Chapter 5 Stone Fruit
Chapter 5 Stone Fruit
Lin Weiwei was still asleep when she heard several voices chattering. Upon closer listening, she realized it was the clan leader, the beast father, the beast mother, the four beast fathers, the eldest brother, and the second brother.
Those who didn't come probably went hunting.
The clan chief was overjoyed that Lin Weiwei chose Zexuan as her beast mate, and now he treats Lin Weiwei like his own child, showering her with affection. This morning, Zexuan told the clan chief that Weiwei had discovered food that could be preserved, so they wouldn't have to worry about going hungry during the cold season.
With so many people coming over, Lin Weiwei felt embarrassed to stay in her house any longer, so she quickly packed up and left the cave.
"Father, Father, Fourth Father, Mother, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, what brings you here?" This included the clan leader.
The clan chief's eyes crinkled with a smile every time he heard Lin Weiwei call him "father."
"Wei-ya, Ze-xuan said you discovered something edible that can also be grown. What is it?"
At this moment, Zexuan brought over two stone fruits, which were five times larger than the potatoes Lin Weiwei had eaten last night. No wonder they were called stone fruits.
"It's this kind of stone fruit. You can roast it or boil it. I'll boil it for you now," Lin Weiwei said.
Ze Xuan was about to speak when the clan leader spoke first.
"Zexuan, you go cook. How can you let the female cook?" In the era of polyandry in the beast world, male beastmen not only hunt, cook, and clean, but also take care of their offspring.
In fact, male beastmen are very simple-minded, and the beastmen get along very well with each other! If a female cub is born in a family, all the beastmen treat her as their own.
This is the importance of females.
"Yes, Father."
"What else do you want, Weiwei? Tell me, and I'll do it," Zexuan said to Lin Weiwei.
"Yes, yes, Weiwei, you say so, let Big Brother come."
"Yes, yes, let the second brother do it." All the older brothers are doting on their sister.
Lin Weiwei taught Zexuan to peel and cut the stone fruit into pieces, and also cut the flesh into pieces. He then put them into a stone pot, added water, and a little salt.
"Zexuan, what about the trees I told you about last night?"
"Tell me what you're going to do in that corner by the wall."
"You cook something first, I'll ask my brother to prepare it."
Lin Weiwei went to the wall and looked at the trees, explaining to her two older brothers that they needed ten wooden bowls, ten pairs of wooden chopsticks, one large, one medium, and one small wooden basin, and one large, one medium, and one small wooden spoon.
The brothers, who were obsessed with their sisters, immediately transformed into beasts upon hearing what their sisters said. Their beast armor was long and very sharp, and they finished off the enemy in no time.
"Weiwei, is this how it is?" The eldest brother brought over ten wooden bowls and ten pairs of wooden chopsticks.
"Me too, me too!" The second brother brought over three wooden basins, large, medium, and small, and three soup ladles, large, medium, and small.
"Yes, yes, big brother, second brother, you guys are amazing!"
Lin Weiwei took the wooden bowl, chopsticks, and basin, and carefully inspected them; they were all of very good quality.
"Weiwei, tell your older brother if there's anything else you need to do."
"Brother, please take this and wash it clean for me. I'm going to have stone fruit soup later."
At this moment, Zexuan had already cooked the stone fruit soup, and its aroma wafted around everyone present.
"Brother, bring me the bowls and chopsticks."
Everyone sat around the stone table outside. Lin Weiwei took a sip of the soup; it tasted delicious, making her feel that this was truly human food! She was getting a little tired of eating roasted meat every meal.
"My Vivi's partner has become so well-behaved," the beast mother said while eating.
"Yes! My little one is amazing," the father replied.
Brothers: "Yes, yes, yes!"
Everyone ate very happily.
Chieftain: "I'll have someone go and collect the stone fruits later. You said they could be planted, right, Wei girl?"
Lin Weiwei nodded
"Wei-ya-tou, tomorrow you can go to the square and teach them how to cook and how to plant, okay?"
"Yes, but you need to choose an open space and wait for the stone fruit to sprout before you can plant it."
"Alright, alright, I'll arrange the vacant land. You can teach them how to plant the stone fruit tomorrow, okay?"
"Father, it's best to arrange for someone trustworthy to do the planting, after all, beasts are unpredictable," Lin Weiwei said.
"Father knows, Father knows everything."
The clan chief looked at everyone sternly.
"You'd better keep Wei's level-up a secret. If outsiders find out, and a male of the Heavenly Rank or higher tries to take Wei away, it will be very dangerous."
Everyone: "We all know that's why we came to talk to Vivi today, telling her not to leave the tribe unnecessarily."
Ze Xuan held Lin Weiwei's hand: "Weiwei, I will work hard to level up—to Heavenly Grade, Supreme Grade, Saint Grade. I will protect you for the rest of my life."
Lin Weiwei was deeply moved at this moment; this was the care and love of her family.
In modern times, Lin Weiwei's parents are very wealthy and are entrepreneurs. They have never had time to spend with her since she was a child, and she spends holidays alone. Her nanny is also just so-so.
So she really enjoys this feeling of being cared for and loved.
