Chapter 114 Pinching Ears
Chapter 114 Pinching Ears
Those who gather resources stay in the tribe to farm. The vegetation has only recently begun to sprout green leaves, and there isn't much food to gather yet, just some wild vegetables. Since the tribe has plenty of food, these wild vegetables are not essential, and the tribe members don't need to go out to gather resources for long periods of time.
Each family in the tribe had to send one person to plant cassava in the tribe's communal fields. Bai Ling went to plant cassava in the tribe's communal fields, while her own family's fields were planted by her father, younger brother, and uncle.
Last winter, it snowed heavily, and the fields were still wet. Bai Ling simply took off her shoes and worked barefoot in the fields.
Many beastmen, like Bai Ling, work barefoot. The plowed fields are moist and soft, and it feels very comfortable to walk barefoot on the soil.
One of the tribesmen was in charge of digging holes with a hoe, while Bai Ling was in charge of planting cassava. The beastmen learn things very quickly, and now the tribesmen can plant cassava quite well.
Besides cassava, Bailing has many other crops to grow, including grains and a variety of melons and vegetables.
We need to plant pumpkins, winter melons, leafy greens, celery, and several other vegetables. This year he also plans to build a house, which will require storing various building materials, making it inconvenient to plant vegetables around the yard. Once the house is built, the vegetables can be planted around it.
Then we won't need to come to the field to pick vegetables anymore. We can take care of the vegetable garden by spending a little time in the morning and evening.
Bai Ling planted cassava in the clan's public land for four days, and then Chen came to relieve him.
The cassava at home has all been planted, so it's time to plant wheat, sorghum, soybeans, mung beans, sesame, and other crops. None of the family members dare to plant those, so Bai Ling has to lead them.
Bai Ling first planted sorghum. Sorghum is an easy crop to grow, and Bai Ling had a lot of sorghum seeds, so he wanted to practice on it first.
Bai Ling's uncle, Lin, used a hoe to dig a shallow trench in the field, and Bai Ling sowed sorghum seeds behind him, while Feng buried the soil at the very back.
This is the simplest way to farm. This is the first year of farming, so let's use this method for now. When he has time this year, he will make a seed drill, which will save a lot of effort and increase efficiency.

The hunting party returned on the fifteenth day. This time they had been away for a longer period of time, which was unavoidable, as they had gone to the former territory of the Yuanhu tribe.
The orcs of the Round Lake Tribe now live in the High Tree Tribe, and they are now part of the High Tree Tribe. Therefore, the territory of the Round Lake Tribe is naturally the territory of the High Tree Tribe.
It would take more than two days to travel from Gaoshu Tribe to Yuanhu Tribe in beast form. They also needed to patrol the original territory of Yuanhu Tribe, which took up a lot of time.
When the hunting team returned, Bai Ling was busy building a brick kiln. The family's fields had all been planted, and Bai Ling had finished molting. The family's shed fur was collected in animal form.
Not only Bai Ling's family, but many of their clansmen also followed Bai Ling's example, collecting the fallen hairs, soaking them in water for a day and a night, washing them clean with soap, drying them, and then carefully storing them away.
They had all heard Bai Ling say that the fallen hairs were very useful, and although they didn't know exactly what they were used for, it was always good to collect them in advance.
Upon hearing that the hunting team had returned, Bai Ling immediately stopped what she was doing. Instead of going to meet the hunting team, she ran up the low hill first.
He ran into the cave where he kept his things and found a clean robe.
Feng was also searching for something in the cave when he saw his son rush in, grab a new robe, and hurry out. He asked, "Ling, what are you doing?"
“Father, the hunting party is back,” Bai Ling said. “Are you going to meet him?”
Feng knew what his son wanted to do, and he smiled and said, "Well, I'll go in a bit. Ling, would you like to change into a clean robe?"
The son was in such a hurry because he wanted to see his sweetheart. Come to think of it, Ling and Yue hadn't been apart for so long since they met, so it was no exception for the son to appear clean and presentable in front of Yue.
Feng, feeling playful, walked over and pulled out a piece of jewelry from a basket: "Ling, do you want to wear this too? I'll comb your hair, it'll definitely make you look even better."
Bai Ling's face flushed slightly: "Father, please stop joking with me. I'm leaving now."
While Yue went out hunting, he dressed up at home like a peacock displaying its feathers. Even if Yue didn't say anything, she must have felt uncomfortable.
He just needs to go to see Yue cleanly and neatly.
Feng laughed and said, "Okay, then you go ahead. I'll come over after I've tidied up here."

The hunting party brought back a lot of prey. Since the snow, the beastmen had not gone to the Yuanhu tribe, meaning they had not hunted for the entire winter. As a result, there were more wild animals in the Yuanhu tribe than in previous years.
Yue walked at the front, carrying several baskets on its back filled with processed game. The tribespeople were unloading the baskets from its back.
Bai Ling rushed down the low hill and ran to Yue.
Yue is now in beast form. It is tall and strong with smooth fur, two slightly pointed ears that stand up, and a cute expression on its furry face.
Bai Ling ran to Yue, her eyes brimming with joy: "Yue."
The moon's beast form was larger than Bai Ling's human form. It blinked its icy blue eyes, then gently lowered its head and touched Bai Ling's shoulder with its head.
Yue's breath hit Bai Ling's neck, causing that area of Bai Ling's skin to tremble.
Bai Ling reached out and slowly touched Yue's head. As if sensing Bai Ling's thoughts, Yue lowered her big head even further.
Bai Ling did what he had always wanted to do: he gently pinched Yue's ear.
The moon's ears are covered in fine downy hairs, and you can feel its body temperature just by touching them.
It's warm and smooth, like squeezing warm slime; the feel is absolutely wonderful.
Bai Ling couldn't help but pinch it again.
The tribespeople who were responsible for unloading the basket from Yue's back had long since left, and now everyone in the tribe knows that Yue and Ling are a couple.
One was a brave and powerful beauty, the other a tribal star skilled in many things; countless single young males and females had their eyes on them before. Although Ling and Yue hadn't explicitly stated it, it was obvious to everyone that they were already a couple, and there was no room for anyone else between them. That's why no males or females pursued them.
*
The moon emerged from behind a rock, already in human form. Even in human form, the moon's face remained rosy.
"Ling, you're not allowed to pinch my ears anymore," Yue said to Bai Ling.
