Chapter 78: Discovering Clay and Sakura’s Brand New Experience!
Lin Ye dug out a piece of clay with his hand.
He kneaded it back and forth, and Lin Ye was pleasantly surprised to find that the clay was very clean, with no excess impurities.
This way, he could directly fire pottery by mixing it with a little plant ash.
Otherwise, Lin Ye would have to spend time cleaning out the gravel, grass roots, and other things from the clay.
Then, Lin Ye seemed to have thought of something.
Holding the clay with both hands, he slowly brought it closer to his nose and sniffed gently. “Phew, thank goodness, there’s no bad smell,” Lin Ye thought to himself, relieved.
After that, Lin Ye carried the clay one trip after another to a large stone in the tribe’s area.
Lin Ye also tried to see if he could put the clay into his Storage Space and transport it all at once.
However, the system prompted Lin Ye that he could not put anything other than system-produced items into his Storage Space.
Lin Ye was helpless, but he couldn’t do anything about it, so he could only transport the clay one trip after another.
The Beast-eared Girls watched Lin Ye carry one large ball of clay after another and place it on the stone.
They were all full of questions.
But this was not the first time Lin Ye had done something they didn’t understand.
The Beast-eared Girls did not make too much of a fuss.
The sun gradually set.
Lin Ye had already brought out ten clay balls the size of basketballs.
He placed the clay balls on the stone to dry in the sun for a while, to remove excess moisture, which would make the clay easier to shape.
Lin Ye saw that it was getting late and stopped.
Seeing his hands covered in clay, Lin Ye walked to the water pipe to wash his hands.
At this moment, Lin Ye noticed that the water from the water pipe had become much smaller.
Seeing this, Lin Ye knew that there was a problem with the inlet of the water pipe by the river.
If the water pipe had broken, there would be no water at all.
In this situation, it was likely that the inlet of the water pipe was blocked by something.
But the sun had already completely set, and it would soon be dark.
Lin Ye decided to go to the river the next day to check.
After washing off the clay and dirt from his body, Lin Ye returned to the tribe.
The Beast-eared Girls had all returned to their tents to rest.
Meanwhile, Sakura had been waiting for Lin Ye in the open space, as he hadn’t returned yet.
While waiting, she didn’t forget to hold a handful of berries, eating them as she waited.
Seeing Lin Ye return, Sakura happily ran up, took Lin Ye’s large hand, and handed him all the berries she was holding.
Lin Ye took half of them from Sakura’s hand, then held Sakura’s small hand, eating berries as they slowly walked towards the tent.
It was officially summer now. The temperature inside the tent was very high.
After returning to the tent, Lin Ye still had a Black Bear Hide underneath him.
This made Lin Ye even hotter.
Lin Ye couldn’t stand it, so he directly took off his clothes and threw them aside.
He also rolled up the Black Bear Hide and used it as a pillow, then lay down on the dry grass.
Lin Ye thought, it seems I still need to teach the Beast-eared Girls how to weave a few straw mats.
Otherwise, sleeping on animal hides in the hot weather would be unbearable.
Lin Ye lay on the dry grass with his upper body bare, and Sakura crawled over again.
She lay on Lin Ye’s shoulder.
Lin Ye was lost in thought when suddenly, Sakura sneakily touched a special spot on him.
Lin Ye shivered all over.
Lin Ye had never experienced such a feeling before.
In his past life, Lin Ye had heard that this place was quite stimulating.
At that time, Lin Ye didn’t understand what was so stimulating about a man’s private parts.
Now, after being sneakily touched by Sakura, Lin Ye felt uncomfortable all over.
Especially Sakura’s small hands.
Seeing Lin Ye’s reaction, Sakura burst out laughing.
Then she puffed out her small chest.
It was as if she was saying, “I touched yours, you touch mine too, then we’ll be even.” Lin Ye playfully patted Sakura’s forehead.
Then he put his arm around Sakura’s body, and Sakura rested her head on Lin Ye’s shoulder. Lin Ye’s hand happened to touch Sakura’s cat tail, and Lin Ye couldn’t help but reach out and play with it.
When Lin Ye grabbed Sakura’s tail, she went limp.
Lin Ye had always been curious about this peculiar trait of Beast-eared Girls.
Why did they go limp when their tails were grabbed? Wasn’t that a huge weakness?
Lin Ye released Sakura’s tail, then asked curiously.
“Sakura, why do you all lose all your strength when your tails are grabbed? Isn’t it easy for someone to capture you like that?” Sakura’s face had already turned rosy from the previous incident.
She replied softly, “Sakura doesn’t know either. But when others grab Sakura’s tail, it’s not as severe.” Hearing this, Lin Ye became even more curious.
Just as he was about to ask further, Sakura yawned, then leaned contentedly on Lin Ye’s shoulder and closed her eyes to sleep.
Seeing this, Lin Ye smiled, temporarily suppressed his curiosity, and also fell asleep.
The next morning, Lin Ye felt a strange sensation on his body.
He opened his eyes and saw that Sakura had already woken up at some point.
Lin Ye gently patted Sakura’s hand and sat up.
Lin Ye glared at Sakura, who didn’t realize she was playing with fire.
Sakura, however, grinned playfully at Lin Ye. Lin Ye reached out, intending to do unto her as she had done unto him.
But Sakura got up, smiled at Lin Ye, and then scampered out of the tent.
Lin Ye sat there and smiled helplessly, then put on his clothes and walked out of the tent.
As soon as he stepped out of the tent, he saw Susu and Shi standing outside. Lin Ye was a little surprised and froze for a moment.
Then, with an unnatural smile on his face, Lin Ye smiled at the two of them.
Susu and Shi saw Lin Ye come out and stepped forward to speak to him.
“Xing said that we haven’t brought back any new prey for several days. We’re going to check the traps today and also set up more. She asked if Ye wanted to go with us.” Lin Ye suddenly remembered that because of the Pig-headed Man, the tribe hadn’t gone hunting for several days, and they had been eating the dried meat they had saved.
At this moment, Sakura ran out from behind the tent and stood beside Lin Ye.
Lin Ye thought of how the water flow from the water pipe had decreased the night before, so he shook his head at Susu and Shi and said,
“I have a lot to do today, so I can’t go with you. Remember to bring the whistle arrows. If you encounter danger, climb a tree and shoot the whistle arrows. I’ll rush over to save you if I hear them.” The Beast-eared Girls’ archery skills were already amazing. Ordinary beasts would meet their end when encountering the Beast-eared Girls.
But just in case, Lin Ye still asked them to bring the whistle arrows.
Susu and Shi nodded with smiles after hearing Lin Ye’s words.
They were also very confident that they could catch prey even if Lin Ye didn’t go with them.
Then Susu and Shi turned and walked towards the cave.
Lin Ye reached out and petted Sakura’s head as she stood next to him.
Sakura raised her head, squinted her eyes comfortably, and said to Lin Ye,
“Ye, where are you going today? Sakura also wants to go with you.”
Lin Ye thought for a moment. He didn’t need to go out to fetch water now, and Sakura would be bored if she stayed in the tribe all the time. So he nodded at Sakura and said with a smile, “I’m going to check the water pipe by the river. Sakura, come with me too.” “Okay, okay! I haven’t been to the river in a long time!” Sakura jumped up and cheered happily upon hearing Lin Ye’s words. Then Lin Ye went to the water pipe again and found that the water flow had decreased even further compared to last night.
Lin Ye squatted down and scooped up some water to wash his face.
Sakura imitated Lin Ye, cupping water in her hands and splashing it on her face.
But she splashed it everywhere, getting Lin Ye all wet.
Lin Ye helplessly helped Sakura wash her face with his hands, and then they followed the water pipe towards the river.
Along the way, Lin Ye completed his daily sign-in.
As expected, it was another hundred points.
Sakura held Lin Ye’s hand, skipping and hopping along the way.
The two people walked for about an hour and finally reached the river.
However, upon arriving at the river, Lin Ye was stunned by the scene before him.
