Seeing the woodcutter's figure disappearing from the bottom of the mountain, Fang Chang smiled and did not rush to cut the bamboo.

In the bamboo forest, there is a delicacy called bamboo shoots.

It is the buds of bamboo when it is first long. The bamboo shoots are available all year round. The most delicious is spring and winter. It is not at this time. Even so, it is a delicious and easy to obtain.

Fang Chang had already set his sights on them just now, but because the woodcutter was on the side, he needed to finish cutting bamboo first.

Due to the simple tools, picking is still difficult. Fortunately, at this time, you only need to find the tips of bamboo shoots that have already emerged on the ground. Carefully pick the bamboo shoots without hurting the roots and scales of the bamboo. You can put them in a small basket before stopping.

After going back, it should be good to grill the bamboo shoots with skins in the bonfire and then peel them.

While searching for bamboo shoots everywhere, Fangchang also found some traces, which belonged to another delicacy, a rodent - bamboo rat.

After careful look around, there are some caves under the grass on the sunny hillside where the bamboo forest is located, which is quite in line with the living habits of bamboo rats. This hillside will be a better source of food in the future.

Although bamboo rats are very agile, it is not a problem for Fang Chang. After practicing, his skills are getting better and better, and he no longer needs a trap to hunt. However, considering that he currently has no cooking utensils except for the bonfire, Fang Chang temporarily lets go of these delicious ingredients.

He picked up the stone axe and continued to chop bamboo.

The bamboo spirit in the distance continued to tremble, but he did not dare to move. It knew that it was moving slowly and moved rashly, and might be caught up and chopped.

After all, whether for ordinary people or those who practice in the distance, they are all good materials.

However, Fang Chang still discovered this unique bamboo.

After all, in the straight bamboo forest, a thick bamboo that twists itself into a curved style and keeps shaking is hard to be conspicuous.

He knocked down the last big bamboo and walked over with a stone axe.

The bamboo essence shook even more.

It knew that it had been discovered and was about to encounter a miserable end. The bamboo spirit had already accepted his fate, but was still afraid.

I am so miserable... I have grown silently in this deserted mountain for so many years, and after the enlightenment, I endured endless loneliness and loneliness, and there was no one who could communicate with me...

This short life is about to end... Maybe it will soon turn into various bamboo bowls, bamboo chopsticks, small mats, stools, and flagpoles...

I really envy humans...

The bamboo spirit couldn't help but think of the humans he had seen. As the spirits of heaven and earth, they were born with wisdom, bodies that could move freely, and the number of communicable similarities that they envied.

The most important thing is that they live much safer.

If there is a next life, you must be reincarnated as a human being...

Fang Chang walked to the twisted big bamboo and surrounded it twice, marveling at it. The white-haired monkey also ran over, jumping and spinning on the bamboo poles next to it, turning around.

He gently tapped the big bamboo pole with the handle of the axe, and said to the monkey beside him:

"This is a genital, right?"

The monkey jumped up and down on the bamboo pole next to him, looked around for a few times, squeaking to show his agreement.

The bamboo shakes even more violently.

"Let's go, let's go back to the cliff, the roof has not been built yet." Fang Chang said with a smile to the monkey beside him.

Then, as the bamboo spirit shivered, he gathered forty large bamboos, and did not cut off the branches and leaves. He found twenty rattans to bundle them, put the stone axe back into the basket, and took a deep breath:

"Huh!"

With inhuman strength, Fang Chang put two large bundles of bamboo on his left and right shoulders, greeted the monkey and walked towards his place of residence.

Along the way, I was still walking on flat ground.

When the bamboo essence saw that people and monkeys were walking far away, they dared to stand up.

Who is this? I obviously found myself, but I didn't cut myself like the legendary one? Did I think I was too thin and wanted to fatten up before cutting? Will they come again next, and can I stay here again...

Although born hollow, bamboo essence has violent thinking activities.

The bamboo essence after straightening up is taller than other bamboos in the bamboo forest, like a mast in the sea.

…………

...

Fang Chang carried two large bundles of bamboo and returned to his shack, the sun was already passing through the middle.

He tied the picked bamboo in the open space and put it in the open space. He walked to the stream, washed the bamboo shoots one by one with the clear stream water, and put them back into the basket.

The bonfire was extinguished. Fang Chang took out the hay and fire tools from under the bed, pulled the fire bow, ignited the fire again, and then put the washed bamboo shoots in and baked without peeling them.

After thinking about it, he roasted the fruits together.

I ate cooked food for lunch today.

Sitting on the stone stool beside the big stone table, waiting for the heat to come, take out the whole roasted bamboo shoots and peel them, rub them with a little bit of coarse salt, and take a bite.

After roasting, the bamboo shoots become very sweet and tastes very delicious with a little salt.

After grilling, the fruits are sweeter and have a unique flavor. They even become soft and glutinous, just like roasted sweet potatoes.

Fang Chang gently threw a roasted bamboo shoot and gave the monkey who was protruding his head from the tree in the distance:

"Brother Monkey, please eat roasted bamboo shoots and be careful of burning them."

After taking it in the air, the monkey grinned and poured the roasted bamboo shoots back and forth several times before she could peel off the appearance of the short-lived appearance, and the food was sweet and fast.

Seeing that the monkey had finished eating, his eyes dripped in the food on his table, Fang Chang smiled and threw a roasted fruit over. The monkey continued to take it, bowed to Fang Chang, and then changed to a taller tree branch to enjoy it.

Taking advantage of the sunshine, Fang Chang took out the "The Path of Practice" from the shack and read a few more chapters.

The path of practice is like a drop of water and stone, which is a process of accumulated years. According to the book that guides the way you practice, you must follow the principles of nature, polish the body and mind, so that the spirit and body are in harmony, and the body and heaven and earth are in harmony, so that the great way is hopeful.

After enjoying the leisure time, Fang Chang closed the book, then got up and walked towards the bamboo bundle he had cut back in the morning.

In the spiritual awakening, it will rain in two days.

Add the new house to the roof and there is a place to shelter from the rain.

Unlock the rope of the bamboo bundle, select a few square long pieces, remove the branches and leaves, and then split them into two petals. Then, go to the stream to find the sharp long and small stones as chisels, cut them at appropriate locations on the bamboo, and carve the recesses with the stones and chisels.

He tied the six and a half split bamboo into three herringbones, and then tied it into a triangle at the position close to the intersection. Then he measured the position and stood up the bracket, tied it neatly at the same height with long bamboo pieces on the sides of the three herringbone brackets.

Fang Chang was preparing to prepare the roof on the ground and then install it on the frame of the house.

I have endless energy, but I am so willful.

Next, we tied the new roof with bamboo branches and leaves and the green thatch that we found not far away in the direction left by the rain.

The ridge is covered with thick thatch, and the two ends are also down the slope so that they do not leak.

It is the easiest to install. Compared to the big stone that was carried over as a table, the new square roof is as light as a feather.

He easily added the roof to the frame of the house and tied it in a circle with fine rattan to ensure that the roof could remain strong in the wind and rain.
