Chapter 376: Chapter 377: Arrival of Winter
Fortunately, during the last month of the rainy season, the weather wasn’t extremely harsh, and there was no rain!
With the Beastmen’s extra shifts, by the last day of the rainy season, a house large enough to accommodate all the tribesmen had finally been built.
There were currently over 685 tribes members in Peach Blossom Village. After a month of tireless work, the 13 city defense teams managed to build 85 houses. Approximately 8 people live in each house.
The houses had many rooms, so they didn’t feel cramped. If any of the tribe members didn’t want to live with others, they could temporarily stay in the rooms on the second floor of the camp’s cafeteria.
Actually, the newly built houses were quite damp and not very suitable for living. Ideally, they should be aired out for a while.
But given the current situation, they had no choice but to move in ahead of time.
As soon as winter came, the temperature dropped sharply. Although it was not yet snowing, Su Tang had already added warmer clothes to her Beast Skin Clothes.
All houses had fireplaces, so Su Tang taught everyone how to use charcoal to fuel them, which was great for removing the dampness from the houses.
At first, the tribespeople thought the fireplaces were useless, a waste. Yet when the heat from the burning charcoal gradually filled the entire house, the warm shelter became highly praised compared to the freezing temperatures outside!
Especially the heated brick beds, they received unanimous praise from the elderly tribesmen!
In the past when the weather turned cold, many of their knees and elbows would ache terribly.
Su Tang had checked them, these were symptoms of having caught a chill in their youth, dampness penetrating their bones. Simply put, it was rheumatism. Whenever the weather was cold and humid, their conditions would flare.
Now with heated brick beds, they no longer had to worry. They just needed to light a couple of pieces of charcoal, sit on the brick bed, and they could hold out for a long while, comfortably basking in the warmth!
...
On the first day of winter, small snowflakes began to float in the sky.
Su Tang, wearing a fluffy beast-fur scarf around her neck, looked even more charming. Her little face turned red from the cold, making her look very adorable.
She had a pair of beast skin mitts on her hands. Like the scarf, they were made from long-eared Beast fur. Not only were they warm, but they also looked great!
She stretched out her hand to catch a snowflake. The crystal-clear ice flake, like a small opened fan, looked like a transparent silver needle.
Each flake had a slightly different shape but seemed no different from what she had seen on the Blue Star.
Gaiyin, holding a newly made Beast-hide Cloak in his hand, draped it over Su Tang.
"It’s cold out, be careful not to catch a chill."
Su Tang touched the round Barnacle-beast fur collar. The fur was glossy and soft and felt very comfortable against her cheeks.
Gaiyin had finally put on the Beast Skin Clothes that Su Tang had sewn for him.
Perhaps due to their physical fitness, Beastmen, particularly ones awakened with superpowers, seemed immune to the cold.
In the weather that made Su Tang want to wrap herself in quilts, they just wore a layer of Beast Skin Clothes and were even sweating a bit at their noses.
Su Tang sighed, "Every time I see you, it’s like we are not living in the same season."
Gaiyin affectionately stroked Su Tang’s hair, "When the warm season comes, I will take you to Ten Thousands Beast Country. We will find the other Crystal Stones and then go to Wood Immortal Mansion. Once you awake your Superpower, you won’t be afraid of the cold anymore."
Su Tang knew all too well the difficulties implicit within his words.
