Chapter 14 Overnight in the Treehouse
Two days and two nights have passed since she transmigrated to this strange otherworld. During this time, she has been carefully hiding in the cave, not daring to take a single step out.
However, whether she lost her way or wandered out of the mountains in search of food, she couldn't find any caves to hide in.
Ruan Mianmian was extremely anxious, constantly clicking back and forth on the screen, her eyes fixed on the nearest cave marker.
Even so, the cave was still several kilometers away. Given her current pace and the approaching darkness, reaching it in a short time was practically impossible.
After careful consideration, Ruan Mianmian made a resolute decision—to spend the night in the tree.
Just do it!
She began to carefully examine the trees around her, trying to find a larger, more lush tree.
After all, lush foliage not only means greater carrying capacity, but also provides better concealment.
Persistence pays off, and before long, Ruan Mianmian discovered a large tree whose name she didn't even know.
Its branches are thick and its leaves are dense, resembling a giant natural umbrella.
Without saying a word, she used both her hands and feet, and like a nimble monkey, she quickly climbed up to the middle of the tree.
The tree stands tall on the earth like a giant green umbrella, its top spreading out like a blooming flower to form a broad canopy. Near the top of the trunk, a dense, lush layer of branches grows, as if nature had specially woven a barrier for it.
Ruan Mianmian had a brilliant idea and decided to make full use of the tree's original branches to build a cozy and comfortable little nest.
After careful weaving, she successfully created a small, exquisite, and highly practical shelter.
Although the space in this little nest is limited, it is just right for the petite Ruan Mianmian, who can easily squeeze into it.
At this moment, Ruan Mianmian felt a surge of gratitude for her past experiences.
It was precisely because of the hardships and difficulties she experienced in her childhood that she acquired a variety of survival skills early on. Now, these skills have finally come in handy, allowing her to find a place to live and thrive in this unfamiliar environment.
Next, Ruan Mianmian began searching for a special type of leaf in the surrounding area. This leaf had a unique scent that would keep both animals and insects at bay.
She painstakingly collected a large number of these leaves and used the sturdy hemp rope provided by the system to tie them tightly together before returning to the treehouse with her bounty.
As night quietly falls, the earth is shrouded in darkness, with only the faint moonlight casting its glow.
The world under the tree became lively and bustling, with all sorts of small insects and animals busily moving about in the grass.
Realizing the potential danger, Ruan Mianmian dared not slacken her pace in the slightest. She quickly picked up the leaves in her hand and wrapped the entire treehouse tightly, layer upon layer, to ensure her safety.
Then she took a dagger, cut some branches, crawled into the treehouse, and finally used the branches to seal the small opening.
Only then did she slowly breathe a sigh of relief. The sense of security one feels in a well-sealed environment is not unfounded; at this moment, Ruan Mianmian felt quite good, at least she felt very safe for the time being.
She opened the map and began to observe her surroundings. The map was covered with countless tiny red dots scattered across various locations, some large, some small, which made her extremely nervous.
Zooming in on the map, she examined her surroundings. Several small red dots were slowly moving not far from her. However, since she was currently in a tree, about ten meters above the ground, she was relatively safe.
My stomach started rumbling. I've been quite active today, so I got hungry pretty quickly.
She first bought two steamed buns from the system store, and then took out the roasted meat she had baked earlier from her storage space and began to feast on it.
While eating, she kept looking at the real-time map in case she was not able to avoid danger in time.
Then the system popped up again: "Host, have you forgotten about this system? The system will issue an early warning if it detects danger."
Hearing the system's words, Ruan Mianmian nodded. She was just used to relying on herself for everything, so she had temporarily forgotten the system's warning.
After finishing her meal, exhaustion washed over her. Ruan Mianmian yawned incessantly; she hadn't had a good night's sleep in the past two days, her nerves constantly on edge, fearing she might lose her life.
After nodding countless times, she finally succumbed to sleep...
Night fell, and danger crept in.
