Haitang's cart is back, so we need to pull it. The weather is very cold, and although it hasn't snowed, the females still have to wear thick clothes to go out and walk on the ground.
Because this winter lasts for half a year, that is, six months, such a long winter, of course we can't miss the opportunity to go out.
When you go out, you have to work hard to pick some food to bring back. However, there are fewer things to step on in winter, so Haitang's family simply dragged a cart out the door.
Xiaohe didn't come out; Xiaohe is too weak, so it's best for her to stay at home. Yueyue and Xingxing have both come out, and Xiaolu is almost there too.
Haitang was dressed very warmly, wearing fur clothes. So, Haitang followed along, and halfway through the journey, the deer pulled the cart so that Haitang could get on.
Haitang looked at Xiaolu and said, "Don't worry, girl, you're very small and thin, it'll be fine." Not only Haitang went up, but Xingxing and Yueyue also went up.
"Is it heavy?" Haitang asked. Xiaolu shook her head. It wasn't heavy at all. The cart was less heavy than the weight of a basket she was carrying.
After arriving at a certain place, Haitang and the others parked the car and went into the mountains. There were few things in the mountains now, so Haitang planned to see where there were good things to collect that were hibernating.
Food was scarce, and the plants were withered, making it difficult to find anything delicious. However, the crabapple tree also discovered an advantage: it could see the entire plant more clearly.
Moreover, medicinal herbs are much easier to find. There are some herbs that can be seen on the ground right now, both good and bad. Little Deer and the others have been digging up rabbit burrows and other such things.
Of course, it's not just the fawns; the other females are the same. In previous years, after it snowed at this time, the females would not choose to come out because the weather outside was deadly cold.
The problem is that this year, taking advantage of the free time and the weather being relatively mild, I've tried to make more food, though of course, there's been a lot less of it.
On this day, Haitang was looking for Huaishan. After walking a long way, she would be pulled around the road. The road was always trodden by females, beastmen, or people dragging heavy objects.
Although there was still some injustice, it was still possible to use the cart. Haitang planned to go a bit further today. There were quite a few things in the cart, and the people around her were all stunned when they saw it.
"Haitang, where did you get this? It's really useful." The car wasn't very big, but it could hold quite a lot of things. Ten baskets could fit, and there was even room for some extras on top. It was quite nice.
When Haitang heard this, she smiled and said, "This is called a handcart. It's very easy to pull. It was made by Qiaoyu. The people there are..." Haitang began, and the others nodded in agreement.
I was a little tempted, but finding something to eat was more important right now. The weather was chilly, and Haitang was wearing a scarf and gloves, which kept her much warmer. She was also wearing soft fur shoes.
The other females were all bruised and battered from the cold, but they gritted their teeth and went looking for food. Of course, there were also people with little beastmen. The little beastmen were warm, and Haitang would sometimes hold Yueyue's hand and use it as a little heater.
Haitang went quite far today. Few people come here on weekdays; it's a place the orcs have only started hunting in recent years, and the hunting distances are getting farther and farther, which is what the village is worried about.
If you go any further out, you'll reach the outer perimeter, where ferocious beasts roam. The orcs even say that any female will never come out alive.
When Haitang looked around, she started digging for things. She put all the yams she could eat into baskets, planning to eat them when she got back. She also cut a lot of grass when she saw it.
The family's horse needed food, and the pigs and livestock also needed food. The sweet potato leaves and crabapple leaves were not thrown away, but were given to the pigs to live on. Crabapple and deer pulled the cart, and several people pushed it from behind.
Haitang felt that the speed had increased a lot. Yueyue asked Haitang to sit down, saying, "Sister, if you keep going like this, you won't be able to get back before dark. You should get on..." Hearing this, Haitang felt a little embarrassed.
As an adult, she felt somewhat of a burden to the child. The six or seven-year-old was quite tall, standing at 1.3 or 1.4 meters. Tiger-type beastmen are generally tall, and Haitang paid close attention to her nutrition, so although she was a bit on the taller side, she didn't give off a bamboo-like impression; on the contrary, she appeared very strong.
Under these circumstances, Haitang nodded and got into the car. The car drove fast, and when Haitang looked at it, she immediately covered her face. Xiaolu was practically running, and the two little children behind her kept up.
Haitang realized she definitely couldn't keep up, but seeing how easily the little deer was doing, she felt resentful again. No wonder females couldn't survive without beastmen; beastmen could still survive without females.
When Haitang returned, she almost became depressed. Dongfang Long carried the wild boar back and saw Haitang's distraught appearance. After asking her what was wrong, he said, "I just felt useless. Xingxing and Yueyue were always running after me. Only then did I realize that I had been a burden to others in the past."
“No, not at all.” Upon hearing this, Dongfang Long said, “Tangtang, how could you think like that? Females are naturally thin and weak, and they are not as strong as the little beastmen. This is normal.”
"It's normal, but it feels a little strange." Haitang sighed helplessly, feeling a bit odd, as if she had been a burden to others from beginning to end.
"Tangtang...you need to think this through. There are many things you've told us. We may have more strength, but Tangtang knows how to use her brain. Tangtang, look, I've made you some honey." Dongfang Long said, looking at Haitang.
Haitang was slightly taken aback and looked at the honey. "Aren't you afraid of getting your head pierced like a pig's head again?" Dongfang Long shook his head and smiled, indicating that he wasn't afraid.
"Don't worry, I wasn't pricked at all this time. I jumped into the water as soon as I was hit," Dongfang Long said. Haitang sighed helplessly; there was quite a bit of honey.
