Chapter 193: Wonder If It’s Also This Soft And Adorable
For Xiao Ju and A Jin, the biggest benefit of moving to the riverside was that whenever they wanted to eat fish, they could catch it right outside the house!
At this time, these two looked very excited!
It wasn’t until Su Ran and Hui walked within less than ten meters of them that they were discovered.
It was also at this time that Su Ran noticed that little Feifei was only wearing a beast hide vest that reached her knees, lying on the side playing with stones!
Su Ran: ……
Although she had long known about the beastmen’s casual and free-range attitude when raising children, this was too casual!
Because Xiao Ju often took Feifei to Su Ran’s place, the little one already knew Su Ran and Hui.
At this moment, upon seeing Su Ran, a milky cute smile immediately appeared on her little chubby face that was already smudged with dirt, then she propped up her little chubby arms, struggled to stand up, and wobbled toward Su Ran.
“Meow~ Miwu~”
The little one ran hard, but after not even two steps, her little foot accidentally stepped on a stone, couldn’t hold steady, and before Su Ran could react, “Pa!” she fell straight face-first onto the ground!
Su Ran: “!!”
“Hey! Feifei!”
She reacted and hurriedly went forward to help the little one up.
And in the instant she was helped up by Su Ran holding her arms, the little one’s mouth puckered, and the next second, she let out a wail: “Meow ao~ Meow ao~ Meow ao ao ao~~” and started crying!
However, when Su Ran turned her head, she saw that the two unreliable parents didn’t even glance this way!
Xiao Ju even held two big blue fish in her hand, trying to stuff them into the backpack that Su Ran had brought over……
In the end, this midday meal, Xiao Ju and A Jin ate at Su Ran and Hui’s house.
The main food for lunch was grilled fish, and because the weather was cold, Su Ran also made fish soup.
In addition, she reheated a few sausages.
The sausages were made a few days ago, and after being cooked, Su Ran hung them up in the small wooden house.
Now things placed outside could freeze, but the temperature hadn’t dropped extremely low yet, so they weren’t frozen very solidly.
Also because the weather hadn’t reached its coldest yet, the beastmen sometimes still went out hunting.
Even some older single beastmen, whose hunting speed was slower, hadn’t stored enough food for winter yet and were still going out every day to find prey for hunting.
And now the large animals in the forest had mostly gone deep into the forest, ending their migration.
She didn’t know how much effort these old beastmen had expended to find this food,
Whenever Su Ran occasionally saw those elderly beastmen, every time in the evening, carrying prey back from who knows where flying in, she felt a pang of pity in her heart.
But that bit of desire to help them was always suppressed by her as soon as it emerged.
Although she felt a little reluctant, she really had no ability to help them.
She couldn’t possibly ask Hui to help or share the food that Hui hunted with them.
Otherwise, she and Hui wouldn’t have anything to eat.
Moreover, although the beastmen had always survived by these rules, those elderly beastmen in winter couldn’t be said to have no assurance at all.
Because their children would always go back to check the situation, and in late autumn, if some elderly beastmen really couldn’t hunt, their children would prepare enough food for the old beastman before winter arrived.
Unless this elderly beastman had no companion and no children.
However, there were quite a few such elderly single beastmen in the settlement.
Some of them truly never met a compatible companion in their lifetime and thus never paired with other beastmen.
Others originally had companions and children, but later for some reason, only they were left.
But although these beastmen had always lived alone, they would huddle together for warmth in winter.
Among the elderly beastmen that Su Ran saw who were still hunting now, several were single beastmen.
In winter, they would live together, put all the hunted food together, and in winter, eat only one meal a day, enduring the cold winter together like this.
Although every winter some elderly beastmen would pass away, for the beastmen, this was already very good.
Especially this year.
They built houses using Su Ran’s method.
Their houses, when built, were also built together by several elderly beastmen.
However, they probably only lived together in winter, and in summer, they still lived in their respective bird’s nests and caves.
Of course, all of the above was actually told to Su Ran by Hui.
Last winter, Su Ran hardly left within three hundred meters around the river beach and knew nothing about these.
It was only when the beastmen were building houses that she curiously asked, and Hui told her.
Now Hui’s Huaguo language could already be spoken very fluently.
Even if sometimes he couldn’t find the right adjective, he could rephrase it and convey what he wanted to express to Su Ran.
Su Ran felt that Hui’s current language ability was already on par with foreigners who had lived in Huaguo for four or five years!
While cooking the sausages, Su Ran went to the small wooden house and cut a piece of belly meat from a white-headed sheep.
Belly meat was the fattest part on the whole white-headed sheep and most suitable for refining oil.
Su Ran used this large piece of belly meat to render a medium basin of greaves.
She sprinkled some sea salt powder and onion powder on the greaves, separated out a small portion, sprinkled some chili powder on it, and served it as a side dish.
Finally, she beat three green-skinned eggs, put them in the pot, and steamed an egg cake for Feifei.
Feifei was already weaned, and her mouthful of white little teeth were very efficient when eating meat.
Today she ate grilled fish with Su Ran and the others, and the egg cake was for her as a snack.
This lunch didn’t feel like a proper meal, more like a casual gathering meal.
After eating, Su Ran and Xiao Ju lay together on the heated brick bed, teasing Feifei who was crawling around on the heated brick bed.
Now the little one’s wings had grown feathers, shallow brown wings just like A Jin’s.
The two small wings were tucked behind the little one, occasionally slightly unfolding with her crawling.
But because she couldn’t fly yet, they would unfold and then quickly fold back.
Now the hair on top of the little one’s head had grown a bit longer, looking about three or four centimeters long.
The orange-golden hair strands softly stuck to her scalp, making her little head look round, plus the two small ears on top that kept turning with her movements, she looked irresistibly cute and lovable no matter how you looked at her.
Su Ran, who already had no resistance to fluffy things, liked her even more!
She couldn’t help but reach out, gently grasping Feifei’s similarly orange-golden thin tail. The short fur on the little tail was soft and smooth, slipping out of her palm in an instant, tickling her heart.
Su Ran was simply overwhelmed by the cuteness!
Looking at the little one curiously crawling around on the heated brick bed, she suddenly started thinking, if she and Hui had a baby, would it also be this soft, cute, and adorable……
