After several days of rain and cold, the temperature has dropped significantly. Zhu Yuanyuan has put on thicker animal skin clothes and pants. In order to be more comfortable, she also wears autumn clothes and long trousers.
It was cold, and you couldn't see it even if you were wearing it. The red brick house had dried and there was no paint, so there was no need to worry about formaldehyde, so she persuaded her parents to move in and try it out.
Zhu Yuanyuan lives alone, and no one can break in when the door is closed, so there is no need to worry about exposing the secret.
The family members are very satisfied with the effect of the heated kang and are happy to live in the house. Zhu Qiang even said to the outside world, "I will try to see if the house is strong first. If it is good, I will tell everyone."
There was no way, there were too many curious people in the tribe, and some people would shamelessly steal the house for the little female at home.
There are four rooms, one for Grandpa Zhu and Grandma Zhu, one for Father Zhu and Auntie Zhu, and one for Zhu Yongyuan and his brother Zhu Yongyuan. Zhu Yuanyuan can occupy one room to herself and is very comfortable.
Even Zhu Yongmeng felt a little resentful, "Why don't my sister build more rooms? Then I don't have to squeeze in with my eldest brother. He snores at night."
"It sounds like you don't snore," Zhu Yuanyuan said curiously.
Zhu Yongmeng didn't feel the slightest bit shy and said confidently, "It's just because we both fight that we need to separate!"
"Ah, you were sleeping soundly before, so I just ignored it," Zhu Yuanyuan promised insincerely, "Don't worry, I will burn some bricks and build two more rooms when I have time in the future."
It's shameful to say that she didn't expect her grandpa and grandma to be willing to move in, so she lost one room.
But can this be said openly?
Of course not!
Therefore, it is inevitable for the second brother to suffer some grievances.
Bai Danian also visited the red brick house after Zhu Yuanyuan's family lived in it. He also thought it was good. "It's not as humid as a cave. I just don't know whether it is strong in rainy and snowy weather and whether it can withstand the attacks of wild beasts."
"I've tried it, and it's no problem with ordinary beasts," Zhu Qiang said. "Mutated beasts are probably more difficult. Fortunately, our tribe is surrounded by mountains, so it's hard for them to get in."
Bai Danian thought further, "If this house is really comfortable to live in, many people will be willing to build it, especially the elderly and young children. But there are so many open spaces in the valley, and not many houses can be built. "
"Then don't build it and continue to live in the cave," Zhu Qiang replied without hesitation.
"You put it lightly," Bai Danian said angrily, "After seeing your house, many people were moved. Furthermore, I heard that sleeping on a heated kang is comfortable during the snow season. Most of the people in the tribe wanted to wanted."
He was very busy every day, and even made a special trip to see the big red brick house. Wasn't it because he heard so many people talking about it that he had to make this trip?
Thinking of this, Bai Danian couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Your Yuanyuan really gave me a big problem."
Zhu Qiang was also a little embarrassed when he heard this, "Yuanyuan is just playful and always likes to tinker with things. I didn't expect that she could build such a good house. If I had known this..."
It’s time to build smaller houses and save more space.
Zhu Yuanyuan didn't know what her father was thinking. When she saw the two adults were worried, she suggested with a smile, "If it doesn't work, just move. The place outside the valley where we grow food is not very open, and there is plenty of room to build houses."
"Don't talk nonsense," Zhu Qiang stopped with a straight face, "The beasts in the snow season will attack the tribe if they are hungry and eager. There is no natural protective barrier. How do you think we should deal with it?"
It doesn't matter if there are few beasts, but it doesn't matter if there are too many beasts. Even if you can win, you have to pay a heavy price.
"I have a lot of medicinal powder here," Zhu Yuanyuan proudly took out a leaf bag from her pocket.
Bai Danian and Zhu Qiang both took a few steps back and shouted nervously, "Be careful, don't let your hands shake."
If it was accidentally released, they would be unconscious for two hours.
"Okay~ I won't make such a stupid mistake," Zhu Yuanyuan said confidently.
Zhu Qiang insisted, "Put it away quickly."
"Listen to your father," Bai Danian agreed, "It's OK to use the medicinal powder occasionally, but it's not OK to use it regularly. If you rely too much on external forces, you will be lazy and not improve.
Combat strength, what will happen when the powder runs out? "
Zhu Qiang issued a soul torture, "Yuanyuan, can you guarantee to always provide a large amount of medicinal powder to the tribe?"
Zhu Yuanyuan didn't dare, and her voice suddenly dropped eight degrees, "No."
"Then don't come up with blind ideas," Zhu Qiang solemnly warned, "We can't let everyone get used to relying on external forces."
"What does it matter if there is no natural protective barrier? We can build a city wall with big stones and green bricks," Zhu Yuanyuan pointed to the courtyard wall outside. "Build a wall that is three times higher and five times wider than this one. The outside of the city wall is covered with thorns. There are patrols on the walls."
"Patrol team?" Bai Danian frowned, "It's snowing heavily in the monsoon. It's too cold to stand on the city wall."
"Build a few rooms on the city wall, where the patrol team can stay and warm themselves by the fire," Zhu Yuanyuan said, "but we need to leave a few holes in the outer wall to monitor the movement outside."
"Sounds good," Bai Danian admitted, "but the place is too big. What if a mutated bird attacks?"
"It's such a cold day, who has nothing to do to stay outside and wait to be attacked by mutant birds?" Zhu Yuanyuan was also speechless.
Bai Danian was silent and said helplessly, "I'm just afraid of an accident. Besides, relocating the tribe is not a trivial matter. Only then did our river valley tribe settle down. It is when we are striving to develop, so how can we move frequently."
"I'm not talking about moving now. You can build the house and city wall first, and have enough protection measures," Zhu Yuanyuan said. "In fact, you can also dig a basement and hide in it if there is an accident."
Bai Danian and Zhu Qiang asked in unison, "Basement?"
"Well, just dig a hole in the house," Zhu Yuanyuan explained briefly without going into detail.
No matter how much you say, it's useless. Some things only know what they look like when you see them with your own eyes.
However, building such a city requires a lot of energy, consumes countless manpower and material resources, and takes several years or even decades. She is not sure whether the leader will agree, let alone whether everyone is willing to do it.
Zhu Yuanyuan expressed her thoughts without reservation, and Bai Danian said thoughtfully, "I have to think about it."
"Think slowly, there's no rush anyway," Zhu Yuanyuan said with a smile, "Just like you said, no more tribes can be moved in the short term."
If you spend so much energy digging a cave, you will have to live there for at least ten or eight years before it is worthwhile.
Bai Danian did not forget to remind him before he left, "Don't talk about those things just now. I will think about it later. If you have other ideas, you can come to me."
"Yeah," Zhu Yuanyuan nodded, "I definitely won't go out and talk nonsense."
If the words were spread, the leader might think that she wanted to use public opinion to promote the construction of the city, and the consequences would be disastrous.
After Bai Danian's back disappeared outside the gate, Zhu Yongmeng immediately went to close the courtyard door, "There are so many people coming every day and it's so noisy that it makes my ears hurt."
"You can choose not to listen," Zhu Qiang said angrily.
Zhu Yongmeng curled his lips and muttered in a low voice, "Here you go again, you treat me like this all the time, I even doubt that you are not my real father."
