The adult impala Aze hunted was handed over to Azhang, whom Chen Qi asked to help distribute the meat to the elderly females who could no longer hunt and the young beastmen who had lost their families. As for themselves, they took home the smaller impala Ajing had caught.<\/span><\/p>

After returning to the tribe, Aze looked much better. His forehead was no longer sweating, and although his face was still a bit pale, he seemed far more spirited. Even though he kept insisting he was fine, Chen Qi still felt uneasy. He shooed Aze back into the room to rest while he and Ajing handled the young impala.<\/span><\/p>

The young impala wasn\u2019t very large. Chen Qi used part of it to make a pot of offal soup, roasted the rest, and even made a few vegetable pancakes using the fresh wild greens they had gathered earlier that day.<\/span><\/p>

It had been a long time since Chen Qi had eaten fresh meat and vegetables, so he put real care into cooking the meal.<\/span><\/p>

Aside from the paleness, Aze wasn\u2019t experiencing any other discomfort. He was used to being busy during the day, so suddenly lying in bed made it hard for him to sleep. After tossing around a bit, he caught the aroma of roasting meat and couldn\u2019t help getting up.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWhy aren\u2019t you resting a little longer?\u201d Chen Qi set down the seasoning he had been about to brush onto the roast and walked to Aze\u2019s side. He touched Aze\u2019s forehead with the back of his hand. Feeling no fever, he finally relaxed.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cI’m fine.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cSit here and rest for a bit. It\u2019ll be ready soon.\u201d Chen Qi brought over a futon for him. Knowing Chen Qi was worried, Aze didn\u2019t refuse and obediently sat to the side, quietly watching him work.<\/span><\/p>

However, Aze didn\u2019t eat much during the meal. Seeing his lack of appetite, Chen Qi made a light vegetable porridge for him instead. Aze actually finished two large bowls of that, but afterward, he grew very sleepy again. Chen Qi guided him back to the room, where he slept straight through until evening.<\/span><\/p>

Aze\u2019s unusual behavior worried Chen Qi greatly. He wondered whether Aze had caught a chill from being out in the rain for so long a few days ago. With no doctors and no one knowledgeable about medicine here, Chen Qi didn\u2019t dare try random herbs. All he could do was stay by Aze\u2019s side and keep watch.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Fortunately, aside from the drowsiness and poor appetite, Aze showed no other symptoms. Because of this odd state, Chen Qi also refused to let him go out hunting. Meanwhile, Ajing and the little wolf cub took the opportunity to learn hunting skills from the other beastmen, now that the animals on the plains had begun migrating back. Every day, they brought home some small prey\u2014juvenile animals, not very large, but more than enough to cover the daily needs of their small family.<\/span><\/p>

After hearing about Aze\u2019s condition, Azhang came to check on him and also brought over some of the hunting team\u2019s catch.<\/span><\/p>

The tribe was still in the midst of construction, and most resources were still shared communally. Even if Chen Qi and the others couldn\u2019t go out to hunt, they could still receive fresh meat from the tribe\u2019s efforts every day.<\/span><\/p>

Still, Chen Qi didn\u2019t plan to stay in the tribe doing nothing while Aze was unable to hunt. He was currently designing a warm shed\u2014a place for raising animals. There were many issues to consider in the blueprint, and Chen Qi also planned to catch a few small animals to try raising before the design was finalized.<\/span><\/p>

He had experience trapping wild rabbits before. As long as he found the rabbit trails, catching them wasn\u2019t difficult. But Aze didn\u2019t want Chen Qi to leave the city without him. Unfortunately, Aze had been so lethargic these days that he often slept until nearly noon before waking. Chen Qi had no choice but to postpone his outing to set traps until midday.<\/span><\/p>

After setting the last trap, Chen Qi stood up and patted the dirt from his palms. He looked up at a tree that resembled a banyan\u2014this was the very tree in which he had once hidden while witnessing a fierce fight over food, almost getting eaten by vultures in the process. Thinking back, it all felt like a lifetime ago. If vultures appeared now, he wouldn\u2019t need anyone to rescue him. Chen Qi felt confident he could easily handle them himself with the bow\u2014or the crossbow\u2014in his hands.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cI didn\u2019t expect I\u2019d been here so long.\u201d The branches of the banyan tree were full of lush leaves, probably because it was just the start of summer and the tree hadn\u2019t begun to blossom yet.<\/span><\/p>

Aze yawned, a few tears forming at the corners of his eyes. Perhaps it was due to fatigue, and his expression looked a bit lazy.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cSleepy?\u201d Chen Qi asked, wiping the corners of his eyes with concern.<\/span><\/p>

\u201c<\/span>En<\/span><\/i>.\u201d Aze nodded, then added, \u201cI\u2019m fine. You don\u2019t need to worry.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cIf you feel uncomfortable anywhere, you must tell me.\u201d Chen Qi looked at him seriously. Beastmen don\u2019t get sick easily, but that doesn\u2019t mean they can\u2019t. Chen Qi didn\u2019t understand medicine and was afraid something might happen.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cDon\u2019t worry, I really am fine.\u201d Aze knew his body well. Though he didn\u2019t understand why he had been behaving unusually lately, he didn\u2019t feel any discomfort. Clearly, it was impossible for Chen Qi not to worry.<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi didn\u2019t say anything further. He packed up his things and, noticing the tiredness in Aze\u2019s eyes, crouched slightly in front of him. \u201cI\u2019ll carry you home.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cNo, it\u2019s not far from the tribe. I can make it if I just push through.\u201d Aze waved his hands repeatedly. He had followed Chen Qi to protect him; now, how could he let Chen Qi carry him back? What if he fell asleep and wild animals appeared?<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi hung his crossbow on his chest, grabbed Aze\u2019s wrist, and, without further discussion, lifted him up. He had grown quite a bit this past year and was now almost as tall as Aze. Chen Qi never expected that he could still grow taller in his thirties.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cI\u2026 I\u2019m really heavy.\u201d Since he could remember, Aze had never been carried by anyone else. He was always the one carrying Chen Qi, so this role reversal made him feel a little awkward.<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi bounced him slightly and laughed. \u201cYou\u2019re not heavy.\u201d Then he started walking steadily toward the tribe, showing no sign of struggle.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cIf you\u2019re sleepy, just rest a bit. It\u2019s so close to the tribe that large wild animals won\u2019t appear here.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201c<\/span>En<\/span><\/i>.\u201d Aze rested his head gently against Chen Qi\u2019s back. The warmth through his clothes deepened his drowsiness. Being carried felt both novel and reassuring. He no longer insisted on walking by himself, and after a few breaths, he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi chuckled softly and slowed his pace to let him sleep comfortably.<\/span><\/p>

As they reached the city gate, Ahxu jumped down from the wall. Seeing Chen Qi carrying Aze, he hurried over, worried. \u201cWhat happened? Is Aze hurt?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cShh.\u201d Chen Qi gestured for him to lower his voice. Perhaps hearing the conversation, Aze stirred slightly on his back but showed no signs of waking. Chen Qi explained, \u201cHe\u2019s just sleepy. He fell asleep.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWhat\u2019s been happening to him these past few days? Why is he sleeping so long?\u201d Ahxu whispered, clearly aware of Aze\u2019s recent condition.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cI don\u2019t know.\u201d Chen Qi shook his head with a wry smile. \u201cBut aside from being unusually drowsy, he seems physically fine. Don\u2019t worry. I\u2019ll take him home first.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cGo ahead.\u201d Ahxu patted Chen Qi\u2019s shoulder comfortingly and opened the gate for him before returning to the wall.<\/span><\/p>

Recently, Aze hadn\u2019t been eating much. Every day, Chen Qi tried making different snacks for him, but Aze only showed interest in light foods or pastries. After settling him in, Chen Qi headed to the kitchen. He had picked a lot of fresh wild vegetables during his outing and planned to use them to make something new for Aze to try.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cChen Qi!\u201d Ajing burst in with the little wolf cub and handed a slightly dirty hide backpack to Chen Qi, his face shining with an expectant smile.<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi took the backpack, curious. \u201cWhat did you bring back?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cRabbits.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Opening the bag, Chen Qi found a few wild rabbits that looked very young. \u201cWhere did you find them?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cIn a bush. Little Wolf and I were trying to catch a young warthog, but we found these on the way and brought them back.\u201d Ajing looked down, a little dejected. \u201cWe didn\u2019t catch any game today.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201c<\/span>Awoo<\/span><\/i>.\u201d The little wolf cub lowered its head, as if feeling guilty.<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi laughed, ruffling the two little ones. \u201cYou haven\u2019t even finished the game you caught yesterday, and yet you brought back so many little rabbits. That\u2019s already impressive.\u201d He crouched down to look at Ajing and the little wolf cub seriously. \u201cRemember, you\u2019re here to learn hunting skills. Don\u2019t let the hunt endanger you. The plains aren\u2019t as dangerous as the forest, but with your current abilities, you can\u2019t handle large beasts. Whether you catch prey or not doesn\u2019t matter; what matters is returning safely every day. Understand?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Ajing and the little wolf cub nodded at each other, \u201cWe understand.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi smiled. \u201cFirst, let\u2019s make a nest for the rabbits.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Ajing\u2019s eyes lit up, and he nodded enthusiastically.<\/span><\/p>

The rabbits were kept in a wooden-fenced cage, originally meant for adult rabbits, so the gaps between boards were quite wide. Chen Qi added an extra layer of rope across the gaps and made a simple nest inside with soft hay and some old hides.<\/span><\/p>

The cage was placed under a fig tree, safe from the sun.<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi handed a handful of the freshly picked wild vegetables to Ajing and showed him how to feed the rabbits.<\/span><\/p>

The beastmen had never raised animals before. The little wolf cub was the first one they\u2019d cared for, and it was smart\u2014Ajing could understand its intentions even though it couldn\u2019t speak. The little rabbits, however, huddled together, didn\u2019t even know how to bite the vegetables placed in front of them.<\/span><\/p>

Ajing frowned, the initial novelty quickly fading. \u201cDo we have to keep them all the time?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi teased a grayish little rabbit with a leaf. \u201cYes, we\u2019ll keep them. That way, we\u2019ll have fresh meat in the winter.\u201d<\/span><\/p>
