Transmigrating to the Beastman Continent to Live a Happy Life - Chapter 39

Wu Xiaoyin was embraced by Lei Lu. He could not avoid the gift of the tribe chief and could only say, “Tribe Chief, I only want to make better use of my time. After all, the tribe has given me so much so that I can live here peacefully. I’ve just done a small thing, nothing special.”

When Kos heard Wu Xiaoyin’s words, he said excitedly, “Xiao Xiao, how can you say it’s nothing? This can greatly improve the survival chances and security of the females and cubs in our tribe during the winter!”

Even Feng’s expression softened as he echoed, “That’s right, Xiao Xiao, thank you so much!”

Tribe Chief Kun stood up and patted Lei Lu’s shoulder forcefully and opened his mouth to say, “Lei Lu, you better treat Xiao Xiao well. Otherwise, not only your father and dad, but even I won’t let you off!”

Lel Lu puffed out his chest and glared at Kun fiercely, then he said, “Of course I’ll treat Xiao Xiao well.” His gaze still revealed contempt as he said this.

Kun was so angry that he wanted to punch Lel Lu on the spot. But upon seeing Xiao Xiao in Lei Lu’s arms, he could only suppress his anger and took a deep breath. He scolded jokingly, “You little rascal, just remember that!”

Wu Xiaoyin did not have a deep understanding of the importance of the door, because when he came to the Beastman Continent, it was still the first month of the hot season and there was still the harvest season. He had not experienced the terror of the cold season. Naturally, he did not have any idea about it.

However, he learned from others the importance of the cold season to the beastmen of the entire Beastman Continent. It was a “gateway to the underworld.”

Wu Xiaoyin decided that in addition to ensuring that he and the people around him did not lack food during the cold season, he also wanted them to get through the entire cold season more comfortably. But starting to build houses now, not to mention whether there is enough time, the scale of such a project would make it impossible to get Lei Lu’s approval. He could only wait until today’s cold season to plan well and start implementing it slowly during the growing season next year.

Therefore, when everyone was focused on the door, Wu Xiaoyin spoke up: “Uncle Chief, it seems that the two most important issues for the cold season are actually keeping warm and securing food. Although this door can block the wind and snow, the temperature inside the cave is still very low. If we want to increase the survival rate of the females and cubs, how about I share my opinion?”

Kun nodded in response to Xiao Xiao’s summary.

“Xiao Xiao, you’re right. It’s the issues of keeping warm and securing food, so what else can we do to increase the chances of survival?”

Wu Xiaoyin pointed to the bed in the cave and said, “What we see now is the most ordinary bed. Allowing the females to not sleep on the ground is also a way to keep warm. The ground is too damp and cold, and even the thick animal skins cannot completely block the moisture rising from the ground. Combined with the cold winds at the cave entrance, it’s a double disadvantage. Therefore, by placing wooden boards on supports, we can block some of the moisture and low temperature. And with the effect of the door, it can serve as double insurance.”

Wu Xiaoyin paused here, not knowing if he should continue. But seeing the encouraging gaze of Lei Lu and the eager expressions of the others, he took a deep breath and continued, “If we can find a way to make a kang bed, we can maintain the temperature of the bed for a long time, which would be of great significance in solving the temperature problem. But…”

Kos heard the “but” and urgently exclaimed, “But what? Can’t it be done?”

Seeing Kos’s urgency, Wu Xiaoyin said, “It’s not that it can’t be done, but the conditions don’t allow it. The workload for making a kang bed is very large. Of course, this is not a problem for the males, but the biggest problem now is that the harvest season is coming, and the males’ time is mostly spent on hunting. I also want to teach everyone how to preserve large amounts of meat, fruits, and vegetables by salting, smoking, and many more. These requires a lot of manpower. So can we postpone the kang bed thing? After all, with this simplest bed and a lot of fur, we can temporarily get through this cold season.”
