Building Infrastructure in the Primitive Era

After ten years in the apocalypse, Qiao Yu died in battle. When she opened her eyes again, she had transmigrated to primitive society.

Her father, Shan, the tribal chief, was bitten by a tige...

Chapter 172 Two Different People

"Yu, Yu..." When Hui saw Qiao Yu for the first time, his eyes widened and his lips, which had been fluent just now, began to stutter.

Qiao Yu smiled at him, said nothing, and looked at Shi.

Shi was also very smart. He immediately understood what Qiao Yu meant and quickly explained the whole story to Hui.

Hui knew it wasn't a bad thing, so he felt relieved when he heard about Daxue being beaten and scolded.

He told what he knew, which was not much different from what Shi said.

Qiao Yu nodded and asked, "Besides this, do you know who is being bullied and who likes to bully others?"

Gray hesitated.

Shi had already told Qiao Yu about the heavy snow, and since he had come here specifically to inquire about it, it was naturally difficult for him to hide it.

But if he were to speak out about other things, wouldn't that have a bad impact? Who knows how Yu would deal with those people? What if those people knew that it was his gossip who told Yu about it, who knows how they would retaliate against him. Anyway, they didn't bully him, so why should he care?

Qiao Yu said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone that you said it. And I'll ask you to help me find out more about this kind of thing in the future. Don't you want everyone in the tribe to abide by the rules of the tribe and not bully? If one day you were bullied, wouldn't you also want someone to tell me about it instead of keeping it to yourself?"

The last sentence deeply touched Hui.

He said, "Okay, I'll tell you."

Hui loved to pry into gossip since he was young. He would lean over to listen to whoever was talking. As a result, in just one month, he became familiar with the entire residential area. He knew exactly who was in each family, what their relationships were, and what had happened.

And it wasn't just him; his mother also had this hobby. After they'd gotten the gossip, they'd exchange information with each other, filling in the gaps they didn't know.

This guy is a chatterbox and has a big heart. After seeing that Qiao Yu had no ill intentions, he let go and talked for a long time, becoming more and more excited.

But Shi went to work silently and cleaned the huge sheep pen spotlessly.

Hui and Qiao Yu were talking animatedly when they suddenly heard a voice from a distance: "Hui, what are you doing here? Why don't you get back to work? You have so much idle talk that you can't normally have, yet you have to be lazy and come here to talk?"

As Hui was talking, the rain started to fall again. Qiao Yu, seeing the overcast sky, had not put his rain hat and raincoat back yet. Now he put them on again.

Mang watched two people standing there talking from a distance. When he got closer, he saw clearly that one of them was Qiao Yu. He hurriedly called out, "Yu," and then asked, "Why are you here?"

"Oh, I came to see you specifically." Qiao Yu smiled. "Gray came to help Shi, and was about to go back when I stopped him. I asked him if he was doing well in the tribe and if he was getting used to life there. We ended up chatting for a while longer, and it delayed Gray's work. Don't blame him."

When Hui heard her say this, he felt relieved.

"So that's how it is." A smile appeared on Mang's serious face. "Then you guys chat, it's okay."

Before Hui's smile could spread, Mang said, "Let Hui do his job at noon or in the evening."

Gray's smile fell again.

Seeing this, Qiao Yu burst out laughing.

She said to Hui, "Okay, I won't keep you any longer. Go back to work."

Although Hui loved to gossip, he wasn't a big mouth. He was usually very careful with his words. Even when he did gossip, he would only talk about well-known news or harmless things.

At this moment, many people in the tribe had been gossiping about him behind others' backs. He felt uneasy and didn't dare to stay any longer. He agreed and ran away quickly.

Qiao Yu walked over to Mang and said, "I was just about to ask you about the situation at the farm. Let's go and talk while we look around."

The injury on Mang's leg was much lighter than Shan's, and he just walked with a limp. He had no problem moving around the farm or even working.

So he accompanied Qiao Yu to visit the entire breeding area.

After reading it, Qiao Yu went into the office of the breeding area and sat down. He asked him, "Those goats need to eat a lot of grass every day, right? The same goes for the rabbits. With so many animals to feed, how much grass do you need to cut every day to feed them?"

"The biggest problem right now is the farm," Mang said distressedly. "It used to be easy to solve. We recruited a group of people from the Shanyin tribe, and with a little hard work, it was no big deal. But now there are more and more animals, and the grass we cut from the mountains every day is nowhere near enough. So we're really short of manpower here. You said we should recruit people, but if we recruit too many people, once we kill some of the rabbits and goats, they'll be idle again. Then there'll be no work for them, what's going to happen?"

He looked at Qiao Yu and said, "I wanted to ask you if you had any good ideas yesterday. But there were so many things to discuss at the meeting yesterday that I didn't ask. I was just about to look for you today, and here you are."

Seeing Mang now, Qiao Yu's previously depressed mood suddenly became much more relaxed.

She still remembered the first Mang she saw. He was a depressed man with a pale and lifeless face. He spoke very little and only answered one question at a time.

But now Mang's face is full of rosy glow, he looks younger than before, and there is light in his eyes. He talks incessantly and is full of confidence.

He was completely different from the Mang she saw when she first traveled through time.

There were many others like him who had grown in the past six months. These were all people she had trained, subordinates she needed to use. Those who performed poorly were only a minority. This showed that she wasn't such a bad leader.

"Mang, have you ever considered driving these sheep out to graze and then driving them back when the time comes?" Qiao Yu asked.

Rabbits dig holes and escape, so they can't be let out. Deer also seem to need to be kept within a certain range. But in Qiao Yu's opinion, goats can definitely be let out to graze.

"Huh?" Mang was a little stunned by what Qiao Yu said, and then asked the same question as his men, "If we let the sheep out to graze, won't they run away? What if they encounter wild animals?"

"A tamed goat won't run away," Qiao Yu said, recounting his remembered experience with herding. "Pay attention to see if there's a leader in a flock. If there is, the flock will obey it. Sheep are gregarious animals. As long as you keep that leader under control, the others won't run away. Besides, don't we have horses? Let the shepherds ride horses to herd the sheep. The sheep can't outrun the horses, and herding becomes easier for the shepherd."
