\u201cKa Luo, there can\u2019t be less cabbage in the stuffing.\u201d Without raising his head, Chen Qi tossed out the reminder to the one who was cooking lunch.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cClearly there is not much cabbage left.\u201d Ka Luo muttered, though he obediently added half a dish of shredded cabbage into the freshly minced antelope-dragon meat.<\/span><\/p>

Recently, Chen Qi had been tinkering with who knows what, so the task of cooking fell on Ka Luo\u2019s head every day. Whenever Ka Luo saw those yellow and green vegetable things, he felt a stomachache. He just couldn\u2019t understand why Chen Qi had to have them every day. Obviously, there was still a lot of meat stored at home. Fortunately, Chen Qi only forced Ajing to eat a certain amount of vegetables each day, supposedly for the sake of nutritional balance, and he didn’t care too much about what the adults ended up eating. Anyway, Ka Luo did not understand it, so he could only chop cabbage and mix it into meat every time he cooked. After all, if he directly stir-fried the cabbage, he would not want to eat a single leaf.<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi was polishing a wooden ball with the whetstone. The wooden ball was about the size of a baseball. After wiping off the debris on the wooden ball, Chen Qi beckoned over the little wolf cub, “Little Wolf, come here.”<\/span><\/p>

The little wolf cub had grown almost three to four times as big as when it was first picked up, and its fur was soft and fluffy. The little wolf cub was very active at this age, running around the house every day. Without Ajing to accompany it, Chen Qi would not let the little wolf cub play in the yard. After all, everyone was still very concerned about the recent hyena-drake attack. If they wanted to go to the yard, there had to be at least two people together.<\/span><\/p>

So even now, since Chen Qi still insisted on exercising by running in the yard, aside from being accompanied by Ajing and the little wolf cub, there was also the additional Ka Luo with his wooden bow on his back. Whenever Ka Luo goes out nowadays, the wooden bow would be hanging on his back. Daily archery practice had also made Ka Luo’s marksmanship better and better. Although the destructive power was not as strong as that of the females\u2019, he was the best among them in terms of accuracy, almost achieving a hundred hits out of a hundred shots. Therefore, Ka Luo’s love for the bows and arrows was also growing stronger and stronger.<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi put the wooden ball on the ground and rolled it in the direction that the little wolf cub was running. The little wolf cub seemed very curious about this moving thing. When the wooden ball rolled over, it avoided it warily, and when it stopped, it walked over cautiously, not daring to touch it right away. Instead, it stood not too far away and watched quietly.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Chen Qi went over and picked up the wooden ball then rolled it again. The wooden ball was not big and the ground was covered with animal skins to keep the cold at bay, so the wooden ball did not roll far. Seeing the wooden ball running away again, it quickly caught up to it and reached out a paw to grab and stop it. However, who knew that the wooden ball that was about to stop just rolled forward again.<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi watched the little wolf cub with amusement as it chased and played with the wooden ball. He completely didn\u2019t realize that he seemed to be raising the little wolf cub like a cat.<\/span><\/p>

As soon as Ali, who had just exchanged posts with Ake, pushed open the door and entered the room, he couldn’t wait to ask, “Chen Qi, did you finish the box from before?”<\/span><\/p>

\u201cIt’s done.\u201d Chen Qi let the little wolf cub play on its own and went back into the room to move out a large wooden box, about half a meter tall. The surface of the wooden box was painted a slightly dark shade of red with dye-fruits and there were some patterns painted across the whole body. Common flowers and plants, like willow trees, were painted on the sides, while the front was dotted with thistle-like designs. Because the patterns were painted on with brown dye-fruits, the designs were not obvious, and the box looked unexpectedly exquisite.<\/span><\/p>

The box had two layers of drawers. Chen Qi had polished the stretched joints until they were very smooth and the surface was also coated with a thin layer of gum-fruit liquid. With just a slight pull, the drawers would extend out.<\/span><\/p>

This was the first time that Ali saw such an exquisite wooden box, and he just couldn’t help admiringly touching it. Even Ka Luo, who was cooking, couldn’t help coming over to have a look, “Chen Qi, when did you make such a thing?”<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThere hasn\u2019t been much to do these days, so I managed to churn this out.\u201d Chen Qi smiled. In fact, the wooden box is a little crude. After all, the wooden boxes Chen Qi used to make were all either roughly tied together with ropes or simply glued together. The only one that was carefully made was probably the big bathtub in the bathroom.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cYou\u2019re really going to give me such a beautiful thing?\u201d Ali asked with disbelief, all his previous melancholy completely swept away.<\/span><\/p>

\u201c<\/span>En<\/span><\/i>. Of course. This is my wedding gift to you and Azhang.\u201d When Ali had come to him asking about how to make the bone rings, Chen Qi considered what he could give to them. Later, he saw the wooden cabinet in his own room and thought to make a good furniture set. That\u2019s how this wooden box appeared, which, to be precise, was still roughly a test product.<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi had already planned to spend the rest of his life here, so he hoped to make his life more refined and comfortable. Even though he had left civilized society, he did not want his life to be separated from civilization. Those things had followed him for nearly 30 years and were practically melted into his blood and bones, Chen Qi did not want to give them up. The existence of that knowledge could also make the lives of the beastmen here better. These were the considerations that Chen Qi had been thinking about during this period of time.<\/span><\/p>

Of course, it was not a simple thing to present those other-worldly things in this world. Fortunately, he had plenty of time now, and the people who were in the Lion-Wolf Tribe would also be returning after winter ends. Chen Qi certainly did not want them to live in the messy houses from before. Also, there were many among them who could no longer hunt. In Chen Qi’s world, people could survive even without the ability to hunt. He hoped to find some suitable jobs for these people, so they could exchange things they make for enough food to survive.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThank you.\u201d Ali thanked him gratefully, “Chen Qi, can you teach me how to make this kind of wooden box?”<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cOf course.\u201d Chen Qi originally intended to give these things to Ali first, and then it would be better for Ali to teach the other tribesmen in the future. “There are still many styles of this kind of wooden box. After you learn how to make it, you can make a variety of different wooden cases.”<\/span><\/p>

\u201cChen Qi, can I learn it too?\u201d Ka Luo also really liked this beautiful wooden box. If he could make one, he could put things in it for Ayao. It would definitely look good in the room.<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi nodded. “There is not much wood suitable for use at home now, but you can make some smaller ones first. Once you\u2019ve learned it, you can then make bigger boxes.” It was not easy for the beastpeople here to think about things divergently. Chen Qi must guide them step by step before they could think of other ways. Otherwise, it could be foreseen that the things these two would make would, at most, be exactly the same as the one he made.<\/span><\/p>

Thinking that he\u2019d be learning another new skill, Ka Luo’s cooking actions became much lighter. Ajing, who was doing his homework, just looked up at the adults, who\u2019d suddenly started a heated discussion. He had no interest in carpentry, or rather, he found that Chen Qi’s written stories and words were more interesting.<\/span><\/p>

The little wolf cub nestled in the corner and kept pawing and pulling the wooden ball with its paws, having a great time playing.<\/span><\/p>

On the vast snowfield, two fast-moving figures stopped suddenly. Aze picked up a feather by his feet that was still emitting white mist and handed it to Azhang. “A messenger eagle was here. It seems it hasn\u2019t left for long.”<\/span><\/p>

Azhang’s already tired complexion became even more solemn. “The messenger eagle was headed in the direction of our home. I\u2019m afraid the hyena-drakes may be headed that way.”<\/span><\/p>

Aze was also worried, but seeing Azhang’s increasingly pale face, he still suggested, “Let’s take a rest before continuing.” They had not stopped since they left the Lion-Wolf Tribe. Especially after they found trails of the messenger eagle last night, they were even more anxious and hurried on through the night. However, Azhang had been busy day and night at the Lion-Wolf Tribe in order to go home earlier. if he forcefully kept going now, his body might not be able to hold on.<\/span><\/p>

Azhang also knew his own state. If he forced himself to travel this way, if they really encountered a hyena-drake when they got back, he might just be a burden. They\u2019d be better off resting up now in order to travel a little faster later.<\/span><\/p>

Azhang smiled apologetically at Aze. “Then let’s have something to eat before we go. After a day and night without eating anything, I\u2019m already so hungry I\u2019m about to run out of energy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Aze nodded, and the two planned to find an acacia tree as a place to rest at.<\/span><\/p>

All of a sudden, Aze grabbed Azhang’s sleeve and said, “Wait a minute.”<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWhat’s the matter?\u201d Azhang looked back at him, puzzled.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cThere are a few small mounds of snow ahead. They weren\u2019t here when I came past here before.\u201d Aze stretched out his hand and pointed to the front. The surroundings were full of footprints trampled over or made by the antelope-dragons and locust dragons. It was impossible to tell what other animals had been there. However, Aze had a good memory. There were no such mounds when he passed by here before and it had not snowed at all in the past two days. There had been too many strange things happening on the plains lately, Aze couldn\u2019t help but be more vigilant.<\/span><\/p>

The two men did not walk further towards the mounds of snow, but planned to take a detour around towards a nearby acacia tree. However, just as they were about to turn around, several silvery figures suddenly rushed out of the snowdrift and rushed straight at them.<\/span><\/p>

The two had long been prepared, so when they found that the situation was off, they quickly retreated and distanced themselves from those figures.<\/span><\/p>

Aze stared intently, his pupils shrank slightly, his muscles tensed up and his steps moving back slightly, ready to escape at any time.<\/span><\/p>

What the two of them had encountered were hyena-drakes. But it was not just one or two of them, but ten or twenty of them. The hyena-drakes that jumped out first stood not far away from the two men, with deep, cold and greedy eyes closely watching their movements. The hyena-drakes that hadn\u2019t yet had time to appear from behind the snowdrifts started to climb up one after another.<\/span><\/p>

Both of them felt their hearts sink. They might\u2019ve been able to cope with one or two of them, but now that there were several more of them, their chances of surviving were not very high.<\/span><\/p>

Aze’s eyes darkened, but how could he admit defeat at this time? His Chen Qi was still at home waiting for him to return.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
