Orcs, like humans, have to wait ten months before giving birth. Xiaoxue is now seven months pregnant. Her belly looks particularly big, probably because she is carrying multiple babies.
It is autumn now. The seasons in the beast world are extremely long, with each season lasting about six months. Now that we have entered autumn, it is the busiest time for the beastmen.
Everyone is busy storing food. After all, when it comes to the snow season, the heavy snow can really cover people, and they also have to worry about the arrival of a tide of beasts at all times.
Xiaoxue is also trying her best to do small things within her ability, such as picking wild vegetables near the tribe, blanching them in water, and drying them into dried vegetables.
Or when no one was around, she would secretly take out a hoe from the space and dig yams, sweet potatoes and potatoes near the tribe. You know what, these things looked a little mutated and she almost didn't recognize them.
But the fruit is really big! One is enough for her to eat.
When Yingliu's mother saw her, she hurried forward and took the basket from her back.
"Xiaoxue, what are you doing? Aren't we supposed to have a good rest? Don't worry about food, your parents are here."
"By the way, what are these? Are they edible?"
"Yes, this is yam. You can cook it with bones in soup or roast it. This is potato..."
After explaining it to her in detail, Yingliu's mother became more and more surprised the more she listened.
Xiaoxue simply made a fire and made her some snacks.
"It's delicious. I didn't expect you to be so amazing, Xiaoxue. You found new food for the tribe again."
"This isn't something I found. My parents taught me how to identify these foods."
I'm sorry to the original owner's parents, I can only put the blame on you. After all, I don't want to be a prominent outlier.
Yingliu's mother no longer collected wild fruits. Instead, she took the tribesmen to dig potatoes, yams and sweet potatoes every day to fill their stomachs.
Because it was Xiaoxue who told them, they would give her a basket every time.
Of course, Xiaoxue also taught them how to weave the baskets. It is very strong and durable, and much more useful than animal skin skirts.
The males also carried backpacks, so they no longer had to carry the prey they caught. They could carry more in the backpacks without much effort.
Xiaoxue's belly was getting bigger and bigger. Before she gave birth, she hurried to make clothes for the babies in her belly, otherwise it would be so cold when the snow season came and they had no clothes to wear.
After finishing the ones for the kids, I made two sets for Fu Yu, a cloak for myself, and sewed a few more quilts.
Fu Yu was good at hunting, so naturally he had accumulated a lot of animal skins, so it wouldn't be excessive to sew a few more thick quilts.
Everyone in the tribe is busy, no one is idle.
In a blink of an eye, Xiaoxue gave birth prematurely at eight months of pregnancy. However, it was understandable because it was a multiple baby and it was impossible to wait until full term.
Compared to Fu Yu's worries, Xiao Xue was obviously much calmer.
"Mom, Xiaoxue will be fine, right?"
Ying Liu was also worried, but she couldn't show it.
"It'll be fine. Xiaoxue is a blessed cub. The Beast God will bless her."
After comforting her son, Yingliu hurried in to help.
In fact, no one knows whether they can survive this stage safely. After all, childbirth is often the most difficult for females, and it is also the easiest time to end in two deaths.
Many females return to the embrace of the Beast God when giving birth, so when people choose a partner, they all want to find someone with a strong body.
The cave was crowded with people, and it wasn't until they heard a few loud babies crying that everyone smiled.
"It's born! It's born! Xiaoxue gave birth to the cub safely!"
Fu Yu happily rushed into the cave, holding her partner's hand, with tears in her eyes.
"Xue'er, I'm back. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have gone hunting this morning. I should have stayed with you. I'm so sorry...!"
"Don't blame yourself. This isn't your fault. After all, no one knew the cubs would come out today, right?"
Xiaoxue had a gentle smile on her face.
"Look at the cubs. They're a little small, but they're all healthy."
Fu Yu looked at the six little cubs lying on the bed beside her, and her eyes became moist again.
He has a baby! He's a father!
I don’t know how many people have never had their own cubs in their entire life, but he was so lucky that he had six cubs at once.
"Xiaoxue, let's not have any more children in the future, okay? Just having them is enough for us."
He was truly terrified! He was afraid that he would never see Xiaoxue again, the one who had cried and acted coquettishly with him! He was afraid that he would see Xiaoxue return to the Beast God's embrace.
"Host, your male is worried that you will die during childbirth, leaving him alone in this world. You should know that the mortality rate during childbirth in this animal world is very high, which is why everyone wants to find a strong female."
Yes! I understand. In this world of poor medical care, childbirth is truly a near-death experience.
"Hehehe...! But you, the host, are different. You have this system as your external hexagram. You can have as many babies as you want, and there will be absolutely no danger to your life during childbirth."
Haha! Do you think you’re a pig? She doesn’t want to have more children; six is enough.
Three sons and three daughters, she has a son and a daughter in her life. Why did she have so many children? There is no throne to inherit.
The clan leader and his wife are immersed in the joy of being grandparents every day. They work with full energy and don't feel tired at all.
Even the brothers Xunzhu and Chongming were smiling happily.
Whenever I have time, I go to see my nephews and nieces.
Xunzhu picked up one of the cubs, his face full of desire.
"Little brother, you see, Big Brother still doesn't have a partner. Maybe that's how it will be in this life. Why don't you give Big Brother a cub? Big Brother promises to raise him fat and white."
Chongming was entertaining the children on the side.
"Give one to the second brother as well. No, the second brother wants two, one male and one female."
The final result was that they were beaten out by Fu Yu.
Really, what kind of beautiful dreams are you having day after day?
Xiaoxue was listening to the quarreling of the three brothers in the inner room. The three brothers seemed to have a good relationship!
Speaking of these two uncles, they are good-looking and strong, how could they not find a partner? There are many people who like them.
However, they are unwilling to share their partner with others and only want to find a partner that belongs to them alone.
Time always flies quickly. Xiaoxue has finished her confinement and there are still four months left before the snow season arrives.
Recently, Xunzhu and Chongming are preparing to lead a team to the exchange market. Xiaoxue also wants to go, but after thinking about it, she decided not to go because the cubs can't do without her.
Seeing her disappointment, Fu Yu quickly called her two brothers over.
"Xue'er, if you want to exchange something, just tell Big Brother and the others, and they will definitely help you exchange it back."
"Big brother, second brother, don't you agree?"
The two brothers quickly expressed their opinions.
"Of course, sister-in-law, tell me what you want. As long as it's available at the market, I'll buy it for you."
Xiaoxue was not pretentious and told him everything she wanted to change.
In fact, she just wanted some salt. She didn't know why there was no salt in the space. There were so many gold, silver, treasures, and so much food. There was everything except salt.
System, it’s because there was no shortage of salt in the worlds before the missions, so you forgot to store salt.
