"Leave it to me! It's just cooked food, right? I'll go find the Chief Witch to borrow some fire. Actually, this fire was originally brought back by Xixi, so it's only right that Xixi use it!" Er Na thumped his chest loudly, agreeing on the spot without the slightest hesitation.

"Erna! You're so kind!" Xixi praised from the bottom of her heart. As expected of the ancient times, there was no scheming and intrigue. Look at her, what an innocent child she is!

The little female's sincere praise energized Er Na, who patted his chest and continued to assure her, "If you need anything else, just ask, I'll take care of it!"

"Really...really?" Xixi exclaimed in surprise, her big, watery eyes blinking as if they were about to pierce one's heart.

Without the slightest hesitation, Erna excitedly replied, "Of course! Leave it all to me!"

Xixi stopped being coy and started listing the items one by one on her fingers.

From indoor furniture, such as stone tables and benches, to utensils and seasonings for cooking, to personal clothing, needles and thread, it was suggested that it would be more convenient if a vat of water could be provided every day for her to drink, cook, and wash.

Er Na listened attentively, even imitating Xi Xi by counting on his fingers and repeating it again. Finally, he patted his chest again and promised repeatedly that he would finish everything before dark.

As a time traveler from modern society, Xixi felt that these were things that could be done in this era and were essential for living alone. Although it would be a bit troublesome to carry them back and forth, she promised to pay Erna enough compensation!

Even though she is penniless now, once she gains a foothold in the tribe, she will use her knowledge to help the tribe create a lot of wealth, and then it will be enough to repay her debts.

In Hengyan's view, this was an outrageous demand, a case of taking advantage of someone's kindness!

He snorted heavily, then plopped down on a stone bench, cursing incessantly: "Why don't you just fly to the sky? Why don't you fly to the sky? You dare to ask for valuable things, you're going to empty Er'na's pockets!"

But since his mouth is on Er Na's face and his legs are on Er Na's body, he can't be stopped, he simply can't be stopped!

After Erna agreed to everything, he grinned and went off to do his job without looking back.

His excitement was exactly the same as that of a male who had just mated with a female.

After Erna left, Hengyan looked at Xixi with a cold face and a look of utter disdain.

Xixi rolled her eyes and retreated back into the cave. "Alright, I'll go in, you stand guard. Let's not make things difficult for each other!"

After saying that, Xixi returned to the cave, closed the door, and showed no intention of going out again.

Hengyan crossed his arms and stared at the cave entrance for a long while before slowly withdrawing his gaze.

Time passed quickly and it was evening in the blink of an eye.

Erna returned twice during this period carrying things, but left again very quickly, showing no intention of stopping at all.

After all, he hadn't finished getting what the little female wanted yet. He said he would get it done before dark, and he would never break his promise!

As night fell, a male passed by and exclaimed in surprise at Hengyan, "What are you still doing here?"

Hengyan was taken aback by the question, and before he could answer, the other party continued, "Today is Nana's first night. Whoever is the first to have sex with her will be the first beastman. I saw that your several mates are all surrounding Nana, but what about you..."

Before the man could finish speaking, Hengyan had already rushed out like a fleeting shadow, leaving the small courtyard empty.

"They left so easily! I made quite a few preparations!" A deep male voice drifted in from outside the door.

Xi Xi felt a tightness in her chest, and an ominous premonition crept into her heart.

He quickly put on a beast-patterned robe over his coarse linen clothes, took out the dagger from his temporary space, and held it firmly in his hand, concealed by the robe.

Having done all this, Xixi pressed herself against the stone cave, holding her breath and listening to the sounds outside.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was no sound coming from outside the cave.

Perhaps due to excessive tension and mental exhaustion, or perhaps because she hadn't slept well the night before and had too much to do today, she suddenly yawned and fell asleep leaning against the cave entrance.

I don't know how much time passed, but suddenly there was a rhythmic knocking on the door.

"Thump...thump...thump thump..."

"Who!" She was jolted awake, her heart leaping into her throat. Her right hand reached down and gripped the dagger firmly in her hand.

"It's me!" came the middle-aged male voice, calm yet powerful.

For some reason, Xixi felt that the voice was very familiar, as if a treasure hidden deep in her memory had been suddenly awakened.

She instinctively pushed open the cave door, rushed towards the other person with joy, and exclaimed happily, "Fourth Uncle!"

"This is not the place to talk, get out of here with me!" The person dodged Xixi's embrace, grabbed her wrist, and dragged her away.

The force was so great that Xixi almost fell over, staggering several steps before barely catching up. She hurriedly asked, "Fourth Uncle, what happened? Where are we going?"

“These damned rats actually wanted to send you to a public female cave! Go do business with your fourth uncle. Even though you’ll be a despised wandering beastman, it’s still better than that filthy place!” The fourth uncle explained, completely oblivious to Xixi’s reluctance. He held onto her wrist tightly and ran all the way.

Xixi felt that the scenery around her was so blurry that she couldn't tell where she was.

Most importantly... although peddlers are also wandering orcs, they are different from those undisciplined wandering orcs who only burn, kill, and plunder. Peddlers are organized, disciplined, have a code of conduct, and have a moral bottom line!

According to Uncle Si, he never thought of them as despised wandering beastmen. On the contrary, they were good people who were loved and sought after, and who brought about the flow of goods!

My fourth uncle is acting very strangely today!

Xixi's heart skipped a beat. She pushed off with her feet, trying to stop herself, while simultaneously straining her arms to break free.

"What's wrong?" "Fourth Uncle" remained shrouded in shadow, still firmly holding her wrist, not allowing her to break free at all.

"How did you get back? I mean, how did you get back in time?"

Back then, even though her fourth uncle had left, he would still come to see her whenever he passed by the Shuoshu tribe on his business trips.

Two weeks ago, her fourth uncle wrote to say that he had encountered some trouble in the Eastern Continent and might be delayed for a while, so he probably wouldn't be able to see her coming-of-age ceremony.

Fourth Uncle never lies. If he says he's in trouble, then the trouble must be serious. How could he possibly get back so quickly?

This is a question, and also a test!
