Roofing Grass

The clearing in front of Yang's cave was very large. The three rooms were built side by side, each about ten square meters in size.

The room on the far left was for storing miscellaneous items, the middle room had underfloor heating, and the remaining room on the right had a fireplace.

The storage room was leaky and uninhabitable, and Yang preferred the room with the fireplace, so Lin Ye could only stay in the room with underfloor heating.

Having a room was one thing, but they still couldn't move in yet because a very important item was missing: a bed.

Actually, making a bed wasn't very difficult. First, they drove four wooden stakes into the ground to serve as bedposts. Then, using mortise and tenon techniques, they connected the four bedposts with four sturdy wooden beams and secured them with bamboo nails. Thus, a solid bed frame was completed.

After finishing the bed frame, they placed a layer of bamboo on top to serve as bed boards, securing them firmly with rattan vines. Thus, a simple bamboo bed was completed.

However, lying directly on the bamboo bed would be a bit uncomfortable, so they needed to place a thick layer of dry grass on top and then spread a beast skin over it. This would make sleeping much more comfortable.

Making a bamboo bed was quite simple, and the beastmen learned it very quickly.

With rooms and beds, other items could be made slowly later.

Within the tribe, houses cropped up one after another. The beastmen went to visit them, filled with curiosity. For a short period, the topic of conversation in the tribe revolved solely around the new houses. The first thing people said to each other when they met was to ask about each other's new bedrooms.

Under the influence of this atmosphere, even a few conservative beastmen couldn't help but waver. Were these houses really that good?

Therefore, they also began to build new houses. In the end, almost all the beastmen had new homes, with only Tian's family remaining stubborn and refusing to yield, still living in their cave and refusing to build a house.

Houses stood close together in the tribe, gradually taking on the appearance of a primitive village.

Lin Ye stayed in her new house, lying on the bed she had made herself, her heart filled with a sense of peace.

Since arriving in this world, this was the first time she felt a sense of home.

The leaves in the forest gradually turned yellow, and the weather grew colder. In the blink of an eye, late autumn had arrived.

When Lin Ye transmigrated here, the weather was still extremely hot, so her clothes were quite thin. Now that the temperature was gradually dropping, she had to wear several layers of clothing to keep warm.

In contrast, the beastmen were as usual, still wearing cool clothes like in summer. She truly couldn't help but admire their physical constitutions.

It seemed she had to make some warm clothes, otherwise she would have nothing to wear when winter arrived.

Not only clothes, she only had one pair of shoes. She had been wearing this pair of shoes to walk back and forth every day. Putting aside whether they would start to smell, she was afraid they would wear out, so she had to make a new pair.

In this primitive society, clothes were naturally made from beast skins. Over the past month or so, she had received a rabbit skin.

A single rabbit skin was definitely not enough to make a set of clothes, not even a cloak. She thought she should make a pair of shoes first.

Although the beastmen usually went barefoot, they did wear shoes in the winter. Their shoes were very simple, just wrapping beast skins around their feet and tying them with rattan vines, forming a pair of beast-skin shoes.

The shoes Lin Ye made would certainly not be so crude.

Around the tribe grew a type of grass she had never seen before. It looked somewhat like thatch grass, but the leaves were slightly longer and wider. After being dried in the sun, this grass became very soft and tough, and the beastmen usually used it to tie things.

Previously, this plant had no name, but after Lin Ye used it to make roofs, the beastmen all called it "roofing grass."
