The Cub Bus

Adding to a house starts with digging the foundation. Jian Mo had written down the entire process in a notebook, so all you had to do was follow the steps in the notebook.

Wu Jiong had already laid a foundation for his house before, but it was just a simple stone foundation. Now it's time to reinforce it with cement.

After Jian Mo explained the requirements in general terms, the people started working.

Whether they were orcs or sub-orcs, everyone's practical skills were far superior to Jian Mo's.

Soon, some orcs reverted to their animal forms and began transporting stones and carrying away soil. Others, having mastered the art of mixing cement, went to mix lime. Still others, skilled enough, helped with bricklaying.

Jian Mo watched from the sidelines, unable to get involved at all.

In just a short while, he saw that the foundation pit had been dug, the septic tank had been dug, the drainage ditch had been dug, and the walls were almost finished. It looked as simple as building with blocks.

If it weren't for the fact that cement takes time to dry, everyone could probably have finished building all the structures in a single day.

In just half a morning, the construction of Jian Mo's house was almost completed. The remaining part wasn't that everyone couldn't finish it, but rather that they had to wait for the cement to dry.

Jian Mo looked at it and asked everyone to go to the second house and help build the building there.

Soon, the people who came to help dispersed and went to each household to lend a hand.

The villagers in the Riverside Tribe had basically prepared all the materials, and the helpers skillfully completed most of the work. All that was left was for the cement to dry, at which point the family would finish up the rest.

The people of the Riverside Tribe originally planned to spend about half a month renovating their village.

Unexpectedly, the work was almost finished in just three days. Even the roads in the tribe were repaved with stones by the various tribes working together. The efficiency was astonishing.

The entire Riverside Tribe has had its walls repainted, a network of drainage ditches built, and stone paths paved, making it look clean and tidy.

In particular, they diverted a large amount of river water to flush the drainage ditches, which also attracted fish, making the area look vibrant and creating a unique scene.

After most of the buildings were completed, everyone stood on the back hill looking at the white walls, stone paths, and drainage ditches, and they were all a little shocked.

Yun Long said to Jian Mo, "The Riverside Tribe has been here for over a thousand years, I never imagined it would become like this."

Wu Jiong glanced at Yun Long.

Yun Long smiled and said, "To be honest, didn't your tribe only change so much after Doctor Jian Mo came?"

Huo Meng, the chieftain of the Red Zheng Tribe, said from the side, "I estimate that not only the Riverside Tribe, but all our tribes will also change."

Li Qing, the chieftain of the Yigu Tribe, said, "It's not 'want,' it's 'already.' Our tribe has long been using the pottery we exchanged with the Riverside Tribe, and we've started drinking hot water. Recently, we've even tried raising Pack-Pack Beast."

Hearing about other things, Jian Mo remained silent, but upon hearing about hot water, he couldn't help but interject, "You really have to drink boiled water. In this season, the water is easily contaminated, and there are many parasites. Getting sick is a real hassle."

In other words, the orcs and sub-orcs have good physical constitutions and can resist most bacteria and viruses. Otherwise, Jian Mo would find it hard to imagine why people in this world can live so long.

Seeing Jian Mo's serious expression, everyone earnestly agreed.

Li Qing looked at the Riverside Tribe below the mountain. "If you planted some more flowers and plants, your village would look even more beautiful."

Jian Mo: "We will plant them. We plan to transplant a batch of Pink-Tube Flower over and plant them when we have some free time."

Yun Long nodded understandingly from the side. "You've changed the method of taming Honey Sparrow, and planting Pink-Tube Flower is perfect for feeding Honey Sparrow."

Wu Jiong glanced at Yun Long again.

Jian Mo said, "Pink-Tube Flower only provide nectar in winter. For the other seasons, we'll need to look at other flowers. We need to plan ahead and decide what to plant."

Yun Long: "Can we come and take a look after it's planted? We can learn from it."

Jian Mo smiled and said, "Then you'll have to ask our Chief Wu Jiong."

Chapter 132 Baby Bus

The village is much cleaner and more beautiful now. Not only are people from other tribes not used to it, but even people from the Riverside Tribe are not used to it.

While everyone was chatting in the open space, they all said that they had lived there their whole lives and never imagined that one day the tribe would become like this.

"Are you getting used to it? Do you prefer your current tribe or your previous one?"

"That's a good question. If I had to say which I like best, it would definitely be the village now. It's so clean and beautiful. Seeing the village every day makes me feel good."

"Me too. No matter how tiring it is to go hunting, I feel so good as soon as I get back to the tribe. It all feels worthwhile."

"If we're talking about beautiful houses, Jian Mo's house is the most beautiful, isn't it?"

Jian Mo nodded and smiled as the people in the conversation mentioned her.

He also really likes the house he lives in now; it's spacious, bright, and fully functional, and it feels a bit like a villa.

It must be said that the existence of lime and cement has been a huge boost to the construction industry.

"My daughter Di Ya and I also need to start collecting materials, and try to build a house similar to Jian Mo's within five years."

"I don't want to wait five years, maybe ten years."

"My family also plans to slowly gather the materials, but there's no rush. Now that we've added a toilet, the house is much more comfortable to live in. It's okay if we can't build a new house for the time being."

Jian Mo took the vegetables to the open space to pick them, and once she had finished, she carried the basket home.

The children playing in the village saw him and rushed up to him. "Jian Mo — Jiujiu and Ying'ao returned?"

Jian Mo smiled and nodded, "You're back. You're playing in the side courtyard."

The little ones' eyes lit up. "Can we go play with Jiujiu and Ying'ao?"

Jian Mo: "Of course, just be careful."

Ying'ao doesn't actively play with the cubs, but it has a good temper.

The little ones can snuggle up to it without it getting angry, unlike Jiujiu, who will push the little ones away with its big butt when it gets angry.

Sometimes when they argue, Jiujiu and the little ones can have a cold war for days on end.

Ying'ao was much calmer. It ignored how the cubs played, and over time, many of the cubs grew fond of Ying'ao.
