Speaking of the cold season, Ji Nuan's already dry little face instantly wrinkled into balls.

The cold season here is really terrible. The freezing wind rages throughout the entire season. Except for a few rare days when we can go out, we can only live in caves the rest of the time.

No one is chasing her disability yet, and Ji Nuan’s only consolation now is that there is still more than half a hot season left before the cold season, which is more than three months on Earth.

The Orc Continent has a year consisting of the rainy season, hot season and cold season. The rainy season is 2 months, the hot season is 6 months and the cold season is 4 months. She came during the hot season when the prey in the forest was plump and the fruits began to ripen.

In order to survive, this disabled female cub who has no beastmen to support her must hurry up and stockpile food!

The staple food of orcs is various kinds of meat. Females will eat some fruits, but in this world, the fruits that females eat are only a few very simple kinds. Vegetables and the like are all grass to orcs and cannot be eaten.

Ji Nuan walked out of the cave and picked up some broken branches from a few trees not far away. She then tied together some new and softer branches to make a simple "broom". She cleaned the three caves and went to the small river in the middle of the tribe to soak a piece of worn animal skin. She carefully wiped her two-meter-long bed and then spread all her belongings - several large animal skins - on the bed.

It was so tight. Looking at the exposed patches on the bed, Ji Nuan speechlessly gave up the fantasy of covering her two-meter-long bed with animal skins. Haha~ There weren’t enough animal skins…

She could only use one piece of the cloth under her body and leave the other piece as a quilt. After using quilts for more than 20 years, she would feel insecure if she suddenly had no quilt.

After putting the rations distributed by the tribe for the day into the big cave on the right, Ji Nuan sighed sadly. These were all her belongings: five animal skins, a piece of meat the size of a palm, and a few green fruits that were obviously not ripe.

The corners of her mouth twitched. It seemed that the urgent task now was to solve the problem of food and nutrition first. Although she was now a tigress still struggling on the line of food and nutrition, yes, her body was actually a female white tiger cub, but she was still human at heart!

She really couldn't eat this bloody raw meat!

Xin Hui had a barbecue at Wu's place today, otherwise she would have been so hungry that she would have become a limp tigress tomorrow.

The sky outside the cave had begun to darken. The beastmen who had returned from hunting gathered in the open space in the middle to process their prey. The females smiled as they took the animal skins shed by the males and hung them up in the public cave. They relied on these animal skins to keep warm during the cold winter.

The beasts here are huge in size, and their killing power increases exponentially. The beastmen go out hunting in teams of several people, and then return to the tribe to divide the prey equally. Although the prey is large, after removing the skins and inedible organs, each person does not get much. Many beastman families only eat half full and save some for tomorrow, because not every hunting day can catch prey.

Although there are some very powerful orcs who can kill a prey alone or in groups of a few, there are too few such warriors. As far as Ji Nuan knows, it seems that only Uncle Xiuli and the tribe leader’s family in the tribe can eat enough and have surplus food.

Uncle Xiuli has three orc cubs, two of whom have grown up in the past few years. Uncle Xiuli's females are the same as Ji Nuan's mother beast, both of which have only one male, which is rare in the tribe.
