Chapter 319: Chapter 320 Leave it to me
Gaiyin rubbed her head and reassured her, "The rainy season is not as dreadful as the cold season, but it’s still miserable. Back in the wilderness, halfway through the rainy season, the caves at the bottom would always get flooded, making it inconvenient for the tribe members to get around and even harder to hunt."
Su Tang widened her eyes in shock, "Oh my God, how terrifying!"
Beastmen usually stand a lot taller than her, so when they were digging caves, they would aim for heights up to three or four meters.
The thought of a rainstorm capable of flooding a cave three to four meters high, especially in this Beast World with primitive facilities and tools, was outright horrifying!
Gaiyin gave a light-hearted smile, "Don’t be afraid, I’ll protect you."
Su Tang’s expression stiffened, but not because of what he said.
If the heavy rain could really flood the caves, wouldn’t all the supplies stored in the cave be ruined? Or should she move them somewhere safer before it starts to rain?
Gaiyin seemed to realize her worries and slightly raised an eyebrow, "Can’t you feel that we are much higher here than in the wilderness?"
Su Tang paused, "What do you mean?"
Gaiyin explained, "We have been walking uphill all this way, although the slope is gentle. I thought you would have noticed."
Su Tang:...
She wasn’t some kind of terrain detection device; how was she supposed to notice that!
Gaiyin: "But don’t worry, Yadang said this heavy rain won’t last long, and supplies won’t be flooded."
Indeed, compared to beastmen, her sensory perception might as well be useless.
As long as the valley is safe from flooding for now and the supplies are intact, everything is fine.
Once the house construction is near completion and the moat and main drainage pipes have been dug, she will no longer need to worry about this issue.
Moreover, they aren’t very far from the sea. Once they manage to channel a canal connecting to the sea, they will have nothing more to worry about.
She doesn’t want to continue this conversation anymore; it made her feel utterly hopeless.
Just then, the cub in her arms suddenly started crying, tears welling up and rolling down his chubby cheeks.
Su Tang quickly began cooing him in a soft, comforting voice, but despite her best efforts, he didn’t stop crying. She looked at Gaiyin somewhat frantically. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
"Could he be hungry?"
That one statement made Su Tang realize!
She smacked her forehead in self-reproach, "Ah! Look at me, forgetting about the little cub because I wasn’t hungry. Let me make him something to eat, can you hold him for a while!"
Without waiting for a response, she thrust the cub into Gaiyin’s arms and hurried towards the outdoor stove.
Beastmen could usually go without breakfast, so the stove was typically unattended in the morning.
But as she approached it that day, she noticed people around it, and, drawing closer, she saw that it was Aunt Hongguo and Yaya.
Seeing Su Tang, they too were surprised.
Yaya ran up to her hugging her leg with a smile, "Auntie, why are you here? Are you here to make something delicious for Yaya?"
Seeing Yaya’s radiant smile, Su Tang felt a twinge of sadness.
Back in the Piercing Stone Tribe’s cave, she used to often make delicacies for Yaya. But since they moved to this new tribal land, she has been so busy that she didn’t even have time to play with him, let alone cook for him.
Squatting down, she pinched his noticeably thinner face and smiled, "What does Yaya want to eat? I’ll make it for you~"
Yaya’s eyes lit up.
