Today, they didn’t have to hunt, so Xiong Ye took some people to dig out a small pond by his and Zhou Ji’s new home early in the morning.

He had experience with this!

However, digging out a pond this time was much more troublesome compared to last time.

The pond Zhou Ji wanted wasn’t big, but if the pond they dug was too small, the water inside would easily turn into still water… Zhou Ji wanted to connect this pond with the stream nearby so that the water would be fresh. Like that, not only could Xiong Ye bathe and wash prey in the pond right by their doorstep, they could also throw any kind of sewage into the pond without worrying that the water would eventually smell.

Domestic sewage in this era basically consisted of waste water from washing vegetables, rice, and so on. Not only would it not pollute the environment, it was also useful for raising fish when poured back into the pond.

This was a big project, but fortunately there were now many people in the tribe. With the addition of Zhu Zhan and the others, they also didn’t need as many people when they went out to hunt.

Half of the slaves who had just arrived at the Big Bear Tribe now worked on Zhou Ji’s new place every day.

And Xiong Ye was the one who directed their work, “Pile up the mud that you’ve dug up over here.”

“Follow this line to build the foundations, then tamp down the ground everywhere else.”

“We can start to put up the walls tomorrow.”

……

Every night, Zhou Ji would usually teach him how to recognize new words or solve more math problems, but recently, Zhou Ji hadn’t been teaching any of this. Instead, he spoke to Xiong Ye about their new house.

The more Zhou Ji spoke, the more Xiong Ye looked forward to it. He started feeling that the cave they lived in now wasn’t very good.

The ground was cold, and they needed to go outside to use the toilet. It was also troublesome when they wanted to wash things… It would be different once the house was built. Zhou Ji had dug out a pond just outside and also intended to make a… well?

In addition to all that, Zhou Ji also said that they could build several rooms, some of which would be for sleeping, some for cooking, and some for eating and entertaining guests…

Xiong Ye really didn’t know how Zhou Ji had managed to develop such a brain. How could he come up with so many things?

He was a little worried now.

He always felt that Zhou Ji was very weak and had intended to take care of Zhou Ji, but now… Zhou Ji was much more amazing than he was!

Would Zhou Ji stop liking him?

He felt a little uneasy but soon decided that he was thinking too much.

They were mates and would always be together. Zhou Ji was so good to him; there was no need for him to worry.
