Maruyama's disgusting work is indeed worthy of his grandfather's name, and the entire pavilion is not only perfect in appearance, but also beautiful and practical in the interior layout.

This layout is in the authentic Dongguo architectural style, with a corridor at the entrance, a living room on the left, a study on the right, and a kitchen and bedroom at the back.

Of course, the general layout is not too bells and whistles, it is a high-end version of the Tianzi grid, but the overall is very spacious, several times larger than the house of Sakuratake's predecessors.

As for the second floor, it is full of guest rooms, and the Dongguo people are used to sleeping on the floor, and if you squeeze it, more than ten or twenty people can live.

In addition to the main building, the surrounding facilities are not improvised.

In the courtyard planned by the bagpipes, Maruyama learned from the courtyard of Sakuratake's predecessors and built a pergola where he could shelter from the sun and escape the heat, chat and drink tea.

Not only that, but there is also an exclusive kennel for Fengbao in the yard, which is rainproof and moisture-proof, very exquisite and beautiful.

In the end, Maruyama used wood scraps to build a cowshed on the exterior as an exclusive rest room.

....

Looking at such a perfect new home, Xia Feng's gratitude to Maruyama is beyond words.

"Maruyama, you're such a talent, thank you so much, really."

Looking at his masterpiece, Maruyama also breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're welcome, in fact, I also want to thank you for allowing me to really build a house according to my own ideas."

Later, Xia Feng learned that all the houses in Minamino Village were basically built by Maruyama's grandfather and father, and when it came to Maruyama's generation, it was repaired.

Minamino's population grew slowly, and as an adult, Maruyama learned a lot from his ancestors, but he didn't have much room to do it.

He had a dream of building a house without thinking about the cost or the neighbors, and that was entirely based on his own creativity.

Now, that dream has finally come true.

Now here, Maruyama has successfully completed the task assigned to him by the village chief and Minamino Omura, helping Xia Feng build a house in the cherry blossom forest, and at the same time realizing his own value.

As for the vegetable garden mentioned by the bagpipes, he no longer needed to meddle, because that was beyond the carpenter's ability and belonged to agricultural knowledge.

....

Before the sun set, the hostess's bagpipes thoroughly cleaned the courtyard and pergola, and then began to prepare dinner.

As the first official dinner of the new home, they invited all the good friends of Minamino Village.

A new home needs popularity, and it can be regarded as auspicious.

Maruyama, Koemi, Sota, Hanako, Uncle Minamino, and several people, as representatives of Minamino Village, chatted happily in the pergola and waited for the meal to start.

As a neighbor who lives in the same cherry blossom forest, Sakuratake Shiyaro brought the remaining half of the jar of Yanguo shochu over as a congratulatory gift.

Xia Feng, as the head of the Huo Yu family, naturally smiled from ear to ear at the moment, to be honest, he was really happy, this kind of heartfelt happiness had not appeared for a long time.

The feeling was similar to when he first rented the barbecue restaurant in the Kilt neighborhood of Harpi City with the turtles, but it was more pure than that.

There is no gain or loss, no open and secret fighting, only the joy of harvest, and the peace of mind of taking root.

....

After the dishes were served, Xia Feng stood up with a wine glass.

"Thank you friends for taking care of our family, you can be so smooth when you first arrive, you are all my nobles of Xia Feng, as the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, I won't say much if you are polite, what do you need my help in the future, as long as I can do it in Xia Feng, I will go all out, come, cheers!"

"Cheers!"

True kindness is not necessarily gorgeous, and true kindness may also be the most simple.

Sota gave them small seafood, Uncle Minamino helped guide them, Maruyama helped them build a house, and Sakuratake's seniors selflessly shared the fruits of the vegetable garden.

Maybe in the eyes of outsiders, these are all trivial things, but it is these small things that can make them live with peace of mind.

There is nothing more important than being alive, and this kind of affection is very rare in today's world surrounded by profit, power, hatred, and pain.

It's hard to imagine that just two weeks ago, they were strangers who didn't know each other.

....

After the completion of the new home, the life of survival in the wilderness is finally announced.

Now when he is hungry, tired, and sleepy outside, he can finally puff up his chest and confidently say, "I'm going home."

He and the bagpipes have a home, although there are still many things that need to be improved, but now they have the most sufficient thing is time.

Night.

After dinner, the good friends said goodbye and left one by one.

Xia Feng sat in the living room and lit the oil lamp, and took out all the remaining coins on his body.

The bagpipes sat next to him with their chin propped up.

"Xia Feng, how much money do we have left?"

"I'll do the math."

When they set out from Dr. Nagado's house, they had 5 gold on them, and the cost along the way was about 20 silver, and they gave her another 30 silver when they left.

Subsequently, it cost 3 gold to buy cattle and close to 1 gold to buy building materials, Xia Feng counted carefully, and now they still have a total of 47 silver and 88 bronze in their hands.

The bagpipes pouted and thought for a moment.

"Why is there so much left, we still have a lot of money to spend."

Xia Feng raised his head.

"There is everything in the village, what else is there to spend money on?"

The bagpiper waved.

"You see, the house is empty, we still need a lot of daily necessities, and if we want to eat what we grow, we can't just have land."

"Got it, I'll go to town tomorrow and buy you a watering can."

"Die, you think you're watering the flowers."

....

The next day, Xia Feng carried all his belongings, took a shopping list that bagpipes had opened overnight, and was in a daze and went on the road again.

This time, he bought almost all the daily necessities he could buy in the town, including all kinds of agricultural tools, and some "high-end" goods from inland merchants had been backlogged and dusted, and this time they were finally bought by him.

With the rest of the money, he chartered a candy stall and prepared to take a large bag of candy back and distribute it to the villagers of Nanno Village to thank them for their care.

And just like that, the last shopping trip to town was over, and no, this time there was really no penny.

....

He and the bagpipes soon settled into life on the South Coast.

The sun and the moon alternate, the tide rises and falls, and everything returns to simple calm.

For the next few days, bagpipes spent the day pondering her vegetable garden, while Summer Breeze began to do nothing.

Originally, he was going to follow Uncle Minamino to try the feeling of going out to sea to fish, and if he could, he also wanted to be a handsome old driver, oh no, old captain.

However, because of the previous nightmare incident, the one-month sea seal has not yet ended, and this is a ritual that no one can break.

...

Early in the morning of one day.

The summer breeze rose early, and after moving his body in the yard for a while, he ran to the beach and started jogging along the shoreline.

After this period of free time, he would run almost every morning, in order to gradually regain his strength after recovering from a serious illness.

"Fengbao, run slower, you can't catch up, whew"

"Wang!"

Feng Bao's energy seems to be ten times that of him, and whenever he wants to run, Feng Bao will be happy to accompany him.

The morning sun has not yet appeared, the temperature is still good at this time, and the coastline as far as the eye can see is empty, because the feeling of the body is getting better and better day by day, this time, the summer breeze runs a little far unknowingly.

The surrounding scenery became unfamiliar, until he was tired and panting, and Xia Feng finally stopped and stretched his arms.

"Whew, I'm so tired, I'll run at least seven or eight kilometers in one breath."

"Wang, Wang!"

Just then, Feng Bao suddenly rushed to a reef, and began to slash with his claws against a sandbag under the stone.

"Hey, Fengbao, what are you looking for?"

When he got closer, Feng Bao had already dug very deep.

Suddenly, Feng Bao, who was obsessively shaving sand, retreated, and a fist-sized head poked out of the sand pit.

Staring at this strange creature, Xia Feng was stunned.

This kind of thing, he seems to have seen, oh no, to be exact, as if he had eaten it.

"It's ...... Worm? ”
