Chapitre 165: 165: We are busy

The springtime forest was bursting with new growth: fresh sprouts on trees, verdant grass, and flowers scattered across the mountainside, a scene thriving with life.

Tents were pitched upon the lush grassland.

A wooden boardwalk, distinct from the drivable main road, ran parallel without intersecting and extended smoothly down the slope, leading directly to the front of a two-and-a-half-story house at the end of the boardwalk.

The house featured walls of floor-to-ceiling windows on two sides. Looking through the glass, one could see a neatly arranged dining area with tables and chairs and an open kitchen, a space provided for visitors to cook and dine.

Zhou Liao and his friends had a successful fishing trip, catching over a dozen fish, keeping the big ones and releasing the small ones.

Carrying several fish at least three pounds each, the four men didn't head back to the campsite but instead went straight into the open kitchen.
