A guide to surviving in the world of beasts

During the period of building the wall, the bricks and tiles fired in the kiln had already been fired. The tribe would definitely need them again in the future, so the second batch of firing began.

The materials for building the house have been prepared. The hunting and gathering tasks in the tribe were temporarily handed over to Hu Lie, and Hu Yi brought some tribesmen to start building the house.

Since the tribesmen saw the completed wall, they were full of curiosity about the house that was about to be built. They also wanted to know what the house would look like after it was built. Would it be better than the cave where they had lived for generations? Everyone's enthusiasm for building the house was unprecedentedly high.

Everyone rushed to sign up, wanting to be part of the team building the house, but it was obvious that since no one had built a house before, it was impossible to build too many at the beginning, so not too many people were needed.

So those who were chosen to build the house together were naturally excited, while those who were not chosen were beating their chests and stamping their feet, and were dejected.

Hushan was one of the ones who was not selected. He was very dissatisfied and came to Huyi to plead for him, hoping that he could change his mind and allow him to build the house together.

"Chief, I also want to help build the house. I am smart and strong. Just give me any task and I can complete it well. Please give me a chance." Hushan said earnestly to Huyi who was digging the foundation.

Without even thinking about his so-called advantages, as long as one is an orc, he basically possesses them. Hu Yi was unmoved. He was not the only one who came to find him these days and needed people to build houses.

Seeing that Hu Yi ignored him, Hu Shan did not get discouraged. He changed direction and continued to talk about his advantages, "Besides, I can run fast and eat little. Besides, we have been friends for so many years. You can't be so heartless."

The other people who were working were simply unable to bear to watch. Except for the wolf people who joined later, everyone had known Hu Yi for many years. Although Hu Yi was not born in the Tiger tribe, he also grew up in the tribe. Who had known whom less time? Anyway, Hu Shan was not the first one to say this. Hu Yi did not stay, so they were not in a hurry. Let's see what else he can say.

Hu Yi finally stopped what he was doing, looked up at him, and said calmly, "It seems that letting you take turns hunting is just too much for you. Since you are so energetic, take the tribesmen to hunt in a farther place tomorrow and see if you can find any new plants, or the coal, iron and other ores that Su Ling mentioned before."

"Ah? Chief, I meant that I also wanted to come and build a house, why did you say you were going hunting?"

"If you want to build a house, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. There are enough people now, or you can ask if there is anyone here who wants to trade with you."

After Hu Yi finished speaking, Hu Shan looked at the people who were building the house. The crowd who were originally watching the excitement immediately buried their heads in their work and no one paid any attention to him.

What a joke! They also want to build the first house in the tribe together so that people will envy them when they tell others about it. Haven't you seen those tribesmen who built the wall before? They are still showing off when chatting with others. They built the wall with great effort, so no one would be stupid enough to trade with them.

"You guys, hum."

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Hushan knew that this approach was not feasible. Forget it, if he had known it would be like this, he would go hunting. If he could find some new plants or minerals, it would be enough for him to show off to these guys.

Hu Yi continued working after he finished speaking and ignored him. It was just a small task and it was impossible for everyone to come and build the house. They could only take turns to build the houses later when other houses were built.

Here, in addition to cooking for everyone, Su Ling also had to discuss with Hu Luo what materials to use to replace steel bars and nails. After discussion, they finally decided to continue using the bones of the iron-bone beast that were used to polish arrowheads. In addition, Hu Luo was proficient in using mortise and tenon structures, so building the roof was not a big problem.

Su Ling is also very busy every day. Fortunately, Wei helps her with cooking, otherwise she would be too busy to handle it.

With experience in building walls, the orcs were very good at hands-on work and the construction progress was very fast. If Su Ling had not gone to check on them that day and went back the next day, he would have been amazed at their progress.

Whenever I look at that open flat land, I see the house slowly taking shape step by step from nothing.

If she didn't know that this was the orc world and there couldn't be any construction machines, she would have suspected whether machines were used in the construction.

The day before, it seemed that only the foundation had been dug, but when I went to check the next day, I didn't expect that the wall had been built for half a day. A few days later, the wall of the house was already built. The speed was really fast.

After all the walls of the house were built, it was time to cover the roof. Considering external factors, Su Ling finally chose a sloping roof.

There are many reasons for choosing a sloping roof. The first is drainage performance: the inclination angle of the sloping roof helps rainwater slide down quickly, effectively avoiding water accumulation and reducing roof leakage problems that may be caused by water accumulation.

Second, insulation and ventilation: The design of the sloping roof can provide better insulation and reduce indoor temperature fluctuations. At the same time, its unique structure is also conducive to indoor ventilation, maintaining air circulation and creating a comfortable living environment.

Third visual appeal: The smooth lines of the pitched roof can add a traditional and vintage aesthetic to the building.

I also hope that this traditional architectural aesthetic of the Blue Planet can be passed down in the orc world.

Fourth, strong adaptability: The sloping roof design can adapt to different climatic conditions, whether it is hot summer or wet and cold winter, it can provide a good living environment.

So, no matter from which aspect, Su Ling felt that building a house with a sloping roof was a good decision. Others didn’t know what a sloping roof was or a flat roof, but as long as Su Ling made the decision, they would do it.

The orcs' hands-on ability is truly remarkable. It took a total of forty-three days from the start of construction to the completion of the house. I watched the orcs put on the last tile.

Su Ling looked at the house in front of her, which was much better than she had imagined. Her eyes were a little blurry. She and Hu Yi's house was finally built, and they no longer had to live in a cave.

From a distance, the exterior wall is painted white with lime and matched with small green tiles, which looks simple, elegant and beautiful.

The final layout of the house was designed to be a one-story courtyard house, with a main hall in the middle of the main building and a large living room on the east side, where tribesmen could hold meetings, which was much better than in a dim cave or an open square. On the west side was the master bedroom with a bathroom and cloakroom.

The front part of the east wing can be a bedroom suite with a bathroom, and if new members are added to the family in the future, they can move in directly. The west wing at the back is the guest room, and the side courtyard is used as a kitchen and dining room, with an earthen stove in the kitchen.
