My husband is too wild, I need to go home and find my mom.

Chapter 112 Finally, we got to eat rice!

An older male sitting in the middle of the group glanced at Lin Ni, curled his lip, and said, "Looking is fine, but I can't give it to you!"

Da Chun frowned and said, "They gave us such a big wild boar, what's wrong with giving them some grain? Don't be so stingy!"

The male muttered discontentedly, "Aren't these supplies for our tribe to stay overnight?"

The female glared at her partner: "You're the stingiest one! If you're so capable, why don't you stop eating wild boar meat and just eat sorghum instead!" Then she smiled at Lin Ni and said: "Don't worry about him! This male is the most petty! Da Chun, take you and them up there."

Linni almost laughed; wasn't that just petty? She smiled at the woman and said, "Thank you!"

Lin Ni followed Da Chun to a corner of the tree hollow, where several vines hung down. He grabbed the vines and climbed up. As he climbed, Da Chun said, "Our tree hollow has two levels. The lower level is used for eating and sleeping, and the upper level is used for storing food."

Night held Lin Ni in his arms, his lower body transforming into a snake tail as he slid up to the second floor. Yao followed him up, but Feng stayed below and did not go up.

Upon reaching the second level of the tree hollow, Lin saw that it was filled with stone jars, all covered with wooden planks, and some stone jars were stacked together in groups of two or three.

Da Chun explained to Lin Ni, "Our Jinji tribe uses stone jars to store food, so it doesn't get damp easily." He opened the wooden lid to show Lin Ni, "This is sorghum rice. It's harvested twice a year, in early summer and late autumn. We can harvest a lot of it, and everyone basically eats this."

Sorghum grains are about the same size as longan fruits.

Then Da Chun opened another stone jar: "This is millet, which is also very delicious, but it only ripens once a year, so there will be less of it."

Linni peeked inside, but what she saw as millet was clearly wheat! The wheat grains were about the size of peanuts. Dachun showed her what millet (which is wheat) looked like before and after hulling, and told her that millet could be cooked directly into millet rice or millet porridge. Linni: Oh, I also know that rice can be cooked into rice and rice porridge!

Sure enough, after Da Chun showed her the rice, she said, "This rice comes from the rainforests and marshes of the East, so it's very rare, but it's really delicious! It's delicious cooked into rice and rice soup."

Linnie: Oh, no wonder your partner eats alone! So he's from the mysterious East!

Then Linni also saw the mung beans and peanuts they had stored, as well as some potatoes, yams and other underground stem foods, and a small amount of dried meat. She wondered why she couldn't see mung beans over the towering mountains; it turned out they only grew on the cliffside. Chujian Mountain was considered the border area, which is why she was lucky enough to find a few.

Da Chun wrapped each of his family's sorghum, millet, and glutinous rice in leaves for Lin Ni. He reluctantly wanted to wrap some dried meat in it, but Lin Ni refused, showing that meat was still very precious here. Seeing that she didn't want the dried meat, Da Chun breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Our Jinji tribe mainly uses these three types of rice as our food. After cooking, they contain energy that can enhance the beastmen. After all, beast meat is too precious, and it's difficult for us to catch enough prey."

Linni pointed to the stem vegetables with a puzzled look: "Don't these foods contain any energy?"

Da Chun nodded: "Although these foods can fill our stomachs, they cannot boost the orcs' energy."

Yao took the three bags of dry food and went back to his tree hole with Lin Ni. Then, under Lin Ni's instructions, he started cooking rice.

Night: "So Lin likes to eat this. I don't think it tastes as good as animal meat."

Linni smiled at him and said, "I like to eat rice, and I also like to eat animal meat."

Feng asked curiously, "Why does rice have more energy when it's cooked, but meat has very little energy when it's cooked?"

Ye said, "The orcs of the towering cliffs say this is a gift from the Beast God. The orcs here are not as powerful as those in the towering mountains, and hunting wild animals is very difficult for them, so meat is very precious. Most of their energy comes from these three kinds of rice."

“Where I used to live, all food had energy,” Linni suddenly said. “Grains have energy, meat has energy, and fruits and vegetables also have different kinds of energy, so we ate everything to ensure a balanced energy intake.”

The matter of Linni's former tribe seems to have become a taboo topic among them. Feng and Yan had asked Ye and Bai about it in private, but they both said they didn't know. Ye and Bai both suspected that she was not from the Beastman Continent because she knew nothing about the common knowledge of the Beastman Continent. They had never heard of the things on her. However, they pretended not to know and did not tell anyone their guesses, including Ye and Bai.

Everyone knew she had many secrets, including the fact that she and Yao always spoke in a language they couldn't understand, which made them feel like outsiders. But Linni didn't want to talk about it, and they didn't want to force her.

Seeing that this was the first time she had brought it up, Feng couldn't help but ask, "Where was the tribe where Lin used to live?"

Lin Ni glanced at him, noticing everyone staring at her with curiosity, and smiled nonchalantly, saying, "I don't know where I am either. I can't find my way back."

Yan said, "Yao has forgotten the past, but you haven't! Tell me about your tribe, and I'll inquire for you. The Eagle Beast tribe has been to many places; perhaps some beastmen know about it."

Lin Ni looked at Yao, a little bewildered, and saw him hand her a wooden bowl of freshly cooked rice. Lin Ni happily took it and said, "Thank you!" After more than three hundred days, she was finally eating fragrant rice. She took a bite of chicken and then a bite of rice, exclaiming, "Mmm, so delicious!"

Seeing that she remained silent again, Ye Jian was not disappointed. She simply said, "If you like to eat it, I'll go and get more."

Lin Ni nodded: "I like it. I like both the millet and the rice, but the sorghum is just so-so, and that one isn't very tasty."

Ye glanced at the small bag of millet: "Should we cook this?"

Linni shook her head: "Let's cook it tomorrow, this amount of rice is enough."

After they finished speaking, Feng asked again, "What race of beastman is Yao? I've never heard of fire beasts on the beastman continent."

The topic that had already been skipped was brought up again by Feng. Lin Ni glanced at Feng, pretending not to hear or that he wasn't asking her, and just kept her head down to eat. For a moment, the scene was a little awkward.

Seeing Lin Ni lower her head and avoid eye contact, Feng looked at Yao and asked, "We are both Lin's partners, can't you tell us?"
