The wicked female is extremely fierce, but she's pampered by her seven beast husbands.

Chapter 151 Go Back to Rest
I'll go check it out in a bit.

Bai Qingyu quickly finished washing up and reached for the raincoat, but Yu Shaochen stopped her, saying, "You should go back and rest first. The person has been rescued. Now we just need to resettle the family that was struck by lightning. Su Weihua and Chongzhen are helping out in the village and should be back soon."

Bai Qingyu frowned and said, "I'll go take a look."

"If you really can't help, come back."

Seeing that he was determined to go out, Yu Shaochen pointed to the bowl that was upside down by bamboo strips: "Then eat your breakfast before you go. It was made by my wife and was specially saved for you."

Bai Qingyu stopped walking out, glanced back at the food on the table, then turned back, sat on a small stool near the stove, and ate all the still-warm food.

Yu Shaochen turned around and went into the cave to find medicinal herbs, intending to brew some medicine to reduce the high fever, and also to promote the growth of some ginger so that he could brew some ginger soup to dispel the cold.

This kind of internal ailment is not easy to cure with healing techniques and is prone to recurrence, so each tribe keeps some such herbs on hand.

We also have some at home, mainly some that Chongzhen bought when he went to the border market.

As for ginger soup to dispel cold, Ling Chengen taught him that during the beast tide.

It was raining at the time, and the warriors in the tribe were fighting in the rain. Fearing they would catch a cold, they asked the logistics department to prepare a lot of ginger soup.

Bai Qingyu ate quickly, but his posture was already elegant. After he finished washing the bowls and chopsticks and put them to drain, Yu Shaochen had already started brewing the herbs.

After greeting Yu Shaochen, Bai Qingyu put on a raincoat and rushed into the rain.

After entering the village, Bai Qingyu looked around and found that the interior was in complete disarray.

The uneven ground was covered with water, and the soft mud was covered with footprints. Some of the orcs probably didn't want to get wet in human form and deliberately transformed back into their beast forms, so some of the footprints were bigger than washbasins and particularly deep. If you weren't careful, you could step into them and the mud and water would reach your knees.

Near the center of the village, the ground is flatter, but it is still yellow mud.

The rain curtain obscures the view; anything further away appears blurry or as a large expanse of mist.

Bai Qingyu grabbed Said, who was rushing forward in the rain, and asked loudly, "Where is the young clan leader?"

Saide wasn't wearing a raincoat. His family had only recently moved from the Snow Wolf tribe, so they hadn't had time to prepare one. They could only maintain their animal form on their heads, at least the thick fur could keep them warm. He squinted and replied, "Over there in the southeast corner of the tribe, near the cattle pen."

“There are caves over there, and all the affected tribespeople have been moved there.”

“I was just about to go over there too, come with me.”

Knowing that he was going to find Ling Chengen, Said broke free from his grasp and jumped onto the muddy ground in front of him in the blink of an eye.

The forest wolf was very fast, and Bai Qingyu, wearing a raincoat, had no intention of transforming back into beast form, so he increased his speed.

Perhaps his body was really cold, because when the icy rain hit his face, hands and feet, he could clearly feel that his body was burning hot, and his breath was also warm. When he ran quickly, his breathing was not as steady as usual.

After arriving at the cave where they sought refuge, Bai Qingyu took off her raincoat, and Sai De stood at the cave entrance, quickly shaking his fur.

Bai Qingyu looked at him and asked in confusion, "Was the tree hole where you lived also struck by lightning?"

“No.” After transforming back into human form, Said stretched his arms and legs out of the hole, letting the rain wash away the mud off his body, and explained to Bai Qingyu, “We live on the edge of the village, where the terrain is low-lying, so the tree hole has been flooded, and we have to move here temporarily.”

Last night before going to bed, he was worried that the tree hole would flood. Sure enough, the water rose in their house in the middle of the night. The two little ones, who were sleeping like pigs, didn't even feel the water. Just as he was worrying, there was a loud noise outside, followed by a slow flame.

Before long, the village was fully awakened from the rainy night as the lightning struck down the treehouse.

Bai Qingyu looked up at the very tall cave, the entrance alone being at least six or seven meters high, and it was extremely dark inside.

He knew a little about the Stone Forest. There should be two or three such caves. They weren't particularly large, but they weren't small either. They could accommodate thousands of people in extremely cold weather, but they were just places to stand, with little space for movement. Especially when the cave entrances were sealed with straw curtains, the air was difficult to circulate, and the smell became very unpleasant.

But during the cold season, this filth and stench are tolerable in order to avoid freezing to death.

Even in Hanshan, it's pretty much the same, except that the caves where Hanshan seeks refuge are naturally formed and very large, located inside the mountain. The crane tribe is also quite clean, and the flat-feathered ones naturally have less body odor than the round-feathered ones, so the situation in Hanshan tribe during the cold season is much better than in Shilin.

After walking a short distance into the cave, the light became very dim, and it was easy to trip over things on the ground if one wasn't careful. Bai Qingyu held onto the stone wall with one hand, thinking that some light grass should be transplanted here, at least it wouldn't be in such complete darkness.

The cave suddenly turned a corner ahead, and suddenly the light came on.

Bai Qingyu looked at the relatively small door in front of him and was a little surprised that the cave had such a structure, somewhat like a gourd. He glanced at the old straw curtain that had been torn off and thrown aside in the corner, and walked into the cave where a fire was burning.

Ling Chengen was settling his people in. He looked up at the circular cave, which was about ten meters high. There were specially carved ventilation holes at the top to prevent people from suffocating from inhaling smoke when starting a fire. However, he could only set off a few fires at most, as there were relatively few ventilation holes.

"Why did you come here?" Ling Chengen had just calmed down the crying cubs when he turned around and saw Bai Qingyu standing near the fire.

Bai Qingyu smiled at her: "I came to see if I could be of any help."

"What's still missing?"

Ling Chengen said with a headache, "We just settled the disaster-stricken people in the village, about several dozen households, but there are still thunderstorms in the next two days, so I plan to have those living in treehouses stay here temporarily and move back after the thunderstorms are over. While there is no thunder, we should take the time to repair the roofs of the houses in the village."

"Won't it be a problem to feed and water so many people?"

Ling Chengen nodded: "For drinking water, I told them to drink hot water as much as possible, but we don't have enough firewood, so that might be difficult."

"There should be water-type warriors living here. As long as we get a few water storage containers, the drinking water problem shouldn't be too big."

Ling Chengen nodded: "That's what I think too. As for the problem of feeding so many people, I plan to let them solve it themselves. However, if they want cooked food, they should hunt their own prey and eat together in groups of several households in the cave outside. They should cook in the cave and not make a fire in this cave."

Otherwise, they would definitely get carbon monoxide poisoning.

"Where are Su Weihua and Chongzhen?" Bai Qingyu did not see the two people in the cave.

"They are in another cave, which is very small, so Chongzhen and Suwei are expanding it."

Bai Qingyu: "Expansion?"

“Keep digging deeper and make the cave bigger,” Ling Chengen said calmly. “Although it’s a bit difficult, Chongzhen’s earth-type ability has already reached the seventh level. The more he uses and practices, the better it will be for him.”

As for Su Weihua, his level eight metal-type ability is very useful for excavating rocks.

"I plan to leave that cave for the people in Yaoluo who have been affected by the disaster. Even if they don't need it today, given the current trend of rain, they will probably need it in a couple of days."

Just as Bai Qingyu was about to offer his help, Ling Chengen walked past him and suddenly stopped in his tracks.

She turned around, frowned, stared at him for a long time, then reached out and grabbed his wrist, saying in a slightly somber tone, "You have a fever, don't you realize it?"

Bai Qingyu's face was much paler than usual, but her eyes and lips appeared even redder, revealing her illness.

"It's nothing. I'll take some medicine when I get back and get some sleep, and I'll be fine."

Ling Chengen said firmly, "You should go back first."

She was quite surprised that Bai Qingyu, who usually gets up at a fixed time, had slept in this morning for the first time ever.

When I left, I forgot to check on him in the next room.

The two of them even live in the same treehouse.

"Don't worry about me, it's just a small problem."

Ling Chengen said seriously, "I don't want to say it a second time. Go back and rest."

Bai Qingyu was startled by the sudden change in her expression and the coldness in her tone. When he looked down at the five fingers holding his wrist, his heart ached for a second for no apparent reason.

Yuheng, carrying a basket and tossing a freshly washed green apple in his right hand, slowly passed by the two of them. He glanced at the two whose auras seemed a bit off, then suddenly smiled and said, "Oh, you two had a fight?"
