On the seventh day in the valley, Lin Mu happily looked at the window that had been built. The windows are naturally wooden windows with a layer of animal hide on the outside. In terms of how to open and close the window, Lin Mu borrowed the method from ancient China and used wooden sticks as support. To open the window, one can use the wooden stick to support it and keep it open. If they want to close the window, they just have to put the stick away, very convenient.\nBanana couldnât find a better picture _(;3/
Touching the window frame, Lin Mu was ready to tell Patrik about his plan. He looked up at the Patrik, who was building the wall, and his eyes sparkled, âPatrik, letâs start making wooden beds now.â
âWooden bed?â
Patrik stopped working and turned to see Lin Mu looking at him with enthusiasm. He didnât know what kind of strange things Lin Mu is thinking of, but this does not hinder him from supporting Lin Mu.
âWhat is the wooden bed used for?â The word âwooden bedâ is just a random word to Patrik.\nâOf course to sleep on it. Sleeping on the ground all the time is not good as it is easy to get sick1. With the bed, in the winter we can put a thick quilt⌠en, animal skin/hide. When it snows, one can lay in bed like a âcatâs hibernationâ2. So comfortable, it makes me happy just by thinking about it.â
Then Lin Mu said solemnly, âSo a bed is very important, and it is necessary to make it.â
Lin Mu missed his soft fluffy bed very much. Itâs alright if there is nothing in his home, but he must have a comfortable big bed so that he can sleep most comfortably when he wants to sleep.
Patrik didnât know how a bed looks like, but Lin Muâs happy expression when he said it makes Patrick think that a bed is a must.
Concerning his winter welfare, Lin Mu talked to Patrik regarding the structure, function, and benefits of a bed. Then they discussed about the technical matter (of how to make one) for two hours, and the final plan was finalized. Also, towards the beastmanâs high hands-on ability, Lin Mu is very satisfied.
Regarding the design of the bed, due to the lack of tools, the frame can only be made in the simplest form. As for the bed, because they donât have things like nails, Lin Mu and Patrik decided to put the frame together with fine black vines. Black vines are commonly used by beastmen as ropes to tie things. It is very thin and will become very soft after drying in the sun, but at the same time it is very tough and wonât be easily snapped off. As for some beastmanâs abnormal strength, that doesnât count.
Since it has already been decided, Lin Mu naturally is anxious to start work. Because there were not many people available, Patrik decided to let two beastmen help Lin Mu. Lal heard that they are going to make some novelty thing, and thought that he has a chance to be alone with Lin Mu (this idiot has ignored the other helper)3Â so he instantly recommended himself. Cohen said he can also help with a black face, then he looked at Lin Mu with dissatisfaction. At the next moment, Lin Mu felt a chill down his back and was puzzled how he could feel cold on a hot day. Looking at how Cohen resentfully stared at Lal, Lin Mu wondered if this is the legendary âgetting shot while lying downâ, and felt that he has been wrongfully blamed.
âLin Mu, letâs talk. You can ask me to do whatever you want.â Lalâs expression looked like he is eager to help, and he didnât hide how happy he was.\nLin Mu speechlessly looked at Cohen, and couldnât help ranting in his heart, âDonât you see that black face as dark as the bottom of a pot next to you? You canât feel it at all?â
Lin Mu might be a bit dull, but Cohen has been chasing Lal all these while. Although everyone pretended not to see it with a tacit mutual understanding, it didnât mean that Lin Mu couldnât see it. Lin Mu felt that they should be given some time to solve their problems, and he is not interested in being a cannon fodder sandwiched between them, or be the cannon fodder who would be finished off by Cohen.
âThat er⌠go and get some black vines first, the more the better.â Lin Mu waved his hand. âQuickly go, no need to hurry back.â
Cohen heard the task given by Lin Mu and left with Lal. He felt that the two of them needed to talk properly, didnât Lin Mu no need to hurry back as well.
Lal struggled and didnât want to go with him. âLin Mu, he can collect the vines alone, I can do something else, really.â
But Cohen didnât give him a chance, so Lin Mu listened as Lalâs voice getting further and further. It seems that in the end, he could also hear Lalâs voice calling for help. Lin Mu evilly thought, âLal, take care! I didnât mean to set you up; I am innocent. Hehe.â
Patrik thinks that Lin Muâs smile is a little weird (itâs a little vulgar). âYou sent them away, who will help you now?â
âHumph, letting them help is giving me a chill under this big summer weather. Look, the goosebumps I get from being watched by Cohen are showing.â
\nLin Mu does not know which era this sentence came from, but labor is the foundation of human beings. Doing nothing all day will inevitably cause a panic4.
Seeing Lin Mu insisted, Patrik said, âAs long as you like it.â Patrik looked at the house behind him. He could almost imagine how it looks like when itâs finished. He emotionally said, âLin Mu, your tribe people are really smart.â
Lin Mu nodded. âThe people there are really smart. Always thinking about how to make our life more convenient and make things easier, so they made a lot of machines. Living in an era like yours right now, you cannot imagine how much improvement our world has reached. But I donât think it is a good thing. At the very least we donât get to breathe in fresh air anymore, we canât enjoy any leisure time, and the machines make people lazier. For example, the elevator. The floors were obviously not very high, but in order to save their energy, people spent more time waiting for the elevator instead. So it got me thinking, with the appearance of more machines, will humans finally degenerate into being left with only a brain?â
Lin Mu knows that Patrik does not understand what he was saying. He did not want him to understand, he just wants to let him know about his feelings.
âElevator?â
âIt doesnât matter if you donât understand. We donât have any relations with it right now.â What would someone who could fly do with an elevator?
âPatrik, you continue with your stuff. I am going to help Phil.â
