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

This was the first time for Cheng Mo to build a house. Even though he had made a lot of preparations, he was still a little hesitant. He first determined the orientation of the house, and then asked the orcs to dig the foundation as the book said. Anyway, the first step was to dig the foundation, which was definitely right.

The orcs patted their chests and assured, "Don't worry, Master Cheng Mo, we are good at digging. We guarantee that we can dig fast and deep!"

Cheng Mo did not leave, but stood aside to supervise. The land in early spring was not as hard as in winter. The orcs turned into beasts. Cheng Mo thought: They turned out to be rabbits, no wonder they said they were good at digging holes.

Several big rabbits were digging the foundation together at a very fast speed. Soon, the rabbits could not be seen on the ground. Only fresh soil was seen being pushed out of the hole, and soon a big pit was formed.

Cheng Mo stood at the entrance of the cave and looked inside. He couldn't see what was going on inside. He hurriedly shouted into the cave, "Stop! Stop now! You're digging too deep!"

Several big rabbits jumped out of the hole and stood by, looking at Cheng Mo expectantly. Cheng Mo read in the book that they needed to lay out a line to locate the hole, but they didn't have any tools, so Cheng Mo had to pick up a dead branch from the side and inserted the marked branch into the hole, saying, "It's good enough for you to dig this deep, no need to dig too deep."

A few big rabbits nodded and jumped back into the hole. Cheng Mo used stones to mark the places that needed to be dug on the ground and said, "Dig according to the locations I marked. Don't go beyond the range I marked. Keep digging."

Looking at the orcs digging the soil diligently, Cheng Mo turned to look at the orcs cutting trees on the other side. Even though the land here was open, there were still many trees growing scattered on the land where houses needed to be built. Cheng Mo also arranged for the orcs to cut down these trees.

In addition, some orcs were arranged to collect gum. This time they did not have the cement provided by 079. Cheng Mo planned to use local gum to glue the bricks. The trees that could produce gum grew in the Valley of the Wind.

When Ban Mu and the orcs brought the bricks here, Cheng Mo was backfilling the foundation, which was to pour a mixture of sand and rubber into the excavated foundation.

"Xiao Mo, the brick is back." Ban Mu called out, and Cheng Mo stood up and turned to look at Ban Mu.

Banmu came to Cheng Mo with a cart of bricks. Cheng Mo looked at the foundation that had been poured. Because they didn't have steel bars yet, after asking many people, Cheng Mo learned about a kind of tree in the Orc world whose hardness after drying was comparable to that of steel bars. Cheng Mo called this tree the iron tree.

Now they have built a layer of bricks in the designated pits, and placed iron trees at each point that needs support. For fear that the iron trees would fall down, Cheng Mo not only reinforced the base with gum, but also built a layer of bricks. Although it looks ugly, it is very sturdy!

The next step is to make the frame. Cheng Mo plans to build a two-story house. Taking into account that orcs are generally larger in size, Cheng Mo also makes the house very large, which results in a large amount of iron trees being needed.

Fortunately, Yan Hai said that there was a long-nosed tribe where iron trees were abundant. So when the trading day in Kataya was about to begin, Yan Hai took people to exchange supplies early. This time, what they mainly wanted to exchange was iron trees.

Because this was the first house, Cheng Mo did it very carefully. He even built a thatched hut here and moved here for food and shelter. So after entrusting Cheng Lingqu to the care of the high priest, Ban Mu also moved here to live with Cheng Mo.

night--

Cheng Mo was lying under the belly of the Banmu beast, looking at the house whose frame had been built. He asked anxiously, "Banmu, do you think this house will be fragile? What if it collapses after everyone moves in? What if the house doesn't look good? Will it be unpopular?"

Ban Mu did not answer, but rubbed Cheng Mo's face affectionately. Cheng Mo sighed. He knew that he was a little anxious recently. Many orcs were avoiding him recently, but he had no way to control it. He always wondered what to do if the house did not meet everyone's expectations?

He couldn't help but think that it would be better not to build a house. It was fine for everyone to live in the cave! If the cave was small, they could just expand it. But now they had spent so much time and energy preparing to build a house. It would be a pity to give up before seeing the results. Moreover, many orcs were looking forward to seeing the house before. Cheng Mo was a little entangled.

Cheng Mo took out the city construction book again. In the light of the fire, he looked at the map in the book. Why did he have to build a city in the first place? He made so many preparations just to build a city, a city that could protect more people.

He thought of the ferocious crow that had broken its bones, the Salt Lake Tribe that was attacked by wandering orcs, and the little rhino that was seriously injured and dying... He had originally wanted to protect the people around him and build this city.

Cheng Mo thought back to the civilization construction mission from a long time ago. Although he tried his best to resist 079's temptation to become the one who promoted civilization, wasn't what he was doing now also promoting the construction and exchange of civilization?

"Alas, things are unpredictable..." Cheng Mo put down the book, turned over, buried himself in Ban Mu's fur, and muttered. Ban Mu couldn't understand what Cheng Mo was saying. He just lowered his head and leaned against Cheng Mo's body, then closed his eyes and fell asleep. He still had to go for the trial tomorrow.

Cheng Mo calmed down after feeling the weight on his back. He had to build this city anyway. Even if people didn't like the houses, they could just live in caves. Even if they didn't like being bound by the rules of the city, they could just beat them up. Anyway, Ban Mu was Cheng Mo's strongest backer.

So the next day, the orcs found that Cheng Mo had changed from the seriousness of the previous few days. He supervised the work with a gentle face and asked them from time to time if they were tired or hungry.

The orcs were flattered. You know, Cheng Mo was very serious in the past few days. After laying the foundation, he kept measuring and often walked around here with a vine full of scales. Sometimes when he saw a mistake, he would point to that place and ask seriously who did it?

Fortunately, Cheng Mo was not like the previous few days today. At noon, Cheng Mo cooked for her own lunch and made boiled pork slices. After eating it, everyone felt more energetic to work!
