Early in the morning, as soon as it was light, You Ran got up.

After leaving the cave, there was a cool breeze that made her shiver.

I walked to the entrance of the patriarch's cave and listened for any movement, but there was no sound.

"Father, are you there?"

"I'm here."

The voice came from behind, and You Ran was so scared that she almost jumped up. She turned around and saw that it was the clan leader, and then she felt relieved.

He smiled and said, "Father, you scared me to death. I thought you were at home. Why are you up so early?"

The clan leader smiled and said, "I'm old and can't sleep well."

He couldn't say that he was woken up by the need to pee.

"What do you want from me?"

Mu Youran handed him a large bowl of Jerusalem artichoke paste. "Father, this is food that Xiaomei Caixia and I found in the wild yesterday. It's enough to fill our stomachs."

"I was thinking about whether I could ask my father to organize people to dig up the Jerusalem artichokes. After all, there are so many of them there, and it would be a waste to let them rot in the ground."

When the patriarch heard that it was food, his eyes widened in surprise.

"Can this be eaten?"

Mu Youran nodded: "Well, Luo Bai and I ate it last night, you can try it."

The patriarch looked at the food in the bowl. It was white and looked clean, so he was quite appetizing.

He picked up the bowl and took a sip, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"This food is so soft, it can be softened without the use of teeth."

This is simply the food of choice for these old orcs and their little ones.

He looked at You Ran excitedly: "Where is this thing? How many are there?"

"Not far from the tribe, there's a big hillside covered with this stuff."

As soon as these words were spoken, the patriarch slapped his thigh excitedly, raised his head and ate all the Jerusalem artichoke paste.

"I'll have those orcs who are still at home go gather the food!"

If they can get all of this back, they won't have to starve this winter, and the kids and these old men will be able to have enough to eat.

Just thinking about it makes me excited!

Then he ran to the square and yelled at the surrounding caves.

"Hey~ All the orcs at home, come out!"

The orcs who were still sleeping at home suddenly heard the voice of the chief and ran out immediately without any delay.

Some were even wearing animal skins while running.

"what happened?"

Qingshan had just gotten up when he was urged out of the cave by the tribe leader for no apparent reason.

"How should I know?"

Yingtaki didn't know the situation either. He and Qingshan had just woken up.

Soon, the entire square was filled with a dense crowd of people.

The patriarch stood on the earthen platform and looked at them excitedly.

"Today, all the orcs who are not participating in the kiln firing and hunting, all carry your backpacks and follow me outside to collect!"

"Ah~"

Some reluctant orcs felt very depressed when they heard that they were going to gather.

"I don't want to go. I was exhausted from hunting yesterday. Today I just want to hold the female at home and play with her."

"Who isn't? I don't want to go either!"

Not only them, some females also don't want to.

It was tiring enough to serve the males at night, and now they had to be taken out to collect, so they didn't want to go.

Lu Bai stepped forward and said softly, "Chief, I won't go. I don't like eating those wild vegetables and fruits anyway."

As soon as these words were spoken, many males echoed them.

"Yes, Chief, it's going to snow soon, and there won't be any fruit to eat outside."

The patriarch did not care about their attitude, after all, what they said was true.

But this time we are not collecting fruits and wild vegetables.

He said excitedly: "We are not collecting wild vegetables and fruits, we are collecting...collecting..."

He turned to look at You Ran and for a moment forgot the name of that thing.

“Jerusalem artichokes!”

Mu Youran reminded quietly.

The chief immediately said, "Ah, yes, Jerusalem artichokes!"

"A kind of food especially suitable for cubs and old orcs, very soft and mushy!"

The orcs who were not interested at first immediately became interested when they heard that it was suitable for young cubs and old orcs!

You know, winter is the peak season for giving birth every year, but the shortage of food in winter causes many cubs to starve to death or freeze to death.

If they had extra food, their cubs would have a better chance of survival.

Everyone immediately dispersed and went back to prepare.

Mu Youran also hurried back with the empty bowl, carrying the backpack and following.

Huang Yu stood behind her, feeling very worried, and grabbed her hand to stop her from going out.

"You Ran, why don't you tell me where it is and I'll go there for you."

She knew Huang Yu was worried about her, but she didn't want to stay in the cave and do nothing, feeling like a parasite.

She looked up at him and gave him a reassuring smile: "Don't worry, Father will go with us. There are many orcs here today, it's okay."

"But what if you faint again?"

Huang Yu knew that there were a lot of people here today, but those people were not him, so he was worried.

"Why don't you come with me to the cave, or I can go with you to collect."

As soon as these words were spoken, Huang Yu suddenly felt that this was an excellent idea. It could take care of her at all times and also satisfy her desire to go out.

However, You Ran directly refused.

He looked at Huang Yu's worried expression with a firm gaze.

"No, Huang Yu, you are a male, a powerful male with strength. You can't follow me around every day."

“If we don’t work hard to live, all that awaits us is a terrible tomorrow.”

These words were a bit harsh, and Mu Youran didn't know if Huang Yu could understand.

But this was what she really thought. She felt that the environment of this beastly world was very unfriendly to her.

It would be fine if she was a native female, but she is not. She has seen a peaceful and prosperous society and a world where everyone is equal.

She doesn't want to live under someone else's umbrella. If she has to, she also wants to hold an umbrella for the people she cares about.

She smiled softly, "I'm a female. I don't have your special abilities or strength, but I do have hands. This is what I can do now. I don't want to live a useless life."

Having said that, she stood on tiptoe, raised her hands to hook Huang Yu's neck, tilted her head back and kissed him on the lips.

"Besides, winter is coming soon, and I want to go to Yunmengze to exchange pottery for some things I've never seen before."

"Don't be lazy. If I see a nice hide and can't afford it, it's your responsibility as a beast husband!"

At this time, Xiaomei and Caixia shouted outside. She touched Huangyu's face and said with a smile.

"Go quickly, remember the feather you promised me last time, don't forget it!"

After saying that, she ran out of the cave, leaving Huang Yu alone at home.

He was a little dazed, a little shocked, and a little distressed when listening to this long speech.

This doesn't sound like something a female would say.

Don’t females always compete at home to see who dresses better, eats better, and looks better?

How did she...

Huang Yu couldn't describe the feeling, but he knew that Youran was right.

If a family wants to live a good life, they must work together.

But she is a female, so delicate. Her voice is usually soft when she talks to me, and she even fainted yesterday.

He really had a lot of worries.

But he knew that if he just followed her, You Ran would be unhappy.

It seems that he can only work harder every day and try to finish firing the pottery in this kiln as soon as possible.

Then he would have time to spend with her.

Thinking of this, he strode out of the cave. As soon as he walked out, he suddenly remembered You Ran's last words.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, his eyes full of doting, and then he returned to the cave, and in a flash he turned into a huge green peacock. He turned around and picked up the three most beautiful feathers from his body and put them in the cup where the roses were previously placed.

Just put it on the table so You Ran can see it when she comes back.

When she was alone at home, other males would not dare to approach her easily after seeing this.

For the first time, Huang Yu felt that his beautiful feathers were an advantage. As long as You Ran liked them, he would rather give away all his tail feathers.
