Chapter 303: Brick House Finished, Preparing for Decoration, Trouble from the Hundred Beast Tribe!
A Lian felt Lin Ye lie on top of her and raised her head, wanting to look at him.
However, there were two large mountains between them.
Since she couldn’t move, she lay back down.
Just like that, everyone rested for a long time before getting up from the ground.
After A Lian got up, her face flushed as she glanced at Lin Ye.
Lin Ye had shifted to a more comfortable spot while lying there.
Once everyone was up, Sakura held the half-cooked potato pancake.
They all walked towards the wooden house.
The three puppies were growing rapidly in size.
But they also looked more and more like dogs.
Seeing Sakura about to feed them, they all started wagging their tails.
After entering the wooden house, everyone lay down on the beds and immediately fell asleep.
The three puppies were devouring potato pancakes outside the door.
They didn’t react to the big round moon in the sky anymore.
After eating their fill, they all lay down on the ground and slept.
The next day, after waking up.
The Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls split into two groups.
One group, led by Xing, continued building houses.
The other group, led by Shi, continued roasting potatoes.
The first thing Lin Ye did in the morning was to make several piles of cement for the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls.
This would be enough for them to use that morning.
Next, Lin Ye began to make doors and windows.
This time, Lin Ye didn’t want to use the simple doors and windows woven from bamboo anymore.
Instead, he wanted to make wooden doors and windows, the kind used before the appearance of glass.
Furthermore, Lin Ye intended to make them double-layered.
This would help block the cold wind outside in the winter.
Lin Ye designed each Beast-eared Girl and Winged Girl to have a small window in their room.
So, the windows alone were a huge undertaking.
Starting now, he didn’t know if he could finish all the doors and windows by the time the house was built.
Thus, time passed day by day.
Wheat and potatoes ripened a few more times.
Setsuna also frequently came to Lin Ye to “Grasp the Future.”
The houses slowly became taller and taller.
Apart from when he needed to leave openings for windows, Lin Ye spent two more days helping the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls.
All other times were spent making doors and windows.
More than half of the potatoes in the cave had already been made into potato chips.
When people didn’t go out much in the winter, these potato chips could serve as snacks.
As the days passed.
The season slowly entered deep autumn.
Many animals had already begun to hoard a large amount of food and store fat to survive the winter.
And many herbivores had already started migrating.
Wild horses were also a species that migrated.
The Unicorn also discussed this issue with Lin Ye.
It didn’t need to migrate itself; it could even eat barbecued meat and live well in the tribe.
But wild horses couldn’t.
Their main food was grass.
However, in winter, the temperature here was cold, and there would even be extended periods of heavy snowfall.
When everything withered, wild horses wouldn’t be able to survive here.
Lin Ye thought about the problem and realized it was indeed difficult to solve.
Lin Ye hadn’t found any suitable forage yet.
The current grass also couldn’t be stored in large quantities.
And if the wild horse herd were to migrate.
According to the Unicorn, during each migration, nearly one-third of the wild horses wouldn’t return.
Just as Lin Ye was troubled by this issue.
The wild horses solved the problem themselves.
One day, when Sakura returned after practicing her Talent Ability.
She told Lin Ye that the wild horses were eating wheat stalks.
Upon hearing this, a smile instantly appeared on Lin Ye’s face.
The forage he had been looking for was actually being grown in their own tribe.
This way, the wild horses wouldn’t need to migrate.
They just needed to store large amounts of these wheat stalks.
Wheat stalks had low nutritional value, and wild horses eating them could only fill their stomachs.
However, if mixed with beet leaves, potato leaves, and potatoes, they could all be used as feed for the wild horses.
The beetroot had already grown to over a hundred plants.
They hadn’t said anything about the beetroot before, intending to let them produce seeds and expand the planting.
Once these hundred beetroot plants produced seeds and were all collected, they would all be refined into sugar.
This would be enough for the tribe to eat for a winter.
Next spring, when these seeds are planted again, beetroot would also become a major crop for the tribe.
Lin Ye also specifically set aside a greenhouse in the brick house.
It was specifically for storing various seeds.
For example, if potatoes were stored in the cave during winter, they would all freeze.
After finding feed for the wild horses.
When the wheat ripened again.
This time, Lin Ye took the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls and paused building houses for a day.
They planted a large amount of wheat.
This wheat would be feed for the wild horses.
A few days later, the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls successfully erected the brick house.
All that remained was the roof and the floor.
The floor was easy to solve. A layer of bricks was laid on the ground, followed by a layer of cement.
Once the cement solidified, the floor was finished.
The walls also needed to be plastered with another layer of cement.
The Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls finished this work in a couple of days.
For the parts of the brick house that the Beast-eared Girls couldn’t reach, the Winged Girls flying up handled them.
Next was the roof.
Lin Ye still chose to use a wooden roof.
The general construction method was no different from the wooden house.
However, this time they had cement.
And they had Winged Girls transporting lumber upwards.
This time, Lin Ye directly made a large number of long wooden planks.
After laying the wooden planks on the roof, a thick layer of cement was spread on top.
With the Winged Girls, the efficiency of roof work increased significantly.
Lin Ye directly mixed cement on the roof, and the mixed cement was spread directly onto the roof.
However, this was only for insulation; a cement roof alone was not yet complete.
Because cement roofs could easily crack after being exposed to sunlight.
And when it rained, the rainwater would drip through the cracks.
Therefore, a sloping roof with two triangular shapes made of wood was needed on top.
However, this time the Beast-eared Girls had the experience from the previous time, and their work was much faster.
The Winged Girls were responsible for transporting materials to the Beast-eared Girls.
This time, whether it was dry grass or bamboo slices.
Only the best quality materials were used.
Moreover, Lin Ye had directly forged nails this time.
The wooden materials on the roof were directly fixed with nails.
This method was much faster than the Mortise and Tenon Joint.
After nearly two months of busy work.
The brick house was finally completely built.
After attaching the last bamboo slice to the roof.
Lin Ye, the Beast-eared Girls, and the Winged Girls stood outside the brick house.
With smiles full of accomplishment on their faces.
Looking at the brick house they had built through so many days of effort.
The Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls were all beaming with joy.
To ensure excellence, Lin Ye had the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls plaster another layer of cement on the outside of the brick house and then attach a layer of wooden boards.
This would not only make it waterproof but also provide effective insulation in winter.
Furthermore, these wooden boards could later be used to leave everyone’s marks as a memento.
Grandma Nanrong looked at the large house, her eyes filled with shock.
Having lived in tents her whole life, she never expected to have the chance to live in such a house.
However, although the frame of the brick house was completely built.
There were still many things inside that were not ready.
So, they couldn’t move in yet.
But this did not dampen their joyous mood.
After watching for a while, everyone went to the open space to prepare for the meal.
The Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls sat together, chatting happily.
The sweet laughter of the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls could be heard intermittently.
Lin Ye lay on the stone, also feeling very happy.
However, the Hundred Beast Tribe in the Central Continent was now facing a major problem.
Originally, the Beast Kings of the Hundred Beast Tribe thought that with “Hundred Beast Return to the Nest” and the help of the Vultures and Golden Eagles, they would have a guaranteed victory.
But the Iron-eating Beast Tribe and the Lynx Tribe were in an irreconcilable, do-or-die situation with the Hundred Beast Tribe.
After two months of fighting.
The Vulture Tribe, seeing no benefit, decisively withdrew from the Hundred Beast Tribe and no longer participated in the battle.
As for the Golden Eagle Tribe, due to the “life for life” fighting style of the Lynx Tribe and the Iron-eating Beast Tribe, who refused to retreat.
Every time they dive-bombed from the air, several members of the Golden Eagle Tribe would be seized and killed.
