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

In just seven days, they had used up all the iron trees, so Cheng Mo had to start building brick walls. Everyone had experience in bricklaying, after all, the kang was built bit by bit by everyone. Everyone cooperated very well, and built the basic exterior of a house within a day.

After Cheng Mo installed the door and window frames, a mud house was built. Cheng Mo was afraid that the built frame was not strong enough, so he asked the orcs from the Rhino Horn Tribe to do an impact test. The orcs from the Rhino Horn Tribe were famous for their strength. Fortunately, after the inspection by the orcs from the Rhino Horn Tribe, there was no need to worry about the strength of the house frame.

Xiong Bo rushed over to see the completed frame as soon as he heard it. He walked around the rough-finished house and looked at the remaining doors and windows in confusion: "Cheng Mo, this, this is the house? Why does it have so many holes? Will it be cold?"

Cheng Mo smiled and said, "This is the reserved door and window. After the building is completed, it will be blocked with wood. Look." Cheng Mo turned the book in his hand to the page with the picture, pointed to the house above and said, "I plan to use wood instead of animal skin. The windows are left for ventilation and lighting."

Xiong Bai said "oh", although he didn't quite understand what he said, he believed in Cheng Mo's decision. Xiong Bai could be said to be Cheng Mo's biggest fan besides Ban Mu, and a brainless one at that.

"By the way, High Priest, haven't Chief Yan and his men come back yet?" Cheng Mo asked worriedly. He was afraid that the people of the Salt Lake Tribe would encounter wandering orcs on the road again. Although there were orcs from the Rhino Horn Tribe following them this time, he was still worried.

"According to the date, they should be back soon. Old man Yan Hai said that he might bring some people from other small tribes to join us by then. It might take longer." Yes, this time they went to the trading day not only to exchange things, but more importantly to attract some small tribes to join them, as they are still too short of manpower.

The two chatted briefly and then parted ways. Xiongbai had to go back to take care of the children. There was a long winter this year and he had nothing to do. Several females in the tribe were actually pregnant. He was extremely happy every day.

Cheng Mo and Ban Mu didn't go that far, they didn't even kiss, they were so innocent. Firstly, it was inconvenient for them to do that as a family of three. Secondly, Cheng Mo planned to wait until the city was built and they had their own house before marrying Ban Mu and having their wedding night. After all, he was a very conservative guy (? ???w??? ?).

Ten days later, Cheng Mo was applying glue to the rough house when he heard a rumbling sound behind him. The other orcs surrounded him vigilantly. They stood beside Cheng Mo, who held onto the wall in panic and asked, "What happened?"

Suddenly, the sound of elephants was heard in the distance. Cheng Mo saw a group of birds and beasts flying in the forest. Trees kept falling down, and judging from the direction, it should be coming from their side.

The orcs immediately pulled Cheng Mo and wanted to run away. Not knowing whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, they decided to hide first.

Before Cheng Mo was pulled away, he heard a familiar voice behind him: "Master Cheng Mo, we are back!"

When Cheng Mo turned around, he found that it was Yan Hai. Behind him was a group of mammoths coming back. The elephants were carrying a lot of processed iron trees and walking slowly towards him.

"Patriarch Yan?" Cheng Mo exclaimed in surprise.

Yan Hai trotted all the way to Cheng Mo, and the elephants behind him followed slowly. Yan Hai said happily: "Master Cheng Mo, we are back. I also brought back the tribe that provided us with the iron tree. The chief of their tribe said that he wanted to join us and build the city together."

After that, a huge mammoth turned into a human form and walked over. He looked at Cheng Mo curiously. Yan Hai introduced: "Master Cheng Mo, this is Xiangshan of the Longbi Tribe. Xiangshan, this is the Master Cheng Mo who proposed the city construction."

Xiangshan nodded to Cheng Mo. When they were in Kataya, Yan Hai came to ask them for iron trees. He was very curious why he wanted this. Iron trees were a specialty of their Long Nose Tribe. Because they were too hard, no tribe liked them, so they rarely brought iron trees over. Yan Hai asked for a lot of iron trees as soon as he came. He asked out of curiosity, and Yan Hai said that they were building a city and needed a lot of iron trees.

Xiangshan asked what a city was, and Yan Hai began to talk excitedly about the function and scale of the city. After listening to Yan Hai's explanation, he also became interested in the city, but he was more interested in the person who proposed the construction of the city. Yan Hai also mysteriously pulled him aside and told him how magical and great this female named Cheng Mo was, and invited them to join the construction of the city.

Because of the wildfire last year, the Longbi tribe had less water sources in their settlement, and they were worrying about where to move. Yan Hai happened to invite them to live in the city, so he agreed immediately. It would benefit them anyway.

Before leaving, they packed up all the iron trees in the tribe. Because of this, it took them longer than planned to return. Seeing the strange buildings on the open space, Yan Hai became curious. He went into the unfinished house to take a look. Is this building with air leaks on all sides a house?

Cheng Mo first expressed his friendly welcome to the Longbi Tribe. When he saw the iron trees they brought, Cheng Mo was overjoyed. With so many iron trees, he could build more houses.

Seeing that there was no danger, the orcs went back to building the brick wall. Xiangshan became even more curious about their actions. He pointed at the bricks and asked, "What are these? Why are you stacking them up?"

Cheng Mo explained: "These are the bricks we fired. The brick walls built with gum are very strong and can protect the orcs living inside."

Xiangshan looked at the orcs' actions curiously. He was about to ask what yesterday was, but Yan Hai saw that it was a little late, so he asked the orcs of the Long Nose Tribe to put down the iron tree and then took them to see the fierce cypress. At that time, they would have to discuss the issues of accommodation and food distribution in detail.

Xiangshan followed Yan Hai, but he left his people here to help. Cheng Mo looked at the tall orcs in front of him with some annoyance. These new orcs had not received any training. Bricklaying looked simple, but they did not have much gum now, so each orc had a steady hand when laying bricks, and the gum used for bricklaying was just right. He did not dare to let the orcs from the Long Nose Tribe who were experiencing bricklaying for the first time to do this, so he might as well let them follow the people from the Rhino Horn Tribe to make bricks.

The orcs from the Long Nose Tribe, who didn't know what to do, followed Cheng Mo to the brick kiln factory. They were shocked to see the orcs from the Rhino Horn Tribe going in and out of the brick kiln carrying things.

Xiya was very happy to see Cheng Mo bringing people here. He ran over and said, "Master Cheng Mo, you are here! We have made a lot of bricks these days, but it is too troublesome to transport them. I see that the Salt Lake Tribe seems to have returned. Can you lend us the cart first?"

Cheng Mo and his team now have only two carts. One was taken away by the Salt Lake Tribe to exchange for salt, and the other was built later and is used to transport bricks. Currently, the cart is made by Xiongtai alone, and it takes a long time to manufacture a cart, so it is impossible to mass-produce it. These two carts are often borrowed by people in the tribe.

Cheng Mo thought about it and thought that the tribe didn't need the carts recently, so he could just leave them here to transport bricks. He nodded and introduced the orcs from the Long Nose Tribe standing behind him to Xiya: "Xiya, they are from the Long Nose Tribe. They are new here today. Why don't you teach them how to make bricks first?"

Xiya nodded. There was no technical knowledge involved in their job. All they had to do was keep an eye on the fire. They would be able to train these newcomers within a day.
