The kids are having a lot of fun catching bamboo rats.

Xiao Fu's experience of catching bamboo rats is quite distressing.

On the way back, he asked his older sister:

"Sister, we have nowhere to raise bamboo rats. They can burrow and escape. What should we do?"

"Your eldest brother knows how to build houses, so just have him build a house that bamboo rats can't escape from." As a modern person, Su Tang hardly needs to think.

Xiao Fu was still worried, "But bamboo rats can escape even from wooden houses."

Where can you find a house where bamboo rats can't escape?

Are they raised in caves?

But can bamboo rats survive in a cave...?

"If wood won't work, then let's use stone. But bamboo rats can't burrow into stone houses," Su Tang replied somewhat absentmindedly.

"Can houses be built with stones? Won't they collapse?"

“Even wood can collapse. Did you see your eldest brother’s wooden house collapse?” Su Tang retorted.

Xiao Fu tilted his head and thought about it carefully.

That seems to make sense.

His hope was rekindled, and he skipped and hopped happily home.

The children, tired from playing, slowly followed behind Su Tang, step by step.

Su Tang watched the little ones jumping and hopping on her shadow, then suddenly slapped her head.

Why is she acting so guilty?

This is an ancient continent!

An ancient continent where a female could have multiple partners!

She is now a female with offspring; any other female would already be looking for a second mate.

It's just that I touched it a few times. Even if it's real, it's no big deal in the open ancient times!

Su Tang immediately regained her confidence and strode back to the cabin.

As soon as I got back, I saw Xiao Fu happily carrying a piece of cloth and running towards the cave at the foot of the mountain.

She was filled with emotion.

The cubs are definitely the happiest.

Solving a problem can make me happy for a very long time.

Lin Xia was fiddling with her loom in the yard.

Seeing Su Tang return, Lin Xia asked:

"Tangtang, could you ask Lang Nini if ​​she'd be willing to help me weave cloth?"

"Hu Shen even came to me to exchange for cloth. I think cloth is quite valuable here. Maybe in the future it can be exchanged for more supplies than food."

Cotton fabric is beautiful and soft, cool to wear in summer, and warm to wear next to the skin in winter.

Animal hides have fur, which easily traps dirt and grime, making them very unhygienic in primitive tribes.

Most importantly, animal hides are mostly dark-colored, and light-colored and white hides are rare. Lin Xia discovered that females really like white things.

Su Tang also thought about how the females in the Gray Wolf tribe had been staring at her clothes when she recently visited.

Their family now wears cotton clothes made by their mother.

It's thin and very cool.

The rainy season here is like the summer in Su Tang's memory: very hot, muggy when it rains, and dry when it doesn't.

Even if you sit still, you'll quickly become drenched in sweat.

If we mass-produce cotton cloth, many orcs should be willing to trade with it in the future.

"Sure, I'll go ask Nini in a bit," Su Tang agreed.

She also helps with weaving on a regular basis.

However, the children were too noisy and caused trouble most of the time, so she was kicked out by her mother along with the children.

There's nothing I can do to help.

...

Xiao Fu went to the cave to find Hu Shen.

Nobody's here.

They arrived at the place where the orcs were repairing the irrigation canals.

At a glance, the most eye-catching male among the beastmen was Hu Shen.

Xiao Fu was a little puzzled. While the other beastmen were carrying stones into the irrigation ditch, why was he throwing the stones out of the ditch?

Then other orcs picked them up and threw them down again, and he kept throwing them out...

Xiao Fu: What's going on? What are you doing that I don't understand?

Does doing this make the irrigation canal better and faster?

He ran over and saw that Hu Shen had stopped throwing stones and was standing in the ditch, tall and straight, with one palm on his chest, seemingly lost in thought.

"Brother Hu Shen, are you sick?" Xiao Fu's worried voice interrupted Hu Shen's thoughts.

"I'm not sick, what do you want?" Hu Shen turned around and saw that it was his female brother. He spoke gently.

Xiao Fu remembered his business and handed over the cloth in his hand.

“Brother Hu Shen, this is the cloth my mother asked me to deliver. She said that this is all we have now, and we will give you more when we have more.”

Hu Shen wanted to say no.

In a daze, I thought I had already spoken, so I didn't say anything.

Seeing the cloth, he wiped his hands on his body, then remembered that the animal skin on his body seemed even dirtier than his hands, so he went to the bucket next to him to scoop water to wash his hands.

It was water sent by Su Shiwei.

They must wash their hands after finishing their work.

In fact, the cloth was wrapped in animal skins, so even if you didn't wash your hands, the cloth wouldn't get dirty.

Hu Shen felt that the white cloth should be clean, as if it would get dirty even through animal skin.

Thank you.

Taking the cloth, Hu Shen said with a serious expression.

"You're welcome." Xiao Fu grinned and quickly slipped away.

I feel like Brother Hu Shen is acting a bit strange today.

He turned around and saw that Hu Shen had returned to his previous state, holding the cloth in one hand and placing the other on his heart, lost in thought...

Xiao Fu: Horrible! Brother Hu Shen, have you been bewitched by a demon?

"Brother~"

Xiao Fu went to Su Shiwei to ask about building a house.

Su Shiwei was directing the orcs to repair the irrigation canal on the other side.

Seeing Xiao Fu approach, Su Shiwei took a break from her busy work and asked, "Xiao Fu, what's wrong?"

"Brother, sister said that houses can be built with stones, is that true?"
