Lin Mu and Patrik entered the tribe leaderâs tent and saw the old man drinking tea. Of course, this tea is only available after Lin Mu came to their tribe. âTribe leader Moss, I have something to discuss with you.â
When the Tribe leader Moss saw Lin Mu and his partner, he greeted them with a smile and invited them to come in. Lin Muâs arrival has brought a lot of delicacies to their tribe. For example, the tea that he likes to drink is made by Lin Mu. Thinking about the other foods, he is, no doubt, happy to meet Lin Mu.
âWhat do you want to tell me?â Moss took out some fruits to entertain the guest. But of course, only Lin Mu likes to eat fruits, so it is obvious who Moss is biased to.
âItâs about building a wooden house.â After Lin Mu saw the puzzled look on Tribe leader Mossâs face, he then explained about the wooden house.
The more Moss listened, the excited he becomes. His eyes brightened at first, and then he smiled until his eyes cannot be seen. He simply canât believe it but felt delighted at the same time that they will live be able to stay in such a house in their tribe. Moss wanted to thank Lin Mu the most, he couldnât imagine how many people will be willing to pass on this important skill to other tribes.
When they finished talking about how to organize the manpower and other house-building matters, tribe leader Moss stroked his beard and said, âLin Mu, you are such a kind and good boy ah.â
Lin Mu smiled embarrassedly and said nothing.
The next day, everyone started moving to build a house. Towards this wooden house they heard about, the entire tribe is looking forward to the day of completion.
Their tribe is called the Hayes tribe, which is one of the ocean tribes. Its size is only considered to be medium. Due to the ocean is large and there are many islands on the sea, the ocean tribes donât have competition between them for the right of island residence. As for food supply, the ocean is so big, whoever has the ability to hunt in the sea will naturally have food, and there is enough food for them in this sea. Therefore, the ocean tribesâ life is relatively comfortable. Although the sea beasts are very dangerous, but for those who hunt in the sea all year round, itâs still fine. It may be difficult for them to fight with the sea beasts, they still escape from them with no problem.
Lin Muâs suggestion is to build a wooden house to see first, and then they can build another wooden house based on it if thereâs no problem with the first one.
They have enough people in the tribe and the efficiency of the construction is amazing. So, the house is built in just 3 days. The wooden house Lin Mu asked them to build is the traditional type where everything is made of wood; like the floor, wall, and roof. The wooden boards used to build the house are brushed with tung oil. It is moisture-proof and anti-corrosion, which is very good.
They discovered tung trees when they went out to play on the outer islands. There are a lot of tung trees on that island, and the seeds are very large. Thinking of tung oil, Lin Mu tried to extract the oil from the seed. Although the oil yield rate is not high due to the manual process, the seeds are big enough and available in a large amount. Hence, they managed to get enough oil to coat the house.
After the house is built, people in the tribe gathered around to watch and sighed in admiration. Thinking that they would be able to stay in such a building, they couldnât help but look forward to the future.
Lisa stood beside Lin Mu and sighed, âTo be able to live in such a good place, itâs so nice.â His York has helped to build the house so Lisa went into the house and looked around. He felt that it would be a nice experience to stay in one, and Lisa thinks he should get York to build their house as soon as possible. It is best if they can move into the new house before the rainy season. Of course, he is confident that they could achieve that. His York is very capable, he has always known that.
Wen Ni leaned against his partner, âThis house is really good. I feel happy to think that we can live in this kind of house in the future. Lin Mu and his tribe are so amazing, they can invent a house like this!â\n
Fony agrees with his partner and admires Lin Mu and their tribe in his heart.
As for the little guys in the tribe, they are running and playing in the wooden house right now. The structure of the wooden house is simple. Upon entering the house, one can see the living room. There is a room on each side of the living room. The space in the wooden house is large, which is convenient for the beastmen.
The tribespeople gathered around Lin Mu and thanked him for teaching them the skills of building a house. They gave their gratitude from the deepest of their heart. Lin Mu really didnât know how to deal with this situation and everyone is so enthusiastic. Fortunately, the tribe leader saved him in time. Then, Lin Mu immediately pulled Patrik and ran away from the encirclement. Next, Lin Mu taught the people how to make beds and cabinets and finally, informed them about his leave.
The people in the Hayes tribe felt reluctant to part with Lin Mu and his family, but they canât keep them as Lin Mu wanted to go back before the rainy season starts. So, they can only wave goodbye in the end.
Tribe leader Moss said to Patrik, âYou will always be friends of our Hayes tribe. We welcome you to come to our tribe at any time.â
Lin Mu also felt a bit sad about the parting, but he missed his friends in the tribe and missed his home as well.
Waving goodbye to the people in the tribe, Lin Mu hugged the sad little Wu Fan and sat on Patrikâs beast form, âWe will come to play when we have time.â
Flying high in the sky and looking at the people waving farewell on the island below, Lin Mu said to Patrik, âLetâs go home.â
The people on the island only disperse after Lin Muâs figure cannot be seen anymore. To be honest, they know about the existence of the drifter beastmen. So when they saw Patrikâs beast form, they realized that Patrik is the drifter beastman they had heard of. But for a drifter beastman who had his own partner and children, they only see Patrik as a kind person. Yes, even with the saying that drifter beastman is citizens abandoned by beast god, but in their eyes, kindness is kindness. Moreover, the tribespeople has never seen the beast god before. Whether drifter beastman is really abandoned or not, who knows. The people in the Hayes tribe are more direct with their beliefs. They believe what they see. A harmless person will not become evil just by being labeled as a drifter beastman.
âŚ
On this day, Lin Mu sat on Patrikâs body and flew in the air. Looking at the little Wu Fan who is asleep in his arms, he couldnât help sighing. Little Wu Fan was dejected about leaving his little friend. Lin Mu coaxed him and said that they are going home, and he will meet a lot of people when they go home. Then he can also make new friends there. Apart from that, Lin Mu said will take him to the Hayes tribe when they have time. When that time comes, he will be able to see Yin Yao and the others again. Although the little guy stopped crying, he was still unhappy after a few days. Lin Mu has to think about how to make his baby becomes happy again. Alas, raising a child is really not easy.
After flying for more than 10 days, Lin Mu felt that the sunlight today is too harsh, so he said to Patrik, âLetâs find a place to rest. The sunlight is too strong!â
Patrik felt uncomfortable too under this kind of exposure. Thinking that Lin Mu is more afraid of the sun than him, Patrik swiftly flew into the woods. After placing the blanket, he gently put down the little Wu Fan. Patrik saw that Lin Muâs face has turned red from the sun, and touched Lin Muâs face distressedly. He asked, âDoes it hurt?â
Lin Mu held Patrikâs hand and stared at this man who felt sorry for him. Smiling, he replied, âIâm fine, just felt hot. It doesnât hurt.â
Patrik quickly took out some water to give Lin Mu a drink, and then asked, âArenât you tired? Do you want to take a break?â\nLin Mu smiled, âIâve been sitting on you all the time. Itâs you who are flying, why would I feel tired? Here, drink some water too.â As he said, Lin Mu handed the bamboo tube containing water to Patrikâs mouth to feed him water.
After the two sweetly drank the water, they sat down and chatted softly, until that they heard the sound of Wu Fan waking up. Lin Mu looked at the little guy who is rubbing his eyes and he wiped his face with a soaked towel to make him sober. If it wasnât for the lack of water, Lin Mu would like to wipe Wu Fanâs body so that he would feel more comfortable.
Since the baby is awake, Lin Mu feeds him some coconut milk. Compared to plain water, the little guy prefers this instead. Then he took out the snacks like dried fish that he made and let little Wu Fan eat by himself. After serving the young, Lin Mu went to take care of the adult. Taking out the grilled meat leftover in the morning, Lin Mu handed it to Patrik and said, âAlthough it is not time for lunch, you should have some first after flying for so long.â
âHow about you? Are you hungry?â
Lin Mu shook his head. It is too hot, he doesnât have much appetite to eat.
âIâll just eat a fruit.â
Patrik nodded. He knew Lin Muâs appetite, so while eating, Patrik thought about what food he would bring back later.
As Lin Mu is eating fruit, he paid attention to Wu Fan who is eating obediently by himself. The family of 3 is resting quietly when suddenlyâŚ
âBear bear! Bear bearâŚâ Little Wu Fanâs voice sounded very cheerful.
Lin Mu followed the little guyâs gaze, and saw a little brown bear happily running over, âRick?â Little bears generally looked alike, Lin Mu doesnât know if itâs the one they met before, so he looked inquiringly at Patrik.
Patrik nodded, âItâs that little guy. Itâs him, but I donât sense Tru nearby.â
âThis little guy should have run out randomly.â
As the pair are talking, Little Bear Rick had already run to Wu Fanâs side. Little Wu Fan is obviously delighted to see Rick, and he laughed happily. Then the little bear jumped directly on Little Wu Fanâs body and licked him.
Lin Mu only finds it amusing to look at. The main thing is Rick is in his bear form. The scene where Rick licks little Wu Fan looked like a puppy licking its owner, so Lin Mu felt nothing. But it is different in Patrikâs eyes. This little guy is a beastman, and his little female is being taken advantage of by a beastman. Patrik narrowed his eyes dangerously, then picked up the bear and threw it out. Dare to take advantage of my son, you are seeking death!
When the little bear got thrown away, Wu Fan thought his father is playing a game. Clapping his hands happily, Wu Fan said to his father, âFly fly, I want to fly fly too.â
Tru arrived just in time to see his son hit the tree beside him. He looked at his son and the little female. Alright, he understood what happened.\n\nâWe should not be able to rush back to the tribe before the rainy season.â
Lin Mu heard Patrikâs words and fell into deep thoughts.
Tru looked at them and suggested to Patrik, âI think you should look for a cave nearby. It is very dangerous to travel with Lin Mu and your child in the rainy season.â
Lin Mu looked at Patrik and saw that he is also thinking about what to do. After thinking about it, he said to Patrik, âLetâs go back to the basin ground, itâs only 2 days away.â
Hearing what Lin Mu said, Patrik understood what he is thinking. As for why he didnât say to go to the Hayes tribe instead, Patrik knows that Lin Mu has always liked the basin ground. Looking at Tru and the little bear beside him, Patrik guesses that the father and son pair should be also part of the reasons.
Patrik nodded and agreed with Lin Muâs idea. Just as he expected, Lin Mu smiled and said to Tru, âTru, you guys should come with us.â
Lin Mu sent an invitation to Tru. He really likes the little bear. Moreover, Tru is a kind person, so he is willing to help them.
Tru naturally agreed to Lin Muâs invitation. If they were to stay together, they would be relatively safer.
Now that the decision is made, Lin Mu happily announced, âWe will take a break now and set off after lunch. Next, we will have to work harder. We must reach the basin ground as soon as possible.â
âŚ
Standing on the upper part of the basin ground, Lin Mu looked at the lush greenery below. He took a closer look, then pointed to a flat place and said, âLetâs build a house there.â
The concept of the house was introduced to Tru by Lin Mu during these days they travel to the basin ground. After being surprised, amazement followed behind. He couldnât imagine that there is such a good thing called a house.
The following days, everyone is busy with their task. Cutting down the trees, putting the newly cut trees on the open space, peeling off the bark, and exposing them to the hot sun, then use them when the roof is built. Next, they collected stones and cleaned them up for later use. After everything is ready, the next step is to lay the foundation.
Naturally, Lin Mu is not idle either. Cooking is his job. Then he cuts grasses, weaves straw mats, rattan mats, and stockpiles food by the way. The basin ground is really rich in plants, and Lin Mu found a lot of things that can be used.
Being busy is expected, but even in such weather where it would occasionally rain, Patrik and Tru still managed to make the 2 big beds they need. Finally, it took them 10 days to build the house. Looking at the two-bedroom and one-living room house, it feels really good. The living room doubles as a kitchen, while the 2 rooms are for each of the family. Lin Mu and his family of three will stay in the room on the right.
âTo celebrate the completion of the house, I have decided to make a good meal tonight!â Being busy for many days, they did not eat any good things. Now that the house is built, they will proceed to treat their stomachs. As for good food, anyone who fell for Lin Muâs cooking skills will not object.
