Chapter 124: Building a Stilted Building
I still have a hand in finding a place to live, and the place I am looking for is a certain distance from the sea, and it is a very dry mountain.
This small hill is a hollow gourd, the entrance is at the top of the mountain, it is an irregular cave that can only allow one orc to enter, and it is blocked by the root system of a tall coconut tree on the top of the mountain, Du also wants to stand high and see far, so when he arrives here, it is just that his sensitive snake tail is hooked by the roots, and he finds this cave as soon as he swings his tail.
This cave is divided into two layers, the upper layer is the place of the entrance, the place that enters the bottom of the gourd has to pass through a larger hole, the area below is very large, there is a spring eye in the corner of the cave, it should be groundwater, it tastes alone, it is very sweet and delicious, which solves the problem of water source.
The temperature in the cave is also very pleasant, neither hot nor cold, the only bad thing is that the cave is a little damp, which is also related to the proximity to the sea, but it is no problem to pack up and live in a cold season.
Ripple also expressed her satisfaction after seeing it, but she felt that it was better to live comfortably if there were conditions, and there was such a large space here, building a small stilted building, just to isolate the dampness of the ground, and private space, Meng and Du could live in the small cave above, and the two spaces would not disturb each other.
Just do it, after Ripple said his plan, he went to prepare the materials for the construction of the stilted building, it was the first time to build, and he had no experience, so Ripple held the sleeping ball and went to the woods to choose materials together.
When Meng was sent back by Wei Lan, the timber and vines for the construction of the stilted building had already been ready, and Meng was responsible for fetching the stones, and then according to the requirements of the ripples, the stone pieces were divided into shapes of different thicknesses and sizes for later use.
Wei Lan saw that the divine envoy made a big move here, and offered to help with a very good eye.
Ripple thought that there were many places to deal with the mermaid clan throughout the cold season, so she was not polite, so she found a few male mermaids to help build a residence together, and let Meng and Du free up their hands to hunt some prey and collect more wood.
Wei Lan didn't need to ask the patriarch, so she immediately nodded in response, returned to the beach and called twice, and after a while, eight handsome and sturdy male mermaids joined the ranks of building houses.
The foundation of the stilted building is built with strong ironwood, all of which are slammed into the bottom of the cave one by one, leaving only one meter and a half of the ironwood length exposed outside, and then the main frame of the stilted building, which is also made of ironwood, after the overall frame comes out, it is used to cut the stone chips to act as the wall.
The roof of the stilted building is a huge shell contributed by the mermaid tribe, and the roof of the three-bedroom living room designed by Ripples is tightly covered and unusually beautiful.
It only took ten days for the stilted building to be built, and the ripples put a few braziers in the house to dry the stilted building, and then slowly added the tables, chairs, benches and wooden beds that had been built.
Because there was nothing suitable for making windows, Ripple directly used the power of the beast seal to make windows with flowing water, separating the space inside and outside the stilted building, so as not to make the room dark.
Wei Lan had stayed in the cave to help build the oracle's dwelling, and everything she had never seen before had attracted her attention, and everything she felt was so delicate that she didn't know how many new things the oracle's mind had, and she worshipped Ripple more and more.
Ten days before entering the cold season, the weather really cleared, although it was sunny, but there was a trace of cold air in the air, even the mermaids also felt it, and they were actively stocking up to eat.
Duhe Meng also took advantage of this time to hunt a lot, and Weilan would also send some fresh fish and shrimp caught.
Ripple knew that the mermaid clan was about to enter the deep sea, so after the stilted building was built, she invited the patriarch Carp and Wu to her place to settle down and had a warm house feast, and the food she made was also made with fresh ingredients.
Roasted unicorn beef, roasted whole pig, tofu fish soup, hot and sour fish, cold fern root powder, corn flour tortillas, crystal meat buns, fried meat with bean sprouts, stewed tofu with kelp, garlic seashells, fried seafood hodgepodge, soy milk, really opened the eyes of the carp patriarch and Wu, and they also had a great appetite, and they ate until they went back.
The tofu in it is still the brine that Ripples found from the place where they dried the sea salt after coming to the mermaid tribe, which made tofu, and he was very surprised to look at the soybean milk that changed after clicking on the brine, especially when it was made into tofu, he felt even more incredible.
Ripples just want to eat something delicious, and they have a lot of soybeans, and they are particularly resistant to putting after drying, when you want to eat, when to grind some, very convenient, soaked tender bean sprouts ripples like to eat, which is much fresher than soaked dried vegetables.
As the first heavy snow falls, it marks the official beginning of the cold season in the world of beasts.
In previous years, although the first month of the cold season was cold, but because of the food reserves, they were not hungry, and when they entered the second month, all the orcs had to start to make careful calculations, and the last month was the hardest, although the temperature had risen, but their food storage had also bottomed out.
And in the first month of the warm season, the beasts in the forest also held back a cold season, the hunger was abnormal, and it was also very ferocious, at this time it was easy for the beast tide to occur, they knew that the orc tribe had food, so they would fiercely unite to attack the tribe.
Of course, this situation does not happen every year, and it does not happen to every tribe, some small orc tribes are easy to attack, and large orcs such as the bear clan and the tiger clan are not easy to be besieged, after all, male orcs are not vegetarians.
Ripples this cold season is still very fulfilling, she found the mermaid witch to exchange some animal skin rolls and cuttlefish juice, and listed all aspects of the future development of the beast world, eating, wearing, living, traveling, weights and measures, writing, etc., she will write down everything she can think of, and then find the right time to implement them one by one.
Then there was the training group, and the little guy was also miserable by the ripples, either flooded, or tied to his limbs by branches, or chased by the fire to burn his buttocks, in short, he was not allowed to have free time.
Xiao Tuanzi is always vigilant, even when eating, one eye has to stare at his mother beast, and the ripples are funny.
However, the effect of this is still obvious, Xiao Tuanzi is very vigilant, his hearing is even better than that of two adult orcs, and he is the best among the cubs in terms of running and jumping.
Although Tuanzi has mastered the use of beast marks and can turn into a human form, but the human form is soft and lying on his stomach, and he himself is a little disgusted, plus he keenly feels that his own mother beast seems to prefer his beast form, and will cuddle him to sleep at night, so he basically appears in the form of a beast.
Ripples is actually to use the little guy as a stove, don't look at the little one, but it is very warm, and it is very comfortable to sleep in the arms at night.
After eating and drinking enough that day, Meng took the little guy out on patrol, and when he came back, he brought back an ape covered in blood.
