Five cubs clung to her; the wicked woman was being targeted.

Niu Kou Shui tiptoed into the cave and then carefully got into bed.

Looking at the dark corner, I decided to make a nest for the babies tomorrow and just make do for today.

Niu Kou Shui fell into a deep sleep after lying on the stone bed. She even had a dream in which she returned to the night of the apocalypse. She was alone and helpless, fighting against zombies and monsters until she was exhausted. When she collapsed, she felt relieved.

The five little ones in the corner opened their eyes after lying down in Niu Kou Shui. Their mother hadn't come back yet, and they couldn't fall asleep. The five little ones looked at each other.

Although I didn't say anything, I fell asleep peacefully.

Early morning~

Niu Kou Shui had just rubbed his eyes and opened them when the five little ones stood by the bed with their big, bright eyes wide open.

"What's wrong, little ones? Are you hungry?"

"Mother, we're not hungry. Father gave us meat," Mitian said, shaking her head.

"Mother, what are we doing today?" Feng Qing asked. This female had said yesterday that she would do parent-child activities with them every day. If she broke her promise on the first day, he would never believe her again.

The five little ones looked at the cow with a hint of anticipation, their mouths watering. The little ones in the tribe usually had their mothers to play with, but their mothers had never been with them before.

"Don't worry, your mother will get you started on chores soon!"

Niu Kou Shui got up, ready to go out of the cave to see if they had dealt with the big owl from yesterday.

"Honey? You didn't go hunting today?"

Upon exiting the cave, one could see the honeycomb at the cave entrance, where he was holding an animal hide and doing something.

"My lady... I'm not going out today. I'll stay home with you. If you need anything, just call me."

Niu Kou Shui suddenly remembered that before she went to bed, Niu Kou Shui had requested that one person stay at home every day to listen to her instructions, while the others went out hunting.

Now that the cow saliva is cured, it seems this rule will be implemented again.

Niu Kou Shui nodded, thinking it was pretty good.

"Then help me pluck the owl's feathers. I'll keep the feathers for myself."

"Yes, Mistress."

"What are you making in your hands?"

"These... these are animal skin shoes made for the female master. I've seen all the females in the tribe wearing these. You said last night that they were uncomfortable on your feet. Please take a look and see if these fit."

Looking at the burly, honest-looking Mi Jin in front of him, Niu Kou Shui suddenly felt a bit of a contrast; this rough-looking guy was actually so considerate.

Niu Kou Shui didn't say anything, she just stretched out her foot. She had cleaned the soles of her feet when she came back last night, otherwise she felt they would be dirty before going to bed.

Mijin picked up the shoes and put them on Niu Kou Shui's feet. Niu Kou Shui was quite satisfied with her clumsy attempt!

I never dared to dream of such treatment before; the benefits here are really good.

"Hmm~ Great, they fit perfectly! Mitsuzu, you're amazing!"

As a reward, Niu drooled and leaned down to kiss Mijin on the face.

Mijin's face instantly flushed, her already somewhat dark skin turning even darker.

"Mistress... Mistress, if you like it, I'll take care of this." Mizuki picked up the owl and headed for the riverbank, as if she were fleeing, which made Niu Kou drool with amusement.

Coming to her senses, she noticed the five little ones staring at her. It seems that repairing the house is still very important; giving each child a room is necessary, as such inappropriate scenes are not suitable for children to watch.

Niu Kou Shui then led the five little ones out to cut grass. It was a very long kind of grass, not too rough, and when dried, it would make a grass nest. Even if it wasn't completely dry, it would still do; the orcs weren't that demanding.

Niu Kou Shui picked up a dagger and started cutting grass. The five little ones watched from the side, not knowing what to do. Mi Tian even tried to bite it with her teeth.

"My children, you don't need to do anything. Your mother will cut the grass. You can come with your mother to carry the grass back later."

"Mom, we want to help too." The five little ones really wanted to work with their mother and didn't want to just watch from the sidelines.

Jin Xuan was the first to show his mother that he could also cut grass, and that it was very sharp. Only then did the other four little ones realize that they could also help by simply showing their claws.

Except for... Moonfall, Moonfall looked at its own tentacles, soft and bouncy.

"It's alright, little Moonfall. Do you want to go collect some snails?"

These tall grasses grow right by the stream, and Gangniu even saw a lot of snails, though nobody eats them. Since Yuezhui loves playing in the water, she can catch them and play with them.

"Mother, what is a snail?"

"This is it, little Yuezhui. If you catch this, your mother will make snails for everyone tonight." Niu Kou Shui picked up a snail from the side of his feet and showed it to Yuezhui.

"Mom, can we eat this?" Mi Tian asked, picking up a snail with some curiosity.

"My little ones, you can eat this. Mommy will make it for you tonight."

"Yay!" The five little ones were all excited, and Yuezhui happily went into the water to catch snails.

It feels so good to have my mother around!

After Niu Kou Shui cut half of the tall grass in this area, Yue Zhui also scooped up a lot of snails and piled them up to the side.

After picking and choosing, Niu Kou Shui tied five small bundles of grass for the five little ones, and then carried three large bundles for himself.

"Come on, kids, one bundle each, let's go home."

The five little ones excitedly picked up their own share of grass, each with something to do, feeling fulfilled and satisfied.

"Mother, where are the snails?" Yuezhui asked cautiously. Did her mother not want the snails she had caught?

"Good boy, let's carry the grass back first, then Mommy will come back for the snails. Otherwise, we won't be able to carry all this stuff."

"Okay!"

It turns out it wasn't that I didn't want the snails, it was that I couldn't pick them up!

The five little ones happily followed their mother back home. Although Niu Kou Shui was carrying three large bundles of grass, it wasn't strenuous at all.

Just as they finished putting it down, Mijin came back from the river. He saw the grass on Niukoushui's back and immediately ran over.

"Let me do it, mistress. Why do you need so much grass?" He secretly thought to himself that the mistress was different. She was actually willing to carry the grass herself. In the past, they always did everything for her.

"It's nothing, it's very light. It's good that you're back. Could you help me spread these vegetables on the stones to dry in the sun? I'll make a little nest for the children this afternoon."

"Oh... okay," Mizuki scratched her head and agreed, then took the grass handed to her by the five little ones.

"Alright, kids, you all go and dry the grass with your father, Mijin. Your mother will go and get the snails."

Before Mijin could ask any more questions, Niu Kou Shui turned and ran away. If she didn't run faster, the five little ones would have to come with her later. She could handle this little thing herself.

Niu Kou Shui found two large leaves nearby, wrapped the snails in them, and then carried them back home.

"I didn't expect Yuezhui Xiaobao to have caught so many snails. What a capable little Bao!" Niu Kou Shui sighed silently.

"Cow...cow saliva?"

They encountered a witch doctor running towards them.

"Witch doctor? What's wrong?" Why is he here? People from ordinary tribes don't usually come here. Is the witch doctor up to something bad?

"I came here to find some herbs, haha, my stomach's been a bit upset lately." The witch doctor chuckled awkwardly, then hurriedly searched for herbs on the ground.

For the past two days, she and her little female baby have been experiencing stomach aches. She's fine, but her little baby is in serious condition; such a tiny baby could die from constant stomach pain.

"Then I'll head back now, you can continue searching."

Niu Kou Shui roughly knew the reason; that little bit of laxative would only cause diarrhea for two days at most, which was too good for them.

The witch doctor glanced at the snails wrapped in the leaves of the cow saliva plant. Those things were so tough and had so little meat that they wouldn't taste good. It seemed that the beastmen of the cow saliva plant really wouldn't give her any to eat.

For some reason, she was a little happy to see Niu Kou Shui living such a miserable life. She thought it would be better if Niu Kou Shui starved to death sooner rather than occupying such a big cave.

Moreover, Niu Kou Shui is essentially a vicious female; everyone in the tribe knows that she obtained her beast husband through dirty means.

Moreover, all the beastmen she's acquired are so handsome; Niu Kou Shui is no match for them. They should all be her female cubs' guardian beasts.

She had just started chuckling when her stomach rumbled loudly. Her face changed, and she clutched her stomach as she ran back...
