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 217 Winter Miscellanea

Qiao Yu stood on the stage and waited for everyone to quiet down before saying, "Did you see that? Actually, if it was anyone else just now, as long as they had my agility and could dodge Hei's punches, then every extra blow would have consumed some of his strength. So what if he's strong? I could have drained all of his strength just by wasting it like this."

"So, it's not just strength that makes you invincible in a confrontation. As long as you learn the fighting skills, no matter how strong the opponent is, you can defeat him."

The men in the audience were so excited by what she said that they couldn't wait to learn it.

"Some people may say, Yu, I am very strong, so do I still need to learn fighting skills?" Qiao Yu said, looking at Hei.

Seeing her look like this, Hei quickly squatted down, as if he wanted to hide his iron tower-like body behind the thin companion in front of him.

His action caused another round of laughter from everyone.

"Think about it, if Hei also learned fighting skills, coupled with his natural supernatural power, wouldn't he become very powerful? Therefore, we learn this to make ourselves stronger and more powerful. Don't think that you don't need to learn just because you are already strong. You must know that there is always someone stronger than the strong. How do you know if there are people in other tribes who are as strong as Hei and have very flexible moves? How do you know that the opponent you meet is not such a person? The more fighting skills you learn, the more likely you are to win the fight with your enemy or prey."

"So, what we need to learn next is not fighting skills, but survival skills. Whether we can survive hunting and hostilities depends on how much we learn."

Everyone had been quite relaxed and happy listening to Qiao Yu's speech earlier, but now, after hearing this, everyone became serious and responded loudly, "Yes."

Next, Qiao Yu taught everyone a set of boxing techniques.

In her previous life, when she was young, her parents made her learn some martial arts so that she could save her life at the critical moment if she encountered danger or was kidnapped.

In the apocalypse, before she awakened her lightning powers, even though she had strength powers, she couldn't survive without her martial arts skills. She knew her strength powers needed to be paired with strong physical skills, so when she met someone with exceptional martial arts skills, she managed to learn some life-saving techniques from him.

Now, she planned to teach these skills to the tribe members. As for how far they could learn, it all depended on their own ability. After all, the master only led the way, but the practice was up to the individual.

During morning training, she taught the men martial arts; after breakfast, she taught the women and children martial arts for the whole morning before stopping.

Next, Qiao Yu worked as a coach in the tribe, wandering around in the afternoon and teaching cultural classes to everyone in the evening. Although her life was not leisurely, it was much more leisurely than the days when she ran around outside and slept in the open air.

During dinner that day, Shan said to Qiao Yu happily, "Yu, Ming and I finished counting the number of people in the tribe today. We've increased by more than twenty people this year. With so many people getting married now, I'm afraid by this time next year, there will be dozens more, haha."

Shan and Ming had been busy counting people for a while. Having finally mastered addition and subtraction above 100, adding up the numbers on the household registration plaques, then counting each team's personnel, and then comparing the two numbers—they had to come up with identical numbers—was a truly challenging task. What Qiao Yu could have done in just ten minutes took these two a full ten days.

Anyway, there is nothing wrong with the tribe now, so Qiao Yu just lets them do whatever they want.

Shan was in charge of the warehouse. Ever since he learned to write and do arithmetic, Qiao Yu had required him to keep a record of the quantities of various items entering and leaving the warehouse, as well as the remaining quantities. Ming Ze had to calculate everyone's workload and the number of items distributed daily, doing all the statistics and calculations. They always had to improve their calculation skills.

In the early days of the tribe, no one knew anything, and Qiao Yu took on all the responsibilities, working tirelessly. Now that everyone has developed a certain level of knowledge and learned how to manage under her guidance, it's time for her to slowly let go.

"Only twenty more?" Shanquan looked up in surprise. "This year, everyone in our tribe has enough to eat. We even have kangs to sleep on during the snowy season and barbecues over charcoal fires. We hunt with traps, snares, spears, and bows, but there haven't been many deaths. How come there's only been twenty more?"

Qiao Yu ate calmly and said, "The three tribes have just merged, and everyone is busy all day, so there are not many marriages. Although there are not many deaths, there are not many births either. This is normal."

"Right, right." Shan looked at his daughter with admiration.

Even though Qiao Yu was always busy outside and busy with various things when he returned to the tribe, leaving the management of the tribe to these people, Qiao Yu knew everything about the tribe, no matter what happened, big or small.

Thinking back to the difficult times of the Valley Tribe and then looking at the current prosperity of the Dragon Tribe, Shan always felt a sense of emotion, and felt that the gap between him and Qiao Yu was too great. Fortunately, they were father and daughter, and he felt nothing but pride.

"Yu." A woman's voice called from the gate of the courtyard.

Qiao Yu recognized Shuiyue's voice and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I have something to tell you, but don't worry, let's talk after you finish your meal."

"Okay, you go wait for me there, I'll come up after I finish eating." Qiao Yu said.

After finishing the soup in the ceramic bowl in a few gulps, Qiao Yu wiped his mouth and said, "I'm going upstairs." He picked up a ceramic pot of boiling water and returned to the leader's building.

Shuiyue did not come in, but waited outside her courtyard gate.

The two of them walked in together. Qiao Yu poured two cups of boiling water into a bamboo tube, pushed one cup to Shuiyue, sat down and asked, "What's the matter?"

Shuiyue was once the daughter of an elder in the Water Tribe, and after experiencing such an experience, she usually gets along well with the women in the tribe, but she also has a certain aloofness to her. She was rescued by Qiao Yu, and she deeply admires his abilities and wants to befriend him. After Qiao Yu returned to the tribe, she frequently came to chat with him.

It was rare for a woman of the same age to approach him, and Qiao Yu welcomed Shuiyue to come and play. After a few visits, the two became friends.

Shuiyue sighed when asked, "That Lu Yan just came to me and said he wanted to marry me."

"Ah?" Qiao Yu paused while drinking water and looked up at Shuiyue.

Seeing her expression was indifferent and no emotion could be seen, Qiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "Congratulations."
