I Didn’t Ask You to Eat It

“I didn’t tell you to eat it!” Cheng An’s tail hair stood up. Why did Shitou stuff everything into his mouth? What if he got an upset stomach or even poisoned? ! 

As if he knew what Cheng An was thinking, Yu said at the right time: “Don’t worry, beastmen are strong and won’t get into trouble easily.”

Cheng An looked up at Yu: “Really?”

“Mm.” Yu nodded, and sat down next to Cheng An. He took two pieces of grass and began to study, thinking about how to weave the grass into a net.

Cheng An was still a little skeptical. Would it really be okay to be so bold? “

“It’s true!” Xiao Hua testified, “In autumn, there are many fruits in the woods. I have eaten them all. Some delicious fruits are sour and sweet. Some are not, and some fruits make you feel dizzy and sometimes nauseous. But it will be fine after a short sleep.”

Dizzy? Nausea?

Isn’t this food poisoning?!

Looking at Xiao Hua’s lively appearance, Cheng An’s heart was relieved. Maybe the beastmen’ physique is really strong.

Food poisoning is nothing to worry about~

Shitou recovered and raised the grass to ask Cheng An: “So what is the beast god’s test? An, what are these grasses for?”

Xiao Hua didn’t say anything. He looked at Cheng An expectantly, hoping to get an answer from him.

Cheng An glanced at Yu and found that Yu was no longer fiddling with the grass stems in his hand, but was looking at him with a smile in his eyes.

Cheng An blushed. Fortunately he was a wolf cub, and his furry face couldn’t show that he was blushing. “Ahem…” Cheng An cleared his throat and said, “The Beast God’s test is to let us weave these grasses into a net. If we succeed, the Beast God will reward us!”

“Weave a net?” Shitou’s face collapsed while staring at the grass in his hand dejectedly. How could he do this? It would be better for him to run around the tribe in the snow for several laps.

Xiao Hua also frowned. He didn’t know how to do this either.

Cheng An observed their reactions and comforted them, “Don’t be discouraged! The Beast God gave me some hints. We can follow the Beast God’s hints, so it’s not like we have no clues.  “

“Okay, cheer up, I’ll tell you what a net is.” Cheng An cleared a small space in front of him, and then drew a “well” pattern with his claws.

“A net is made of thin ropes, like this structure. How about it? Doesn’t it look simple? So don’t think it’s difficult to make a net. Let’s use our brains together. We can make a net soon and get the reward from the beast god!” Cheng An encouraged while not forgetting to paint a pie. A carrot must be hung in front of the donkey before it will run.

——The same is true for group work.

After team leader Cheng An finished explaining, he began to urge his team members to start working.

“An, why does this net fall apart when I pick it up?” Xiao Hua picked up the net he had woven and called Cheng An in a bit of a panic.

Cheng An went over and found that Xiao Hua just simply arranged the grass stems as he drew. Would it not fall apart when he picked it up?

“Xiao Hua, you have to tie them up, so they won’t fall apart.” Cheng An pointed out the key to the problem.

“Knotting?”

Cheng An took a lot of effort and finally taught them how to tie a knot.

However, the progress of weaving the fishing net is still slow because no one knows how to weave it. The weaving does not imitate the essence of the fishing net.

Cheng An, who has only seen what a fishing net looks like and has rich experience in weaving scarves, is trapped by his furry claws, and inflexible paws. He has not yet figured out how to weave a fishing net.

“It’s too difficult!” Shitou was the first to give up. He really had no hands-on ability. After working for a long time, he not only failed to weave a decent net, but also made himself a mess, with grass clippings everywhere.

Cheng An went to look at the “net” in Shitou’s hand. The grass heads were exposed outside in a mess. The few knots were of different sizes, and the mesh was big and small.

Cheng An shook his head and went back to continue fighting with his furry claws and grass stems.

How is a fishing net woven?

Cheng An turned around and saw Xiao Hua tie the grass stems to the same grass stem before weaving it. Suddenly, he figured out the trick.

“I think I know how to weave it!”

The eyes of the other three people instantly focused on Cheng An. Cheng An felt a little stressed: “Don’t look at me first. I just said that I seem to know how to weave it, but it may not be the way to weave it. Don’t just look at it, use your brain and think about it.  “

That being said, Shitou had completely given up thinking and stared at Cheng An’s movements without blinking.

Although the beast form was not very convenient, Cheng An had gradually mastered the trick of using his claws. His movements were much more flexible than at the beginning, and the grass stems were much more obedient.

Shitou looked at Cheng An’s claws, then at his own hands. He suddenly transformed his hands into claws, and used his claws to touch the net he had just made with grass stems. As a result, he did not control his strength and directly broke the unformed net.

He can’t compare his claws.

Shitou shook his head. Not wanting to waste time on grass stems, he volunteered to cook broth.

Yu took a look at the grass stems that were broken into several pieces in front of Shitou, and knew that he was not suited for weaving fishing nets. He told him where the stone pot, potatoes and meat were.

“Cook two pots, and you can eat here later.”

Shitou nodded, “No problem! Cooking meat soup is much easier than making a net. “

Cheng An made a few attempts according to what he had just thought of, and found that it was feasible and simple. He was instantly excited. “I can make a fishing net! Come here quickly, I will teach you how to make it.”

Shitou heard it, but didn’t want to go over. He quietly hid in the corner to peel potatoes. He actually didn’t think it was necessary to peel them, but since Yu said so, he had to do it.

Cheng An was so excited at the moment that he had no time to care about Shitou.

Xiao Hua stopped what he was doing and hurriedly moved closer to Cheng An. As for Yu, he was sitting next to Cheng An and didn’t need to move.

Cheng An raised his paw and patted Xiao Hua, “I thought of it thanks to Xiao Hua!” In fact, it wasn’t that he thought of it, but he remembered it. Thanks to Xiao Hua, otherwise it would be really difficult for Cheng An to remember it.

Xiao Hua blushed easily when he was happy, “M-Me?”

“Yes!” Cheng An excitedly shared the skills of weaving fishing nets, and then praised Xiao Hua for how he got inspiration from him.

“Xiao Hua, let me show you what I thought of when you weaved it just now.”

“Okay.”

Xiao Hua brought the net he had just woven over. Cheng An found that the knots of the net woven by Xiao Hua were much more even than Shitou’s, and the mesh size was about the same, but the mesh was too dense.

Cheng An first praised Xiao Hua, and then pointed out his shortcomings: “Xiao Hua, you weaved very well! It’s just that the mesh is too small. When you weave it as I said later, remember to leave the mesh a little bigger. This saves effort, but don’t leave it too big, otherwise it won’t be able to catch anything.”

“Mm!  “Xiao Hua nodded. Cheng An explained very carefully and demonstrated it, so Xiao Hua got the hang of it quickly.

Cheng An corrected Xiao Hua’s several small mistakes. Seeing that he was on the right track, he felt relieved to watch Yu’s.

“Yu, where is the net you just made? Show me!” Cheng An sat in front of Yu like a small cake.

Yu hid the messy fishing net he just made behind him, “Ahem… I don’t know where I put the one I just made. I didn’t quite understand what you just said. What should I do next?”

“Didn’t understand?” Cheng An tilted his head, and his attention was instantly diverted.

“… Mm.”

“Then I’ll teach you again. Listen carefully. First, take out a relatively long grass and remove all its leaves, and then… keep doing this!  “

Yu took advantage of Cheng An’s inattention and threw the fishing net he had woven earlier into the fire. The flames instantly ignited the grass stems, and after a while, not even ashes were left.

Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

“Do you understand?” Cheng An looked up at Yu.

Yu nodded, “Mm, I understand now. Thank you An.”

“You’re welcome!” Cheng An still remembered that he wanted to see the fishing net that Yu had woven first. He circled around Yu, but still couldn’t see where the fishing net was.

Where did it go? Did Yu sit on it?

Before Cheng An could figure it out, he was picked up by Yu and placed in front of the grass stems, “Why are you in a daze? Didn’t you say you were going to weave the fishing net quickly? Hurry up and get started.”

Cheng An was persuaded by Yu. He did not bother about where Yu’s first fishing net was, and continued to weave his grass stems.

After seeing Cheng An start to move, Yu was completely relieved, but he was a little distracted by the thin grass in his hand. How to weave a fishing net? He was busy burning things and did not listen carefully to Cheng An’s explanation.

Yu frowned. He looked cold but in fact he was thinking about how to do handicrafts.

Fortunately, Cheng An was sitting next to Yu. His small body could not block anything, and Cheng An was not on guard.

Yu sat behind him and watched for a long time before trying to weave a fishing net. Although it did not look as good as Cheng An’s, it at least looked like a fishing net. It was much better than the one he weaved at the beginning.

The one he wove at the beginning had already been burned, so no one else could compare it without seeing it. Only Yu knew that his not-so-good fishing net had improved a lot.

It was not difficult to cook meat soup. Wash the ingredients, cut them, and throw them into the stone pot. Then just wait for them to cook. Shitou hesitated for a long time and finally cooked all the food.

Now he had no reason not to come to weave a fishing net. He sat back reluctantly and asked Xiao Hua how to weave a fishing net.

Xiao Hua was worthy of being Cheng An’s best student. Not only did he weave a fishing net that looked good, but he could also teach Shitou. Xiao Hua taught carefully and told Shitou some of the mistakes he made at the beginning.

Now no matter how stupid Shitou was, he should understand how to weave a fishing net.

Yu slowed down his movements and silently corrected some of the small mistakes he was making while listening.
