Build a house

When Shen Nong returned, he was prepared to stay awake all night because there was also someone in his cave who took the marrow cleansing pill.

He actually has a light sleep. Under normal circumstances, he cannot fall asleep if there is any noise.

But what he didn't expect was that he didn't hear any sound until he reached the cave entrance.

He almost thought that there was no one in the cave.

The torches illuminated the cave, and the young boy was curled up on the animal skin, a thin and small ball.

His body was covered in cold sweat due to extreme pain, his eyes were closed tightly, blood was flowing between his lips and teeth, and his lips were bitten.

Shen Nong supported his head with his hands and lay on his side on the grass mat that the tribesmen had laid out for him during the day, feeling the rough yet soft touch of his body.

He looked in the light of the fire at the young man lying on the animal skin not far away. In the flickering light of the fire, he thought that the little guy was quite patient.

The next morning, Shen Nong slept until he woke up naturally. With the soft grass as a cushion, he did not suffer from back pain this time.

After a simple wash, put the toothbrush and other items back into the system warehouse.

He thought of the boy's little ball last night, and somehow opened the system store and chose white sugar from the sugar category.

The system has re-marked the prices. One kilogram of white sugar costs more than 500 infrastructure points after discount, and one kilogram of candy costs 1,000 infrastructure points after discount.

He still has 900 infrastructure points that can only be used to buy sugar.

[Candies can be purchased one by one, and each candy is worth one infrastructure point.]

【There are many varieties for you to choose from. 】

The system worked hard to promote it, vowing to hollow out Shen Nong's infrastructure points.

[Host, I'm giving you the main system's import price. Other systems are sold for five infrastructure points each.]

Shen Nong was somewhat tempted, and then spent a huge amount of money to buy a peach candy.

System: That's it? That's it? It's a waste of the feelings that I spent on importing it.

The first thing Ze did after waking up was to rinse his mouth and wash his face with water as Shen Nong had said before.

Shen Nong walked up to Ze with the sugar water and looked at the water dripping on his face. He thought the child was very obedient and did whatever he was told.

It’s worth buying him candy.

"I drank it."

Ze was like a command and an action, and Shen Nong did whatever he asked him to do.

He took the clay bowl and drank from it. He gulped down most of it before he realized something was wrong.

The young man stared at Shen Nong with his big eyes, "Water, the taste..."

He couldn't find a suitable word to describe it. Shen Nong smiled and said, "Sweet. This taste is sweet."

He nodded, but he stopped drinking.

He had never tasted this flavor before, but he had eaten berries once. The fruits were small and not as sweet as this juice.

But it’s delicious, and very hard to find.

Ze knew that this water must be something very good, so he handed the bowl to Shen Nong and said, "Priest, here is a drink for you."

Shen Nong glanced at the bowl that the other person had drunk from, and couldn't control his imagination, as if his skin had touched something dirty.

A slight feeling of discomfort rose in his heart, and he quickly looked away, interrupting his thoughts, "You will fall down if you don't drink it."

Pick one and drink it up immediately.

Shen Nong saw the man finish drinking the sugar water and told him to open his mouth.

I opened my mouth, and the next moment an even stronger sweetness spread in my mouth.

The smell was not only sweet, but also had other smells. He felt that his breath had that smell.

“Is it sweet?”

Ze held the peach candy in his mouth and nodded, "Sweet."

Shen Nong said "hmm", then said: "Remember to wash the dishes."

Ze held the bowl in his hand and looked at Shen Nong's back. He felt that he was surrounded by sweetness.

——

The marrow cleansing pill cleanses the tendons and marrow, and after a night of pain, the bones of the ten people have been completely reshaped.

On the way to find Shen Nong, Hu Xiao and the others talked about the changes in their physical sensations.

Rabbit Wind said: "I feel like my whole body is like a feather. If the wind blows, I can fly into the sky."

Hu Xiao patted his chest and raised his head, "I am full of strength now. I can even fight a giant beast."

Mao Yun stared at Hu Xiao and denied him, "You are not a priest. If you are so thin, you will only be beaten to death by the giant beast."

Hu Xiao's face turned red with anger. "The giant beast should be beaten to death by me! If you don't believe me, I will beat it to death and show you!"

"I don't want to watch you fight the beast. I only want to watch the priest fight the beast."

Mao Yun thought about Shen Nong's appearance when he shot the giant beast, and began to criticize Hu Xiao in various ways, "It looks good when the priest fights the giant beast, but it doesn't look good for you."

The two quarreled all the way to Shen Nong's cave before stopping.

Ze was already here, so he was the first one waiting outside the cave.

When Shen Nong came out, ten people stood in a row, very well behaved.

He took the bloodstone and asked them to test it again. Except for Ze, the other nine people were promoted by one level.

The reason for this is that he has not yet awakened his beast form and cannot be detected.

But according to his memory, fifteen autumns have passed as far as he can remember, so he is at least sixteen years old now.

When awakened in autumn, the human form will have animal characteristics.

However, there will be no difference in the power of the beast form, and it may even be stronger. After all, the marrow cleansing pill is not taken for nothing.

The nine people were very happy about the improvement in their abilities. To advance one level requires a lot of energy.

Some people may not advance one level for many autumns, but they advance in just one night.

"From today on, you will need strict training. You don't need to take care of the hunting team and the guard team for the time being."

Shen Nong called up the "Orc Warrior Training Plan" from the system screen, which was already in the system.

This just saves him from having to think of all sorts of messy methods that may not be effective in the end.

Four out of the nine people are women. Here, the strong are respected, and those who can join the hunting team or the guard team are not weak.

Shen Nong didn't intend to treat them differently and just made them equal in strength.

What's more, the physique of orcs cannot be compared with that of normal humans.

In the days that followed, Shen Nong conducted devilish training on the ten people.

Originally, Ze didn't have to come, but he wanted to go along, so Shen Nong followed his own wishes.

When he feels that something is not going well, he will choose to give up.

But what Shen Nong didn't expect was that this kid actually persisted until the end.

During the ten-man training days, the hunting team was led by Shen Nong and fought quickly and decisively.

He did not use the wooden warehouse again, but used his supernatural powers.

His supernatural powers recovered very well, probably because of the primitive era, there was a lot of wood energy. He could absorb very pure wood energy every day to temper and improve the level of his crystal core.

During the training of the ten people, Shen Nong gave them enough food to ensure that they had enough for every meal.

Shen Nong was also certain of one thing: the strength of these orcs was not related to their physical size, but to their food intake.

This skinny and small one is stronger than a tiger's roar, and it also eats the most.

He was a big eater. He was restrained at first, but as the training became more intense, he could not complete the task without eating enough, so he started to eat as much as he could.

Ever since he had his fill, Shen Nong had been hunting longer than before.

——

Shen Nong found that the summer here was particularly long. He had been here for two months and the weather was still very hot.

The ten people he selected trained in the tribe according to the system's training plan for a month and then left the tribe together, saying that they were going to the grassland where there were many giant beasts for more intensive training.

Every time Shen Nong went out hunting, he could finally catch his breath and rest more, without having to hunt so much.

He finally had enough time and energy to start thinking about replanning the tribe.

And I heard from the people of the Mu tribe that autumn is very short, only a few days, and then the long winter comes.

Shen Nong looked at the tribe and found that all they had were thatched huts or cold caves. It was okay in the summer and even at night it wouldn't be very cold, but if winter came many people would surely freeze to death.

Now a lot of pottery has been fired, not only enough for the people in the tribe to use, but also a lot can be taken out to exchange for things.

Time waits for no one, so Shen Nong asked them to stop and start burning mud bricks to prepare to build a mud house.

Shen Nong made a simple rectangular mold with a stick and began to make mud bricks. The finished mud bricks needed to be dried in the shade just like the previous mud pots.

He crushed some broken tiles and put them into mud bricks, which would increase the success rate when firing and would not crack easily.

In the past two months, Shen Nong has built a simple earthen kiln in the tribe, which produces better results and burns faster than burning directly on a pile of fire.

All the earthen kilns started working at the same time and the bricks were fired very quickly.

Shen Nong recalled the steps of building a mud house that he had seen in ancient books and started to work.

The roof is still covered with straw for the time being. The thicker the straw, the better the effect.

When he was building the house, he left a chimney and planned to build an earthen kang.

This way you can keep the kang warm in winter.

In order to have light, Shen Nong left space for a window. Since there was no glass here, he used wood chips instead.

The wood chips were propped up with sticks during the day and lowered at night.

After a mud house was built, the young men of the Mu tribe ran around it happily.

Some would stick their heads out of the window and shout, then quickly squat down to let people play with them.

The old people of the Mu tribe were touching the edge of the house, with endless memories evoked in their cloudy eyes.

They had seen such houses in Beast City before, and they had also wanted to build one, using a lot of mud.

But each time it was never piled high enough, and it would crack when exposed to the sun and collapse when there was too much rain.

However, when they went in and took a closer look, they found something different: the mud houses built by the priests were better than those in the beast city.

Shen Nong asked all the people in the tribe to participate in the construction of mud houses, starting with building places for the elderly and orphaned children to live in.

The parentless children of the Wood Tribe usually live with the elders. Because they are not awakened and have little power, the only thing they can do is collect berries.

When the children heard that they would build a house for them first, they were very happy.

Maocao showed his small white teeth and put his hands on his hips, "Priest, you are so kind! We have such a nice house to live in, so we won't be frozen to death in the winter!"

Tuhua nodded vigorously, "Yes! And the priest said that we can light a fire in the sleeping area of ​​the house, and sleeping on it in winter will be like a summer night."

The unimaginable feeling of cat grass made him look forward to the arrival of winter for the first time. He wanted to give good things to the priest and make the priest happy.

So he called out to his friends, "Let's go pick berries for the priest!"
