They were eager to commence work as quickly as possible, complete the bamboo houses, and then embark on archery practice.
These clansmen were indeed resilient. They toiled tirelessly from dawn till dusk, only ceasing their labor when darkness fell and they could no longer see.
Once the sun set, they gathered to consume nouris.h.i.+ng meals and rest.
Gu Chaoyan paused her own work.
Their task was constructing the bamboo houses, while Gu Chaoyan focused on crafting bows and arrows. She produced numerous bows and arrows without any reservation. If any female clan member desired to practice, they could obtain a set from her.
Three days elapsed.
A sufficient number of bamboo houses had been erected, totaling 12 in various sizes.
Gu Chaoyan contemplated the allocation. Smaller bamboo houses would be provided to nuclear families if they were present, while larger ones would be a.s.signed by gender. Men would share a room, and women would occupy another. With over a hundred individuals in the Five Elements Clan, every person had a place to reside. Though basic, it offered shelter from the elements, a substantial improvement for the clan.
On the day of the bamboo house completion, the clan members would be able to collect their bows and arrows.
Certain elderly clan members declined the offer, intending to attend to miscellaneous tasks within the clan. Some more timid women also refrained from accepting the weapons.
However, the majority eagerly lined up to receive their bows and arrows from Gu Chaoyan.
Every set of hands received their allocation.
Even Aina came to collect her bow and arrows.
Gu Chaoyan regarded Aina with a warm smile. Aina was unquestionably a courageous woman.
She had already designated a location for archery practice.
Gu Chaoyan and Gary took on the roles of instructors.
Learning how to handle a bow and arrow was straightforward, but many individuals needed careful guidance from Gu Chaoyan.
Two days flew by.
Almost everyone had acquired the basics.
At this juncture…
Gu Chaoyan intended to seize this moment to reorganize the clan’s division of labor.
In the early stages when the Five Elements Clan wasn’t severely battered, they had possessed a certain degree of strength, and the Patriarch had established a specific labor division.
But later…
They encountered a mult.i.tude of crises. Their clansmen were either injured or lost. The previous system was disrupted.
Chaos reigned.
People simply a.s.sumed roles based on their apt.i.tudes and preferences.
Fortunately, the clan members were highly united, and things went relatively smoothly.
However, if she aimed to advance her clan effectively, they couldn’t continue in this disorganized fas.h.i.+on.
Gu Chaoyan gazed at the family members gathered before her.
The clansmen exchanged glances and s.h.i.+fted their attention to their Tribe Chief, their faces filled with antic.i.p.ation. They sensed that positive developments were on the horizon, given the recent series of favorable occurrences within the clan.
The recent events suggested that they were on the cusp of an improved life.
“Tribe Chief, what’s the reason for summoning us?” Dao Seeking asked with a cheerful disposition. He had always been lively, and following the recent events, any lingering estrangement with the Tribe Chief had dissipated, leaving him in a jubilant mood.
The clansmen adhered to their own set of regulations, but there was also a strong sense of familiarity among them. They didn’t shy away from her.
For Gu Chaoyan, this was a positive aspect.
She appreciated it. There was a sense of separation, but it wasn’t excessive.
“I did gather you here for a reason.”
“At present, our clan…”
