Chapter 495: Chapter 495 Building Toilets
The next day, Yang Xiao and Monk Ben Yin bid farewell to everyone, riding the Giant Eagle to the deep mountains of Shenlongjia, first arriving at the valley where Ah Yong’s tribe lived.
Inside the valley, the savages were busy packing various items, seemingly preparing to move.
The savages, seeing Yang Xiao descending on the Giant Eagle, cheered and then knelt on the ground, shouting loudly:
"God, God!"
To the savages, they liked to express their worship and admiration through kneeling, and Yang Xiao didn’t wish to stop their prostrations. A sense of mystery and distance often made it easier for him to rule over these savages.
If he were to talk to the savages about equality and freedom, that would only tell them that he was just a mortal.
Yang Xiao and Monk Ben Yin jumped down from the Giant Eagle, where Ah Yong and Elder Shitou had already come to greet them.
"God, you’ve arrived."
"Mhm, how’s your preparation going?"
"Everything is going well. The Wolf Clan Tribe’s campsite now has hundreds of people busy building houses daily; many houses have already been completed. We estimate that we can relocate there in three days, and we are about to go there to build houses later."
Yang Xiao suddenly remembered something and asked:
"How do you normally deal with defecation?"
Ah Yong and Elder Shitou, taken aback, looked at Yang Xiao, seemingly not understanding.
Monk Ben Yin chuckled and said:
"Amitabha, he means how do you take a dump, how do you urinate?"
Yang Xiao glanced at Monk Ben Yin, holding back a laugh; this monk sure speaks candidly!
Upon hearing this, Ah Yong laughed heartily and said:
"Whenever you feel like it, just do it wherever!"
Yang Xiao laughed and said:
"That won’t do. Right now your population is small, but later on, when there are over a thousand savages in the valley, if everyone defecates wherever they please, the whole valley will reek, how can people live?"
Hearing this, Elder Shitou looked troubled, scratching his head and saying:
"God, then what do we do? We can’t just not go, can we?"
Yang Xiao laughed and said:
"How could you not? You just need to build a designated area for toilets."
"Toilets?"
"Amitabha, it’s the place for defecating and urinating."
Monk Ben Yin clasped his hands together.
Ah Yong opened his mouth in surprise and said:
"Need a special building just for taking a dump and a leak?"
Yang Xiao nodded, smiling and said:
"With so many savages living together, having specific toilets to concentrate on dealing with defecation and urination is necessary, so not to have the entire valley filled with feces and urine, stinking up the place. Additionally, this gathered waste can later provide fertilizer for planting edible food."
Once explained this way, Elder Shitou nodded and said:
"God makes a good point. I know there’s a type of tuber that’s grown in the ground; previously, we only dug up wild types outside. These are very easy to cultivate. If we could centralize their planting on the hillside, it would provide a large supply of food. Eating meat all the time can easily lead to diarrhea. We usually dig up this kind of tuber in the wild after some time."
Yang Xiao knew Elder Shitou was talking about something like sweet potatoes and nodded his head.
"Then let’s go to the valley of the Wolf Clan Tribe together now, and while we’re at it, plan out the toilets, drainage ditches, and other facilities, and see how the construction of the houses there is coming along."
Ah Yong agreed repeatedly.
Elder Shitou and Ah Yong led several dozen young adult male and female wild people to set off for the Wolf Clan Tribe. When they arrived at the large valley, they saw a bustling scene; the planned residential area in the distance had already begun to have dozens of houses built, with another dozen or so under construction.
The wild people in the valley bustled about, carrying wood, vines, wild grass, banana leaves, and the like, all very busy.
When everyone saw the Giant Eagle that Yang Xiao was riding fly over, they stopped their work and knelt down to worship, shouting:
"God, God!"
Yang Xiao walked over, and Wolf Claw and the other two tribal leaders also ran over to greet Yang Xiao.
Elder Shitou told Wolf Claw and the others about Yang Xiao’s just-mentioned plans for constructing toilets and planting tubers, and everyone nodded their heads in agreement after listening.
Monk Ben Yin handed over a bundle of Magic Swords to Wolf Claw, saying:
"Here are the Weapons recently forged for you, more than forty of them. You’ll have to distribute them amongst yourselves."
Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed.
Yang Xiao then took out a bottle of Small Blood Pill and handed it to Ah Yong, saying:
"Here are fifty Small Blood Pills. You keep them for now, and if anyone gets injured, they should come to you."
Ah Yong was extremely delighted and repeatedly agreed.
Yang Xiao entrusting the life-saving Small Blood Pill to Ah Yong was naturally a sign of trust in him, and also meant to raise his status among the wild people tribe.
Yang Xiao and Wolf Claw inspected the area, getting to know the surrounding hills, forests, water sources, and so forth, and helped the wild people to plan it out simply, based on basic urban building layout principles.
Several hundred laborers from four tribes were gathered in the valley, and with everyone pitching in, the speed of house building was very fast.
Yang Xiao thought for a moment and decided that he would next go to the Genetic Store’s outpost to get some digging tools for them, such as spades and pickaxes, as there were many tools like these in the collapsed hardware stores in the small towns.
Yang Xiao suddenly thought that by teaching the wild people to use various tools, he might have almost directly advanced the wild people’s history of Evolution by tens of thousands of years.
According to Wolf Claw and the others’ estimates, in about ten days, they should be able to relocate the nearby three tribes, and then they would start constructing even more houses, planning to relocate all of the tribes in about thirty days.
Yang Xiao and Ben Yin returned to the valley of Ah Yong’s tribe, and in the cave that stored a large number of Magic Weapons and Equipment, Yang Xiao took out twenty large wicker baskets from the Space Ring, transferred the models of these Weapons into the large baskets, and then put them back into the Space Ring.
The two returned to the Genetic Store, and Monk Ben Yin led people to the nearby town to look for digging tools like spades and pickaxes, while Yang Xiao piled all the Magic Weapons from the Space Ring onto an open space outside, then went into the Genetic Store.
"Boss Gu, I have some Magic Weapons and Equipment here, could you please appraise them?"
"No problem, appraising Weapons is my duty."
"However, there are quite a lot of them, could you come outside to appraise them?"
The young shop owner smiled and said:
"How many could there be? I can appraise several hundred pieces of Weapons at once, just bring them out, I know you have them in your Space Ring."
"Ah, they’re all piled outside, probably a few thousand pieces."
"A few thousand pieces?"
The shop owner of the Genetic Store was also stunned for a moment, then immediately followed Yang Xiao out of the store, and not far away on the ground, there were twenty large blue baskets woven from wicker, filled with a variety of Weapons and Equipment models that were emitting a faint glow.
The owner was shocked, and exclaimed:
"Where on earth did you get so many Magic Weapons at once?"
