Lin Mu rolled on the bed in boredom. There is no entertainment in this world; no internet, no games, no novels. Now itâs the rainy season, and he canât go out. For Phil and the rest, they are still alright, as they can spend the time making clothes. But he is really incompetent in making clothes; hence he can choose to give up in the end. Every day, he only ate and sleep, Lin Mu felt that he was too sinful. He was a bit envious of Lal. At least Lal could pull Cohen to go out with him for hunting when he is bored. Although he often snatched peopleâs task to do, he is always joyful.
On the other hand, Sasha is also someone who could entertain himself, so envious. As long as he has food with him, and someone to accompany him, he can comfortably enjoy the day. Come to think about it, the two little ones Casso and Qiuqiu, seems to be mysteriously disappeared every day. Lin Mu sighed boringly in bed, it appeared that he is the only bored person in the whole tribe.
All of a sudden, Lin Mu sat up; startling Sasha. Phil and Lais were much calmer. Facing the situation where Lin Mu will act abnormal every day, only Sasha would cooperatively show a startled expression.
Lin Mu snatched a grape and threw it into his mouth. âI need to find something to do.â
As soon as Lin Mu finished his words, other people couldnât help showing black lines on their face1. Because Lin Mu has said this more than once.
For example, the day before yesterday:
He suddenly thought that he should make some gloves. Because during autumn, they will need to go out to find food. They must wear some gloves to protect their hands. However, Lin Muâs needlework was really bad, but he still wants to challenge the difficulty of making all ten fingers. In the end, the only finished product from Lin Mu could barely fit any fingers. Phil and the rest simply couldnât believe the fact that none of the ten fingers was wearable, and also why Lin Mu has this patience to continue. But they do feel that gloves are very convenient, so they added making gloves to their list of things to do. Although the beastmen may not need it, the females would still make one for their own beastman since they are making it. Of course, Lin Mu, whose handiwork is too bad, is also a part of their task. So, in the end, Lin Mu found himself unemployed, nothing to do.
Like the day before yesterday:
Finding out that his work is now getting done by someone else, Lin Mu felt that he should find other stuff to do. So, he brainstormed a bit and thought of the beastman walking around in bare feet. Although he still has a pair of sneakers, he believes that his sneakersâ death is not very far away. Now that he is free, he has decided to make himself a pair of shoes. After some considerations, Lin Mu finally decided to make boots; itâs simple enough, convenient and warm.\nMaking boots with shorter length will make it suitable for autumn wear. How convenient, he applauded himself in his heart. Then, he started working on it. For the soles, although Lin Mu wants to sew his own soles like those rural girls in the 1970s and 1980s, but looking at his hands, Lin Mu decided not to trouble himself so much. Hence, he thought to pair some wooden boards with sturdy animal skins. If one feels uncomfortable after wearing it, they can add insoles. With this idea in mind, Lin Mu spent the whole morning making a pair of wooden soles. However, the upper part got him struggling.
Because of Lin Mu, everyone got their ancient version of flip-flops, so right now they are quite interested in watching Lin Mu make shoes. After all, the weather will gradually become cold after the rainy season, and flip-flops wonât be suitable then. So, they waited until they saw Lin Mu stopped while holding a needle.
Seeing that, Phil couldnât help asking, âLin Mu, why arenât you continuing?â
Lin Mu looked at him in embarrassment, âI suddenly remembered that I donât know how to cut the upper part.â
A few people looked at him, speechless.
Lais took the unfinished product with a smile. âTell me more, Iâll do it for you.â
And so Lin Muâs job is once again gone. Although he finally got the first pair of boots ever made in the beastman era, he didnât have any sense of accomplishment at all.
Next, yesterday:\nRobbed of his job in making shoes by Phil again, Lin Mu felt that he couldnât work with them or one of them will take over his tasks. So Lin Mu went to the main hall, decided to clean it. However, the main hall was clean, and everything was cleaned up. These were done by those beastman who were lazing in the main hall. In the end, Lin Mu came to the storeroom in depression, wanting to sort out the stored items.
Watching Lin Mu trying to find something to do, Patrik smiled and shook his head. In his heart, he wished that the rainy season would pass quickly; otherwise, Lin Mu wouldnât know what it would be like.
Lin Mu squatted in the storage room, staring at the neatly placed things, depressed, âWhy are you people so hardworking?!â
Lin Mu couldnât understand, he wasnât this active before this. Was it because he transmigrated to another world, and turned into someone who would be uncomfortable if he didnât do anything for a day? He thought of the things he would have done in the previous world if he encountered such a continuous rainy day. Sleep, go online, read novels, learn to cook, just thinking about it, he felt like he has endless things to do. And what can he do in this world? Go to bed? He wakes up every day when the sun is up in the sky, and he is not a sleeping god, he canât sleep forever. As for food, he also wants to make good food, but the materials are really limited. He doesnât even have chillis for hot pot. Thinking of chilli, every time the beastman went out to hunt, Lin Mu would tell them to pick any pointy red vegetable back. They brought back many red and pointy vegetables, but none of them is chilli. Lin Mu couldnât be sure if the chilis have also become mutants, otherwise, why canât anyone find them?
Lin Mu glanced down at the contents of the room in a low mood, then his eyes brightened when he touched the high pile of thatch. âHeheâŚâ Lin Mu smiled mischievously.
Beside him, Patrik shook his head.
Lin Mu came to the pile of thatch and rubbed his hands. âI was going to move you after the rainy season, but Iâm uncomfortable now. Anyway, it will be a hectic day after the rainy season, so it is good to do it now.â
The reason why they stored so much thatch and didnât use it as firewood material is because Lin Mu want to use it to make mattresses. He wants to enjoy a warm winter, and naturally, he had to consider the issue of keeping warm. Lin Mu felt that the effects of those animal skins are too limited, and they wouldnât be able to complete Lin Muâs great desire to nest in winter.
Winter nest, one just feel warm when they think about it. Obviously, the current conditions cannot meet the requirements. Lin Mu naturally has to find ways to make it happen. The first thing he thought of was to make his bed thicker. With thatch, they wonât waste so much animal skins.
Lin Mu rolled up his sleeves and started moving. Patrik, who had been following him, said he wanted to help but was kicked out. Lin Mu looked at the pile of thatch and crossed his arms across his chest. He laughed and said, âWhat a joke, I just found something to do, how can I let you rob me of it?â
Lin Mu is not in a hurry, so he can do it slowly. There are some days before the rainy season end anyway, he is in no hurry.
Lal passed by at that moment. He was also bored out of his mind, but he didnât want to go out to hunt today. It didnât feel good to be rained on, and that guy will take advantage of him as well. In fact, if he hates being taken advantage by Cohen, he can totally choose not to go out with Cohen. Although Cohen will be following closely behind, Lal still can run away if he wished to. But he rejected the possibility of him being alone. So, does that means he like being taken advantage of by Cohen? Or really like it? Or⌠like it?
Their area for activity is not large, Lal was turning around boringly when he saw Lin Mu. Lal wondered why Lin Mu is messing up the pile of grass that has been packed nicely. So he asked, âLin Mu, what are you doing?â
Lin Mu didnât even give him a look. âMaking mattress.â
âWhat is it for?â
âI said mattress, of course, itâs for the bed2.â
Lal nodded. âWhat a strange name. Shouldnât it be more appropriate to call it pad bed?â
Lin Mu gave him a âYouâre an idiotâ look, then returned his attention to check if he has enough black rattan.
Lal didnât mind Lin Muâs look. He smiled next to Lin Mu and asked, âWhat can I do to help?â\nLin Mu raised his head and smiled softly at him. âOf course, thereâs something you do. Turn your head now, then go straight. Go out the door, turn right, then go straight a few steps, and then on your right hand side, there is a room with a bed. After you lie down, you close your eyes and then ⌠there is no âthenâ.â
After hearing that much, Lal finally responded, âYou are asking me to go to sleep.â
Lin Mu pushed him out and said, âYeah, thatâs right. What a great thing to sleep, go and do it quickly.â
âIâm not going to bed, I want to help.â Lal stood still, and Lin Mu couldnât push him away.
The moment Patrik came out of his room, he saw Lin Mu and Lal pulling at each other. (Patrik, your understanding is a bit offâŚ)3 He has just left the storage for a while, and Lal dropped by to âmake use of every second and every inchâ. Patrik felt that he has to talk to Cohen.
The beastâs instinct in Lal made him shiver in a cold sweat. He thought to himself, âWho is scheming against me?â He looked around, but he didnât see Cohen ah.
âWhy canât you go, why do you always have to help? I donât need it.â
Lal leaned at the door frame with both hands. âI need it.â Then he looked at Lin Mu pitifully, âIâm too free.â
Lin Mu retorted, âYou can go hunting.â
âI donât want to today.â Today happens to be Cohen on duty to hunt, so he(L) can be at ease for a while. But he felt dull being alone.
Lin Mu sighed, and Patrik came over.
âMu Mu, let him do it if he wants to.â
Lal is happy, as expected of his boss, he(P) still thinks for him. But why did he felt that his bossâs eyes were cold when he spoke just now? Illusion, it must be an illusion.
Lal is happy, but Lin Mu is not. He was robbed of his job again, from hands-on to coaching. Although his status sounded high, Lin Mu does not feel good. But Patrik has spoken, so itâs not good for him to not give Patrik some faces. He is now a tribe leader, after all.
Lin Mu glanced at Lal in dissatisfaction, but it has no lethal effect on Lal.
âBeastmanâs face is the thickest.â Lin Mu thought to himself, his face puffed into a bun, âCome here, Iâll tell you what to do.â
Lalâs comprehension ability is excellent. Although it was a little messy in the beginning, but Lal managed to get the feel quickly. At this moment, Lin Mu changed from being a coach to being unemployed. After Lin Mu got his first mattress, his work was taken over by the idle beastmen, which also signalled that the errand he tried so hard to create is gone.
Now back to the moment of the gang showing black lines on their face.
Phil persuaded, âLin Mu, I havenât finished the shoes yet.â The implication is you donât have to find something to do first, I have no way to help you now.
\nAfter pouring the sauce on the fried fish fillet and mixing it with chopsticks, Lin Mu gave some to Matt. Then Lin Mu and Sasha each brought a bowl to Laisâs room. As soon as they entered the room, Phil could smell that sweet and sour taste. Sasha kindly picked one and fed it to him. Then he(S) smiled while anticipating Philâs reaction.
Lin Mu is responsible for giving Lais a taste. Both of their eyes brightened after eating.
âLin Mu, you havenât done this before. What is this? Itâs delicious!â Phil commented while eating from Sashaâs bowl.
âSweet and sour, the taste is very special.â Lais ate from Lin Muâs bowl.
Sasha chewed the fish in his mouth and helped to answer, âThis is the sweet and sour fish fillet. Lin Mu said that he will make sweet and sour fish for everyone at noon. Isnât it delicious?â
Phil nodded.
âLin Mu, if you are bored in the future, you can make this.â Sasha sincerely suggested.
Misha5Â and Lais nodded in approval.
Lin Mu gave the three6Â a bright smile and the smile instantly faded away, âYou wish.â
They laughed.
The night comes as usual.
Lin Mu was lying comfortably in Patrikâs arms. âI wonder when the rainy season will pass.â
âSoon.â Patrik understands that Lin Mu is feeling stuffy being stuck in the room, but he doesnât dare to take him out.
Lin Mu felt that merely saying itâs around 20 days, people should be more specific. Then they will be able to count the days. Right now, it seems to be 11 days already.
âIn fact, a longer rainy season is better. We are well-rested, and the animals are also getting fattened up. That way, our winter food will be relatively rich.â
Lin Mu nodded. âThe vegetable Iâm looking for must also be well grown. They are waiting for me to pick them, so they wonât be sad about being useless.â
âPlants wonât get sad.â
Lin Mu threatened with narrowed eyes. âThey will be sad.â
Patrik nodded. âEn, they are waiting for you in sadness.â
