A Tree House as beautiful as a Fairy Tale

Building a camp in the banyan tree was for further consideration of camp safety.

It was now known that there were six top predators on the island: pythons, wild boars, bears, crocodiles, clouded leopards and Komodo dragons.

In order to comfortably survive on the island, the safety level of the camp had to be raised as much as possible.

Of these six predators, clouded leopards were afraid of humans, bears and wild boars were afraid of fire, pythons and Komodo dragons were afraid of irritating odors, crocodiles were afraid of almost nothing, thick-skinned and stubborn. Its most dangerous place was good at sneak attacks. If you were not careful, it would crawl through the cracks in the fence in the middle of the night and carry away a girl. At that time, would she even have time to cry?

Building the camp in the tree made the safety factor much higher.

It wasn't that crocodiles couldn't climb trees, but the larger the crocodile, the lower its ability to climb trees.

In other words, the more dangerous the crocodile, the less likely it was to attack people in the tree house.

What's more, the camp also had cows. Crocodiles with normal thinking would not give up the cows on the ground and climb the tree to eat girls.

The equally dangerous wild boars would not climb trees either.

Then plant cat's claw vines and other plants on the aerial roots of banyan trees to prevent invasion by pythons and Komodo dragons.

With the blazing campfire, other mammals would not rashly invade either.

Lu Zhe could also sleep soundly.

Lu Zhe told the girls his ideas and got everyone's unanimous approval!

Shen Bing nodded: "Yes, only tree houses built in trees can be called tree houses. What we have now is at best a tree shelter."

Ning Shu said, "That's right, we can build a big tree house!"

Lin Qianqian blushed and said, "I think a smaller one would be better. It would make us feel safer when we squeezed together."

Tang Xiaoguo said, "There's also Lu Zhe to help warm our feet!"

Jiang Yao stretched out her pretty feet and took a look: "Xiao Zhe has worked so hard. I won't take advantage of him like this. I can help warm his hands."

You see, the same thing, said from different perspectives, would produce different feelings.

Lu Zhe was very satisfied with what Jiang Yao said.

Which made Tang Xiaoguo pout dissatisfied.

"In that case, let's start upgrading the camp today. Although it will be very hard work, it will be worth it for our future home," said Lu Zhe.

Shen Bing also reminded: "We must also disturb the habitat of the monkeys as little as possible. These little things will eliminate the insects in our banyan tree and keep it clean."

After discussing plans with Shen Bing, Lin Qianqian designed the structural drawings of the tree house. The girls added and modified them.

In the end, Lu Zhe saw a castle-like thing built on the tree and fell into thought.

"I said, didn't you want a sense of security and want to build a smaller one?"

Ning Shu nodded: "Yes, our bedroom is small, but the living room, kitchen, closet, entertainment room, bathroom and other places can't be small!"

Lu Zhe looked at the drawings and nodded:

"To build this thing, ten banyan trees would be crushed to death! My beauties, this is a tree house. For safety, the whole thing has to be smaller. Can we think of something more sensible?"

"Got it!" The girls started discussing again.

After a long time, they finally figured out a decent one.

It was a fairy tale beautiful little house, 2.5 meters high, 9 square meters in area, 3 meters long and 3 meters wide.

It had beautiful arched doors, round windows, and a 9 square meter balcony at the door where you could see the sea view to the east, the bay to the south, the woods to the west, and faintly see the small lake in the distance.

Below was a spiral staircase surrounding the banyan tree trunk.

It was definitely designed with elements from the Southeast Asian guys' videos in Ning Shu's phone.

Although a bit fancy, it was still a good idea. At least it was feasible.

Then start working!

Compared to when they first arrived on the island, they didn't even dare to think about such a tree house.

But now, with handy tools and experience in building shelters, many things became simple.

Lu Zhe and Shen Bing climbed the tree to determine the location of the tree house, and then pruned the banyan tree.

Make sure most of the tree house is hidden in the foliage, but also allow some to enjoy sunlight.

Lu Zhe cut down a lot of straight bamboos and lined them up along the aerial roots.

The bottom had to bear the weight of six people and had to be made entirely of thick bamboo.

After tying each one tightly, the four pillars also had to be thick bamboo, but the four walls could be woven with bamboo strips into soft walls.

The day and night temperature difference in the interior of the volcanic island was not as great as outside, and the woven bamboo strip walls could block the gentle sea breeze and the peeping of monkeys, which was basically enough.

The roof was originally going to be tiled with bamboo strips, but after working all day, it was really exhausting to split so many tiles, so I had to temporarily top it with palm leaves for now.

By nightfall, the outline of the tree house was finished. Although the doors, windows, balcony and stairs were not yet installed, only a simple ladder was made, covered with straw, bear skins and sheepskins, it was barely habitable inside.

After working hard all day, everyone was a little tired physically and mentally.

Taking a bath, drying off, and comfortably sleeping was more important than anything.

But Lu Zhe was destined not to sleep very comfortably this night.

In his sleep, someone's foot rested on his neck and he couldn't breathe for a long time.

Just as he pushed it aside, someone kicked him straight in the face.

That was nothing. The key was that other reasons made him unable to fall asleep at all.

No, being so close to these girls was too much of a test. It was better to sleep alone.

He had to run under the tree again to barely make it through the night.

But this kind of experience was destined not to be peaceful. In the middle of the night, he still had a dream.

Lu Zhe thought, this should be an ordinary dream!

But no!

When he opened his eyes early in the morning, he found that Jiang Yao was sleeping in front of him.

He was shocked and exclaimed: "Yao Yao, you..."

Jiang Yao had her eyes closed with a faint smile at the corners of her mouth, and said in an almost inaudible soft tone: "Morning!"

"When did you come down?"

"Not long after you came down. I was afraid you would be lonely. And I thought that since I'm on duty today, I'd come down specially to accompany you!"

Lu Zhe felt a little weird!

Why was it that whenever some other dangerous animal appeared, he could keenly perceive it, but when the girl did something next to him, his five senses were dulled?

"So..."

She opened her eyes, full of tenderness.

"Anyway, the one you owed me has been compensated, although it's a little different from what I imagined, it's still unforgettable."

Lu Zhe smiled wryly: "At least find me when I'm awake!"

But he secretly panicked. How awkward would it have been if he had unconsciously called out Xiaoguo's name in the middle of the night?

Jiang Yao also sat up and tied up her hair with her little socks.

Her actions were naturally graceful, speeding up Lu Zhe's heartbeat.

Knowing each other for so long, he never realized that Yao Yao was so beautiful.

Could this be the nourishment of love?
