"Yue, I heard from Grandma Hua Shu that you're going to build those stone houses that only the largest tribes have. Is that true?"
'But I've been watching for a few days, and it looks like you've just been playing with mud!'
But she would never say something like that out loud...
Wu Yue answered without turning around, still sorting the wild vegetables in her hands. "It's true, but the stone houses we're building are different from the ones in those tribes."
Qingcao glanced at her cautiously. "Everyone in the tribe is saying you're just playing with mud."
Of course, Wu Yue had heard such talk, but she understood. After all, the people here had no idea that things like bricks and tiles even existed. From their perspective, the process of making the unfired bricks and tiles really did look like playing with mud.
But...
She looked at Qingcao confidently. "Don't worry. The houses we build will be far stronger and more beautiful than the ones in the largest tribes."
