Chapter 147 Numbness

These past few days, all the members of the Black Deer tribe have been exuding a great deal of hostility, and they all look very lonely! They're just sitting around doing nothing!

Hou is diligently embroidering the cross-stitch that Xu Que redeemed for her from the system's exchange shop! Hou has no other business intentions for this embroidery; it's purely a hobby. I could have finished watching this long ago! Xu Que, who was sunbathing, found a piece of wood nearby so that the children wouldn't disturb the elite armed forces members' training.

I took out a multi-functional power drill from the system warehouse, replaced it with a special carving drill bit, and started carving the shape of a car on the wood.

After carving the car's exterior, he carved out the headlights, grille, front and rear windshields, windshield wipers, and so on.

The car's tires and axles were directly connected and secured to the bottom of the wooden cart. The doors were joined together using tiny mortise and tenon joints, allowing for free opening and closing, pushing and pulling!

After the wooden toy car was finished, Xu Que picked it up and started pushing it forward and backward on the ground.

He would also deliberately shout loudly from time to time, "Dududu...woo...woo!"

The children who were watching the elite armed members of the tribe turned to look at Xu Que after hearing him drive with his mouth.

When the children saw Xu Que playing with such a fun thing all by himself, they could no longer contain their curiosity and ran over to watch him!

Xu Que saw the tribal children watching him, so he deliberately found a steep slope, took the wooden cart to the top of the slope and let go. The wooden toy car bumped and rolled down the steep slope.

The tribal child grabbed it, examined it carefully for a while, and then, imitating Xu Que, took the wooden toy car to the top of the slope, let go of it down the steep slope, and let it run down the slope on its own.

"Hmm! These little guys! Finally, they've stopped interfering with the training! I didn't expect I'm actually pretty good at taking care of kids!" Xu Que muttered to himself.

Watching the children argue about the order in which they should play with the cars, Xu Que couldn't help but step in and say, "One turn for each person! No fighting, no more and no less! I'll be your referee!"

"Here you go! You play first, then it's your turn..." Xu Que directed the group of children to play in an orderly manner.

Taking advantage of the children's inattention, Hou snatched their wooden toy car, climbed up to the top of a tree in a few quick movements, and sat on a dead branch to play by himself.

The little boy whose toy had been taken away looked longingly at the older girl who was climbing up the tree and wouldn't come down, and burst into tears on the spot.

Xu Que glared at her and roared, then circled around under the big tree. He looked up and glanced at her under her animal skin skirt, thinking to himself, "Hmm! That's it! You have to wear the leggings I gave you when you wear an animal skin skirt!"

"Don't cry! Don't cry! Uncle will scratch an Ultraman toy for you! We don't need that old car anymore! We'll give it to that lady!" Xu Que said as he wiped away the crying child's tears.

He then found seven or eight pieces of wood nearby, picked out a relatively large one, and took out a multi-functional power drill to start carving.

The children found it so fascinating to watch Xu Que carve! They sat in a circle around him, watching intently as he worked on the wood.

Hou felt it was no fun playing alone, so he slid down from the tree, climbed onto Xu Que's back, pressed his forehead against Xu Que's face, and watched him carve Ultraman!

The child, who had just been crying loudly, glanced at the wooden car lying to the side and lost interest! He now thought Ultraman was his favorite!

"Aren't you going to play with cars anymore?" Xu Que asked, turning his head to the side.

"Hmm! This is boring! I'm not playing anymore! This wooden Ultraman looks pretty fun!" Hou deliberately rubbed his hands together, looking like he was about to snatch it.

The children watching saw this and wanted to grab it, but knowing they couldn't win against the older girl, they burst into tears again!

"Stop scaring them, okay? You're old enough to have kids, and you're always picking on the children! You're so naughty!"

As Xu Que was carving, a sudden idea struck him, and he shouted, "Haha! I have a way to prevent you from stealing their Ultraman!"

"What method? I'll rob it right now, can you stop me?" Hou said, stretching out his hand as if ready to snatch it.

Xu Que put the half-carved Ultraman aside.

He picked up a piece of wood again and started carving it from head to toe.

When the carving reaches a point where it resembles the Ultraman on the first piece of wood, stop and set it aside.

Pick up another piece and start all over again. Continue until all seven or eight pieces of wood he collected have been carved!

"Huh? This is really hard to snatch! You've already completed one item, and then the second, third, fourth, and fifth items will follow suit!" Hou scratched his head and said to Xu Que.

"Or what? I'll finish one, and you can steal it!"

Xu Que handed the scraped wooden Ultraman figure to Hou, asking her to paint it with colors like beast blood.

Hou took the wooden figures from Xu Que and, based on his own ideas, painted each Ultraman a different color! Then he handed them over to the children one by one!

Watching the children in the tribe playing happily, Hou took Xu Que's hand and led him to the large iron pot used for cooking in the tribe, ready to show off his skills.

Hou followed Xu Que's example and called Ha Gang over, asking the very resilient Ha Gang to go to the wild buffalo pen and collect the wild eggs!

Ha Gang jumped straight into the chicken coop, quickly collected the eggs, and then jumped right back out.

Hou took out a cow horn cup from the animal skin food bag he carried on his back.

I tapped the eggs that Ha Gang had just picked out from the pheasant coop on the edge of the horn cup, and they landed in the cup relatively easily.

Slide a piece of butter that was prepared beforehand into the pot along the edge!

Once the butter has completely melted and is sizzling and bubbling, add the diced scallions to the boiling butter and stir-fry.

After frying for a while, slowly pour the eggs that were previously beaten in the horn cup into the pan. Soon the eggs will solidify into yellow and white pieces.

Finally, pour the lichen into the pot, stir it a few times as a symbolic gesture, and a delicious dish of stir-fried lichen and wild eggs is ready!

Xu Que picked up the chopsticks made of twigs and tasted them: "Mmm! They're pretty good! Much better than what I make! I'm so smart! I only need to watch someone cook once to learn how to cook!"

Hearing Xu Que praise her so generously, Hou was overjoyed: "From now on, I'll take care of all the food for the entire tribe! I'll just cook, and you all just eat!"

The Blackrock Tribe hunting team had a very successful day. They went hunting with the bows Xu Que had made for them! New equipment really makes a difference!
