Transmigrating to the Beast World and Raising Cubs with a Black Panther
Chapter 31 to relieve boredom
At that moment, Bai Ze, who was sewing animal hides in the cave with his eyes downcast, had no idea that his humanitarian act of kindness would make him a "model of excellence" in the tribe.
Of course, Mo did not offer any further explanation for these so-called "rumors," which is consistent with his usual persona.
So much so that when Bai Ze accidentally learned of the final version, he was utterly astonished.
After dividing the prey, Mo carried the meat on his shoulder, supported himself with one hand on the cowhide, and hurried home.
Bai Ze heard the commotion and immediately stood guard by the door, handing the person a soft animal skin towel.
After Mo sat down, he was served a bowl of freshly brewed ginger soup, with some honey added. The soup wasn't very spicy.
Her fluid movements exuded a strong "married woman" vibe.
Mo finished the drink in one gulp, and his cold body began to gradually warm up.
Bai Ze brewed a lot, so he let Jue drink some too. Although the child didn't really like the spicy and sweet taste, he heard from his father that it could prevent illness, so he obediently picked up the bowl.
Mo drank another bowl, and now he felt completely warm. He said to Bai Ze, "You should have some too."
"I didn't go out, and I didn't get caught in the rain." Bai Ze smiled tactfully. He had been forced to drink ginger soup by his grandmother whenever he sneezed since he was a child, and he really didn't want to drink it again.
Jue, acting like a little adult, chimed in, "Father, this is good for your health."
Seeing the two figures, one big and one small, staring up at him, Bai Ze had no choice but to grit his teeth and drink half a bowl.
And she secretly made a decision in her heart that next time, she would only cook enough for two people, not even one extra bowl!
Due to the heavy rain, the cave entrance was closed, and the cave was very dark.
Bai Ze wasn't sure how long the rain would last, and the firewood stored in the cave was limited, so he didn't dare add too much to the fire.
So, the three of them, unusually, sat neatly around the fire outside of mealtimes, very close together.
After Yan delivered the meat home, he braved the rain to come and borrow MooMoo's animal hide.
Bai Ze and Jue were bored, and they were very happy to hear that they were coming.
Not long after Yan returned, he brought over the cubs, carrying meat in one hand and Xi in the other, and then went back to pick up Qing.
Their arrival immediately brought a lot of liveliness to the quiet cave.
Of course, Xi was the happiest of all.
As soon as he came in, Jue picked up the animal skin and kept wiping his hair, which was wet from the rain.
The skill and meticulousness displayed were so impressive that even Qing felt inferior.
Xi was also restless, her icy little hands kept touching Jue's arm, and even tried to reach into his neck.
Jue helplessly pressed down on Xi's hand: "Behave yourself."
"It's so cold outside," Xi said with a grin, continuing to play with him.
Yan plopped down next to Mo and started drying his clothes.
Bai Ze took the fruit from Qing's hand, glanced at it, and was pleasantly surprised—it was a pear!
It's bright yellow, juicy, and has a sweet fruity aroma—it's incredibly tempting.
Bai Ze asked, "Qing, where did you get this?"
Qing smiled and said, "I happened to run into Dan when she came back from collecting things that day, and I thought you would like it."
Every time Bai Ze went out to gather fruit, his eyes would light up at the sight of all kinds of fruit. Qing traded some of his meat for some, and was just thinking of sending them to him when it suddenly started to rain.
"Thank you!" Bai Ze happily gave him a big hug. "Qing, you're so kind."
Upon seeing this, Yan Chaomo raised an eyebrow, as if to say, "See? Your wife and children have a great relationship with my wife and children."
Mo ignored him, shook the wet Moo Moo animal skin, hung it on a piece of wood, and placed it by the fire to dry.
Despite their playful banter, another clap of thunder startled Yan, who dropped his nonchalant attitude and became slightly serious: "The weather looks bad. It usually doesn't rain at this time of year."
"The earlier it rains, the sooner it will get cold."
Mo also looked grave: "The cold wave season this year is expected to arrive earlier than usual."
"In that tribe—" Yan hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Food is the most critical issue for their survival. Although there is plenty of food in the tribe now, during cold waves, the outside is covered with ice and snow, and the rapidly dropping temperature and biting cold will greatly exacerbate the difficulty of hunting.
Moreover, the number of prey will decrease, and they will be more vigilant.
Surviving the cold wave every year is a very difficult task, especially for the fragile sub-beastmen and cubs.
Mo pondered for a moment: "This year's hunt will have to be brought forward."
Yan thought the same thing: "We need to discuss this with the clan chief and the great shaman. It would be best to go to the mermaid clan to exchange for salt as soon as this rain stops."
"Once we get back, we can start preparing for the hunt before the cold snap."
Mo nodded; this was indeed the safest arrangement at present.
Bai Ze was not from this world, so he naturally did not know Mo and the others' concerns. At this moment, he was washing the pears that Qing had brought over, cutting them into chunks, and putting them in a stone pot with apples, red dates, and honey to simmer slowly over low heat.
It evokes a warm and cozy feeling of gathering around a stove to brew tea.
When Xi saw the food of the Needle-Tailed Beast, she couldn't help but think of the pastries that Bai Ze made last time, as well as that food called "lollipop".
He licked his lips and fawned over Bai Ze, helping to add firewood, handing him tools, and offering emotional support.
Before long, the fruit tea was ready, steaming with white mist, hot and comforting, good for the stomach, lungs, and throat.
Several people held tea and sat around the fire, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
This contrasted sharply with the fierce winds and torrential rain outside the cave.
There aren't many entertainment options in this world, or perhaps Bai Ze is unfamiliar with their entertainment activities. So far, he hasn't discovered any particularly interesting games or activities.
For Bai Ze, the most suitable way to pass the time, like right now, is to play mahjong with four adults.
Of course, if possible in the future, Bai Ze has really considered making a set of mahjong tiles out of mud.
Looking at the smooth ground, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and picked up a charcoal stick to draw a grid on the ground with a "swish, swish, swish" sound.
"What is this?" Xi asked curiously, craning her neck.
Jue also came over.
"I'll teach you a game." Bai Ze blinked, picked up some small stones, and then took two leaves, tearing them into pieces of the same size.
After explaining how to play Gomoku, Bai Ze began to demonstrate it to them.
Mo and Yan found it quite interesting and squatted down to watch as well.
Gomoku is a very basic and simple game, and Xi Yue was eager to try it, so he pulled Jue aside and wanted to play a game with him.
Under Bai Ze's command, Xi won, making the child jump for joy.
But Jue was indeed clever. After playing two rounds and mastering the rules of the game, she was in her element and won one victory after another.
Seeing Jue dominating the battlefield, Yan was eager to test his skills against Mo, so he imitated Bai Ze and drew a chessboard on the ground.
And just like that, the group became completely addicted to the game.
Qing and Bai Ze weren't that "crazy." After playing for a while, they started chatting, and Bai Ze took the opportunity to ask about things in the tribe.
Since she had nothing better to do, Qing looked at Bai Ze's unique clothes and asked him if he could teach her how to make them.
Since Jue and Baize started wearing clothes they made themselves, they have clearly become a striking sight in the tribe.
The clothes were very unique in terms of cut, texture and style. Most importantly, they were beautiful, convenient and comfortable to wear, much better than the clothes worn by everyone in the tribe.
Bai Ze readily agreed and immediately took out the unfinished clothes to demonstrate on the spot.
Mo glanced at the silver-gray animal skin coat several times, prompting Yan to accuse him of not taking the game seriously and of winning unfairly.
Bai Ze first drew a rough sketch of the blueprint on the ground, then picked up the clothes on his legs to demonstrate, and also explained the color matching.
They even shared some decorative items, such as pom-poms on clothing collars, hats with various animal ears, and woven animal skin ropes to replace buttons...
Qing listened intently, and her admiration for Bai Ze reached a new level.
Yan brought meat with him, so naturally, getting a free meal was the main event. The mushroom, wild vegetable, and sliced meat soup that Mo mentioned had been on Yan's mind all afternoon.
Bai Ze deliberately asked, "Then you roll out the meat?"
"No problem!" Yan immediately patted his chest.
Bai Ze smiled and handed over the preparation of the mushroom, wild vegetable, and sliced meat soup to him.
I'm going to prepare a different kind of food.
He first scooped out a large chunk of the rendered beef tallow, put it in a pot and stir-fried it with wild onions, chili peppers and ginger, then added pork ribs and stewed it over high heat.
Then, I cut up a lot of meat from the Humming Beast, the Sheep Beast, and the Moo Moo Beast, and even arranged these thin slices of meat on a plate with a special sense of ceremony.
Qing and the two children helped wash some wild vegetables and mushrooms.
Bai Ze originally wanted some offal this time, but it was raining and it was difficult to go out to clean it. It would also be easy for it to smell if left in the cave, so he decided to prepare it next time. This is enough for today.
