That day, Song Sanniang got up early to prepare food. She was still yawning, but as soon as she walked out of the inner room, she was startled by the low temperature outside and woke up completely. She pulled out the stone from the window hole in the main room, looked out, and was surprised to find that the snow outside had begun to melt.
The snow has melted, that's why it's so cold.
Song Sanniang figured out the reason for the low temperature, stuffed the stone in her hand back into the window hole, turned around and went to the kitchen to light the fire and start preparing breakfast for the two adults.
Considering that Canitus's current food needs were a bit high, he cooked and fried two pots, put two bowls in them, covered the pots, and then brought the food into the house.
When Song Sanniang opened the door, Canitus woke up. He didn't know why he woke up because the noise in the room was a little louder.
But the only better thing than before is that he is probably used to the three cubs crawling all over his body, and it does not affect his sleep at all, and his body does not move at all.
As Song Sanniang entered the house carrying two pottery jars, she met Canitus's gaze. She then picked up the two pottery jars and spoke with a smile.
"Today's breakfast has been delivered."
Canitus got up from the bed, turned into a human form, and sat on a stool waiting to be fed.
Song Sanniang put his portion on the table and left her own portion untouched. She sat on the edge of the kang, watching the three cubs, pushing them back when they rolled to the side, and then patting their heads one by one.
When the three cubs were born, she focused all her attention on the fact that the second one was a female, and she forgot to ask who was the eldest and who was the second among the remaining two wolf cubs and tiger cub.
It was only after a while that she came to her senses and asked, only to find out that the eldest was a male tiger cub, and the third was the last wolf cub to come out, three furry cubs, two yellow and one black.
After Canitus finished eating the meat, he came over and saw his partner looking at the three cubs tenderly. Before that, who would have thought that he almost died in the forest with nothing.
In just one season, not only did his leg injury heal, he also found a partner and had cubs. His life was fulfilled at this time.
As soon as Canitus approached, Song Sanniang knew it and looked up at him.
He didn't say anything, but just leaned over and gently touched her cheek. Then, under Song Sanniang's direct gaze, his ears turned red and he lay on the kang with his back to her like a black wolf.
This is because the prototypes are all hairy, so she can't tell that he is shy.
Song Sanniang looked back and forth at the black wolf several times before she looked away, turned back to the table, quickly finished her portion of food, and then left the house with the jar.
After Song Sanniang left, Canitus straightened up silently and looked towards the door.
Song Sanniang left the house and went into the kitchen to clean the pottery jars and some utensils stained with lard. Then she went out of the house and brought back a red-eyed rabbit that had been frozen in the yard.
The last time she went out, she dug a red-eyed rabbit nest and caught a lot of rabbits. She ate them at intervals over several days and finally only this one was left.
As for the remaining half of the beard in the yard, she did not move it. It would take some time for the snow to melt and sink underneath, so it could be kept for a day or two, just in time to get new food the day after tomorrow.
She put the rabbit into the stone jar in the kitchen and covered it. Using the materials in the house, she tied a stone shovel with rattan. Song Sanniang went out and shoveled the half of the snow pile where the rabbit had been placed out of the gate, then returned to the house.
After her body warmed up, she went into the inner room, got on the kang, found a corner and curled up with her eyes closed to rest. She didn't really fall asleep, because it would be time for Canitus' second meal in a while, and she had to go to the kitchen to serve him food.
Two days passed in a flash, and all three cubs opened their eyes successfully. Song Sanniang and Canitus became more and more skilled in taking care of the cubs. However, except for the eldest cub, the other two were very well-behaved, which was also the main reason why the couple could take care of the cubs easily.
Song Sanniang and Canitus played with the three little kids who were a little restless when they woke up in the morning for a while. When they didn't want to move anymore, Song Sanniang got up and got off the kang.
There was still part of the half beard left, so she cut it thinner than other wild animal meat. She took out a stone slab that had not been used for a long time, cleaned it, and roasted the meat slices on it. She then stewed the rest with some dried wild vegetables into soup.
Looking at the dried vegetables floating and expanding in the pot, Song Sanniang began to think about her plans for the coming new year.
This snowy season, she had many things to worry about, so she was mainly focused on hunting for food. Next, she could explore the plants in the forest. Waiting for Serwin to lead the infrastructure system to slowly discover new food was too slow. Perhaps she could try to push her to speed up...
While thinking, Song Sanniang did not delay, turning the barbecue slices on the stone slab from time to time. After the broth in the pot boiled, she stirred it and waited for a while to dissipate the fishy smell, then she covered the pot and continued to simmer on low heat.
She took one out of the few remaining wild fruits. This was something Song Sanniang had discovered when she went out hunting before. At that time, she noticed a small animal lurking in that place. She took a glance but didn't stop. Later, when she was walking back with the prey and passed by that place again, she turned around and took a look.
Finding that the fruit tasted similar to the green motherwort, she bit off a branch and brought it back to the house. When she was about to grill meat, she cut it into pieces and spread it on the meat. It tasted good, and Canitus also liked it after trying it once.
There are only a few left now, and they have been stored for a long time. They are not bad but have become a lot wilted, but it does not affect the taste.
Canitus' eyes lit up as he ate the roasted chana slices. Just like she'd said before, he really liked the sweet and sour taste. But roasted chana was best served with cumin and chili powder...
However, she gave Canitus the "confinement period" almost the same way as humans, and the food was still much lighter. Although orcs did not seem to have as many dietary restrictions as humans during the breastfeeding period, and Canitus, as a male orc, also had very high physical fitness.
By this calculation, it seems that he is now able to leave the confinement period?
Song Sanniang shook her head and thought, forget it, we have been raising Canitus like this for more than ten days, let’s wait until a full month is over before we do anything about it.
"Tigo? I'm done eating, you should go eat too, before it gets cold."
Song Sanniang collected her wandering thoughts and said, "Okay, you come and look after them, I'll go eat." After saying that, she made way.
Canitus transformed into a beast, stretched his body, and completely surrounded the three cubs in a long strip.
By the stone table, before Song Sanniang had finished enjoying the food in the stone basin, she heard a few muffled groans coming from the stone slab blocking the door outside.
Is someone coming?
Song Sanniang finished the food in the bowl in a few bites, and when she came out of the inner room, she heard the sound of orcs knocking on the door outside.
It's Roll!
