The night before, Xueying had not finished weaving the backpacks for the three female beasts. After breakfast the next day, the three female beasts came to Linxi together again.

Also coming along were two little female beasts who did not come yesterday, and they even brought their own bitter branches.

In addition to their own materials, several little female animals also brought fresh wild fruits to Lin Xi in exchange for the method of weaving backpacks that Lin Xi taught them.

After Lin Xi took the wild fruits, he washed some of them and placed them among the people sitting there so that everyone could eat them together.

But she didn't have much time to stay with the little female animals today.

Because today she had to string all the pickled meat together with a rope and then quickly hang it on the rack to dry.

Wuchen also started digging at the fireplace and windows.

After breakfast, Wu Chen first moved the stone jar containing the pickled meat to Lin Xi.

Then he waved to Xinyu, the male beast who was standing guard in the newly built guard tower by the river.

The male beast, who was particularly handsome in appearance, saw the leopard beast's gesture. After being puzzled, he said something to his companions beside him, then leaned over and rushed down the guard tower.

In a flash, a peacock with gorgeous feathers and a gorgeous tail flew towards the hillside.

He landed lightly on the ground without changing into a human form. He looked up and asked Wu Chen in a pleasant voice, "Wu Chen, what's the matter?"

Wu Chen looked down at him and said, "Xin Yu, Xixi is going to dry the pickled meat today. Please go and call Chief Bai Nu over."

After Xin Yu heard this, he turned around and glanced at Lin Xi who was standing next to the stone vat, then nodded: "I understand."

Then it spread its wings and flew away.

Behind him, there was a group of female animals looking on with envy.

Including Linxi.

There is no way, the peacock’s gorgeous and colorful feathers are really something that Lin Xi, who likes the gorgeous style, can’t refuse!

But she didn't notice that when she was looking at Xinyu's long tail with envy, Wuchen happened to see her gaze that she had not retracted!

The orc's tail swept uneasily behind him.

Lin Xi started threading the pickled meat.

The animal skin rope had been prepared long ago. Lin Xi simply pierced a hole at one end of the meat strip with a bone spur, then passed the string through it and tied it to the wooden frame that had been made yesterday.

When Bai Nu arrived, Lin Xi had already hung up half of the wooden rack full of pickled bacon.

Bai Nu was originally just planning to come here to take a look at how to dry meat and then go back.

But after hearing Wu Chen say that Lin Xi was going to build a fireplace and dig a window in the cave, he did not leave.

He also saw the female animals weaving backpacks.

He walked to the female beasts, picked up the backpack in Xueying's hand that was almost finished, and looked at it. The same surprise appeared in his eyes as when Wu Chen saw the backpack for the first time yesterday.

Then he smiled at Xueying and returned the backpack.

Xueying reached out and took it with a smile on her face.

The female beasts next to them watched the interaction between Bai Nu and Xueying and winked at Xueying. Xueying smiled at them openly.

Lin Xi was watching from the side and suddenly guessed something.

She came close to Wu Chen and asked in a low voice, "Wu Chen, Xue Ying and Bai Nu, are... uh, a couple?"

Wu Chen nodded: "Leader Bai Nu has always liked Xue Ying, but Xue Ying can only find a partner next year."

Lin Xi suddenly realized, no wonder, these two looked so intimate. And that time, when he went to Xueying's house, it was so late, but he met Bai Nu at Xuetian's mother's place.

It turns out that these two were a couple!

Having satisfied his curiosity, Lin Xi withdrew his gaze and continued to hang the marinated meat.

Wu Chen dug the window first.

The window was dug from the inside out, and the big and small Linxi Rivers had been painted on the stone wall with stones.

The window is not big or high, it is a square of only about half a meter.

After the black dust was dug out, Lin Xi went into the cave to take a look. She sat down directly on the kang and looked through the window. She could see the yellowish hillside and the red and yellow woods outside.

This window is actually opened occasionally for ventilation in winter after the cave door is closed.

But now she feels that it is wrong to use it to enjoy the scenery in seasons other than winter!

After digging out the window, Lin Xi did not rush Wu Chen to make the window sashes, but asked him to dig out the fireplace first.

Now the space in the cave has been expanded a lot. It’s okay now. When winter comes, the air will still be very cold even with the presence of a kang.

A heated kang alone would not be enough for Lin Xi, who is afraid of the cold!

And Lin Xi actually had another purpose in wanting to make a fireplace.

It’s lighting!

The cave was so dark that the deeper she went, the pitch dark was almost invisible to her. It was difficult to do anything, so she could only run to the cave entrance.

But she couldn't squat at the entrance of the cave every day in the middle of winter and be blown by the cold wind. She also planned to install a door at the entrance of the cave, so it would be pitch black there as well.

Therefore, a fireplace that can provide both heating and lighting becomes the best choice!

There are two fireplaces in total, one on each side of the cave entrance. Like the kang, the chimney is directly connected to the outside of the mountain wall, and then the chimney is built with stone bricks.

As soon as the fireplaces were dug, Lin Xi lit up both fireplaces to test the smoke. She also asked Wu Chen to go into the cave and smell it to make sure that Wu Chen could not smell any smoke before she felt relieved.

While digging the fireplace, unexpectedly, Bai Nu also lent a hand to help, which surprised Lin Xi a little.

After all, she thought that someone like the chief would not work with the common people in the tribe.

However, speaking of it, since arriving at the Mountain Fire Tribe, the style of behavior of the leader Bai Nu has indeed given people a very different feeling.

Wise, but without the arrogance of a superior.

And it's clear that he cares about his tribe members.

After the fireplace was finished, it was already quite late. Bai Nu and the female beasts had already left, leaving only Wu Chen and Lin Xi to do some follow-up work on their own.

The remaining sashes and doors were not difficult to make.

The window frames and door frames were assembled by Wu Chen, who then smashed stones directly into the windows and openings, locking them in place.

The window sashes and doors are made to look like wooden rafts and can be directly tied to the edge of the frame.

After finishing all this, the moon was already at its zenith.

Lin Xi rarely felt that this day in the beast world was actually quite long.

After washing up in the moonlight, she lay on the kang, feeling drowsy. In a daze, she felt someone beside her lift up the animal skin blanket.

She turned over and reached out to hug the other person's chest, but was suddenly stopped by someone grabbing her wrist.

Lin Xi, who was extremely sleepy, didn't care. She stretched her hands and tried to pull them back, but she couldn't.

She frowned, squinted and opened one eye, and saw Wu Chen looking at her with a burning gaze.

The fire in the fireplace had dimmed a lot, but Lin Xi could still clearly see the inexplicable look in the orc's bright eyes.

She sobered up a little, blinked a little uneasily, and asked in a puzzled voice: "Wu Chen?"

The orc seemed to come back to his senses when he heard her voice. He looked at her and suddenly slowly calmed down.

In a trance, Lin Xi heard him whisper in her ear: "Xixi, Xinyu, is she beautiful?"

She suddenly opened her eyes and felt a chill on her body. The orc's furry ears rubbed against her face, making her heart beat wildly!
