Chapter 9 Where did the tabby cat come from?
After returning to the beast cave, Qianqian washed up, lay down in the nest to rest, and silently communicated with Pidan's system mentally.
She used 10 points to exchange for a large jar of external injury ointment, and carefully applied it to Li Yan's wound.
The wound felt cool, and Li Yan felt warm in his heart and stayed close to Qianqian for a while.
Then he left the cave and worked outside.
Process the prey first. For those that cannot be eaten for the time being, store part of it in the space to keep it fresh, and pickle the rest with salt, pickle it for a day, and then hang it up to dry for storage.
The dry season is the best season for making jerky.
Afraid that Qianqian might be hungry, I quickly made some barbecue.
His wind ability suddenly increased greatly. Even if there was only a tiny spark left in the campfire, he could accurately control the wind to ignite the fire, and soon the flames were burning fiercely.
With the flint Qianqian gave him, he could also strike out sparks. The big problem of making fire that had troubled him for more than ten years was suddenly solved.
Fire has always required careful and cautious maintenance, and it takes a lot of effort.
In the cold season, if the entire tribe lost its fire, it would be a disaster. Even if you go to the neighboring tribe to get fire, you may not succeed because it is too cold on the road.
After the meat was roasted, Li Yan crushed the catnip and wild onions he had obtained, sprinkled them on the roasted meat, and gave it to Qianqian to eat.
What made Li Yan even more satisfied was that Qianqian's appetite improved and she ate much more at every meal than before.
After wiping her mouth, Li Yan said, "Go to sleep if you are tired. I will be watching over you outside."
"Hmm." He Qianqian burped.
She is a cat beastman, she can eat meat only, or occasionally some wild fruits and vegetables. She can eat all at once or divide it into two or three meals a day.
As for salt, the demand is not much. When you can eat it, try to use as little salt as possible.
Otherwise, if you eat too much salt, you will easily lose hair.
"What are you going to do outside the cave?" He Qianqian asked casually, feeling drowsy.
"It's getting cold. Chop up a rock as big as the cave entrance to block it."
"It's better to make a door."
"What is a door?"
He Qianqian sat up, gestured on the ground, and explained in detail.
Li Yan seemed to understand, but he believed Qianqian and went to chop wood and bamboo excitedly.
Following Qianqian's suggestion, we prepared to make a table and a bed with wood, and build a fence with bamboo to surround the entire area around the cave.
From now on, this will be our own territory, it’s quite a large place.
Just as he left the courtyard, a white afterimage suddenly appeared and entered the beast cave.
In a daze, He Qianqian touched a furry ball.
I thought it was my clingy husband again.
He hugged the kitten tighter and rubbed his cheek against its head.
The prickly beard and the ears with the right softness and hardness feel a little itchy when rubbed, but they feel very good to the touch.
"Hey, why has the fur become harder and shorter?" Qianqian opened her eyes and was surprised to find that there was a striped white cat in her arms.
"Whose child are you?"
He Qianqian picked up the kitten by the scruff of its neck and looked it up and down. It had a white background with black stripes, and the stripes on its head formed the Chinese character "王". It was only 30cm long.
It is called a tabby cat, but it looks more like a smaller version of a white tiger.
He Qianqian touched it and accidentally touched two small bells.
The kitten's body choked, and the skin on its cheeks under the fur, and even its furry ears, quickly turned red.
The kitten didn't react at all and just looked at her with a confused look.
He Qianqian pinched it maliciously and smiled with her eyebrows curved:
"If you can't get anyone to say anything even after you've squeezed me like this, then you must be a little male cat from the original beast."
The kitten didn't move, blushing and letting her continue to pinch it.
The deep blue cat's eyes looked at her intently and affectionately. The two soft pink paws gently touched He Qianqian's cheek and the soft pink tongue licked her nose.
It seems like she is acting coquettishly.
It is cute and adorable, has no lethality, and at first glance it is obviously a half-grown cub of the beast cat.
"Little guy, do you think of me as your mother?"
The kitten's body choked again, and it shook its head, twitching its whiskers and ears, and pursed its lips with a serious expression, as if expressing its opposition.
He struggled out of her hands, burrowed into her armpits, and curled up into a ball, refusing to show his face.
All that was left for her was her back and butt, and two furry little bells.
He Qianqian smelled him and there was no familiar smell on him.
I really don't know where he came from? I was thinking whether to send him away so that the female cat can find him easily.
The little guy actually started snoring.
He Qianqian couldn't help laughing: "She's such a scheming cat at such a young age. Can she fall asleep in the blink of an eye? She's really good at pretending to sleep.
You are lying! "
"Qianqian, who are you talking to?" Li Yan lifted the animal skin curtain and poked his head in.
"A kitten ran in." He Qianqian took the cat out of her arms and showed it to Li Yan.
Whoosh, the cat in his hand disappeared.
Just after entering the cave, Li Yan's eyes hadn't adjusted to the darkness yet. A white shadow passed by him and disappeared.
Both of them were stunned.
"How can a kitten be so fast?" Li Yan became alert, sniffing around and using his special abilities to explore the surroundings.
Got nothing.
He couldn't sense the white cat's special abilities. The original beast had no special abilities, but wasn't the original beast's speed a little too fast?
"Qianqian, are you okay?"
"It's okay. I slept for a long time before I found him. He's a half-grown kitten of the original beast. He won't hurt me."
"Yes. That's good. I'll fix the door as soon as possible so that wild cats can't get in."
He Qianqian put on her clothes and stood up to install the door panels with Li Yan.
The door panels are covered with animal skins to block the wind.
The gaps around the animal cave were also filled with mud mixed with chopped hay.
The two of them worked together to make a fence and install a fence gate.
Although fences can't keep out any animals, the yard looks much better after it's installed.
A large chopped tree stump, when placed firmly, can become a table.
It was already late, but He Qianqian still wanted to open a vegetable plot as it was the planting season for autumn radishes and cabbages.
"I understand how to dig the ground. Qianqian, go to sleep and leave the ground to me."
"Aren't you sleepy?" He Qianqian looked at him with her big cat eyes blinking.
The female's eyes were clear and pure, but they made Li Yan imagine a lot. His heart was burning with heat, and his blood suddenly rushed to that place, making him tense and ready to move.
But Li Yan had to hold back.
Qianqian is too thin, she needs to gain some weight.
"Take a shower before going to bed." He Qianqian yawned and went into the beast cave to take a shower.
Then he crawled into bed and fell into a deep sleep.
I don’t know when, I felt a cool body beside me.
Li Yan deliberately soaked in the river for a long time before he dared to run back to sleep.
But Qianqian's warm body immediately stuck to his neck and clung to him tightly. Li Yan's rationality accumulated throughout the night collapsed in a matter of seconds.
How could a young man of such hot blood hold back?
Inside the beast cave, the atmosphere soon became very lively.
Half an hour later, Li Yan gritted his teeth and ran out of the cave, closing the cave door tightly from the outside.
Under the bright blue moon, Li Yan transformed into four sharp claws and dug the ground diligently, not daring to think about anything else.
Lingye came at some point and was standing outside the fence.
"what are you doing?"
"I'm digging the ground. What are you doing here? We don't need any food. You don't need to send us any more meat."
"If you don't want to send me off, then don't. I'll help you." Ling Ye jumped over the high fence with ease. Without saying anything, he dug the ground like Li Yan.
Li Yan: "...Lingye, what are you doing?"
Lingye remained calm, his jaw tense as usual as he turned the ground. After a while he said, "Dig the ground."
"Qianqian said, this is my home with her.
Lingye, what are you doing here at Qianqian and I's house? "
