Chapter 45 Building a Wall
After finishing their roasted meat, Sen and Yu prepared to continue hunting in the valley. Winter food was far from enough, and they also wanted to go further to see if they could exchange some salt for the little female.
She ate very little at noon today, which made Sen and Yu very worried.
After the little beastmen finished eating, they all went out to find things to survive the winter. When the little beastmen who had helped her move trees that morning walked past her, Ruan Mianmian suddenly remembered what she had been thinking about earlier.
"Sen, Yu. Wait a moment, I have something to tell you."
Sen and Yu stopped going out when they heard that Ruan Mianmian wanted to see them.
They walked up to Ruan Mianmian and said, "Ruan Ruan, is there something you need? Or is there something you want that you need us to find for you?"
Ruan Mianmian looked at them and asked, "Are we going to spend the winter in this cave? Or are we going to move somewhere else?"
Although she had already talked to that little beastman in the morning, Ruan Mianmian still asked again to confirm, unwilling to give up.
"Ruanruan, is there anything you're unhappy about with this cave? If so, you can tell us, and Sen and I will see how we can fix it. But this is our tribe, and we won't be leaving unless something unexpected happens."
Sen nodded in agreement upon hearing Yu's words.
When Ruan Mianmian heard him say that, she made up her mind.
“I saw that they collected so much firewood to get through the winter, but it still wasn’t enough. If we’re not planning to move when winter comes, then we’ll need to modify this cave.”
Sen and Yu looked at each other, wondering what "remodeling" meant.
Seeing their bewildered expressions, Ruan Mianmian couldn't help but sigh and rub her forehead. This is the generation gap!
"Do you believe in me? That you will support me unconditionally no matter what I do?"
Hearing this, Sen couldn't help but say, "We have sworn to follow you, and you can make all the decisions regarding the tribe. Originally, we were supposed to hold a general meeting in the tribe to explain this to everyone, but due to the special circumstances of our tribe, we didn't tell everyone. But you can do whatever you want."
Yu couldn't help but nod in agreement when she heard Sen's words.
Hearing this, Ruan Mianmian felt relieved.
"I want to build a wall for the cave, and I might need your help, as well as the help of the little beastmen. What we urgently need right now is clay and straw," Ruan Mianmian said after thinking for a long time.
“I know you’re probably talking about the grass that grows on the plains, but what is clay?” Yu asked after thinking for a moment.
"Clay is yellow soil, softer and stickier than regular soil."
Just as Sen and Yu were pondering where to find clay, another little beastman overheard their conversation and spoke up: "I think I know where the kind of clay the female was talking about is."
Ruan Mianmian looked at the little beastman in front of her and quickly asked him a question.
The little orc looked at them and said, "Didn't Black run off before? When we went out to look for him, there was that kind of soil that the female mentioned on the other side of the valley. Black was covered in it, and it was sticky when we washed it off. We even said that the soil was really strange."
Upon hearing what the little beastman said, Ruan Mianmian knew it must be clay.
"Is that place far away? Could you find some people to come over so I can take a look?"
Kun, the little orc, readily agreed.
He is an eagle-like beastman. Because he can fly, the task of finding someone was assigned to him last time.
Now that the necessary materials for building the wall had been found, Ruan Mianmian's project proceeded in full swing.
Since what the little female mentioned was of great importance, Mori and Yu, after careful consideration, decided to abandon their plans to go hunting this afternoon and devote all their energy to helping the little female find out what the mysterious "wall" she was talking about really was.
Kun and Yu spread their wings and flew high to find the clay they needed, while Sen carefully let Ruan Mianmian stand on his broad snake head and slowly swam out of the valley.
For Ruan Mianmian, this was the first time in two days that she had stepped out of this valley.
The world outside the valley is vastly different from the inside; as far as the eye can see, the land is already covered in golden hues.
On the vast plains, swathes of reeds sway in the wind like waves, as if dancing a joyful dance. However, the distance is shrouded in darkness and gloom, giving one a sense of inexplicable fear.
Sen led Ruan Mianmian deep into the heart of the plains.
According to the little female, the demand for this straw is extremely high, and if it is only collected around the valley, it is very likely to expose the location of the valley.
Therefore, Mori led her to the very center of the plain.
Even though the amount of straw here has decreased, it is difficult for other orcs to notice anything amiss.
Sen used the snake's tail to roll up a large patch of reeds, and Ruan Mianmian sat on the ground and wove the reeds into a long braid.
Sen watched as the little female quickly twisted the straw into a long rope. He marveled at her intelligence, but also thought that she was, after all, a goddess; she could manifest a touch of divine power in everything she did.
If Ruan Mianmian knew that simply braiding a pigtail was a miracle, she would definitely laugh so hard she couldn't stand up straight.
How incredibly lacking in knowledge this orc continent is!
I don't know how long he'd been weaving, but anyway, Sen had pulled up all the reeds nearby. Looking at this large open space, Sen thought to himself that it was good he was smart, otherwise any beastman would know there was something wrong with such a large open space.
It's autumn now, and winter is just around the corner, so it's best to be cautious.
Ruan Mianmian coiled the straw into a large ball, and Sen rolled it up and took Ruan Mianmian back to the valley.
After they returned, Yu and Kun flew back, their huge claws gripping the clay wrapped in giant leaves.
Ruan Mianmian instructed them to place the straw and clay by the lake in the valley, and then directed everyone to start trying to build a wall.
