Without letting Canitus wait too long, Song Sanniang went straight to the inner room with two pottery jars in her iron hands.
Canitus' ears twitched and he suddenly raised his head. Soon, several muffled sounds were heard outside the house. He hurriedly got up, opened the door, and took the two jars from Song Sanniang's hands.
"Well, why didn't you call me?"
Song Sanniang shook her head. "It's warm in here. You might as well eat inside. You don't have to go out specially."
After finishing her meal quickly, Song Sanniang dodged Canitus's hand that was about to help her. "It's okay, you can rest first. I can do the cleaning quickly. You just ate, so take a rest for a while."
After watching Song Sanniang go out, Canitus thought about what she had said before about how it was good for the body to exercise regularly while pregnant, so he walked back and forth in the room.
Song Sanniang said it was very quick, and before he had even walked a few laps, she had packed up and gone into the house.
As soon as Song Sanniang entered the room, she saw him strolling with his belly bulging, and her little movements were particularly cute. She immediately transformed into a tiger and carried him to the bed.
The fire had just been lit, and Song Sanniang could feel the warmth of the kang through the animal skin. Combined with the body temperature coming from Canitus beside her, Song Sanniang made a fuss with him for a while at first, and then slowly fell asleep in the warm quilt.
This time, Canitus did not bother her. He just moved closer to her silently and closed his eyes to rest. But after a while, he began to breathe evenly.
Thanks to the hard work of Song Sanniang and Canitus, their house was filled with winter supplies, including pickled foods of all kinds, even fish, dried wild vegetables, and green wild fruits that could be preserved for a while.
In order to make the long snow season less boring, Song Sanniang even prepared a lot of hay and vines to weave mats for staying in the house.
As for the fertility fruit that might be useful for Canitus to give birth to children in the future, it was also the fruit prepared by the male orcs for their females during the previous harvest season.
This fruit is said to be a gift from the Beast God. In order to help the beastmen on Noah's continent reproduce better and to protect the females, the pregnant mother fruit matures deep in the forest during the harvest season. As long as the pregnant female beastmen eat it, they can give birth to cubs smoothly in the next year without any danger to their lives.
However, the pregnant mother fruit is difficult to find. It only grows once a year on each tree, and they do not grow together. Instead, they are scattered everywhere. They will die during the snow season and will be in a different location next year.
That would be fine, but some wild animals in the forest will guard the pregnant mother fruit until it is ripe, and use it to please female wild animals.
Generally speaking, this thing is difficult to get. Song Sanniang used to think that she had the system mall in her hands and would not need this thing. Then the next day, Song Sanniang sneaked into the woods. When she came out, she had a bright red pregnant mother fruit in her hand. The beasts guarding the tree became her food reserves.
After she brought it back, she gave it to Canitus to eat. There was no visible difference in appearance, but Song Sanniang's soul could sense that a force had entered his body and finally stopped in his abdomen.
When the force first entered, she didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that the force froze for a moment, slowly circled around Canitus' body, with a bit of curiosity, and then stopped at the abdomen.

Having everything they needed, Song Sanniang and Canitus spent several days in decadence, doing little more than eating and sleeping. When they woke up and were hungry, they would cook, and when they were sleepy, they would continue to sleep, repeating this cycle over and over again.
In the end, Canitus pinched his fat thigh and said sadly that they could not continue to degenerate like this and they must return to their normal living habits.
Song Sanniang nodded decisively. She had no objection and continued to comb Canitus's hair. If there were any loose hairs, she would carefully put them aside.
Canitus felt a little surprised when he saw that Song Sanniang did not object, but he was also relieved. If she disagreed with what he just said... he would probably give in in the next second.
Because Song Sanniang and Canitus were well prepared, the snow season was a rare time for them to rest and cultivate their relationship. However, for some orc families who were not well prepared or had no hunting ability, this snow season was destined to be difficult.
On the seventeenth day of the snow season, some orcs were facing a desperate situation.
When Song Sanniang heard this from the beastman who came to knock on the door, she couldn't believe it. It wasn't even one-fifth of the snow season yet and someone was almost starving to death without food?
The person who delivered the message outside the door was Song Sanniang's acquaintance, Taige, one of Serwin's suitors.
When Taige talked about this situation, he also looked embarrassed and a little dissatisfied.
To be honest, there is plenty of time during the harvest season. If you prepare carefully or actively participate in the hunting team's mission, you will not find that the stored food is eaten up as soon as the snow season begins.
While Song Sanniang was thinking, Canitus came out wrapped tightly and stood beside Song Sanniang. He spoke in a deep voice and learned in detail about the situation of the orcs who were short of food and were about to run out of food.
The vast majority of them are a combination of the old, weak, sick and young cubs. They have no stable source of food, and the food is not much, not enough for them to save and live frugally until the end of the snow season.
But these orcs don't have to worry. After they finish their food, the chief will give them the portion that the hunting team had shared before.
What made Taige dissatisfied was those who were delicious but difficult to make, and they were hoping for a lucky break, thinking that even if they didn't prepare enough food, the patriarch would definitely not watch them starve to death.
The chief really couldn't bear to watch them starve to death, so he was organizing the male orcs who had run out of food at home to form a temporary hunting team to find some food.
Taige just came to ask if they needed to let the male in the family join, and Song Sanniang directly shook her head and refused.
"We don't need it for now."
"Okay, I'll continue asking the next household. You guys can go back."
Watching Taige continue to knock on the next door in the snow, Song Sanniang closed the yard door and pulled Canitus into the house.
The big house, which was originally cold, seemed much warmer compared to the outside. Then, when the door was closed, it became warm immediately without the cold wind.
Song Sanniang gave Canitus a lecture and told him that it was snowing outside and he should just stay at home and wait for her, as she would be back soon.
He is now two people, so he can never be too careful.
Canitus accepted it humbly.
Song Sanniang originally thought that this matter had nothing to do with them, but a few days later, the clan leader actually came to them in person.
