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 24: Breeding Cave

"We killed four wild boars." said Qiao Yu.

"Brother, you don't know, Yu is so powerful. She killed all four wild boars with her bone spurs, one at a time. Before we could react, the four wild boars fell down." Shu's voice came from the entrance of the cave.

Qiao Yu: “…”

All right. Anyway, I have to tell the mountain about the wild boar hunt. Instead of her bragging herself, let the tree do it.

"Let uncle tell you that I'm going out to do something." She stood up and said to Shu, "Uncle, someone else is doing the work outside. Your injury hasn't healed completely yet, so don't go out. Rest well here and keep my father company. I'll ask Xiaoquan to help me roast some potatoes."

Shan then noticed the bunch of things in Qiao Yu's hand. Just as he was about to ask, he saw Qiao Yu's figure disappear at the entrance of the cave.

Qiao Yu had only taken a few steps out of the cave when she saw Xiaoquan running towards her in a hurry. She grabbed the animal skin on his shoulder and said, "You have your uncle to accompany your father. Don't rush back. Help me with something."

Koizumi raised his big eyes and looked at Qiao Yu admiringly: "Sister, tell me what you want me to do." His eyes were full of expectation.

Qiao Yu pulled him out until they reached the fire hall, then made him sit down.

She buried all the potatoes in her hand in the ashes, patted Xiaoquan's shoulder and said, "Sit here and help me watch these potatoes. I plan to roast them and feed them to the goats and rabbits. Don't let anyone touch them. I'll come back and get them when I'm done."

"Don't worry, sister. I will stay here and not go anywhere. I won't let anyone touch it." Koizumi promised, patting his chest.

Qiao Yu laughed, rubbed his head, turned and went to the cave in the south to see how Mang and others had cleaned up the cave.

Mang and his companions were busy in a big cave.

Seeing Qiao Yu coming, several people hurriedly greeted him.

"Yu, do you think this will work?" Mang asked nervously.

"Very good." Qiao Yu nodded with a smile.

The cave had obviously been cleaned, with some freshly cut grass piled in the corner. At the entrance to the cave, a door was made of branches.

Of course, due to limited tools and physical limitations, they simply piled the branches together and randomly wrapped them with vines, figuring a goat would be able to push it over. But Mang and the others did their best.

Qiao Yu pointed to the cave entrance at the back and said, "Where does that lead to?" Without waiting for Mang to speak, she walked over.

"It's just a small valley." Mang followed behind.

As Qiao Yu approached, she saw a stream of water flowing down from the top of the cave, reminiscent of a mountain curtain cave. She stepped up from the stream toward a large protruding rock, and before her was a flat area of ​​about 200 square meters, surrounded by trees, vines, and rocks, and covered with green grass.

Qiao Yu was extremely satisfied with this place.

She said, "Don't block the cave at the back with branches. When it's not raining, the goats can come in here to eat leaves and grass and exercise."

Mang said worriedly, "Even if it rains heavily continuously in the summer, the cave here will probably be flooded."

Qiao Yu waved his hand. "It's still autumn, and there's still a long time until next summer. We can discuss this issue then."

She had the idea of ​​migrating the tribe.

Although this valley is nice, it has many hidden dangers.

The first is the problem of flash floods.

Every summer, whenever there is a heavy rain, everyone has to run to the mountains, for fear that they will be drowned in the valley due to flash floods.

The second is safety risks.

Although there was a gate to the valley, the mountain behind it was not very high, nor was there a cliff above it. In previous winters, hungry wild beasts had come in from the mountain behind and killed people.

If their tribe had a conflict with other tribes, and the other tribes came over from the back mountain to attack them, they could easily catch them in the trap by guarding the gate.

However, she had just become the leader and her prestige was not enough, so it was not appropriate to propose the idea of ​​relocating the tribe at this time.

At this time, Mang's eldest son Dali came in leading two goats.

He joined Qiao Yu's hunting team; his younger brother Xiaoli was selected by Cang to join the third hunting team because of his young age.

Seeing the goat, Mang was surprised and asked, "You guys came back with a live goat?"

Dali said proudly: "Not only that, we also killed four wild boars."

"Wild boars? Four? How did you kill them?" Mang asked in surprise.

Qiao Yu didn't want to listen to others bragging about her wild boar hunting experience, so she took the vine from Dali's hand and led the goat inside.

Mang was a very responsible person. Seeing this, he hurried over and said, "I'll do it, I'll do it." Then he ran to the side and picked up some grass, intending to let the goat eat it.

"Wait a minute." Qiao Yu quickly stopped him, "Don't feed them yet. I'll give them some yams later."

"Maoshu?" Mang looked up in confusion.

"Yes." Qiao Yu said, "I picked it from the wild and am roasting it over by the fire. I'll let the goats taste it later to see if it's poisonous."

Mang knew that this was the new food that Qiao Yu had brought back. He looked at the two goats, feeling a little reluctant to part with them, but he didn't say anything.

This matter was decided last night. If we can find new food, it will solve our urgent winter needs. And no matter how carefully we raise goats, we won't be able to add many more in a winter.

Seeing that Mang had settled the goats, Qiao Yu asked him, "Where is the cave we'll choose to raise the rabbits?"

"It's right next to us." Mang quickly stood up and said, "I'll take you there."

After instructing Dali to watch the goat, he led Qiao Yu out of the cave, walked to the right for two or three minutes, and then entered another cave.

This cave was obviously much smaller, and there was no back hole. If it weren't for the torch inside, it would be pitch black even in the daytime.

Mang said, "Yu, you said last night that rabbits can dig holes, but they're timid. So you asked us to find a cave with stone walls and a stone floor. We've looked at all the caves in this row, and this one is the most suitable. It's just a little small and not well ventilated."

Qiao Yu saw that three walls were mostly stone, and the ground was also made up of huge rocks connected together. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "This is great. Rabbits are small, so this cave is more than enough for them."
