Ling Yun left the cave immediately, and Lin Qiu didn't have time to call her to have lunch.
Lin Qiu had never had a full meal in the mountains for most of her life. Now that she had the conditions, she had to fill her stomach with three meals a day.
At noon, Lin Qiu ate a sweet fruit and tried to eat some meat dipped in the sweet fruit juice powder baked yesterday. Although the meat had flavor, the sweetness was still a bit strange.
Seeing that her taste changed a little too quickly, Song Mu couldn't help but remember that there was a saying that after mating, females would be affected by the racial characteristics of males.
Lin Qiu didn't like eating meat before, and would only eat a little when she couldn't find fresh vegetables in the cold season. Now her transformation made Song Mu feel like his heart was filled with something.
Lin Qiu wiped her mouth and saw Song Mu staring at her: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the stone tool?"
Song Mu quickly shook his head: "No problem."
"Then let's keep working hard."
Lin Qiu was not idle in the afternoon and continued to spin cocoons.
The cocoon silk is very thin, but the color becomes obvious when it is wrapped around the peeled light yellow branches. Lin Qiu wraps the cocoon silk of different colors around different branches and directly sorts the colors.
Song Mu didn't know what Lin Qiu was going to do, but she let her go.
Lin Qiu spent the whole afternoon pulling out five butterfly cocoons but still couldn't finish it. However, Song Mu quickly used his claws to sharpen a stone hammer and a pickaxe, and tied them to a thick branch with hemp.
The orcs' claws are very sharp. They never make tools. Even hard stones will be polished in Song Mu's hands.
"You try it first." Lin Qiu pointed to a mound next to the cave.
Song Mu nodded, raised the stone hammer in his hand, and smashed it down with a "crack". The soil clod cracked, but the handle also broke.
"This..." Song Mu said as if he had made a mistake, "I didn't control my strength well. I'm sorry, Xiao Qiu."
"It's okay, it's just a branch, I just need to tie it up again, why are you apologizing?"
Despite Lin Qiu's comfort, Song Mu still looked gloomy, and his back looked particularly lonely as he went to find the branches.
"Oh, this personality..."
Lin Qiu held his forehead.
Ling Yun was out for a long time. When he came back, he not only brought back the small tree trunk, but also a furry beast.
The woolly beast looks similar to a sheep, but its fur is brown-red and its body size is about one and a half times that of an ordinary sheep. Its fur is very dense, and in winter, people tend to wear clothes made of woolly beast skins to keep warm.
Hunting woolly beasts in the summer is obviously not for their fur. This woolly beast is their meal ticket for tonight and tomorrow. Their family now basically eats an adult prey of similar size every day.
Ling Yun took a look at the results of Lin Qiu's afternoon work. She saw that she had wrapped different colored sections of the colorful butterfly cocoons around different tree branches. The colors were distinct and very beautiful, but he didn't think much about it. He thought Lin Qiu was just doing it for fun.
Lin Qiu had long lost his patience. He threw the cocoon aside and directed Ling Yun to make a cart, while Song Mu dealt with the woolly beast on the side.
Lin Qiu asked Ling Yun to tear off a long strip of animal skin from his home, and then drew a few marks on the strip of animal skin with burnt black wood.
"We use this as a standard measurement to ensure successful assembly."
Lin Qiu made a simple ruler, using the distance from the tip of her thumb to the tip of her middle finger as one stroke, and five strokes as one meter. She then divided one stroke into four equal parts, each part being five centimeters.
"Xiao Qiu, you are so smart." Ling Yun immediately praised Lin Qiu when he saw that he came up with such a good idea.
"Come on, start by cutting all these tree trunks into 1.5-meter lengths." Lin Qiu measured the small tree trunks Ling Yun brought back, each about 8 centimeters in diameter. "Ten sections will be enough."
"good."
Ling Yun brought back a lot of tree trunks, and he worked in an orderly manner according to Lin Qiu's instructions.
The most difficult part of making a cart is making the wheels, but there are many huge trees in the Beast World, so it is easier to cut down one and polish it smooth to make a solid wheel.
During dinner, Ling Yun asked Lin Qiu how much he had eaten during the day. After hearing Lin Qiu's answer, Ling Yun was very satisfied.
His little female is too thin. Before the cold season, she needs to gain some weight and eat more meat to become stronger.
It gets dark very slowly in the summer. Ling Yun had finished the cart except for the wheels before the sun set, and planned to go and pick up a thicker tree tomorrow.
But at night, Ling Yun and Song Mu started arguing about who would sleep with Lin Qiu.
"It's my turn tonight." Song Mu stared at Ling Yun.
"Stop looking at me with those dead fish eyes of yours. You can't even get your own food now. How dare you sleep with Xiao Qiu?"
Ling Yun retorted mercilessly.
Lin Qiu swallowed and wanted to raise his hand to speak: Don’t your two eyes look the same?
"Xiao Qiu said that I'll return it to you after I recover from my injury."
Song Mu did not give in at all.
"Then wait until your injury is healed, and then sleep with Xiaoqiu!" Ling Yun would not be persuaded so easily.
"Xiao Qiu..." Song Mu looked at Lin Qiu eagerly.
Ling Yun also looked at Lin Qiu, his eyes full of grievance, "I worked so hard hunting outside today, can you bear to let me sleep at the entrance of the cave?"
In the Somali continent, more capable males usually have more say in the family and have priority in mating with females, but all this is based on the female's preference.
Ling Yun felt upset when he thought that Song Mu had mated with Lin Qiu but he hadn't.
Lin Qiu touched his neck: "Or, let's sleep together."
As long as they don't turn into beasts, her little animal-skin bed might be enough to squeeze in.
Hearing Lin Qiu's words, Ling Yun and Song Mu's eyes lit up, but Ling Yun immediately said, "Your bed is too small. You won't be able to sleep well if the two of us sleep together. Song Mu, go find some hay tomorrow to make 'our' bed bigger. You can sleep on the floor today."
Song Mu also knew that he had no ability at the moment, so he could only swallow his anger.
Lin Qiu watched as Song Mu turned into a big tiger and lay miserably beside her bed. She reached out and touched his spine guiltily.
Song Mu really liked Lin Qiu's touch, but her hands were also like tiny needles pricking him, making him feel numb, itchy and very stimulating.
Song Mu's tail couldn't help but stand on end, and the entire tiger's skin rolled up.
Ling Yun took Lin Qiu's hand back from behind: "Xiao Qiu, let's go to bed."
He said he would not transform into a beast tonight no matter what. Ling Yun stretched out his arms and legs and hugged Lin Qiu in his arms.
Ling Yun was a little nervous, afraid that Lin Qiu would not want to be so close to him. His heart was pounding. After waiting for a long time and seeing that Lin Qiu did not refuse, he finally felt relieved and rubbed the top of Lin Qiu's head with his chin.
Lin Qiu felt something pressing against his legs and tried to move away, but Ling Yun pulled him back.
