Ling Yun glanced at the tiger cubs in the den, which were only as big as his palm. "Why squeeze in? When they grow up, they can go out and build their own houses. Can they live with us forever? If there is not enough space, they can sleep in a cave."
Ling Yun thought that he could only support these kids for fifteen years at most.
Lin Qiu shrugged. It was true that the males of the tiger tribe would be driven out of the house if they had the ability to hunt. She also didn't want her son to become a giant baby who depended on his parents.
Then he said, "Then you and Song Mu can handle it. I don't know much about educating males."
"Well, Song Mu and I will arrange it. It's a little bigger than our room, so we don't need to build shelves or anything. We can just lay out the kang so they have a place to sleep."
"Okay, that's it. But you can make them a table for the kang so they can study on it."
The space in front of the kang in their current room is almost the same size as the kang. If the whole room is turned into a kang, it will be no problem to squeeze five big tigers in. Then the five brothers can sleep together and just take care of themselves.
Ling Yun scratched his head and said, "Study? Forget it. I don't want to teach those kids anymore."
"Haha, just teach him slowly. Not everyone is as smart as you and Song Mu, but I think our kid must be different from other kids."
Lin Qiu blinked.
"That's true." Ling Yun was immediately flattered.
He brought the five cubs into the cave to feed them, then coaxed them to sleep. After the meal, he went straight to the kang.
Song Mu finished cooking the broth, and Lin Qiu was a little tired of it. "Now the grass and trees outside are sprouting. Take me to see what's growing. Maybe we can find something else to eat."
"I'll go to the mountains this afternoon to see if there are any wild vegetables that have just sprouted."
"The wild vegetables nowadays are too small, it's a waste to dig them out."
"So what are you doing up there?"
"If there are any useful seedlings, we can dig them up with the roots and soil, water them and fertilize them. It's better than letting them grow in the mountains, right?"
"Is this okay?"
"This is called transplanting." Lin Qiu wanted to see if there were any other crops or something like that. Basically, they could grow three or four leaves now. Lin Qiu has been farming all her life, so if there were any food or edible crops, she could recognize them.
Lin Qiu is just missing it now. Not to mention steamed buns and rice, even if she were to eat a bite of sweet potato or a bite of corn cob, she would be so happy.
"Then I'll go to the mountain with you this afternoon."
Just as Song Mu finished speaking, Ling Yun came in, lifting the curtain: "Which mountain are we going to this afternoon? Xiaoqiu, didn't you promise me that after dinner..."
"I didn't say that."
"Xiao Qiu!" Ling Yun was unyielding. He put the cubs aside and pretended to wipe away his tears. "How could you bear to let my hopes be dashed? If Song Mu wants to go to the mountains, let him go by himself. You stay home with me."
Song Mu hurriedly said, "If Xiao Qiu isn't going, I won't go either."
"Xiao Qiu." Ling Yun blinked his watery blue eyes.
Lin Qiu's face flushed: "Okay, okay, you guys should eat quickly, you've been busy for most of the day."
"Xiao Qiu cares about me. Xiao Qiu is the best."
Ling Yunfeng climbed onto the kang and sat cross-legged beside Lin Qiu.
Song Mu said, "I was just discussing wild vegetables with Xiao Qiu. Xiao Qiu said that we could dig up the newly grown wild vegetable seedlings with their roots and soil, and water and fertilize them so that they would grow better."
Ling Yun swallowed a mouthful of meat and said, "Then you can go by yourself. Didn't Xiaoqiu teach you how to weave two backpacks out of bamboo during the winter season? Just take them with you."
Song Mu nodded.
Lin Qiu added: "Some wild vegetables have roots that allow them to continuously sprout, while others can flower and produce seeds. In short, if we move them into our vegetable garden, they can gradually transform from wild vegetables into vegetables that we can grow as much as we want."
"Okay, I'll dig some back first. If they can be planted, I'll let other people in the tribe go dig together." Song Mu said.
"Okay, eat quickly." Ling Yun urged.
Lin Qiu glared at him. This tiger was too impatient.
Song Mu said faintly, "Xiao Qiu, ignore him. Just eat slowly."
"Xiao Qiu, I'm not talking about you!" Ling Yun knew that Song Mu was not a good guy and he actually tried to sow discord.
"Oh..." Lin Qiu was tired. These past few days, Ling Yun had been going out early and coming back late, so the house was quiet. Now it was "lively" again.
After dinner, Ling Yun pulled the animal skin curtain, with an uncontrollable smile on his face. When Song Mu went to clean up the dishes, he made the kang and then lay in the middle of the kang in an extremely charming posture, with one leg curled up, revealing beautiful muscle lines.
He supported his head with his right arm and patted the space in front of him with his left hand, motioning Lin Qiu to lie down over there.
Lin Qiu pursed her lips, then suddenly smiled and rushed towards Ling Yun: "Whose male is this and why did he fall on my kang? Let me kiss him and see what he tastes like!"
Ling Yun couldn't help but be amused by Lin Qiu. He curled his lips and raised his face to let her kiss him: "If you like, I will be your male from now on."
"Then I have to inspect the goods first. I don't want anything that's too bad."
Ling Yun turned over and pressed Lin Qiu under him, his mouth almost grinning from ear to ear. He really liked Lin Qiu's sudden interest: "Xiao Qiu, I'm great, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Lin Qiu touched the muscles on Ling Yun's arm and couldn't help but take a light bite. It was very elastic and it was a good arm.
"Xiao Qiu, why don't you wait for me?" After cleaning up the kitchen, Song Mu appeared in front of the kang with his eyes downcast.
"No, come up quickly." Lin Qiu stretched out a hand to invite him, but was stopped by Ling Yun and held tightly.
Ling Yun said to Song Mu, "Take the kids to sleep in that room. I'm afraid they'll be crushed."
"Why don't you go?"
"If you keep dawdling, no one will be able to eat Xiao Qiu."
When Lin Qiu heard Ling Yun say this, he opened his mouth and bit him again.
Song Mu wanted to bite Ling Yun too, but his bite would not leave only a small round tooth mark like Xiao Qiu's.
He had to tear off a piece of Ling Yun's flesh.
He carried the five puppies, including their litter, to the next room, then quickly jumped onto the bed, pushing Ling Yun aside: "Xiao Qiu, I'm here."
He was rarely impatient, and his kiss seemed a little messy, falling on Lin Qiu's lips like raindrops.
"How did you kiss him just now? Kiss me too."
Ling Yun pulled Lin Qiu out from under Song Mu and held him in his arms: "Xiao Qiu, let's demonstrate it to him again. How did you rush over and press me down to kiss me just now, huh?"
Ling Yun raised his eyebrows at Song Mu provocatively.
Song Mu's eyes were red and his teeth were sore from biting them.
Lin Qiu stopped him: "Let me show you something different today!"
