Chapter 23: Bear Paw Feast! The Fox-eared Girl’s Lap Pillow!
Xing was still focused on roasting the meat. She didn’t realize at all that Lin Ye had already set his sights on her. Lin Ye quietly got up from the ground. Using both hands and feet, he crept behind Xing. Lin Ye crouched behind Xing and took a closer look. As a result, Lin Ye was stunned. “How… how can this be! Why? Why doesn’t she have a tail!” Lin Ye looked behind Xing’s behind and saw that it was bare and very flat. Above the beast skin skirt was wheat-colored skin, with no trace of a tail at all. When Lin Ye saw that Xing didn’t have a tail, he was instantly very disappointed. Dejected, he crawled back to his original spot. Lin Ye returned to sit with Susu and Ying. At this moment, the bear paw was already emitting a fragrant aroma. Ying looked at the bear paw in her hand, drooling. Shi took a few pieces of roasted meat and got up to deliver them to the sick Beast-eared Girls. Xing picked up two more pieces of meat and placed them on the bonfire to roast. After a while, the sun also set. The bear paw was finally roasted. Susu handed the bear paw in her hand to Lin Ye. She continued to roast a piece of donkey meat herself. After receiving the bear paw, Lin Ye couldn’t wait to blow on the heat and take a bite. The rich, oily aroma filled Lin Ye’s mouth. Lin Ye comfortably closed his eyes, a look of enjoyment on his face. Seeing Lin Ye’s expressions of enjoyment as he ate the roasted bear paw, Susu’s face bloomed with a happy smile. Ying, on the side, was also gnawing on a roasted bear paw. The large bear paw in her hand was a whole size bigger than her head. Ying noticed Lin Ye looking at her. She blankly raised her head and glanced at Lin Ye. Then, she lowered her head and continued to ravenously gnaw on the bear paw. Lin Ye looked at Ying’s silly appearance and a smile involuntarily appeared at the corner of his mouth. He then lowered his head and began to eat the bear paw. The happy laughter of the Beast-eared Girls could be heard from time to time. By the time Lin Ye finished the bear paw in his hand, night had already fallen. Lin Ye saw that Susu was sitting on the ground with her legs together. Lin Ye’s eyes lit up. He shifted his body and slowly lay down. His head happened to rest on the Fox-eared Girl’s lap. Susu saw Lin Ye lying on her lap. She naturally didn’t know what a lap pillow was. So, she looked at Lin Ye doubtfully. But seeing Lin Ye’s happy expression, although she was confused, she let Lin Ye lie there like that. Ying saw Lin Ye lie down and also ran over to lie on Lin Ye. Just like this, Lin Ye had a cat-eared little girl lying on him, while he himself was lying on the Fox-eared Girl’s lap pillow. He thought to himself, “Why doesn’t Xing have a tail?” He lay there for a while. Gradually, a slight breeze began to blow. The temperature at night had dropped by a few degrees compared to the day. Lin Ye felt the wind picking up. But if Ying, lying on him again, fell asleep and caught a cold from the wind, that would be trouble. So, Lin Ye sat up forcefully. Ying also looked up at Lin Ye. It was at this moment that Lin Ye realized that everyone had already returned to their tents. The bonfire, because no more firewood had been added, had only a few faint embers still bravely burning. Lin Ye scratched his head awkwardly. He had been lying on Susu’s lap for so long that he didn’t realize everyone had left. However, as Susu watched Lin Ye lying on her lap, her heart was pounding like a little deer. She didn’t know what this feeling was. She simply thought that it would be nice if Lin Ye could lie there for a little longer. That’s why Susu hadn’t reminded Lin Ye. Moreover, after Lin Ye sat up, Susu felt a little disappointed. “Everyone’s gone, let’s quickly go back to the tent and sleep,” Lin Ye said to Susu apologetically. The lap pillow was truly magical; he hadn’t even noticed the time passing. Ying was the first to stand up, yawned, and opened her arms, indicating for Lin Ye to carry her back to the tent. Susu also stood up, gave Lin Ye a shy smile, and then turned to walk towards her tent. Lin Ye turned around, picked up Ying, and returned to the tent. After Lin Ye and Ying lay down, Ying rested her head on Lin Ye’s arm and quickly fell asleep. Lin Ye lay on the dry grass and remembered that he hadn’t signed in for the day yet. So, he silently recited in his mind, “System, sign in.” “Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully signing in! Reward received: One Sichuan Pepper sapling.” Hearing the system prompt in his mind, Lin Ye couldn’t help but complain in his heart. “A hundred chili pepper seeds are still lying in the storage space, and now another Sichuan pepper sapling. Good heavens, they’ve got the spicy flavors all covered. The system is going for a Sichuan style, aren’t they? They’ll probably make me eat hot pot in the primitive society later.” As Lin Ye thought, his eyelids began to droop. Today, he had fought with a horned donkey and a black bear. The expenditure of physical strength and energy was actually quite high. After a yawn, Lin Ye quickly fell asleep. … The next day, when Lin Ye woke up, he found that Ying was no longer in the tent. Lin Ye stretched luxuriously on the dry grass. Then, he also got up and left the tent. Upon coming out, Lin Ye saw several Beast-eared Girls cleaning the bear hide that had been peeled off yesterday. Lin Ye went over and asked, only to find out. Because the black bear was killed and brought back by Lin Ye himself, this bear hide was his spoils of war. This was also a small rule in the tribe. Lin Ye looked around but couldn’t see Ying anywhere. However, he did find one of the twin Raccoon-eared Girls. Lin Ye went up and asked, only to learn. Xing and Shi had taken them to the river to fetch water again. Lin Ye then remembered that after he made the water purification device, the water became tasty. The water brought back from the river each time was only enough for the tribe for two days. However, this was still better than getting sick from drinking unclean water. Lin Ye wondered if there was a way to prevent the Beast-eared Girls from having to fetch water all the time. Or, to make it less strenuous to carry the wooden buckets over such long distances when fetching water. Lin Ye felt a pang of sympathy thinking about the Beast-eared Girls walking for over an hour with wooden buckets full of water. Lin Ye looked at the vines used to drag the prey back yesterday. He wondered if making straps for the wooden buckets would make it easier to carry them when fetching water. But then Lin Ye dismissed this idea himself. This way, fetching water would still require a large portion of the tribe’s Beast-eared Girls to be dispatched each time. Lin Ye sat on a stone, resting his chin in his hand, and began to ponder deeply. ……………………………………………………………….. ps: Please give me flowers, recommendation tickets, tips, and all kinds of support!
