When Shi Hu and Dongfang Long returned, Yueyue had her head down. Shi Hu asked, "What's wrong?"
“Father…” Yueyue began, “I helped Uncle deliver my little brother, but… that child…”
“Father… Xingxing and I can’t transform into beasts, so will we be able to…” Upon hearing this, Shi Hu immediately reached out and hugged the child in front of him.
"No, no..." Shi Hu immediately hugged the people and said, "No, believe your father, you are your father's children, nothing will happen."
Upon hearing this, Yueyue nodded and hugged her father, saying, "I will definitely be able to transform into a beast, and then when I grow up, I will take care of you, Father." Hearing this, Shi Hu couldn't help but smile and nod.
Shi Hu went to see Shi Shui, and when he went to see the child, he said, "This child is much bigger than my two sons." Hearing this, Shi Shui was slightly taken aback. "Don't worry too much, raise him... he can transform into a beast."
"Hmm." Shi Shui nodded, looking at his child, "Brother... this is for Haitang, thanks to Haitang yesterday."
"No need, give it to the child for now." Shi Hu didn't take it, but simply looked at the child and left.
When Haitang woke up, she saw Shi Hu and Dongfang Long had returned. Dongfang Long sat next to Haitang and said, "You're upset about other people's business?"
"It's not that I'm upset about other people's affairs," Haitang said, shaking her head. It's just that she feels somewhat saddened by this matter in many ways.
"Little Dragon... is there really a big difference between human races and beastmen?" Haitang asked Dongfang Long, who looked down at her.
"There's a huge difference. If they become beastmen, even a dozen or so humans wouldn't be a match for one beastman. Haitang... that's the truth." If she could transform into a beastman, she would never have become a slave.
If she could transform into a beast, those people wouldn't be able to catch her at all. If they were both human, she could win, but the beastmen couldn't. Hearing this, Haitang looked at Dongfang Long and reached out to hug him.
“It’s alright. Even if we’re not beastmen right now, we can still protect ourselves,” Haitang said. Dongfang Long nodded as he looked at Haitang.
"Yes, we can do it." This winter is very long, and Haitang has a lot to prepare for after winter. During the winter, Haitang thought about the problems.
Meanwhile, Dongfang Long brought back bamboo for Haitang. Haitang discovered that her knife wouldn't dull, and every day when she woke up, it would be brand new. Under these circumstances, Haitang immediately started sitting in the bamboo basket.
There was something wrong with the bamboo, so Haitang's hand was bleeding. Dongfang Long didn't go out with Shi Hu because of the heavy snow outside, but seeing Haitang's injury, he took over the task.
When Haitang looked at them, she was a little surprised. "Really amazing," Haitang said. Shi Hu frowned as he looked at Haitang and Dongfang Long, but he didn't say anything.
However, Haitang felt that Dongfang Long's gaze towards Haitang was strange. Looking at the bamboo basket that Dongfang Long had made, Haitang looked at it with some surprise, "Yes, that's it, it's absolutely right." Haitang had to admit that Dongfang Long was truly a genius.
“We orcs have excellent memories, and once we find the pattern, there won’t be many problems,” he said, looking at Haitang.
Upon hearing this, Haitang looked at Dongfang Long and said with a smile, "That's amazing! When spring comes, we can use baskets to catch fish."
Winter was tough, but not too tough. At least by the end of winter, none of the Haitang family had lost too much weight.
Some people froze to death that year, but they were all children. Haitang's feelings about people leaving their children outside became a little complicated.
Winter passed quickly; March didn't last six months. Under these circumstances, Haitang breathed a sigh of relief, as it didn't snow in the following days, although it was still cold.
However, compared to the icy and snowy weather at the beginning, it's really fortunate that things are so good now. Under these circumstances, Haitang has started carrying a basket and taking Yueyue out.
Yueyue has grown a lot taller this year. She can carry a basket without being crushed and being invisible. When Haitang took Yueyue out, they started looking for food, as winter was not completely over yet.
So, since some animals were still hibernating, and Haitang knew the rabbits' habits well, she started looking for rabbit burrows.
Of all the animals in the house, only one chicken wasn't eaten; the others were. The eggs were laid one a day without fail, and it was because of this that the children were able to get enough nutrition.
Crabapple blossoms began to appear in the mountains, and all things began to revive. Although they had not yet fully sprouted, they already had green leaves.
When Haitang saw the woman not far away, she ran over to her. "Xiao Qiu...you..." Haitang was slightly stunned when she saw Xiao Qiu, but then she was grabbed by someone else.
“Xiao Qiu lost a child, don’t disturb her, she’s here to pay her respects.” Haitang stood still, and the female beside her looked at Haitang. “But your family is really lucky, no one has ever frozen to death.”
Hearing this, Haitang looked at Guo'er beside her. Guo'er looked surprised. She thought that Xiaohe from Haitang's family would definitely freeze to death.
When Haitang heard this, she immediately said, "There's nothing we can do, we're all crammed together, so it's actually a bit better." Haitang's expression turned complicated; they were also freezing cold.
However, because I wove those mats out of grass to block the room, otherwise people might really have frozen to death in this weather.
However, thinking of Xiao Qiu's child, she didn't say much. Instead, she said goodbye to the group and took Yueyue to find something to eat, including chili peppers.
Now that the saplings have sprouted, Haitang immediately started digging them up. "Sister, what are you going to do with these?"
"We should dig up these chilies and plant them, so they won't all be harvested," Haitang said. She figured they should at least harvest the seeds, since she still had tomato seeds.
To be honest, even the best spicy chicken is hard to come by these days. Once the chicken is fried, there's hardly any meat left. In winter, we can't bear to waste it, so we just have to put it off.
Haitang and Yueyue went to get some food and brought it back. After they got back, Haitang started thinking about firing the kiln.
I've been figuring out how to fire the kiln all winter, but I still need to find a solution, which is to get manpower.
Haitang is quite satisfied with her current place, but the problem is that the rooms are not good. Haitang plans to find someone to build a house, but no one will build a house for free; it all costs money.
So she worked hard to earn money. If possible, she thought she could find villagers to help her build a house. Her friends were useful. As the saying goes, those who can't become beasts often use their brains.
