Traveling through time and space to achieve a well-off life with your family
Chapter 37 Living alone?
"High Priest Xiongbai! Long time no see!" Yan Hai came forward and looked at his old friend. Seeing his trembling legs, he thought he was sick and sighed worriedly. As they get older, they all have some minor ailments, and the older they get, the more ailments they have.
Xiong Bo held Cheng Mo's hand and shook his head. He was tired of standing here and he no longer had the energy to explain anything. It would be better to let him sit down and have a rest first.
Cheng Mo quickly helped him aside. Seeing this, Yan Hai could only ask his tribesmen to move the salt jars onto the car. Cheng Mo taught them to use hay and animal skins to surround the pottery jars for earthquake-proofing.
By the time they loaded the salt jars onto the car, it was already very late. Yan Hai and the others did not dare to travel at night, so they could only rest for a night and set off again the next morning.
After dinner, Xiong Bo, who had recovered a little, pulled Yan Hai aside to talk. Cheng Mo couldn't hear what they were saying, but she could see that their expressions were very serious.
So Cheng Mo started chatting with the people from the Salt Lake Tribe. The Salt Lake Tribe had always had a good relationship with other tribes, and they knew a lot about the tribes. In Cheng Mo's view, this meant they were know-it-alls.
The high priest of the Salt Lake Tribe is a knowledgeable old man. He had chosen his successor early on and is now teaching his successor.
Their teaching method is to tell stories. Cheng Mo didn't understand the teaching methods of these priests and thought they were telling bedtime stories. He sat aside and listened happily. The two people from the Salt Lake Tribe didn't drive him away. They smiled at him friendly and ignored him. Cheng Mo listened to the magical stories told by the old man and learned about the different customs of different tribes, many legends, etc.
When Ban Mu came over, Cheng Mo had already started a friendly conversation with the high priest.
"Grandpa High Priest, is the kind of LuLu beast you are talking about black in appearance, with long fangs, smelly all over, and likes to find food in the fields?" Cheng Mo was afraid that his description was not vivid enough, so he started to draw on the ground with a branch.
The chief priest and disciples of the Salt Lake Tribe looked at Cheng Mo curiously as he drew a Lulu beast with a branch. They looked at Cheng Mu in surprise and said, "Yes, your drawing is really good, just like the real thing! Were you also a priest in the tribe before?"
Cheng Mo smiled embarrassedly: "No, I'm just an ordinary, uh... female, and this Lulu beast in my hometown... in my hometown, it's called a wild boar. It's very greedy, and their meat can be made into many delicious dishes. Will the tribe you mentioned go to Kataya this year? I want to exchange some live piglets with them."
The chief priest of the Salt Lake Tribe shook his head: "I don't know either. People from their tribe only go to Kataya once a year. I don't know if they will go on this trading day."
Cheng Mo nodded. It was impossible for him to go to Kataya with the people of the Salt Lake Tribe now, so he asked the high priest of the Salt Lake Tribe to exchange some live piglets with the people of that tribe. He could exchange them with other things.
On the other side, Yan Hai and Xiong Bai, who had finished their conversation, came over. Both of them looked serious. Xiong Wu leaned over and asked, "High Priest, Grandfather, what's wrong? Why do you look like that?"
Yan Hai touched Xiong Wu's head. Even though Xiong Wu was an adult orc now, in his eyes he was still the crying little wolf cub. His eyes were the same as his female father's. Thinking of the reason for his child's death, Yan Hai was even more glad that he and Xiong Bai could meet again. He had thought about Xiong Bai's suggestion, but he had to discuss this matter with all the tribesmen.
Xiongwu's first reaction after being touched on the head was to dodge, but when he saw his grandfather's sad face, he held back. He had seen this expression on his male father's face many times. He had this expression every day since his female father passed away. So was his grandfather also thinking about his female father?
The fierce crow immediately transformed into its animal form and came close to Yan Hai, imitating the humming sounds of a cub. Yan Hai smiled and patted the wolf on the head: "Stinky boy! You are so old and still act like a spoiled child!"
The big bad wolf rubbed his face excitedly, and its tail was almost shaking out a shadow. Xiongbai rolled his eyes at the childish look of the big bad wolf. He had considered letting Xiongwu be the chief of the tribe before, but fortunately he had not told anyone about this. It was embarrassing to see Xiongwu like this!
The other orcs of the Salt Lake Tribe did not have any expressions. In their tribe, most of the adult orcs were acting coquettishly around their relatives. After all, they did not have the male chauvinism of other tribes. In their tribe, females were the masters.
Cheng Mo felt itchy when he saw the coquettish Big Bad Wolf. He also wanted to go over and rub the Big Bad Wolf! Ban Mu saw the desire in Cheng Mo's eyes and quietly blocked in front of Cheng Mo. Cheng Mo was not angry because his view was blocked. He just regretted that he could not go over and rub the Fluffy Wolf.
the next day--
The people of the Salt Lake Tribe prepared to set off early. Cheng Mo and others said goodbye to the people of the Salt Lake Tribe and set out on their return journey. There were no carts on this road, so Xiong Bai and Cheng Mo sat on Ban Mu's back and experienced the feeling of flying in the air.
Finally they arrived home. Xiongbai, who still felt light on the ground, was helped inside by Kongfu to rest.
Cheng Mo also took Cheng Lingqu away, and the three of them returned to the cave where they lived. As soon as they opened the door, a cloud of dust floated out. The wind in the Wind Valley was strong and there was a lot of dust. If the ground was not cleaned for a few days, there would be a layer of dust.
Cheng Mo picked up the homemade broom and started sweeping. Cheng Lingqu and Ban Mu each took a piece of discarded animal skin and wiped the bed and stove at home. They divided the work and cooperated with each other, so they didn't feel tired at all.
After the cleaning was finished, Cheng Mo fell on the bed and looked at Ban Mu who was still busy and asked: "Ban Mu, what did the high priest say to Yan Hai? Why did they look so serious at that time?"
Banmu shook his head and said, "I don't know either. It might be something very important."
"Is it something important?" Cheng Mo looked up at the ceiling of the cave. Suddenly he thought of something and got up, sat on the bed and looked around.
They have lived in this cave for nearly a year, and the cave is filled with their supplies. Since Cheng Lingqu grew up and learned to walk, this place is not big enough for him to play, and the bed seems a little small when he sleeps at night. Maybe they can move to another place.
But before that, he wanted to ask Banmu what he thought, so he asked, "Banmu, don't you think your home is a little small?"
Banmu, who was still wiping the stove, froze. Many thoughts flashed through his mind: Why did Xiaomo feel that the house was too small? Was he hinting that he should move out? Or did he want to live separately from him? Could they not separate? Could Cheng Lingqu live separately? Anyway, the child was grown up and could live on his own...
With a bunch of messy thoughts in his mind, Banmu turned around and asked uneasily: "Why do you feel... my house is small? I... I can repair the stone wall at home."
Cheng Mo looked at Ban Mu in confusion and said, "There are too many things at home. There's no more space. Don't you feel like you stumble when you walk home every day?"
"No..." Ban Mu didn't dare to look back at Cheng Mo's face. He was even more afraid that the next sentence Cheng Mo would say would be to live separately.
"Ban Mu! I want to build a house!" Cheng Mo stood up and walked behind Ban Mu and said.
"House?" Ban Mu turned around. He had studied with Cheng Mo for so long that he knew what a house meant. He thought Cheng Mo wanted to build a house to live in. He lowered his head sadly and said with some pain, "You guys live here. I'll go out and find a cave to live in."
"Ah? You don't live with us anymore?!" Cheng Mo was shocked. They were obviously living together well, so why did you suddenly want to separate?
"Didn't you say that your house is too small?" Banmu said aggrievedly.
"What I mean is that we are building a big house for you to live in, why are you moving out? Can you take care of yourself if you live alone? Or do you think we are an eyesore and want to live alone?" Cheng Mo looked at Ban Mu seriously. If Ban Mu dared to object, he would guarantee that Ban Mu would not be able to eat at night!
