Xiao Fu asked with a look of eager anticipation.

“It’s true.” Su Shiwei nodded, then heard Xiao Fu continue to ask.

"Can we build it now? I can go dig for stones and do other work. I want to build a stone house to raise bamboo rats, is that okay?"

Xiao Fu's eyes are sharp, wolf-like eyes. Unlike the timid and inferior he was when we first met, his eyes are now bright, innocent, yet confident and full of vitality.

"Okay." Su Shiwei nodded, his eyes filled with affection.

He already considers this little wolf cub to be his own younger brother.

Just like a younger sister, a younger brother needs to be pampered.

After all, this younger brother was much more well-behaved than Su Jianyuan. He never caused trouble by messing around with chickens or dogs, and he was very sensible, helping with chores at home every day.

In ancient times, people built stone houses mostly using yellow mud and lime powder.

There's no lime powder here, so we mix yellow mud with straw and other materials. Although it's not as strong as cement, it can still be used as a substitute.

It just requires more manpower, since digging rocks is much harder than cutting down trees.

This was partly the reason why Su Shiwei initially chose to build a wooden house instead of a stone house.

Upon hearing Su Shiwei say it was okay, Xiao Fu was overjoyed.

Just then.

A loud shout came from the nearby ditch.

"Why is this stone different from the others? Why is it white? Who dug it up?"

The two looked back and saw a large number of orcs gathered by the canal.

Upon hearing the word "white stone," Su Shiwei paused for a moment.

He strode over and walked to the middle of the orcs.

Then they saw an orc in the ditch, holding a white stone in his hand and examining it.

"Let me see," Su Shiwei said, holding out her hand.
