Collecting Seeds

For the next two days, the primary tasks for Jiang Chuan's family's was to build a wooden house and collect a large number of leaves to cover the roof.

Country Z had a traditional technique for building wooden houses without nails or cement, known as tenon-mortise technology. This method uses the interlocking parts of the wood blocks to create various structures or furniture, whether using logs or square timber.

While Jiang Xia and Jiang Gu were joining pieces of wood together, they could hear their mother striking with a hammer. The noise was so loud that it made Jiang Xia's heart flutter. Her mother's strength was incredible. Jiang Xia thought anyone who dared upset her mother would probably be flapped away with a single slap.

"Sister, what are you thinking about?" Jiang Gu's voice brought Jiang Xia back to reality, realizing she had unconsciously stopped working.

"Nothing much, I was just admiring our mother's strength!" Jiang Xia exclaimed.
