Chapter 118: Ran Ran, Gray Meow Miaow Rawr
Both raincoats were waterproof, which was a success for Su Ran.
After returning inside the house, she used the remaining scraps of animal hide from making the raincoats to make a tail cover for Hui.
Although the finished product looked a bit ugly after putting it on, it could block the rain, which was fine.
This rain continued until after four in the afternoon before gradually tapering off.
Su Ran looked out the window and felt that the distant river water seemed to have overflowed onto the river beach quite a bit.
She stuffed a dried blue worm into her own mouth and casually stuffed two more into Hui’s mouth, who was nibbling on a sausage bit by bit.
It rained all day today, so they didn’t go out.
In the morning, Su Ran and Hui ground the remaining dried green soap fruits into flour in the west room and packed them into animal hide bags.
In the afternoon, she didn’t want to move.
At this moment, both were lying on the kang, facing the window, watching the rain curtain outside and appreciating the rain scene.
Su Ran had placed a kang table on the kang.
The kang table was normal size.
Seventy to eighty centimeters long and fifty to sixty centimeters wide, it was made by Su Ran for doing handiwork on the kang.
At this moment, there was a plate of dried blue worms, a plate of clean fruit, a plate of sausages, and a jar of hot tea on the kang table.
The tea leaves were ones Su Ran had packed in a chewing gum jar herself when she set out hiking before, prepared to drink with her teammates at the time.
Now they were benefiting the big-tailed wolf beside her.
Unfortunately, it didn’t know how to appreciate it yet; its reaction after taking a sip was like it had eaten bitter medicine!
Besides that, she also took out all the small snacks left in her backpack from before.
Those things had mostly been eaten by her already.
Now only three small bags of spicy strips, a few pieces of beef jerky, and four ham sausages remained.
The ham sausages included corn-flavored ones, all of which went into Hui’s belly.
Now this wolf had started to become picky while eating the sausages she made!
Su Ran hatefully bit into the small peach fruit in her hand, thinking of what the werewolf had just said while pointing at the ham sausage bag: “Ran Ran, Hui wants more! This…”
It pointed at the sausages Su Ran had made: “No, want this!”
Thinking about it, Su Ran felt more and more annoyed and reached out to kick the werewolf hard on the butt!
In return, she got a silly toothy grin from the werewolf.
Su Ran felt that the more she looked now, the more she thought there was something pretending to be dumb in this wolf’s silly smile!
This rain lasted a full day and night.
It kept raining until the latter half of the night before gradually stopping.
By that time, Su Ran was already fast asleep, while only Hui still had its ears perked up until the sound of rain disappeared completely before slowly relaxing and entering deep sleep.
The next day early in the morning, the air in the forest was exceptionally fresh.
The air had swept away the sultriness of the past few days; the damp air made Su Ran feel that her movements when moving things outside were much lighter.
She quickly made breakfast, and after eating, she took several animal hide bags, topped her head with the new conical hat made yesterday, and went to the seaside with Hui.
Today, right after the rain, even if the sun came out later, the air would still be a bit cooler.
Su Ran wanted to take advantage of today to get more blue worms from the seaside.
Hui liked eating blue worms.
Whether cold-mixed or dried, it liked them a lot.
And now, the dried blue worms they had sun-dried at home before had mostly been eaten by the two of them as snacks.
Su Ran wanted to make some more.
After arriving at the seaside, Su Ran, as usual, first boiled seawater to boil sea salt in the stone pot.
Then, together with Hui, she carried the backpack from the rain shelter at the seaside to the reefs to pick blue worms.
And when they reached the vicinity of the reefs, Su Ran suddenly discovered that the number of blue worms had visibly decreased.
Moreover, the color on the blue worms was also a bit deeper than before.
Su Ran pointed in surprise at that area of reef where the black surface was now exposed due to the reduced blue worms, and asked Hui, “Hui, are the blue worms gone?”
“Mm!”
Hui also looked at that reef and nodded: “Blue worms, back to the sea!”
Back to the sea, so for some reason, their time living on shore had ended, which also meant the season for eating blue worms was over!
Thinking this, Su Ran walked toward there even faster.
She said to Hui while walking, “Hui, we’ll catch all these blue worms and dry them into dried blue worms to eat in winter.”
“Woo… catch blue worms, winter?”
Hui didn’t stop its action of grabbing blue worms with its hands but was puzzled by the word winter.
Su Ran didn’t lift her head; her hands moved quickly.
“Winter is the time when it’s very cold.”
“The time when it’s very cold?”
Hui repeated it, pondering as it picked up a blue worm nearby, but didn’t ask further, not sure if it understood the meaning of winter.
Blue worms don’t run, don’t jump, and don’t bite; Su Ran and Hui quickly picked two full backpacks.
Su Ran took these blue worms back under the rain shelter at the seaside, poured all the blue worms out of the backpack, sat there, and started processing them.
The internal organs of the blue worms were removed directly at the seaside, then the processed body parts were taken back to the river beach, rinsed, and could be directly sun-dried.
Two hours later, the two large animal hide bags Su Ran brought were filled with processed blue worms.
Su Ran originally wanted Hui to send these back home first; she could continue processing some more at the seaside, and when it flew back, it could transport another batch back.
But this wolf absolutely refused.
Su Ran of course knew it was because it was afraid of another incident like before where she was attacked by a fierce beast.
So she didn’t insist on it sending them back, but planned to go back together with Hui after this pot of sea salt was boiled down.
Just at that moment, two familiar figures suddenly ran out from the woods behind.
Su Ran’s eyes lit up: “Xiao Ju, A Jin?”
These two beastmen didn’t know when they had also come to this side.
And what surprised Su Ran was that both of them now had an animal hide wrapped around their lower bodies.
Although it was just animal hide style, it was much more comfortable for Su Ran to look at than when they were completely naked before.
When the two ran over, Xiao Ju was carrying a gray-feathered bird in her hand.
That bird was still struggling and not dead yet.
When she saw Su Ran, her eyes also lit up. She quickly took two steps and wanted to come over to rub against Su Ran.
But as soon as she got close to Su Ran, she suddenly stopped her action.
She looked at Su Ran suspiciously, her golden pupils dilating to fill her entire eyes.
Then her dainty little nose approached in front of Su Ran, sniffing carefully back and forth, left and right.
At this time, Su Ran’s peripheral vision could also see A Jin nearby, twitching its nose tip, sniffing at Hui’s side from a short distance.
She suddenly understood something!
Then her whole face instantly flushed red!
Sure enough, the next second, Xiao Ju’s tail behind her erected high, the tip of the tail curling seductively,
She blinked her big eyes looking at Su Ran, excitement in her eyes:
“Ran Ran, Hui, meow~ meow!”
