Song Mu thought about it and decided: "Then we should be nicer to Xiao Qiu so that those feather tribe beastmen won't be in her eyes!"

"Hasn't Xiaoqiu always wanted to go out of the tribe? Let's take her out to play these few days. The two of us will follow together to ensure her safety."

Song Mu nodded vigorously.

Early the next morning, Ling Yun suggested while eating, "Xiao Qiu, let's go outside the tribe today. I think the weather is nice. Song Mu and I will go out with you."

"Really? Of course it's fine, but if we all leave, what will happen to the cubs? We can't take them out of the tribe with us, right?"

It’s okay to take the cubs to the mountain, but it’s still too dangerous to take them away from the tribe. One or two is okay, but five cubs are really hard to deal with.

"Just lock them up at home. It's okay. They're already big enough. Just let them sleep at home. We'll be back before lunch."

Even after Ling Yun said this, Lin Qiu was still nervous: "How about this, let's put the kid in the dormitory and let Pu Su and the others take a look at him."

"Alright."

After dinner, Ling Yun and Song Mu took the baby to the safe deposit box, and then the three of them walked towards the outside of the tribe.

The guard at the door saw them and was a little surprised: "Chief, are you going to take Lin Qiu out? Isn't it too dangerous?"

"It's okay. Xiaoqiu wants to go out for a walk. Nothing will happen if the two of us follow. Keep an eye on the tribe. Many people will come to our tribe to do business recently. If I'm not here, ask them to go find Teng Ning."

After Ling Yun explained everything to the security guard, he took Lin Qiu and Song Mu out.

"It should be safer here. The beast tide during the cold season should have scattered all the wild beasts."

Lin Qiu said.

Ling Yun explained, "It's not so bad near our tribe. Many wild animals have migrated here from other directions. But where the beast tide passes, there will be a year or two of famine, and no other wild animals will be found."

Song Mu added, "So it's still very dangerous here. Don't stray too far away from Ling Yun and me."

"Yeah." Lin Qiu nodded, indicating that he would never cause them any trouble.

"Are you tired? Or should I hold you?" Ling Yun asked.

Lin Qiu shook his head, but Song Mu had already transformed into a beast and rubbed against Lin Qiu twice: "Xiao Qiu, come up, let's walk slowly."

Lin Qiu couldn't refuse Song Mu's kindness, so he had to climb onto his back.

Song Mu raised his front paws happily, and took brisk steps with his thick tiger paws.

Ling Yun hated himself for being a step late, his teeth almost broken, and he started to chase after Lin Qiu.

"Xiao Qiu, what are you looking for? I'll help you find it."

"I want to find some edible millet. It should still look like grass now, but when it matures, it will produce ears of seeds. These seeds can be ground into a fine powder and mixed with water. It tastes good no matter how you eat it, and it will also make you full."

"What do you mean by ear by ear?"

"It grows a pole, and from the pole branches out several small branches, and seeds grow on them one by one."

"Just one by one, right?"

"In clumps, like your tail hair." Lin Qiu said.

"Then I understand. I'll help you find it."

"Have you ever seen anything like this in the woods before?"

"I seem to have seen it before, but I can't quite remember. Let's look for it together." Ling Yun didn't dare to say anything careless, for fear that if he said something wrong, it would make Lin Qiukong happy.

The three of them walked in the woods and could only hear the chirping of insects. Even the small animals did not dare to come near because of the smell of Ling Yun and Song Mu.

"Let me see that." Lin Qiu patted Song Mu under him and pointed to a familiar plant on the ground.

Song Mu stopped and Ling Yun squatted down, and saw that there were quite a few similar plants in this area.

Lin Qiu jumped down and squatted down to take a closer look.

Plants of the Poaceae family all look similar when they are young, and Lin Qiu is not very sure.

She dug up the soil around the plant, trying to find some traces of its past.

"Xiao Qiu, don't move. I'll take care of this. Do you want to dig them back?"

"No, I want to see if there are any rice ears nearby that fell last year but haven't rotted yet. I'm not sure if this is what I'm looking for."

"Okay, I'll help you dig. There are bugs in the soil, so be careful."

Ling Yun found a branch and fiddled with it: "Xiao Qiu, do you think this is it?"

Ling Yun picked out an ear of wheat from a pile of rotten hay.

Lin Qiu picked it up and looked at it, frowning.

"Isn't it?"

"I'm not sure either."

Lin Qiu thought this thing looked like wheat, but not quite. The ear was similar to wheat, even a little bigger, but without awns, and the husk was also shriveled, like some other grass weeds.

"Well, I'll keep it here and bring you over to see it when it's ripe."

Lin Qiu thought for a moment and said, "Why not transplant some of them back home? What if they don't grow well in the wild?"

"Okay, I'll dig some back."

"Well, let's just give it a try this year and not do too much."

"Let's keep going. This mountain is huge."

Ling Yun asked Song Mu to take Lin Qiu for a walk around the area first, and then he squatted down and scooped up all the food into the basket.

"Song Mu, let me see that!"

Lin Qiu saw a cluster of mulberry trees, which Song Mu also recognized.

"Let's dig this up and take it back! We'll plant it right in front of our house so it'll be easy to pick later. If we can't finish it, we can give it to other females in the tribe."

"Can this be transplanted?"

"Of course you can. If you have the ability, you can dig out the roots of an entire tree and even take the tree back to transplant it."

This mulberry tree is not big, so it shouldn't be difficult to dig it up.

Song Mu said lovingly, "Okay, I'll let Ling Yun dig it up for you later. Whatever you want, we'll dig it out and plant it in front of our house."

When Lin Qiu said this, she wanted this and that. In addition to the fruit trees, she also wanted to transplant some flowers and grasses back. There were many plants outside the tribe that could not be seen inside the tribe, and Lin Qiu found them quite novel.

"Look at this, it's so cute. It shouldn't be poisonous, right?"

Lin Qiu found two small plants with thick, round leaves in the cracks of the rocks. The leaves were stacked layer upon layer, like a small flower.

"This shouldn't be poisonous."

Ling Yun carefully pulled the round succulent plant out from the crack in the rock, and carefully placed it in the backpack: "This one doesn't look like it will survive."

Song Mu said, "It can even grow in cracks in rocks. If we take good care of it, we should be able to keep it alive."

"You're the only one who says that." Ling Yun glared at Song Mu unhappily. His backpack was already full. "Xiao Qiu, we've been out for quite a while. Let's go back today."

"Okay," Lin Qiu looked at the basket full of harvest and was very satisfied, "Let's go and take the cub home."
