Chapter 201: Chapter 201: The Joyous Day of Moving House
Ying knows what she wants to do; actually he also plans to give Youchao Xuan a hand.
"Qinghuan says whatever she says, we'll do; I'll send someone to scout the Youchao Tribe, and will notify us when we have news."
"Great, thank you, Ying."
Nan Qinghuan was very pleased; this rough man was becoming more reasonable, and she felt gratified.
Ying gave a mischievous grin, leaned close, deliberately nipped her little ear, his gaze scorching toward her plump front, and asked teasingly, "How does Qinghuan want to thank me?"
Nan Qinghuan: "……"
"Tonight I'll let you be on top."
That's simply blunt and crude.
Nan Qinghuan's face flushed; since she let him be a flesh cushion last time, the man seemed to enjoy it endlessly.
Oh my, she's committing sin herself.
"I…"
"Haha, Huaner is so cute, are we moving houses?"
Indeed, this auspicious day, the Tribe will move their families to a new home.
, this day is a very busy day for Ying Tribe members; everyone who split off returns to the Cave to prepare moving to a new home, and in an empty Tulou, when Axi woke up, she saw… "Qinghuan?"
Nan Qinghuan sat beside Axi, relieved to see her awake, "You scared me to death, I thought you'd sleep for days; get up quickly, are you hungry?"
It must be said, these primitives' Marriage custom is very rough; last night Axi was knocked out by Great Mountain and then brought to Great Mountain's new home, a house he just got, the clay house was empty, far better than the Cave; she intended to check on Axi, but she hadn't woken yet.
Seeing the bruises on her, she knew how intense last night had been.
Axi touched her belly, recalling last night, she grinned, "Hungry."
, Nan Qinghuan hurriedly brought her a bowl of corn porridge, "Drink some corn porridge to soothe your stomach."
"Qinghuan, what's this…"
"It's made from corn cake, try it."
"Mm."
It was a bowl of golden corn porridge; Axi had never seen it before. It must be said, Nan Qinghuan's corn porridge was truly delicious, fragrant and sweet. After finishing, Axi dressed herself, and Nan Qinghuan noticed that this ancient woman had no sense of shame, they could strip or dress in front of you.
Indeed, especially uninhibited primitive.
After dressing, Axi couldn't help but look around, "Qinghuan, where is this…"
"Silly girl, you're already someone's daughter‑in‑law and you still ask; this is Great Mountain's new home, and it will be your new home too."
"Great Mountain's home?"
Axi was delighted, ignoring the soreness, she toured everywhere, becoming more satisfied; indeed it was far better than the Cave.
"Qinghuan, this house is really comfortable to live in, there's wind too; I used to love feeling the breeze, but the Cave couldn't get any, only at the entrance, and even there many people had no space."
"Silly girl, from now on you can breeze however you like; this Tulou is high and won't get damp, I believe the eczema won't appear next year either."
Axi looked at her gratefully, "Qinghuan, thank you for coming; without you we wouldn't have…"
"Silly girl, why thank me? These things were all made by the Tribe; I did nothing. Hurry back to the Cave to pack your things; Great Mountain and the others will be back soon."
"Qinghuan, where did they go?"
"The Rainy Season has arrived; they went to check the Ditch's condition, heavy rain is coming, I also need to go back to tidy the house, Mother is still at home."
"Qinghuan, where does Youchao Xuan live?"
Axi liked Youchao Xuan quite a bit; this time getting a house, Youchao Xuan and his people helped a lot.
"Youchao Xuan?"
She recalled Youchao Xuan, hoping this Rainy Season she could give him a hand, letting him secure the Clan Leader position.
"He went home."
"Home? I thought he had no home."
"Silly girl, everyone has a home. Alright, you start packing, I'll go pick some wildflowers to decorate the house."
"I'll go too, I'll go with you."
That day, Nan Qinghuan and Axi gathered many wildflowers outdoors; those flowers were wild species Nan Qinghuan had never seen, ancient organisms without names. Afterwards, they decorated the earth house beautifully, inserting the flowers into ceramic pots placed on the floor; now the house had nothing, empty, even lacking a bed.
But that was no issue; there was a Tribe member skilled in carpentry, and later they'd have him craft simple furniture, gradually adding pieces one by one.
With furniture and a homely atmosphere, this became a complete home.
She was in the first house of the ancient times.
"Qinghuan, stay at home, Mother is going to fetch the stone pot."
"Mother, no need, I'll get it; you just rest, I'll cook dinner tonight."
After saying that, Nan Qinghuan turned and left; Mother watched her departing back, feeling gratified, never having imagined this day would come, living with her son and Qinghuan together, in such a fine house.
"Axi, if you bite Mother, is it a dream?"
Axi was arranging the flowers; hearing that, she covered her mouth and laughed, "Mother, don't worry, this isn't a dream; from now on we'll all live in this Tulou."
Mother was still worried, reaching out to touch the Tulou's wall; the earth she had watched being built wasn't as hard as stone.
"Rain is coming, will it leak?"
"Mother, don't worry; Qinghuan said it won't leak, otherwise why would we spend so much effort building a house?"
Here, the Tribe members are very interested in the Tulou, all studying the leakage issue; over there, Nan Qinghuan, with Gungun, prepares to return to the Cave to fetch things, Ying leads people to inspect the Ditch, and the task of carrying things she does herself, because Mother is old and she doesn't want Mother to be overburdened.
The Cave didn't hold much; only a stone pot and a few ceramic jars. Those items, worthless to modern eyes, were treasures to her. The wild wolf Mos and Gungun followed her as bodyguards; she placed the items in a basket, then tied the basket with rope, ready to carry them out.
She had never done these chores before, but now it was different; work must be done. She had already told Ying to inform the Tribe that after the split they must immediately divide land, no longer share food, each family will farm for self‑sufficiency, and Clan Leader Ying will no longer provide food for the Tribe.
No one can get something without labor.
Inside the Cave, while she was preparing to carry things back, suddenly the wild wolf Mos let out a warning howl, which instantly alerted Nan Qinghuan.
It seemed there was danger outside.
Gungun was usually very gentle, but suddenly let out a hoarse bark toward the outside, which made Nan Qinghuan even more nervous, "Who, who is outside?"
The air was tense, but outside it was empty and no one answered her; the tribe members had all moved into the Tulou, and the sky outside was already dark, which made her feel uneasy.
She mustered courage and shouted outward, "Stop playing tricks on me; if I catch you, I'll let a wild wolf eat you."
It was quiet, still no one, but the wild wolf Mos remained alert at the Cave Entrance.
Damn it!
She thought, "What kind of thing is that?" She hurriedly set the items down, drew the only Fruit Knife for self‑defense, and stepped out cautiously, one careful step at a time. Unexpectedly, she saw… With a swoosh, an unfamiliar animal darted out of the doorway and quickly vanished into the bushes.
It was getting dark and hard to see; she patted her chest and thought, "What was that thing?" It flashed by without being clear, but it must have been some animal.
She was certain she didn't recognize the animal; could there be other terrifying creatures in this Tribe? She couldn't help but look at Gungun and Mos, "You two are the old residents here; what kind of monster was that, and you both are too scared to approach?"
Mos and Gungun both looked helpless, staying behind her feet, even more frightened than she was.
Nan Qinghuan was speechless, "What a disappointment, let's go home."
On the path, leaves rustled; as she slowly walked toward the Tulou carrying a basket, footsteps came from not far away, and immediately, the leading Ying saw her carrying something, his heart tightened and he shouted, "Qinghuan."
Ying then rushed up to help her take the basket off her back, a look of concern flashing in his eyes, "Who told you to do the work?"
