The brick kiln was still hot, and the priest and others also came over to watch the kiln open when they heard the news.

"Open the kiln, let me go to the kiln in a hurry." Qing Shui roared, and rushed over first.

The layer of soil on the top of the brick kiln has cracked under the stimulation of high temperature and cold water, and the top soil layer of the kiln is peeled off along the cracks, and the bricks that have turned blue inside are exposed.

The newly unearthed blue bricks are still blue, and they are very beautiful when stacked together.

Just by looking at the color, you can tell that the bricks in this kiln were fired successfully. Su Yao is completely relieved: "It's a success, take it out and show it to everyone!"

"Okay!" The men yelled and took out pieces of green bricks and handed them to the crowd. They held the bricks and weighed them, only to be amazed: the clods of soil that were burnt out were really as hard as stones as the God Envoy said.

Some people secretly bit the bricks with their teeth, but the bricks were fine, and they ate a mouthful of ashes by themselves.

The blue bricks in the kiln were moved out one after another, and they were neatly stacked on the open space, which was gratifying to look at.

"My lord envoy, shall we use these bricks to build a house?" Qing Shui asked everyone's thoughts quickly.

Su Yao explained with a smile: "These bricks will be used to build a big brick kiln, and when the big brick kiln is built, the fired bricks will be used to build houses for everyone."

"Great."

"The emissary said that a house built of bricks is warm in winter and cool in summer, and we will no longer have to live in caves in the cold winter."

Those who participated in the burning of bricks heard some news, and at this moment they saw the clay burnt into bricks in their own hands, and their inner excitement could not be expressed.

"Okay, everyone pack up and prepare to build the first big brick kiln of our Huangping tribe."

At Su Yao's order, those who held the bricks and those who dug the pit and filled the soil all started to move, and they dug to the depth designed by Su Yao in a short while.

The bottom layer was tamped with wood and stones, and a thick brick wall was built around it like a house. The brick wall is more than six meters high. According to Su Yao's estimate, it can burn 2 yuan of bricks at a time.

The brick kilns that are reused need to be built more carefully. The water intake, chimney and firewood kiln mouth must be planned reasonably. More than 300 soldiers have been busy for a whole day, and only half of the construction is completed. It seems that it will take two days to complete the construction. Completely built.

The priest sat aside and looked at the young men who built the kiln, as well as the busy slaves and women on the flat slope in the distance, his eyes became moist unconsciously.

All the sweet potatoes on the flat slope had grown into the ground. Su Yao stretched his hands into the soil to feel the breath of life, and had a rough grasp of the emergence rate of sweet potatoes.

"A Yao!" Su Yao heard Zhong Li calling him as soon as he got up, but when he looked back, he saw two fat fishes that were as long as arms in his hands.

Su Yao was a little surprised: "Where did you catch the fish? It's quite fat."

"In the puddle, the water is rising in spring, and there are a lot of fish in the puddle looking for food, so I caught two." Zhong Li remembered that Su Yao said that he wanted to eat fish yesterday, so he took the time to go there today. Grasp.

Su Yao took the fish and weighed it. It was estimated to weigh seven or eight catties. The glutton in his heart was hooked up, and he took the fish cheerfully: "I'll cook, and you will come back to eat after you finish lighting the fire."

"Okay." Zhong Li followed Su Yao closely, and did not untie the tied bull until he reached the fork in the road and went to the brick kiln.

I met a lot of busy people along the way, and they all greeted Su Yao warmly, but when I came out of the stadium, I ran into Hua Lian who I hadn't seen for a long time.

"My lord envoy." Hua Lian bowed his head to salute Su Yao.

Su Yao looked at the thin person in front of him and didn't recognize him for a while, until he heard the voice and remembered that there was such a person.

It's just that Su Yao couldn't connect the thin figure in front of him with the energetic young patriarch's wife in his memory.

"En." Su Yao responded and was about to leave. He is not a talkative person, not to mention Hua Lian chatted in front of him several times, so he would not take the initiative to ask him about things.

Unexpectedly, Hua Lian took a step back to stop Su Yao. Seeing Su Yao frowning and looking over, Hua Lian had a look of eagerness on his face: "My lord envoy, can you help me, I don't want to live with Zhong Kuo anymore." .”

Hearing this, Su Yao still didn't understand the situation: "If you don't want to live with Zhong Kuo, just make up. There is no rule in the tribe that you are not allowed to make up."

"We can't make up." Hua Lian suddenly raised his head when he heard this, and Su Yao saw several bruises on his face, the most obvious one was near the temple near the eyes.

Seeing Su Yao's eyes, Hua Lian immediately lowered his head and said nonuo: "If you can't reconcile, Zhong Kuo will kill me, my lord envoy."

Although he doesn't like Hua Lian's petty appearance, Su Yao still can't tolerate such things as beating his wife. It's just that he can't intervene at will because it concerns the patriarch. He can only find a way to get around: "I see, you go back first .”

Hua Lian still wanted to say something, but seeing Zhongli's indifferent eyes, he could only shut up. Now he really regrets what he secretly targeted Su Yao before. If he had known that Su Yao is now...

Hua Lian stopped his thoughts, what was the use of knowing, he was also an orphan, in order not to be squeezed out by the tribe like Su Ya and Zhong Li, he climbed up to Zhong Kuo early on, and lived a few years of comfortable life by the way.

It's just that now it seems that this comfortable life has to be exchanged with a price, isn't it time for him to pay the price.

Su Yao returned to the cave with two big fat fish. The advantage of the increase in cultivation is that he can use his spiritual power casually for work, not afraid that the spiritual power will not be able to renew the weakened chicken.

I don't know what species this fish is, so it's a bit difficult to handle, but judging from Su Yao's experience of eating fish, this fish must taste good.

Cut the two fish into pieces and made three ways to eat them. The first one is the boiled fish that Su Yao has been craving for a long time. Bean sprouts and side dishes are produced by spiritual power. The tender and raw fish fillets are wrapped in potato powder and cooked. Splash hot oil with fresh chili and large Chinese prickly ash, the spicy and delicious taste soars to the top of the sky, and the fragrant Su Yao swallows and swallows again and again.

The second is stewed fish. Fry the surface of the fish skin until golden and then add boiling water to stew it. Fresh fish only needs simple seasoning to bring out the most delicious taste.

The last is Su Yao’s favorite way of eating. Cut the fish into small pieces, wrap them in potato starch and batter, marinate for a while, then fry them in a frying pan to form fish pieces. The fried fish pieces are fragrant and crispy. You won't get tired of eating a large plate with your hands.

The staple food is rice cracker rice, and the steamer made of bamboo has a unique fragrance. The hot rice cracker rice has just been steamed, and Zhongli came back. He knew that Su Yao liked to be clean, so he washed the mud on his shoes before he came back.

"Ah Yao, I'm back." Zhong Li who was with Su Yao was always gentle and tolerant, with only a bit of paranoid gloom in his brows and eyes.

After all, it was Su Yao, who was like the sun, who warmed the big ice cube in Zhongli's cold winter twilight, giving him a bit of freshness.

"Clean up the wooden slips on the table and prepare to eat." Su Yao took out the clear stewed fish soup from the pot, and the milky white soup exuded a strong aroma.

"It's delicious. It's been a long time since I ate fish." Su Yao took a piece of fish and put it in his mouth, squinting his eyes in satisfaction and sighing.

Zhongli slipped his Adam's apple, and said softly: "If you like it, I'll dig a mud pond nearby, catch more fish and bring them back to raise. You can eat as much as you want."

Su Yao shook his head: "It's too troublesome. I have to add water to feed every day. It's better to go to the river to catch it when I want to eat."

"That's right." Zhong Li said with a smile: "I know where the fish are bigger than one head, and then we will go together."

If Su Yao was perceptive enough, he would have discovered that everything Zhongli did and every word he said tied the two of them together, but Su Yao was too wary of Zhongli, so he didn't notice Zhongli's ulterior motives at all.

"Alright, let's go together after we finish our work." Su Yao ate the fish nuggets: "By the way, after dinner, let's go to the patriarch's house and call the priest by the way."

Surprise flashed in Zhongli's eyes: "Did something happen?"

Su Yao said casually: "I met Hua Lian when I came back today. He seemed to be beaten by that kid Zhong Kuo. Since Hua Lian put down his face and begged me, he must be unable to live on. I don't care about it." .”

"Yeah." Zhongli is not interested in participating in other people's affairs, he just wants to be with Su Yao.

These days the tribe is very busy with work, children have to learn characters and simple planting knowledge, adults are busy burning bricks to raise seedlings, and every family eats very late.

In such a busy day, Zhong Kuo, who wandered around in and out of the cave with nothing to do every day, seemed particularly inappropriate.

Zhong Kuo looked out of the cave with a grim expression. He was the only one in the family of four who had nothing to do in the cave. He wanted to go out but couldn't bear the strange eyes of others, so he stayed in the cave without working and had no food.

Four people eat the food earned by three people's labor. After all, the aura of the former patriarch has been erased, and Zhong Kuo's status is no different from ordinary people, which makes him feel even more upset.

Throughout the cold winter, Zhong Kuo's mood became more and more extreme, and he would lose his temper and throw things if something went wrong. Zhong Ta and Aunt Nan saw that their son was feeling uncomfortable, but they didn't stop them. After a long time, throwing things could no longer relieve him. Feeling irritable in his heart, Zhong Kuo vented his temper on Hua Lian.

Zhong Kuo can't beat his parents, no matter how unfilial he is, he knows that it's not easy for his parents, but Hua Lian, who has always been soft and weak and relies on him to live, is different.

Zhong Kuo knew the reason why Hualian followed him. He had always liked Hualian, but before Su Yao came, Hualian was the most beautiful person in the tribe, which greatly satisfied his vanity, so he was very fond of Hualian. Very accommodating.

Now that he has lost the splendor of the past, Hualian has also lost his "most beautiful" status. In Zhong Kuo's eyes, Hualian has become his property, and it is right to let him beat and scold him.

So I don’t know since when, Hualian’s body was covered with scars. At the beginning, Zhong Kuo was still afraid and only dared to hit the places on his body that were easy to hide. Since the priest talked to Zhongta last time, Zhong Kuo had a good meal. lesson.

Zhong Kuo thought that Hua Lian urged the priest to talk to Zhongta to sue him, so he was scolded.He was convinced of his guess, and he beat Hua Lian even more mercilessly, even his father's dissuasion could not stop him.

It's just that he didn't know that after listening to the priest's words, Zhongta felt that he couldn't protect him, so he would teach him a lesson, but it was too late for Zhongta to teach him a lesson, which had the opposite effect.

The people in the sunset were warm, but Zhong Kuo felt very cold in his heart. Looking at Hua Lian who was cooking outside, he picked up the bamboo tube and threw it away.
