Chapter 164 Sandbag
Over time, the trees planted by the members of the Black Deer tribe during their spare time have now grown into a forest in front of and behind the tribe's wooden buildings.
The sun was blazing at this moment, and the trees next to the wooden buildings constructed by the Black Deer tribe members cast dappled shade.
A group of children were playing with the beanbags that Xu Que had made for them under the shade of a tree!
When the members of the Black Deer Tribe's elder council passed by Xu Que and his group, most of them couldn't help but step forward and praise him: "The mosquito-repellent rope that Boss made really works! Look at me, I wasn't bitten by mosquitoes much last night! Without mosquitoes bothering me, I slept much better at night! Now, when I go logging in the primeval forest with Ha Gang, I feel like I have inexhaustible energy!"
"Indeed! This mosquito repellent rope is incredibly effective! On a normal night, I'd wake up with at least four or five mosquito bites on my arms, body, and head! But look at me today, there's only one red, swollen bump from a mosquito bite! I didn't get bitten by many mosquitoes last night, and the next morning I felt so much better! Compared to nights with mosquito bites, I felt more than twice as energetic! I feel like I have so much energy now!"
"Me too! A few days ago I had a headache and felt dizzy and weak after waking up! I guess it was from mosquito bites! Last night, because I had mosquito repellent rope burning on my door, I didn't see many mosquitoes, and I didn't get bitten much after I went to sleep! So now I don't feel dizzy anymore! It seems that mosquitoes are really harmful!"
The children from the Black Deer tribe who were covered in red mosquito bites on their arms and bodies last time have not had any new bites! Seeing this, Xu Que knew that the mosquito repellent rope was very effective!
Ha Gang and Ping Yao led the Black Deer Tribe's logging team to the primeval forest to continue logging, which would be used to build individual houses for the Black Deer Tribe members.
They have built rows of houses on the basis of the original houses built by Xu Que.
The two saber-toothed tigers that Xu Que used to raise have now grown to be as big and strong as adult saber-toothed tigers deep in the primeval forest!
After they emerged from the tribe's wooden tiger den, many of the very strong members of the Black Deer tribe were terrified upon seeing them, and they all unconsciously took a step back!
Two imposing saber-toothed tigers arrived at Xu Que and Hou's location and pounced on Xu Que, licking his clothes, shoes, hands, and even his head and face.
Even though Xu Que had cared for the saber-toothed tigers since they were cubs, he was not used to being rubbed and licked like that by them!
Xu Que pushed them away and kicked the two enormous creatures twice! The two majestic saber-toothed tigers were kicked to the side by Xu Que.
They came to Hou in joy again, and Hou threw the stone piece in his hand towards them, and said in a restraining voice: "Go! Go and play, don't come over to me! Otherwise I will beat you!"
After she finished speaking, she pushed the wooden bicycle next to her and started pedaling in circles in front of Xu Que and Saber-toothed Tiger.
Ha Gang and Ping Yao led the Black Deer Tribe logging team back from the primeval forest in zebra-drawn carts loaded with timber.
Soon they put the logs into the ground one by one. Ha Gang and Ping Yao took the logging drill from Xu Que and drilled rows of holes in the logs according to the method Xu Que had originally taught them.
After drilling the holes, two or three people work together below while other tribe members stand above and work together to install all the pieces of wood that they are handed up!
In less than half an hour, the members of the Black Deer tribe and Pingyao Hagang and others had assembled a wooden house!
"Hmm! I estimate that the individual rooms for our Black Deer tribe members will be completed in about a month! Everyone will get one! I didn't expect the progress to be so fast!"
Huahe, the deputy chief of the tribe, chimed in, "Now, thousands of people are migrating to our Black Deer tribe from other tribes every day! At this rate, will our tribe never be able to finish building all the houses?"
“I’m really torn about whether to completely refuse to recruit any more new people from other tribes! If our Black Deer tribe stops accepting refugees from other tribes to come and join us, then every member of our tribe will soon have their own wooden house!” Hua said to Hou and the tribal elders around him.
The leader of the Black Deer tribe's elders suddenly remembered that a member from another tribe had made a request to him yesterday.
“These original members who came from other tribes to our Black Deer tribe asked our elders: Could people from the same tribe live in one large room or in the same cave? They are more used to that kind of life!”
Upon hearing what the leader of the Black Deer Tribe elders said, Xu Que had an idea: "In that case, let's not build them individual rooms in advance. Let's just build them one large house with all the bedrooms connected together! This will not only save the builders a lot of trouble, but also make the requesters feel gratified that their requests have been fulfilled! It's a win-win situation!"
"Um! Have you counted the number of people from other tribes? How many are there? We'll build them houses suitable for living together!" Xu Que said to the leader of the Black Deer Tribe's elders.
The leader shook his head: "Our elders haven't actually done the statistics!"
Hua added, "Aside from the original members of our Black Deer tribe, the other tribes have a total population of around ten thousand! I think building a wooden structure that can accommodate ten thousand people is more than enough! They can occupy space in the huge house, and then our builders can fence off land for each tribe. That would be great! I think so!"
When everyone heard Hua's suggestion, almost everyone nodded in agreement, thinking it was a great idea! It would also be suitable for other tribal members in the Black Deer tribe! This would help them unite better and cherish this big family even more.
Xu Que then went with Ha Gang, Pingyao, Hou, Hua, and others to the newly built wooden houses in the tribe to see where there was a suitable place to build wooden houses that could accommodate about 10,000 people at once. Ha Gang suddenly had a bright idea and said to Xu Que and the others, "If we can't find a suitable place, we can build it on the roof of the houses that have already been built! That will save a lot of space! What do you think? It should be perfectly feasible!"
