Chapter 63 A Windy Day
A breeze is slowly picking up; they say the autumn wind is bone-chilling, and that's absolutely true.
Ruan Mianmian was sitting on Sen's snake head and was almost frozen stiff. She didn't care about anything else and directly took out the pure cashmere blanket she had bought earlier from her storage space and put it on.
Sen and Yu couldn't help but take a few more glances at the strange animal skin the little female had taken out.
They were careless; orcs rarely needed animal hides, only keeping some in their sleeping caves for warmth and moisture protection.
Outdoors, most beastmen have fur, which provides excellent insulation. Even cold-blooded reptiles like the forest can withstand the cold once they reach a certain level of evolution.
Seeing that the little female was a bit cold, Mori couldn't help but slide faster.
Because the wind was a bit strong, Yu wasn't flying very steadily in the air, so he simply sat on Sen's back and let him carry him back.
"Sen, can you hurry up?" Yu shouted loudly while using her wings to shield herself from the wind.
"Okay!" Sen agreed, and then sped up.
Ruan Mianmian wrapped herself tightly in the cashmere blanket, but still felt very cold.
She thought that she must buy a thicker set of clothes when she got back to the cave.
After a while, Sen finally returned to the valley. As soon as he entered the valley, the wind noticeably subsided, because the surrounding mountains formed a natural shelter. Yu jumped off his back and transformed back into human form.
"We're back!" Yu shouted happily.
"You're back!" a voice replied.
It was the tower; he was waiting for them at the door. A smile appeared on his face when he saw them return.
"Sen, Yu, why did it take you so long to return with the goddess? Zhi has asked this so many times already," Ta asked.
"We ran into some trouble, and then the wind was too strong, so we got back a little late," Yu said.
"What's wrong?" Ta asked nervously.
"It's nothing serious, just some four-legged creatures," Yu said casually.
"Oh, that's good." Ta breathed a sigh of relief.
"Nothing happened this afternoon, right?" Yu asked as he took the little female from Sen's snake head.
"Nothing much, the little beastmen just brought back a lot of rocks and clay, saying it was what the goddess asked for," Ta replied with a hint of curiosity.
After getting off Sen's back, Ruan Mianmian walked to the tower.
"Ta, thank you for waiting for us outside for so long. Here, have some vegetables." Ruan Mianmian said, taking out a small bunch of bok choy from her storage space and handing it to Ta.
The tower is a rhinoceros, a herbivore.
"Thank you, Goddess," Ta said gratefully as she accepted the small rapeseed.
It's already rare to find such green grass in this season, let alone that it was given to him by a goddess.
"You're welcome," Ruan Mianmian said with a smile.
At this moment, the other orcs who heard the noise also gathered around and asked about their experiences that afternoon.
Yu and Sen recounted their journey to everyone, who listened with great interest.
Ruan Mianmian first took back the cashmere blanket she was wearing, and then, seeing that everyone had returned to the cave, she signaled to Yu that she could close the door.
The wind outside was already howling, and even though the cave was surrounded by mountains, the wind force was not to be underestimated.
Hearing the howling wind outside, the little beastmen huddled together.
Ruan Mianmian led the group to check which parts of the wall were leaking air, so they could quickly fix them.
This is also why Ruan Mianmian asked them to bring back a large amount of clay.
After spending half a day checking and fixing the omissions, it was finally done, and everyone was exhausted.
After she arrived, the cave was filled with stone jars of all sizes, some for storing salt, some for storing water, and some for storing cured meat...
It can be said that everything edible and usable is put inside.
Yu, as usual, was in charge of grilling the meat, and he asked Ruan Mianmian to choose a larger Moo Moo beast.
Yu was grilling meat over there, while Ruan Mianmian built a makeshift stove out of rocks and clay, deciding to show off her skills to everyone tonight.
