survival in the wilderness

Chapter 25 Rebuilding Home
No matter how sad you are, you still have to face the status quo.

This is how their ancestors migrated again and again and established their homes, which has continued to this day.

Almost all the caves in the tribe have been destroyed, and it is imperative to find a safe place to dig caves again.

But the great migration is even more difficult, and you don't know what dangers you will encounter along the way.

Many people die with every migration, and more children die along the way.

Lin Yan's face was tense, and Mao Mu walked around the tribe in his arms.

After thinking for a long time, she gathered the famous people in the tribe together.

Huang Ye is the longest-lived in the tribe. She speaks with great prestige, and she was the first to say, "Lin Yan, what do you want us to do?"

Everyone else looked at Lin Yan, a small person with countless wonderful ideas, which changed the status quo of the Sun Tribe.

People love and respect Lin Yan. She has proved herself to people through practice.

Now it's time to bring people together.

According to the past tradition, when encountering such a situation, migration is bound to be carried out.

But this time, they hoped that Lin Yan could find a better way.Migration is too difficult, and the loss will be even greater.

These days, everyone can see Lin Yan's performance. She is someone who is born knowing her and can lead them to live a good life.

Lin Yan looked around and asked, "I want to know what everyone thinks, and what are you going to do next?"

"If you have no choice, you can only move and find a new place to start over." Seeing that everyone was silent, Ah Lan could only stand up, "Lin Yan, is there anything you can do? If you can, everyone doesn't want to move. It's coming, we can't get through without food, without caves."

Seeing that everyone was staring at him eagerly, Lin Yan said, "There is no solution, or we will have to work hard for a while."

"What method? As long as it can be done, there is no need to worry about hard work." Heitu said immediately, looking at Lin Yan eagerly, hoping that she could find a way without moving.

Migration has to start all over again, which means death and endless risks. They have been stable for some days and they don't want to live that kind of life.

"Migration cannot fundamentally solve the problem. Even in a new place, there will still be various disasters that cannot be avoided."

As soon as Lin Yan finished speaking, Heitu immediately agreed: "That's right, that's it, what can you do?"

Huang Ye scolded: "Don't rush to talk, listen to Lin Yan."

Heitu calmed down, and hurriedly promised: "Okay, Lin Yan said, I promise not to interrupt."

The crowd quieted down, quietly waiting for Lin Yan's solution.

Lin Yan didn't stop talking, and continued, "Since we can't avoid it, it's the same everywhere, why don't we build a strong home, protect it together, and resist the herd of beasts together."

"How to build it?" Huang Ye hit the nail on the head. She has experienced too much. It's not that her predecessors never thought about building it by herself, but they can't match the strength of the herd.

"Underground caves are not suitable for living, and they are easy to be trampled when the beasts come. We still need to build houses on the ground. Now that time is running out, let's build a few big houses to survive the cold season. When the next hot season comes, Then build a new house for each family. The house I want to build is like this. The walls are made of bricks and stones, the roof is built with wood as beams, a layer of fence is laid, and a layer of hay and mud is covered. To keep warm, put tiles on top..."

As Lin Yan spoke, he drew the structure of the house she was talking about on the slate.

"Everyone has to participate. First build the main body, and the interior layout will be done slowly after the exterior is finished. The house must be built before the cold season."

"Is this kind of house solid?" Alan asked hesitantly.Although it looks very good, it is better than living in a cave, but if it is not safe, it will not work.

"The herds of beasts are also afraid of the cold in the cold season, and few come out to move around. Building a house has a certain defensive effect, but if you want to block the herds of beasts, you have to find another way. Besides, the herds of beasts know how to avoid a tree when they see it. I will hit it directly, and if I see a wall, I won’t be stupid to hit it hard.”

Heitu smiled and said, "That's right, the herd is not stupid. If this house can be built, it must be good. Lin Yan, what do you mean by bricks and tiles?"

Lin Yan explained while drawing: "Bricks and tiles are made by firing. Bricks are harder and about the same size, so they can be piled up much faster. The tiles are laid on the roof so that the water can flow down when it rains."

Everyone chattered and asked all their questions, and Lin Yan answered them one by one.

After more than an hour, everyone made a decision and it was done.

This time the herd attacked the tribe and killed 35 people and injured a hundred or so. No one wants to see this kind of thing happen again.

Anyway, it is to build a new house, and it is also possible to build a house.

After making a decision, let people start to clean up the dilapidated homes.

Use one afternoon to clean up the house first, and pick out all the things that can be used.Especially food is very important.

Others set to work.

Lin Yan, Huang Ye, Ah Lan and Heitu began to make plans for building the next house.

First divide the young and strong in the tribe into groups of 20 people, pick out ten groups to dig foundations, ten groups to chop wood, ten groups to burn bricks, and ten groups to burn tiles.

For the remaining people, the elderly are responsible for cooking and preparing food, and the relatively strong people mow the grass with the children.

Lin Yan was in charge of technical breakthroughs, Huang Ye was in charge of assigning people to work, Alan was in charge of logistics, and Heitu led people to hunt food for everyone.

Suddenly, Lin Yan thought of Lao Lin, he was good at fishing, so he decided to ask him to lead some people to fish.

There are a lot of fish in the Sun River, so it's good to catch more.Now there is a lack of everything, and everything that can satisfy the hunger is good.

That night, everyone in the tribe knew that a new home was going to be built, and they were full of expectations.

Although I still don't know what the new home looks like, but after reading Lin Yan's simple drawing, it should be good after listening to her description.

Starting tomorrow is another brand new day, everyone will work together and we will be able to build the house before the cold season.

Lin Yan's preliminary plan was to build a hundred courtyards. He didn't know when the cold season would come, so he built them in batches first, with the first batch of ten courtyards.

The design of the house is not big. There are only four rooms in a courtyard. Each room is eight meters long and about four meters wide. There is an open space at the front and back.

The address was chosen in Pikayuan, not far from Lin Yan's home. The grass in that area was mowed, just to free up an open space for easy use.It's not too far from Sun River.

The reason why it was not built on the original site was that if the Sun River flooded, this area would be flooded.

The pika was originally different, and the whole terrain was elevated a bit, so it could avoid the disaster of flooding if it was built again in the future.

The place is big enough, enough to be tossed about, so let's plan it like this for the time being, and make improvements later.

The next day, the sky was slightly bright, and the excited people who couldn't sleep got up and moved according to the arrangement of last night.

　I modified the text a bit, changing the desolate beast in the previous article to a fierce beast.They will be collectively referred to as beasts in the future.
