Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 496

Chapter 496: Chapter 496: She Proposed Building Houses from Stone?!

After everything calmed down, Su Qinglan quietly looked around and met everyone from the tribe.

Her gaze then fell on the other fox tribesmen who were busy working with many thick logs of wood.

They had cut and gathered the logs to copy the style of houses used in the Dragon Beast City.

She inspected the half-built structures carefully. The wooden poles were driven into the ground and bound tightly, just like the house she was staying in. It looked sturdy, but she still had some doubts.

Su Qinglan glanced at her father, who was happily playing with his grandchildren. She did not want to disturb him, so she let him enjoy his time with the cubs.

Instead, she walked over to Elder Bao.

Elder Bao was a respected elder in the tribe. He always oversaw many important matters managing the storage, assigning work, keeping peace inside the tribe, and handling living conditions for everyone.

Su Qinglan greeted him politely, "Elder Bao."

The old man smiled kindly and patted the stone beside him. "Child Qinglan, you have come. Come, come sit with Uncle Bao."

Su Qinglan did not refuse. She sat down on the stone next to him and asked, "Are you building houses the same as the ones in the Dragon Beast City?"

Elder Bao nodded. "Yes. The city lord sent someone to teach us how to build this kind of house. It is really good, so we are trying to learn it. The work is hard and a bit complicated, but it is much better than living in caves."

Su Qinglan nodded. These wooden houses were indeed better than caves.

In caves, they had to rely on natural rock shelters or dig new ones with wide openings that offered no real cover. In winter, the cold wind would blow straight in and everyone could freeze.

These huts were more covered and secure.

Most importantly, they could build as many as they wanted and many orcs could have their own space instead of squeezing together.

Afterall with caves, only big families used to get individual caves before.

Still, Su Qinglan looked at the wooden log walls and felt worried.

Could these really withstand the freezing cold of the Beast World? She had heard that the winters here were extremely harsh. The snow alone could bury people alive, and the cold was bone-chilling.

The gaps between the wooden logs would let cold wind pass through easily. Would the females and cubs be able to survive the winter like this?

She asked Elder Bao the same question.
