In the woods outside the thatched hut.
A furtive figure ran towards the forest.
They stopped under an old tree, barked a few times at the bushes, and soon several orcs emerged from the bushes.
These orcs were covered in scraggly fur and all had protruding underbites and large teeth, making them look fierce and lewd.
The leading orc asked:
"So, what did you see when you went over there? Do you know which tribe those three orcs belong to?"
They were hyena-like beastmen who hunted in the forest.
The orcs of the hyena tribe are not strong, and they hunt in groups, but recently their prey has been disappearing.
After staking out for two days, they discovered that three young lads had stolen their prey.
These three orcs were incredibly powerful; just three of them were enough to take on a whole group of orcs. They were worried that the orcs had powerful tribes backing them, which was why they were so fearless. That's why they sent hyena orcs to track them today.
The hyena-orc, who had been running back with shifty eyes, answered breathlessly:
“I see, I see... They have no tribe, they live in the wild, and no tribe protects them.”
"How many orcs are there in total?" the leading orc asked again.
“There are only a few adult orcs, two females, and several cubs that haven’t grown up yet,” the hyena orc answered truthfully.
Upon hearing this, the other hyena beastmen burst into excited laughter.
"There are even females! Hahaha, it's truly the Beast God's blessing upon our Hyena tribe! Our chief was just worried about the lack of females in the tribe and was planning to use white stones to exchange for females from other tribes!"
"Let's go back and tell the chief this news. Let the chief send people to bring the females back. Then no more orcs will compete with us for our prey, and we can get two more females."
The hyena orcs ran excitedly towards the tribe.
...
Sunrise and sunset.
Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Su Jianyuan and Lang Zhuang dug a deep ditch around their residence, planted pointed bamboo at the bottom, and covered it with a layer of grass and leaves.
The woods were full of dead branches and leaves, making them difficult to spot.
Lin Xia's twisted thread was still tethered in the deep ditch, hidden in the grass. The other end of the thread was connected to a small bamboo tube. Whenever the thread was touched, the bamboo tube would collide and make a crisp, loud "da da da" sound.
Su Jianyuan personally tested it several times to ensure that it was foolproof.
Another exciting event is also happening.
After more than a month of hard work, the log cabin was finally completed.
"Honey, come and see! This is our room. It's spotless, all arranged to your liking." Su Guodong happily pulled Lin Xia to tour the room.
"It's all just a place to stay, what's so interesting about it? As long as we can stay, it's fine." Lin Xia pushed him away, reluctantly following Su Guodong into the room.
The couple lived in the main house. After entering the courtyard gate, they walked straight through the yard to their room.
Seeing the familiar yet unfamiliar furnishings in the room, Lin Xia couldn't help but tear up.
The bed and wardrobe in the room were made of wood, and the whole room was filled with a pleasant woody scent.
Aside from things that didn't exist on this ancient continent, Su Guodong restored almost every detail in the room, except that the furniture was now made of wood, and the floor was also made of wood, all clean and spotless.
There was also a large window next to the bed, without glass; the window was propped up with a stick, giving it a rather antique feel.
Sunlight streamed in, illuminating the entire room and making even the dust particles clearly visible.
"Honey, how is it? Doesn't the room look good?" Su Guodong asked with a grin, as if showing off a treasure.
He and Su Shiwei ordered Su Tang and Lin Xia not to interfere with the construction of the wooden house, also wanting to give the two a surprise.
The family was suddenly transported to this godforsaken place, and the mother and daughter were the most miserable.
The environment here is harsh and the conditions are backward. As a husband and father, Su Guodong's biggest fear is that his wife and children will suffer.
Otherwise, why doesn't he farm whenever he can, and why doesn't he farm secretly?
These past few days he'd been thinking about how to decorate the room to look like his home, and it all paid off.
"You...you did all of this?" Lin Xia asked, her voice choked as she looked around the room.
She knew her husband better than anyone.
This old man never used to do any of these things! His mind was always on farming! He was so busy with housework that he never had time to lift a finger.
"Yes." Su Guodong nodded proudly.
"How could you do this? You don't know how either..." Lin Xia said hoarsely, and punched him.
"Can't I learn? Your husband is a professor, he's very smart!"
Su Guodong suddenly noticed Lin Xia's reddened eyes and immediately became anxious. "Wife, do you not like it? It's okay if you don't like it, I'll change it. Just tell me what you don't like..."
Why are you crying now?
His wife used to be able to chase down anyone who bullied her for three blocks with a kitchen knife, and he had never seen her cry.
Su Guodong looked at the room's decorations with some suspicion.
Was the room I prepared too ugly?
That's not so ugly it's unbearable!
"I love it, I love it so much, my husband, how can you be so good to me?" Lin Xia hugged Su Guodong tightly, moved by his words.
I never expected that this blockhead would finally see the light and become so considerate.
Lin Xia was so moved that she cried.
"Cough cough cough! Wife, I'm dying... I'm going to suffocate..."
Su Guodong's neck was being strangled, his face turned red, and he couldn't breathe.
Lin Xia belatedly realized what was happening and awkwardly let go of his hand.
