Watching the Pure Humans start tidying up their grass nests again, Wu Yue couldn’t help but admire them.
Lunch was served at the ho of a Pure Human family whose house was under construction.
Surprisingly, it was a Pure Human family that had at, even though it slled a little off.
But for tribespeople who rarely had access to at, it was an incredibly high-class al.
Wu Yue was still a bit surprised when the Pure Human woman brought out the at. After all, she hadn’t seen a creature like a chicken since arriving in this world.
What the woman held in her hand was clearly half a chicken.
They used a sharpened stone knife to cut the chicken into roughly equal-sized pieces.
Wu Yue was given a piece from the belly. The woman smiled shyly. "Yue, this piece has no bones. It’s for you."
Looking at the piece of at, which wasn’t even as big as a child’s fist, Wu Yue carefully took it, wrapped it in a leaf, and tucked it into her clothes, earning a puzzled look from the woman.
Winking at her, Wu Yue chuckled. "It’s a rare treat to get at. I’ll make so vegetable buns to go with it tonight."
Seeing how much she cherished the food she’d been given, the woman broke into a happy smile.
"This little rascal! How could you throw away a bone?"
The woman had just turned away, beaming, when her smile instantly vanished, replaced by a flash of anger at the sight before her.
Her son had just thrown a chicken bone on the ground.
The woman walked over angrily, gave the little boy a smack on the bottom, and scolded him for not treasuring his food.
The man beside her smiled and picked up the bone. Then, as the little boy watched with an aggrieved look, he crushed it between his teeth with a loud CRUNCH, CRUNCH and swallowed it down, a look of bliss on his face. "You can eat the bones, too. Don’t throw them away next ti, understand?"
The little boy stared in awe at his Father’s... teeth.
’He’d only thrown the bone away because he couldn’t chew through it. If he had teeth like his Father, could he eat such tasty food too?’
Being looked at with such adoration by his son, the man instantly felt his spirits soar, and all the day’s fatigue vanished.
He let out a hearty laugh and ruffled the little boy’s head. "You’ll be able to eat them when you’re older."
With that, he smacked his lips in enjoynt. "The bones are way tastier than the at."
A pang of sadness hit Wu Yue as she watched. Suddenly, the slightly off-slling piece of chicken tucked in her clothes felt incredibly heavy.
Whether it was because of the chicken they’d eaten, the n worked with exceptional vigor that afternoon.
Wu Yue took a look around. Only the roof was left to be put on. All the materials were ready, so the rest could be left to the Beastn.
She wandered over to where the won were preparing food.
To Wu Yue’s surprise, the woman had taken out another half a chicken.
"Just so wild vegetable buns will be fine for dinner. You should save this at for your little one."
Wu Yue’s voice ca from behind her. The woman turned, scratching her head in embarrassnt. "My partner’s Amu brought this over today. She said it’s for the tribespeople who are building the house."
"My partner’s Father and Amu are both Half beastman Warriors."
Wu Yue was speechless.
’So that’s what it was.’ Wu Yue had figured it out over the last few days. It really was different when you had connections. As long as you had Beastman or Half beastman relatives, you were always guaranteed so at when your house was being built.
That was why the n, who had previously thought that being chosen for construction duty would interfere with their own gathering and hunting, were now all pleased as punch.
