【Quick Wear】My Years as a Mother-in-law

Chapter 302: Primitive Tribe Chieftain Mother-in-law 22

The mung bean soup received unanimous praise from the tribesmen. After Ying and Bing drank it, the heat in their bodies subsided a little.

Yun Xi looked at the window. The windows were taken into consideration when her house was built. There was a square window on each of the north and south sides, which provided good lighting. However, in the summer, there were no curtains, so the sunlight came in directly and it was very hot.

"Xing~Tao~Follow Mom to cut hemp."

The two children came out quickly, Tao was still holding an axe in her hand. The axe was shining silver and was still intact after being used for so long. It was worthy of being made in China.

"Mom, do you have any more hemp? We cut down all the hemp we found and only made four pieces of cloth." Tao looked at her mom expectantly.

Yun Xi nodded and said, "Come with me. Let's get some linen for the baby to use as diapers and make some clothes."

There is another hemp field further south on the map, but it is too far away and the tribesmen have not found it.

She planned to make some summer clothes as gifts for her unborn grandchildren, prepare some extra diapers, and make some clothes for Bing, so the linen would be dyed this time.

She saw some safflowers in the wild. Safflowers can be dyed directly. The process is simple and the dyed colors are rich. You can give it a try.

The three of them left Nanshan and headed southwards towards an untouched area.

Tao carefully observed her surroundings to prevent any danger. "Mom, these plants have become taller, have you noticed?"

Yun Xi explained to them, "After transforming into a beast, their appetite increases greatly, and their lifespan increases. If plants and animals don't grow larger at the same time, there won't be enough for the beastmen to eat. Furthermore, if the Beast God doesn't increase the size of animals, it will become very easy for the beastmen to hunt them. Then, it won't be long before many animals are eaten by the beastmen, and that's not what the Beast God wants to see."

If the beasts had not increased their strength at the same time, the situation would have become what she had seen before, where two snake beastmen could easily hunt goats and various prey. In other words, the beastmen from that planet could not come here at will, otherwise, the beasts on this continent, including humans, would have been eaten up long ago.

Tao thought thoughtfully, "So that's how it is."

Xing Huohua said, "Second sister, please explain it to me quickly. I don't quite understand."

Tao suppressed her anger and said patiently, "If we could easily catch prey and reach the fruit on that tree with just a stretch of our hands, what would we do?"

Xing thought for a moment, "Will it be comfortable?"

"Yes, it's very comfortable. When we are very comfortable, we will eat whatever we want and quickly enter the stage of reproduction. We will keep eating and reproducing. Sooner or later, the resources will be eaten up. Without food, our offspring will not be able to survive."

"Okay! I understand."

Xing nodded seriously, and Yun Xi shook her head helplessly. This child was indeed a little naive.

"It's just ahead, hurry up."

The three of them soon came to a lush place. Modern ramie can grow taller than a person, and the ones here are no less tall, with each one almost two meters high. The three of them were like monkeys entering the Peach Garden, chopping the ramie quickly. They stopped after three hours, not because there was no more, but because they were tired.

"That's all I'll take. I'll make a few trips to transport it back and soak it in the river."

What the linen needs is the plant fibers from the stems, and everything else needs to be soaked away.

"it is good."

The three drank some water to replenish their strength and continued to act according to the plan. It took them three trips to complete the transportation. When they returned home, the wolf had woken up and cooked dinner.

Dinner was a variety of seafood and fruits. Ying had a separate steamed yam. Everyone had the same amount of food every day, but children had half the amount, so there was no need to go hungry.

Yun Xi felt that life in the primeval forest was already inconvenient, and there was no need to let everyone go hungry. Moreover, having enough food was the key to retaining the tribe. If they followed the chief and were always hungry and cold, people's hearts would gradually disperse and the tribe would fall apart.

?

"Wu, are you sure there are no more monsters in the south?"

A big eagle lowered its head and looked at the petite crow.

Wu almost swore to the heavens, "Really? If I lie to you, I will never have enough to eat."

"Okay, let's go!"

Big Eagle looked deeply at the people of the Cloud Tribe, then took off first with his luggage.

It's not that he doesn't understand the Cloud Tribe's plans, but as the tribe grows, this area is no longer suitable for continued living. Resources are decreasing, but the population is increasing. The previous drought and wildfires in the north have caused more people to flee here, and conflicts are increasing day by day. It would be better to take the tribe away early and go to the unknown world in the south.

If the resources are really abundant, then it would be great. If the resources are not abundant, the tribe has stored food, so there must be plenty of space there.

With the cry of an eagle, a tribe left.

Wu breathed a sigh of relief. After all this time, he finally tricked a tribe away and hurried back to report.

"Chief, the Eagle Tribe left. I saw it with my own eyes."

In the evening, Wu had dinner at the chief's tribe and was warmly entertained.

"Cai, your suggestion is correct. Eagles, tigers, bears, snakes... are all orcs with a strong sense of territory. If they don't leave, there will be a big war sooner or later." Yun couldn't help but feel relieved.

Cai narrowed her eyes and said, "In the fall, I must find out about the beast transformation of the Yang tribe."

Yun Kuiwu paused, lowered his head and asked, "Cai, why are you so afraid of the Yang tribe?"

Cai closed her eyes but didn't deny Yun's words. "Yun, do you know? The Yang Tribe used to be not only powerful but also united. They often recruited outstanding orcs to join. It was an inclusive tribe. The Yang Tribe's priests were especially powerful. Even if they didn't have a dragon totem, they could connect to other totems through research..."

"The tribe in Yang not only has enough food and clothing, but also doesn't have to worry about their offspring being abandoned if their bloodline isn't stimulated. They can also improve their strength. It's a place everyone aspires to be. Other tribes can only envy, but there's no way they can surpass it."

Yun was shocked and stopped chewing the barbecue. "You're going to take good care of people who can't transform into beasts? So generous? Is there enough food?"

"It's said that the priests of the Yang Tribe will make weapons and assign tasks to ordinary people who can't transform into beasts. They'll prevent the beastmen from gossiping and give them the ability to protect themselves." Cai looked at Yun. "It's difficult for beastmen to have children. They might be lucky to have just one offspring in their lifetime. Who can guarantee that all of their offspring will be beastmen?"

Yun Daidai said, "Now that you say that, I'm yearning for the old Yang tribe."

Cai snorted coldly, "Humph! Wake up and stop dreaming. You are now the chief of the Cloud Tribe."

Yun's eyes suddenly widened. "Oh, now I remember. Last time I went to the Yang Tribe in the south, their caves? Not really caves! They were just square dwellings."

As she spoke, she started drawing on the ground and soon drew the shape of a house.

"What kind of residence is this? Cai, do you know?"

Cai shook her head. "I've never seen this before. It's not a cave or a tent. What on earth is this?"
