Chapter 43: Great News
The two again, under Wu Yue's guidance, dug out the upper and lower steps, and likewise built mud walls of equal height.
Finally they began to roof the house; the bottom of the A‑shaped roof is a layer of sturdy wooden roofing, then layers of large leaves, dry grass, and mud mixed with dry grass, and finally a layer of woven thick grass matting, fixed with wood.
It took only an afternoon, and Wu Yue's house was finished; looking at the semi‑pit house, she couldn't help sighing, finally having a home of her own.
After the house was built, Wu Yue, in good spirits, took her friends to tour her little nest; though called a nest, it was much larger and taller than Qing Hua's grass shed, spacious and handsome.
The steps also made the interior space large, and the house would not feel dark; Qing Hua and Qingcao fell in love with it the moment they entered.
Qingcao's eyes sparkled: "Yue, your house is much bigger than our cave."
She jogged a little inside the house: "I also want to build a house like this, Yue, you must help me."
She said while excitedly grabbing Wu Yue's arm and shaking it.
Being shaken by her gave Wu Yue a headache; she quickly nodded and agreed: "Help, help, help—I'll help you and Qing Hua Elder Sister."
Qing Hua's two companions also put aside their contempt; their previous dissatisfaction vanished, and upon hearing that this little female would help them build such a beautiful grass shed, their eyes filled with gratitude.
Heaven knows how stifling it is for a burly male to live cramped in a tiny grass shed that fits only one person lying down.
Only when expanding the house's area will you realize the advantage of living at the tribe's edge.
The area around Qing Hua's home had plenty of open space; taking his companions, he chose a new open space, and this time Wu Yue designed for them four houses, with the stairway as center, two on each side.
With the design set, the remaining construction was left to Qing Hua's companions; Wu Yue only gave guidance when building the roof.
After Qing Hua's house was completed, it completely stirred the pure‑human residential area, and Wu Yue's name gradually spread throughout the tribe.
Everyone knows that the newly arrived frail pure‑human female can build a remarkably wonderful house that does not exceed the regulated height, is beautiful and spacious, so even tall Beastman Warriors can stand upright inside.
Now that she had her own little nest, Wu Yue gathered her belongings and moved in.
Speaking of belongings, looking at the few bundles of dried bitter greens in her hand, Wu Yue felt bitter; she was truly destitute.
The bare house, with food piled in the corner, she crouched on the ground and wiped her face: "System, this kind of life offers no hope of dancing."
The system gave a dry laugh: "Deng deng deng deng~ Dear host, hello, your invincibly cute, beautiful, kind, understanding, moe moe Tongzi is back! Are you surprised? Is it unexpected?"
Wu Yue's face went blank: "Oh!"
Tongzi: "And then?"
Wu Yue: "Then there is no then."
"Host, I originally had a huge piece of good news to tell you, but seeing your half‑dead state, the system has no mood to say it."
The system, tsundere, hugged its own short, chubby claws.
Wu Yue swept away her previous gloom, propped herself on her knees and jumped up, eyes shining like a pug seeing a bone: "Handsome Tongzi, I really miss you to death, so."
"What huge piece of good news?"
I'm really excited today, seeing many familiar little partners, I love you all so much, hahaha, I'll correct the typos later, I'm serious, hehe.
