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

After treating Gua Yan's wounds, Cheng Mo picked up the still sobbing Cheng Lingqu and walked out of the cave, and the others followed him out.

"High Priest, how is the construction in the city going?" Cheng Mo walked over to the tree and sat down, patting Cheng Lingqu's back soothingly. Cheng Lingqu wiped her tears and lay quietly on Cheng Mo's shoulder.

"The city wall has been built, but the moat you mentioned has not been dug yet." Jiubai took out the city construction plan and pointed to the location of the moat.

"The moat hasn't been dug yet? Have you encountered any difficulties?" Cheng Mo turned and asked Xifa, who was in charge of the moat.

"Because every household has land now, we thought of digging several channels into the moat to make it more convenient for everyone to get water. However, because we had to dig more channels, the progress of the moat was delayed." Xifa said in annoyance. If he had known earlier, he would not have dug other channels and would have focused on the moat first.

Cheng Mo asked in confusion: "You can dig these canals at the same time. Did you dig the canals first and then the moat?"

Xifa nodded: "Yes, because we need to dig more rivers. If we dig too much, the water level of the moat will not be enough. If we dig too little, it will be inconvenient for everyone to get water. So we thought of digging the river in the city first, and then digging the moat."

Cheng Mo nodded. Xifa's starting point was good. He had forgotten this problem at the beginning. But how to solve the urban water problem? Dig a well? But they didn't have the right tools. Even the materials for filtering water were ordinary sand and carbon! So what could be done?

Cheng Mo couldn’t think of any good solution for the time being, but their current residence was no longer safe, so they had to move into the city as soon as possible. It would be safer in the city with the protection of city walls.

"Chief Xifa, you dig the moat first. I will find a way to solve the water problem in the city. We will all move into the city tomorrow." After Cheng Mo finished speaking, he stood up and handed Cheng Lingqu to Ban Mu. The leaders of the four tribes called on their people to go back and pack up their things and move tomorrow morning.

Cheng Mo went in first to check on Gua Yan's condition. He was still unconscious, but the bleeding from his wound had stopped. Cheng Mo put a few layers of dead leaves and animal skins in the bamboo basket, and then carefully put Gua Yan in it. Even after being moved like this, Gua Yan still did not wake up. Cheng Mo carried the bamboo basket containing Gua Yan back to their cave.

Cheng Lingqu lay beside the bamboo basket and refused to leave. From time to time, he looked back at Cheng Mo and asked, "Dad, will Xiaobai be okay?"

Cheng Mo sighed and touched Cheng Lingqu's head without answering. He didn't know either. It just depended on whether he could hold on tonight. In order to save him, Cheng Mo even used the most precious ginseng he had picked.

Cheng Mo was afraid that Gua Yan would have a fever at night, so she stayed by his side all the time. Ban Mu packed up the things overnight. Fortunately, Gua Yan had a good physique and only had a slight fever at night, which went away after a warm bath for a while.

Early the next morning, the people in the cave started moving. The orcs carried a lot of things and rushed towards the city. The females followed behind with their cubs. The long team walked quietly.

There were wounded people on Cheng Mo's side, so it was inconvenient to move things. After the orcs from other tribes finished moving their own things, they ran over to help them move.

Cheng Mo protected Cheng Lingqu, who was holding the bamboo basket containing Gua Yan. Ban Mu transformed into a beast and flew in the air. They tried to get to their new home as quickly as possible.

It took everyone a whole morning to move all their belongings. The Long Nose Tribe had packed up their belongings early. They had started moving things here a long time ago, and now they were the fastest movers. After they finished moving, they could help the orcs from other tribes move their belongings.

In the afternoon, everyone went out hunting. The Rhino Horn Tribe dug a moat with the help of the Long Nose Tribe. Cheng Mo asked Ban Mu to stay at home to look after Cheng Lingqu and Gua Yan, and walked to the moat alone.

Taking into account the terrifying power of the orcs, Cheng Mo asked Xiong Bai to build two layers of high city walls. The inner layer was made of bricks, and the orcs could climb to this layer to stand guard. The outer layer was made of stones moved from the iron smelter. The large and hard stones were glued together with glue, and even the orcs from the Long Nose Tribe would find it difficult to break through them easily.

Cheng Mo walked up the steps of the city wall. There were no orcs on guard yet, but haystacks had been placed on each parapet for the guards to rest. Cheng Mo continued to walk forward. Outside, the orcs from the Rhino Horn Tribe and the Long Nose Tribe were working together to dig a moat. Inside the city were female orcs running around. They walked to the moat with bamboo baskets and greeted the orcs. An orc escorted them to the river to wash vegetables.

Cheng Mo looked at the canals that had been dug in the city. The winding canals bypassed every household. If these canals were connected, the water level of the moat would drop, and the water level in the city would not be high. Is there any way to increase the amount of water? Or change the idea. The water in the city is mainly used for drinking and irrigation. If it is just for drinking, the water in the canals can meet the needs. Irrigation may not be possible. It seems that we need to find a way to solve the irrigation problem.

Cheng Mo walked back and forth on the city wall thinking about this question. Before he knew it, it was getting dark.

When Cheng Mo came to his senses, he found that Ban Mu was guarding him. Ban Mu had not spoken a word and he didn't know when he came.

"Ban Mu? Why are you here?" Cheng Mo held Ban Mu's hand, which was a little cold. It seemed that he had been here for a long time.

"I just got here, Xiaomo. The high priest said he wants to have dinner together tonight. I have already sent the baby to the high priest. Let's go there together now." Ban Mu said, holding Cheng Mo's hand with his backhand.

"Oh, then let's go." Cheng Mo nodded, and Ban Mu took Cheng Mo's hand and walked down the city wall.

When Cheng Mo and Ban Mu arrived at the central square, a high platform had been set up and a big fire had been lit. Xiong Bo was talking to Kong Fu. When he looked up, he saw Cheng Mo and Ban Mu coming over. He stood up and said with a smile, "I was just about to ask Kong Fu to look for you guys, and you're here!"

Cheng Mo walked over quickly and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, High Priest. I was just thinking about something over there on the city wall. Am I not late?"

Xiong Bo smiled and pulled Cheng Mo's hand and said, "No, you guys came just in time!"

Xiong Bo pulled Cheng Mo to sit on the high platform in the square, and Ban Mu sat down next to Cheng Mo. Cheng Mo looked around and found that Cheng Lingqu was sitting with a bunch of cubs holding a bamboo basket. Next to him was the baby rhino they had rescued. The baby rhino was lying tightly against Cheng Lingqu. It seemed that his hind legs had recovered well, and he would stand up and rub against Cheng Lingqu from time to time.

Then Xiongbai stood up and shouted two sentences: "Thank the Beast God! Reverence for life!"

The orcs below cheered, and then everyone gathered around the fire to eat. There was raw meat and vegetables in front of everyone, and they could roast whatever they wanted to eat. Everyone ate and shouted at the same time, and the four tribes got along very harmoniously.

Cheng Mo leaned on Ban Mu's shoulder, looking at the scene below with a smile. At this moment, it would be even better if there was some wine!
