Ling Yun was already very famous in the tribe. Now that he taught everyone how to make carts, candles, and cotton yarn, he became even more famous in the tribe.
Wu Chuan gathered all the single males in the tribe, and asked each female's family to send two males to go to the forest to search for the woolly beast herd.
Lin Qiu's situation was special, so only Ling Yun went out.
Woolly beasts are not difficult to catch, and there are quite a few of them. Most of them live together in groups. The reason why so many people go there is to catch all their fur in one go.
Song Mu was left behind to build a wall at home, placing one stone on top of another, smearing yellow mud in the gaps and pressing it tightly.
The eight pillars are tied with animal skins to help Song Mu build the wall vertically, otherwise the slanted wall will easily collapse.
Lin Qiu had a leaf covering his head and was accompanying Song Mu.
Originally, Song Mu wanted her to rest in the cave, but Lin Qiu was afraid that he would be bored, so he used the excuse of supervision and insisted on standing aside.
"Xiao Qiu, won't this mud be washed away when it rains? The rain during the rainy season is very heavy."
"No, we added egg white and hay to ensure its strength. Besides, the wall is mainly made of stone, right? When the time comes, we can make the roof into two slopes. When the rain falls on it, it will flow down the slope and will not directly wash onto the wall."
Song Mu thought about it, and just then Lin Qiu mentioned the roof: "How do we cap it? It's easy to build it straight up and down, but I can't find a way to put the stones on it horizontally."
Lin Qiu thought it was cute that Song Mu asked these questions so seriously, "You'll know when the time comes."
Song Mu nodded.
He thought that even if Lin Qiu asked him to stack the stones horizontally, he would do it by holding them with his hands.
It was normal for Ling Yun to go out into the forest to hunt. Moreover, this time many people went out together and they were only hunting woolly beasts, so there was no danger at all.
But as the sun was about to set, Lin Qiu suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart. She didn't know what was wrong with her, she just felt like her heart was hanging by something.
She said to Song Mu, who was making a fire and cutting meat nearby, "Is Ling Yun in danger? I'm a little worried about him."
"No, it's just a woolly beast."
Seeing Lin Qiu's worried look, Song Mu pursed his lips and said reassuringly, "Almost half of the males in the tribe have gone out. Even if they split up, there will be at least four or five people in a group. Ling Yun can hunt woolly beasts by himself, so how could anything go wrong?"
Song Mu didn't want to praise Ling Yun in front of Lin Qiu, but in order to reassure Lin Qiu, he still admitted that Ling Yun was very capable.
He cursed Ling Yun in his heart why he hadn't come back yet and dared to make Lin Qiu worry. Could this also be Ling Yun's intention?
When Song Mu thought about this, he couldn't help but increase the force of cutting the meat.
Lin Qiu bit his lower lip and said, "No, Song Mu, I'm still a little worried. You should go look for him."
"this......"
Ling Yun was only out for a day, so it's normal that he didn't come back.
"My task today is to take care of you at home." Song Mu said.
"Send me to Dongxue, then go look for Ling Yun. I see many of the males who went out today have returned, but Ling Yun hasn't come back yet."
"Only some of them came back. They may not have gone far."
"No, Song Mu..." Lin Qiu felt very bad. She grabbed Song Mu's hand and said, "I beg you."
Song Mu had never seen Lin Qiu like this before, actually asking him to do so.
Song Mu felt uncomfortable knowing that his female was so worried about another male, even though that male was a brother who grew up with him.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll go."
Song Mu finally agreed. He put out the fire and took the meat to send Lin Qiu to Dongxue.
"If you're hungry, eat something. I'll go find him and be back soon. Don't worry."
After giving instructions, Song Mu followed Ling Yun's scent and left the tribe.
Dongxue found it a little funny when she heard the reason why Lin Qiu came. "Although we will feel something after the male beast pattern is imprinted on us, it's not that exaggerated, right? We are just going to hunt some woolly beasts."
Lin Qiu did not have Ling Yun’s animal pattern on her body, but she just felt that something had happened to Ling Yun.
Ling Yun had gone hunting so many times before, but she had never had this feeling.
This feeling was very similar to the feeling of falling when she jumped off a cliff in human society. It was empty and there was a sense of terror that she was about to face the unknown.
Dongxue saw that Lin Qiu was too distracted to respond to her, so she straightened her expression and said, "Don't worry, he'll be fine. Maybe Song Mu will meet Ling Yun as soon as he leaves the tribe and comes back."
Dongxue held Lin Qiu's hand, and Lin Qiu nodded: "Well, it should be fine... I hope I'm just overthinking it."
"You must be overthinking it, Tan Yuan. Don't you just need to catch the woolly beast and shave its fur?"
Tan Yuan nodded: "It's not dangerous at all. With Ling Yun's strength, he can do it alone."
"Look, it's okay, Xiaoqiu."
Dongxue stayed with Lin Qiu all the time, but it was dark and Songmu didn't come back.
Dongxue asked Tan Yuan to roast the piece of meat that Song Mu brought, but Lin Qiu had no appetite to eat it, which made Dongxue very anxious.
She also didn't expect that Lin Qiu cared so much about Ling Yun. Although he was indeed a good male, what this world lacked the least was males.
Dongxue thought so in her heart, but did not make Lin Qiu's mood worse.
"Why don't you take me back to the cave? It's getting dark and you should rest."
"What are you talking about? The darker it gets, the more I dare not let you go back." Dongxue herself didn't dare to stay alone in the dark cave. Lin Qiu was so weak, how could he go back by himself? "Just stay here with me, and wait for Song Mu and Ling Yun to come back and pick you up!"
She grabbed Lin Qiu and realized that in the hot summer, Lin Qiu's fingertips were actually cold.
To be honest, the sky was getting darker and darker, and Song Mu had not returned yet. Dongxue was already beginning to believe that Lin Qiu's premonition was true.
Suddenly there was a noise outside, so loud that it seemed to wake up the entire tribe.
"What's wrong? Is Ling Yun back?"
Lin Qiu suddenly said excitedly.
Teng Ning carefully distinguished the tiger roar outside: "It's not Ling Yun's, and it's not Song Mu. But it should be the person who was assigned to the same team as Ling Yun this morning."
"I want to go out and take a look!"
Lin Qiu stood up and walked out of the cave. Dongxue was anxious and followed him out.
They followed the sound. It was too dark and Lin Qiu couldn't see anyone clearly. But as soon as she walked in, she heard an anxious voice:
"He fell into the quagmire. We didn't expect that the quagmire there would actually be a person-eating quagmire."
"Lin Qiu!"
Dongxue felt the figure beside her sway, and she quickly reached out to support Lin Qiu: "Lin Qiu, calm down."
