Chapter 341: Telling Stories to Put You to Sleep
When the clone saw Daya and the others, the original body had already told Xi Lu what had happened.
They came in the rain, and Shi Shen took animal skins to wipe the water droplets off their bodies.
Xi Lu touched the forehead of the female cub and found it was very hot. Her whole body was red with fever, so she instructed the male holding her to cool her down physically.
"Did she get sick because of a cold?"
"Yes, she sneaked out to play in the water and got sick at night."
Xi Lu felt her pulse and found out that she had only been in school for more than a year. To be precise, she had not learned much at all. At most, she could prescribe some antipyretic drugs according to the pharmacopoeia.
Xilu went to prepare the medicine, asked the male Ami to boil the medicine, and then sat aside to watch the father of the female cub cool her down.
The female cub is called Bai Duo. She is five months old and can already run and jump. She looks the same age as a three-year-old pure human child.
Ami's animal companion fed the medicine to the unconscious Bai Duo. Xilu pointed to the cave on the left side and said, "There is a stone bed in the cave. Carry her in. If the fever can go away today, then it should be fine."
Orcs are still much stronger than pure humans.
Ami and her males followed.
Daya sat on the stool, feeling a little anxious and worried, but she couldn't help much if she went over.
"Mother Beast, you guys are not going back tonight, are you?" Xi Lu asked, "There are caves nearby, you can choose the one you like to stay in."
"Okay, thank you Lulu."
"You are so polite. It is raining heavily now. You can wait until the rain stops before going back. Or you can stay here with us during the rainy season." Daya the beast mother is very good at telling stories, better than the cat.
"Okay." Daya nodded.
Shi Shen continued to plane the wood, and Daya's idle beast companions were once again commanded by Daya to be the strong laborers of Shi Shen.
Xi Lu made scented tea with jam to treat Daya and shared her sour fruits.
Daya loves to eat.
Xi Lu said: "Shi Shen doesn't like things that are too sour, I didn't expect you to like it."
"I like sour food. This one makes my mouth hurt a little, but I want to eat it again after a while."
"The peppers that hurt your mouth are called chili peppers. There are many kinds of them, and some of them can be used as medicine."
"We are going to make fruit cakes tomorrow. Would you like to join us, Mother Beast?"
"I don't know how, please teach me."
"Okay, I don't really know how to do it either, we can study it together." After all, her knowledge of cooking methods for pasta and other foods comes from online platforms, and she loves watching food videos.
At sunset, Bai Duo's fever had subsided. Ami, who had not eaten much for the day, relaxed his tense spirit. His eyes went dark and his body swayed.
The male next to her held her nervously.
The male orc who was supporting her said, "Ami is having a cub."
A mated male orc can smell a female before she shows any signs of pregnancy, and can also smell who the baby belongs to.
Xi Lu felt her pulse for a long time and said, "She's fine. She's healthy. She's just hungry."
While waiting for dinner, Xi Lu saw that Ami ate a lot of meat, much more than Daya, "Does she usually eat like this?"
Daya replied: "Ami has had a good appetite since she was a child. She is a big eater. I just laugh at her. I don't know how many beast companions she will have to find to hunt for her in the future."
"Don't eat too much, it's not good for the baby in your belly." Xi Lu reminded, "Just eat half full now. You didn't eat much today, and eating so much suddenly is not good for your health."
"You can eat another meal when you are hungry at night."
"Okay." Ami nodded.
Bai Duo's beastly father Manggu was feeding her white fruit porridge. She was a little unhappy and wanted to eat meat, but she still drank the porridge obediently.
At night, knowing that Shi Shen liked quietness, Daya and Ami chose the cave at the edge to live in.
Daya said, "I just went back a short time ago, and the seven cubs dug so many holes."
Shi Shen sorted out Xilu's bark notes and said, "Store food for Lulu. You and Sister can come here often to stay with her in the future."
Shi Shen was afraid that she would be bored, so he welcomed his beast mother and elder sister to come and play with Xilu.
"Okay, then let's live here during the rainy season. We can play in caves when we stay in the tribe, and this place is a little wider. There's a shed, so we can go out and play."
"If you want to do anything, bring your uncles with you and let them help you."
"How about we dig a cave nearby? It's a bit noisy in the tribe."
"You can dig if you like." Shi Shen nodded and handed some lamps to her and Ami's males, "These are oil lamps. After they are lit, they can burn until midnight. You can pour the lamp oil in and continue to burn."
When he returned, Xi Lu had just finished taking a bath. He strode over, picked her up, and took the animal skin to wipe her hair.
"I'll rub it for you, Lulu, you smell so good."
"You say I smell good every day, but I don't smell it."
"When a male likes a female, he will find her fragrant, even if she is not in estrus."
Xi Lu pinched the muscles on his arm and said, "Although you don't smell good, you smell pretty good."
"Then Lulu just likes me."
Xi Lu kissed him and said, "You tell me I like you every day."
It's like he's confirming something over and over again, or maybe he just loves to say it.
"That's right. My beast patterns are all located closest to your heart."
Xi Lu sat astride his arms, hugged his waist, looked up and said, "I love you."
Shi Shen's eyes darkened when he heard that, and he grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms.
Xi Lu sensed the danger and patted his waist, "Continue to wipe my hair. I want to sleep tonight. Don't have any bad ideas."
"Can I kiss you?" Shi Shen continued to wipe her.
"No, you're feeling uncomfortable and you're going to cool down in the cold water by yourself. You're not taking care of your body."
"Just kiss for a while, like this." He gently touched her lips.
"this is okay."
"Then Lulu, say you love me again."
"Yeah, I love you, I love you the most." She leaned against his chest and rubbed her cheek against his.
"I love you too."
After drying her hair, Shi Shen tucked her into the quilt, went to take a shower, and came back to hug her.
He kissed her forehead, "Lulu, what are you thinking about?"
"Make up stories to put yourself to sleep."
He patted her back, "I'm going to coax you, what story do you want to hear?"
"The story of your White Tiger Tribe's ancestors was told a little bit by the Beast Mother last time, but she hasn't finished it yet."
"it is good."
Listening to his low and gentle voice, Xi Lu leaned on his chest and gradually fell asleep.
When I woke up the next day, there was a little kid peeking outside the cave.
Xi Lu lifted the straw curtain and grabbed her by her fur coat, "Bai Duo? Are you looking for me or your uncle?"
She looked full of energy and seemed to be completely well again.
The names here are very simple. The little ones call the males who are related to their mother "Uncle", and the females who are about the same age as their mother are called "Auntie".
As for non-blood-related males, they are all called Uncle Beast.
"I want to play with my aunt."
Xi Lu touched her head and said, "Come in, have you had breakfast?"
"I ate it. Beast Father fed me."
"Do you eat sour fruits?"
"Is it tasty?"
"you try."
