The second snow in the animal world seems to be heralding the end of this winter storage.

As the snow melted, the weather got colder rapidly.

In just a few days, the leaves fell, the river froze, and even the ground beneath our feet began to harden. Cold air came overnight, seemingly wrapping everything in a long winter.

In the eastern forest, the leaves on the top of the forest finally fell completely, revealing the gray sky above. Occasionally, an unknown bird flew down to the branch, and if you were not careful, it would be shot down by a flying arrow!

Although everything is gradually freezing now, fortunately, the wild vegetables and fruits buried under the thick layer of fallen leaves are still making their last resistance.

In order to resist the cold, these plants even begin to store fat, and their stems and leaves grow thicker and stronger than in autumn.

For the orcs, this is nature’s last gift!

After all, no matter how well the food grew, there wasn’t much of it left, and their winter gathering was about to end.

But fortunately, this winter, they have the newly invented bow and arrow by the wise man Linxi!

In the past, herbivorous orcs often relied on luck when hunting animals. But now, with bows and arrows, they began to change their hunting from casual hunting to active attack.

During this short collective gathering period alone, they stockpiled nearly ten times more prey than they would have stockpiled in an entire winter!

This is something they, as herbivorous orcs, have never been able to do in the past!

Lin Xi didn't go out today.

Because she has a fever!

No matter how tightly she wrapped herself up, she was still cold. Last night during dinner, Lin Xi already started to feel dizzy!

She was shocked! As expected, as soon as she finished her meal, her head began to ache. She raised her hand to touch her forehead, and her heart sank when she saw her obviously abnormal body temperature!

The headache spread throughout her body, and the muscle aches and nausea made her vomit up the dinner she had just eaten.

Wu Chen was frightened and turned around to look for Wu, but was stopped by Lin Xi!

She asked Wu Chen to pull out a scallion, cut it into segments, and boil her a bowl of hot scallion water!

Boiling green onions in water can cure colds caused by wind and cold. At this time, Lin Xi no longer cared about the vision of preserving the green onion seeds. The most important thing was that she did not die first!

Wu Chen was very fast and soon brought a bowl of scallion water to Lin Xi.

He also boiled a bowl of bitter grass water, which is the medicine that orcs drink to treat colds. Lin Xi did not hesitate and drank both bowls of medicine!

She even ate the cooked onions, then she shrank back into the quilt, wrapped herself tightly and began to sweat!

Wu Chen stayed by Lin Xi's side all the time. The kang he heated was very hot, so it wasn't cold. However, he still changed into a beast and lay beside Lin Xi. Lin Xi curled up her body, so he could use his two front paws to hold the little human girl to his chest.

The wind was very strong tonight, and even the tightly-fitting window panels were still creaking from the wind.

All night long, Wu Chen just slept lightly with his eyes closed, not sleeping soundly.

The pair of gray-green animal eyes would open almost every few minutes, looking worriedly at the female beast on his chest, and then he would lower his head and touch the female beast's hot forehead with his wet nose!

at last!

As the wind outside gradually died down, the blush on the girl's face gradually faded!

Wu Chen became more alert almost immediately!

He couldn't wait to change back into human form, and put his hand on the female beast's smooth forehead for a while!

After a long time, he withdrew his hand as if to confirm that it was no longer hot!

But before Wu Chen could feel happy, his expression changed quickly!

A faint smell of blood penetrated into my nose and became stronger and stronger, soon filling the entire bedroom!

"Um……"

The female beast under him suddenly groaned in pain. Wu Chen quickly lowered his head and saw that the little female beast's face was full of pain.

"Xixi, I'm going to burn some stones."

He touched the female's cheek soothingly, then stood up and jumped off the kang.

The fire in the fireplace had not yet gone out. Wu Chen took out a fruit shell basket from the wooden box on the ground. Inside was all the supplies that Lin Xi needed during her period.

Wu Chen dug out a few oval-shaped stones, then took out two clean menstrual bags and some clean boiled animal hair.

He threw the stone into the fireplace and heated it with fire, then went outside to get a handful of clean grass leaves, burned them into ashes, and stuffed the ashes and animal hair into the menstrual bag.

Wu Chen had already done these things when Lin Xi had her last period, and this time he was more skilled at it.

The arrival of her period made Lin Xi's body aches even more. Even the heat that had just subsided started to rise again, and she began to cough violently!

The sky outside gradually turned white, but the doors and windows of the cave were still closed and it was still pitch black.

Wu Chen boiled another large bowl of scallion water, brought it to Lin Xi, and fed it to her.

After drinking the bowl of onion water, Lin Xi seemed to feel much better. Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, which were wiped away by Wu Chen with the animal skin that Lin Xi used to wipe her face, until Lin Xi fell into sleep again.

It's bright.

Lin Xi woke up with a severe headache and nasal congestion.

She turned over and immediately felt something strange under her body. Her body stiffened and she frowned and murmured a curse!

It's really unlucky that even drinking cold water will get your teeth stuck!

Her period was already late for many days this time, and she was even prepared for the possibility that she might be pregnant!

But who knew that I would catch a cold at the same time!

Her body was already feeling uncomfortable enough, and she had to deal with troublesome menstrual bleeding all the time, which made her even more irritated just thinking about it!

At this moment, the animal skin curtain at the bedroom door was suddenly lifted, and soon footsteps were heard approaching!

"Xixi, you're awake!"

The orc's surprised voice came from above her head. Lin Xi turned her head with effort to look over, but unfortunately the window of the bedroom was not open at this time, and there was a animal skin curtain hanging at the door, so she could not see anything.

"Wu Chen, please hang up the door curtain. It's too dark and I can't see anything!"

Hearing her words, Wu Chen seemed stunned for a moment, then quickly agreed: "Okay!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xi heard the sound of something being placed on the edge of the kang, and then there was a rustling sound near the door.

Soon, a faint red light shone in from the door. Looking over, I saw the orcs rolling up the entire animal skin curtain from the bottom to the top, and finally hooking it with the wooden hook hanging from above.

After finishing, Wu Chen returned to the edge of the kang. He touched Lin Xi's forehead again. It was still a little hot, but much better!

So he breathed a sigh of relief silently, and looked at the little female beast with a look of heartache: "Xixi, do you still want to sleep? I made fish soup with a lot of sweetleaf grass in it. Get up and have some?"

Lin Xi was not actually hungry, or rather, she had no appetite at all.

But when she met the orc's worried eyes, she pursed her lips and finally nodded:

"I want a small bowl."
