Chapter 92: Bring The Bird’s Nest Over!
Su Ran’s house being on Earth with this sudden news made Gray tense for over half a month.
Regarding Su Ran’s origin, which sounded utterly unbelievable and hard to imagine, Gray didn’t even think about it before completely believing her words.
And after believing, it was endless worry.
After that night, every time the sky darkened, even before the colorful clouds on the horizon had faded, Gray would anxiously pull Su Ran back to the bird’s nest.
If it saw Su Ran look up at Blue Star in the sky, it would even anxiously ignore whatever she was doing at the time and directly carry her back to the bird’s nest!
As if as soon as Su Ran looked at Blue Star, she would disappear the next second and fly back to Blue Star.
Even once, Su Ran just wanted to take a bath at night, but when she lifted her head while scooping water onto her shoulders, Blue Star happened to enter her eyes.
As a result, before she could even look clearly, the next second, she was directly lifted out of the water surface, and then she felt the sensation of streaking naked in the sky once again!
That night was the first time Gray was beaten up by Su Ran with fists and kicks!
Although Su Ran’s strength didn’t cause any harm to its thick-skinned and tough body.
But the benefit was that while being fiercely struck on the wolf head, Gray finally believed from Su Ran’s furious tone that she had been assuring it she wouldn’t return to Blue Star and would live with it forever.
So after that, Gray finally gradually felt relieved about Su Ran paying attention to Blue Star.
After the start of summer, Blue Star appeared in the night sky every night, just like the moon.
And as days passed one by one, its brightness grew brighter and brighter.
Su Ran, who looked at it every day, gradually got used to seeing it as soon as she looked up at night.
And during this time, the work of preparing materials for house construction continued without interruption every day.
After the stone bricks needed for house construction were almost prepared, Su Ran began preparing the wood needed for the roof beams and roof.
She first drew a rough sketch of the house on the ground, then calculated the size of the house, figured out the length and quantity of roof beam wood needed based on the house size, recorded all this data one by one with charcoal on a specially made smooth wooden board, and only then began processing the wood.
But processing this wood at the start was much more troublesome than making stone bricks.
The wood needed for building the house was all found and brought back by Gray and A Huo from the woods.
This forest had plenty of wood; finding a dozen withered trees was a piece of cake.
Among the withered trees brought back by Gray and the others, there were willow trees and Sweet Leaf Vein Trees.
There was even a bird’s nest tree that clearly hadn’t been around for long.
Because this bird’s nest tree was too thin, with a tree trunk only as thick as one person, it clearly hadn’t grown to maturity yet, but for some reason it had withered and died, so Gray and the others dragged it back.
What Su Ran felt fortunate about was that she had hardly seen any bugs in this world.
She didn’t know if there were none, or if these bugs all lived in dark places and never approached the living environments of large creatures.
The withered trees brought back by Gray and the others were mostly very large, clearly with high tree ages, and no worm damage was ever found on the trunks.
But how these trees died wasn’t important.
Su Ran carefully checked the tree trunks and found no worm holes or hollows; that was the key point.
She didn’t want the house to be built and then collapse within days because the roof beam overhead was worm-eaten and broken, taking her life along with it.
After checking that the wood had no problems, Su Ran worked with the beastmen to first clean off all the thin branches from the tree crowns of the withered trees, leaving only the bare main trunk part.
Then, after stripping all the bark from the trunks, the most basic processing of this wood was considered complete.
Only after that could Su Ran formally begin processing this wood.
But before processing the wood, she still had to first decide the place for house construction.
In Su Ran’s mind, there were actually two places she preferred.
One was the open space under the current bird’s nest tree.
That open space was very large; if she were to build a house, she could directly build it under their bird’s nest tree.
That place was originally the beastmen’s settlement, and Gray’s original bird’s nest was right there; if the house was built there, if she and Gray ever suddenly wanted to live in the bird’s nest for a few days, they could go back anytime.
It would feel like adding another room in her own yard.
Moreover, Su Ran actually had a bit of fledgling complex; she was a little reluctant to abandon the bird’s nest.
But the downside of the bird’s nest tree side was that it was ultimately in the dense forest, where sunlight could only be seen for a short time around noon during the daytime.
Especially after rain.
The moisture in the air lingered without dispersing due to the blockage of the dense forest; Su Ran felt that after a rain, the bird’s nest would stay damp for a long time.
This made her very uncomfortable.
The second place she had her eye on was upstream on the river beach, at the river bend where she bathed.
The open space there was large, and there was some distance from the woods edge to the riverside.
Moreover, walking from the woods edge to the riverside, after passing a flat area, the ground sloped gently.
Su Ran thought that if this river had a flood season, building the house here with this slope, there would be no worry about the river water rising to the house doorway.
But the downside was that it was a bit far from where the beastmen settlement lived.
And she always felt reluctant to leave the bird’s nest there.
Su Ran agonized over this final settlement place for two days, but her choice difficulty only grew worse.
So she simply didn’t choose herself, but directly pulled Gray to walk around both places and threw the choice to it.
And Gray only thought for a dozen seconds before giving Su Ran the answer.
“Here!”
It pointed at the open space behind Su Ran.
Seeing Su Ran’s doubtful gaze, it wagged its tail and continued: “Here, Ran Ran bathes here, Gray washes animal hide, makes fire, Ran Ran cooks fast too.”
As Gray finished speaking, its eyes sparkled looking at Su Ran.
Su Ran raised her eyebrows, looking at Gray; she didn’t expect this wolf to think even more than she did…
“What about the bird’s nest?”
Su Ran asked Gray.
She had only lived in the bird’s nest for less than two months but was already a little reluctant; Gray had always lived there, so she feared it would be even more reluctant.
Unexpectedly, after hearing her question, Gray laughed easily.
It leisurely wagged its tail, glanced at a few trees on the woods edge, then turned to Su Ran with a smile:
“Bird’s nest, Gray and A Huo, Qing Yu, A Jin, wooh… lift, bring it over!”
