Ling Yun said, "It's better if you only leave one room for her. After all, it's impossible for a female to live alone. Someone must take care of her. Please help take care of her. She's quite pitiful. I don't know if she can find her original tribe in the future."
Yan Yidao said, "Since our tribe has rescued her, should we send her back to her original tribe? She should stay in our tribe."
Yan Er spoke more directly: "Yes, Ling Yun. I think if she spends this winter with us, she might fall in love with us. I hope she can stay in the Tiger Tribe. Didn't Lin Qiu stay here too?"
Yan Wu patted Yan Er on the shoulder, indicating that his brother was right.
Ling Yun looked at the three brothers and said to them, "It's fine if you want to mate with her, but if you use this musk, you will no longer be able to have children. You should think carefully before pursuing this female."
"We three brothers can't have cubs anyway, so wouldn't it be great if we could have more females?"
"This female's personality might not be so good. Perhaps it's due to her experience, or perhaps it's just the way sheep are," Ling Yun finished his words. "However, it's up to you. I'll leave this musk here. Since you want to try to woo her, I'll leave the task of taking her over to you without worry."
"No problem. This musk is that nasty smelling thing on the male musk deer, right? This one probably won't last long. I can go catch some more now while it's still not too cold."
"That's enough, of course, but it would be even better if you could catch more. When you bring her here, don't forget to ask the old orc over there for some more meat, just in case we don't have enough."
"Okay, we got it. I'll go get her right away."
Yan Yi was a little impatient because a female was coming to his home.
Hearing them say this, Ling Yun felt relieved and handed the matter over to them.
He was about to return home when Yan Wu stopped him and said, "Ling Yun, when you came to us last time to discuss the deployment of defenses, the three of us had already prepared our bows. Did you tell the clan leader?"
"I just told him today, let's just wait for his arrangements."
Ling Yun did not talk about the twists and turns in his conversation with Wu Chuan. After answering Yan Wu's words, he hurried home.
Song Mu stewed fresh animal meat and potatoes together and added some chili peppers. The aroma whetted Lin Qiu's appetite.
Ling Yun had food to eat as soon as he got home, and he thought it was pretty good.
"Should we send some to that Feather Tribe orc?"
Lin Qiu thought about it and couldn't help but worry, "Maybe those feathered beastmen can't stand the cold. That cave is only protected by a fur curtain. Can they survive this cold season?"
"After he finishes eating, I'll send him some animal skins with hay inside. He can just turn into an animal and nest in it. Males are not as fragile as you think, Xiaoqiu." Ling Yun gave most of the potatoes in his bowl to Lin Qiu. Song Mu had almost put all the potatoes in Lin Qiu's bowl, so now Lin Qiu's bowl was full of potatoes.
If she were only allowed to eat potatoes and not meat in Hongshi Village, Lin Qiu would feel sad about the family's preference for boys over girls, but now she is tired of eating meat and she really likes potatoes.
"Okay, we must not let him die. We also need him to help catch some birds and beasts." Lin Qiu said.
Ling Yun nodded. "I just stopped by to see Xin Lan. She said she wanted some feathers too. I don't know why she likes a dull color like black. We didn't get many feathers of that color back then. Next time, I'm going to ask that feathered beastman to catch a black bird... Oh, by the way, what's his name?"
Song Mu and Lin Qiu looked at each other and shook their heads at Ling Yun at the same time.
They also didn't know the name of the feathered orc.
"Never mind. I'll talk to him later. Xiaoqiu, eat more."
Ling Yun was busy shoveling meat into his mouth, but Song Mu said, "Xin Lan doesn't have to wait too long to get the black feathers she wants. That feathered beastman happens to be black. Just pluck two from him."
After hearing this, Ling Yun said, "That's great. That girl is impatient, so now we don't have to wait."
After he was full, he wiped his mouth and went to the cave next to him.
Mei Yan was shivering with cold in the cave. He had now turned into a beast, squatting in the corner of the cave with some dry grass under him.
"I've already reported to our tribe leader. You can stay in our tribe until you recover from your injuries, but we have one condition."
"I... I know, catching birds and beasts... I can... uh..." Mei Yan shuddered. He was so cold that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
Ling Yun went over to help him reinforce the cave entrance with a few layers of animal skins, and then put the remaining skins on his body: "You Feather Tribe are too cold-resistant."
Mei Yan felt his body being pressed down by the thick animal hide, but this feeling was much better than the cold, making him feel very at ease. "How about you turn into an animal form and warm me up?"
Ling Yun gave him a disgusted look and ignored his words: "Besides this matter, you should pluck a few feathers for me now. Five, no... ten."
"Ten? You want my feathers?" Mei Yan's round little bird eyes opened and closed. "We, the Feather Clan, cannot give our feathers to others!"
"Do you still want to spend the winter here with us?"
"...You shot me, so you should be responsible for my recovery."
Ling Yun looked at him and said, "You are from the Crow Tribe, right? You are really stupid. The orc who shot you was another one, not me."
Although he and Song Mu looked alike and had similar smells, no male in the tribe would mistake them for each other.
Mei Yan transformed into a human form, wrapped himself in several layers of animal skins, and said to Ling Yun, "Why don't you just say you're being too rude? My feathers can only be given to my future female. They symbolize loyalty, so I can't give them to you. I've already agreed to help you catch birds and beasts, can't you even endure it for a few days?"
When Ling Yun heard this, he knew that he couldn't force Mei Yan.
Chastity is still very important to males: "Then while it's not too cold these few days, you can come out more often and help us watch the sky."
"No, it's too cold... I don't have any clothes. You have to at least give me some winter clothes."
"That's no problem. If you're really too cold, you can lift the curtain when the wind is a little weaker and make a fire at the entrance. You can use some of the firewood here. Oh, and I brought you some candles. I don't know how well your Feather Tribe sees at night, but keep them for lighting at night."
Ling Yun and Song Mu had originally prepared enough firewood to heat two kangs, but now that they tricked Lin Qiu into sleeping with them, they still had some left over.
