class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the following days, everyone played jump rope but Chen Qi dared not let Ajing participate. He made a smaller rope for Ajing and taught him how to jump rope on his own. After all, everyone had things to do each day, so they naturally could not get together to play every day. Therefore, they played jump rope for a few days while it was still fresh for them before going off on their own to do solo jump roping. Ajing saw that others stopped playing and naturally did not clamor to participate either.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chen Qi did pushups every morning and evening. At first, he could only do about 20 pushups and then he couldn&#8217;t get up anymore. After several days of perseverance, he could now do about 50 or 60 pushups.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chen Qi made a makeshift hourglass. Since there was no way to make a transparent hourglass and he could not tell the time without seeing through the hourglass, Chen Qi made a funnel and put a pottery dish under it. The funnel was filled with washed river sand and Chen Qi estimated that it would take about half an hour for all the sand to leak out. Every time he jumped rope, he poured all the sand in the pottery dish into the funnel, and when the sand finished draining out, his exercise for the day was complete .<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These kinds of days continued for nearly a month. Through Chen Qi&#8217;s hard work, his soft muscles finally became a lot tougher. He even felt that he had developed two abs. Although they were subtle, Chen Qi was already very satisfied.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now the others no longer restricted the range of his activities. When the sun was at its warmest at noon, Chen Qi and Aze would take a walk in the yard to help digestion. After several snowfalls, the snow in the yard was knee-high again. Now, it was no longer necessary to pile the snow onto the walls. So after each snowfall, they just had to clear the snow off the running track and the paved roads.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chen Qi held Aze&#8217;s hand and walked slowly along the running track. The surroundings were very quiet. There was almost no other noise aside from the breathing of the person beside him. The sun was warm on his body. Chen Qi leaned his head and kissed Aze&#8217;s lips. At this moment, he felt a quiet feeling of peace.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After walking two laps around the yard, there was nothing to see except the flat expanse of snow and the surrounding was blocked by tall walls. Chen Qi stopped in his steps and looked at the snow in the yard for a moment. After a seemingly long time, he turned to the person beside him to ask his opinion, &#8220;Aze, why don&#8217;t we make snowmen out of the snow in the yard?&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOkay.\u201d For Chen Qi&#8217;s requests, as long as they didn\u2019t endanger Chen Qi&#8217;s wellbeing, Aze would agree to them regardless of whether he could fulfill them or not. Of course, until now, Chen Qi had not asked for something he could not fulfill.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An activity like making snowmen was, of course, more fun when there were more people. At Chen Qi&#8217;s suggestion, everyone went to the yard to see how to make a snowman.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After more than two months now, Ayao had learned to turn over on his own and occasionally, he would stare at his limbs and crawl forward for a distance. Chen Qi had never raised a child, so he wondered if the growth rate of this beastman child was similar to human children. Or was it faster?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the moment, Ake came out holding Ayao, who was already dressed in small clothes. Ayao had instinctively transformed his body to be covered in fur. He was also tightly wrapped in animal hides, which made him look, ten points out of ten, like a little beast.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt&#8217;s so cold outside. Is it okay to bring him out here?\u201d Chen Qi asked, worried.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ake smiled. &#8220;It&#8217;s fine. Although Ayao is young, he is much stronger than you.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c&#8230;\u201d Hadn\u2019t he just accidentally gotten sick once? Could it be that his image in others\u2019 minds was set as a sickly person?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chen Qi recently felt that he had the potential to be a teacher, and these beastmen he lived together with had all become his students. But no. Even things like making a snowman had to be demonstrated by Chen Qi before they could understand.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bd6fbca elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-phone elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bd6fbca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Crossing\u00a0 to Live in the Wilderness Plains (CLWP)\u00a0 is translated by Betwixted Translations.

After hearing Chen Qi&#8217;s explanation, he was even more confused.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOf course, it is for decoration.\u201d Chen Qi picked up a rolled ball and placed it on the snowman. Then he turned to Aze and instructed, &#8220;Aze, help me to get some branches.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The snowman\u2019s arms, eyes and mouth were made of branches. Chen Qi stood a little farther out, looked at it and held his chin in his hand. He felt that something was missing. After thinking about it, he went back into the house, found a wooden stick and dyed it with red dye-fruit before taking it outside to dry. Then he inserted it into the snowman for a nose. The red color was very conspicuous on the white snowman. The snowman, which had no special features just now, suddenly came alive.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis is it?\u201d Although it snowed all year round, Chen Qi was the first beastman to play with snow. Everyone didn\u2019t know anything about making snowmen and it was their first time seeing this strange new thing from piling up snow. Their faces showed expressions of having sudden epiphanies.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chen Qi tore a piece of tattered brown hide into strips and wrapped one of them around the snowman&#8217;s neck. Then, he clapped his hands and nodded with satisfaction. &#8220;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">En<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, that&#8217;s good. You guys can pile them up like this.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thus, after this day, strange things of various shapes were erected in the originally undisturbed white expanse in the yard. Fortunately, there was no light here at night, or it would\u2019ve been frightening to see them accidentally.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cKa Luo, what are you making?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAke.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chen Qi looked at the Ake snowman, whose body had half collapsed, and silently said, &#8220;Why are you making feet for him?&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ka Luo looked at him, puzzled. &#8220;Didn&#8217;t you say to pile up however I see it? Ake has feet. So, of course I&#8217;m going to pile up feet for him.&#8221; Then Ka Luo frowned again with distress. &#8220;But the feet keep breaking apart. What should I do?&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chen Qi didn&#8217;t want to douse his enthusiasm, so he suggested, &#8220;Why don&#8217;t you pile it to make \u2018Ake\u2019 sitting there? That way, the feet will not collapse from not being able to bear the weight of the body.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ka Luo slapped his forehead with the sudden realization, &#8220;Why didn&#8217;t I think of that? Chen Qi, you are so smart.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Upon hearing Chen Qi\u2019s words, Aze, who was next to him, silently pushed down the half-collapsed snowman and replaced it with one that was sitting down. If the posture was carefully scrutinized, it was clear that there were a few points of similarity to the shadow of Chen Qi.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After Chen Qi made two snowmen, he lost interest. He left behind the bunch of beastmen who were making strange things and went back to the house. In the house, Ali was practicing calligraphy. Ka Luo and him had woven all the wool cocoons when they were idle. Now, there were piles of over one meter high fabrics in the house.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBack so soon? You\u2019re not going to continue making those snowmen?\u201d Ali was slightly surprised to see Chen Qi coming through the door. He got up and poured him a bowl of sweet ginger soup. Nowadays, he would boil a pot of sweet ginger soup at home every day. No matter who came in from being outside for a period of time they would have to drink a bowl of it to drive away the chill.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chen Qi finished drinking the sweet ginger soup and put down the bowl before replying, &#8220;The soybeans that we soaked this morning should be almost ready. I will come back and make something delicious for all of you.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ali understood and nodded, &#8220;Then, let me help you.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, Ali had also gone out just now to watch Chen Qi and the others make snowmen, but he was a lot older than Chen Qi and them, after all. While this kind of activity looked novel, he didn\u2019t have much interest in it. It was still more interesting to write and practice calligraphy.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chen Qi took out the stone mill he\u2019d made a few days ago. The stone mill was not big and was slightly wider than the pottery bowl they were using now. Chen Qi had pondered over the design of the stone mill for a long time and drew many renderings before finally coming up with it. From the start of production to being able to test its use and effect took nearly a whole month.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There was only less than half a bowl of soybeans. These were the same ones Ajing brought over before. Because there were so few of them, he had been reluctant to use them, which was why they had been kept until now. Now that the stone mill was ready, Chen Qi soaked all the soybeans in water and planned to make soy milk.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, if conditions had permitted, Chen Qi would have liked to make tofu, but there was no gypsum here to coagulate the soy milk, so he could only give up.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chen Qi put the soaked soybean into the opening on the top of the stone mill, added a little water to it, and then slowly turned the handle of the stone mill. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">White liquid*<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> began to slowly flow out between the upper and lower connected stones, and then flowed down the channel into the pottery dish that was prepared below.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">*Picture of making soy milk with a stone mill, clip taken from a youtube video<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p><p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/betwixtedbutterfly.com\/translations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/soymill.png\" width=\"421\" height=\"244\" \/><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f208568 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-phone elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f208568\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Crossing\u00a0 to Live in the Wilderness Plains (CLWP)\u00a0 is translated by Betwixted Translations.

Chen Qi set the pottery dish of raw soybean milk on a wooden shelf next to the fire to boil, and then found a clean cloth to filter the boiled soybean milk twice to produce a large amount of milky white soy milk that was drinkable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smelling the familiar beans\u2019 fragrance, Chen Qi added a small half-bamboo tube-full of sugar into the dish and then set it on the fire to melt the sugar a little before removing it from the heat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Naturally, the filtered bean dregs must not be wasted. Chen Qi had not had staple food for a long time. He asked Ali to cut a large plate of diced meat, added it to bean dregs, and stir-fried them together. When it was almost cooked, he added some chopped scallions and seasoned it with salt before setting it into a dish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The rest of the food was made by Ali; a large plate of stewed meat without potatoes, and two large bowls of steamed meat patties mixed with pickled cabbage. Chen Qi had pickled the cabbages when it was just entering winter. At that time, he\u2019d been worried that the cabbage would not be able to be stored for a long time, so he pickled a lot of them. He didn\u2019t expect that this thing wasn\u2019t afraid of the freezing temperatures at all. Later, when they harvested more, they didn&#8217;t continue to pickle them. After several months, these pickled cabbages had become full of flavor and ready for use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After dinner was ready, Chen Qi went out to call everyone in for dinner. To his surprise, Aze seemed to be having fun too. In Chen Qi&#8217;s impression, Aze gave the impression that he felt many things were dispensable and that there was nothing he was particularly interested in doing. In most cases, it was like he would divide things into things he needed to do versus things he didn\u2019t need to do, rather than whether he liked or disliked them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chen Qi reached out his hand to brush the snow off of Aze&#8217;s clothes. Aze appeared reluctant to suddenly suspend the snowman-making activities. There seemed to be a little more childishness on his mature and handsome face. Speaking of which, Aze was a few years younger than himself, but because he usually seemed so strong that his actual age would often get overlooked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chen Qi&#8217;s heart softened, &#8220;After eating, you guys can continue to pile them up some more.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">En.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taking a mouthful of sweet and smooth soy milk, the familiar taste seemed to instantly pull Chen Qi back to the breakfasts he had bought on his way to work on countless mornings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cChen Qi, why is this cabbage sour?\u201d Ali, who had taken a bite of the steamed meat patty, asked curiously. When he was mixing the minced meat earlier, he had thought the cabbage seemed to taste very strange. He thought it had just been salted for too long, but he didn\u2019t expect it to taste sour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOf course, this is pickled cabbage.&#8221; Chen Qi took a big piece of meat patty and bit into it. It tasted pretty good.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The others had long been accustomed to Chen Qi suddenly producing new and novel foods. Right now, they just wanted to fill their stomachs quickly and continue to build snowmen in the yard, and didn\u2019t have any interest in knowing what these foods were made of.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today is the first day after the Moonless Day, the moonlight was very bright. The few females relied on their good eyesight to not go to sleep until late in the middle of the night. Looking at the eerie atmosphere from the messy and strangely-shaped things in the yard under the moonlight, Chen Qi couldn&#8217;t help shuddering. He hurriedly shut the door and laid back on the bed holding his beloved to sleep. Before sleeping, he wondered if he was making a mistake with his ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trying to exercise, yet falling ill. Trying to teach them to jump rope, and injuring Ajing. Chen Qi now held a deep question mark over his ideas of introducing things from his original world into this one.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-67a99261 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-phone elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"67a99261\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Crossing\u00a0 to Live in the Wilderness Plains (CLWP)\u00a0 is translated by Betwixted Translations.

Today Aze was on guard duty, so the task of walking with Chen Qi was handed over to Ajing and little wolf pup.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a day and night of efforts, the beast people finally lost interest in the activity of making snowmen. Of course, Chen Qi guessed that it also had something to do with the fact that the snow in the yard had basically been used up.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The little wolf cub had grown a lot over the past few months. Now it was almost the size of a one-month-old puppy. It happily ran in front of Chen Qi and Ajing. One moment dashing into a snowman pile and rolling around for a while, the next, barking at a snowman pile that he couldn\u2019t really tell what it was supposed to be the shape of.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chen Qi was amused. It seemed that he wasn\u2019t the only one who disdained these snowmen\u2019s appearance. The little wolf cub couldn\u2019t stand them either.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cChen Qi, I made these ones.\u201d Ajing tugged at Chen Qi&#8217;s sleeve and pointed at a crowd of snowmen nearby. There were two big snowmen, one small snowman, and an even smaller snowman next to each other..<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although he couldn\u2019t see any similarities of these snowmen to their actual appearances, by the looks of Ajing\u2019s expression that was seemingly looking for praise, Chen Qi guessed that the two snowmen were him and Aze, and the other two were Ajing himself and the little wolf cub.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYou made them wonderfully.\u201d Chen Qi patted Ajing&#8217;s head and praised him. Ajing smiled so much his eyes and eyebrows curved.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cLittle Wolf, what are you doing?\u201d Chen Qi found that the little wolf cub had been standing in front of a pile of snow barking for a long time and couldn\u2019t help but feel that something was strange. Just as he was about to walk over, he noticed that the pile of snow seemed to move a bit.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chen Qi blinked. Could the snowman be alive?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While joking in his heart, the little wolf cub suddenly turned around and ran towards Chen Qi, barking louder and louder as he ran. Then Chen Qi saw that the pile of snow really moved, and even rolled over to the side, stretching out his limbs and revealing brown claws.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where the pile of snow was originally now revealed a dark hole that was more than one meter wide. A pair of greedy and gloomy eyes stared directly at Chen Qi from the hole. Chen Qi seemed to be able to hear the sound of swallowing saliva.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a89aa6d elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"1a89aa6d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-44373b6c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"44373b6c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 style=\"font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-family: Lato, Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 600;\">Words from the Translation Crew<\/span><\/h3><p style=\"font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; letter-spacing: normal;\">Miiya: May be a few weeks before the next chapter.
