Chapter 272 Angry Red Clay

"Add lime, how many times have I told you that you must fill all the gaps with lime, so why don't you remember?"

By the city wall, Hongtu, the captain of the engineering team, shouted at the top of his voice, feeling helpless towards the tourists who were scolded and only knew how to look at him.

Since Chenbei ordered the accelerated construction of the city wall, Hongtu has been transferred from the trading area. As for the remaining projects in the trading area, it is enough to hand over to several veterans of the engineering team.

The people in the engineering team have been working in for a long time and are easy to use. Just give me a command and you will naturally know what to do.

But these tourists are different. First of all, they have pale faces and thin skin, and have been hungry for a long time and are relatively weak.

Secondly, they had no experience in building and used to live in simple wooden houses, thatched huts, and even caves.

It is not easy to direct these novice workers to work. Hongtu is a simple and honest person, and has become much more irritable recently and his voice has become louder.

A tourist carried the stones and piled them onto the city wall at will, but did not place them well, because he thought that the city wall would just pile up the stones.

Hongtu was furious and walked over directly, grabbed his ragged clothes, and cursed: "The city wall is not a broken stone pestle, inlay! Do you understand the inlay? Who told you to pile it up?"

"I...I don't know..." The tourist was almost scared to tears, and he felt very wronged.

"I'll see, I'll only do it once. If anyone piles up again, I won't give you food at noon!"

I heard that I would not give it to dinner, so the tourists were anxious and looked at it with wide eyes.

For them, eating is the top priority, and they will starve to death without food.

Red earth pushed the tourist aside, then picked up the stone, first applied a thick layer of lime mortar under it, then found a good angle, put the stone down, and the gap with other stones was very small.

Then, red clay built the walls with stones one by one. He could always find the right angle and inlaid the stones with different edges and angles, so that the walls looked very flat.

After the lime mortar is filled, the stones are perfectly bonded together without any gaps.

"Have you seen it clearly?"

The tourists did not dare to speak, so they could only nod.

"Keep working!"

Under the command of Hongtu, slowly, these tourists finally did a little better, but Hongtu was still dissatisfied with everything and his face was dark all day long.

In the distance, Chen Bei saw Hongtu’s angry look and laughed out loud.

"Why didn't you find out before that Hongci is so irritable, hahaha."

The elder beside him stood with a crutch and said slowly: "Hongtu is serious in doing things, of course he doesn't like those tourists' random things."

"I feel relieved to have him stare at me."

The elder is getting older, but he is in good spirits. He has to walk around the tribe every day. When he sees something he is not satisfied with, he can scold him loudly.

The Mang tribe is the oldest, and everyone respects him very much. He doesn't dare to retaliate after being scolded, so he can only do it in shame as he asks.

Chen Bei looked at the sky and said to the elder: "The sun is big outside, so we'd better go back first."

The elder said dissatisfiedly: "Captain, I am not old enough to move. What are the members of the Mang tribe afraid of the sun?"

Chen Bei smiled and said, "Yes, yes, the elder is right, but I still have meat cooked in the pot, and I don't know if it's burned. The elder accompanied me back and take a look."

When the elder, who had always cherished food, heard that the meat was about to burn, he suddenly became anxious and said, "Then go back quickly, you can't burn it."

Chen Bei smiled, approached the elder without any trace, and then helped him walk home.

In order to prove that he is not old, this stubborn old man is not supported by him, and only Chenbei can coax him.

When he returned to Chenbei's yard, the elder found that there was indeed meat stew in the pot, but there was still a lot of water, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Chenbei put the meat in the pot in a basin and stewed it in the pottery for several hours. The meat was stewed so crispy.

The two of them shared the meat and sat in the yard for a while, weeding the vegetables and catching insects.

The elder gradually became a little sleepy, and he was old, and he was not as energetic as young people. He needed a nap at noon.

Chen Bei sent him back to his house and let him sleep.

The elder covered his soft rabbit-skinned mattress and muttered, "I'm old and useless. I used to hate sleep the most, but now I can't sleep."

The elder felt that sleeping was a waste of life. He wanted to spend more time on tribe affairs and do more for tribes while still alive.

Chen Bei comforted him again, just like coaxing a child. When the elder fell asleep, he retreated and closed the door.

Chenbei is a person who values ​​emotions. He first established a tribe after eight years. After eight years, he had a deep relationship.

He hopes that the elder can live longer and see with his own eyes how powerful the Mang tribe will be in the future.

After leaving the elder's house, Chenbei walked towards Qingzhu's yard again.

As soon as he entered the yard, he saw the twin sisters squatting and bent over and weeding the herbs, very seriously.

Seeing Chenbei coming, the twin sisters stood up quickly and said, "Hello, leader."

Chen Bei smiled and said, "You guys keep going."

"yes!"

The twin sisters felt a little aggrieved. They were obviously sent to warm the bed for the leader, but now they were sent here to work.

But who made Chenbei the leader? They could only continue to bend down and work.

In the corner of the medicine garden, a huge flower bloomed very brightly, exuding a charming fragrance, but was surrounded by a fence.

A moth with a fist flew over with the fragrance and landed on the flowers, trying to suck nectar.

"Click!"

The huge flower immediately closed, and countless barbs pierced the moth, then fell into the center of the flower, slowly dissolved by the secretion fluid.

Then, the huge flowers opened again, looking brighter than before, with a richer fragrance, attracting more bugs, birds and other small animals.

This is a giant mouth flower. A long time ago, Chenbei and Baicao dug it back when they went to find seeds. They were planted in the yard of Qingzhu. Although it looks scary, the juice can be used as medicine and the medicine is very effective.

Chen Bei looked at the giant-mouthed flower for a while, smiled, and then walked into the room.

In the room, Qingzhu was writing something on the animal skin scroll with an animal brush. She wanted to record all the recent events of the Mang tribe on the animal skin scroll to form "history" for future generations to read.

She wrote very seriously and focusedly, and even Chenbei was not able to find it close to her.

What she wrote now was about the first affiliated tribe of the Mang tribe. She described the situation of the Butterfly Tribe in detail, and then drew the totem pattern of the Butterfly Tribe next to it.

It was the pattern of a butterfly, very beautiful.

After finishing the painting, Qingzhu breathed a sigh of relief and put down the animal brush. Until then, when she looked up, she saw Chen Bei staring at her smilingly.

"Chief, when did you come?"

"Just arrived, just arrived."
