Chapter 32 Get Moving

  "Uh-huh. That's it. Can't build a flush toilet. Just dig a hole under the WC and use wooden boards. This way, we can also accumulate fertilizer. Planting sunflowers later won't be a problem either." Mo Yier muttered to herself as she drew, and on the ground, a roughly complete structure diagram had already taken shape.

  "What's this." Chu Yan finally couldn't help but ask out loud again, wanting to know what good thing Mo Yier had thought of again.

  But he suddenly spoke out and startled Mo Yier. She looked up to see him, and busily patted her own chest. With some helplessness, she said: "How did you come down again? You're really making me worried. And still not listening obediently."

  "Hehe, I came down to tell you to sleep, but was attracted by the things you drew. Come and tell me, what's on your mind this time."

  "This is... to solve our personal problems..." Mo Yu'er looked at Chu Yan with great interest, but couldn't bear to scold him back, so she explained it to him in detail instead. However, this time Chu Yan didn't show his usual excitement. For them, just finding a place to relieve themselves was enough, why bother with all the fuss? But the bathroom wasn't bad, now that the people of Kan had learned from their mistakes and were passing on the knowledge one by one. The women had even started washing their hands before meals, while the men were more careless and sometimes needed reminding."

  "Chu Huo, don't you think that the issue of this toilet is not worth paying attention to? In fact, it's not good to solve it so casually in the past. On cold days, it's okay, but on hot days, it's smelly and will attract many insects and flies. These are unhygienic and can bring diseases. We have a fixed place now, where we can concentrate on dealing with those dirty things, which is also good for our bodies. Moreover, in a few days, I need to plant some plants, and at that time, I'll need feces as fertilizer."

  "Use feces as fertilizer. What to plant." Chu Yan was surprised. Really can't think of what use that smelly thing discharged has.

  "Sunflowers have edible fruits that are good for people's heads." Mo Yi'er pointed to her own head, thought for a moment and then said: "They will make people smarter."

  "Oh, I see. Alright then, whatever you say goes." Chu Yan agreed and Mo Yier carried out the plan without any issues.

  "Alright, sleep tight. Tell Li Qiao to stay in the tribe tomorrow. Only he is needed. The others can go hunting." As she said this, looking at Chu Yan nodding, Mo Yi'er lowered her voice and asked: "How was today's hunt?"

  "Hmm, it's much better today. Although not as much as the food we hunted before, it's not little either. There are two adult wild deer. The women also caught more birds."

  "That's good." Mo Yi thought. As expected, her guess was correct. The men didn't look disheartened either.

  Two people lay down on the kang, which was warm and cozy thanks to Sang Zhen's efforts. It was just right for sleeping. One had to say that Sang Zhen was a thoughtful and capable woman.

  Chu Hu looked at Mo Yuer beside him, wanting to sleep with her like they used to when they went out and slept in the wilderness. But a small ball of fluff lay between them. Just as Chu Hu was about to make a move, he opened his eyes, bared his sharp teeth, seemingly warning Chu Hu not to move.

  Chu Yan couldn't help but laugh. However, as a seasoned hunter, he was well aware of the ferocity of wild beasts' fangs. He had suspected it before, and now he was even more certain. The little furball wasn't as gentle as it seemed on the surface. He also recalled that the leader and people of the Haimu tribe said that the little furball was too dangerous. Was it really true?

  Feeling the piercing and suspicious gaze, Xiao Rong carelessly rolled her eyes and occupied the position beside Mo Yuer, sticking her body tightly to Mo Yuer's back, enjoying herself immensely.

  Chu thought deeply but to no avail. He had no choice but to close his eyes and rest. His body gradually recovered. Hopefully, he could be of help tomorrow.

  This morning, all the tribesmen got up a little later than usual, even without watches, they didn't know the exact time, but they still felt that they had gotten up late, hastily drinking meat soup and doing their own things. Li Ke was about to leave when he was stopped by Chu Xiang, who instructed him on yesterday's Mo Yi'er's entrustment.

  Rikuo looked excited: "Is there something to do again? That's great." Rikuo really liked the work of building the house door. Hunting was not very good, so being able to stay in the tribe and do other jobs made him very happy.

  "Uh-huh. I heard we need to use trees. You go cut down a few first. We need ones that are about this thick." Chu Huo used his hand to gesture a circle with a diameter of about ten centimeters, saying to Li Lu.

  "Alright, I'll go now." Li Ke happily took up the stone axe they had ground and went to chop down trees. Chu Yan stood by the bonfire studying the picture Mo Yi had drawn last night.

  Mo Yu'er herself was still fast asleep. In the entire tribe, only she and Xiao Hei had this privilege of not having to wake up early or sleep late.

  Until Li Ke chopped down two small trees and dragged them back, Mo Yier didn't get out of bed. Everyone was busy. Only she was left in the cave. Even the elderly were on the open space in front of the cave making and assembling various parts of the wooden cart.

  "Ah...... how did I sleep until now? Chu Yan, why didn't you wake me up?" Mo Yier hastily jumped up and quickly folded the animal hide with her hands and feet.

  "It doesn't matter if you sleep a bit longer. I've already asked Lí Kū to cut down the tree."

  "Oh...exhale..." Mo Yier let out a sigh of relief. She had wasted her own time, at least don't let others waste theirs too.

  Mo Yu'er simply washed up and then ate the warm meat soup in the ceramic pot, then went out. Just as Li Ke had pulled over a second small tree. Mo Yu'er took a look and said: "Not bad, this thickness is just right."

  Actually, a bit finer is also possible. But in order to be used for a long time, being a bit coarser will make it more durable.

  "How many trees will be used in total?" Li Qiao hurriedly asked Mo Yi'er, wanting to know what to do next.

  "Let's cut down six trees first." Mo Yier planned to build separate toilets for men and women, with a wall in between. This way, they only needed to drive 6 stakes.

  "Good." Li Ke replied, coming over. These six trees would take up almost a whole day of his time. The tools were not up to par. If he had a sharp axe, these small trees could be chopped down in no time.

  "En. Pear stake, refuel oh. After the tree is cut down, the next step is to sharpen it into a pointed shape like a wooden stake. It needs to be nailed into the ground."

  "Good." Li Ke replied, but his mind was constantly pondering. This morning he also saw the picture by the bonfire.

  "Don't worry, little one. What can I do? This little guy is so obedient. Just put him by our side and that's it." Chu Yan patted the drowsy Xiao Hei again, thinking of finding something else to do for himself.
