"Wake up, brother" He heard someone "Five more minutes" He replied and turned to another side. "No, you have to get up. It's morning already and we have work to do" He slowly sat up, looked at her, and said "Morning, little Lihua. Did you sleep well?" She hugged him and answered "Mhm, I did sleep well. You are so comfortable." He just smiled and stayed like this for a few seconds "Good for you. Okay, that's enough. Let's get going" They quickly changed to normal clothes and went to the living room.
"Good morning, mum." They said after walking to the living room. "Good morning, Xing'er, Lihu'er" She answered from the kitchen. "Breakfast is ready, eat something before going out." They went to the dining table and started eating, but they quickly added "Thanks, mom."
Five minutes later they were done. Both of them brought everything from the table to the kitchen, said goodbye, and walked out of the house.
Their destination was outside the Kang village, so they headed towards the southern gate. Needless to say, Lihua was leading the way. There were many people on the streets, as most villagers were farmers. So they all went to their respective lands.
"So, how was it?" I looked at Lihua "Hmm, what do you mean?" So she added "Your yesterday's trip." "Oh, it was quite funny" He replied and smiled remembering that girl "Why so?" "I've met an interesting person." Her eyes widened a little bit after hearing that. "Is that so? Who was it?" She asked "Her name was Yi Xifeng if I remember correctly. I asked her about myself because she looked around my age. But she was simply the best. Yi Xifeng said that she is my master. I almost burst out laughing, so I decided to play along." "Oh? Tell me more."
That's how interrogation has begun. She asked him about every little detail. How did they exactly meet? What were they talking about? Where did he go with her? And so on. He answered everything truthfully. Well, there was nothing to hide, to begin with. When Xing was done Lihua told him "I understand. But be wary of her, brother" He nodded "I will, thanks Lihua." and smiled at her.
They continued the rest of the way in silence. Well, maybe sometimes they exchanged a word or two. On the way, they passed the gate with two bored-looking guards. From this point it took them four minutes, to arrive.
The field wasn't big or small. It took approximately eight hundred square meters (8610 sq. ft)of land. It could be said that it was just right because one person was responsible for a hundred square meters (1076 sq. ft).
Almost everyone was there, only mother was still in the house. They were all working diligently. But he ignored them. Xing quickly scanned the area looking for something. A few seconds later he found it. He quickly went to that part of the field and became dissatisfied. Dew grass was in a terrible state. Earth was so dry that it started cracking, it wasn't even plowed.
Actually, it was already a miracle that Dew grass was able to grow. He quickly turned to his sister which came with him and asked "Is there a well or something?" "Yes, there is." Lifen replied. He quickly went to the shed and took two buckets. Yes, they had a small shed to store all those tools. He came back to her and said "Lead the way."
It took them forty-five seconds to reach the nearest well. Xing attached bucket, and then let it fall. A few seconds later he pulled it up. Then did the same with another one. After that, they came back. The whole process took two and a half minutes or so.
He water it, but there were two major problems, so he decided that he will build his construction today. Firstly water was escaping, out of the lack of isolation. Then he had to spread it out, for it to spread faster. This could triple or even quadruple the speed of the whole process. He had to have it done as soon as possible.
"Dad!" He yelled "Do we have a cart or something like this" He looked at him weirdly, but then let it go "Check behind the shed" Ren Chang replied. Xing went behind the shed, took the cart, and rushed home.
After arriving he stomped into a house. "Mom! I need money!" She luckily caught her, as she was preparing to leave. "Why do you need that money? You already spent a sliver coin yesterday." He then quickly explained his plan to her. She sighed but gave him money anyway. "By the way, where can I find a log mill or something like that?" She then told him where to go. "Thanks for everything, mom." And dashed out of the house.
Shortly after Xing arrived at his destination. He walked in and asked "Good morning. I would like to buy something. Is that possible?" The man behind the counter replied jokingly "No you can only look at it."
He wasn't dumb, so he asked "I'll need some planks, resin, and nails." The shopkeeper nodded and brought him to the planks section.
The cheapest plank was for 5 bronze coins and was 2 meters long and 7 centimeters wide. He quickly planned everything in his head. Xing decided to go with a container that was two meters long, one meter wide, and 14 centimeters deep (6.5 ft × 3.3 ft × 5.5"). He calculated that he will need 19 planks, so he took 20. Then he took 2 resin buckets and 50 nails.
In total Xing spent 2 silver coins. Slightly sad he parted with them. "Thanks for your patronage." The shopkeeper said "Thank you for the materials, Have a nice day." And walked out of the store.
Halfway to the field, he became tired but decided to go on. He arrived twelve minutes later.
He sat in the shadow of the shed and decided to rest for a bit. Not even three minutes later he walked into the shed and took the saw and the hammer. Lucky for him, he only had to cut two planks in a half. Then he began hammering them together. Twenty minutes later construction was done. ait wasn't stable at all. But it would go inside the ground and more than two-thirds of the inside will be covered with soli.
Now was the time for the hardest part, he had to dig a hole. After resting, this time for a little bit longer. He took a shovel and began digging. He decided that the edges will be four centimeters above the ground, so he had to dig ten centimeters deep.
After fifteen minutes he was exhausted. The worst part was that he had dug only one-tenth of the entire thing. He needed help, and help came. With help of almost the entire family, they were done in slightly more than two hours.
"Thank you" Xing was really glad "No problem if what you said it's true, the whole family will benefit greatly." While they were working, he told them about his plan and its benefits. They placed the container inside the hole. Then Xing with the help of his sisters began to cover the whole thing with resin, while the rest began to cover empty spots around the construction.
When they were done it was almost noon. It was scorching so they came back home, resin had to cure anyway.
