Chapter 13: The Rainy Season is Coming, We Have to Move Away from the Straw Hut

It made sense. Tang Guo was speechless.

Besides, she hadn’t planned on keeping the method of building the mud-brick house a secret, so she explained the steps to building it.

Bai listened for a long moment, then suddenly asked, “You can only build the house when the bricks are dry, right?”

Tang Guo nodded. “Yeah. First, you have to use this grinding tool to tamp it down, then dry it before using it.”

“How long will it be in the sun?”

Tang Guo looked up at the big sun in the sky and made an estimate. “With weather like this, it should only take a month, right?”

Bai Ye looked at her with troubled eyes. “I’m afraid you can’t build this house for the time being.”

Tang Guo immediately raised her eyebrows. She had thought that this person was here to help, but she didn’t expect him to be here to undermine her!

Just as she was about to flare up and chase him away, Pebble suddenly interrupted, “Sister! The rainy season in the Beast World is coming soon!”

Tang Guo was stunned. No way. Was she that unlucky?

Bai Ye looked at her. “The rainy season is just around the corner,” he said quietly. “By then these mud bricks of yours will be scattered before they’re ready to dry.”

Tang Guo was dumbfounded. Reality had hit her so hard that she didn’t even want to care about Bai Ye’s mockery.

No matter how ignorant the original owner of this body was, she knew the most basic laws of nature in the Beast World.

The year-round division here was very extreme. Almost all year round, except for winter, it was summer. There would be two rainy seasons around summer. They would last for about a month in succession, and the temperature would gradually change during the rainy season.

For example, during the upcoming rainy season, the temperature would gradually turn cold. As soon as the rainy season stopped, it would immediately enter winter.

And now it was the tail end of summer! The rainy season was almost a month away!

Tang Guo looked at the mud pit that the brats had dug all morning, and her expression was firm. Suddenly, she made a decision.

“It doesn’t matter. Build the bricks now. As much as you can. If you really can’t dry and shape them before the rainy season, then I’ll save them and continue next year!”

Anyway, she had space!

No one could stop her from wanting to live in a big clean house. So what if the heavens didn’t cooperate?

She had to face the difficulties!

Especially since she knew that the rainy season was coming, she was even more determined to move out of the straw hut!

If that dilapidated straw house could not withstand the long rainy season and collapsed from the rain, wouldn’t she have to sleep in the wilderness?

Hence, in the afternoon, she stopped picking wild fruits and vegetables and prepared to step on the mud with those brats.

But as soon as she made a move, Bai Ye grabbed her before she could jump into the mud.

Bai Ye lowered her back to the outside of the mud pit. His gaze swept unobtrusively over her lower abdomen. “It’s hard work,” he said. “Don’t you know how much strength you have?”

Tang Guo was depressed. She didn’t have any strength, but she had superpowers!

But there was no way to say that!

‘Stay here! I’ll help you with as much mud as you need.’

His hand, which had been gripping her shoulder, went behind his back. He twisted it gently, unseen.

Tang Guo subconsciously wanted to refuse, but before she could say anything, she saw the effect of his stepping on the mud. He alone was equivalent to five or six Pebbles. With a few swishes, the mud would be cured!

Hence, she obediently shut up. Time was tight and the mission was important. If she still rejected such an outstanding labor force, wouldn’t she have a hole in her head?

Forget it. In any case, he was happy to help. Besides, she had taught him how to build an earthen house. This was a basic construction that would benefit the tribal people and improve their lives!

He’d traded physical labor for the fruits of her mental labor, and neither of them had taken advantage of the other.

With that in mind, she had no qualms about summoning him. “Let’s dig three more mud holes here.”

Estimating that the mud would be enough, she left the river and wandered through the tribe to observe.

Since she was going to build a house, she naturally had to choose a better location. It would be best if she could bring a small courtyard so that she could plant some crops that she could eat.

This flat area where the Back Cliff tribe lived was actually a triangular area with mountains on two sides and a river on the other.

Tang Guo turned this way and that until she found a clearing near the intersection of two mountains. There were very few stones on the ground, making it relatively easy to clear.

This area was probably more than 200 square meters. If she built a two-room dirt house, she could have a lot more land. It would be perfect for planting things!

As she was planning in her heart, she suddenly sensed someone approaching from behind.

Almost instinctively, she dodged a claw that went for her.

Tang Guo turned abruptly and stared at the werebeast who had tried to attack her. “What do you want?”

She recognized it immediately. It was the birdman who had captured her the day she transmigrated!

“Oh dear, you’re quite the alert little female!”

The bird-man narrowed his eyes and moved closer to her again. “But I like your strength. The more prickly, the more interesting it is to conquer!”

“Ah, I really can’t wait to see the way you collapse into a ball of mud under me and moan. The way you cry and beg me!”
