After she left, the females behind her gossiped, "Did you hear? Today, Lei Te asked people to dig some kind of ditch. What is he doing?"
Another female said, "We don't know either. I'll ask my male when he gets back from digging the ditch."
"Alas, don't you think Lei Te's female is too arrogant? She's been in the tribe for so long and doesn't talk to us. I also heard that Lei Te's female and Wen Te's female are sisters. No wonder they look alike!"
A female chimed in, "That's right. I heard it from Lan Hua. They are indeed sisters. And you don't know this yet, Wen Te's female is pregnant!" The female said with envy.
The other females were also surprised, "Really? She got pregnant so quickly? And during the Yellow Moon Season? Hong Cao, you're not lying to us, are you!"
Wen Te's female looks like she just reached adulthood, how could she get pregnant so quickly!
The female called Hong Cao was unhappy at being questioned, "How could this be fake? Lan Hua told me herself. Lan Hua is close to Lei Te and Wen Te, she wouldn't lie to me, would she?"
As soon as they heard it was Lan Hua who said it, the other females believed it. No wonder Wen Te wanted to find a female from outside. Which male wouldn't like a female who gets pregnant so easily!
The females gossiped intensely, believing that the news of Shu Yue's pregnancy would spread throughout the tribe by the next day, as gossip was not easy to come by here...
Shu Yue had no idea that before she even interacted with the other females, her information had already spread throughout the tribe.
For the young, unmarried females, they were unsure whether to be jealous or envious of Shu Yue. Their feelings of imbalance subsided, as they couldn't compare to a female with a high pregnancy rate...
At this moment, Shu Yue was playing a tablet game to pass the time~
Shu Xin sat beside her, fiddling with her medical kit. Inside were silver needles custom-made for her by her master. The tablet contained all the knowledge she possessed. When she decided to give up her life, she naturally wanted to take these things with her to the grave.
Unexpectedly... fortunately, she brought them.
Shu Yue stared intently at the Snake game, a game she once thought was childish, but now she couldn't put it down...
"Sister, does the tablet charge fast?"
Shu Xin replied, "This is the latest solar-powered battery developed. With the current sunlight intensity, it can be fully charged in two hours."
Once a battery is fully charged, it can be used for a week when only viewing data. It consumes no power when not in use, and there are three spare batteries, all of which are fully charged.
With hundreds of thousands of equipment, the performance in all aspects is naturally impeccable.
"Oh, that's great! Now I have something to pass the time~"
Shu Xin chuckled, "Don't get too excited. You can't play for too long, it'll strain your eyes."
"I estimate that the drainage ditch will be finished today. Tomorrow, we'll go out to pick corn and wild vegetables. I'll bring the tablet and take photos of all the edible wild vegetables."
Shu Yue found high technology very convenient, "It's much easier with the tablet."
Shu Xin smiled faintly and watched her eat another bean on the tablet, saying, "Transportation is still a problem. Using bamboo baskets is too slow."
"Then let's use large beast hides, or weave net bags. The Dragon Beast has a wide back, so it can carry enough for us to eat in one trip. However, we can't transport it during the day, as it's not good for other tribe members to see. We can secretly store it for ourselves at night, first enough for us, and then lead the tribe members."
Shu Yue felt they could act tonight. People should always consider themselves first.
"Oh no, I hit the wall!" After struggling for so long, she died by hitting the wall due to a moment of carelessness.
Shu Xin shook her head upon seeing this, "That's enough. You've played enough. Let me see if there's anything about weaving net bags inside."
"Okay, you look." Shu Yue exited the game and handed the tablet to her.
Shu Xin tapped around on the tablet. The tablet had a built-in encyclopedia, and it really taught how to weave nets, though it was for fishing nets.
Fishing nets would work too, any net would do.
As they had spare vines at home, the two of them learned while watching.
Meanwhile, Lei Te was incredibly busy. Beastmen worked efficiently, and the drainage ditch was dug in half a day. After digging the ditch, he hurried to build the toilet, and then found A Shui, who wasn't hunting, and the two of them dug out the cellar.
After finishing their work, the hunting party also returned. It was then that he remembered he hadn't cooked for the females yet!
Lei Te immediately rushed to Wen Te's house, panicked. What if Xin'er and the pregnant one were starving!
When he rushed home, the two females were still weaving nets. Shu Xin saw him return and quickly asked him to come over and look.
"Lei Te, come and see how to weave nets. Tomorrow, you'll have to teach the other tribe members."
Lei Te walked over blankly and asked cautiously, "Are you hungry?"
Shu Yue said, "We've already eaten, and we're not hungry yet."
Lei Te asked in surprise, "You've eaten? You cooked for yourselves?"
"Who else would it be?" Shu Xin retorted.
Lei Te was speechless. His females were truly amazing, even knowing how to cook~
"Don't just stand there. Come and see how I'm weaving. Tomorrow, we'll teach the tribe members. We'll make the tools first, and then we can harvest the corn the day after tomorrow."
The rainy season was only a few days away, and the weather was becoming increasingly muggy and uncomfortable.
"Oh, okay." Lei Te dazedly squatted beside Shu Xin, his eyes fixed on her weaving hands.
The vines were as thick as nylon ropes, with large mesh eyes. Anyway, everything on the beastman continent was enlarged, and large mesh eyes were appropriate.
After watching for a long time, Lei Te finally asked slowly, "Xin'er, what is this for?"
"It can be used to hold corn, or to net fish."
"Oh, so it's for holding corn!" Only then did he understand why they needed to weave such net bags. With such a large cornfield, relying solely on bamboo baskets to carry it would indeed be too time-consuming.
And if the net bags were woven large enough, they could hold a lot at once, saving time and effort.
"This is good, let me do it. Your hands are already red."
Shu Xin politely declined, "No need, you rest for a while. We still have work to do tonight."
"? I've finished building our toilet and dug the cellar, what else is there to do?" He thought she was referring to household chores.
Shu Yue explained, "It's not this..."
"Sister, Brother-in-law is the chief's child. Can we do this?" Wouldn't this be too blatant favoritism?
Lei Te blinked, what did it have to do with him being the chief's child? And what did brother-in-law mean?
Shu Xin was confident, "It's fine. If he dares to report or not cooperate, I'll find you another brother-in-law."
Shu Yue was stunned for a moment, then gave her sister a thumbs-up, silently supporting her. A male who doesn't give his own female preferential treatment is not a good male!
Lei Te's fierce eyes widened, "Xin'er, what did I do that you want to replace me? What are you hiding from me?"
