Lin Mu and Patrik entered the tribe leaderās tent and saw the old man drinking tea. Of course, this tea is only available after Lin Mu came to their tribe. āTribe leader Moss, I have something to discuss with you.ā
When the Tribe leader Moss saw Lin Mu and his partner, he greeted them with a smile and invited them to come in. Lin Muās 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.
āWhat do you want to tell me?ā 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.
āItās about building a wooden house.ā After Lin Mu saw the puzzled look on Tribe leader Mossās 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 canāt 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 couldnāt 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, āLin Mu, you are such a kind and good boy ah.ā
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 donāt 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 tribesā life is relatively comfortable. Although the sea beasts are very dangerous, but for those who hunt in the sea all year round, itās still fine. It may be difficult for them to fight with the sea beasts, they still escape from them with no problem.
Lin Muās suggestion is to build a wooden house to see first, and then they can build another wooden house based on it if thereās 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 withĀ tung oil. It is moisture-proof and anti-corrosion, which is very good.
They discoveredĀ tung treesĀ 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 couldnāt help but look forward to the future.
Lisa stood beside Lin Mu and sighed, āTo be able to live in such a good place, itās so nice.ā 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, āThis 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!ā\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 didnāt 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 canāt 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, āYou will always be friends of our Hayes tribe. We welcome you to come to our tribe at any time.ā
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 Patrikās beast form, āWe will come to play when we have time.ā
Flying high in the sky and looking at the people waving farewell on the island below, Lin Mu said to Patrik, āLetās go home.ā
The people on the island only disperse after Lin Muās figure cannot be seen anymore. To be honest, they know about the existence of the drifter beastmen. So when they saw Patrikās 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.
ā¦
On this day, Lin Mu sat on Patrikās body and flew in the air. Looking at the little Wu Fan who is asleep in his arms, he couldnāt 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, āLetās find a place to rest. The sunlight is too strong!ā
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 Muās face has turned red from the sun, and touched Lin Muās face distressedly. He asked, āDoes it hurt?ā
Lin Mu held Patrikās hand and stared at this man who felt sorry for him. Smiling, he replied, āIām fine, just felt hot. It doesnāt hurt.ā
Patrik quickly took out some water to give Lin Mu a drink, and then asked, āArenāt you tired? Do you want to take a break?ā\nLin Mu smiled, āIāve been sitting on you all the time. Itās you who are flying, why would I feel tired? Here, drink some water too.ā As he said, Lin Mu handed the bamboo tube containing water to Patrikās 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 wasnāt for the lack of water, Lin Mu would like to wipe Wu Fanās 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, āAlthough it is not time for lunch, you should have some first after flying for so long.ā
āHow about you? Are you hungry?ā
Lin Mu shook his head. It is too hot, he doesnāt have much appetite to eat.
āIāll just eat a fruit.ā
Patrik nodded. He knew Lin Muās 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 suddenlyā¦
āBear bear! Bear bearā¦ā Little Wu Fanās voice sounded very cheerful.
Lin Mu followed the little guyās gaze, and saw a little brown bear happily running over, āRick?ā Little bears generally looked alike, Lin Mu doesnāt know if itās the one they met before, so he looked inquiringly at Patrik.
Patrik nodded, āItās that little guy. Itās him, but I donāt sense Tru nearby.ā
āThis little guy should have run out randomly.ā
As the pair are talking, Little Bear Rick had already run to Wu Fanās side. Little Wu Fan is obviously delighted to see Rick, and he laughed happily. Then the little bear jumped directly on Little Wu Fanās 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 Patrikās 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, āFly fly, I want to fly fly too.ā
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\nāWe should not be able to rush back to the tribe before the rainy season.ā
Lin Mu heard Patrikās words and fell into deep thoughts.
Tru looked at them and suggested to Patrik, āI think you should look for a cave nearby. It is very dangerous to travel with Lin Mu and your child in the rainy season.ā
Lin Mu looked at Patrik and saw that he is also thinking about what to do. After thinking about it, he said to Patrik, āLetās go back to the basin ground, itās only 2 days away.ā
Hearing what Lin Mu said, Patrik understood what he is thinking. As for why he didnāt 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 Muās idea. Just as he expected, Lin Mu smiled and said to Tru, āTru, you guys should come with us.ā
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 Muās invitation. If they were to stay together, they would be relatively safer.
Now that the decision is made, Lin Mu happily announced, āWe 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.ā
ā¦
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, āLetās build a house there.ā
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 couldnāt 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.
āTo celebrate the completion of the house, I have decided to make a good meal tonight!ā 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 Muās cooking skills will not object.
