The fifty or so families looked around in awe as they failed to contain their surprise of their new surroundings.
A voice shouted out, breaking them out of their daze, "Everyone! I know this is going to take some time getting used but we have a few things we need to do before nightfall. I have enough tents here for everyone, and we have have to setup a temporary bathing area. I have enough food for everyone for a few more days but we will need to set up a temporary kitchen as well. All available hands come over to start carrying supplies for your team. The rest of you take care of your children and elders."
Wei Huoran started assigning people to the shelter or bath house team and dividing the supplies to each team.
He approached a large man and asked, "May I know your name?"
"Young Master, it's Wu Long", the man answered.
"Um, Boss is fine, I don't need to be called young master. Anyways grab two other people and come over here", Wei Huoran replied.
Wu Long nodded and ran off, walking back with two other men.
"Alright, the four of us will set up this tent and a few others until you get the hang off it. I have to show the other team what to do m, so once I know you got it, I'll go and the three of you form your own teams", Wei Huoran then turned to the others and told them, "these three will lead the shelter team but if you feel like you can also lead a team then learn how to set up tents and then form your own group. Just remember this isn't about speed, I'll be checking ever tent before I allow everyone to move in. Also for the bath house team, just stand by until I'm ready and we will start then."
Wei Huoran began instructing the three others and thirty minutes later, a tent was set up. After teaching them how far apart the tents should be spaced out, they set up two more over the next fifty minutes and Wei Huoran was satisfied.
"I think you understand, form your teams and get them working. If someone steps forward, don't suppress them unless it obvious they fail in leading their team", Wei Huoran motioned to the other team, "Ok, bath house team follow me!"
He walked over to small pond that was fed by several small streams, and began summoning wood, pipes, stone, and cloth out of his ring.
Wei Huoran gathered the team around and brought out his tablet. He displayed a primitive version of the bathhouse, switched it to holographic mode, and began explaining to the team how everything was arranged.
"You three will work on the outer walls here, you two work on the inner dividers, you four will move the furniture in place as I create it and I will make the furniture and the bathtubs", Wei Huoran went to each group, training them on their tasks before moving to the next group.
Once they were working, he used his technique to dig out the space for the tubs and methodically created several stone bathtubs on each side. He installed a pair of bamboo pipes from the pond to each tub and set up arrays to draw water and heat it. More arrays were used to keep water from leaking from the tubs and more pipes were added for drainage. The task complete, he went to an empty area and using the wood he summoned, he began crafting simple chairs, tables, and shelves. As he would complete a piece of furniture, the group of people assigned would take and place it according to the layout displayed. After the last piece of furniture was made and moved, he brought out stacks of baskets and placed them on the shelves. Once all the other groups finished their task, the team reconvened and Wei Huoran arranged the finally arrays that would keep men and women from entering the wrong room. He hung a few signs to indicate where the men and women's rooms were located and satisfied with their effort, praised everyone for their hard work. He led the team back to the shelter area and when they reached it, noticed that they were finishing the last few tents as well. He observed that five teams were setting up tents and was pleasantly surprised that one of the five teams had a woman leading with no apparent issues. He grabbed a couple people are started setting up a communal dining area with a open tent cover. Once that was done he crafted several tables and benches and had the others carry them to this area.
"Everyone, excellent work today! I imagine that you are hungry so please send someone for the children and elders and enjoy the meal", Huoran announced to the teams, "while you are eating, I will go check everyone's tents and once I've assured its safey, step forward to claim your tent."
A handful of people ran to get the rest of the families and the teams present looked at the stacks of plates, bowls, cups, and chopsticks placed in the dining hall. As the families gathered and lines formed, the people sat down with their food and drinks and ate. Huoran walked over to the tents and went through each one, inspecting their interiors. Only a few minor issues were found and corrected, so he returned to the dining hall and declared the shelters fit for living and as people finished eating, they would go claim a tent and move in. Once everyone was moved in, he explained and showed everyone the importance of cleaning dishes. He once again gathered everyone, "I have a few announcements to make. The first is that the shelter and bathing facilities are set up and have been endowed with protective arrays. You can sleep knowing that no beasts can attack while you sleep. I still recommend having a few nighttime watchers. The second thing", and he lifted his right hand as a drone appeared above it, "are these things here. They are artifacts I created that patrol and monitor the island. You will still have privacy in you tents and while you bathe, but if any trouble happens and you are unable to warn others, these artifacts should be able to let me know. The third thing is that the bath house, it is a shared bathhouse but men and women must bathe separately. I have already set up arrays to prevent accidents and there is a special room for parents to wash their children. I will severely punish any violations. As a cultivator, I have the ability to sense vitality up to a certain distance, so don't think I can't see you. When you enter the bath house, men go to the left, women to the right, and parents with small children in the middle. You will notice a basket on the shelves, that basket is to hold clothes and has several items inside. The first jar holds a substance to clean your hair, simply scribe your hair while adding pouring it and the after a few minutes wash it out. The second item is a new soap, wet and knead it in your hand until bubbles are formed. Then spread the bubbles over yourself and then rinse off with water. Once your washed and rinsed, submerge into the tub for the final rinse and relax but don't fall asleep in the water. If you have any more questions, ask Fu Kai from the bathhouse team as I have trained him. One final announcement is that I will watch the animals tonight but tomorrow, jobs will assigned based on wants and needs, but that doesn't mean your are stuck to one job forever. I will have more information tomorrow but for tonight, go ahead and rest and be ready for tomorrow. "
The families split up and went to the tents and marveled at the light arrays that were set up inside. Wei Huoran walked over to the farm and started feeding the animals.
