Chapter 31

After settling the matters in the village, Fu Rui followed Li to the bamboo forest.

“Wu, wuwu…”

Upon hearing this sound, Fu Rui couldn’t help but flash a strange expression.

Wasn’t that the sound of a chicken?

After searching around and seeing the strange creature mentioned by Li, he couldn’t help but laugh.

It was indeed a chicken!

However, it was not a modern chicken, but a primitive chicken that lived in the wilderness.

Compared to domestic chickens, it was smaller and thinner. However, correspondingly, since their bodies were lighter, they had certain flying abilities and were difficult to catch.

As relevant information surfaced in his mind, Fu Rui could already confirm that this was a chicken that lived in the primitive era.

“We’re in for a treat.”

Fu Rui smiled and put his arm around Li’s shoulder. Chicken was the representative of white meat, and it had a large amount of taurine and vitamins. Moreover, the taste of chicken soup was first-rate, and it was an essential soup for many delicacies.

Just thinking about it made him drool.

Li glared at him before looking at the chicken in the bamboo forest. “Are you going to catch it?”

“Of course.” Fu Rui smiled and said, “Isn’t the tribe making bows and arrows now? Actually, we can add a feather at the tail of the arrows to increase their accuracy and stability. We can make do with the feathers of this chicken.”

“Should I call them over?”

Li calmly pushed away his hand that was placed on her chest and pursed his lips, saying, “This time, I asked the few people who are accompanying us to prepare bows and arrows.”

“You guys haven’t started making bows and arrows, right? Where did you get them?”

“We got the ones you placed in the corner of your room. I tried polishing and assembling them. They should be usable.”

Fu Rui gave her a thumbs up. “My Li, you’re awesome.”

Li instantly looked pleased. “How is it? Do you want to take a look?”

“Sure, just treat it as training.”

Li immediately produced a long whistle. Then, seven or eight beast-eared females walked out of the nearby forest and gathered in front of them.

Fu Rui pointed at the chicken and warned, “This kind of bird has a crown on its head. In other words, the ones with red balls are roosters. You can kill them as you wish. If the creature doesn’t have a crown, don’t kill them. Those are hens that you can tame. You should think of a way to capture them.”

As he spoke, he thought for a while and said, “Try your best to catch it. If you can’t catch it, don’t force yourself. I’ll let you guys use the net in my hand first. When the time comes, if there’s any disturbance nearby, immediately return to the village. You can give up on everything else, but you must protect yourself well.”

The beast-eared females couldn’t help but feel touched as they listened to him. Then, they said in unison, “Yes!”

Unknowingly, Fu Rui had gained a certain amount of prestige in the tribe. The beast-eared females already obeyed him.

Then, they began hunting the rooster.

One by one, the scantily clad beast-eared females took their bows and drew their bowstrings towards their full chests, forming lines on their clothes that made Fu Rui very excited.

Some of their irregular movements even caused the bowstring to pull down the cloth covering their chests after they fired their arrows, giving Fu Rui a glimpse of their intimate parts.

The arrows formed elegant arcs in the sky and landed accurately on the empty ground, scaring the rooster into scurrying around.

However, they weren’t discouraged and didn’t even bother with their clothes anymore. Once again, they nocked their bows and shot at the same time.

Seeing their actions, Fu Rui didn’t want to leave.

Li was acutely aware that Fu Rui’s gaze was not on the bows and arrows. Thus, she couldn’t help but ask faintly, “How is it? Does it look good?”

“It looks good…”

Fu Rui felt that something was wrong as soon as he said these three words. He faced the gaze of Li, who seemed like she wanted to eat him up, and coughed lightly. “Of course, it’s not as good-looking as you.”

“Hmph.”

Li struggled out of his embrace. “Go back quickly. I’ll keep an eye on them.”

Fu Rui raised his eyebrows. “Oh, are you jealous?”

Li rolled her eyes and ignored him.

“I’m telling the truth. Li’s figure is better than everyone else in the village combined.”

Fu Rui looked at her ambiguously. “If you become a mother, you’ll definitely spoil the child.”

Li blushed at the look in his eyes. “What are you talking about…”

Then, she paused for a moment before asking, “Is that true?”

“Let me feel it.”

Fu Rui laughed out loud. He placed his hand on her chest and kneaded her breasts heavily before giving a neutral answer. “Really.”

Li was going to hit him.

Fu Rui immediately fled. “You stay here. We should split up. You collect the feather materials, while I’ll go find the venom.”

“Be careful, don’t get bitten by poisonous creatures,” said Li with concern.

Fu Rui waved his hand with a smile and disappeared into the forest.

However, he wasn’t in a hurry to find the venom. Instead, he returned to the village and checked Yuan over there.

After training them to weave straw sandals yesterday, their efficiency had increased significantly today.

While he was away, Yuan had already brought Tu Tu and the other rabbit-eared girls to prepare a pair of straw sandals for everyone in the village.

At the same time, everyone had a spare pair of sandals.

“How’s the situation with the bows and arrows?” Fu Rui asked.

“Oh, Li let Xia handle it. Rui, you should go to the village’s notice board.”

Fu Rui nodded and picked up a hunting net.

“Are you free now?”

“Lord Village Chief, if you have anything to say, just say it. We will do our best,” said the rabbit-eared girl at the side.

Yuan nodded repeatedly.

“The grids of this net have to be denser. Can it be improved?”

Fu Rui then stated his request.

“Yes.” Tu Tu mustered up the courage to say this, then lowered her head shyly.

Fu Rui smiled and said, “Come, Tu Tu, let me see how you improve a grid.”

Tu Tu was slightly uneasy, but when she saw Fu Rui’s warm gaze of encouragement, courage suddenly arose in her heart. She nodded heavily before taking the net in Fu Rui’s hand and immediately started to improve it.

Now that Fu Rui’s house was filled with materials, she didn’t need to go out. Instead, she directly took the materials from inside the house.

Before long, a much finer grid appeared before Fu Rui.

He was very satisfied and said loudly, “With Tu Tu’s improved grid as the standard, I still need ten more of such nets. Can you complete them by tomorrow morning?”

“Yes!” Yuan raised her hand and promised.

“Alright, if there’s anything you don’t know, ask Tu Tu. Let’s work hard together!”

“Yes, Lord Village Chief!”

They quickly got busy and asked Tu Tu for advice.

Meanwhile, Fu Rui left the place quietly. When he passed by the notice board, he took a look. There were dozens of beast-eared girls studying and making bows and arrows in full swing. Thus, he rushed over.

“Lord Village Chief!”

Xia saw him immediately.

The beast-eared girls stopped what they were doing at almost the same time and stood up to look at him.

“You guys continue, don’t worry about me.” Fu Rui smiled and said, “Did the hunting team leave today?”

Xia immediately shook her head. “The tribe doesn’t lack food for the time being, so they are helping to make bows and arrows.”

“Alright, I’ll come back in the afternoon. The hunting team will go out with me to catch something then.”

“What does the Lord Village Chief want to catch?”

“Venomous insects, venomous snakes, and poisonous plants.”

Fu Rui looked at their slightly astonished gazes and said firmly, “We need anything with poison. This trip is very dangerous. Who dares to follow me out?”

“If the Lord Village Chief isn’t afraid, why should I be afraid? Count me in!”

“Me too!”

One by one, the beast-eared females responded with firm expressions.
