I transmigrated into a beast world, hated by everyone, and was eaten by a shameless snake.

Xie Yungui was a little embarrassed, so he squatted down and hugged the little black snake to his arms: "Son, look, this is rain."

"Dad, isn't this water?" The little black snake asked, tilting its triangular head to look at its father.

"Rain is water, they are all water." Xie Yungui looked at the rain as if the sky had broken.

"Dad, how long is this rain going to last?" Xie Chuyang also woke up. He squatted down by the door and looked at the heavy rain outside.

He doesn't like rain. Everything is wet, and he can't go out to play. The rain is so heavy that his fur will get soaked in no time, and that feels terrible.

"I need it for next month," Leng Ran replied.

Xie Yungui couldn't imagine how damp it would be if it rained this heavily for a whole month. It might even leak.

"Ah Gui, thank goodness we have a house now, otherwise the rainy season would be unbearable again."

"Leng Ran, how did you guys get through the rainy and snowy seasons in the past?" Xie Yungui asked curiously.

"We all spent our time together in caves, finding a big cave and hiding inside."

"Understood!"

"Agui, I'll go check around the tribe first. In this rainy season, if the prey has nowhere to hide, they'll break into the orcs' settlements."

"Okay, be careful!"

"Okay, I understand!"

After Leng Ran left, Xie Yungui tidied up, put on a raincoat and a hat made of bamboo shoots, put his two sons in the small basket he usually carried on his back, held them in his arms, and walked out of the house toward the tribe's dining hall.

Xie Yungui had already sighed several times in just one morning that he was thankful that the house had been built, otherwise he would have really suffered.

"Chieftain, you've arrived!" A'duo was already washing rice, while A'feng and the others were chopping vegetables nearby.

"Hmm, how are the kids doing?"

"Everything's fine, and they're not causing any trouble!"

"Dad, take us to play with A-Tian and the others!" Leng Yi-An's voice came from inside the basket.

"Okay, I'll take you there right away!"

The children's dormitory consisted of two large rooms, much like a modern dormitory, except that there were two long kang beds inside.

When it was built, we thought it would be used in the future, but we never expected it to be used now.

The little rabbit beastmen sleep in one room, and the little females sleep in another. However, the females' living quarters are more spacious because there are far fewer little females than little beastmen.

The little rabbit beastmen got along well with the tribe's cubs, but the cubs' dormitory was a bit crowded. There was nothing they could do about it, since so many cubs had suddenly appeared, and they could only squeeze in to sleep.

We can build the house next year; it's too late this year.

"You all stay here obediently and don't bite your friends, understand?" Xie Yungui always had to tell his little spicy strip this, because the little spicy strip was poisonous and he was afraid of accidentally hurting the other kids.

"I know, Dad. I always keep my teeth hidden. Father said that we snake-beastmen cannot hurt our own kind at will." After Leng Yi'an finished speaking, he opened his little black snake mouth for Xie Yungui to see.

"Sweetie, my little An is the cutest kid. Daddy's going to help with cooking now. Chuyang, keep an eye on your little brother."

"Okay, Dad, you can go now!"

Xie Yungui then ignored them and went to the tribe's canteen.

The tribe's dining hall was filled not only with females, but also with old beastmen.

They sat on the other side, weaving baskets and straw mats, chatting as they went.

The village's dining hall is actually the same kind of public building used for funerals in rural China, only this one is bigger and more spacious.

The roof is made of large tree leaves and thatch. Fortunately, it only rains here and there is no wind. Even if there is wind, it is not strong because there are mountains all around.

"Agui, look, what's this?" Leng Ran walked in, dragging a large fish in his hand, which must weigh at least a hundred pounds.

"How did you catch such a big fish?" Xie Yungui was truly stunned. It was so big and so long. If it were him, he would never have been able to catch it with his bare hands.

"It was stranded in the grass by the river. You said it was edible, so I picked it up!" Leng Ran said, revealing a set of white teeth, and water droplets fell down his eyebrows and eyes.

"It's edible, and it's delicious!" Xie Yungui actually really likes to eat fish, but he's been too busy lately to catch any in the river.

Before the Wangshan tribe came here, he would often catch fish to make soup for his children.

"Chief, this spiky beast doesn't taste good. It's fishy and smelly. Really, maybe we shouldn't eat it!" Ah Feng had tried to eat it once when he was starving, and it was awful. He really didn't want to try that taste again.

"You have to trust me, I'll show you what I can do in a bit!" Xie Yungui said, then thought for a moment and took Leng Ran to prepare the fish.

They couldn't deal with it in the yard, otherwise the smell would be too strong, so the two went to the riverbank.

However, the river is currently rising, so the fish can only be processed in the upstream areas that have not yet been flooded.

Xie Yungui took the bone knife and began to remove the scales. Leng Ran watched for a while and then learned how to do it: "Agui, let me do it. I should be able to handle it."

"Okay!" Xie Yungui did not refuse; it was good for the beastmen to learn some skills.

"Slow down, be careful not to cut your hand." Xie Yungui looked at the scales; each one was huge.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful."

After scaling the fish, Xie Yungui instructed Leng Ran on how to clean its internal organs: "Remove this black membrane, otherwise it will taste fishy."

"Ah Gui, you know so much, you're really amazing."

"Stop joking around, hurry up, the rain is getting heavier!"

Back at the cafeteria, Xie Yungui thought for a moment and decided that frying the fish would be the best way to eat it, even though he really wanted to drink soup.

But to be honest, with over three hundred offspring and females in the tribe, this hundred-odd pounds of fish is indeed a bit too little.

"Leng Ran, how about we go catch a couple more? This isn't enough to eat. We can save the fish for tonight," Xie Yungui suggested after thinking for a moment.

"Okay, I'll go catch it!"

"I'll go with you!"

Afterwards, the two went out again, with Xie Yungui carrying a large wooden bucket and following behind Leng Ran.

As the river level rose, many small fish were stranded in the grass or ditches along the riverbank. Xie Yungui was overjoyed to see the arm-length fish.

Leng Ran watched Xie Yungui catching small fish, but didn't ask any questions. He joined in, and soon the bucket was full.

"Leng Ran, I've decided. During this rainy season, we're going to catch fish, raise them, and then make them into dried fish so we can eat them during the snowy season."

"Agui, whatever you say, I'll do. I'll listen to you!" Leng Ran said, looking intently at Xie Yungui.
