Chapter 211 Finally in bed
Grandma Tian nodded: "Okay, then Lin, you two get some rest." After saying that, she turned to Tian and said: "Tian, you have to take good care of your future partner."
Linni smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay."
Tian Tian went over and helped the old woman up, saying, "Grandma, don't worry, Tian Tian will definitely take good care of Lin."
Lin Ni and Yao, together with Tian Tian, saw the two elderly people out of the house. When Tian Tian's grandmother left, she took the little black and white bear that Tian Tian had been holding with her.
After watching Tian Tian's grandparents walk away, Tian Tian turned to Lin Ni and asked, "Lin, which room do you want to stay in?"
Linni thought for a moment, and Yao said from the side, "Shall we go take a look first?"
Lin Ni nodded, took Yao's arm, and held Yan's hand with her other hand. She first looked at all three rooms in the house. Actually, she had already looked at them before, but upon closer inspection, she noticed that the room behind the kitchen was larger, perhaps it could be considered the master bedroom? She pulled the two of them to look at a room next to it. The layout of that room was the same as this one, but it was smaller overall.
In the end, Linni decided to move back to the front room, as it was bigger and more comfortable. Yao suggested she choose the room on the right, which was further from the kitchen and wouldn't disturb her when everyone was cooking. Linni nodded in agreement, then said to Yao, "Yao, there's no bathroom here."
Every day, puzzled, she asked, "What is a toilet?"
Linni was a little embarrassed, so Yao spoke up for her, asking, "Where do the people in the tribe relieve themselves?"
Tian Tian nodded: "Oh, our tribe has centralized dry toilets."
Every day, Tian Tian took Lin Ni to the dry toilet in the tribe. The scene almost made Lin Ni throw up the bamboo rice she had eaten earlier. I won't go into details about the public toilet without water.
Then Linni demanded a hot bath, only to hear from Tiantian that the women in their tribe bathed in cold water from a spring on the mountaintop. They didn't like bathing, typically only once every four or five days in the summer and almost never in the winter. Linni… indeed, this was the Beastman Continent. All the beauty she had previously imagined was just a mirage! Distance truly makes the heart grow fonder.
Yao had Tian Tian fetch water and, together with Yan, cleaned Lin Ni's room again. He first boiled hot water for Lin Ni to drink, then went to find a large tree and made her a wooden cup so she could sit and slowly drink the hot water. Then he hollowed out the tree stump and made a large bathtub for Lin Ni, boiling warm water so she could bathe in the room behind the kitchen. While he was at it, he also washed and dried Lin Ni's clothes and put them aside for her to wear when she got up.
While Linni was taking a bath, Yan had already left the Bear Beast Tribe to go hunting.
Tian Tian took advantage of this time to go back to her old single dormitory and brought up all her belongings, as well as the two bamboo tubes of rice she had cooked that morning. By the time Lin Ni finished showering, Yao He had already made a bunch of pots and pans from the remaining tree stump.
Lin Ni looked at the pile of things, walked over and hugged Yao, who was still making spoons, from behind: "Yao, you've worked hard."
Yao turned around and kissed her: "They're just little things, it's not hard work."
Lin Ni rubbed against his back: "Bai and the others will probably bring them over. We won't be staying here for more than a few days, so you don't need to do it."
Yao said, "But there's nothing here. We can't eat bamboo rice every day. I'll make some meat soup later to go with the bamboo rice we ate this morning."
Linni said, "The broth made from dried meat doesn't taste good either."
Tian Tian said, "I'm going to get some meat from my mother. She still has some meat that was distributed a few days ago."
A few days ago? Lin Ni quickly shook her head: "No need, your mother is in labor, so don't trouble her." As she spoke, she yawned. She hadn't slept well for the past two days and had just taken a hot bath, so she was a little sleepy now.
Yao put down the spoon in his hand and said to Lin Ni, "If you're sleepy, go take a nap?"
Linni thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay." Linni stood up and glanced at the room. She didn't really want to sleep in that grass nest. Linni had always slept on animal hides before. Although the grass nest looked quite soft, the thought of grass clippings sticking to her skin made her reluctant.
Seeing that she was standing at the door without going in, Yao got up, brushed the sawdust off his clothes, and then went over to her: "What's wrong?"
Linni hugged Yao's arm and whispered, "I don't want to sleep in the grass."
Yao affectionately patted her head, then turned to Tiantian, who was also making wooden tableware, and said, "Tiantian, don't you have any animal hides?"
Tian Tian looked up and said, "I gave all the animal hides I made before to Mother..." He looked at Lin Ni and tentatively asked, "Lin wants to sleep on the animal hides?" After he finished speaking, he quickly got up: "I'll go find Mother to get them."
Linni immediately said, "No, don't go!"
I just arrived and my future mother-in-law, who has just given birth (or is giving birth?), is already asking me for this and that. It feels really bad.
Tian Tian said shyly, twisting her hands, "Lin, I'm sorry. I haven't been thinking about finding a partner yet, so I don't have anything. If you're worried about bothering my mother, how about I borrow some from my grandmother and pay her back next time I go hunting?"
Lin Ni waved her hand: "Never mind." She said to Yao: "Yao, make me a bed. Like a heated kang bed, and put it in the room."
"Okay." Yao nodded in agreement, went into the room to measure the size with his foot, and then came out and said to Lin Ni, "I'll do it now, but it won't be that quick. Do you want Tiantian to transform into his beast form and sleep on him for a while?"
Tian Tian was about to come over after hearing Yao's words when she saw Lin Ni shake her head and say, "No, I'll watch you do it."
Although she really liked Tiantian, she couldn't bring herself to sleep with him right after only knowing him for half a day.
Tian Tian was a little disappointed. She came over and rubbed against Lin Ni, saying, "Then I'll work with the boss so that Lin can sleep on the wooden bed soon."
Lin Ni nodded: "Okay." She sat on the wooden stool and watched Yao and Tian Tian working on the wood at the door.
Yao measured the dimensions on the wooden stake, then conjured a large red scythe and chopped out four large blocks of wood with a few swift strokes. He first heated the large blocks of wood with fire, then removed the bark, added four legs, and a single bed half a meter high and a little over a meter wide was finished. He had Tian Tian work on the other three large blocks of wood in the same way, while he carefully sanded the single bed to make sure there were no splinters or other uneven areas. He then slowly heated both sides with fire before carrying it into the room and placing it against the wall.
Lin Ni followed her inside and saw that Yao had placed the bed in the warm wood, so she sat down on it. The wooden bed was very comfortable to sit on.
Seeing Lin Ni's bright eyes crinkling with happiness, Yao asked, "You like it very much?"
Linni nodded: "Mmm!" After more than a year in the Beastman Continent, she was finally sleeping on a wooden bed!
