Leisurely Farm Life in Beast World

"Father, we are back." The beast skin curtain of the tent was surprisingly down, which puzzled Meng Tai. It was incredibly hot at noon, and everyone would hang up the beast skin curtains to let the wind blow in. What was their father doing inside, under the beast skin curtain, in broad daylight?

Upon hearing his son’s voice, Meng Zhuo inside the tent even more excited: "Meng Tai is back, let’s ask him to come in later and ask for his opinion."

As he was speaking, Meng Tai lifted the beast skin curtain and walked in: "Father, Uncle, what are you doing? It’s so hot, why did you let the curtain down?"

As he spoke, he was about to hang the curtain up again, but was stopped by Meng Zhuo: "Don’t hang it up, come here, we have an important matter to discuss."

"What matter? I also have something to say to you."

Meng Zhuo waved his hand: "You listen to us first."

After that, two of them echoed each other, telling Meng Tai about Ji Nuan’s proposal.

Meng Tai looked at his father and uncle in a new light: "I’m surprised you could think of such a good idea. I was just about to say, we went out to deal with the Stinger Bugs in the forest, Xiu Yan led us to clean up most of them, but we discovered a very serious issue."

Seeing the grave expression on Meng Tai’s face, the eagerness in Meng Zhuo and Meng Luo to discuss the exchange cooled slightly: "What happened? You look so somber."

"The Stinger Bugs have caused too much damage, the prey in the forest have been drastically reduced. Many, many game animals have been killed by the Stinger Bugs. The game we could find today was really scarce because the animals have run away. If we want to hunt, I’m afraid we need to go beyond our territory." Meng Tai’s news was indeed disastrous.

"Beyond our territory!" Meng Luo turned to him: "Doesn’t that mean we can only return once every two days?"

Meng Tai gave a bitter smile: "That’s only if we can catch game. The problem right now is that we still don’t know what the situation is beyond our territory."

"This is all the Nacha Tribe’s fault. If it weren’t for them, our food supply would be almost ready by now. Because of the Stinger Bugs, not only did we fail to catch new game, we also wasted a lot dodging the Stinger Bugs. We must make them compensate." Meng Zhuo said hatefully, gritting his teeth.

Meng Tai nodded: "Indeed, for this exchange we’ll need to demand more to compensate for our tribe’s losses."

Then he looked at Meng Zhuo: "Father, I think after we have lunch, we can bring Nakula and the others here to discuss this matter. The sooner we get the food, the better."

Meng Zhuo nodded and agreed immediately: "Alright, after lunch, we’ll bring them here."

...

"So much!" Ji Nuan’s voice was full of amazement. Seeing her satisfied expression, Xiu Yan also felt a slight joy in his heart.

After cleaning up and putting on a fresh set of clothes, he walked up to Ji Nuan and wrapped her in his clean, crisp scent: "These should be enough for you to make a lot of Medicine Clay."

Feeling the familiar presence behind her, Ji Nuan relaxed and leaned into his broad chest: "Of course, the most important thing is that with those larvae, we can breed Stinger Bugs ourselves."
