A guide to surviving in the world of beasts

Watching Hu Yi dive into the rain again, Su Ling looked worriedly at the place where his figure disappeared, and couldn't help feeling annoyed. Why didn't she make a raincoat in advance when she already knew it was going to rain?

No matter how upset you are, you still have to boil some water so that Hu Yi can take a hot bath when he comes back.

Fortunately, the kitchen utensils and stove were not simply built at the entrance of the cave, but a thatched shed was built right next to the entrance.

That piece of land was slightly higher than the ground, and when the rainwater flowed there, it was intercepted by the raised surface, and then turned in another direction and flowed slowly downwards.

Seeing this scene, Su Ling nodded with satisfaction. What she was thinking about was that rainwater might flow in on rainy days. Thanks to her thoughtful consideration at the beginning, otherwise, once the rain came, she wouldn't be able to have any food, let alone hot water to drink.

But it was raining so heavily and luckily there was no wind, otherwise I’m afraid this thatched hut would not be able to withstand the strong wind.

After boiling water, Su Ling returned to the cave, picked up the almost finished clothes, put away the last bit, picked up the clothes and checked them up and down, there was no problem, "Finally it's done."

However, it is not known whether the orcs, after putting on their clothes, should take them off before fighting, or whether they should transform without taking off their clothes in an emergency, which would damage the clothes. Su Ling could not help but imagine that scene.

"Ah! Stop thinking." The more he thought about it, the more outrageous it became.

After folding the clothes and putting them on Hu Yi's bed, I returned to the kitchen. It had been raining for quite some time, but the sky was still dark, without any light at all. It looked like there was more rain to come.

Hu Yi should have arrived at the tribe by now, but he hasn't come back yet. It seems he was delayed.

When I arrived at the kitchen, the water was already boiling and hot steam was rising above the clay pot. I changed to another clay pot and continued to boil water.

It was not early anymore, Su Ling thought. The sky was dark and it might get dark soon. She should cook early since she couldn't leave the cave in the rain anyway.

After making the decision, I got busy, only looking back at the road back to the cave from time to time.

I don't know how many times I looked at the road towards the cave, and I thought I wouldn't be able to see anything this time. But when a figure appeared in the rain, Su Ling thought it must be Hu Yi who came back, so she ran to the cave entrance and kept looking around.

When people got closer, they could see clearly that it was Hu Yi's disheveled figure drenched by the rain, and he felt like a drowned rat.

It's really difficult to survive in such heavy rain without a raincoat and an umbrella, but such heavy rain may not be much better.

Su Ling kept waving, "Hurry up, hurry up."

Hu Yi quickened his pace and approached, frowning, and said helplessly, "Go in quickly, don't get wet in the rain."

Su Ling smiled and picked up the animal skin that she had prepared in advance and handed it to him, "I'll be careful not to get wet when standing inside. You wipe it off quickly. I'll boil some hot water for you to soak in. Is the tribe okay?"

He took the animal skin, wiped the water off his hair and face, and seeing Su Ling was about to pour him bath water, he quickly put the animal skin down and walked over to hold her.

"It's okay. When it rained, the chief was in the warehouse, and then the tribesmen went to the cave in the rain. They took precautions against water in places that might get in. They had already done it when I went there. Then I took people to check on the tribe."

He took the hot water from her hand and said, "I'll take care of the rest. I smell the fragrance. I'm a little hungry. You can just cook."

He handed the water to Hu Yi and said, "The meal will be ready soon. The clothes are ready and on your bed. It's raining and the weather is getting colder, so remember to put on your clothes."

When it rains, you can only wash in the cave. Hu Yi carried water into his cave and saw the clothes on the bed at a glance.

Su was busy making food, but her eyes drifted towards the cave from time to time. It was not because she had a habit of peeping at other people taking a bath, but because she was curious about how Hu Yi would look wearing the clothes she made.

After she finished cooking and put the meal on the table, when she looked over for the eighth time, Hu Yi came out of the shower.

The black animal skin coat resembles Tiger Wing very much, appearing extremely calm and composed, which makes people convinced for no reason.

Tiger Wing walked closer, "The clothes fit very well."

"Well, it not only fits well, but also looks good. It's the best-looking one I've ever seen," Su Ling exclaimed. Such a simple piece of clothing made Hu Yi look like he couldn't afford it. It turned out that clothes hangers were really unreasonable.

As far as Hu Yi could remember, his mother had only made clothes for him when he was a child. From now on, there was someone else who made clothes for him.

Hu Yi took Su Ling's hand. Su Ling's fingers had slender knuckles, and her skin was white, tender, smooth and soft. Hu Yi couldn't help but caressing it.

Su Ling took his hand in return, interlocking their fingers. A blush appeared on her face. In the dim light, it seemed as if they were the only two people in the world, and the heavy rain blocked out everything from the outside world.

Hu Yi hugged Su Ling's waist, bent down and kissed her. When their lips touched, time seemed to stop at this moment.

After a long time, Hu Yi finally let go of Su Ling's ravaged red lips. Su Ling leaned on Hu Yi's chest, breathing rapidly, and Hu Yi gently helped her breathe.

When Su Ling recovered, she was already being held by Hu Yi and sitting on his lap at the dining table.

Su Ling supported Hu Yi's chest and sat up straight, "Put me down, let's eat first, it's almost cold."

Hu Yi kissed her forehead, put her beside him, poured her a bowl of soup, cooled it down and put it on the table, "Drink some soup first to warm your stomach."

Su Ling sipped the soup and occasionally ate the food Hu Yi brought her. "Don't worry about me. Just eat."

Hu Yi agreed, but still picked up some meat for her from time to time. Su Ling was too thin and didn't like eating meat very much. If he didn't pick up some meat for her, she would definitely not eat it again.

After dinner, Hu Yi went to check the situation in the small warehouse again. When he came back, he saw Su Ling writing and drawing on the ground. He walked over and sat next to her. There were some things he had never seen before.

Seeing the man stop what he was doing, he asked, "What is this painting? It looks so strange."

Su Ling narrowed her eyes and smiled, pointing the stick in her hand at the ground, "Look, this thing is called a stone mill, it's used to grind flour. Didn't we harvest corn? We can use this stone mill to grind the corn kernels into powder, and then the corn flour can be processed into food to eat."

He also explained to Hu Yi the principles of how the stone mill worked.

"I know. This thing is not difficult to make. If it rains tomorrow, leave the tribe. I will do it."

"But it's raining outside and it's hard to find stones to make it. We can just do it when we have time."

"It's okay. Orcs are in good health. When they were hunting in the past, it was common for them to hide in the rain for several hours when it rained."

Su Ling looked at the rain, which seemed to have a hole in the sky, and was still worried, "Let's go when the rain is lighter."

Hu Yi didn't want to make Su Ling worry, so he agreed.
