Chapter 36

The kang in Chief Bangbo's house was very successful. The moment smoke came out of the chimney, everyone jumped up and cheered.

"Xiao Yu Sui, we succeeded!" He looked at the green smoke in the sky excitedly and shouted to Yu Sui.

"Yes, we don't have to sleep in the cold this winter. Before going to bed, put black stones in the kang stove. It will keep warm all night long. It just needs ventilation, otherwise it's easy to get poisoned."

Just imagining that scene, Yu Sui felt that all the suffering he had endured during this period was worth it.

However, carbon monoxide poisoning must be taken seriously. Every winter, many people in the north are hospitalized due to carbon monoxide poisoning, and severe cases may even be too late to receive treatment.

The dwarves often use black stone, and they understand this.

"We do need to be more careful. The curse of the black stone is very powerful."

A long-bearded dwarf said solemnly.

Curse? Well, they certainly wouldn't understand carbon monoxide either. Whether it's a curse or poisoning, everyone knows to be on guard.

The dwarves' houses were built one after another, and it seemed as if mushrooms were growing in the wilderness, standing up like bamboo shoots after rain.

It is not large in area and looks like a small house where the Hobbits live. It is next to the tattered tents of the Black Rock Tribe, as if it is next to a fairy tale world. They don’t look like they are in the same style, but they are very close.

After the outline of the house was built, Chief Bangbo led the tribesmen to build the kang from house to house.

Yu Sui often jokingly called them the kang squad.

Of course, his house was given special care by the dwarves. The kang in the bedroom was three meters wide and five meters long, which was almost as big as the dwarfs' house.

Actually, it was a bit exaggerated for him and Xiaochu to sleep on the kang. After trying it out, he felt like he had woken up in the CEO's 800-square-meter bed...

He himself didn't want to make them so big, but the dwarves had seen the size of the snow werewolves in their beast form, and they were very worried that after they grew up, they would turn back into beast form while sleeping.

What if the kang was too small and it collapsed later? So they built a big one for them from the beginning.

It takes a lot of effort to burn coal this winter. Yu Sui looked at his super luxurious kang and felt worried.

But being big also has its advantages. It can be made into a low-legged table for use on the kang, where friends can have a meal together. It would be wonderful in winter.

As long as the snow wolves have experienced it once, they will definitely want to have it without his persuasion.

After all, the Snow Wolves were only cold-resistant, not insensible. They were just not susceptible to frostbite, but the winter cold was real.

Especially the cubs. In the original owner's memory, he and Xiaochu had to guard the firewood pile in winter. If it weren't for the protective function of the snow werewolf's fur, they would have been burnt to death long ago.

Even though they lived in mud houses, they did not have tightly sealed windows and doors. In winter, they simply used animal skins to block their doors, and their heads were covered with straw, which would be blown away when the wind was strong, not to mention being freezing cold.

It is also thanks to the strong vitality of the snow wolves that the winter here is extremely cold. If it were the human race under such simple conditions, they would have been wiped out long ago.

The iron windows installed by the dwarf were similar to those in Yu Sui's hometown when he was a child, and the edges of the reserved windows were pasted with cement.

The window frames were made of iron, and the glass inlaid on them was fixed with iron nails. Yu Sui remembered that when he was a child, the windows would rattle when the wind was strong in winter.

Later, when the family had the means, they replaced the windows with thermally-insulated aluminum ones. Unfortunately, the house was deserted after only a few years.

It would be great if there were modern adhesives available. I could glue the gaps in the windows to prevent wind from blowing in and eliminate noise.

He suddenly remembered the can of gum that he had forgotten for a long time. He had collected it in the woods before, and he didn't know whether it had dried up or not.

Yu Sui hurried home and brought the bamboo tube rubber to the construction site.

After being left for a long time, the gum became thicker than when he first collected it. Fortunately, it had not completely dried out, and this texture made it easier to use.

The wooden lid used for sealing was stuck, and Yu Sui had a hard time pulling it off, it was stuck firmly with glue.

He first experimented with his own windows. Uncle Robert had installed the windows for him first, so he used them to try out the glue.

Without a modern glue roller, he could only use a thin wooden stick to stir the glue like syrup and spread it as evenly as possible on the window cracks.

Apply a thin layer first, wait for it to dry, and then apply it repeatedly several times. After drying, the glue will form a transparent strip. I don’t know how cold-resistant it is, but the sealing is good.

The experiment was successful, and Yu Sui handed the bucket of gum to Chief Bangber. He also marked the trees that produced gum, and if it was not enough, he would go to the forest with the adult snow wolves to collect more.

They can collect more before winter when the gum has not hardened, and use it as a backup. If the wind blows the glue strips on the windows to pieces, they can replace them. So of course it is better to have more gum. He has tried it and it can be preserved for a long time.

Looking at his new home which was beginning to take shape, Yu Sui's eyes were filled with warmth. This time it was no longer his lonely home. He had a younger brother, friends, and tribesmen who loved him.

The house that I built brick by brick with my own hands can finally be called home.

The thought of moving into his new home soon filled him with energy.

A large wardrobe is essential. Even though he and Xiaochu only have animal skins now, when he has free time in winter, he can make more clothes with linen and cotton.

Both the dining table and the wooden table on the kang are essential, and a few more chairs should be made so that they can be used to entertain friends.

Looking at the bare and dirty loess kang surface, it has not yet completely dried up and looks not beautiful at all.

When he was a child, the kang cloth in his house was made of a smooth material similar to plastic. There was no such material here, so they could only lay a neat layer of straw mat underneath and then animal skin on top, but it was not easy to clean.

The old fur at home was so uneven after being rubbed by them that it would be better to lay some new fur.

The kang was so big that the gray rabbit fur he had saved could only be used as a cushion.

Then go ask Uncle Heiyan for a pelt. He doesn't need a high-level one, the most important thing is that it's big enough. This requirement is easy to meet. After all, the prey they catch is not the largest, but only bigger.

Recalling the day when he first came here, he was so excited when he shot a pheasant chick, and Yu Sui was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig the ground.

At that time, he actually thought of relying on hunting pheasants to support Xiaochu and himself. In a blink of an eye, their appetites increased sharply, and it would be difficult to support them even if he opened a chicken farm.

"Brother, is this our future home? It's so beautiful, even more beautiful than Uncle Heiyan's house!"

Xiaochu was running around the room, his round eyes shining with excitement.

In his heart, the best house in the tribe belongs to Uncle Heiyan, and now his own house is even more beautiful, and he is so happy that he is bubbling with joy.

"I'm going to make it even better so we don't have to worry about the roof being blown away or leaking!"

Yu Sui looked at him with a smile on his face.

The roof was made of hay, and every time it rained, water would leak into the house. The orcs didn't like their fur getting wet and hated rainy days.

Although their current house does not have modern anti-leakage technology, it is built by the skillful hands of the dwarves, so water will not leak into the house unless there is heavy rain.

"Brother, you are so nice." Xiaochu raised his head and looked at him, his pure eyes full of admiration. His handsome little face was so white and tender that people couldn't help but want to pinch it.

Although it is a little lion, its pupils are black like theirs, not yellow like other golden lions. Maybe this is their fate.

Yu Sui gently stroked Xiao Chu's soft golden hair, and seeing his trusting eyes, his heart softened.

He was embarrassed to say such cheesy words directly, but he actually always thought that he should be the one to thank Xiaochu. In this unknown world, he had just arrived here, and if it weren't for Xiaochu, he would definitely be very confused and would not have been able to adapt so quickly.

He looked into the distance, his eyes gradually becoming determined. This was just the beginning, he had to make sure Xiaochu and the other tribesmen were better off.

Autumn is the harvest season and also the busiest time.

The snow wolves were busy catching up with the tail end of autumn, catching prey and storing meat in the migrating tide of beasts.

The plants gradually turned yellow and withered. Yu Sui took Xiao Chu to collect a lot of seeds, including alfalfa, other wild vegetables and fruits.

The most important thing is the seeds of wild onions. He made a lot of flower pots so that he could plant onions and garlic on the kang in winter so that he would not lack seasonings.

He also saved the seeds of delicious wild fruits, including his favorite orange seeds. He will try planting them next spring to see if they can grow.

When Qi heard that Yu Sui wanted to grow oranges himself, he wanted to move an orange tree to him. However, Yu Sui thought that winter was about to come and the orange tree would not survive if transplanted, so he refused.

In the cellar, various sweet and mellow wild fruits almost occupied half of the first floor.

These were collected for Yu Sui by the tribesmen because he liked them, especially Qi, who put a large basket of oranges in the cellar for him every day.

The entrance to the cellar is in the storage room, so it is convenient to take it when the time comes.

Yu Sui was also very busy. In addition to collecting various seeds, he was busy cleaning up his new home. He was also a clumsy person, so he frowned and struggled with the hay every day, trying to make it smoother and more beautiful.

He could have asked for help from Kalan or the dwarves, but the work in the cafeteria was very busy, and the dwarves were also finishing up their own houses, so he didn't want to cause any trouble.

Maybe because he has done DIY more often since coming here, his skills have improved a little, and the woven straw mat does not look ugly when spread on the drying kang.

Uncle Heiyan gave him a large piece of snow-white fur, which was thick and soft. No one knew what kind of monster it belonged to.

A large piece was cut out according to the size of the kang and placed on top of the straw mat. The edges were slightly longer to cover the protruding grass stems. The empty new home suddenly became bright.

He rolled up part of the animal skin that was near the edge and placed several ceramic flower pots on the straw mat, which were planted with wild onion seeds and garlic cloves.

At this time, he was quite glad that his kang was big enough so that he could easily grow a few pots of vegetables.

There was still a lot of fur left, so he cut a few pieces to make curtains and door curtains, which he could hang up to keep out the wind and keep warm when the weather got cold.

Speaking of which, he now finally has a door, and it is finally not an empty doorway. Otherwise, even if he covered it with animal skins in winter, it would probably not be able to block the wanton cold wind.

Xu, Notting and others came to see his new house often. They were used to rough living and were amazed when they saw such an exquisite house for the first time.

Yu Sui has been busy making tables and chairs these past two days, so he put the wardrobe aside for now if it's not needed urgently.

They would also go up to help, but only a few of them were good at hunting, and they were not as good as Yu Sui in handicrafts. Vanilla could still help, and it would be good if the others didn't cause trouble.

Qi was not good at this, so he silently pulled the cart to bring him coal to the yard, and set up a hide tent on it so that the coal inside could remain dry even if it snowed.

After finishing his work, Yu Sui took out a lot of fruits from the cellar and placed them on the newly made table.

I haven't moved yet, so I can only treat everyone to a fruit feast.

Vanilla took a bite of the juicy berry and her eyes lingered on the smooth gray cement wall with envy.

This house, which seemed simple in Yu Sui's eyes, had a great impact on the Snow Wolf Man.

The smooth and solid cement wall will not fall off with dirt when touched, nor will it sway in the wind like animal skin. The gray wall is neat and beautiful.

She looked up at the roof. Thick horizontal beams were placed in an orderly manner on top, and the tiles on top were neatly laid. Whether viewed from the inside or the outside, the layout was orderly.

The 'kang' as the cubs call it is used for sleeping and is covered with snow-white animal skins, which is both comfortable and beautiful.

At most, they would lay some animal skin on top of their rough straw pile, which was in no way comparable to a kang.

The neatly and orderly interior of the room also caught Vanilla's attention.

This is the impact brought by different civilizations. Even in this world, few people can live in such a clean house.

Apart from the nobles, other commoners even had to sleep with cattle and sheep in their arms in winter, and their lives might be even worse than those of the snow werewolves.

Of course, Yu Sui’s house is by no means comparable to the luxury of the nobles, but it is much better than that of ordinary people.

It was within his expectation that the primitive-living snow werewolves would be amazed.

It is difficult to change the lifestyle of a tribe. Yu Sui did not let Uncle Heiyan force everyone to build new houses. Not only was the tribe's energy limited, but he was also afraid of everyone's resistance.

So he wanted to use this method to change everyone's ideas, adapt to the new living environment, and take the initiative to build houses.

Look, except Vanilla, the eyes of the other people are also full of appreciation. It seems that the Black Rock Tribe will be able to get rid of the tents soon.

They were happily eating fruits, but Ashan, who usually loved to be lazy, was now tied up by the canteen work.

But he had no complaints and worked hard in the cafeteria, which was his comfort zone.

Even Uncle Heiyan complained helplessly that he was obviously a good material for a warrior and many Snow Wolves envied him, but he just loved the cafeteria more.

Yu Sui thought of the snow wolves who were called to work in the cafeteria. They were all very happy when they went there. Ashan was not the only foodie in their tribe.

"Xiao Yu, you're so comfortable here." Xu stretched and sighed.

Notting was still not used to sitting on a chair. He sat cross-legged on the edge of the kang with a piece of fruit in his hand and agreed, "That's right, Xiaoyu is still smart. Qi is really lucky."

Yu Sui was so upset. He wondered if these people could ever get along. Why did they always get dragged together? He had been trying very hard to control himself!

He angrily swallowed half a berry, stuffing his mouth full.

Vanilla glared at Qi with sharp eyes.

"When you move in, I'll help you move." Qi didn't notice her eyes and said to Sui.
