When Leng Ran arrived, he saw Xie Yungui washing animal hides.

"Agui, why didn't you sleep a little longer? Why did you get up so early?" Leng Ran suddenly spoke, startling Xie Yungui.

"Don't you make any noise when you walk? You startled me." Xie Yungui had dreamt about him last night, and his animal skin pants were dirty, which made her feel very awkward.

Now that I've seen the person in question, I feel even more embarrassed and awkward.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention," Leng Ran said with a smile.

Xie Yungui realized he had been a bit unreasonable: "It's nothing, I was just thinking about something. You suddenly spoke up and startled me. By the way, why did you come to see me so early? Is something the matter?"

"This is for you and the kids. I picked it from the tree last night. There weren't many, so I'm saving it for you and the kids." Leng Ran handed the small basket in his hand to Xie Yungui.

Inside were five or six fist-sized fruits, which Xie Yungui particularly liked because they were large cherries.

However, this fruit did not grow around their tribe. He first ate it when Leng Ran brought it back, saying that it grew on cliffs and that it did not produce many fruits.

They brought back a few more this time, which shows how small the production volume is.

"Thank you, Leng Ran, I really like this fruit." Xie Yungui said, taking the fruit and then placing two in Leng Ran's hands: "You eat these two, and the kids and I will each have one!"

"No need!" Leng Ran knew Xie Yungui liked it because the last time Xie Yungui received this fruit, the light in his eyes was irresistible.

However, the yield of this fruit is too small, so he often goes to check on it, afraid of missing the ripening time.

"Take it, there's no way we'd eat it all by ourselves."

"Then I'll just have one. Here, you can have this one." Leng Ran handed one to Xie Yungui.

"Okay!" Xie Yungui didn't stand on ceremony, put it in the basket and took it back to the house.

There were very few fruits, not enough for all the children in the tribe, so Xie Yungui didn't plan to share them. He would wait for the children to wake up and then eat them.

When he came out, he saw Leng Ran washing his clothes that he hadn't finished washing.

Xie Yungui froze. Those animal skin pants and clothes, which were stained last night, made his face turn bright red. He quickly went over and said, "I'll do it, I'll do it! You just stay over there. How can I let you wash my clothes?"

"Agui, it's alright. The water is still quite cold this morning. You've worked so hard taking care of the two kids. I'm their father, and I can't help them at all, but I'll help you with this." Leng Ran said very seriously.

Xie Yungui was instantly speechless; it didn't seem right either.

And so, Leng Ran finished washing Xie Yungui's clothes before going hunting.

Xie Yungui had also finished tidying up and used the small stone pot to make some complementary food for the children: minced meat paste.

Xie Chuyang's appetite has increased; he can now eat a bowl of porridge, while the little black snake's appetite is still very small; it can only eat a tiny bit.

The tribe members all knew how much the little black snake ate, so Xie Yungui always prepared a special meal for the children for breakfast, and no one said anything.

However, the orcs of the tribe only eat one meal a day.

At noon, they usually ate bone soup from the game they had hunted. After each game was butchered, Xie Yungui would put the bones and the like into a large stone pot to boil. The next morning, the bone soup would have turned milky white.

At noon, the females would gather some vegetables, cook them, and then everyone would simply eat a bite.

Usually around two or three in the afternoon, the hunting beastmen would return, and then they would cook a nice meal to reward themselves.

It's not that we can't afford two meals a day, but that we don't have the manpower to cook. However, everyone has gotten used to it because the bone broth at noon is also very delicious, and the wild vegetables in it are watercress, which is the tribe's favorite food.

After the two children had eaten their fill, Xie Yungui gave them a piece of fruit before taking them out.

"Xiao An, Chu Yang, you two stay home and behave yourselves. Daddy is going out to find some wild vegetables."

"Okay, Daddy, we'll be good!" The weather is sunny now, so there's no need to worry about the little black snake being washed away by the water.

Moreover, the kids enjoy playing with other children, so Xie Yungui isn't worried.

"Amao, Ameng, go and collect the remaining cotton this time."

"Understood, Chieftain, we'll go pick them now."

Afterwards, Xie Yungui led Afeng, Aming, and several orcs to gather resources.

Actually, they just went out to see if there were any tender wild vegetables, and if so, they would pick them and bring them back.

As for dried vegetables, they have prepared quite a lot. They also picked a lot of tea tree mushrooms, which can be eaten during the snowy season.

"Chief Agui, look how big this mushroom is!" Amin looked at the big mushroom with great curiosity.

The rainy season has just ended, so it's normal for mushrooms to grow now.

When Xie Yungui took a look, he exclaimed, "Wow, this mushroom is bigger than a large bathtub!" Upon closer inspection, he immediately recognized what kind of mushroom it was.

This mushroom is called puffball, but people prefer to call it puffball or dung ball.

He could eat, but Xie Yungui wasn't planning to. It was so big, he was a little intimidated by it, so he decided against eating it.

"They are very big, not poisonous, and can be stir-fried, but we don't lack food now, so we won't eat mushrooms."

"Okay." Whatever the clan leader says goes; listening to him is the right thing to do.

The group continued walking, and along the way, they found mushrooms the most.

"Wow, this mushroom smells so good!" Ah Feng saw another fragrant mushroom.

Xie Yungui glanced at it, and just that one glance was enough to stop him from moving.

This mushroom is a delicacy because it is a matsutake mushroom, as big as a fist, and it hasn't fully grown yet. It's the best of the best.

"This is edible. Pick it and stew it; it'll taste delicious." Xie Yungui had barely finished speaking when he saw Boletus luridus, Laminaria japonica, Russula ovata, and other mushrooms nearby.

He was numb. These mushrooms were all very delicious. Although some were poisonous, they were harmless if cooked properly.

In the end, he chose matsutake mushrooms. However, he couldn't resist patting the caps of the mushrooms and then crushing them like a child. Xie Yungui himself felt that he had been too impulsive.

Afterwards, he discovered wood ear mushrooms and white ginseng fungus. Following Xie Yungui's instructions, the group picked quite a lot. That day, they were so focused on picking mushrooms that they didn't pay attention to anything else.

When they got home, Leng Ran was holding Xie Chuyang in his arms and Leng Yi'an wrapped around his neck, playing with them in the yard.

Leng Yi'an was overjoyed to see Xie Yungui enter the courtyard: "Dad, you're back!"

"Yes, you're back. Were you a good girl today?"

"We're very well-behaved!"

"Dad, tonight, Father is sleeping with us. He said he doesn't snore, so he wants to sleep with us!"

Xie Yungui: "...(Damn it)" The boomerang came back and stabbed him! This kid is no good.
