A guide to surviving in the world of beasts

After returning to the cave, with the help of Hu Ya, we quickly prepared lunch. After Sha came to have lunch, we went to dig mud together.

When carrying the mud, Su Ling thought that Hu Ya was young and although he was tall, he was still growing, so she put a little on him just for the sake of courtesy. Hu Ya refused and insisted that Su put more on him.

Sha also chimed in, "Su Ling, even though he's young, he's just as strong as you are. You're really pretending too little."

Unable to do anything, Su Ling gave him a little more, and the amount was almost the same as her own. "That's all. No more. You are still young and can't carry something too heavy. Otherwise, you will be crushed and won't grow taller in the future."

Hu Ya felt that he could add a little more, but seeing how Sister Su Ling looked, it was impossible for him to add more, so he compromised. He usually carried more things than this, but Sister Su Ling said that if he carried too much, he would not grow taller, so it didn't matter if he carried less, because he wanted to grow taller than his brother.

Needless to say, Sha carried the most and walked the fastest. Su Ling wanted to take a break, but when she saw the two people in front of her with their chic yet ruthless backs, she felt despised. She gritted her teeth and held on, walking towards the cave while holding her breath.

As soon as she returned to the cave, Su Ling sat down on the ground, panting heavily, and didn't want to move at all. "Rest, rest for a while first." Looking up, the two of them didn't even sweat. Well, she knew nothing about the power of the orcs.

"Otherwise, you don't need to go. We can just carry back as many as you need."

"Yes, Sister Su Ling, Sister Sha and I can go, so we can go faster." Hu Ya said seriously.

Su Ling felt like she was shot in the chest. She was a drag in terms of strength. However, Su Ling had one advantage, which was self-knowledge. Why would she compare her own shortcomings with others' strengths? Wouldn't that just cause trouble?

She shouldn't compete with orcs in areas that require a lot of effort. She also has areas that others can't compare to, so she should comfort herself.

Su Ling accepted their suggestions with a guilty conscience, "Okay, just dig once more. These will be enough for a while. After we use them up, we can dig more."

After the two left, Su Ling rested for a while and then got up to work. The mud was not mixed with other soil particles and impurities and did not need to be filtered.

What Su Ling has to do now is to knead and beat the clay repeatedly to make it soft and hard enough. This is also a strenuous job, but it is also a very important process.

The purpose of kneading clay is to squeeze out excess air, make the clay more uniform and dense, and prevent bubbles, deformation or cracking during calcination.

When Hu Ya and Sha came back with the clay, they saw Su Ling kneading the clay there.

Su Ling kept kneading the mud in her hands. "I'm back. There's water on the table over there. Let's take a rest and then go drink some."

"Sister Su Ling, is this the work we're going to do later? Let me help you." After drinking the water, Hu Ya came over, his face full of eagerness to try.

"Don't you want to take a break?"

"No, I'm not tired."

Seeing Sha coming over with the same expression, "Okay, it's very simple, go get a piece of mud and knead it with me here, and don't mix in any impurities."

"Just knead it like this. Knead it first, and I'll tell you when it's done." Su Ling showed the kneaded mud to the two of them, then wrapped it in leaves and put it in a cool place.

The two of them joined in the mud kneading business and quickly integrated into it. The sound of pounding continued to be heard outside the cave. Su Ling was very satisfied with the two strong laborers.

After kneading the clay a few times and thinking it's almost done, I stopped kneading it. It was getting late, so I could only continue with the rest tomorrow.

After dinner, they agreed to continue tomorrow and went home happily.

Su Ling rubbed her sore wrist and took out the thread given to her by Hu Yi before it got dark, thinking of making a set of clothes for him. Hu Yi didn't see any trace of clothes except the animal skin skirt on his body.

I made him one first and then gave him a surprise when I came back. The idea was good, but when I took out the animal skin and thread, I found that there was no needle.

"Forget it. I'll ask Sha and the others tomorrow what they usually use to sew animal skins."

After this delay, it was almost dark, so I went to bed early. I missed the days with lights! There were no lights here, not even a candle. I went to bed when it got dark. It was really boring!

The next day, before Su Ling got up, she heard someone talking outside the cave. When she went out, she saw that Sha and Hu Ya had arrived.

"Why are you here so early?"

"It's getting late. The hunting and gathering teams have already left the tribe. Father said that if we don't work harder, we will starve." Hu Ya was as honest as ever.

I felt like I was being implied. "Wait for me for a while. I'll wash up. You haven't had breakfast yet, right?"

"Don't worry about us, we're not hungry." Sha said hurriedly.

Orcs usually have two meals a day, and they are grateful to the Beast God if they can eat one meal a day in the cold season. But no one has ever eaten three meals a day like Su Ling. However, with Su Ling's appetite, one meal of his can cover her entire day's appetite, so he has no right to say anything. Tiger Wing is also good at hunting, so he will definitely not let Su Ling starve. But even without Tiger Wing, I believe that Su Ling is so smart that she will not starve.

Su Ling didn't say anything else and went to wash up first. When she came to the stone jar, she found that the water that was half used yesterday was now full. She knew that these two people came to see her this morning and hadn't gotten up yet, so she went to help her fill the jar.

Although both of them said they didn't want to eat, Su Ling still made three servings of breakfast, saying that it was to thank them for helping to fetch water. If they didn't want to eat, they wouldn't be asked to help. In the end, they still ate breakfast together.

"By the way, Huya, is your mother feeling better today?"

When this was mentioned, Huya was obviously happier and nodded heavily, "Mom is much better now. She can get out of bed and walk around today. She didn't vomit after drinking the broth. Mom asked me to thank you. Your method is very good. I will come to thank you in person when she gets better. When father saw that Mom was better, he returned to the hunting team and said he would see if he could find some sticky honey and water for Mom to drink."

Orcs are like this. If they don't go hunting that day, they can't share the food. "It's good that it's useful. Then your mother is alone in the cave. Is it okay for you to come here?"

"It's okay. My mother asked me to come here. She said that I can go to the fields now and cook for myself. She told me not to worry and to work hard here."

"Hu Ya, is your mother okay?" Sha listened for a long time and knew what they were talking about. She also knew something about Aunt Chun's illness, and her mother couldn't do anything about it. Now she heard that she was better, so she became curious.

Huya told her what happened yesterday.

Sha looked at Su Ling with even more admiration and made up her mind to learn skills from Su Ling.
