The combination of mosquito killer tank and mugwort is really effective.
After adding these two things together, the mosquito problem that troubled everyone in the Qingque tribe when they slept at night was finally reduced to a minimum.
And seeing the combined power of these two things, the frogs near the Qingque tribe suffered disaster in the next few days.
All members of the Qingque tribe mobilized to arrest them.
Even the tribesmen who went out hunting would grab two frogs and stuff them into their animal skin bags on their way back.
So much so that the original buzzing sound of mosquitoes in the tribe has disappeared, but the noise of the tribe at night has not diminished at all. The croaking of frogs has replaced the buzzing sound of mosquitoes.
As soon as night came, the Qingque tribe was immersed in the sound of frogs.
However, compared to mosquitoes, which not only make an annoying buzzing sound, but also bite people and cause itchy red envelopes, the croaking of frogs is not unacceptable, and if you listen carefully, the frogs' croaks rise and fall continuously. , don’t have a feeling yet.
After solving the mosquito problem, the Qingque tribe did nothing special in the next few days.
Besides building houses is building walls.
These two projects are relatively large and require a short time. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, making everyone reluctant to work in the bright sun.
Every time they work, the members of the Qingque tribe will stand under the shadow of a tree to rest.
This is not because the people of the Qingque tribe became lazy because of their abundant food and adequate clothing.
It is purely a matter of the Qingque tribe having slaves and bonded beasts working there.
The bond beast can transport stones, and the slaves can carry stones. The Qingque tribe's job is only to mine stones. After learning the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, mining stones is not difficult for the Qingque tribe.
The job of the people of the Qingque tribe is to build tall walls and a large number of houses out of stones.
When building walls and houses, Yang Cheng showed his plan to everyone. Everyone knew that the wall built this time was much higher than the inner wall, at least as high as a tiger bear, fifteen meters high.
The number of houses has also increased, with more than twenty new houses to be built.
Of course, not all of these houses are used for living. The number of tribes has not grown so fast. Only ten large houses need to be built to ensure that each tribe member has a spacious space to live.
Some of the remaining houses are used as warehouses, kitchens, etc., some are used as rice warehouses and granaries in the future, and some are used as pottery-burning houses for Lulu.
Kilns are always built in the open air and are easily damaged by natural disasters.
Rome was not built in a day.
Although these buildings to be built are necessary, Yang Cheng did not think about completing the construction of these houses at once. This is a long-term project, and the priority is slow. Some houses are not particularly needed and can be built until next year.

"Mai, how long until we get to the tribe?"
Changguo wiped the sweat from his forehead, pulled the clothes on his shoulders, then pulled the vines tied to his shoulders, and asked Mai breathlessly.
One end of the vine was tied to his shoulders, and the other end was tied to a wooden raft behind.
The rafts were filled with brown copper ore, as well as the carcasses of some ferocious beasts hunted along the way.
Not only Changguo, but every member of the Qingque tribe who went out had vines tied on their shoulders. The vines were connected to the rafts, which were filled with copper ore.
There were many animal skin bags placed on the body of the bond beast. The weight of the animal skin bags was so heavy that the vines tied with the animal skin bags made deep grooves on the body of the bond beast.
And every step the bonded beast takes, it will leave a deep footprint on the ground.
They were the trading team from the Qingque Tribe. After returning to the tribe and resting for a while, Yang Cheng sent Mai to take the expedition team to the Stone Tribe for the first time to trade copper ore.
Mai, who was at the front of the team, was a little tired and out of breath after dragging the copper ore for so long, even though he was a sixth-grade totem warrior.
Hearing the question of fruit growth, Mai put down the vines on her shoulders, took a breath, looked to the side, and climbed up a high slope.
Mai looked at Gaopo for a while, and looked happy when he came back.
Everyone was shocked when they saw the smile on his face.
"Mai, what's good, are we almost there?"
Changguo asked quickly.
"Yes, right in front, I saw the familiar stone, the one we marked when we first came out."
Mai nodded happily.
In this world without GPS navigation, Yang Cheng was not sure that he would be able to reach the Stone Tribe just by relying on Yang Cheng's map, which did not have a standard scale.
So Master Wu, who is smart and wise, thought of the simplest way to make a mark.
Of course, marking is not just about drawing a mark on a stone or tree. In this primitive forest, there is no guarantee that the mark will be suddenly trampled and lost by a passing, immoral beast. .
Therefore, Yang Cheng also determined based on the terrain characteristics, such as which mountain to go to from a very far distance, or which boulder with a special look to go towards. When he got nearby, he determined the direction based on the marks made.
Although this is slower, it is more reliable.
The first two times I went out, the first time there was a witch bone. There are two dots on the witch bone, so you won't get lost.
The second time, when Yang Cheng was riding on Yanying's back, he had observed the terrain near the Qingque tribe, so he knew where to go when he went out.
"Then what are you waiting for? Mai, let's leave right now!"
Upon hearing that they were about to return to the tribe, every tribesman in the expedition team became energized, and strength suddenly came into being in their tired bodies.
Dragging a load of copper ore, he rushed forward.
The feeling of returning to the tribe is very strong, and the speed is also much faster.
Full speed ahead, just two hours.
The expedition team arrived in front of the tribe. From a distance, Mai and others saw the much higher walls and the diverted rivers meandering through the tribe. The terrain was originally high in the east and low in the west. It has all turned into a great plain, with the fruit trees and blossoming flowers on the nearby hillsides slowly swaying in the breeze...
Well!
What's going on here?
Where is the original Qingque tribe?
How did it become like this?
Mai, Changguo and other people on the expedition widened their eyes and couldn't believe what was happening in front of them.
Why is it that when you travel far away, your home changes drastically and is renovated?
Many people in the expedition team rubbed their eyes, feeling like they were seeing hallucinations.
"Hey, the expedition team is back!"
At this time, among the tribesmen who were building a wall not far away, someone discovered Mai and others who were in a daze outside the tribe, and immediately shouted loudly!
