Chapter 82: Wanting Private Space

  This time Mo Yi'er was directly silent. She didn't know what to say. The little fluffy ball sighed at the bottom of her heart for her own sorrow, and continued to sharpen the hoe.

  When the weather is bright and sunny. The production is complete. Even the wooden stick has been polished and put on. Now it can be used directly.

  Sang Zhen was the first woman in the tribe to get up. She added another bundle of firewood to the stove, preparing breakfast. When she saw Mo Yi'er and Xiao Rongqiu at the entrance of the cave, she exclaimed: "Mo Yi'er, you haven't slept all night."

  "Yes. For doing this."

  "What's the use of this thing?" Sang Zhen examined the hoe for a long time and still couldn't figure out what it was for.

  "This is used for growing sunflowers."

  "Oh."

  "I'll help you make breakfast. Little Fluffy. Do you want to go sleep first?"

  "No need. You haven't slept all night. Go to sleep first." Sang Zhen refused Mo Yier's help. Staying up late is the most harmful to the body. Mo Yier had said so.

  "What Sang Zhen said is true. Go to sleep." Chu Yan had already gotten up. In fact, last night, Si Muer slept by his side, making it another sleepless night for him. His mind was filled with thoughts of turning Si Muer into his own woman, which he felt was a betrayal of Mo Yier.

  "Alright, let's go to sleep." Mo Yier yawned and pulled Xiao Rongqiu to bed. The position of Chu Huo and Fan Ge was just enough for the two of them to rest. They fell asleep soon after lying on the fire kang.

  I slept well this time. When I woke up, it was already noon. Xiao Rongqiu went hunting and wasn't in the tribe. Chu Huo and the others naturally went hunting too. Even Ximola and the elderly weren't there. In the cave, only Zhang Ji was left with Xiao Hei and Yao Nu.

  "Wow, you're really something. You can sleep in until this late." Yao Nu teased sarcastically. But Mo Yi'er ignored her. Zhang Ji was even more indifferent and didn't hear it. She only said to Mo Yi'er: "Mo Yi'er, you're awake. The meat soup is warm in the ceramic pot. Hurry up and eat."

  "Mm." Mo Yier smiled at Zhang Ji and walked over to give Xiao Hei a peck on the cheek. Then she went to take a shower before having her meat soup.

  This made Yao Nu's heart even more unbalanced. In the morning, she saw Sang Zhen putting meat soup in a clay pot to warm it up. She said that she hadn't eaten enough and wanted to drink some more. But Sang Zhen wouldn't let her. Si Fen Ni scolded her for not doing anything but eating so much. Unexpectedly, all of this was left for Mo Yi Er. Why wasn't she important in their hearts?

  Yao Nu walked to Zhang Ji's side, her eyes brimming with tears. "Zhang Ji, you've watched me grow up, just like my mother did. Do you also think that Mo Yi'er is more important than I am?"

  "Yao Nu, why do you always compare yourself to Mo Yi Er?" Zhang Ji furrowed her brow every day, looking at Mo Yi Er with puzzled eyes. She was just a simple and honest woman, never jealous of anyone, so she couldn't understand Yao Nu's thoughts.

  "Why can't I compare to her? Am I not as good-looking as she is? Why does the leader like her and not me? I've liked the leader since I was young. I hope that when I grow up, I can be his woman. But the leader doesn't even give me a second glance." Yao Nu really cried this time. Whenever she thought of Chu Yan's disregard for her, she couldn't hold back her tears.

  "The leader likes whoever is the leader's affair. Doesn't like you, then just be with other men." Zhang Ji's thoughts were simple and straightforward.

  "I don't want to. I just want to be with the leader."

  "This is probably beyond your control. The chief has asked the men. Hula is willing to be with you. He should find you tonight."

  "Hula. Hula is older than you. I don't want to." Yao's daughter suddenly jumped up. The words made even the good-tempered Zhang Ji unhappy.

  "Except for the men in the Hula tribe, no one wants to be with you. You'd better listen obediently. Now you're a cripple. If all the men don't want to be with you, even Kasa might abandon you. Do you still think you can eat without working?" Zhang Ji originally had some sympathy for Yao Nu, but now she couldn't bear her either.

  "No. How could it be? It's like this." Yao Nü Bei Zhang Ji's words shocked her. How is it possible that no man wants to be with her? When she was young, wasn't Ba Jin quite fond of playing with her? And also, Jiang Wan wanted to be with her too. But later he ended up with Si Fen Ni. She had forgotten. Jiang Wan used to be a very flirtatious guy. In the tribe, it wasn't just Si Fen Ni who had been with him either.

  "Think about it carefully." Zhang Ji didn't want to talk to Yao Nu anymore. Nor did anyone else. Nobody wanted to talk to the current Yao Nu.

  Mo Yu'er finished drinking the meat soup and left the cave. Ximula was helping her plant sunflowers. A hoe was used very smoothly. "Ximula, you've planted so many. Great job." Mo Yu'er ran over to praise generously.

  "It's okay. Hurry up and finish sewing this leather. You're good at teaching me how to sew animal hides."

  "There's no hurry in sewing animal hides. It's better to weave a silk garment first. The weather is getting warmer and wearing animal hides can be uncomfortable at times."

  "Hmm. That thing woven from silkworms is indeed not bad. It's a bit like that strange beast skin of yours, yet completely different. I think I'll try weaving that strange beast skin of yours." Silmala had already seen Mo Yuer's nightgown and was very interested.

  "Ah, you want to weave fabric. This is very difficult."

  "Difficulty does not mean impossibility." Silas was a man who refused to give up.

  "Good. Let's study it. It would be even better if you could weave cloth."

  "Good." Silmara replied. The movements of her hands became even faster.

  Two people were busy with sunflowers. Half a day's time was finally all planted. I don't know if it will sprout or not. Even more, I don't know if there will be more sunflowers.

  This evening, Xī Mò officially moved into the small cave next door. This made Mò Yì very envious. No need to listen to that "ah ah oh oh" sound of human creation. Can also have one's own independent space. How good would it be? Why not apply with Chǔ Huǒ as well? Thinking about it, she found Chǔ Huǒ. Not trying is how you'll never know if it works or not. "Chǔ Huǒ, I have something to discuss with you."

  "Oh, whatever." Chu Yan had just washed away the dust from his body. His long hair was still dripping with water droplets. He no longer sported that most popular pompadour hairstyle, but instead had a thick, straight head of black hair. The whole person looked very masculine and intimidating.

  "I want a cave of my own. Is it possible?"

  "You want your own cave. For whatever use."

  "I also want a cave of my own to sleep in. Having a private space of one's own."

  Chu Yan didn't expect Mo Yier to make such a request. Suddenly, he didn't know what kind of feeling was in his heart. "Mo Yier, do you really want to stay away from me? Even if you have another man, you don't need to hide from me." He was really hurt. From childhood to adulthood, he had never been so helpless towards a woman.

  The women in the tribe were all obedient to him. He wanted a woman and it was just a matter of waving his hand. But why did Mo Yi always want to stay away from him?
