"I have something to discuss with you."
Lin Qiu was squeezed by Ling Yun and Song Mu on both sides. She felt helpless and moved back, but the two men squeezed closer again.
"Discuss? No need to discuss. What do you want us to do?"
Ling Yun looked at Lin Qiu from the side, his eyes eager, not like a tiger, but more like a puppy.
"I want to build a house next to our cave with stones and yellow mud, with a stone kang inside. During the cold season, I can burn a fire underneath to heat up the kang, so I won't feel cold. Then I'll build a chimney like this to let the smoke out so it won't choke people."
Lin Qiu took a branch and drew a diagram on the ground.
"House? Stone bed? Chimney?"
Ling Yun looked at the picture, confused.
Song Mu didn't say anything, just watched carefully.
Lin Qiu explained to them, "The cave we live in is airless, hot and humid, making it easy to get sick. It's also too deep, so we don't get any sunlight for long periods of time. This house has two windows at the front and back for ventilation, and can be sealed when not in use. It's more convenient than a cave anyway."
"Won't it collapse? Even caves sometimes collapse. Wouldn't it be dangerous if we piled up the rocks and then went in?"
Ling Yun said.
"Of course not. We can add some egg white to the yellow mud to make it stronger, and use thicker wood to bear the weight. Anyway, it won't collapse easily."
Lin Qiu's eyes sparkled when he talked about this.
Ling Yun looked at Lin Qiu like this, and subconsciously grinned, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Song Mu hated himself for being slow to speak and for being one step behind Ling Yun: "Me too."
"Well, once Song Mu recovers, we can get started!"
Although Lin Qiu had long anticipated that the two of them would definitely agree to all his requests, he was still very happy to receive their affirmation.
Ling Yun said: "I don't need him, I can do it alone!"
After saying that, he glanced at Song Mu.
Sumire: ...
It is summer now and the sun is scorching. Although the work is hard, if we want to build a mud house, we really have to finish it before the rainy season comes.
Lin Qiu thought for a moment and said, "If possible, we can prepare the materials first. How about this, Ling Yun, you prepare some stone tools first, and we will slowly gather the materials."
"What are stone tools?"
Orcs have sharp claws, and can use their claws to do basically anything. It may be clumsy, but it is effective.
But a stone hammer and a pickaxe can make building a house a lot easier.
Lin Qiu only has a junior high school diploma in human society. She doesn't know how to smelt iron. She only knows that you have to mine iron ore first and then smelt it at high temperature. However, these are too far away for her. For now, she can start with stone tools.
Lin Qiu continued to draw a diagram on the ground with a branch: "Let's find a hard stone and grind it into this shape. Ling Yun, can you do it?"
May I?
Ling Yun said: "Of course."
No male would say that he is not good enough in front of his female.
Lin Qiu smiled and nodded at him. Now that she knew Ling Yun liked to be praised, she reached out and touched the top of Ling Yun's head: "I knew you could do it. You are the best."
Ling Yun squinted his eyes and enjoyed Lin Qiu's touch.
Song Mu clenched his fists and whispered, "Xiao Qiu, I can do it too."
Lin Qiu turned around and saw Song Mu looking at her eagerly, her eyelashes trembling slightly like a gently swaying fan.
The two brothers clearly had the same face, but their expressions were completely different. Lin Qiu felt a little sorry to see Song Mu like this, so he lowered his voice and said softly, "But you're not in good health right now."
"It's okay. What you said doesn't require any effort." Song Mu spoke simply, and even when vying for favor, he was calm and gentle.
Lin Qiu hesitated for a moment and redistributed the work: "Then... let Ling Yun go out and find some rocks, and you grind them into this shape in the cave. What do you think?"
"Xiao Qiu, I can do it alone." Ling Yun walked past Lin Qiu, avoided her sight, and showed a ferocious expression to Song Mu.
Song Mu coughed twice.
Lin Qiu felt sorry for him and remembered that he said in the morning that Ling Yun thought he was useless. This was a fatal blow to a male.
"Ling Yun, just listen to me first. Besides stones like this, we have a lot of other materials that you need to collect."
Lin Qiu comforted Ling Yun and went to coax Song Mu: "First, take care of your health. If you get well soon, I will feel comfortable letting you go to the forest to collect materials like Ling Yun. So don't be so stubborn."
The two big tigers were satisfied.
Lin Qiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She had never thought that the two of them were so difficult to deal with before.
When going to bed at night, even though Song Mu was reluctant, he still lay down at the entrance of the cave very consciously and became the gatekeeper tonight.
Ling Yun specially took a bath in the stream at the back of the mountain. He ran around the mountain like a tiger, and his fur was blown very fluffy. Then he got on Lin Qiu's bed and lay up stiffly happily.
Ling Yun was a little nervous.
This was the first time he lay so close to Lin Qiu in human form.
Will Lin Qiu rub against his arms like before?
Ling Yun couldn't help but swallowing.
Lin Qiu's eyes quickly passed over the thing that Ling Yun's lower body was pointing straight up, and he turned around: "Ling, Ling Yun, you should transform into a beast!"
"Ah? Oh..."
Ling Yun's last tone sounded a little aggrieved, but he immediately obediently changed into a beast form and lay on his side beside Lin Qiu.
His beast form was huge. The beast form of an orc was much larger than that of an ordinary wild beast. Ling Yun's physique was the best among his kind. When he turned into a big tiger, he immediately filled Lin Qiu's small bed.
Lin Qiu had no choice but to stick close to Ling Yun.
Um......
Lin Qiu couldn't help but turn around and rub against Ling Yun's chest.
Ling Yun seems to be particularly soft today.
The big tiger's fur had a soothing effect on Lin Qiu. She buried herself in Ling Yun's belly and fell asleep in a moment.
Ling Yun's tiger head rested on the head of Lin Qiu's bed, his nose against her small pillow, sniffing Lin Qiu's scent, and he felt very happy.
His little female is so cute.
Ling Yun was so fascinated that he dreamed one night that Lin Qiu gave birth to a group of white tiger cubs. The cubs were so naughty that they dared to pull his tongue while he was drinking water...
Lin Qiu woke up and saw Ling Yun slightly sticking out a rosy tongue tip, which looked silly and cute. She couldn't help but touch it with her fingers at first. Seeing that Ling Yun didn't react, she pinched it with two fingers.
Ling Yun opened his eyes and saw his little female facing him face to face, her eyes and fingers on his tongue.
Ling Yun's tiger face suddenly turned red. What kind of fun is this?
Being caught by Ling Yun, Lin Qiu quickly retracted his hand: "Are you awake?"
"Ah..." Why don't you pinch me anymore?
