Chapter 206 Cutting down trees
It’s just that this matter is too shocking, and I was afraid that it would scare you. Of course, I was also afraid that you would have some opinions about me, so I didn’t tell you.
Since you already know it, I will just tell you straight away, look here." After saying this, Xu Han put the cup in his hand into the space, and then took it out again.
Grandpa Zhao widened his eyes when he saw this and said, “It’s just as I thought.
Okay, stop saying anything extra. I understand. I don’t want to know anything else. I just know that you are good to me and I can’t let you down. I will just do what I should do from now on!
Of course I don't mean to blame you. I can understand you and know your concerns. When the Taoist priest wanted to bring me here to live, when I saw you for the first time, I guessed that there must be a reason for living here.
Since you are willing to let me stay here, you must trust me. After all, we live together every day, and flaws will definitely be revealed over time.
Okay, let’s not talk about the past, and I won’t ask you in the future. Just live the same way you lived before.”
When Xu Han and Lu Chuan heard this, they subconsciously wanted to explain something, but they didn't know how to start.
Finally, the Taoist priest said, "Okay, that's it! Just like what your Grandpa Zhao said, we can change it later. We will bring the bricks and tiles back tomorrow.
It’s getting late, let’s go to bed early!”
After hearing this, the two of them didn't say anything else and went straight to the bathroom to wash up and prepare for bed.
In the evening, after Grandpa Zhao returned to the room, he chatted with the Taoist priest for a while.
"It's not easy for these two children to live in the mountains. Look at how rough Xiaohan's hands are. It's obvious that they suffered a lot in the past.
Xiaohan is different from other people. Fortunately, they are smart. They know that the future will be difficult, so they work hard to plan for their future life. If they use this special feature to do things in a big way, and fall into the hands of those people who eat people without leaving any bones, how can they have a good life? "Grandpa Zhao said naggingly.
"Yes! Those people are far more cruel than we thought! They will do anything for money and power. Fortunately, Xiaohan and Xiaochuan are both honest people.
Otherwise, they would have been discovered by those people long ago. That’s why I brought you here. I have done a lot of work to prevent them from being discovered by people with ulterior motives.” The Taoist priest also said.
"I was wondering why you were so busy after you came back to the capital last time. It was hard to even see you. It turns out you were dealing with these things!"
"Yes! Otherwise we wouldn't be able to live the peaceful life we have now. But we can't be careless now! The days to come will become more and more chaotic, so we still have to pay attention at all times." said the Taoist priest.
"Then we should pay more attention to the movements outside in the future, so that we can respond in time if there are any special situations."
"Do you need to tell me that? Otherwise, why did they send Yunhua out? Isn't it to keep an eye on the situation outside? You don't really think you're just sending them out to help the poor and save people, do you? Hahahaha."
The Taoist priest laughed after he said this. Grandpa Zhao ignored him, turned over and went to sleep.
The next morning, Xu Han and Lu Chuan got up early. Grandpa Zhao and the Taoist priest stayed at home to make breakfast, while Xu Han and Lu Chuan went to the brick and tile store to bring the bricks and tiles back and put them at the door so that they could be easily taken when needed.
Because it was not far away, Xu Han did not take out all the things in the space, but chose to make two more trips. Otherwise, the space that had been tidied up with great difficulty would be messed up again.
It just so happened that Lu Chuan and Xu Han had finished transporting the last batch of bricks and tiles, and breakfast was ready. After breakfast, everyone went into the mountains to cut trees together.
I have to say that trees can be cut down faster when there are more people. This speed is much faster than the speed Lu Chuan and Xu Han cut down trees before.
Since everyone already knew that Xu Han had a space, Xu Han simply stopped pretending and took out the prepared food directly from the space during lunch.
Chicken soup, stir-fried beef, steamed locust flowers, garlic lettuce, stir-fried bean sprouts, and the staple food is rice.
"Hahaha, today's meal is so rich! If I had known this the day before yesterday, I would not have had to eat dry food yesterday!" Grandpa Zhao said as he ate meat in big mouthfuls.
When everyone heard what Grandpa Zhao said, they all laughed out loud.
In one day, four people cut down seven trees and dealt with them all, which was a relatively fast process.
Before leaving, Xu Han put the chopped branches into the space and took them away. She placed them outside the yard to dry and use them as firewood.
After returning home, Xu Han planned to make spicy crayfish, a dish she hadn't eaten for a long time, and add some noodles to the soup and mix it, so that she would have a staple food.
Because there were many people today, Xu Han made two flavors, one spicy and one garlic, both of which were delicious.
"You know what, this is my first time eating this big insect. Although it doesn't look good, I didn't expect it to be so fragrant. The meat is also very firm. It's delicious!" said the Taoist priest.
"I think the noodles here are more fragrant. The taste is very unique." Grandpa Zhao also said.
"If it tastes good, eat more. There's more in the space! Lu Chuan and I caught it many times in the summer, and there's enough to eat several times!" Xu Han said.
"By the way, there's also this. Have you ever eaten it?" Xu Han asked as he took out a plate of spicy snails from the space.
"Isn't this for feeding chickens? Can this be eaten? I remember it had a fishy smell!" asked Grandpa Zhao.
"Try it." Xu Han took a bamboo skewer and demonstrated how to eat snails.
After the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao tasted one, they immediately started to eat it.
"This one is also delicious. It doesn't have any muddy smell at all. I never thought that the snail could be cooked so deliciously." The Taoist priest said while eating snails frantically.
"It's delicious, right? I like this the most. I eat a few when I have nothing to do and I can't stop." Xu Han said while eating snails.
No one spoke for a while, and the four of them quickly finished eating the snails.
Then Grandpa Zhao made some chrysanthemum tea for everyone. After eating so many peppers today, you will definitely feel uncomfortable in your stomach when you go to bed at night. Drink some chrysanthemum tea to reduce internal heat.
In this way, the four people spent a total of ten days chopping trees and finally cut down all the trees they needed. There were not only trees for building beams, but also wood needed for making doors, windows and furniture later.
This time we cut them all down at once and put them deep in the mountains to dry out the moisture in the trees. When they are needed, we can take them back and use them directly.
