Chapter 734: Wilderness Survival?

~14 min read 2,616 words

"Here we are, the pastoral life everyone has been looking forward to." Miss Luo Quan stood at the intersection of the flat road and the muddy mountain path, holding the camera aimed at the rolling green mountains in the distance.

"She really entered the mountains."

"The environment looks so good, I feel like my mood has relaxed."

"Which mountain in Yuzhou is Luo Bao in? Are there many people?"

"Looking at the tire tracks on this muddy road, it shows that the mountains shouldn't be too desolate."

"Does this mean farming starts today?"

"Suggest preparing several camera angles to appreciate it from various angles."

"Awesome, brother."

……………………

The barrage was joking, while Miss Luo Quan was pedaling the tricycle hard.

The cargo workers only sent her here, saying the road further inside was too bad and motor vehicles were really not easy to drive, so they wouldn't enter even if paid more.

Although this was clearly asking Miss Luo Quan to pay more, she didn't buy it.

The old house wasn't far from the highway, just a few hundred meters, and it was at the foot of the mountain. It wouldn't cost much to ride in herself.

So Miss Luo Quan settled the bill directly, moved all the tools to the tricycle, and stepped on the pedals to enter.

The goods were many and the muddy road was indeed not easy to drive. Miss Luo Quan pedaled the tricycle quite hard all the way.

"I... now... finally know... why they say if you want to be rich... you must first build roads."

Miss Luo Quan stood up, her body rising and falling from left to right: "This road is rotten... to this extent, cars can't get in, agricultural products can't get out, it's indeed not easy to develop the economy."

"No way, feeling like crying so soon? (Funny)"

"While you haven't entered the mountains yet, hurry back. In this summer, even the mosquitoes will bite you to death."

"Promoting Huaxia pastoral culture doesn't necessarily mean doing it yourself. Just doing it a little is fine."

"That's right, there's no need to suffer for the sake of suffering."

………………

Miss Luo Quan had said before that the fans didn't feel sorry for her at all. Look, the barrage of feeling sorry for her came one after another, all telling her to hurry back to the city.

"Which ear of yours heard me complaining?" Miss Luo Quan was between laughter and tears, "I'm just sighing at the hindrance of the rotten road to the rural economy. This amount of exercise isn't even one-tenth of my usual training. I'm not that delicate."

While chatting, Miss Luo Quan arrived at her old house.

It was on the side of the muddy road, at the end of a path covered by bamboo forests and full of green grass.

Miss Luo Quan turned the tricycle and drove directly in. After passing through the long and narrow forest path, everything in front of her suddenly opened up.

The old house was located in the embrace of a bamboo forest. The earthen house, more than three meters high, had completely collapsed, and even a quarter of it had turned into dust. The remaining standing part also looked precarious.

In front and behind the house, there was a large piece of half-human-high wild grass farmland, adding up to at least one mu of land. It was said that these were all Grandpa's land.

If this were in the city, how much would it sell for?

However, in the desolate mountains where development couldn't reach, such a large piece of land was almost worthless.

"Everyone, take a look. This is the place where my grandparents and their parents lived for decades." Miss Luo Quan raised her phone and slowly showed the fans the situation around.

"Wow, it's so desolate. Won't there be wolves?"

"Compared to wolves, I'm more afraid of ghosts."

"What era is it, still afraid of this? If you really meet one, it's not certain who is afraid of whom."

"Indeed, Miss Luo Quan's combat power, if placed in ancient times, would be a door god at the very least."

"Are you trying to laugh me to death?"

"Don't laugh, Miss Luo Quan seems to really intend to farm here."

………………

Miss Luo Quan started unloading the high-piled luggage from the tricycle to the ground.

She bought a lot of tools this time, including those for live streaming, farming, and building houses. She had thought of basically everything she could use.

"Family members, the conditions are worse than I imagined and need to be repaired for a while. I think it will take about five days to make this place look brand new. What do you think?"

Miss Luo Quan took out a one-meter-long sledgehammer from the tool bag, leaned on it, and smiled: "The first thing is to tear down this earthen house that can no longer be lived in, and then use the bamboo here to build a bamboo house."

Saying that, Miss Luo Quan fixed the phone with a stand and then carried the sledgehammer towards the earthen house.

"Earthen house: Don't come over!"

"I've been shielding your ancestors from wind and rain for decades, and now you're going to commit such a poisonous act."

"Is there no need for rescue? I haven't collapsed completely yet."

"Destroy it, hurry up."

………………

Miss Luo Quan couldn't see the barrage of jokes. She put on gloves, moved her small waist, and swung the sledgehammer at the earthen house.

With a "bang," the sledgehammer went straight through the wall and brought down a large piece of the wall directly.

She really didn't use much force for this. It was just that this earthen house had been exposed to the sun and rain for so many years and had long been decayed. This kind of rural earthen house could never be compared with modern steel-concrete housing.

Using only 30% of her strength, she directly smashed a wall.

Finding it so easy, Miss Luo Quan didn't stop and kept knocking with the sledgehammer, one hammer after another.

"Eighty... eighty... eighty..."

"As expected of a monster-strength girl, she smashed a wall with one hammer."

"I think I can do it too. This earthen house has been here for decades, I feel like I can push it down directly."

"Indeed, I feel like it can be completely done in less than an hour."

"Hehe, Miss Luo Quan in a T-shirt, shorts, and flip-flops, sweat soaked her, her figure is so good. (Drooling)"

"Against the sky!"

"Pull back the taste, everyone is paying attention to Miss Luo Quan working. If you really want to see, go watch the new swimsuit photo album."

……………………

After working for more than ten minutes, under Miss Luo Quan's "chaotic wind hammer method," the earthen house had been smashed into evenly sized fragments, each of which could be held by a middle school student.

After smashing, Miss Luo Quan wiped the crystal clear sweat from her face, took out a stainless steel folding wheelbarrow from her luggage bag, pulled it open and installed it according to the instructions, and then started transporting the soil blocks.

A total of over a hundred blocks, Miss Luo Quan could transport two or three blocks each time to the bamboo forest tens of meters away.

Going back and forth dozens of times, it was finally all done.

It was much faster than the time predicted by the barrage. In about forty minutes, the collapsed earthen house was completely moved away.

Now, only the abandoned farmland and dense bamboo forest remained in front of her.

Miss Luo Quan pulled over an old newspaper and sat on it. Sweat quickly fell onto the newspaper, leaving black, round watermarks.

Doing physical labor in midsummer is indeed a bit tiring. Fortunately, her body, after being improved by the system, was far beyond ordinary people.

Now she could easily run a marathon, although her speed couldn't be compared with those professional athletes, her endurance was not a problem at all.

This bit of physical labor in front of her wasn't as tiring as imagined, but the weather was too hot. Sweat flowed out uncontrollably with a little exercise, and no air-conditioning constitution worked.

No wonder the workers at the construction site liked to work shirtless so much; it was really impossible to wear clothes.

Unfortunately, no matter how tired she was, a T-shirt and shorts were already the limit.

The only thing she was glad about was that her skin was thick enough.

After more than half an hour of heavy physical labor, her palms were only slightly red, and the blisters and broken skin predicted by the fans didn't appear.

If the skin doesn't get injured or deformed, it's quite difficult to develop calluses.

Once again, she wiped her face randomly with a towel, unscrewed a 2L bottle of Nongfu Spring mineral water, and took a big gulp.

It was said that this mineral water also had quality problems, but they were all refuted, and it hadn't been on the 315 list yet, so it was still trustworthy.

Of course, if it wasn't too troublesome to buy from abroad, she really didn't intend to use domestic ones.

She used to support domestic products quite a bit, feeling that there shouldn't be much difference between domestic and foreign ones.

But ever since the "Old Altar Pickled Cabbage" incident, she was basically desperate.

The quality of foreign food isn't necessarily all good, but they punish heavily. The probability of quality problems is much lower than domestic ones.

It's just that the price is too expensive and hard to buy; otherwise, most people would probably choose foreign products.

Supporting domestic products is one thing, but you can't treat your own people like fools.

Thinking of this, Miss Luo Quan sighed softly.

The barrage thought she was tired and immediately cared:

"What's wrong, Luo Bao, why are you sighing?"

"If you're tired, don't do it. Take a break."

"Moving an earthen house in half an hour is already fierce. You don't intend to build the bamboo house directly today, do you?"

"Don't get a muscle strain."

………………

Seeing the fans misunderstanding, Miss Luo Quan showed a warm smile: "Thank you for your concern, but I'm not sighing because of this. It's another matter. It's nothing big, so don't worry too much about me."

This kind of thing wasn't easy to say in the live stream, as it was easy to cause a big rhythm, so she just found an excuse to brush it off.

After resting for ten minutes, Miss Luo Quan continued to get up, took out a saw, and prepared to saw bamboo.

Actually, using an electric saw would be more convenient, but this was about retro and returning to nature, so the tools Miss Luo Quan used were all of the most common types. She didn't want to reflect modern atmosphere if she didn't have to.

There was no need to talk about protecting or not protecting her own bamboo forest; she had to use it if she needed to.

Miss Luo Quan kicked off her flip-flops, stepped on the bamboo with her bare feet, exposed her firm arms, and cut back and forth on the bamboo.

For bamboo as thick as a bowl, she could cut one in half a minute on average. After a few songs, Miss Luo Quan sawed nearly thirty of them, and she changed three saw blades during the process.

"I would like to call you the 'Ghost Fear' of the forest ranger."

"It's really her own stuff, she doesn't feel bad no matter how she messes with it."

"What good bamboo, how many pandas could it feed."

"Are there pandas in Yuzhou?"

"Doesn't every household in the rural areas of Shuzhou have one?"

"Indeed, that's how it is where we are. Every household raises pandas."

"Curious about what kind of bamboo house Miss Luo Quan is going to build."

………………

After Miss Luo Quan stopped, she looked at the barrage and said with a smile: "This is the content of our first issue of 'Tian Yuan Huaxia', which is the display of the mortise and tenon structure.

As a unique architectural structure of our Huaxia, the mortise and tenon structure is sturdy and durable, and beautiful in appearance. It is the crystallization of the wisdom of ancient construction workers.

The only drawback is that it's slightly troublesome to prepare, not as simple and direct as nails.

But as a feature of Huaxia architecture, it must be displayed to everyone here.

However, before building, we have to go through a process first.

As the saying goes, a tall building rises from the ground. If a house wants to be reliable, it must have a good foundation.

So, our next job is to dig holes and prepare to bury bamboo piles."

Miss Luo Quan stood up with her hands on her hips, looking solemn.

To be honest, this was her first time digging holes. This thing looked simple, but it actually had a lot of technical content. Some people couldn't dig very deep even after half a day of effort.

She hadn't learned relevant technology before. This thing probably wouldn't be taught in agricultural universities, and she didn't know if the system mall had relevant knowledge.

Fortunately, the system mall was indeed all-encompassing. Although it couldn't let her cultivate and ascend to heaven, life skills were all available.

This included digging soil and farming, and the heat value required was also very cheap.

Speaking of which, if it was just to demonstrate the process of building a bamboo house to the fans, it was completely unnecessary to lay a foundation.

Just put the bamboo together and fix it with a rope.

But this time she intended to live in the mountains for a while, and she had to film videos for foreigners to see, so she must reflect the characteristics of Huaxia and couldn't be perfunctory.

So the bamboo house built this time not only had to be beautiful but also sturdy and reliable.

So the foundation must be laid, and the procedures in all aspects were much more complicated than usual.

Thinking of this, Miss Luo Quan couldn't help but feel a trace of fatigue in her heart.

Doing heavy work by herself was indeed very tiring.

Not only physically but also psychologically.

From video content to filming to editing, she had to do everything herself. The effort required was truly immeasurable.

It's no wonder Wang Xiaojiu was questioned about having a team or posing.

It's really hard to convince the audience that one person can finish these rough jobs.

If it wasn't for live streaming, Miss Luo Quan's fans probably wouldn't have thought she could build a bamboo house by herself.

Although there are many videos on YouTube of people building earthen houses or wooden houses with their bare hands, those are filmed over months. Who knows if they used modern machinery or let construction teams help in the middle.

The final product is indeed amazing, but whether it's true or false is unknown.

However, Miss Luo Quan live-streamed the whole process this time, and fans could see every progress, so there was no such thing as fraud.

As for the trace of fatigue in her heart.

She was like this when filming movies. Whenever the task was heavy, she would have such psychology, but this wouldn't cause any changes to the plan she had already formulated.

The suffering she found herself, she still had to bite the bullet and continue to eat.

She had never been a person who gave up halfway. ===== CHAPTER 735 =====
