Ch 238 Beast Era (9.19)

Thank you so much Michelle, for your support! It means a lot!

“XunMi, what are your thoughts about that beast mob?” Gu Li threaded the chicken feathers together while asking.

“I don’t have thoughts. Every era has its own development pattern.” XunMi used a small piece of string to manuever the chicken feathers together. She added a piece of cloth to the outside sewed it all together.

XunMi had gotten the string from her space maret, which costed her a daylight robbery price of a hundred points per piece.

Gu Li’s movemnts stopped for a second, her eyes growing serious. “XunMi, who exactly are you?” You aren’t just a transmigrator like me, right?

XunMi placed her masterpiece to the side. She didn’t look up as she explained, “I’m a bit different than you. You can just think about how to best enjoy life, don’t spend too much time worrying about me. Everyone has their own destination and path that is inevitably impossible to avoid.”

Gu Li pursed her lips but didn’t ask anymore questions. Perhaps those beastmen were right: XunMi was an angel sent by their beast god. From her special abilities, her manner of speaking, and her every action- they were all attempting to cultivate the lives of the beastmen. Perhaps her arrival really was fate.

“Give me one of the strings.” Gu Li turned and saw XunMi was using the copper string to tie the chicken feathers together. Her eyes lit up. But this only ascertained her doubts about XunMi’s identity.

XunMi handed Gu Li a string and continued to work on her own craft. Soon, they had created ten altogether.

After eating the lunch that Yuan He brought over, XunMi took the shuttlecocks to the classroom tent.

“Wow. There are a lot of people today. Is it because you knew that we were playing games today?” Gu Li teased.

“Little Gu Li, what games did you think of? Hurry and teach us!” Yue smiled and gestured for Gu Li to join them.

Gu Li pulled out the shuttlecock to show everyone. “It’s this! Shuttlecock kicking. But wait. First bring out the homework XunMi assigned yesterday. After that, we’ll play.”

XunMi sat to the side, prepared to receive the homework.

A few younger females hurried to line up and hand in homework so that they could rejoin Gu Li in playtime.

XunMi found that about two-thirds of the people had chosen the right herb. To make it more difficult, XunMi assigned different herbs to various females. After she completed her inspection, she joined Gu Li.

Gu Li also began checking in on how the agriculture homework she handed out a month ago was going. Currently, the females were trying different ways to plant herbs themselves. The group went to go visit the growing area that they had selected near the back of the mountain. The soil here was more soft and it was close to the river up ahead. Because there were no tools like sickles or hoes, they could only use animal bone to create various tools that helped them create nestling grounds for their seeds. Although some were dried up, the overall result was impressive.

Gu Li individually explained reasons that some of the herbs may have dried up. She then had then dig up the ones that had died and replant new ones.

For the following two days, XunMi and Gu Li stayed largely with the females to help out with the wild herbs. During the time, children and females had already learned to play shuttlecock. On the lively flat plaza, a few people could always be seen playing shuttlecock or chicken fighting.

Soon, the rain season finally arrived. The night before, the entire tribe was excited. They had all prepared enough good. Ever since understanding the potential of the raising livestock, the chief leader split the beast men into three groups.

One group would go hunting, another would find other necessities, and the last group would protect the tribe and watch over the livestock. Meanwhile the females would go to the back of the mountain to pick herbs and also find food for the animals. In the process they also checked in on their growing herbs. XunMi has told them that too much rain in the rain season might not be good for the herbs.

Mu Yan has also thought perhaps the same applies to their livestock. That night, the beastmen created a wooden ceiling layer.

Standing in front of a cave entrance, XunMi and Gu Li watched the nonstop rain outside. It had already been raining for half a month. There was still two more months to go.

“I hope the rain season can hurry up and end. So boring, there’s nothing to do.” Gu Li laid on a large tiger and rolled around.

XunMi also plopped onto a wolf, her head leaning onto the wolf’s head. This was a common scene for the other tribe members. XunMi and Gu Li would meet up just to do nothing.

To the rest of the tribe, this rain season was unusually relaxed.
