Chapter 13 – New foundations (part 3)

Rodan and his men who are woodcutters usually process the wood to be made into furniture such as tables, chairs, plates to cutlery and other house furniture.

As for building houses, since this is still a village on the outskirts, people who build new houses are very rare in this village. Because of this, usually Rodan and his people only do maintenance such as leaking roofs and so on, and because of this they can only make simple types of houses.

There are two types of houses that are common in this village, one is a simple house like those in villages in general. The other type is cabin logs, shaped like houses that you can see in mountainous areas or forests that at first glance look like wooden bars that are stacked and become houses.

This type of house is usually built on the outskirts of the village which is in the southern part of the village close to a great forest, with the assumption that this form will be more sturdy if a beast suddenly appears from the outskirts of the village.

"I'm very grateful if it's like that. But before that, I have to talk to Gramps Rob first, after that I'll look for a location to dig a water well. "

Grandpa Rob was one of the elder members of the village. When he was young, he was known to be strong among the villagers of the same age as him and also the most eccentric among the other villagers. 

Because of this, when he was young, he decided to live in the southernmost part of the village and closest to the great forest. If we were to head towards the great forest from this section, then we would definitely pass by his house and fields.

For water, in the eastern part of the village, a river flows from within the great forest, the river has several curves, part of the river flows through the northern part of the village, and it is that area that has the most extensive fields in this village.

Meanwhile, our part in the south can only rely on wells as a source of water, of course I also plan to dig a well, but before that, there are other things that I must arrange first.

"Alright then, we'll process the wood first. And when you're ready, you just let us know.", Rodan said in response to my words just now.

"As my gratitude, Support magic, Physical enhancement plus Strength up. This should last for the next few hours. "

I used Support magic to help them with their work.

"Hoo! Thank you Hyuga, with this kind of support we can work more energetically!"

After that, I visited grandpa Rob and saw him tending to his fields.

"Hoho... Boy, you still survived after that night. "

"We're sorry Gramps, we've caused you a lot of trouble. "

"No problem, this old man was just a little shocked that night. So today, do you want to help me again?"

Previously, I had helped Rob's grandfather take care of his farm when I delivered goods to him from Leo.

"Of course, it would be my pleasure if you don't mind. But before that... ", I explained Ricardo's idea about building a house nearby.

"Of course this old man will be happy to have a new neighbor... "

"Of course, son. If there are young people living near us, we will also feel at ease. This old man sometimes pushes himself too hard. "

"Hey, old granny! I'm still strong enough to take care of the fields and ward off pests from the forest... Ack! My waist... "

Grandpa Rob, who heard his wife's words, immediately got up and moved his body to show that his body was still strong enough, unfortunately it ended with him suffering from pain in his lower back.

The sight of an 82-year-old grandfather who was still strong enough to fend off horned rabbits and goblins as well as take care of some of his fields was a sight that was probably natural to me.

A person of his age with this kind of vigor is, of course, rare to find both in this world and in my old world. That's why, when I see grandpa Rob, I sometimes think of my late grandfather.

For your information, my grandfather died when he was 96 years old and at that age he could still beat me to a pulp.

' auh... remembering him makes me wonder, why do I always meet these kind of overpowered old men.
