Chapter 175 Building a House



The blood stained Xiao Yeli, and Xiao Yeli's whole body was immediately covered with dazzling white light.

This reminded Tu Ling of a comic book she had read before, which seemed to be censored in the same way.

When the white light faded away, everyone gathered around curiously to check Ye Li's mark. It was the same as Zi Ye's, with a snake wrapped around a fox's body, but Ye Li's mark seemed to be darker in color.

Ye Li touched the mark lovingly, completely forgetting that there were other people around.

"Can you please not be so disgusting?" Zi Ye looked at Ye Li's actions and immediately mocked him. In fact, such things often happen to males. After all, they are too happy.

But Zi Ye just wanted to retort Ye Li.

Ye Li then remembered that there were other people around, so he quickly put the animal skin back on and waited until night to feel it carefully.

He tentatively took Tu Ling's hand and said, "Then, Lady, can I sleep on the bed tonight?"

Zi Ye: "I can't sleep."

Ye Li was about to ask who asked him, but changed his tone: "Yeah, the bed is so small, it would be a bit crowded if I sleep on it. It's okay, I'm used to sleeping in the corner. It's just a little cold, I can just curl up and be fine."

Bai Qi: "Ah, Ye Li, you...female master, why don't you let Ye Li sleep on the bed? There's quite a lot of space on the bed."

"what ever."

Tu Ling was about to go out after she finished speaking: "Hurry up, it's time to get to work, don't let those males go hungry."

Shiki immediately said, "Madam, can you please ask the males to cook so we can go and do the work?"

"No." Tu Ling immediately refused.

"Why?"

Tu Ling explained the reason: "If you ask them to cook, shouldn't you teach them how to do it? Once they know how to cook, can't they just go back and do it themselves? Why would they come and do my work?"

"But do they have fire...", Shi Yixiao muttered, he really thought cooking was too simple, he wanted to go and work.

"Do you understand what it means to protect core technology?" Tu Ling was heartbroken. She hugged Shiyi's neck and kissed him on the cheek: "I know you are the best. Don't make me worry, okay?"

Shiyi bit her lower lip shyly: "I know, but you still kissed me, how annoying!"

"I love cooking the most. Come on, Yinhen, let's go cook." Shiyi left as if bathed in spring breeze. Yeli rolled his eyes at him imperceptibly and followed him.

Tu Ling went to the small plain. There were already a lot of bricks piled up in the small plain, enough to build a house, but what kind of house would be better?

A bungalow? Or a duplex?

It’s better to build a single layer first to test the waters, and then we can talk about the double layer later.

Looks like we still need to lay a foundation.

Tu Ling called the males over and said, "Building a house is a little different from building a chicken coop. For a chicken coop, you just stack bricks, but an orc's house is different. Look."

Tu Ling drew a rectangle of about fifty square meters on an open space.

"Now, follow this shape and dig out the soil here, about one meter."

The orcs did as they were told, not quite understanding why. Since the ground was not wide, they quickly dug the foundation.

"Now, I'll teach you how to lay bricks. Remember, the bricks must be laid neatly, not crookedly."

Tu Ling first spread the yellow mud mixed with black water in the pit, and then began to lay a layer of bricks on it.

"For the second layer, change the direction of the bricks."

As he spoke, Tu Ling smeared a layer of yellow mud on the newly laid bricks and rotated the bricks ninety degrees. The width of the three bricks added together was exactly the length of one brick.

Laying bricks this way can make the wall more stable.

"Okay, the rest is up to you. Just build it like this first."

After the wall was built, Tu Ling also brought some string grass. After the string grass was tightened, it could be used to measure whether the wall was neat.

On the wall facing the sun, Tu Ling also wanted to leave space for a window and a door.

But how it was built is a problem.

Tu Ling was thinking, if they used wood directly on it, would the wood be able to support such a heavy wall?

Obviously, it doesn't sound very reliable.

So Tu Ling wanted to use yellow mud to see if he could cast a long board.

Tu Ling measured the width and made a simple model. Because this board was crucial, Tu Ling was extremely careful, fearing that it would accidentally create a crack.

The longboard came out, and its height was as high as a brick. Two orcs picked up the longboard, rode on the other two orcs, and then stood up.

The orc carefully placed the long board on the wall where the window rudiments already existed, and pressed it down hard to allow the long board to stick to the yellow mud underneath.

Then, in this position, continue to build the wall.

When the wall was built to two meters high, the orcs could no longer reach the top.

So Tu Ling prepared to build a climbing frame.

A climbing frame is easy to make. Just use a few pieces of wood to build it up. Make sure to nail a few wooden boards diagonally between the two legs. This way the climbing frame will be more stable and less likely to fall over.

The orcs looked at the climbing frame in amazement and marveled at Tu Ling's wisdom.

It can be said that the continuation of female power in this world is inseparable from Tu Ling.

The roof gave Tu Ling an even bigger headache. What should he do? Should he build a 50-meter-long board? It would definitely collapse.

The house seems to be built too big. If it were smaller, the roof would be easier to build.

"Lord, what should we do next?"

"Go and rest first. I'll tell you what to do tomorrow."

Tu Ling sat next to the house and thought for a long time about how to make the roof more reliable.

But I have never thought of a perfect solution, and I don’t know how my ancestors built their houses in the past.

Now she can only use some clumsy methods.

Tu Ling was thinking of putting wood directly on the roof.

But this house, which is 10 meters long and 5 meters wide, is not easy to build. Although there are enough tall trees in the rain forest, Tu Ling still feels it is not stable. So Tu Ling divided the house into two small rooms inside to provide support for the wooden roof.

The next day, the orcs went to cut trees.

Tu Ling did not follow them, but stayed in the cave to watch Yin Hen and the others cook.

Cooking is not as easy as it used to be. You have to grill meat one end at a time, otherwise you will never finish it.

"Why don't you guys make some soup? It's most convenient when there are a lot of people."

"But after they finish the soup, the orcs will probably be hungry again before they even take two steps."

Tu Ling knocked Bai Qi's stupid head: "Then you can put something more in the soup. It's not like we usually drink it."

Tu Ling took out the pot rack and put water in it. She put in the large intestine, liver, stomach, beef, and everything that could be put in. When it was almost boiling, Tu Ling also cut a dozen cabbages and threw them in.

She had only recently discovered this cabbage and had planted a few of them on the small plain.
