As soon as these words were spoken, not only the witch doctor, but also the tribesmen in the tribe were all curious and looked at her with full expectation.
Ji Nuan smiled sheepishly: "The materials are not ready yet, so we can't make it until tomorrow. You can come and see it then."
"Ji Nuan, why is there such a large empty space in your house without paving it with green mud bricks?" Ge Xing's voice came from the house on the left. Ji Nuan walked over with the witch doctor grandma.
The open space that Ge Xing mentioned was exactly the place that Ji Nuan had reserved to build a kang. The beastmen outside were sweating profusely as they prepared to smooth the ground with green mud mixed with sticky grass. Once the ground covered with green mud was baked dry, they could start building the kang.
When building the house, Ji Nuan had asked the beastmen to leave space for the exhaust vent of the stove and the inlet vent of the chimney.
The plan was to build a bathroom in another house, but in the end, for convenience, Ji Nuan ended up partitioning off a small room at the back of the living room and asked the orcs to make a bathtub out of green mud.
The cold season is here, and there is hot water boiling on the stove every day, so you can take a hot bath at any time, and you can also soak in the bath comfortably, which is simply wonderful.
After visiting Ji Nuan's house, the orcs left with envy. Needless to say, the topic of today is how to own such a beautiful and sturdy house.
After the house was built, Ji Nuan finally felt relieved and thought about the migration of the tribe again.
The witch doctor grandma, uncle Ge Xing and the old beastmen in the tribe all have one concern: the decreasing number of prey in the forest.
There are fewer and fewer prey in the forest now. Apart from large tribes like theirs, many small tribes rely on collecting wild fruits and vegetables to survive.
"Nuannuan!" Xiu Yan's voice came from outside the cave, cold but with a hint of tenderness.
Ji Nuan came back to her senses, opened the animal skin curtain and walked out.
The sun was peeking out from the side of the mountain, emitting its last bit of residual heat. The orange light fell on the usually stern silver wolf orcs, instantly softening the space and calming Ji Nuan's restless mood.
“Take a look?” The tall beastman took down the basket on his back and handed it to Ji Nuan. There was a hint of expectation in his deep and cold eyes.
Ji Nuan looked at Xiu Yan with some curiosity. So mysterious? What?
Lifting the big leaves on the back basket, a nest of furry long-eared rabbits entered Ji Nuan's eyes. The little rabbits huddled together, snuggling under the rabbit mother, their little noses moving from time to time, looking very adorable.
Ji Nuan reached out and picked one up, rubbing it against her cheek. It was soft and very comfortable.
The big cat pupils were full of love, and he looked at the tall beastman in front of him with a smile: "Brother Xiu Yan, is this for me?"
The silver wolf orc nodded: "Didn't you say that we should raise some small animals with gentle personalities? This long-eared beast is not aggressive and grows fast. We can kill it and eat its meat after a while."
(Rabbits are so cute, why do we have to eat rabbits? Oh my!)
Ji Nuan:...
So you gave me a cute little rabbit just to raise it to eat meat???
“Thank you, Brother Xiu Yan. I’ll put them in the new house, otherwise the long-eared rabbits will dig a hole and run away.” Ji Nuan put the shivering little rabbit in her hand back into the frame.
