Lijiang Guard City, Yongtong District east of the city.
In a small courtyard with a single entrance, Chen Mu grabbed a wooden stake about four to five meters long and as thick as a bowl with one hand.
He gently thrust the sharpened end into the ground, and the stake sank more than a meter into the earth as easily as a plastic fork piercing a cake.
Following the same method, he buried four posts. Then he constructed a supporting crossbar on top, laid out straw mats, and securely tied them. A simple wooden and straw cool pavilion was completed.
Chen Mu moved the rocking chair and low table he had just bought into the pavilion, comfortably lying on it.
"Comfortable."
This was after he had been in Lijiang Guard City for half a month.
Renting a house, buying furniture, digging an underground chamber, stockpiling supplies—after a series of busy tasks, today was the first day he had some leisure time.
"Good thing I left early."
