The Beast King's Little Wife

Chapter 006: The Expensive "Stone"

After gathering some dry firewood and carefully lighting it, the cave was filled with warmth.

After washing the meat, skillfully skewering it, and placing it on the prepared rack to bake, Lin Dujuan revealed a happy smile.

It turns out that after time travel, all you need is a pile of fire to make you feel incredibly happy.

However, she soon realized that she was all alone.

As for Tiger Fang and the others, they had long since hidden far away, and their eyes were filled with fear as they looked at the flames.

Thinking of ancient historical records, primitive humans initially feared fire. Only as humans evolved fully did they begin to use fire to scare away wild animals...

"Don't be afraid. This kind of flame won't burn your skin if you don't get close to it."

Lin Dujuan demonstrated and gestured for Huya to come over.

Fortunately, after only a moment's hesitation, Huya strode towards her.

Huya patted the wild grass around him and sat down with Lin Dujuan.

After discovering that the flames would not harm him, Tiger Fang bared his teeth at his family members in the distance.

"Okay, let's go take a look too."

Changyueya spoke timidly and slowly approached the flames.

The two little ones were still curious at first, and were initially afraid. But as they got closer, they realized that the flames wouldn't actually cause any harm as long as you didn't hold them in your hand.

So the little guy started pulling out the firewood sticks inside, sometimes warming them with his hand, sometimes blowing them out...

"This meat tastes even better when it's grilled."

Lin Dujuan flipped the meat skewers, explaining scientific knowledge as she did so.

As the meat neared the end of its cooking, its aroma filled the air, causing everyone to swallow hard.

"Sigh, what a pity, there are no seasonings. I must go find some seasonings or salty things another day. I wonder if they have any here?"

Salt is an essential substance for human survival.

If humans do not consume salt for a long period of time, they will not only be prone to goiter, but also find the food unpalatable.

Most importantly, without salt for a long time, one becomes weak even when walking. Therefore, salt is the most important thing in this era.

While she was still pondering, Tiger Mom turned around and went back to her treasure room.

"Female, is this the salt you wanted?"

Seeing the crystal that looked like a stone, Lin Dujuan still took it, applied some, and tasted it.

"Yes, yes, that's it! I didn't expect you to have salt here! This is really great." Thank you, Putuo, at least this place still has salt.

"Such things do exist, but they are very expensive. We would have to trade a lot of animal hides to get just one stone."

Tiger Mom frowned and sighed.

"Huh? This was obtained through trade, not something you found yourself?"

"No, how could we possibly find something like this in a small village like ours? To get this kind of expensive stone, we have to trade animal hides and meat with larger tribes."

"So what do you usually eat and wear?"

Lin Dujuan glanced at them, too embarrassed to ask any further. Because almost everyone in the village was completely naked.

“We don’t wear anything except for winter. We use animal skins to keep warm and protect ourselves from the cold. We can only use these animal skins to exchange for expensive stones and some grains that we think are delicious from other tribes.”

"Delicious food?"

Lin Dujuan was surprised.

Then, something occurred to him, "What do you usually harvest? Is it just this kind of meat?"

Tiger Mom looked at her helplessly. "That's right, besides the men going up the mountain to hunt and the women staying home to take care of the children and cook stew, what else can we do? We can only get food from some special large tribes. Just thinking about the food made from that food makes it so delicious."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dujuan's conclusion was...

The people here only know how to hunt for food. In other words, everyone in this place can only rely on animal meat as their staple food.

Grain and salt were considered very precious items.

"There will be food...."

Staring intently at the grilled meat, Lin Dujuan secretly clenched her fists.

She doesn't want to live a life where she eats meat every day.

When we rubbed salt on them, the two little ones started opening their mouths, drool dripping out.

Seeing the two little tigers sitting upright, looking at her pitifully, Lin Dujuan's heart melted. She tore off two pieces and gave them to the two little guys.

He just stuffed that little thing called "tiger mouth" directly into his mouth.

"Wait, give it a blow."

"hiss……"

Unfortunately, it was too late to stop it. Huya had already put the food in his mouth, his eyes watering from the heat, but to Lin Dujuan's dismay, the child still didn't spit out the meat, even though it was so hot.

"You eat it, female, we'll grill some more."

Tiger Mom smiled, annoyed at the sight.

Lin Dujuan was indeed extremely hungry. She had only eaten some fruit that day, but fruit wasn't very filling. By now, she was starving.

Without refusing, she started biting into it. After only two bites, she realized something was wrong.

Looking up, I saw Tiger Tooth staring longingly at my meat.

Feeling embarrassed to eat alone any longer, Lin Dujuan generously offered him a piece of meat as well.

"You can have a piece of the cooked one too."

Tiger's big, watery eyes suddenly lit up. It opened its mouth, gently nibbled on the piece of meat, and slowly chewed and swallowed with contentedly narrowed eyes. Its refined manner made Lin Dujuan sigh, realizing that even tigers could eat meat in a gentlemanly way.

Lin Dujuan enjoyed the meal quite a bit because it included cooked meat.

The Tiger Tooth family also tasted the deliciousness of cooked meat for the first time, and they all ate until their bellies were round.

"Oh, Tiger's Mouth Father, our food is almost gone. You have to go hunting in the mountains tomorrow. Otherwise, we will all go hungry."

Here, food is always the biggest problem.

Men have to prepare food all year round, while women, besides serving men, take care of children.

"Tiger Tooth, I want to go outside for a walk." Lin Dujuan pointed outside; she was a little full and didn't dare lie down right now, even though it was getting late.

Tiger Tooth glanced at the sky outside, and finally nodded and stepped out of the cave.

Along the way, Lin Dujuan looked around the village and finally confirmed that there were indeed no vegetables or grains grown here.

As for the entrances to each cave, some were decorated with animal skins, while others were haphazardly planted with wild fruit trees.

"Main food: meat and wild fruit."

After wandering around half the village, Lin Dujuan suggested going home because she didn't want to be watched by other orcs.

However, once inside the cave, she felt embarrassed as she was stared at by Tiger Fang's enthusiastic eyes.

It seems she's now Tiger Tooth's wife, which means tonight she's going to sleep with Tiger Tooth... sleep with a lecherous tiger...
