Since the formal visit to the tribe leader, Ye Xing and his party were completely accepted by the rabbit tribe and gradually established a new base in the valley.

In the following days, Tu Bai disappeared to study charcoal, and no one knew where he went. Ye Xing was happy to have some peace and quiet, and walked around the tribe for a few rounds.

She found that the people of the Rabbit Tribe were really hardworking and seemed to love labor by nature, which was completely different from the people of the Tiger Tribe she had seen before, which made Ye Xing very happy. Then she asked Bao Sanwa and others to spare no effort to teach them and try to make the Rabbit Tribe people accustomed to the new lifestyle in the shortest possible time.

During this period, she redesigned the traps and mechanisms according to the characteristics of the nearby terrain, and rearranged the entire valley using the idea of ​​building passes and defense cities in her previous life.

The defense map was drawn on a piece of deerskin. In order to make it easier for them to understand, Ye Xing drew it in great detail and even thoughtfully marked the name and meaning of each mechanism.

After drawing the picture, she called together several leaders of the Rabbit Tribe, namely the tribe leader and his sons, to discuss the construction.

This defense map stunned everyone. They huddled together to study it for a long time. Although they had never heard of many of the words before, it did not prevent them from understanding that this map was for defending the safety of the tribe. When they looked up at Ye Xing, they could not hide the shock and admiration in their eyes.

"With this map, we won't be afraid of beast tides anymore!"

"It's not just the beast tide. I don't think even orcs from other tribes can easily enter our tribe."

The old patriarch listened to his sons' admiration and looked at Ye Xing thoughtfully.

Ye Xing faced his scrutiny calmly and expressed her feelings directly: "The Rabbit Tribe will become richer and richer in the future. If we want to survive for a long time, we must have the ability to protect ourselves. We can never rely on others!"

In the future, she will need to utilize the manpower and material resources of the entire rabbit tribe, and offer enough temptation and deterrence.

The old patriarch pondered for a while, then ordered his sons to follow Ye Xing's arrangements and build the Rabbit Clan's own defenses.

Before leaving, he looked at Ye Xing deeply, and a trace of worry and panic flashed in his turbid eyes, but in the end he did not say a word of objection.

Ye Xing pretended not to see it. The facts will prove everything and there is no need for further explanation now.

From then on, the entire rabbit tribe went out into the field. Those with greater strength were responsible for digging holes and chopping trees, while those with less strength were responsible for weaving and making things. Everyone became busy under the leadership of Leopard Sanwa and the others.

Although there is strength in numbers compared to the past, progress is not fast. Firstly, everyone is learning from scratch, and secondly, the available tools are really simple and pitiful.

If the men here did not have orc blood and were not physically stronger than ordinary people, they would have been able to chop trees forever with just a few stone knives and axes.

If you encounter more difficult situations, Ye Xing will have to take action personally.

Once again, Ye Xing used his inner strength to push down a big tree. He was so tired that he sat on the ground sweating and breathing heavily. He missed Lao Wang in the blacksmith shop in the border town very much.

Looking at the devastation before her, she now deeply understood what her mother had said: construction is far more difficult than destruction.

Alas, the gap between imagination and reality can sometimes be really disappointing.

Ye Xing tried hard to calm down his anger, and his face was still stern. Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly heard a rustling sound behind him, someone was approaching secretly -

Judging from the footsteps and breathing, it should be that kid Tubai.

She remained calm and waited for Tu Bai to approach her side before she turned around suddenly. Her original intention was to scare him first, but she didn't expect to be stunned instead.

I saw Tu Bai, covered in mud and water, walking towards me like a dark and dirty ghost. I thought he was sneaking in, but in fact, his steps were slow and weak.

His originally neatly combed hair had almost become a mess, with mud and straw sticks on it. His face was covered in black dust. He clenched his fists and said nothing. He looked horrible, completely different from the previous few days.

Is this the rabbit white that has been "secluded" for several days? Even if it is a kiln, it is too miserable!

Ye Xing couldn't help but feel sympathy and decided to encourage him even if he failed.

"Tubai, are you okay?" she asked first.

Stupidly, Tu Bai did not respond immediately. Instead, he slowly raised his head and stared at Ye Xing. His big eyes turned several times, closed tightly, and then opened again. Then he sighed deeply, "Oh, what a loss..."

This look doesn't seem very decadent, Ye Xing is even more puzzled: "What loss?"

Tu Bai regained his former spirit and vigor at this time. He shook his head vigorously to shake off the dry mud on his head, and pursed his lips to blow away the few strands of hair that blocked his eyes. Then he stretched out his hands in front of Ye Xing in an extremely ostentatious manner, raised his chin and spread out his palms proudly: "Here, praise me!"

In the palm full of black ash, two pieces of charcoal lay quietly.

He succeeded?

Ye Xing hesitated, carefully picked it up and looked at it carefully, and after a moment he finally couldn't help laughing.

He succeeded!

Although the quality of the charcoal seemed very average, it was enough to prove that it could now be produced manually. This small and difficult step finally made her breathe a sigh of relief.

"Tu Bai, you succeeded!" Ye Xing stood up with a smile and praised him sincerely: "You are really smart. How did you do it in such a short time?"

Tu Bai shook his head and enjoyed it for a while before telling Ye Xing the whole process in detail.

"Well, I did as you said, climbing up and down to find many kinds of branches, and built a nest with my own hands. The mud alone almost exhausted me, and my head was almost burned when I was making the fire. Look, is it burnt here?" Tu Bai yelled and lowered his head to let Ye Xing look at the top of his head.

Sure enough, there was a strand of hair there that turned burnt yellow and curly.

Ye Xing subconsciously wanted to rub it, but she paused and patted it lightly instead, smiling and comforting: "It's not burnt, it's still very beautiful."

Tu Bai didn't believe it but still looked very happy and enjoyed it.

"Take me to where you burn charcoal and let me see what the situation is like." Ye Xing was very much looking forward to it.

Tu Bai was not in a hurry at all. After showing off, he seemed to have not received enough rewards, which made him feel even more disadvantaged.

"You only care about charcoal. Don't you care about me?"

"Uh...you look good." Ye Xing replied.

"Humph!" Tu Bai put his hands on his hips, tilted his head and walked around Ye Xing, with a look of disbelief on his face: "What's wrong with me? I'm at a loss, okay!"

Ye Xing remembered that he had been complaining about losing money since he appeared a moment ago, and tried to analyze that maybe he felt that he was losing money because burning charcoal was too difficult and laborious, so he quickly encouraged him: "How can you say you are losing money? Do you know how useful the charcoal you burn is? Your intelligence can save countless people."

Tu Bai didn't take it seriously. He snorted and shook his head, saying, "Of course I know all this. It's nothing new. When I said I lost money, I certainly didn't mean this."

"What is that?" Ye Xing couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

"Of course I'm talking about you and me!" Tu Bai looked pained. "When I think about having to do something as strenuous as burning charcoal to be with you, I feel so tired and at a loss. Obviously, I just want to have a baby with you."

...Thoughts like these deserve to be incomprehensible.

Ye Xing couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Uh, my train of thought was interrupted and I don’t know where to start for a moment.

"Tu Bai, that's not the case. You have accomplished something great now. It has nothing to do with whether you have a baby or not. You should be proud of your achievement."

"I'm very proud! That's why I want to have a baby with you." Tu Bai believed this.

"Although it's difficult and unprofitable, as long as you promise to have a baby with me, I can endure it. I'll do anything for the sake of having a baby."

Tu Bai became excited again and started jumping around her again. Ye Xing felt completely powerless inside and even felt like she didn't know how to pronounce the three words "give birth to a baby".

How can we bring this smart yet stupid little rabbit back on the right track?

It seems that temptation is still the main thing.

…She felt that she had fallen a little, and had actually started to play tricks on a simple-minded man.

Well, it’s not about the person, but about the matter.

"Uh, Tu Bai, don't get excited first, listen to me." Ye Xing jumped out of Tu Bai's "encirclement" and said shamelessly: "I never promised to be with you, it's you who thinks so. I never wanted to form a bond with you, understand?"

Rabbit Bai suddenly became quiet and looked very lost. Even the few strands of hair that were blown away drooped down again in disappointment, covering half of his eyes.

It looked so pitiful.

Ye Xing even thought he was going to cry, and she felt inexplicably soft-hearted, but in the end she held back and did not give in.

Tu Bai didn't move for a long time before he murmured, "You are so heartless! You are too cruel!"

"Uh... hm?" Ye Xing's brows twitched.

On the other hand, the pitiful expression on Tu Bai's face disappeared in an instant, and he was replaced by an indifferent look. He snorted and hugged his arms, looking Ye Xing up and down, and said in a sour tone: "She is indeed the woman I like! But she is hard to please."

"Are you pretending to be pitiful? Are you lying to me?" Ye Xing frowned.

"I'm really pitiful. I like you so much, but you are still not moved." Tu Bai curled his lips.

"But I've already thought of it. Something as simple as burning charcoal won't impress you! I just wanted to give it a try just now. What if you can't help but give in? Right?"

"Tu Bai, you, you are really special." Ye Xing thought about it for a long time and still couldn't figure out how to describe him.

"You're right, I'm just so special." Tu Bai liked this description very much. He smiled with curved eyebrows and looked particularly pure and clear.

Ye Xing finally understood what "contrast" meant.

This Tu Bai is not simple at all.

"You said before that I was not qualified to marry you. I reflected on it for a long time after I went back. Qualifications, to put it bluntly, are a test. When I pass the test, I will be qualified, right?" Tu Bai's eyes sparkled.

"As for charcoal burning, even though I completed it under your guidance, I still have to pass it! Next, you must have more tests waiting for me. Are there more things you need me to do?"

"...Yes, you still have a lot to learn." Having his secrets revealed so easily, Ye Xing simply spoke openly.

"Hehe, I can learn anything." Tu Bai narrowed his eyes.

"Each one of them will be difficult and perhaps dangerous. Will you do it?"

Ye Xing now doubts that Tu Bai can do so much just because he wants to form a contract with her.

"Of course. In my eyes, everything is not difficult as long as there is a way to solve it. It just takes some thought, effort and time. As long as I do it, I will succeed." Tu Bai raised a finger and answered proudly, looking extremely confident.

He disdains all future difficulties and is extremely confident in his own intelligence and tenacity.
