Stone Age Husband Raising Journal

Chapter 129 – Arrival

He didn’t have to birth or raise him, but he had still gotten a teenage grandson for nothing––Hai Feng was very satisfied. He gave him a little more of the sauerkraut fish soup, and then gave him another big spoonful of rice, “Big grandson, have some more.”

The youth pushed the rice down with a spoon, pressing the rice into the soup so that it could soak up more of it before eating it all, one big spoonful at a time. His face ended up covered in grains of rice as he ate, and he then used the spoon to scrape the rice off his own face and continued to eat.

“Big grandson, call me that a few more times.” Hai Feng said.

“Call you what?”

“Call me grandfather.” Hai Feng said.

“Grandfather.” The youth repeated.

Hai Feng gave him another piece of roasted meat, “Oh, right, what’s your name?”

“Xi Baobei.” The youth said.

Hai Feng slapped his thigh, “It’s a good name!”

Zhou Ji, who had been using his spiritual powers to pay attention to Hai Feng and the youth while he made more pickled vegetables, stilled for a moment.

The Giant Pig Tribe was some distance away from the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe, so Zhu Zhan wasn’t very clear on the situation of the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe, but even so, he had inquired about the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe’s situation from the Grass Tribe yesterday.

The Giant Rhinoceros Tribe had a Beast King, but the Beast King wasn’t the chief of the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe. Instead, the Beast King was the guardian of the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe. The guardian of the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe had a total of three children, but two of them had already died, leaving only one child remaining. That child had been raised like a treasure and was very rarely seen by others.

The youth in front of them might be that child.

Now, not only was the child following them and eating leftovers, he was even calling Hai Feng ‘grandfather’.

Zhou Ji felt that the Rhinoceros Beast King would definitely be very depressed if he learned of this.

However, they couldn’t send the child back at the moment... Perhaps the child would be a bit happier and safer if he followed them for now.

Hai Feng would definitely protect his new grandson.

Zhou Ji was just thinking that when he heard Xiong Ye, whose hearing had improved significantly after becoming a Beast King and had therefore heard Hai Feng’s words, say, “Zhou Ji, we can also raise a child or grandson in a few years time!”

Xiong Ye was very fond of children. Although he was together with Zhou Ji and couldn’t have children of his own, he could still raise other people’s children! He didn’t mind!

Zhou Ji went straight for the lounge chair nearby and lay down, “I won’t raise them. You can raise them one if you want.” He didn’t want to bring up any children.

“Alright!” Xiong Ye had no objections to this at all. “I wonder if there are a lot of people here on the Beastman Continent whose animal form is an elephant. We can raise a child whose animal form is an elephant, and then raise another one whose animal form is a brown bear.” Children like that would be pretty much the same as having children of their own!

“As long as you’re happy.” Zhou Ji said. It was enough for him to take care of a single brown bear. He didn’t want to raise anything else, but if Xiong Ye wanted to, then it wasn’t a big deal to adopt a few children.

“I want to...” Xiong Ye glanced at Zhou Ji, “Zhou Ji, do you want to go and wash the dishes with me?”

Zhou Ji, who had been lying there lazily, sat up immediately. “Yes!”

“Chief, you’re going to do the dishes?” Someone immediately came over when they heard Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye’s conversation. “I can help you wash them!”

“No need.” Xiong Ye didn’t even hesitate before refusing.

However, Zhou Ji plucked the bowls out of his hands and handed them over to that person, “Thank you.” Last time when they had gone out to wash dishes, Xiong Ye had really gone to wash the dishes after everything was over... It had been a little out of sync with the atmosphere.

Xiong Ye sent Zhou Ji a look of dissatisfaction––what was Zhou Ji trying to do?

Zhou Ji: “We’ll go take a bath.”

She had decided to have a baby with one of Zhu Zhan’s subordinates, and the two now had a very good relationship. It was very normal for them to go into the woods.

Zhu Zhan was a little depressed when he discovered these matters.

When would he be able to find his own woman and then bring his own woman into the woods?!

And there was Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye––Zhou Ji had hidden such a serious matter from Xiong Ye, yet it had had no impact on the feelings between the two. It was bad enough that they showed their love for each other during the day, but they even went off into the woods at night!

Zhu Zhan was even more impatient to go home and wished that they could push on day and night, but he knew that it was impossible. Based on his strength, he simply couldn’t push on at night and going on his own might still not be as fast as their current pace as a group.

“Baobei, let’s go take a bath, too.” Hai Feng looked at his newly acknowledged grandson––everyone else loved to be clean so much that he also felt that he also had to wash up.

“Sure.” Xi Baobei agreed right away.

On the other hand, Zhu Zhan was staring at Hai Feng in shock––He could overlook Hai Feng calling this giant rhinoceros youth by such a name, but now he even wanted to go and take a bath with him. Wasn’t this Hai Feng too much like a beast?

The giant rhinoceros youth was still young and was only one or two years older than his eldest child. He hadn’t even reached adulthood yet. He felt that he had to stop Hai Feng, but Hai Feng was a Beast King, and he couldn’t stop him...

Zhu Zhan was very unsure about what to do.

Seeing that Zhu Zhan had been staring at him, Hai Feng asked, “Do you want to come and wash with us?”

Zhu Zhan: What?

Hai Feng; “If you want to come with us, then come.”

Zhu Zhan had never imagined that one day he would end up taking a bath with two other men.

And then, he was depressed once again.

He had thought that Hai Feng had called the child ‘Baobei’ in order to trick him, but it turned out that... There was actually someone with that name!

Also... This giant rhinoceros child had really been taken care of too much from childhood. After arriving at the river, he actually turned into his animal form and just stood unmoving by the river. When he saw that Zhu Zhan and Hai Feng hadn’t reacted, he turned his head over and said, “I’m ready... You guys can help me wash.”

Zhu Zhan had originally meant to stop Hai Feng from doing anything to the underage beastman, but finally ended up working with Hai Feng to help brush the giant rhinoceros’ bristles.

The giant rhinoceros’ animal form was too annoying! Zhu Zhan’s own form was two meters tall, but there was actually someone whose legs were that long!

It was too much work to help him brush his bristles!

And the thing that made Zhu Zhan despair the most was that after they expended a lot of effort to groom the giant rhinoceros, Hai Feng suddenly said, “Nobody has ever groomed my animal form before... How about you guys brush me after I change into my animal form?”

Xi Baobei didn’t even hesitate, “Sure!”

Zhu Zhan: “......What will you do if you suddenly turn into your animal form and accidentally crush someone to death?” He refused to brush a two-thousand-ton fish’s body!

“That’s true... Forget it then.” Hai Feng said. It wasn’t a big deal to crush someone to death, but he was scared of accidentally killing an acquaintance.

When Zhu Zhan and the others made it back to the camp, Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji still hadn’t yet returned.

Hai Feng took his big grandson with him and went to sleep. Zhu Zhan had things weighing on his heart, so he went to wander around the area. He ended up seeing Zhou Ji come back with Xiong Ye in his arms.

Zhu Zhan: “......” These two were actually like this! He really couldn’t get used to it!

So that meant that Zhou Ji hadn’t slept with Xiong Ye before not because he hadn’t come clean, but because it hadn’t been convenient for him to push Xiong Ye down?!

The next day, everyone continued on their way.

They were getting closer and closer to the Giant Pig Tribe. Zhou Ji also learned a lot about the Giant Pig Tribe from Zhu Zhan.

The Giant Pig Tribe had had Beast Kings before, but they no longer had a Beast King in their tribe now. Even so, their tribe was still one that other people on the Beastman Continent didn’t dare to provoke lightly.

This was because the people of their tribe were all very capable of having many children.

Zhu Zhan’s father had a good many wives, and his wives had given him dozens of children. Zhu Zhan was only one amongst many.

Zhou Ji sighed secretly––the Giant Pig Tribe’s animal form was very tasty when he thought about it, but they couldn’t be eaten.

“What happened to me this time is related to my younger brothers and sisters.” Zhu Zhan signed, “I’m too lazy to look into the matter, but if something happened to Zhu Zhu... I would definitely kill them all.”

Zhou Ji said, “Your woman and children will be alright.”

Zhou Ji had only said this in order to comfort Zhu Zhan. He hadn’t thought that Zhu Zhan would ask him delightedly after he said this, “Are you saying so because you’ve received guidance from the Beast God?”

Zhou Ji: Sorry, but no.

When everyone was only a single day away from the Giant Pig Tribe, Xiong Ye suddenly brought up the matter of the Beast God Sacrifice. “It’ll be time for the Beast God Sacrifice in half a month.”

The Beast God Sacrifice was a big event, but unfortunately, they weren’t at their tribe.

“When it’s time for the Beast God Sacrifice, the Beast God Temple will host a grand ceremony, and all the Beast Kings will gather together there. The large tribes will bring their goods to the place near the Beast God Temple for trade... The Giant Pig Tribe isn’t far from the Beast God Temple. We can go attend the Beast God Sacrifice there after I’ve found Zhu Zhu.” Zhu Zhan said.

“That sounds pretty good.” Zhou Ji was quite excited for it.

Xiong Ye and the others were also energized. They had constantly been on the road since they arrived at the Beastman Continent. They had started off by making a stop at the Grass Tribe, but in order to avoid trouble, they had bypassed all the tribes they saw later on regardless of whether they were big tribes or small ones. At most, they would only interact with the people from the side who had come out to patrol to let the patrols know that they were only passing by.

Pushing onwards like this was really boring and uncomfortable. Fortunately, they were about to arrive at the Giant Pig Tribe and could also participate in the Beast God Temple’s Beast God Sacrifice soon.

Everyone was very happy and energized, but in the moment that they let down their guard, they encountered heavy rain.

The heavy rain poured down, drenching and soaking them thoroughly.

Out of everyone there, only Hai Feng was very satisfied, “This rain is pretty good! Getting drenched is very comfortable!”

“Uncomfortable.” Xi Baobei said.

Hai Feng looked towards his grandson and discovered that his cheap grandson had been drenched by so much rain that he couldn’t even open his eyes. The hair on his head had also clumped together from the rain, and he looked very miserable.

Hai Feng suddenly felt a bit bad for him, “Baobei, turn into your animal form. It’ll be a little better.”

Xi Baobei nodded and turned into his animal form.

After he turned into his animal form, he really felt a lot better. It was just that there were a lot of trees along the way, and his path was always blocked...

Hai Feng went ahead to help him clear the way, “Baobei, you should follow grandfather. Grandfather will help you open up a path!”

Hai Feng delightedly went off to clear the way.

As a result, Xi Baobei stopped walking and even started eating leaves halfway.

Hai Feng: “......” This child was quite obedient, but he was a little stupid at times. It was difficult to understand!

Hai Feng climbed up onto his grandson’s back and patted his neck, “Stop eating! Follow Zhou Ji!”

As soon as his voice fell, he found himself falling down from five meters up in the air––Xi Baobei had turned back into human form to ask Hai Feng, “Which one is Zhou Ji?”

“That one!” Hai Feng pointed at Zhou Ji.

“Oh......” Xi Baobei turned back into a giant rhinoceros and slowly followed behind Zhou Ji.

Zhou Ji led these people to a place with many trees that could at least provide some minimal shelter from the rain, “We’ll set up camp early today and get some rest.”

The rain was too heavy. It wasn’t a good idea for them to continue on in this kind of weather.

“We’re not traveling any further? Are we stopping here?” Zhu Zhan couldn’t help but ask. He really wanted to run back to the Giant Pig Tribe immediately.

“Yes, we’re going to spend the night here.” Zhou Ji said. “The Beast God told me that this is a good place.”

This place was really a good place. He had actually discovered garlic here!

Zhou Ji wasn’t a person who liked to eat garlic in his previous life, but he couldn’t get used to not having garlic in this life.

There were many dishes that became even tastier when garlic was added. Garlic was something that was really good.

Now, he had discovered this kind of good thing here.

Since the Beast God had said that this was a good place, it meant that it must be a good place... Zhu Zhan was no longer against it and helped everyone settle in.

They had a lot of dinosaur leather on hand that could keep the rain out. People went out to bring back some wood so that they could set up makeshift tents.

The first tent was put together for Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye.

Zhou Ji, who had already collected some garlic, squeezed in with Xiong Ye.

The ground of the tent consisted of mud. Even if they had chosen to set up camp at a higher elevation, the ground beneath their feet was still wet and difficult to get accustomed to. It also made it hard to light a fire and roast meat to eat.

Fortunately, the tribe had a habit of setting aside and storing food, so they were able to bring out some meat that had already been roasted before.

Although it rained hard, there was still meat to eat. The Big Bear Tribe were very satisfied with their current situation, and it was only Zhou Ji who felt that he couldn’t do without a fire and finally brought a pottery pot into their tent.

Zhou Ji tossed some wood scraps into the pot, then set it on fire. Their tent soon warmed up.

With that done, Zhou Ji took out the rice balls that he’d made himself and wrapped up in leaves, and set them inside the fire, preparing to use the fire to roast them and heat them up a bit.

Because it had been raining constantly, he had felt that it wasn’t convenient to eat despite using a piece of dinosaur leather to block out the water. The rice balls from last night hadn’t been finished yet, and Zhou Ji also set a steaming rack on top of the fire in the pottery pot, setting a pottery bowl on top so that he could boil some hot water to drink.

When the water was ready, he could toss some green vegetables or something inside and make a bowl of vegetable soup. He could even slowly roast some meat to eat over the small fire.

He could also add some garlic to the roasted meat, or roast the garlic directly. It was also tasty that way.

Zhou Ji had everything ready and was preparing to spend the evening doing what he’d planned when he suddenly perceived something with his spiritual powers––someone was coming.

And the people who were coming... was a female pig with one child in her mouth and two little piglets in tow.

The female pig’s animal form... Zhou Ji suddenly realized that the female pig might be Zhu Zhu––she looked a lot like how Zhu Zhan had described her.

If that was the case, then it was very coincidental!

Zhou Ji was just thinking that when another group of people appeared within his range of perception, and this group of people were clearly chasing after the female pig.
