I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1961 - 1963: Just Wait for Prosperity, My Queen

Chapter 1961: Chapter 1963: Just Wait for Prosperity, My Queen
The little girl looks very slim, but her hands and feet are very nimble. Since there are no iron nails here, you can only make simple wooden wedges and trapezoidal interlocking pieces. However, by the time dusk falls, you have already finished building the cabin.
Your construction of a house on the hillside has attracted the villagers’ attention.
On one hand, it’s because of your peculiar status, and on the other hand, it’s because the shape of the house you built is entirely different from theirs and seems more solid and durable.
The cabin isn’t large, but it’s enough for three people to live in. While building it, you even contemplated making a big bed so that the three of you could... hehehe.
Well, it’s just a joke, you chuckled wryly, finishing the last of the door fitting.
"Well, it’s done!"
Standing in front of the newly built cabin, you wipe the sweat off your forehead, your face full of smiles. However, your biggest gain today is not in this, but during the process of chopping trees with a steel blade. You realize your body seems to have undergone a series of training during that blank memory period. You’re not only incredibly fast but also surprisingly strong, able to easily uproot a tree that would require three adults to hug, and you can carry its trunk for a kilometer with ease.
Thanks to this body, you are filled with confidence about your future.
However, just as you turn around, Himiko, who had just stood up, suddenly collapses.
Your face changes sharply, and people around can’t even see your movement, blurring as you immediately catch Himiko.
"What’s going on?"
You look at Himiko with a panic-stricken face.
Himiko rests in your embrace, pressing her cheek against your chest, feeling the vitality emanating from you. She smiles faintly and says, "Can you carry me inside to take a look?"
"Alright."
For some reason, at that moment, your heart is flooded with extremely complex emotions, indescribable but exceedingly uncomfortable.
You carry Himiko into the newly built small cabin, and Little Cherry casually closes the door afterward. The outsiders leave, as to them, this place is like a forbidden area not to be intruded upon.
The newly built cabin, with wood freshly cut from the forest, is filled with the scent of trees.
Seeing the clean, bright cabin with some never-before-seen wooden furniture, Little Cherry happily twirls around in the room, her pretty little face blooming like a flower, vibrant and attractive.
Himiko also bears a faint smile on her face. She looks up at you, her eyes filled with a sense of contentment and happiness.
You lay Himiko down on the newly made but as yet unpadded wooden bed.
"While it’s still daylight, I’ll find some dried grass from the nearby area to temporarily pad it. There’s no weaving industry here, nor even sophisticated matting techniques. It seems there’s a need to educate these primitive people anew."
Upon hearing this, a spark of brightness flashes through Himiko’s previously dim eyes. She looks straight at you and asks, "You... are you really willing to?"
Upon hearing this, you involuntarily hold Himiko’s slender hand, gently patting the back of her hand with a smile, saying, "What’s there to be willing or unwilling about? Since I’m idling anyway, I might as well share the knowledge I know with you all, and let these wild men learn the characters and language of the Great Han, fully integrating them into the profound Han culture, making them Han citizens overseas."
Hearing this, Himiko couldn’t help but struggle to sit up, but you, feeling sorry for her, allowed her to lean against you, slowly sitting up.
"We... we are actually descendants of Duke Wu, the founder coming from the ancestors of the Wu State. To evade pursuit by the Qin people, Duke Wu ordered his descendants to escape their homeland in ten Emperor Yu ships, drifting and scattering to Sunrise Island of the Eastern Sea. After centuries of proliferation, we have today’s scene. Unfortunately, after long years of wandering, our civilization now lags far behind the Great Han; coupled with constant disasters and conflicts year after year, as you said, our people are indeed like wild people nowadays."
You didn’t catch the rest of what Himiko said. The term Emperor Yu keeps echoing in your mind. When you heard this term, it felt strangely familiar, as if it had long been etched into your heart.
"Is the Emperor Yu you mentioned just now the name of a ship?"
Himiko nodded slightly: "Emperor Yu was a massive ship at sea, capable of carrying ten thousand people."
"Ten thousand people? Such a ship, do you still have it now?"
"The Emperor Yu of that time has long decayed and shattered. However, my ancestors were a branch of King Wu and handed down a detailed construction blueprint of Emperor Yu. Unfortunately, building an Emperor Yu requires immense resources and manpower, beyond the national strength of the Xiematai Kingdom to construct even one ship."
You gently lay Himiko down, smiling, saying, "That’s a matter for the future. For now, you should focus on getting well. Don’t worry, with me here, I will surely see you recover. Since you are the queen of the Xiematai Kingdom, you should have the demeanor of a queen, await the prosperity of the nation, my queen!"
Saying this, you lower your head and give Himiko a kiss on her forehead, then turn and leave.
After exiting the small cabin, your face lights up with an exceptionally brilliant smile. Raising your fist towards the setting sun, you shout, "Great Han, wait for me, soon!"
In three days, you have established your first base on this Sunrise Island of the Eastern Sea. Although this so-called base is only three small wooden cabins and some everyday utensils.
In just three days, you’ve basically become familiar with your body. Although you don’t know what kind of training you underwent before, you now have absolute confidence to take a general’s head among thousands of troops!
Although the villagers of the small fishing village are very curious about you, for some reason, they have a kind of dread towards Himiko and Little Cherry on the hillside. This issue has always been in your heart. With nothing to do today and while Little Cherry went to the seaside to dig shells, you brought Himiko outside, and the two of you sat on a stool you made, basking in the sun.
Himiko’s health hasn’t improved, which is your greatest distress. No matter how you ask Himiko, she always seems evasive and unwilling to let you know the cause of her illness.
"I know you must be hiding something from me. Hmm, how to say, although I’m not usually nosy, and others’ lives and deaths mean little to me, you are different. You are the one I have set my eyes on. No matter what, I will cure your illness and will also help you fulfill your wish. Before that, I hope you tell me what you are hiding."
