Chapter 735: Wilderness Survival (Part 2)

~14 min read 2,706 words

"Let's stop here for today." Miss Luo Quan climbed out of the half-meter-deep pit, her face covered in dust.

After the bamboo for building the house was cut, the foundation had to be laid.

Before laying the foundation, you have to dig a hole, put the "foundation stone" in, and then bury it.

There were no foundation stones in the wilderness, so Miss Luo Quan could only settle for the next best thing: bury bamboo piles in bundles of five to serve as load-bearing columns for the bamboo house.

However, this couldn't be done in one day. After working all afternoon, Miss Luo Quan had only dug holes for five load-bearing columns.

According to the plan, she still had to dig fifteen more.

It was getting late, and Miss Luo Quan, who had worked all day, was a bit tired. She climbed out of the pit, holding a basin in one hand and her phone in the other, and walked towards the east.

"There was originally a well here, but it was filled in. However, there is a water pool a bit further away. It's groundwater gushing out from a spring on the mountain, gathering here along the stream. It's purely natural."

While speaking, the camera had already followed Miss Luo Quan to the side of a clear water pool.

This pool was half a meter deep and covered an area of over forty square meters. It was crystal clear, but she didn't see any fish.

Interestingly, even though it was summer, she didn't see any mosquitoes. I don't know whether to say it was clean or not.

However, even if this water was really clean, she didn't dare to drink it directly. This time, she just came to wash her hands and face.

"Aren't you taking a bath?"

"Yeah, these clothes are so dirty."

"And after working all day, it's uncomfortable to sweat so much."

"Yeah, yeah, hurry up and wash. We won't peek. Whoever peeks is a puppy."

"Woof woof woof!"

………………

Miss Luo Quan glanced at the barrage and was immediately amused: "Are you trying to get my live stream banned?"

This was just a joke; no one would take it seriously.

As for the most important resource for wilderness survival, water quality, Miss Luo Quan naturally attached great importance to it.

In the future, many places in the videos would need to be used. Although the mountain spring water gushing from the ground was theoretically relatively clean, and there were no factories nearby, there shouldn't be any big problems.

However, being careful wouldn't hurt. So she exchanged a water quality detector from the system and inserted it into the water pool to test it.

The conclusion was that there were more bacteria, but there was no pollution like heavy metals. After boiling at high temperature, there would be no problems.

Actually, her grandparents had been drinking the water here for decades, and their bodies were still healthy, and she hadn't seen any problems. So she could continue to use it when she came over.

As long as it was boiled, there wouldn't be any big problems.

Where the spring water flowed into the distance, Miss Luo Quan reached in and scrubbed, then took a basin and sat on the ground to wash her feet.

As for the clothes, the ones she specifically bought this time were all the cheapest street stall goods. A set of T-shirt and pants cost less than twenty yuan. If they got dirty, let them be dirty. Anyway, they could continue to be worn after being washed clean.

Unlike those big-brand clothes that were so expensive, if she tossed them like this today, they would probably be ruined directly.

After washing her feet, she went back and poured mineral water into another blue basin, finally cleaning her face.

As for the sweat all over her body, because the conditions didn't allow it, she could only leave it like this for now. Let it be sticky.

"Family members, the kitchen hasn't been built yet, so I won't light a fire in the open, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." Miss Luo Quan said, taking out a box of self-heating rice. While soaking it, she set up the camping tent.

"It will probably be like this for the next few days, but it will be much better after the bamboo house is built."

Miss Luo Quan sat cross-legged in the tent barefoot, talking to the fans on her phone.

After working all day, although Miss Luo Quan had changed into new clothes, her hair was still slightly messy, but there was no trace of fatigue in her eyes, looking forward to the arrival of tomorrow.

"Your spirit is truly good. If it were me, I would be so tired after a day that I probably wouldn't even be able to eat."

"Really too versatile. I only knew you were proficient in all kinds of musical instruments and had superb cooking skills. I didn't expect that even such rough work was not a problem. Reasonably speaking, even young strong men might not be able to finish your workload today."

"Not 'might not be able to,' but 'definitely can't!' Miss Luo Quan is truly worthy of being a monster-strength girl. Such big and long bamboo, I find it hard to lift even one, but she can carry several by herself!"

"Why work so hard? Isn't it good to blow cold air in an air-conditioned room in midsummer?"

………………

Miss Luo Quan had complained before that the fans didn't feel sorry for her, but when they started to feel sorry for her, Miss Luo Quan felt a bit uncomfortable instead.

Seeing the fans' questions, Miss Luo Quan showed a bright smile: "As a content creator, if you want to create excellent works, you certainly need to suffer.

Just like I want to film the pastoral scenery of Huaxia, you wouldn't think that just organizing some farmhouse fun and filming some country roads with chickens and dogs is pastoral, right?

Rough work like farming, carrying water, and chopping wood is pastoral. Without these, you can't survive.

Actually, everyone in the live stream can completely treat my situation as a safe version of wilderness survival. You don't need to fight with wild animals, but you have to use the gifts of nature to build a warm home of your own.

This is actually the core of farming."

"Very reasonable. Next time, find Bear Grylls to link with you."

"Haha, it would be huge fun if these two were together."

"Speaking of which, does Miss Luo Quan dare to eat insects raw? High protein and nutritious."

………………

"Don't even think about it!" Miss Luo Quan replied immediately and decisively, "Even if I starve to death, I won't eat this."

"True fragrance warning."

"If a person is hungry to the extreme, let alone insects, they can eat anything."

"It seems she hasn't been hungry yet."

"Give me some cumin and chili powder, and I can eat leather shoes with relish."

"That taste is still a bit heavy, not to that extent."

………………

Miss Luo Quan interacted with the barrage, chatting with fans while eating dinner.

Half an hour later, Weibo and Zhihu finally had hot searches related to Miss Luo Quan.

"How to evaluate Miss Luo Quan doing heavy work in the mountains?"

There were quite a few people participating in the answer this time, and the highlighted answer was like this:

"Actually, if you put aside Miss Luo Quan's previous repeated face-slapping, I don't believe she can endure this suffering and has the ability to manage the one-third of an acre of land in the countryside by herself.

However, a goddess is a goddess. She once again interpreted for us with her actions what it means to be able to enter the hall, enter the kitchen, do farm work, and build a bamboo house.

Things that take several people to work together in the countryside, she wrapped up by herself, and until now, she hasn't complained about being tired even once. Listening to her tone, she seems to quite enjoy the process of labor.

I can only say that Miss Luo Quan is indeed not an ordinary person. Her versatility is truly breathtaking."

The second highlighted answer extended from Miss Luo Quan outwards:

"I think Miss Luo Quan can achieve today's huge success. Today's live stream has shown the mystery clearly.

First of all, everyone must be clear: why does she want to enter the mountains in midsummer, suffer such hardship, and shed so much sweat?

Because she said before that she wanted to film the pastoral life of Huaxia and promote Huaxia culture abroad like 'A Bite of Huaxia' before.

In order to strive for authenticity, she started from scratch and did everything herself, just to produce the most authentic pastoral videos.

Is it bitter? It's definitely bitter.

But as a heavy physical worker, farmers are indeed bitter. Even if there are various high-tech products to assist now and semi-automated planting has been realized, it is still very bitter.

Not to mention this pure manual labor without any high-tech product assistance, that is simply bitter to the sky.

However, this also makes the video's viewing experience incomparably authentic.

And this kind of excellence-seeking authenticity is also the reason why Miss Luo Quan can achieve huge success.

Everyone says Miss Luo Quan is gifted and God is chasing her to feed her.

But if you are too lazy to open your mouth, even if God is willing to help you, you still can't get up.

So many people on the Internet say Miss Luo Quan is lazy, like a salted fish. I think it's very unfair. In places we can't see, the effort and sweat she puts in will definitely not be less than her talent.

If these stars in the entertainment industry had one percent of her effort, they wouldn't be rated so low by actors."

………………

Incomparably sycophantic pursuit and praise, and by the way, cueing the little fresh meats in the entertainment industry at the end.

When Miss Luo Quan secretly saw this comment, her heart was as beautiful as it could be.

As the saying goes, flattery never fails. No one doesn't like to hear good words and hear others praise them.

Especially this kind of high-quality rainbow farts, it's simply endless to listen to.

As for the content of her live stream today, there is nothing worth praising. After all, it has just begun.

After the bamboo house is built, the good show will officially begin.

"Okay, good night everyone, I should go to sleep." Miss Luo Quan stretched, and her bones made a crackling sound.

If there are no accidents, her muscles will probably be abnormally sore when she wakes up tomorrow.

After all, she hasn't tossed like this for a long time.

"Good night, Luo Bao."

"Sweet dreams."

"Allow you to sleep in tomorrow, rest a bit more, don't be too tired."

………………

After reading the fans' good night barrage, Miss Luo Quan turned off her phone.

Just five minutes after closing her eyes, she fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, although the fans allowed her to sleep in, her biological clock still woke her up at eight o'clock sharp.

When she first opened her eyes, she only felt that her body didn't seem to be her own, a feeling of floating in the clouds.

A few seconds later, clear soreness came from all over her limbs and bones.

"Oh, this damn sourness." Miss Luo Quan frowned and sat up from the sleeping bag with difficulty.

Fortunately, her constitution is indeed far beyond ordinary people. After experiencing the initial soreness, it soon eased.

Facing the morning sun, Miss Luo Quan took off her coat and wiped herself carefully with a towel.

Saying she wouldn't take a bath, but sweating so much in such hot weather, if she really didn't take a bath for two or three days, I don't know how thick a layer of dirt would accumulate.

So Miss Luo Quan took advantage of not starting the live stream yet and wiped it simply first.

Although it still couldn't be compared with taking a bath directly, it was better than doing nothing.

After wiping her whole body with cold water, the remaining sleepiness was completely driven away.

After rinsing her mouth, Miss Luo Quan opened the live stream and sat in front of the camera drinking milk:

"Good morning everyone. A new day has arrived. Let's continue the work left over from last night. Strive to lay the foundation today, and then pave the floor of the house."

Miss Luo Quan moved the camera towards her half-finished project, proving that no one was secretly working overtime at night.

After breakfast, construction continued.

For the next three days, Miss Luo Quan had been burying her head in hard work.

Shovels, rulers, and saws were all used, and she built a three-room bamboo house on a flat ground.

The bamboo house was divided into three parts: bedroom, kitchen, and utility room.

The stove in the kitchen was built by Miss Luo Quan with hay and mud. The raw materials were incomparably simple, but the shape was also decent under Miss Luo Quan's skillful hands.

When the fire was lit in the stove and the cooking smoke drifted out from the chimney of the bamboo house, the fans in the live stream directly brushed "teary eyes" on the public screen.

It took a total of four days, and Miss Luo Quan finally built such a bamboo house. Although it was not big, it had all the internal organs.

And because the bottom was supported by bamboo piles, it was a section higher than the ground, so there was no need to worry about the floor being flooded after rain.

As for the roof, it was also built completely according to the tile-roofed houses of the Huaxia folk. As long as it wasn't a heavy storm, there was no need to worry about water entering the house.

Perhaps God also wanted to test the quality of Miss Luo Quan's bamboo house. Less than two hours after completion, the sky was already covered with dark clouds.

Seeing this, Miss Luo Quan quickly moved all the tools into the utility room, then took her phone and sat on the bamboo floor of the bedroom, waiting for the rain to fall.

"Sitting on this in summer feels like a cool mat." Miss Luo Quan touched the bamboo floor beneath her. She was quite satisfied with her craftsmanship in her heart.

The bamboo as thick as a bowl was split into thin and narrow bamboo strips by her. This would create a considerable workload when paving the floor.

But the benefits were also obvious, that is, it was flat. Whether standing or lying on it, it didn't feel hard at all.

Of course, this also had to do with her superb technology. Anyone with clumsy hands would have a floor that was warped on one side and concave on the other.

Don't even talk about lying on it; you would fall if you weren't careful while walking.

It wasn't like the one in front of her, which was as flat as a cement floor.

"If someone marries you, they don't even need to prepare a wedding room. Wonderful."

"With such a beautiful wife, who would be willing to let her build a wedding room? Even if you smash the pot and sell the iron, you have to buy one."

"Only one? Are you guys so stingy? You have to have three!"

"Five are enough, right?"

"I'll go directly for a building!"

………………

While chatting, the barrage started to roll, arguing fiercely about the amount of bride price that should be paid to marry Miss Luo Quan.

At the same time, a pattering sound came from overhead.

"The rain is starting." Miss Luo Quan was also slightly nervous in her heart.

Next was the time to verify the quality of the bamboo house. If water flowed down from the house, then her craftsmanship still had flaws, and this bamboo house was not a success.

Fortunately, her works had never overturned. ===== CHAPTER 736 =====
