These guys, seriously, the moment I want to cry, they get all worried and anxious.
She really doesn't have anything to cry about.
"As long as you don't cry, everything will be fine," Cheng Mo said.
"Yes, crying is bad for your health, especially now that you're pregnant. You need to keep your mood happy!" Bai Di added.
"Mm-hmm, don't worry, I remember!" Si Lu said.
Look at that!
The moment I want to cry, they all act like they're the ones about to cry, all anxious and concerned.
I really don't get it, I should be the one crying, but they look like it's them who need comforting.
Such adorable people!
"I appreciate your kindness, haha!" Si Lu laughed.
She then put all the clothes Black Yao made for her into her space, followed by the shoes and socks Cheng Mo made. Of course, she kept one pair of shoes out and Cheng Mo helped her put them on.
Perfect!
They look so good!
The shoes are made of animal skin, a light brown color, like little ankle boots. They're really beautiful!
"They really look great, Amo. When winter comes, make me a few more pairs like this, but longer, to cover the knees. It'll protect the legs below the knees!"
"Of course, but they can't be too long, or they'll be too stiff and uncomfortable!" Si Lu replied.
She thought about it, if she hadn't mentioned it, Cheng Mo might have made knee-high boots all the way up to her thighs. That thought was a bit scary!
So, she had to remind him.
"Mm-hmm, okay, tell me whatever you want, I'll make it for you!" Cheng Mo smiled and patted Si Lu's head.
"I'll make some too!" Bai Di immediately chimed in.
"I will too!" Black Yao's lips curled into a gentle smile.
On the side, Big Tiger immediately lost his spirit.
"I... I don't know how to make them, but I can learn!" Song Zhan immediately raised his head and said firmly.
Yes, he didn't know, but he could learn.
They all knew how to do it, but he felt like a failure for not knowing.
"It's okay, A Zhan, everyone has their own strengths. You're good at hunting, and we all have our unique talents. Not everyone, not all beastmen, are the same, you know?" Si Lu comforted him.
Exactly.
"Really?" Song Zhan's eyes brightened when he heard Si Lu's words.
Is it really like that?
The little female praising his hunting skills was a form of recognition of his ability.
He was so happy!
His earlier disappointment was replaced with excitement.
"Of course, just like me. I can't hunt or make clothes, but I have the best eye for finding good beastmen, hee-hee," Si Lu playfully said.
Exactly!
Of course, she couldn't do anything.
It's because of them that she could live well.
Surviving is one thing.
Living well is something else entirely!
The meaning behind the two is different.
"Ah, I'm a male, how can I compare to a female? I'm still useless," Song Zhan immediately became even more downcast.
Si Lu, who was beside him, froze in shock.
Why can't you compare to a female?
Do you look down on females?
Hmph!
This guy, I was trying to comfort him, and yet...
"Our Lu Lu is the best, the strongest, but her best quality is her eye for good things," Cheng Mo said with a smile.
"Yes, indeed, her eye is great!" Black Yao agreed.
"Hahaha," Si Lu laughed.
"Alright, the meat soup is ready, it's time to eat. The roasted meat should be ready too," Cheng Mo reminded them.
Si Lu sat by the fire, then took out some fresh lettuce from the field, washed it, and wrapped it around the roasted meat to eat.
Of course, Cheng Mo and Bai Di ate it with her, but Song Zhan just ate the roasted meat directly. He didn't really like wrapping the meat with grass.
Black Yao, on the other hand, blew on the meat soup in his stone bowl, occasionally feeding Si Lu a spoonful.
Of course, they had already eaten earlier while hunting, but Bai Di hadn't eaten yet, and now he was eating.
"Once we're done eating, we should pack up and set off," Cheng Mo looked at Si Lu and said.
Exactly.
They had already wasted some time here.
"Mm-hmm, let's head to the beach, hee-hee, I can't wait!" Si Lu smiled.
Just thinking about the beautiful scenery and seafood made her feel excited inside.
"Mm-hmm, we're all looking forward to it," Cheng Mo said.
He was excited too.
"Lu Lu, when we get to the beach, I'll take you shell hunting and pearl hunting. I heard there are beautiful pearls by the sea," Bai Di said with a smile.
Before, he had heard the beastmen in the tribe talk about it, but he didn't pay much attention. Now that Si Lu liked the sea, he remembered it.
As for whether there were pearls, they'd find out once they got there.
He was going to find pearls and give them to the little female.
"Okay, I don't know if there are any, but it doesn't matter. We can still play at the beach and eat seafood. I'm already very content," Si Lu said with a smile.
She didn't want them to know that she was interested in pearls. What if they all decided to look for them? Besides, they hadn't reached the sea yet. Who knew what might happen? It could be dangerous...
She didn't want them to get involved in danger.
"Mm-hmm, we'll look for them when we get there," Bai Di said.
He wasn't stupid; he knew Si Lu was worried about them.
"Alright, you eat more. We'll need to travel soon," Si Lu said.
"Mm-hmm, you eat too," Bai Di nodded, obediently eating the meat wrapped in the lettuce.
...After eating, they started packing things up.
Si Lu put all the animal skins hanging in the cave into her space, along with the big stone pot, stone bowls, and other items they had made, all stored in her space.
Cheng Mo put out the fire and buried it with soil, making sure the fire was properly extinguished.
"Si Lu, who do you want to ride on?" Cheng Mo looked at Si Lu and asked.
Usually, Si Lu would ride on his back, but now that there were several others who could carry her, he wanted to ask her opinion.
When Cheng Mo asked this, all four of them looked at Si Lu with eager and nervous eyes.
They all wanted to carry her!
"I... Can I ride on all of you?" Si Lu teased, sticking out her tongue and smiling.
"Sure, we'll take turns," Cheng Mo said indulgently.
"Mm-hmm, then I'll ride on Bai Di's fox back first. Hee-hee, I've never ridden a fox before," Si Lu said, looking at Bai Di, her eyes full of anticipation.
She wondered what it felt like to ride on a fox's back.
