My whole family time-traveled! I became a god during my exile in a famine.

Chapter 225 Summer Vacation
That night, everyone was given snake meat to eat. No matter what, it was still meat, which was a great joy for the beggar refugees who hadn't eaten meat in a long time.

Xin Nian was also very happy.

She hadn't originally planned to bring the snake's body back, but Yan Xi suggested it, and the group members helped her get rid of that disgusting snake corpse.

The group members earned plenty of points, while she collected a bunch of snake bones and snake oil, and even obtained a snake gall bladder with extremely high medicinal value.

This day was full of thrills and rewards, a day where risks and opportunities coexisted.

The next few days were very peaceful. Everyone continued to travel by night and rest by day, overcoming all difficulties to follow the leader.

However, as the temperature continued to rise, the group members' thirst for water gradually increased.

Fortunately, Chen Ling advanced to the next level, which significantly increased the water flow.

Chang Mianmian makes ice blocks every day on the farm and is making rapid progress. She is about to break through to the fifth level.

The two provided plenty of drinking water for the group members every day, and Chang Mianmian could even find time to go to the farm to continue making ice.

Seeing that Mianmian had been working very hard lately, her sister provided her with all the good food and drinks. To reward Mianmian, Xin Nian secretly fed her a lot of delicious food.

Seven days later, the group arrived at a canyon.

At this time, the outside temperature was nearly 58 degrees Celsius, and many people collapsed and couldn't get up while walking.

The accompanying doctors have been brewing a heat-relieving soup for the past two days, earning points every day – a bittersweet experience.

Due to the earthquake and the fire, the canyon is now in ruins, and it is almost impossible to find a particularly flat path.

The crowd stopped and looked ahead.

Soon, the regimental commander returned with the vanguard squad. He gulped down two cups of water before speaking, "There's a flat area about three miles ahead, with a hill behind it that will block out a lot of the sun."

Xin Nian brought her father another cup of warm water.

Old Xin took a few sips of his drink and continued, "We've surveyed the area, and there's a deep trench nearby, split open by an earthquake, shaped exactly like an L. No one else could possibly pass through there."

"Thus, an L-shaped ditch, together with the hills behind us, forms a natural barrier."

"If we set up camp here, all we need to do is guard the eastern entrance."

Xin Nian nodded, "Then it's decided. Let's go there now."

“Alright.” Xin Wenyuan glanced back at the dejected group and shouted, “Everyone, hang in there a little longer. We’ll be able to set up camp and rest in a quarter of an hour at most.”

Everyone rallied their spirits and, led by the group leader, continued forward.

Xin Nian whispered to Xie Ninglan, "Let's go over there first and get the woods out."

"it is good."

Xie Ninglan was also worried that such a large swathe of trees might fly out of the farm and hit someone...

Xin Nian winked at her mother, "Mom, you've been working hard these past few days. Take a good rest later."

Xie Ninglan waved her hand, "Your dad is more tired, he goes back and forth to exercise every day."

However, hard work pays off, and Lao Xin finally broke through to the fourth level. His daughter asked him to practice the speed of light, and he gained some understanding.

“Your dad is still working hard,” Xie Ninglan whispered to her daughter. “If you don’t have enough talent, you have to practice more.”

Xin Nian couldn't help but want to laugh.

Xin Wenyuan pointed to a spot not far ahead, "It's right there."

He turned to his wife and daughter, who were muttering to themselves, and asked, "You two go first?"

"Okay, Dad, you take them here for a while." Xin Nian pulled her mother and teleported over.

The rest of the people stayed where they were, looking around with curiosity.

"Have we arrived?"

"Not yet. Isn't the hill the leader mentioned just ahead?" "Everyone, please wait patiently for a while."

Xin Nian pulled her mother to the front to look around.

The L-shaped ditch did indeed encompass most of the open space, but it was far enough away that no one would be foolish enough to fall in.

"Niannian, can we build that wooden house?"

Xin Nian calculated the distance in her mind, weighed it for a moment, and nodded, "That should be enough. If we move the woods a little further out, our cabin will be right next to the hill."

"Mmm." Xie Ninglan was overjoyed.

Xin Nian turned her head and thought for a moment, then exclaimed, "Oh dear, Mother, the wooden houses are all stored in the tool area and haven't been opened yet. How about this, once we've settled in today, I'll go and try my best to break through to the sixth rank."

"Maybe they'll let our cabin out tonight."

"Oh, okay!" Xie Ninglan was initially a little disappointed, but upon hearing her daughter's promise, she immediately became happy again.

The big pancake my daughter drew looks so round and fragrant; it's so delicious to eat one bite at a time.

"Mom, I'm not just making empty promises. I'm serious! I'm not too confident about reaching the seventh rank, but the sixth rank is a piece of cake. I'll be able to advance in a few days, but I just want to consolidate my position a bit more."

"That's great, my dear! I'm so looking forward to taking a shower!" Xie Ninglan pointed to the open space around them. "Then you'll have to plan the location carefully and leave enough space for us to put the wooden house there."

Xin Nian nodded, raised her hand and waved, and a lush forest appeared at the foot of the hill.

The group members who were watching from a distance rubbed their eyes and then burst into screams and cheers.

My God, what a miracle this is!

Are they seeing things?

A forest! A huge forest!

This really is a forest! So many trees, tall and short, thick and thin, all huddled together in an incredible grove.

Xin Wenyuan was also very excited.

This is all thanks to her daughter-in-law's hard work over the past few days; her contribution is enormous!
Sure enough, as long as his wife is around, he doesn't have to worry about anything.

The group leader waved his hand, shouted "Let's go!" and led the group members in high spirits, running excitedly towards the woods.

Everyone quickened their pace, eager to rush into the woods ahead.

The villagers of Zhoucun were incredulous. Some hugged the tree and shouted, while others kowtowed under the tree. It was a chaotic scene.

After the group leader and the others laughed wildly for a while, they waved their hands and shouted, "Alright, everyone, set up camp in your own groups according to the old divisions."

"The outer perimeter will be fenced off to protect everyone, so those living on the outermost edge don't need to worry about safety."

The crowd cheered, touching the trees and feeling them tremble.

With a face full of excitement, Village Chief Zhou grabbed Old Man Zhou's hand and expressed his gratitude to him again, "Old Man, you are truly wise, leading our whole village to follow a good team."

"Quickly, let's settle down quickly."

"It's so cool here, it feels like a completely different world from outside."

"Of course! Look what this is!"

"A huge block of ice!" Someone reached out and touched it, but immediately withdrew their hand because of the cold.

"Mom, it's so cold and icy."

"Won't this huge block of ice just melt into water soon if we leave it on the ground like this? It's such a waste."

“When I first arrived, I saw a lot of large rocks over there. We worked together to chisel those large rocks to make a base, and then put the ice on top.”

"Great idea! Great idea! Ah, Young Master Cheng, you really do have a brilliant mind!"

"In this way, the ice will melt and flow into the stone trough, so it should be drinkable, right?"
