Strict Guard

Everyone listened to a brief overview of what Jian Mo was going to do, and then they split up to get to work.

Some of them pulled weeds, some applied fertilizer, and others transformed back into their animal forms to help pull the metal plows, turning the soil in the ditches back up and pressing the fertilizer underneath so that its fertility could be released slowly.

Many orcs, in their enormous beast-like forms, roamed the fields, moving about like giant oxen. Every time Jian Mo looked up, she felt as if she were in a fairy tale.

The fertilizer that Jian Mo and the others applied today was fermented manure from Jiujiu and Ying'ao, which actually smelled a bit bad.

No one complained; everyone just did their job as usual.

Jian Mo felt really embarrassed, so after everyone finished their own work, she simply led everyone to weed, fertilize, and mound soil in the tribe's communal fields.

Later, seeing that there was still time, everyone helped finish the work on other private fields in the tribe.

Jian Mo generously contributed the metal plow and fertilizer for others to use.

With so many people working together, Jian Mo's impossible to afford to provide breakfast – we didn't prepare enough ingredients or cook enough food in the limited time available.

The families like Qing Kuo, who cultivated their own land, also said they wanted to host a meal, so everyone discussed it and decided to invite the entire tribe for a feast.

The ingredients were provided by these families who farmed their own land; they just needed everyone's help.

No matter when, having a meal together is always a fun thing, and the other people in the tribe happily agreed, promising to come back early this evening to prepare for the meal.

Jian Mo and her group had a meal together and then invited several familiar orcs and sub-orcs to go fishing.

Qing Kuo asked, "Do you want so much fish to make fish maw glue or fish balls?"

Jian Mo: "We mainly make fish maw glue. Didn't we say we were going to build up the tribe? The demand for fish maw glue has been quite high lately, so I made it in advance. As for fish balls—we can't finish all the fish meat, and I feel that making it into fish balls is more cost-effective than making it into preserved fish."

Qing Kuo readily agreed, "I also like fish balls, so let's go fishing together."

Ye Luo interjected, "The fish in White Sandbar are really fat and big lately, let's go there to fish. Green Marsh Source has turned into a swamp recently, the fish taste muddy and fishy, and it's easy to get stuck in the swamp, it's not very convenient."

Ye Luo usually pays close attention to collecting information about prey and gathering materials, and has a particularly good understanding of related aspects. As soon as he spoke, everyone responded enthusiastically.

Qing Kuo: "Let's go play in the water over there, it's been so long since I've done that."

Jian Mo's eyes lit up. "I think it's feasible! I also have some newly made swim trunks!"

Jian Mo has a lot of fabric and makes a lot of clothes.

Qing Kuo and the others all knew about swim trunks, so they simply said, "Then we'll bring them too, and we can play separately from the beastmen."

Jian Mo: "Should we bring the little ones along? Let them relax a bit."

Qing Kuo thought for a moment and said, "That works too."

Orcs and sub-orcs are exceptionally good swimmers, far surpassing humans in skill.

Jian Mo was aware of the situation, but still reminded everyone to be careful.

Everyone agreed.

So, almost the entire tribe went out together again to fish and play in the water.

When they went out together, they made a lot of noise, and White Sandbar happened to be on the edge of the Yigu Tribe.

Many people from the Yigu Tribe were also attracted to come over and even helped them fish.

Finally, Jian Mo and his group returned to the tribe with a large quantity of fish, made them into fish balls, and had a feast. While the fish balls were still fresh, they ate most of them.

Everyone gave the fish maw to Jian Mo, and Jian Mo didn't stand on ceremony.

That night, he collected the insect excrement from the Forest Rock Tribe and boiled it into glue again.

Making glue is a meticulous task that requires constant stirring and observation.

While Jian Mo was boiling glue, she got bored, so she found the remaining wooden boards at home and directed Wu Jiong to help scrape them smooth. After smoothing them, she made some adjustments and then tried to piece them together.

Wu Jiong stared at the assembled wooden planks, puzzled. "What's this for?"

Jian Mo: "Boat!"

Wu Jiong: "What is a ship?"

Jian Mo gestured. "Something that can float on water. When it comes out on a big ship, we people can also stay on the water."

Wu Jiong asked, puzzled, "We can float using our beast form, and even in human form, if we're careful, we won't sink."

Jian Mo waved her hands repeatedly. "No, no, no, it's difficult to do anything else when you're floating on the water. It would be much more convenient if we had a boat."

Wu Jiong: "For example?"

Jian Mo: "For example, you can fish from the boat, or if you want to do activities in the middle of the lake, you can use the boat as a floating island and rest on it."

Wu Jiong nodded.

Jian Mo smiled at him, "You still think it's not really necessary, right?"

Wu Jiong thought for a moment, "It might be very necessary for tribes that need to operate on water."

Jian Mo: "Hey, don't just think about whether it's useful or not, think about whether it's fun too. Last time I lay on you and floated on the lake, it was so much fun. When the boat is built, we can lie on it together and float on the lake, that should be really fun too."

Wu Jiong's eyes brightened slightly as he stared at the wooden board. "What you said makes sense."

Chapter 131 Strict Prevention

Before Jian Mo and his group could even launch their boat, Yun Long from the Mengshui Tribe arrived that morning with Bei Ya and Dan Guan.

Bei Ya and Dan Guan came for follow-up examinations every three days, and Jian Mo was mentally prepared.

When the Yun Long, it becomes completely baffling.

Jian Mo invited Yun Long to sit down. "Clan Chief Yun Long, what brings you here?"

Yun Long: "What, you're not welcome?"

Jian Mo had gone out with the caravan and gotten to know him a bit better, so she smiled and said, "Why not? I'm just a little surprised."

Yun Long: "I have something to tell you. You go ahead with your work, we'll talk later."

Indeed, Bei Ya and Dan Guan's illnesses were more important. Jian Mo nodded, asked Yun Long in the house for a while, and took the two to the courtyard to change their dressings.
