Chapter 80 Eat

Before the sun could even rise, Jiu Lin, Song Li, and Xin Hua are helping Jiu Hu and the rest to get all the wood for the new house. They also have other people's help.

They are now starting to build their homes. First, their Dad's home, so that Hu'er can go and live there. Then, they would turn Hu'er's floor to become a store place where they can put herbs, medicines, cures, and such.

When Hu'er is transferred already and the treatment house is done with everything that's when they can Hu'er's house. Only her future mates will build it. While building Hu'er house, Jiu Hu and the rest will start building the big storehouse and start creating a land where they can plant food for the patrols.

After Hu'er's house is built, their own house, Jiu Lin and her future mates' house will start building. Jiu Hu and the rest will be building other small houses and a house where they let their students live and study.

Qiang Li also plans to build a place to breed and take care of wild animals. Shun Su asked for his own place to weave and make other fabrics and such, which he also plans to do.

Everyone from Hu'er house will definitely be busy this whole season and maybe the next too.

The Tribe already knew about the physician choosing some cubs to be taught by them. They all want to try and let their cubs go. So now those cubs' dads are also helping them build their homes.

They now have a plan to get students. First, give them a book where there are one hundred different herbs drawings and information about it. They would be given two days to learn it and familiarize it.

On the third day, they will be tested. Whoever can remember sixty-five herbs will pass the first test.

The next test will be the smell of herbs. They will give the one hundred herbs that were in the boom and let them familiarize themselves with the smell. After ten days they will be tested. If they can remember and identify eighty herbs they will pass.

The physician will then choose who to teach from those who passed. However, it is not the end for others who can identify fifty to seventy-nine herbs. The physician will teach them basic first aid. How to stop the blood, what to do when someone is sick, drowning, etc.

They will start preparing for that once they finish their house. Min He and Shun Su will also help create and write the book. While others are preparing what kind of herbs they would use for the test.

Anyway, back to the present.

The sun is already rising, and Song Li and Jiu Lin went home to cook for Hu'er and all the beastmen who are helping them build the house. Xin Hua went out of the tribe with Qiang Li to hunt more wild animals and get some wild fruits and vegetables.

Ke Rin is still working as a physician, until now. He is checking all the females' health from the East side. Then, he will stay in a temporary house to wait for Midday to come. By midday his Dad will exchange shifts with him, that's when he can go home.

Shun Su is also working right now. He took the whole day working because the work from yesterday hasn't been done. When Shun Su went out to Hu'er house after giving gifts, instead of going home, he went to Tribe Leader's temporary house to sleep. It is so he can work early the next day.

Hu'er just woke up to Jiu Lin's call for her to eat. However, Hu'er could still remember her embarrassing moment yesterday and didn't speak.

Song Li who is also at the door called for her. "Come in," Hu'er muttered. She is sitting up when the door opens.

Hu'er rubbed her eyes and then dazedly looked at the table where Song Li and Jiu Lin were preparing her food. Song Li looks at Hu'er and feels he is so cute.

"How's your sleep Hu'er?" Song Li gently asked.

Hu'er looked up and stared at Song Li. She blinks. Her mind seems to be foggy and she wanted to sleep and just eat. Then, after eating she wants to sleep. Her mind keeps on repeating that. She felt it was odd.

Song Li chuckles, "Are you still asleep?"

Hu'er blinks and finally shakes her head. "I'll eat." Then she began eating.

Jiu Lin looks at her worried. "Did you stay up all night?" Last time this happened Hu'er didn't sleep and was too excited to go out or have fun somewhere. 

Hu'er just hmped and continues to eat. Jiu Lin was too stunned to react.

Song Li looks at them confused. "Hu'er? Is there anything wrong?"

Hu'er stops, "None. Just hungry and sleepy."

"Eh? Still sleepy? Did you stay up all night when you heard I will be living in your tribe?" Song Li's eyes are shining. It's free to dream after all.

Hu'er yawned. "I slept early."

"You might be just growing then…" Jiu Lin muttered. But Hu'er didn't look at him nor give any reaction. She just ate.

Jiu Lin can now confirm that Hu'er is ignoring him. Song Li also realizes it and looks at Jiu Lin.

"I'll get some juice," Jiu Lin got out. He actually wanted to think about what he did to make her angry again.

Song Li was left with Hu'er. He starts teasing and annoying her. She can only glare at Song Li to make him stop. Song Li finally sat down and behaved himself.

Jiu Lin came back with juice. Gave it to Hu'er and signaled Song Li to go out. Song Li pouted. He didn't want to go out. But Jiu Lin glared at him for too long. Song Li glares back and sighs. He rolled his eyes at Jiu Lin before standing up. "I'll go and call Xin Hua."

Hu'er nodded at him. Xin Hua will go and bring her to the Old Grandmom's house as she still has a lesson to take.
