First, the stone wall on the north side was repaired to a height of 1.2 meters, and then a wall 4 meters long and half a meter high was built on the east side.
Another night passed just like that.
With sleepy eyes, he made himself some breakfast stew.
He slowly ate it with Tu Jun.
Tu Jun said, "You go ahead with your work, I'll take a walk outside."
So Ma Lin was left alone here building the wall.
The surroundings were desolate and uninhabited.
The sun rose, making it incredibly uncomfortable.
Flies and mosquitoes buzzed around him.
First, he attended to two piles of fire to ensure that no wild beasts would attack him while he was busy.
Then he went to the stream to dig soft mud, continuously fetching three baskets of it.
After that, he slowly stacked the stones. He always felt tired.
After stacking two stones, he would wipe his sweat.
He doubted whether the house he was building truly had any value.
