"Xiao Qiu, whose cub would you rather have?"
Lin Qiu touched the back of her neck in embarrassment. How could she know whose cub this was? These two tigers were fighting each other every day and would not suffer any loss, especially when it came to mating. There was no day when they would let her go.
Lin Qiu didn't even know when she became pregnant with the cub, let alone when they made her pregnant.
Moreover, the two big tigers look exactly the same. Even if they are born, it is impossible to tell who is the father and who is the uncle.
Ling Yun and Song Mu stared at Lin Qiu. They didn't care whose baby was in Lin Qiu's belly. As long as it was Lin Qiu's, they liked it.
What they care about is who Lin Qiu hopes to bear this baby.
Lin Qiu covered his face and tried to escape: "I'm in this state, and you still bully me."
Whose did she hope it was?
She didn't dare hope.
Lin Qiu escaped from Song Mu's arms and went to the side. "Why don't you cook the potatoes differently? Make some oil, cut the potatoes into thin slices, and then fry them in oil. Sprinkle some chili powder on them. I really want to eat them."
As Lin Qiu spoke, the two of them immediately perked up and were distracted by Lin Qiu's topic: "Okay, that's easy. I'll fry as much as you want to eat."
Ling Yun immediately went to the kitchen to refine oil and cut potatoes.
"How do you make chili powder?" asked Song Mu.
Lin Qiu said, "If you want to make it now, just fry the chili peppers until dry and then grind them into powder. Just a little bit is enough. I can't eat it if it's too spicy."
"Okay, I understand."
Now that Lin Qiu is pregnant, Han Ji has nothing to eat. These are the only things left at home. There are not many peppers left, and Han Ji has to count the remaining peppers carefully. He and Ling Yun will not eat them, and they must all be saved for Lin Qiu.
Song Mu picked up the cup that Lin Qiu had finished drinking, then went to deal with Lin Qiu and went with Ling Yun to make the strange potato chips that Lin Qiu mentioned.
"After thinking about it, I decided to go to the Rat Tribe. Xiaoqiu has no appetite for meat, probably because she is from the Rabbit Tribe. She didn't like eating meat much before, but there are not many potatoes at home." Song Mu said.
Ling Yun shook his head: "We'd better not go out. Xiaoqiu is pregnant now and needs someone to take care of her. It's freezing cold and the roads are hard to walk on. It will take at least ten days for you to go back and forth. If I'm called out by the tribe during these ten days, I'm worried that there will be no one at home to take care of Xiaoqiu."
Ling Yun said this, and Song Mu nodded in agreement.
He said, "Then I'll go get some milk for Xiaoqiu. We should also go out and find a pregnant female beast to prepare."
Ling Yun was a little worried: "This winter's beast tide has almost completely destroyed the forest in front of the tribe. It will be difficult to find female beasts, especially pregnant ones."
Fortunately, the oxen were in the back mountain and had not yet been affected by the beast tide, otherwise the fence they had worked so hard to build would have been wasted.
"Then drink milk, it's nothing."
Song Mu didn't care. The cubs in Ren Ge's family were living well by drinking milk, and their size was no different from other cubs.
Song Mu went to the back mountain and saw that all the cattle were huddled in the cowshed they had built along the cave. In order to keep out the cold, Ling Yun had his men wrap the cowshed with animal skins, which at least could keep out the wind.
So it wasn't too difficult for him to look for them. These herds of terriers were often disturbed by the males in the tribe. They found that they didn't seem to have the intention of hunting, and these terriers seemed to have gotten used to it.
Song Mu took some milk home. Lin Qiu was very happy to hear about it and asked him to filter it and cook it before giving it to her.
Lin Qiu had heard of yogurt before, but she had never drunk it and didn't know how to cook it. She just thought that yogurt was sour and sweet and should be more appetizing.
But now I have milk to drink, which is good enough.
Seeing that Lin Qiu was drinking happily, Song Mu felt a little relieved, but drinking just this was not enough, and Lin Qiu was not a cub.
"If you have an appetite, just tell us anytime and we'll make you something to eat."
"good."
Lin Qiu was not really hungry now. Ling Yun fried some potato chips for her, but she only ate a few pieces before putting them down. She felt sleepy and leaned against the wall in Song Mu's arms, listening to Ling Yun and Song Mu discussing the affairs of the tribe, and fell into a deep sleep.
"Our tribe still doesn't have enough. It would be great if we could bring back seeds from other tribes and plant one kind of seeds, just like Xiaoqiu said."
Song Mu was still thinking about the fruits from the White Bear Tribe, and thought it would be great if their tribe had some too.
"I think we can communicate more with other tribes next year," Lin Qiu said weakly, leaning against Song Mu's arms. "Look, our tribe makes candles and weaves wool and silk. After the winter is over, we can have the males in the tribe make more of these things. Anything we can't use can be exchanged with other tribes."
Song Mu touched Lin Qiu's face and said, "If you're too sleepy, go to sleep. Did we disturb you?"
Lin Qiu shook his head, but moved his body downwards and rested his head on Song Mu's legs: "You guys talk, I'm listening."
Ling Yun said, "You're right. Last time, we traded our bacon and dried meat for a lot of good stuff. But those things are simple to make. When the weather gets warmer, maybe everyone will try to make them. But we can trade the candles and cotton yarn. We don't have to wait until we go to the trading center."
"Right," Lin Qiu rubbed his eyes. "The beast tide will definitely cause severe damage to the forests along the way. The tribes passing by along the way are likely to be attacked. Even if they survive, they may fall into famine. They may not necessarily need food."
