Transmigrating to the Beastman Continent to Live a Happy Life - Chapter 102

Wu Xiaoyin looked at Bin in confusion and asked, “What do you want to discuss with me and Lei Lu?”

Xiao Kai laughed and replied, “Xiao Xiao, don’t you know? Bin sent Xin away to talk to you. Actually, we didn’t come for anything important. We’ve just been so busy lately that we’ve missed you. Since there’s a free time now, let’s go look for something to eat. You know, we’ve been eating roasted meat every day, and I’m tired of it. How about some fruits and wild vegetables?”

“Oh, I thought you really had something serious to discuss. In that case, let’s go find something delicious. But have you finished the sauerkraut, pickled vegetables, pickled fruits, canned fruits, and dried fruits?” Wu Xiaoyin remembered how Xiao Kai and Bin had scavenged the home, fearing the miserable end of having only animal meat as food for the whole cold season.

“We finished them ages ago, so we’ve been living on various kinds of animal meat during this period. Look at my lips, they’re starting to blister.” Xiao Kai pointed to his swollen mouth and said.

Wu Xiaoyin was surprised and asked, “You ate all that? How did you do that?”

Hearing this, Xiao Kai huffed indignantly, “There’s no way we finished it all ourselves. My dad loves eating and he even fights me for food. Kos drops by occasionally too. You know how much beastmen eat. With them eating like that, of course it ran out quickly. We finished it off just a few days after the growth season started.”

Wu Xiaoyin felt sympathy for Xiao Kai and Bin and said, “Then when we come back, you can have dinner at my place. I’ll bring you some sauerkraut and dried fruits for you to take back.”

Xiao Kai jumped and exclaimed, “Xiao Xiao, I know you’re the best!”

Bin smiled and added, “Thank you so much.”

Wu Xiaoyin waved his hand dismissively and spoke, “It’s nothing. I know that females can feel unwell after not having fruits and wild vegetables for too long. You shouldn’t spoil the beastmen too much!”

Bin chuckled and said, “It’s not as exaggerated as Xiao Kai says. We’ve only been without fruits and wild vegetables for a little over a month. Actually, my dad and Feng haven’t eaten that much either. We just wanted them to enjoy a few good meals since they like eating so much!”

“Is Lei Lu not allowed to eat what you don’t give him?”

“Of course I give him, but those are the fruits and vegetables from our home, which are enough for both of us. You’re too lenient with them. I know that the fruits and vegetables you gathered last harvest season were enough for you, Uncle Qing Ke, and Uncle Xing, and you could have fed the beastmen a few meals too! If there’s a shortage, it’s because you’re reluctant to share! Are you more hesitant about Uncle Fu and Uncle Qiong or about Kos and Feng?” Wu Xiaoyin’s eyes sparkled with mischief.

Xiao Kai shouted at his words, “No way! It’s because my dad looks at us while we eat! Isn’t that right, Bin?”

Bin nodded in agreement and replied, “Of course.”

They chatted and laughed all the way to the northern forest. Wu Xiaoyin recalled a piece of bamboo Lei Lu had brought back unintentionally before. Since it had been cold season at that time, he wanted to check on it now. He happened to be out with Xiao Kai and Bin for a walk now. He felt it would be a good opportunity to see if there were any bamboo shoots.

Xiao Kai eagerly took the lead and almost led Wu Xiaoyin and Bin into a ditch. Luckily, Lei Lu, Kos, and Feng arrived just in time. Otherwise, Wu Xiaoyin would have surely fallen flat on his face.

While Wu Xiaoyin was unscathed, the sight of Xiao Xiao nearly toppling over had alarmed the newly arrived Lei Lu. He was very tense and used all his strength to keep himself steady. Still, his trembling fingers and shallow breaths revealed his anxiety.

Wu Xiaoyin nestled into Lei Lu’s embrace and said, “It’s nothing to worry about. I’m fine, aren’t I?”

Lei Lu’s voice was noticeably urgent as he replied, “That’s because we arrived just in time. If I hadn’t caught you, you would have fallen. It seems that I should always keep you in my arms to make sure you’re safe.”

Wu Xiaoyin knew the harsh reality was approaching. Remembering last year when he hadn’t seen the green forest or blue sky for a long time, it was really miserable! He quickly said, “No, I promise I’ll wait for you to take me out next time, okay? I want to see if there are any ripe fruits and wild vegetables in the growth season.”

Lei Lu looked into Xiao Xiao’s eyes and asked, “You promise?”

Wu Xiaoyin coaxed him, “Of course, I promise.”
