After Xie Yungui came to terms with it, he felt relieved. He had become a father without much pain. He then carefully placed the egg in its place and covered it with animal hide: "Chuyang, don't move it. This is your little brother, understand?"
Xie Chuyang nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
Xie Yungui went outside and saw bloodstains on his animal skin skirt. He immediately understood what had happened.
After fetching some water, washing and tidying himself up, he took some grass and wove a small basket, then lined it with some straw and other materials.
After preparing everything, they went into the cave, lined the grass with animal hide, put the eggs inside, and covered them with animal hide again. The simple nest was now complete.
Xie Yungui made minced meat porridge for Xie Chuyang, ate a little himself, and then continued to rest.
As Xie Yungui lay in bed that night, she pondered what kind of name she should give her child.
"system!"
"Master, I'm here!"
"Are you sure my son is a little beastman and not a little female?"
"Host, yes, the little female was born in human form, so your offspring is a beastman!"
"Understood, you may leave!"
Since we're orcs, let's give it a majestic and imposing name.
Xie Yungui thought about it for a long time but couldn't think of anything suitable. Oh well, let's talk about it later.
The next day, Xie Chuyang was going out hunting, but he didn't dare leave his two cubs at home. What if an animal came and ate them?
For example, a snake, but not a snake-beastman, but a snake that has not developed intelligence, capable of swallowing two offspring in one gulp.
But what if he takes it hunting and crushes or breaks the eggs? Then he won't have a son.
Finally, Xie Yungui came up with a solution. He carried Xie Chuyang on his back, placed the egg in a sturdy nut shell, and lined it with soft animal hides. He then had Xie Chuyang hold the egg in his arms so it wouldn't get damaged.
Not hunting is not an option, after all, they have no food. It is the beginning of the Golden Fruit Season, the season with the most abundant food, so they need to store food so that they will not go hungry during the snow season.
"System, can you check if there are any edible things like potatoes in this area?" Xie Yungui asked.
"Host, please wait a moment while I scan you. My scanning range is within ten kilometers."
"Yes, thank you for your trouble." Xie Yungui was unusually polite.
A short while later, the system sent a message: "Host, no potatoes were found, but I think I found rice, however, it's a bit mutated because they are too tall."
"It's alright, I'll go take a look." Xie Yungui said, and headed in the direction the system indicated.
Today, he hunted a pheasant the size of an ostrich. Because it was so big, he carried it home first before going to find the rice.
Xie Yungui carried a large basket on his back and headed towards his destination.
After walking for about an hour, we finally arrived at our destination.
He looked at the plant in front of him, swallowed hard—partly because he was craving it, and partly because he was scared.
This is way too tall!
Whose good rice grows as tall as sugarcane? Whose good rice has grains as big as grapes?
But this is rice, he recognizes it, and the system won't make a mistake; it's just a giant version.
As for how it tastes, he doesn't know, since he's never tried it before.
He forcefully broke off a stalk, then cut it off with a bone knife. Such a large bunch of rice was truly an eye-opener; it really was as big as a bunch of Sunshine Rose rice.
Xie Yungui picked quite a lot, then carried a large basket full on his back back. In the animal skin bag on his chest were his two sons, although one of them had not yet hatched.
Xie Yungui was very strong. He carried a large basket of rice on his back and two large bundles of rice. In terms of weight, it was at least 200 jin (100 kg), but he did not feel the weight at all.
Because his powerful strength skill came into play at this moment.
"Awoo, awoo!" Xie Chuyang greeted his father as he listened to his heartbeat.
"What are you yelling about?" Xie Yungui asked with a smile.
"Awoo?" Xie Chuyang couldn't speak.
The two of them returned home amidst their back-and-forth banter.
After Xie Yungui returned home, he peeled the rice grains out of their husks one by one.
He looked at the grains of rice, each the size of a grape, glistening and translucent; they were definitely rice.
It was just a bit big. He took the stone, broke it a little, washed it clean, and put it into the stone pot to cook.
The pheasant he caught today hasn't been processed yet; he's going to skin it directly because it has too many feathers and is too big, so scalding it with boiling water isn't practical.
The stone pot is small, the pheasant is large, and it needs too much water, so it's easiest to just skin and process it directly.
Xie Yungui didn't want the internal organs because he didn't know if there would be any parasites or anything like that. Right now, they weren't short of meat, so he tried to feed the wolf cubs as much fresh meat as possible.
"Son, would you like stewed chicken or roasted chicken?" Xie Yungui asked.
"Awoo awoo!" Xie Chuyang could only howl.
"Forget it, I won't get any answers from you anyway. You should just keep eating your chicken porridge."
After Xie Yungui finished speaking, he chopped up the chicken breast, then ground up the rice and put it into the stone pot to cook. This was food for the little wolf cub. The little wolf cub had never eaten raw meat before, so he always fed him cooked meat.
Occasionally, he would be given a few sips of beast blood, because beast blood is a great tonic for orcs.
Actually, when there is a lack of salt, it is possible to consume animal blood. However, his body is female, and females cannot drink animal blood. Drinking animal blood will make them feel uncomfortable, as females are not as strong as beastmen.
However, for both small orcs and orcs, beast blood is the most nourishing thing.
Therefore, Xie Yungui would basically give the wolf cubs a few mouthfuls of blood after hunting them, which made the cubs chubby and as cute as a husky puppy on Earth.
The rice was cooked and released its unique aroma, which almost made Xie Yungui drool.
This is the food Xie Yungui has been longing for.
Tonight, Xie Yungui grilled some chicken and stir-fried some water celery, which was his most sumptuous meal yet.
He ladled out the cooked chicken porridge to cool, then served it to Xie Chuyang, while he himself ate rice with meat and vegetables.
It's so delicious! The slight bitterness from the salt is negligible. This rice is just as good as modern rice, and the texture is excellent.
A while ago, he ate kudzu root powder, but it's not as good as this rice.
After eating and drinking his fill, Xie Yungui remembered the egg he had left on the bed.
He went inside, looked around, and the eggs were still the same.
He asked the system, and it said that the egg would hatch in a month, so it was still a long way off.
