Ling Yun agreed to Lin Qiu and did remind himself in his heart.
Not only does he have to guard against Wu Chuan's possible ill will towards him, but he also has to guard against himself. From now on, Ling Yun will be more vigilant when going into the forest, telling himself that he must return alive and not let Lin Qiu worry about him.
After wasting a morning, Ling Yun and Song Mu started working on the house again.
The area around their cave became bustling with activity. Firstly, everyone wanted to see Ling Yun escape from the swamp, and secondly, they were curious to see the house they were building.
Collecting materials was the most time-consuming part. Ling Yun and Song Mu worked together on the wall-building work. They had piled up the stones and yellow mud before sunset.
The next day, Ling Yun mixed some yellow mud and used it to smooth the inner wall.
Then we need to erect the roof beams.
Lin Qiu drew an isosceles triangle on the ground, and drew a line parallel to the bottom in the middle of the triangle. The two parallel lines represented two beams, which were connected by wooden columns in the middle, making the structure more stable.
This beam structure is placed on both sides of the house, with a tree trunk wedged in the middle at the intersection of the triangle tip and the parallel lines to form the basic structure of the roof.
Lin Qiu drew the picture and asked Ling Yun and Song Mu to cut and bind the wood according to the structure she drew and the data she told them.
Song Mu stared at the picture Lin Qiu drew for a while, and Lin Qiu asked, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Song Mu shook her head: "No problem."
"Well, then do it according to this. I've measured it, and the data should be correct."
The weather was a bit hot, and Lin Qiu stood outside for a while. Ling Yun and Song Mu were at home today, so there was no need for her to accompany them outside, so she went back to the cave to stay in the shade.
Ling Yun saw Song Mu's expression and brought him back to his senses: "Hurry up and do it."
"Ling Yun, Xiaoqiu has become very different."
"Yeah, after she came back, she became much gentler and treated us very well. It seemed a little unreal to me."
"That's not what I meant."
Making carts, cotton yarn, and candles, it can be said that Lin Qiu just remembered them after seeing them from outside.
But Lin Qiu can not only build houses, but also calculate the length of wood so accurately. Song Mu feels that this is not something that can be learned overnight.
The length of the beam can be measured, but how did she know the lengths of the other two sides of the triangle?
Song Mu looked at the strange characters written by Lin Qiu on the ground and fell into deep thought.
"So what? Isn't it enough that she can stay with us safely? Song Mu, don't think too much." Ling Yun patted Song Mu's shoulder.
Song Mu raised his eyes and looked at Ling Yun, then nodded silently.
The three houses looked very large, but they were built by Ling Yun and Song Mu in less than two days.
The room was taking shape. Although the orcs in the tribe didn't know how they could make a fire in this house in the cold season, when Ling Yun invited them in to take a look, they all felt that the house was transparent from front to back and much more comfortable to live in than a cave. Not only was the air flowing, but it was also very bright.
Lin Qiu couldn't find a way to make window frames for the time being, so when building the house, he nailed a circle of wood around the window frames and then hung animal skins on them.
In winter, you can seal the window frame and leave only one spot for ventilation.
After the house was built, it was time to build the kang. Ling Yun taught other people in the tribe how to build a house, while Song Mu built the kang at home. Everyone in the tribe was very grateful to Lin Qiu for not being selfish, and they all brought some meat and fruit over.
Because the gift was sent out of gratitude for their help, Lin Qiu let Ling Yun accept it.
Lin Qiu became smart and gentle, and everyone else in the tribe noticed it.
It’s not like there weren’t males who tried to pursue Lin Qiu in the past, but Lin Qiu didn’t hide the disgust in their eyes, so everyone stayed away.
After Lin Qiu became a couple, he often beat and scolded Ling Yun and Song Mu, and even refused to let them enter the cave. The two of them always slept at the entrance of the cave, and there was no possibility of mating at all.
So even those who had pursued Lin Qiu had given up the idea.
But Lin Qiu's transformation gave everyone hope again.
Now that the summer season is half over, hunting in the cold season is not easy. Lin Qiu has two males, which means that only one can go out hunting, but most of the time in the cold season he will return empty-handed, so the whole family will go hungry that day.
Before Lin Qiu reached adulthood, she was supported by the entire tribe. However, after she reached adulthood and had her own male, the tribe no longer provided her with food.
So everyone was certain that Lin Qiu would pair up with two or three more males before the rainy season came in order to better survive this cold season.
The last time Bal fought with Song Mu, both were badly injured but he refused to give up.
After he recovered from his injury, he wandered around Lin Qiu's cave. However, Song Mu's physical condition gradually improved, and being on guard against by Song Mu, Bal did not dare to act rashly.
Because he wanted to join Lin Qiu's family in the future, and didn't want to have too much conflict with Ling Yun and Song Mu before this.
Bal finally found the opportunity. Song Mu went out hunting early in the morning, while Ling Yun went to the tribe's stream to fetch water. Only Lin Qiu was weaving something with hay at the entrance of the cave.
The grass in Lin Qiu's hand was a long, flexible grass that grew by the stream. She wanted to weave a straw mat and put it under the kang so that she could sleep more cleanly.
"Lin Qiu."
Bal held four sweet fruits in his hands. Each of the fruits was bright and plump, with water droplets hanging on them, and looked like they had been washed.
"Is there something wrong?"
Lin Qiu had never paid much attention to these males in the tribe before, and for a moment he couldn't remember Bal's name.
Seeing that Lin Qiu replied to his words, Bal was a little excited. He placed the sweet fruit on the stone next to Lin Qiu: "I picked some sweet fruit for you. I heard that you rabbits like this."
Lin Qiu looked up at Bal, who scratched his head. "Lin Qiu, would you consider being my partner? I'm also very strong, and I can hunt wild animals every day. Besides, I'm not as stingy as Song Mu, so I won't stop you from being my partner."
The males were very direct in their courtship, and Lin Qiu's rejection was also direct: "Sorry, I don't want to mate with you. Besides Ling Yun and Song Mu, I don't want to mate with any other males."
"Lin Qiu, you know, if it's just the two of them, you'll probably go hungry during the winter. Do you really plan to eat hay all winter long?"
"I'm already making food that can be stored. They don't need to go out hunting during the cold season, and I can still have enough to eat."
Lin Qiu has baked a lot of dried sweet fruits and fruit powder. Although the fruit powder is much different from the original juice after being rehydrated, it is still very sweet, and the dried fruit peel is also very filling.
For Lin Qiu, a rabbit orc, she will not starve to death in the cold season.
Hearing Lin Qiu's words, Bal still didn't give up. "It's difficult for a cub with the fur color of Ling Yun and Song Mu to reproduce. They only have two brothers, and his father didn't even have any brothers. It's difficult for you to give birth to a cub if you only stay with them."
