Traveling through the world of beasts, making a living

Long Ying and Qing Li woke up early, kissed Mona on the cheek, and set off to build the kiln. Bi Xi and Wu Shuang were quietly preparing Mona's breakfast.

Wushuang gently placed the breakfast on the table and left the room with Bixi.

Mona slowly opened her eyes, looked at the food on the table, and her heart was filled with warmth.

After dinner, Mona decided to find Longying and Qingli to see how the kiln was progressing.

She came to the front of the cave and saw Longying and Qingli busy at work, their clothes soaked with sweat.

Mona picked up the animal skin towel beside her, walked to Long Ying, and gently wiped the sweat off his face.

Long Ying felt Mona's concern and turned to look at her with love in his eyes.

"Thank you, little one." said Long Ying.

"You're welcome. This is what I should do. Qingli, come here quickly. I'll help you wipe it too." Mona replied with a smile.

Qingli ran over happily, raised her sweaty face, and approached Mona, "Wipe it quickly, I'm blinded and can't see you."

"You are so grown up, but you are still so frivolous. Where is the Qingli from before? Give him back to me." Mona grabbed Qingli's ear and said coquettishly and viciously.

“娜，我错了，我错了，狼的耳朵别乱揪，我会忍不住的。”说完，还在蒙娜耳边轻轻吹了口气。引得蒙娜一顿娇羞，小拳头也揍上青璃胸口。青璃却无限满足，双眼都是爱意，逮住双手，顺便偷了个吻。

"Little one, we agreed that you should stay home and stay home. Be obedient and I will take you home."

"No, I'm bored at home alone. Watching you guys do things makes me feel at ease."

"Be good, be obedient. You are already in your advanced stage of pregnancy and it is not suitable for you to run around. Besides, we can't tell friend from foe right now. Your safety is the most important thing."

Mona couldn't persuade him, so she had to let Long Ying carry the baby back to the house. After Long Ying settled the little one down, he stepped out and disappeared into the yard.

Mona sat under the red fruit tree, holding her cheeks, her thoughts drifting away.

At this time, a gust of wind blew and blew down a few red fruits. Mona picked up one and put it in her mouth. The sour and sweet taste made her smile.

"Witch, help!" A short, honest-looking male orc shouted outside the yard.

"Who are you? What happened?" Mona stood up and walked out of the yard.

"I'm from the Silver Wolf tribe, and I'm in charge of digging the yellow mud outside. One of the orcs I went with today was bitten by a poisonous snake. Now he's pale, his lips are purple, and he's foaming at the mouth."

“Where are the people now?”

"It's right next to the big puddle. Our clan leader invites you over."

Mona looked at the orc suspiciously and confirmed that she had never seen him before. Although she had doubts in her heart, she still prioritized saving people.

The two of them rushed to the large puddle. The beastmen had already gathered together, chattering among themselves, "I guess he won't live long. He's already spitting foam."

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, the witch is coming, get out of the way!" the short male shouted at the top of his voice.

Mona walked into the crowd and took a look. "Oh my god, I actually recognize him! This is the guard from the Herbivore Tribe. I've seen him a few times. He has two tooth holes on his calf, slowly oozing dark purple blood. I wonder who has wrapped a soft vine tightly around the wound. It's stopping the poison from spreading upwards. Hmm, the approach is basically correct." Mona agreed wholeheartedly.

Her face, on the other hand, was in poor condition. It was pale and covered in beads of sweat. Her lips were dark purple, and foam formed at the corners of her mouth. If she didn't get the serum in time, even a god wouldn't be able to save her. Mona looked around but couldn't see Bixi and Wushuang. She frowned.

"Two men, carry him to the Herbivore Witch Doctor."

Two orcs came over, carrying the injured orc and rushing to the witch doctor's medicine hut with ease. Mona followed closely with her bulging belly.

The witch doctor came running over and said, "This is a poisonous snake bite. Quick, put it on the stone bed." He took out a bone knife and cut a cross on the two tooth holes. He squeezed hard with his hands. After a cup of tea, when the blood turned red, he let go. Then he searched among the herbs, took out one, chewed it in his mouth, spit it on a piece of light animal skin, carefully placed it on the wound, and tied it with a thin straw rope.

"Whether it can be healed or not depends entirely on the will of the divine beast! Alas...!"

"All of you go out and don't disturb him from recovering." Mona drove away the beasts, and she and the witch doctor stayed behind.

"Master witch doctor, go and boil some detoxifying herbs for him to drink. I'll stay here." The witch doctor nodded and walked out of the medicine room. Mona looked around to see if there was anyone around, and her thoughts entered the system. "Tongzi, exchange for the dismembered snake venom serum." "Okay, host." In the blink of an eye, a syringe appeared in her hand, and the potion was inside. Mona quickly injected him. Then she put the syringe back into the space. She touched her fluctuating heart. "Calm down, calm down."

"Na, Na, where are you?" Bixi's anxious voice came. "I'm here." As soon as the words were spoken, two beasts came tumbling in, one on each side grabbing Mona's arms, examining her from head to toe. "Are you okay? I was so scared." Wushuang patted his chest, as if to calm his racing heart.

"I'm fine. I was worried about you two too. I didn't see you two by the big puddle. Where did you go?"

"We are two males, and we are not afraid of going anywhere. Seeing that you didn't eat much last night, we went to the depths of the Lega Forest. We hunted a unicorn for you to eat."

"Next time, tell me where you're going. Don't you know I'll worry?"

"I know, I know." The two beasts each supported one side, and Bixi even touched Mona's pregnant belly with her hand, "Baby, I am your second father. You must be good and don't bother your mother. When you are born, I will take you to catch wild animals." Wushuang was not to be outdone and reached out to touch her, "Baby, I am your third father. I will teach you how to plant and identify herbs."

The dragon cub inside the belly seemed to understand, puffing up two lumps on its belly and facing the palms of its two fathers. The two male beasts showed their joy at becoming fathers for the first time.

After all the hard work, the sun was high in the sky and Bixi was preparing lunch. When Longying and Qingli heard about it, they put down their work and hurried home.

As soon as they entered the door, the two beasts looked left and right, up and down anxiously, and only let go of their worries after they were sure that there was no problem.

"I'm hungry, let's eat first. Today we're having the unicorn meat that Bixi and Wushuang fought over, which is my favorite." Mona deliberately changed the subject.

"We can't do anything to you. The kiln is already built. We just need to dry the embryos before putting them in the kiln. The beasts have already gone to chop the firewood. Don't run around unless you have something to do. We escaped danger today. If it were an orc with ulterior motives, what would you have us do?"

Mona's eyes lit up after hearing this. Firewood, wow, why didn't I think of that? Charcoal can also be burned in kilns to make pottery. Charcoal is good. In the cold and snowy seasons, kangs are burned. Charcoal is mainly used to smelt iron.

"My dear beast husbands, I have something to discuss with you."

"I knew you couldn't sit still. Tell me, what's the matter? You're not allowed to show up this time. We promise to take care of it for you."

"We need a lot of firewood to make pottery, and we can also make charcoal from it. This kind of charcoal is good because it can keep the fire burning even in cold and snowy seasons. It is mainly used for iron smelting. After dinner, I will explain to you how to make charcoal."

Everyone ate their meal in their own thoughts, until Mona put down her chopsticks. She opened the oven and searched for instructions on how to make charcoal. It was pretty much the same as pottery, except with a smoke vent in the kiln. Once the smoke was exhausted and the wood was completely burned, the vent was sealed, along with the fire channel. After three to five days of natural cooling, charcoal was formed.

"Brother Ying, Qingli, I'll leave this to you. Bixi and Wushuang will still be responsible for making the embryos. Once this is completed, we'll collect the rice. I wonder how the second batch of harvest will be? After the rice is put into storage, we will study how to smelt iron and forge weapons."

"There's no rush to smelt iron and forge weapons. Let's wait until you give birth to a baby!" Long Ying decisively refused.

After the four beasts were packed up, they repeatedly reminded that if someone came to call them, they should not leave the courtyard if they did not know them. If there was anything, they should wait for them to come back.
