

As soon as Chen Si finished speaking, everyone looked at each other. They all realized a problem.

That is, although the Third Miss's design is good, they simply cannot realize it given the manpower and tools available at the moment.

At this moment, Lian Rongrong also realized the problem, but compared to others, Lian Rongrong was much more optimistic.

After all, she brought a shopping mall with her. A comprehensive shopping mall is not just about clothing, food, housing, and transportation.

Supermarkets also keep common tools like shovels in stock. It's just that these items are usually displayed in very inconspicuous places.

Lian Rongrong cleared her throat, thinking to herself: It seems it's time to let everyone search for treasure in the deserted village.
