Chapter 31 Plans for Building Toilets and Bathrooms

  Mo Yi'er scolded Chu Yan back to rest like a fierce little daughter-in-law, and the people of the tribe who saw it couldn't help but smile. In this world, there is probably only Mo Yi'er who dares to treat the leader like that. Even the people of the big tribe or the leaders are extremely polite to Chu Yan.

  The next day, during the daytime, Li Ke and several men who originally set up the fire kang were left behind by Mo Yi'er to modify the trap. Xiao Lai had also wanted to go, but he still had to lead the children to collect firewood, so he had to give up this time following.

  A row of wooden stakes were fixed at the bottom of the pit, and after being secured with mud, it was very sturdy and not easy to collapse. When the first trap was completed, Li Ke stood on top and exclaimed: "Even if a beast that's good at climbing trees falls in, it won't survive, Mo Yi'er you're really formidable."

  "Hehe, that's enough." Having been praised too much, Mo Yier became somewhat immune to these words of praise. Besides, if this were the 21st century, it would almost be a trap that everyone knows about! She just copied it over, without any feeling of pride. What's worth being proud of is the wisdom with which humanity has developed and multiplied.

  It was a big project to renovate all the traps, and it wasn't until late in the day that they still hadn't finished. Li Ke couldn't help but say: "Mo Yi'er, let's head back first, it's not safe at night in the dense forest."

  Mo Yi'er glanced at the sky, then looked at the little ball of fluff beside him who was yawning. With this guy around, even ferocious beasts wouldn't dare approach. "No, we'll finish all the modifications today before heading back. Light up the torches. I've already spoken to the leader when we set out this morning, they won't worry."

  "Good!" To Mo Yi'er's words, they now seemed to be completely obedient, just like Chu Yan's orders.

  Even though it had been said before, Chu Yan was still uneasy. When they were setting up the next trap of wooden spikes, Ya Shi brought two men holding torches to search for them.

  "How did you get here?"

  "The leader said he's not at ease with you, let us help out a bit, so we can head back earlier." Yashi smiled and said, it seems like today's daytime hunt yielded more food than yesterday, the men didn't look as listless as they did yesterday.

  "Alright, get to work!" Mo Yi'er stood aside, holding a torch to light the way for them as the men began installing the wooden stakes. Li Ke was really talented in this aspect of construction and could now do it with ease, guiding others on what to do. Mo Yi'er thought that she should cultivate him well in this area, so that in the future, the tribe's various constructions would be much better with him around!

  It wasn't until dawn that all the wooden thorns were installed in the traps, and the number of wooden thorns used was almost as estimated, leaving only two. On the way back, Yashi carried these two wooden thorns on his shoulder and refused to throw them away, saying that he would take them back to the cave, who knows what use they might be in the future!

  Everyone has been busy all day and is now exhausted. Several bonfires lit by Zhao Liang are burning inside the cave, and all the tribesmen are waiting for them without sleeping first.

  Chu Yan also widened his eyes and stared at the entrance of the cave, always worried about Mo Yi'er. Seeing them return, he propped himself up with his arm from the fire pit and stood up. "You're back."

  "Hmm, you'd better go to bed, why are you still not sleeping so late? And how come none of you are sleeping? There's work tomorrow, didn't I say don't worry about us? Mo Yier couldn't help but scold, finally understanding why women always like to nag after getting married, it's all because of these stinky men who make them worry too much! But this feeling is really good."

  "This is sleep, can't see you safely back, we also can't sleep!" Silkeni said with a smile, hugging her own man and child to sleep soundly. The other tribesmen also fell asleep one after another, while Sangzhen held hot meat soup and roasted meat for the late-returning men and Moyi'er. "Starving, huh? Eat quickly."

  "Mm." Mo Yier wasn't polite either, having only eaten one meal in the morning, and by now her stomach was growling with hunger. If it weren't for the fact that her physical condition had improved a lot since coming here, she would have been so hungry that she would have collapsed by now.

  The men were even more wolf-like, finishing their food in two or three mouthfuls and then lying down to sleep on the heated kang. No matter how tired they were, they felt comfortable in their hearts. Because when they returned to their tribe, there were people who cared about them, hot food, and a warm kang. No matter how tired they were, it was worth it.

  Mo Yu'er finished eating and took the bowl and chopsticks to go wash them by the water bucket. Sang Zhen hurriedly took them away from her. "I'll do it, I've boiled some hot water, you have a habit of washing up, hurry off!"

  "Ah, thank you, Sang Zhen! You're the best." Mo Yier's heart also felt warm and fuzzy, she hadn't expected Sang Zhen to be so considerate of her.

  A basin of warm water was placed by the side of the bucket, Mo Yi'er picked up a silk scarf to wipe her body, the only drawback is that she couldn't take a good bath, if she had her own cave, she could set up a large wooden tub for bathing, and at the very least, she could wash her dusty body thoroughly. By the way, there's also the toilet, shouldn't it be built properly too? This way, she wouldn't have to fertilize the short forest in front of the cave every day.

  Thinking and doing it right away has always been Mo Yi's style. As she washed her body, an idea suddenly occurred to her.

  The toilet will be built next to the rabbit hutch, using wooden pillars and surrounding it with a mat made of dry grass. The bathroom will be done in the same way, but since the weather is cold now, taking a bath might feel a bit chilly.

  "Mo Yu'er, hurry up and go to bed after washing up, it's getting late." Sang Zhen had already finished washing the bowls and chopsticks, and saw Mo Yu'er still holding the silk handkerchief in a daze, so she reminded her.

  "Alright, I'm going to sleep." Mo Yuer smiled sweetly, her good mood was obvious. Sang Zhen shook her head helplessly and went to bed first, after all, her man was still waiting eagerly... Although it was late at night, the cave could occasionally hear ambiguous sounds. The tribe wouldn't slack off when it came to love, if they wanted to be strong, they needed many people, so they had to have children, as many as possible.

  Giving birth is also the responsibility and obligation of tribal women, they have been looking forward to getting pregnant since they grew up with men until death... (because at that time people aged very quickly, when they died, their age was not old, especially for women who did not take care of themselves, so when they died, they were still fertile!)

  Mo Yu'er didn't go to sleep immediately after washing her body, she poured away the dirty water in the wooden basin, then sat on the ground by the bonfire and drew with a branch, fully focused, even when Chu Huo sneaked down to her side, she didn't notice.

  Chu Yu originally wanted to tell her to rest, but seeing her fully focused expression, he couldn't bear to disturb her, so he just stood by and accompanied her. The bonfire crackled with a popping sound, and the flickering flames cast a warm glow on Mo Yi's still somewhat childish face, piercing into Chu Yu's heart!
