The summer passed quickly, and the crops that Ji Yu led his people to sow grew well.
Before the arrival of autumn, Ji Yu also received salt sent by the mermaid tribe.
Although Wei Lan did not come in person, she sent a female mermaid from the same tribe and also brought half of their salt production this time.
Looking at the salt that weighed probably about forty or fifty kilograms, Ji Yu was very happy, and he also ordered people to give a lot of dried meat to the mermaids.
The mermaids love meat, so they didn’t refuse and took it directly.
What's more, when the mermaids smelled the smoked meat that Ji Yu took out, they felt the fragrance was so strong that they really couldn't find any reason to refuse.
After the arrival of autumn, Ji Yu only went out hunting occasionally. Most of the time he was pickling meat and teaching the tribesmen how to pickle meat.
After all, pickled meat not only lasts longer, but also tastes better.
Occasionally, Ji Yu would take the little fox to the forest to look for food. During the hottest days of summer, Ji Yu successfully found mushrooms and grapes in the forest.
And some spinach, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots and the like.
Ji Yu tried to transplant these wild vegetables into the tribe, but after the transplantation, more than half of them died inexplicably.
Ji Yu suddenly felt that even though he had the farming mindset of a modern person, he seemed to have no talent for growing vegetables.
Fortunately, with the advent of salt, the tribe had more and more meat stored.
The old men and the kids also liked the roasted potatoes and sweet potatoes, so the tribe still had plenty of food.
When the first snow fell in the forest, the tribes also welcomed the festive atmosphere.
Ji Yu has been in this world for several months and has gained a certain understanding of the customs of this world.
In this era, there is no festival like Spring Festival or New Year's Eve. The only festival is the Cold Air Festival.
The so-called Cold Festival refers to the day when the first snow falls in winter every year and the two days that follow.
Each tribe has its own way of celebrating. The wolf tribe's way of celebrating is also unique. They don't hunt for three days, and all the tribe members gather together to eat.
A bonfire was lit in the tribe, and a group of werewolves formed a circle.
The orcs in the tribe have become accustomed to using fire in their daily lives, for cooking and heating.
Therefore, no orcs were afraid of fire anymore and would kneel down at any time.
The little fox nestled in Ji Yu's arms, looking listless, and it seemed that the little fox had no interest in eating today.
"What's wrong with the little fox? You don't look very happy today?" Ji Yu stroked the little fox's fur, his tone extremely gentle.
Perhaps Ji Yu himself did not realize it, but almost everyone else in the tribe could see how much the Wolf King valued this pet.
Therefore, almost all the wolves in the tribe respect the foxes.
Hearing Ji Yu's comfort, the little fox's voice was tinged with a hint of grievance: "Every year during the Cold Festival, my mother would make clothes for me, hoping that I would transform as soon as possible. I don't know if my mother will make new clothes for me this year."
Ji Yu quickly noticed the homesickness in the little fox's tone, and quickly said, "How about I send you back to stay for a few days, and then I'll come back to pick you up."
The little fox's eyes lit up when he heard it, and his tone was tinged with an unnoticeable joy: "Is it okay? Lord Wolf King."
"Then after dinner, I will take you back to rest early, and I will personally send you back tomorrow."
Hearing Ji Yu's words, the little fox was extremely happy and kept waving its claws in the air.
"I love Lord Wolf the most."
"You!" Ji Yu poked the fox's eyebrows with his slender fingertips, and his tone was full of doting: "You only know how to say nice things to make me happy."
"I really like Brother Wolf King the most." The little fox's eyes were blinking, and it was obvious from his expression that he wanted to ask for something.
Ji Yu immediately saw through the little fox's thoughts and asked directly, "What do you want?"
"I want to bring some sweet potatoes back for my mother, and some dried meat. The food in the fox den is not as good as that in Lord Wolf King's place."
Hearing the little fox's request, Ji Yu's eyes were filled with news.
"You silly fox, I will prepare these for you. I'm also afraid that you will get hungry and thin after living there for a few days!"
The little fox licked Ji Yu's palm as if to please him.
Ji Yu felt a damp heat coming from the palm of his hand and couldn't help but pull his hand back.
The fox has taught her so many times, but she just won't listen and doesn't mind the dirt at all.
After the little fox was full, it curled up on Ji Yu's legs and fell asleep.
As if knowing that it would be able to return to its den tomorrow, the little fox slept particularly soundly tonight.
Ji Yu gently placed the little fox on the bed in the cave, and then ran to the next cave to pack some delicious food for the little fox.
Ji Yu was really worried about the little fox, but the little fox was sleeping soundly as if nothing had happened.
The next morning, Ji Yu got up early to wake up the little fox.
The little fox was sleepy, and his voice was a little hoarse because he had just woken up: "Master Wolf King, today is the Cold Weather Festival. The fox needs to rest, the fox needs to sleep in, don't bother the fox."
Seeing the cute little fox, Ji Yu didn't have the heart to wake her up, so he just sat beside the bed and waited for the fox to wake up.
The fox slept until noon before waking up slowly. As soon as he opened his eyes, he met Ji Yu's eyes.
The little fox had a dull look on his face, but he said in a coquettish tone: "Master Wolf King, why are you staring at me?"
Ji Yu grabbed the fox's paw and prepared to pull her out of bed.
"Master Wolf, you are so proactive! The fox loves it."
"The way Lord Wolf looked at the fox just now must have made the fox completely obsessed."
"Lord Wolf is touching the fox's paw. Is he trying to hold hands with the fox? It's a pity that the fox hasn't transformed yet."
"The fox wants to transform as soon as possible so that he can hold hands with the wolf king, kiss him, and mate with him to have cubs."
"Awooooooooooooo… The fox gets excited just thinking about it."
Even though Ji Yu had heard these dirty words many times, he still felt embarrassed.
Ji Yu grabbed the little fox's paw and gently pulled it up.
The next second, the little fox flew into the air and landed steadily on Ji Yu's back.
Seeing the little fox's shocked expression, Ji Yu picked up the food he had prepared in advance and took the fox out of the tribe.
Because it was the second day of the Cold Festival, almost no one in the tribe got up early except the children.
The young and strong wolves are making adequate preparations for their birth plans in the early spring of next year.
It was not until Ji Yu got closer and closer to the fox tribe that the fox remembered that he had to go home.
"Lord Wolf, I'm going home." The little fox shouted in surprise.
“Awooo…”
