Chapter 635: Beast Tribe World: Raising a Wife 09

~7 min read 1,309 words

But Jin Chen couldn't explain it quickly; after walking a short distance inside, he happened to pass by the stream where people came and went in the tribe, and saw a few acquaintances again.

The smiles on Jin Chen and Bai Mo's faces faded instantly.

Do these two protagonists have nothing to do all day? How do they keep running into each other?

Jin Chen felt helpless, while those two had already noticed this side.

Seeing the food in Jin Chen's basket, Tuoluote almost instinctively wanted to ask him for a few as usual, the words almost out of his mouth, before remembering that the two were no longer friends.

He reluctantly closed his mouth, always feeling as if the food he had just gotten had flown away.

On the contrary, Hua Wan.

He seemed to have forgotten the previous unpleasantness, walking over to Bai Mo familiarly, his eyes full of deep envy.

"Bai Mo, I apologize for what happened at noon."

"Just... never mind, I came just to apologize."

Bai Mo couldn't figure out what he was up to again, so he could only frown slightly and wait for him to finish speaking.

Who would have thought Hua Wan really only said that one sentence, attracting the attention of several Sub-Beast females to the west, and he returned to Tuoluote's side with a dejected expression.

Bai Mo: "……"

What exactly did he say.

"Wan, don't cry; Bai Mo ignoring you means he has a problem."

Tuoluote saw Hua Wan shedding tears, and still felt heartbroken.

Bai Mo looked blankly at Jin Chen and spread his hands.

"It's fine, don't mind them."

Jin Chen looked at them as if they were crazy, saying, "If you want to cry, go somewhere else, don't block the way."

He was naturally tall; smiling all day was fine, but now with a stern face he looked intimidating, and Hua Wan unconsciously stepped back two steps, her face turning even paler.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have cried, it's just that Bai Mo..."

Before she could finish, Jin Chen glared the words back at her.

After confirming this person wouldn't spout nonsense again, Jin Chen satisfiedly took his wife's hand and headed home.

Stay away from those two dim-witted protagonists!

"I must have not done enough; Bai Mo was bullied because of the curse, I couldn't protect him, I don't deserve to be his friend."

As he spoke, his tears flowed more fiercely.

A few females and Sub-Beasts watching the drama by the stream exchanged glances, then realized.

Jin Chen's bonded partner still has some kind of beast god's curse, doesn't he!

They began to whisper to each other.

Only after they got home did Jin Chen give him an explanation.

"Uncle Adir and I are very close; in the tribe everyone gets along well with him, so it would be strange if I suddenly understood these things."

Jin Chen hurriedly took the two baskets from Bai Mo's hands, placed them on the stone table, and rubbed his shoulders for him.

"Mo Mo, are you tired?"

"Not tired, it's not heavy."

Bai Mo roughly understood Jin Chen's meaning, but felt a bit embarrassed, saying, "But this knowledge is all taught by you."

"So what, why do we need to distinguish them so clearly?"

Jin Chen flicked his finger lightly against the tip of his nose, smiling indulgently, "Mo Mo is also very capable, learns instantly, much smarter than me!"

Bai Mo's learning ability truly exceeded Jin Chen's expectations, let alone that this knowledge surpasses his cognition.

He unconsciously began to think deeper, but ultimately had no clue.

He halved the brought-back food, placed it on the stone slab to prepare for dinner, and the remaining meat was still kept in the stone cave covered with cold grass.

Then came the drying and sorting of herbs; Bai Mo did these tasks in an orderly manner, the two cooperated with perfect tacit understanding, adorning the home they would live in for a long time to become ever more substantial and beautiful.

"Brother, why don't you put these free-range chickens in?"

Bai Mo took the mint leaves to the sunny wasteland to dry, and upon returning saw Jin Chen binding the legs of those free-range chickens with vines.

Here wild chickens and ducks are collectively called free-range chickens; Jin Chen accepted this readily, he waved at Bai Mo and said, "Because we want them to lay eggs and breed new chicks."

Bai Mo understood this; they often went to knock bird eggs to eat, but using them for breeding?

"If we want to eat them, why not just catch them in the forest?"

"When severe winter comes, we can't go out, and stockpiling too much food still isn't tasty."

Jin Chen finished marking the vines and let those few wild chickens roam around the yard.

"When these offspring grow up, we'll have plenty of live food; we can slaughter them whenever we want to eat."

"So we still need some other food."

However, Jin Chen didn't elaborate further, planning to explain together when he gives the book to Bai Mo tomorrow.

Bai Mo nodded half-understanding, remembering that some of the brought-back food could be used for breeding.

"But what do they eat?"

Jin Chen hissed, this he hadn't thought of yet.

Wild chickens growing in the forest naturally eat wild grass, plant seeds, insects, etc., but these are clearly unsuitable for mass feeding of domesticated poultry.

Crops like corn and sweet potatoes are easiest to plant on a large scale; it might as well be to plant some in the yard.

Corn and sweet potatoes stored are excellent for them to eat; even in severe winter there would be no shortage of food.

【Hey! Corn seeds and sweet potato seedlings on limited sale! Each only needs 100 points to obtain!】

Earned it, earned it! 0731 got excited.

Jin Chen: "……"

Your reaction is pretty quick.

This is for your own good, Host! When winter arrives and heavy snow blocks the mountain, leaving nothing to eat, what will we do?

Let's redeem it.

All right! 200 points have been deducted!

Bai Mo was still staring at the free-range chicken, lost in thought, when he saw Jin Chen turn and head back to the cave, pulling out two bags of corn seeds.

They're called seeds, but they're actually corn kernels—large and plump, shining bright gold.

Bai Mo let out an surprised 'eh' and said, 'I've seen this before.'

He met Jin Chen's slightly surprised gaze and explained, 'It's not from around here; it's from those tribes in the western forest. A friend of Amu brought some over before.'

This is good, but it's scarce and prone to insects.

The forest near them lies to the east, separated from the west by a black forest. If they don't want to go straight through the black forest, they must take a detour that usually lasts over three months, so the two sides rarely interact.

Jin Chen nodded in understanding, and also listened as Bai Mo spoke about the bugs and the holes.

Those are aphids; if you don't drive them away, they'll eat the corn.

I'll leave this to Mo Mo to handle; once you learn herbal knowledge, driving away bugs will be easy for you.

So that's how it is.

Seeing Jin Chen trust him so much, Bai Mo lifted his lips in a bright, radiant smile.

I'll work hard!

Good, I believe in you.

Jin Chen pulled him into an embrace, planting a kiss on his forehead.

Bai Mo tiptoed and could only rest against Jin Chen's neck, gently rubbing; his heart was full of joy—needless to say.

He thought again, quietly turned his head, and gently signaled for Jin Chen to squat a little lower.

Then he also planted a kiss on his face; the feeling was soft and fleeting.
