Chapter 55 Moving Stones
Whether Yan Junyi is working or taking the kids out to play, he always has a smile on his face. He also frequently touches the Lin Weiwei pattern on his chest, as if afraid others won't know he's Lin Weiwei's beast husband. Since becoming partners with Lin Weiwei, he no longer needs to go back to his old lodgings. Now, like Ye Ying and the others, he either sleeps with the kids at night or sleeps in the space with Lin Weiwei.
After breakfast
"Zexuan, I think the kids are getting bigger, and I'm thinking of building a cave in the yard. Our yard is big enough, so I'll build it next to the cave where we live. When you have time, go and bring back some big stones, and some small stones too. I'll teach you the rest," Lin Weiwei said.
"Okay, I'll go now," Ze Xuan said, taking Yan Junyi and Ze Hao with him.
The eight little ones were taken out to play by their maternal grandparents, four of the little ones went with their paternal grandfather, and Xiao Fuzi also came along.
"Night Shadow, I haven't seen Miaomiao these past few days. She hasn't come over for dinner either. Has Father come to pick her up?" Lin Weiwei asked.
"No, your third brother took her to play on the outskirts of the tribe, hunting small wild animals, about the size of the 'Wangwang Beast' that follows Xinyi and the others, to cheer Miaomiao up. I think the two of them might be getting together," Ye Ying said, massaging Lin Weiwei's shoulders.
Lin Weiwei smiled and said, "Isn't that great? My third brother and your sister getting married would strengthen family ties."
"Yes, Father would be happy if he knew."
On the other side, Zexuan and his group found a rocky mountain with many stones of various sizes. The three of them started moving the stones, transforming into beast forms and using their tails to lift a large stone and carry it home. When the tribe's male beastmen saw this, a group of them joined in. With their help, each person made two trips and brought back the stones they needed.
The orcs moved the stones back, but instead of going home, they waited at Lin Weiwei's house for her instructions. They felt that being able to contribute their strength to Lin Weiwei was a precious opportunity.
Lin Weiwei didn't stand on ceremony with them. She took out blueprints from her spatial storage and began to instruct them, "First, build up the large rocks in the shape shown in this picture. Then tell me what you've done."
Lin Weiwei gave the blueprints to Zexuan, who then discussed the plan with the beastmen. They chose some of the largest stones to reinforce the base, and when the pile was over three meters high, Lin Weiwei called them to stop.
"Alright, all of you get down." Lin Weiwei knew they wouldn't stop there.
After the orcs came down
"Zexuan, take them to that corner over there and bring over those bags." Those are cement; Lin Weiwei put them away this morning.
Lin Weiwei then realized, oh, we also need sand. No cement worker is like that; they always forget things.
"Zehao, take a few men to the stream and get some fine sand. Bring back a large wooden bucket to fill it."
After the sand returned, Lin Weiwei went into the cave, took out the wooden shovel she had bought, and began to teach them how to mix cement with sand. Then, holding small stones, she slowly taught them while explaining...
"First, put some of this mixed sand around the cracks. Then, stuff small stones into the gaps between the larger stones. After that, spread more of this mixed sand on the outside and smooth it out. Be careful and gentle when mixing the sand; don't make a mess. Seal all the cracks, but don't touch the top. Let it dry for two days. After two days, I'll teach you." He then called over Nightshade and told him that if this sand fell on the ground, he should pick it up for them to use; otherwise, it would harden.
Nightshade nodded, indicating that he understood.
After giving them instructions, Lin Weiwei felt exhausted but hoped for success. A few days ago, she had bought a book in her spatial dimension, which was the simplest type of house, resembling a cave, and also suitable for the environment of the beast world.
Many hands make light work. By 5 p.m., they had finished. To thank them, Lin Weiwei gave each of them ten large steamed buns. The orcs who helped were very happy to receive the buns. In their hearts, Lin Weiwei was a fairy. Being able to help the fairy and receiving a gift made them feel like very useful orcs.
After the male orc who had helped left, Lin Weiwei went to check. The ground had been cleaned up, and the stones were stacked even better than she had imagined. So, don't underestimate savages.
