Finally, their chief spoke up, "No, we're carrying things with us, so it's not easy to transform into human form. If we stay in animal form, we'll consume a lot of food. We still have to go outside to find food."
Their tribe of several hundred people can't just stay in other people's tribes and get free food and drinks.
The things each tribe prepares before winter are carefully calculated. If such a large group of people suddenly join in, it will disrupt the rhythm of others' wintering.
"Okay, but you can rest here for a few more days." Xuan had just finished speaking when he saw the Hamster Tribe leader about to refuse. He then added, "It's only a few days. It's no big deal. Winter is almost over anyway."
The words of refusal stuck in the hamster tribe leader's throat. He coughed twice, then smiled helplessly and said, "Then I'll trouble you."
It is easier to arrange a place for them to live, after all, all their belongings are in their cheek pouches and they can settle down anywhere.
Xuan and Meng Yuqing took them to a place with dense trees according to their request.
After arriving at the place, Meng Yuqing saw that all the hamster orcs had satisfied expressions on their faces.
Then they sit down, lift their front paws and begin pushing their cheek pouches from back to front.
Many animal skins were pushed out from their cheek pouches. The rat orcs without cheek pouches quickly transformed into human form, picked up the animal skins and spread them out.
Vines were strung from the four corners of the animal skin, and the skin was hung on the tree, and small spaces were soon enclosed.
Then select animal skins of appropriate size, spread them out to cover the top, and secure them with vines.
A simple room surrounded by animal skins was built in this way, which can also be said to be an extra-large tent.
Meng Yuqing looked at all this in amazement. This was the wisdom of the people in this world.
When they were building their own home, Meng Yuqing got off Xuan's back. Seeing this, Xuan immediately changed into human form and followed him.
Although it is the end of winter, the snow on the ground is still very thick, especially in this area where not many people come, so the snow is not cleared much.
He still remembered that last year, whenever Meng Yuqing stepped onto the snow, he would slowly sink into it and could not move forward.
Noticing Xuan's nervousness, Meng Yuqing turned around and smiled, "I'm no longer the same person I was last year. Look, I'm walking pretty well, aren't I?"
He lifted his legs from the snow with all his strength and stepped forward.
Some of the funny actions seemed particularly cute in Xuan's eyes.
Just as Xuan followed behind him, watching him not to sink into the snow, the two hamster tribe leaders, whose backs were turned, looked at Xuan's human form with surprised expressions.
His gaze was not malicious nor intense, as if he had just glanced casually. He then immediately lowered his head without attracting Xuan's extra attention.
He raised his paw and touched his right cheek pouch, his eyes filled with many complex emotions.
Guilt, nostalgia, sadness.
He lost something very important.
