Transmigrating to the Beastman Continent to Live a Happy Life - Chapter 85

The cold season has finally arrived!

Fortunately, the members of the Giant Tiger Tribe were efficient. They dried the giant rice over two days and stored it in animal skin bags, while the sauerkraut made from giant cabbage had also been completely prepared.

When Wu Xiaoyin woke up, only the glow of the campfire remained in the cave. The entrance door was tightly closed, and Lei Lu was facing away from him and preparing breakfast. The aroma of roasted meat mixed with the sweetness of honey wafted into his nose. Wu Xiaoyin instinctively took a couple of deep breaths.

Upon noticing the change in Xiao Xiao’s breathing, Lei Lu knew that he was awake. He placed the roasted giant bull meat on a stone plate, wiped his hands clean, and then scooped Xiao Xiao out of the blankets, wrapping him in layer after layer of animal skins until he looked like a chubby little bear.

After helping Xiao Xiao wash up, Lei Lu began to feed him. Watching him take small bites made the warmth inside the cave seem to elevate the warmth in his heart as well.

Only at this moment did Wu Xiaoyin truly wake up. He could clearly feel the sharp drop in temperature. Even though the temperature inside the cave was still above freezing, he could faintly hear the sound of wind outside, causing the thick door, which was 20 centimeters thick, to creak slightly. One could imagine how fierce the wind was outside.

Wu Xiaoyin swallowed the last sip of meat soup and asked, “It seems like there’s a strong wind outside. Is it snowing now?”

“It started snowing last night, and it will keep snowing until three days later. This is the first snowfall of the cold season, so it won’t last long. The temperature drop isn’t too severe yet,” Lei Lu replied while placing the stone bowl on the stone table.

Hearing that this was just the beginning startled Wu Xiaoyin a bit. After all, as a child from the southern part of Earth, he had never experienced such strong winds and snow. Even at the coldest times, it would only be around zero degrees. But the first snowfall on the Beastman Continent had already rendered the world so cold.

At this moment, Wu Xiaoyin truly realized how difficult it was to endure the cold season on the Beastman Continent, but he was still unaware that this was merely the beginning.

Shaking off his surprise, Wu Xiaoyin looked around the cave where visibility had obviously decreased. He asked worriedly, “Do we have enough firewood in the cave?” Just thinking about the cold feeling of not having enough firewood made him shiver involuntarily.

Hearing Xiao Xiao’s question, Lei Lu noticed the obvious panic on his face over the cold season and the slight tremor in his body. He quickly embraced Xiao Xiao’s small body and said, “Of course we have enough. Look, we’ve stored half the cave full of firewood. Moreover, this firewood burns for a long time. Just two or three sticks can last for a whole day and night. So Xiao Xiao, don’t worry, okay?”

He lightly kissed his forehead and kept saying, “It’s okay, I’ll take care of everything.”

Wu Xiaoyin felt a bit silly, this was just the beginning. If he couldn’t handle it now, how would he get through the entire five months that lay ahead?

Thinking this way, Wu Xiaoyin rubbed his forehead against Lei Lu’s chin and replied, “I’m fine now. I’m just thinking if I can do something to better get through this cold season.” After a pause, he immediately thought of something, “Do you remember I talked to you about warm items like scarves, hats, gloves, and hand warmers?”

Lei Lu could immediately recall anything Xiao Xiao mentioned, so he smoothly continued, “Of course I remember. What does Xiao Xiao want to make?”

Wu Xiaoyin paused at Lei Lu’s question. The most important items for making these things were needles, threads, and scissors, but none of them were available here. Suddenly, Wu Xiaoyin got stuck in his thoughts, unable to pull himself out.

Seeing Xiao Xiao’s complexion change for the worse, Lei Lu quickly shook his body gently and asked anxiously, “Xiao Xiao, what’s wrong?”
