Traveling through time and space to achieve a well-off life with your family

The next day, the male voice did not condemn Banmu for leaking the information yesterday. As usual, he took Banmu to the snow mountain and issued a trial task.

In this way, Banmu went out every day to complete the trial. After seeing Banmu off every day, Cheng Mo began to study the city planning map. With the help of this book, Cheng Mo further improved his city construction plan.

This winter was indeed very long. It was long enough that Cheng Mo’s wheat-colored skin, which had been tanned from working, turned white. It was long enough that Cheng Lingqu was as tall as Cheng Mo’s calves. It was long enough that Banmu could fight the mountain guardian beast on equal terms…

*

One morning, Cheng Mo saw Ban Mu off. He stood on the platform and looked down. The outside world was still covered in snow, but a little new green had begun to emerge. The creatures that had been living in cramped conditions for a whole winter also began to come out to look for food. Although the river was still frozen, Cheng Mo could hear the sound of water flowing underwater.

"Dad." Cheng Lingqu came out holding his original body. Cheng Lingqu's original body was planted in a small water tank. The soil under the water was all soil. Cheng Mo was afraid that Cheng Lingqu's original body would not be used to the size of the water tank, so he originally planned to plant it in the big pond beside the cave. It was Banmu who brought it back and planted it in the small water tank because he was afraid that Cheng Lingqu's original body would be frozen. Fortunately, Cheng Lingqu's original body was not big, but small and cute, like a small jade lotus.

"Baby?" Cheng Mo turned around and touched Cheng Lingqu's head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Cheng Lingqu raised the small water jar in his hand and said, "Dad, the baby is hungry again!"

Cheng Mo took a closer look and found that the Xirang in the water tank had turned into a shallow layer again. Obviously, Xirang should be a magical thing that can regenerate, but for some reason, the Xirang in this small water tank often becomes less and does not regenerate. Cheng Mo observed it for a few days and found nothing abnormal. Instead, Cheng Lingqu often cried out for hunger. Cheng Mo felt sorry for him and could only keep adding Xirang. Now the Xirang in his hands was getting less and less, but Cheng Lingqu's hunger situation did not get alleviated.

Cheng Mo asked about 079, but 079 hadn't appeared for a long time. Fortunately, Cheng Lingqu had no other problems except being hungry.

After Cheng Mo added the soil to the small water tank, the lotus in the small water tank became visibly energetic, and Cheng Lingqu also shook his head happily. Cheng Mo carried Cheng Lingqu back to the kang, and he took the city construction plan he had prepared. When the ice on the mountain road melted, he would take the book down to find the fierce cypress high priest and others. When the spring came and the flowers bloomed, they would start the construction.

Spring comes very suddenly. It seems that the world outside has changed as soon as I get up. It was all white yesterday, but today the hill has turned green.

Cheng Mo held Cheng Lingqu in his arms and walked carefully on the path. He was holding a bamboo basket in his hands, which contained books and a sickle. Cheng Lingqu clung to Cheng Mo's body. He wanted to get down and walk by himself, but Cheng Mo was always afraid that the child would fall. It would take a long time for an adult like him to walk on this mountain road.

When Cheng Mo finally reached the foot of the mountain, he saw the fierce crow coming to find him: "Cheng Mo! I was just coming to find you!"

Cheng Mo looked at Xiongwu and smiled, "Long time no see! How are you guys doing?"

Cheng Lingqu shouted happily: "Uncle Xiongwu!"

Xiongwu came closer, took the bamboo baskets from Cheng Lingqu and Cheng Mo, and said, "We had a good winter, and no one returned to the embrace of the Beast God. Thank you."

"I'm glad that everyone is okay." Cheng Mo felt relieved when he heard the news. When he was up there, he had been very worried about the situation here, fearing that he would hear news of people freezing to death or starving to death. Fortunately, everyone is still alive today.

"Why are you looking for me?" Cheng Mo thought of what the fierce bird had said before.

"It was the high priest. He asked me to come to you and ask when we can build the house." Xiongwu continued, "As soon as the snow stopped a few days ago, we arranged for people to make bricks. Now there are so many bricks over there that they can't be put away."

"You guys started working so early?" Cheng Mo touched his nose. He was still sleeping in upstairs the past two days. It was too cold outside and Ban Mu didn't allow him to come down.

"Yes, the high priest is looking forward to living in the house! We listened to him talking about the house every day when we were hibernating!" Xiongwu smiled. The high priest had nothing to do every day, so he would comb the cubs' fur and tell them stories. He didn't have such leisure time in the past. When it was the coldest, everyone had to go out hunting for food. Thanks to Cheng Mo and the others, otherwise many orcs would have died this winter.

"Hahahaha, I also want to move into the house sooner!" Cheng Mo was looking forward to what his house would look like in the future.

When they reached the cave entrance, they saw Xiong Bai and Yan Hai sitting at the entrance warming their hands, with a few little cubs playing obediently at their feet.

"High Priest! Chief Patriarch Yan!" Cheng Mo walked over and greeted them. The two of them quickly stood up and said with a smile, "Master Cheng Mo, long time no see!"

Cheng Lingqu twisted his body in the Xiongwu's hand, and Xiongwu put him down. Cheng Lingqu quickly walked over and took Cheng Mo's hand and said obediently: "Hello, Grandpa High Priest, hello, Grandpa Yan!" The two of them happily picked up Cheng Lingqu, weighed him and said: "Oh, my dear baby, you have grown up recently, and grandpa can hardly hold you anymore!"

Seeing several people rubbing against each other, Cheng Mo smiled and said, "Don't stand at the entrance of the cave. Let's go in. I have something to tell you."

After they sat on the kang, Cheng Mo took out the plan he made from the bamboo basket and looked at the thick animal skins. Xiong Bai and the other man touched the patterns carved on the skins with care. They knew that this was the city planning map they were going to build in the future.

"High Priest, Chief Yan, this is my optimized city plan. I plan to..." Cheng Mo pointed at the map on the animal skin and explained it for a whole morning. The others gathered around and listened with relish. They seemed to see what it would be like if they lived in the city, with convenient transportation and an open environment...

Cheng Mo explained very carefully, and when he finished, he saw everyone's expectant look and knew that no one would object, so after lunch he followed the other orcs to the brick kiln factory.

Cheng Mo saw Xiya here. He was leading the people of the Xijiao tribe to make bricks here. Seeing Cheng Mo coming, Xiya walked over with a smile and greeted him: "Cheng Mo! Long time no see!"

Cheng Mo was also very happy to see Xiya. This tall orc was covered in dirt. He had been working here for two days and was used to the ash. Seeing Cheng Mo's clean appearance, he quickly wiped his hands on his animal skin, then pointed to the shed where bricks were stored and said, "We burned a lot of bricks since the day before yesterday, and now there is no more space. Can we start building a house with so many bricks?"

Cheng Mo followed him to the shed. They didn't know how long they had been burning for the past few days. The shed was full of space, so many bricks were stacked outside the shed, and a piece of animal skin was carefully covered on top to cover it.

"These bricks are still not enough, but we can build the house and burn bricks at the same time. Xiya, you talk to your clan leader and arrange a few strong people to learn how to build the house with me." Cheng Mo said, looking at the bricks.

Xiya nodded happily: "Okay, I'll go back and tell the tribe leader now!"
