Qiao Yu led them into the east room: "Father, this is the house you live in. Xiaoquan can live with you, or you can live in the west room. The middle room is the main hall. When people from the tribe come to see you, they can sit there and talk without having to come to the sleeping room."

The two men looked at the four walls, which were made of square, stone-like blocks. A closer look revealed they were made of mud. The roof was made of wood, and thatch covered the wood. There were large windows on either side, allowing them to see outside. Father and son were grinning from ear to ear.

"This is a kang. In winter, you can burn fire underneath and it will be very warm. Now it's spring, there is no need to burn the kang. There is a straw mat on it, you can put animal skins on it and sleep." Qiao Yu said.

Before leaving here, Qiao Yu taught them how to make a kang.

It was still early spring, and not many yams had sprouted near the original tribe yet. Man and his men reclaimed the land Qiao Yu had designated, dug some holes for chestnut seedlings, and then stopped there. While Qiao Yu and his men were at the original tribe to pick up the people, they dug out the kangs in every household.

Now everyone has arrived at the new tribe. Other things have not been prepared yet, even the house has not been built, but the kang for sleeping is ready.

There are three main rooms. Except for the middle room which serves as a living room, there are kangs in the rooms on the east and west sides.

"Where is your house?" After the novelty wore off, Shan turned around and asked.

"It's right up there. Come on, I'll show you there."

After leaving the yard and walking up the road, they saw a house with a round pointed roof, about twice as tall as the one they had just seen, standing at the top of the hill. The house was not only tall, but also large in area.

Qiao Yu's house had no yard, just a bare house standing there. However, the land in front of the house had been cultivated, revealing the yellow-brown soil.

"I'm planning to plant something in the yard, so I asked them to turn the soil." Qiao Yu explained and led them into the gate.

"This is used for tribal meetings." Qiao Yu said.

This house was huge, three or four times the size of the one they had just seen, with several more windows, and it looked empty. Although their house was also empty, Shan and Xiaoquan always felt that this was not a place for people to live.

"Do you live here?" Shan asked.

"No, this is where the tribal management staff hold meetings." Qiao Yu said, "I live upstairs."

As she spoke, she pointed upwards.

Xiaoquan looked up and screamed, "Sister, you live in a tree?"

Qiao Yu: “…”

Her house looks more magnificent than other houses, but it is actually just an empty shell.

She wanted to stand high and see far, to be able to see the whole mountain for hundreds of meters, so she wanted to build a two-story building. The downstairs was the conference hall, and the upstairs was her bedroom, study, bathroom and toilet.

The idea is pretty good, and it's not difficult to implement. The only problem is that there's not enough time.

She couldn't ask everyone to spend their time building a high-rise building for her while her own house was not completed, and the people from the old tribe would move in and have no place to settle, right?

She couldn't do such a thing.

So the second floor of her house is still empty. Only the beams have been laid, and later, when there's room, she'll have to cut some planks and put them up there. It's a moderately large project, and it'll take time to complete.

Xiaoquan didn't know what roof beams were, but when he saw a few large trees straddling the roof, he assumed Qiao Yu was going to live there.

"No, I haven't finished it yet. You will know when it's done." Qiao Yu touched his nose and said.

"So how are you going to sleep?" Shan asked.

"Just wait until I take down some wood from the raft to make a bed." Qiao Yu said nonchalantly.

Shan looked at her and felt a little sour in his heart.

He had participated in trade fairs for so many years and had some understanding of the situations of large tribes such as the Sun Tribe and the God Tribe.

As far as he knew, the leaders of those large tribes lived in the best houses in the tribe, ate the best food, and had slaves to serve them. If they were to become leaders here, they would definitely ask the tribesmen to build their own houses first, and then build houses for others.

His silly daughter put others before herself. Other people's houses had already built kangs, but she herself had no place to sleep.

Shan felt complicated. He didn't know whether he should be proud of his daughter or think she was stupid.

"Alright, go back to the yard and rest for a while. I'll go get people to plant some yams, bamboo, and chestnuts," Qiao Yu said. "And then I'll check on the placement of the livestock."

Because of the arrival of her family, she had just given the advance team time to show their families around and settle in. Now, with only an hour or two left before dark, she had to quickly plant the plants she had brought.

"Go and get busy." Shan said quickly, helping his son out the door and back to his own yard.

Qiao Yu left the yard and walked down a dozen steps to reach Manhe Liushui's house. Their houses were located on both sides of the road.

Qiao Yu shouted, and the two of them ran out, blowing bamboo whistles all the way down.

After a while, the sound of bamboo whistles was heard everywhere.

When Qiao Yu walked to the open space below the residential area, the men in the tribe also came out of their houses and gathered here.

Each team lined up and counted, and the team leader then reported to Man that they were all present. Man ran to Qiao Yu and said, "Yu, everyone is here."

Qiao Yu nodded with satisfaction.

Over the past two months, she had not only led everyone in building this new home, but had also taken the opportunity to train them. Every morning, they would form up and assemble for drill. Initially, they were slow and bewildered, but later, they moved swiftly, formed neatly, and counted accurately. Finally, the training had reached a level that satisfied Qiao Yu.

"Very good. I'm very satisfied with your responsiveness and the speed with which you assembled. Remember, you are not ordinary people of the tribe, but an elite force. You are warriors ready to set out to fight the enemy at any time. Even if your loved ones have just arrived, they need your comfort and care. Once the order to assemble was given, everyone still came out at the first opportunity and assembled here in a timely manner. This is very good."

Qiao Yu would scold people when they did something wrong and praise them when they did something good, but the praise was not constant.

Hearing her affirmation, everyone was happy, and some people couldn't help but glance at the crowd out of the corner of their eyes.

At the sound of the bamboo whistle, the men, whether they were talking or putting things away, all ran out as if they had heard something. The women and children who had just arrived at the tribe were all startled, not knowing what had happened, so they all ran out after them.

At this time, the open space was full of people, and Qiao Yu's words just now were also heard by the onlookers.
