Rett felt it was troublesome. He looked around, but there wasn't a single beast shadow, so where was he supposed to find someone!
Helping was impossible. He couldn't guarantee he wouldn't look around, but Yi Yi, this female, couldn't be seen by just anyone. If she really clung to him, it would be difficult to explain to the witch doctor.
Besides, if Xin'er knew he was helping another female get dressed, she probably wouldn't forgive him!
Thinking of Shu Xin, who was bleeding at home, Rett felt as if he had been doused with a basin of cold water. His restless heart calmed down, and he decided to fly further away to find someone to help.
Coincidentally, he smelled the scent of his father and his females. Balun also sensed his presence and immediately shouted, "Little cub, how old are you to still be peeking?"
Rett's eyes twitched. "Father, I just arrived. I wasn't peeking at you."
"It's like this, Yi Yi seems to have injured herself while bathing in the river. It's inconvenient for me to go, and the grandmothers are here. Grandmothers, please go take a look."
Balun chuckled meaningfully, "Isn't this a good opportunity for you?"
Rett was speechless. "Father, don't joke. I don't like Yi Yi. Grandmothers, please go quickly. If something happens to Yi Yi, it will be hard to explain to the witch doctor."
"This kid!" Balun cursed with a smile, quite displeased that someone had disrupted their wonderful night.
Hu Sha glanced at him. "Rett is devoted to Xin'er, much better than you, a father!"
"Rett, take me there. I'll go see what's wrong with Yi Yi."
Balun, displeased at being lectured by his female, wickedly reached out and pinched her bear. "If I were devoted, would you still have a powerful male like me as a partner?"
Hu Sha, embarrassed and angry, hit him!
"Rett, you go back. I'll take your grandmothers there."
This was exactly what Rett wanted. He quickly told them Yi Yi's location and flew back.
Father is really getting thicker-skinned with age. He's still here, and he's so unrestrained. But Grandma Hu Sha's figure is still as good as ever~
...
Yi Yi, who hadn't put on her clothes yet, was furious. That bastard Rett, she had called him several times without a response. Could he have already left!
She had to admit, she guessed correctly.
Just as she was considering whether to wait a bit longer, Balun's three females arrived. Hu Sha asked worriedly, "Yi Yi, are you alright?"
Hearing Hu Sha's voice, Yi Yi's body stiffened. "Ah, grandmothers, why are you here?"
Hu Sha said, "Rett said you were injured and it was inconvenient for him to move you, so he asked us to check if you were okay."
Yi Yi's face darkened. That bastard Rett!
"Grandma Hu Sha, I accidentally twisted my waist. Can you help me put on my clothes?"
Hu Sha smiled knowingly. "Of course."
With the help of Hu Sha and Lan Hua, Yi Yi successfully put on her clothes. Xing watched Balun from not far away. They knew Balun was a pervert, and young females' bodies shouldn't be seen by him.
After Yi Yi was dressed, her face flushed unnaturally. Part of it was shyness, but more of it was embarrassment. That bastard Rett, she would definitely go find him to settle the score tomorrow!
Balun sent her back. Despite being disturbed, it didn't prevent them from continuing their wonderful night life. After all, during the rainy season, they wouldn't be able to do so outdoors for a long time~
As for whether Yi Yi could sleep that night, no one cared.
...
As soon as it dawned.
Rett and Shu Xin arrived. Went's corn and egg drop soup was just ready.
"Why are you here so early?"
Shu Xin said, "It's not early. We need to peel the corn husks as soon as possible today. If they get damp, it won't be good!" The corn from both families was stored together.
"Then let's eat quickly." Went went inside to call Shu Yue.
Shu Yue found that she could accept it. After sleeping, she felt less bothered by what happened last night.
After the four of them finished breakfast, they went to the cellar to peel corn husks. The workload was heavy, and the four of them might not finish in one day.
Rett had already informed Balun that he wouldn't be hunting today and would focus on household matters first.
Shu Xin looked at the corn filling the cellar and frowned. "Actually, we harvested the corn too late. We should have harvested it half a month earlier. After drying the corn thoroughly, grinding it into flour would be more convenient for storage."
Shu Yue sighed. "We discovered the corn too late. We can only do this this year. We'll prepare early next year!"
"Yes, I hope the corn won't get too damp after the rainy season." Shu Xin had no good solutions at the moment.
The two males didn't understand and just worked hard.
Originally, Jiao Jiao was supposed to come find Shu Yue today, but the tribal chief issued an order to peel all the corn husks within a day. As a result, except for the beasts who went hunting, everyone else was peeling corn husks today...
However, there were many hands, and with the arrangement of two shifts for meals, all the corn in the underground cave was peeled within a day.
The corn husks were piled outside, intended to be dried and used as firewood. They burned much better than wood and were perfect for use during the rainy season.
Everyone worked hard for a whole day. The females' backs were sore, and it took several washes to remove the dirt from their hands. The females were tired. After filling their stomachs at night, they all went to bed early.
Only in large tribes like the Warrior Tribe could the tribesmen eat meat twice a day. For ordinary small tribes, eating one full meal a day was already a great harvest.
Shu Yue and the others ate whenever they were hungry, which could truly be described as aristocratic life in the beast world.
...
Night.
"Oh, Went, give my back a massage. It's a bit sore." Shu Yue lay on the bed, motionless.
Went reached out and massaged her. "I told you I would do it, but you insisted not to. You must be tired."
Shu Yue found the massage very comfortable and closed her eyes. "If we didn't help, how could we have finished today? What if it rains tomorrow? The corn husks won't dry, and the cellar will be filled with a foul, damp smell!"
Went had nothing to say. He could only keep it in mind and secretly do the work early next year.
"Yue Yue, I'm going hunting tomorrow. You rest at home. Tell me what kind of meat you want to eat, and I'll bring it back for you."
Shu Yue responded drowsily, "Catch a few chickens for soup. It would be even better if you could catch them alive. We can raise them in the yard, which will be convenient to eat during the rainy season. Also, some wild vegetables. I'm a bit tired of meat these past few days."
Went agreed to everything, thinking about how to catch them alive, while Shu Yue had already fallen asleep during the massage.
Seeing this, he could only sigh regretfully. It had been too busy these past few days. They would have time during the rainy season~
—
The next day, the weather changed. Dark clouds covered the sun, and the air was exceptionally stuffy and humid, unlike the usual dryness.
This was uncomfortable.
Shu Yue asked, "Has the rainy season started?"
Went looked at the sky and said, "No, it will rain tomorrow. We will hunt more prey today and will be back late."
