Chapter 195: Let’s Run, Fox (XI)

TL: Sarah

   

The food problem was basically solved, and the tribe swept away the previous depressed atmosphere and began to actively prepare for the winter.

   
Shang Ke managed the garden during the day. He picked vegetables, brewed fruit wine and sew animal pelt. Mutu gave all his private property to Shang Ke, including food, animal pelt, precious metals and rare minerals, regarding him as his internal helper. After winter, he intended to formally apply to the elders to log in to the directory and establish a family with him.

Even though it was rare for a Lion King to establish a family with a male partner, in this era, beastmen still approved of the marriage between males. After all, the title of Lion King was not hereditary. Anyone could challenge the Lion King if they had the courage and strength.

“Fox!” Mutu came into the room wearing a furry coat and strode to Shang Ke, laughing like a thief.

Shang Ke gave him a strange look.

Mutu took something out of his arms and shook his tail, “For you.”

He was holding a pendant in his hand. It was shaped like a small gourd and was bone white, looking small and lovely.

   
Shang Ke took it and looked at it carefully. He found that it was a gudi flute carved from animal bones. Although the shape was simple, it was hand-made, smooth and delicate. It was obviously made with great effort.

“This is a bone flute I made myself. If you want to call me, play this flute. I will definitely come immediately.” Mutu pounded his chest as he talked.

Shang Ke was silent: This is the first time I met a big guy (the dog) who made a flute (dog whistle) for me (the dog’s owner) and made it so naturally and unpretentiously…

He happily accepted the gift, hung it around his neck, and looked up to see someone looking at him with a shining face and his tail wagging very joyfully.

   
Shang Ke smiled, hugged his neck and passionately rewarded him a kiss.

Mutu was satisfied. His fur stretched smoothly like a big cat that received stroking.

In half a month, the lions got a lot of catches in the ice lake. The weather became colder and colder. They discussed and decided to net for fish one more time before they end the fishing and hunting for this season.

A group of people came to the ice lake with joy, looking for the positions they put their nets in, and began to pull up the net skillfully.

Shang Ke didn’t go and help. Instead, he searched nearby for available materials or minerals. There were many novel substances in this world, such as snow rock trees that could produce salt crystals. This kind of tree grew in the valley and absorbed the nutrients of the underground salt river. It had no flowers and leaves on its branches. As long as it didn’t rain for three days, it would condense out white salt crystals. Nothing grew around it, only silvery white, which was very strange.

   
There was also a kind of berry and its juice was thick and sticky. If oil is added, it becomes like flour and could be used to make berry flatbread, steamed bread, buns, dumplings and other foods with unique flavor.

There are also many other foods just like this. All were natural ingredients and are nutritious and clean.

While searching, he suddenly heard a cry of horror in the distance. Shang Ke looked around and saw a stunning scene across the lake. A large forest was frozen, freezing into layers of silvery white ice and was quickly spreading to this side.
