Chapter 85: Starting to dig the cave again (2)

After getting up and washing up, she ate something simple, tied the soil-breaking tools that Xu Que had made with a cowhide rope, and attached them to the back seat of the wooden bicycle. Just like yesterday, she had Xu Que sit on the crossbar of the bicycle, and she pedaled with him to deliver the tools to the primitive people who were digging a hole.

They soon arrived at the tribe from last time and distributed the tools that Hou had promised them, one by one.

After receiving their respective tools from the roar, the primitive people of this tribe couldn't wait to take their tools to the cliff face and try them out.

I tried it and realized how much better it was! Although these tools are all made of wood, they are significantly more effective than their previous tools!

"Wow! How were these tools made? How did you manage to do it in such a short time? You guys make tools incredibly fast! No wonder you're the most advanced tribe in every way! Once we've settled our own settlement, I'll take my tribe members to your Black Deer tribe to learn!"

Hou nodded.

After delivering the tools to the primitive tribe that was digging a hole, Hou used the wooden bicycle that Xu Que had made for her to take him to a large park in front of them to enjoy the scenery.

He's been playing like a child lately, and he's been incredibly naughty!

He pedaled happily all the way, looking as if he never got tired.

Xu Que and Hou finally saw a steep slope with a gradient.

Hou was clearly out of breath. Seeing this, Xu Que jumped off the front crossbar of the wooden bicycle, and Hou went from pedaling to pushing the bicycle.

"Wow! I never expected your cycling skills to improve so quickly in such a short time! You're really amazing! You're such a progressive kid! I love you! And you're so cute!" Xu Que said, gently brushing the hair off Hou's forehead and looking at it affectionately.

"Of course! Humph!" Hou looked up at Xu Que with the same arrogance as before after Xu Que finished praising him.

“This seems to be our second time here, right? The first time I came here was when I first arrived in our Black Stone Tribe! Do you remember? You showed me around and introduced me to all the tribes here! I was quite nervous the first time I came here, but the second time I came here, I suddenly felt a little sad for no reason! Maybe it's because I feel like time has passed! Almost a year has passed without me realizing it! Time really flies! I really wish time would slow down!” Xu Que said, looking at Hou.

"I'm not really sad! I don't feel sad at all! Coming here with you this time, I'm just as excited as the first time, it feels great!" Hou said, laying the wooden bicycle flat on the ground and watching the sunset with Xu Que.

Hou clung tightly to Xu Que, took out the wooden comb Xu Que had given her, and waved it in front of him. She also shook the bell on the bracelet on her arm: "Look! This is what you gave me! It was the first time we met! And this mirror!" Hou flaunted these things in front of Xu Que, then took out a leather handkerchief from her animal-hide food bag and carefully wiped the wooden comb, mirror, and bracelet!

She wiped for a while, then adjusted the sneakers she was wearing and said to Xu Que, "Look! This is all broken! And the sole is cracked too! Sometimes when it rains, if I walk around in these shoes, a ton of water will get inside! It's really uncomfortable! And look! The bra you gave me is also a bit rotten here!"

"I'll just give you new ones! What's so difficult about that!" Xu Que said, then opened the system's exchange shop and redeemed two pairs of sneakers that Hou loved to wear! Hou didn't like wearing dress shoes at all! She loved wearing sneakers the most! The softer the sole, the better!

She redeemed a sun hat with sunglasses, two bras in her favorite patterns and colors, two pairs of black and white sweatpants, and a brown leather backpack. After redeeming all of these, she packed them all up and gave them to Hou.

Hou stared in disbelief at the bag Xu Que handed her, then hurriedly opened it and exclaimed excitedly and happily, "This, this is what I was talking about earlier?"

"I was just saying! Brother Xu Que, why did you buy it? Hehehe! But since you've already bought it, I won't be polite! I'm so happy! I'm in such a good mood! I love you to death, my Brother Xu Que!" After saying that, Hou hugged Xu Que and kissed his cheek hard.

Xu Que pulled Hou's leg over, took off the pair of white, worn-out sneakers Hou was wearing, and threw them into a ditch dozens of feet deep without Hou's consent. He then took the newly exchanged pair from the bag and put them on Hou's feet.

Hou looked longingly at the spot where Xu Que had thrown the shoes into the ditch: "Brother Xu Que, what are you doing? Those shoes are still wearable! It's such a waste to throw them away like that! I could have mended them and worn them for a long time! But you just threw them away!"

Xu Que looked at her with a mischievous grin: "That's already broken! You can't wear it! If it's broken, you have to throw it away! Look how pretty this new one looks on you! Out with the old, in with the new! It fits you perfectly! Here's another pair to alternate! Look here are two sets of underwear, alternate them! Two pairs of sweatpants! Alternate them! The tops are all matching sets! Try them on and see if they fit!"

"Okay! You bought so much! Can you even wear all of this?" Hou pouted and said to Xu Que.

"Wow! That's a lot! This is just the bare minimum! Two sets of each, no more, no less, to alternate wearing!"

"Okay! I'll change first!" She changed into the clothes Xu Que had given her in a secluded spot not far from him, hidden by weeds. Then, she confidently walked up to him and twirled in front of him: "How is it? Does it look good?"

Xu Que couldn't help but clap his hands: "It looks great! I didn't expect that something I randomly exchanged would fit you so well! My taste is pretty good too! If you wear this back now, you'll definitely dazzle everyone in the tribe! They'll all be so envious!"

"They'll be so envious? I don't believe it! They wouldn't envy my clothes! They prefer clothes and pants made of animal hide! They don't like mine at all! But it's okay! As long as I like it, that's enough! I really like the things Brother Xu Que gave me! Thank you so much! I love it!" Hou said, then hugged Brother Xu Que's neck again and gently kissed him.
