Stone Age Husband Raising Journal

Ch166.1 – Extra: Educating The People

The Ape Beast King didn’t realize that some people no longer felt aggrieved after seeing that he was working so hard.

He himself... In fact, he still felt very aggrieved.

As a Beast King, he usually acted as a deterrent to other tribes for his own tribe, and didn’t need to do this manual work. Now, however...

He was reduced to constructing roads!

He shouldn’t have gone to attack Xiong Ye back then. If he hadn’t, he would be as free as the Rhinoceros Beast King now, and could stay in his own tribe in the Beastman Continent enjoying life....

Forget it, it was better not to think about it. Thinking about it just made him sadder.

The Ape Beast King held the piece of wood in his hand tightly and smashed it against the ground, making a smooth and spacious dirt road.

Xiong Ye, as the Beast God’s mate, was also working now. So, him doing some work wasn’t a big deal...

Xiong Ye was indeed working right now. He was cutting down trees.

He’d made a new plan for the land around the tribal grounds, but it required a stretch of trees to be cut down, so he’d gone to do it himself.

However, Xiong Ye stopped after a while.

The sun was hanging in the middle of the sky now, meaning that it was time for lunch!

In the past, he’d only eaten one meal a day at night and didn’t eat anything during the day. However, after he’d gotten to know Zhou Ji, he’d started having one meal in the morning and one in the evening.

And recently... Zhou Ji had started making another meal for him at noon.

So now, he ate three meals a day!

Xiong Ye felt that he was eating a little too much, but to be honest, he could use the meals...

He was now a Beast King. He could easily digest it all even if he ate more!

For example, he’d used his animal form to cut down some trees and had immediately gotten hungry.

The huge brown bear ran towards his yard.

The entrance to the yard was a little small for his animal form, but the wall around it wasn’t very high to him now... Xiong Ye jumped and leaped over the wall into the yard.

After jumping in, he froze.

He seemed to have... crushed something?

Xiong Ye immediately turned into his human form and then discovered that he’d crushed many flowers and plants. He was just thinking about what to do when he heard Zhou Ji’s voice, “A beauty has fallen down from the sky.”

Xiong Ye: “...I’m not a beauty!”

“I’m the beauty, then.” Zhou Ji smiled and said, “The food’s ready.”

Zhou Ji had cooked a table full of a variety of delicious dishes. There was also rice and roasted meat.

Xiong Ye was especially happy to eat and said, “Zhou Ji, you don’t have to make so much food in the future... I like eating everything, and I’m not picky about food.”

“Alright.” Zhou Ji smiled and answered, but he didn’t intend to listen to him.

Making more delicious food and improving his and Xiong Ye’s living standards was something that should be done.

He wanted him to be a fine Beast King.

Xiong Ye left again after he finished eating.

Zhou Ji waited until Xiong Ye left before going to the place where Xiong Ye had jumped in from outside and created a pit. He removed the flattened flowers and plants, then finally planted a stretch of grass that couldn’t be crushed.

Of course, he did more than just that... Zhou Ji scattered the cotton seeds and planted a lot of cotton.

Although the weather was warm now, and they didn’t need cotton, it was an extremely useful plant. If cotton was used to make a nest in winter, it would be particularly comfortable to sleep in and could ensure the children of the tribe didn’t get frozen.

Cotton was soon growing over a large stretch of land in the open yard, blooming to reveal a cloud of snow-white flowers.

Usually when people grew cotton, many ‘flowers’ wouldn’t open due to rain or other reasons, or they might open to reveal stiff and yellow cotton. However, it was different with the plants he’d grown–every single flower was filled with white fluffy cotton.

Zhou Ji picked a few cotton pieces, thought about it, then asked someone to call over the children of the tribe to help him pick cotton.

“After you’ve picked the cotton, bring it to the priests. This can be used to make nests. Of course, the seeds should be taken out before it’s used, since they can be planted.” Zhou Ji instructed the children, then took the cotton he’d picked himself and went back into the house.

He planned to try and make cotton cloth with the cotton pieces.

Of course, he wasn’t making cotton cloth in order to make clothing, but rather because he wanted to make towels... Life was really inconvenient without towels.

While Zhou Ji was figuring things out with the cotton using his spiritual strength, Xiong Ye was holding a branch to draw out a map in the dirt.

Xiong Ye was drawing this map for the priests who’d come from the Beast God Temple.

Zhou Ji had taught him all kinds of knowledge before going to the Beast God Temple. At night, other than sleeping, Zhou Ji would also teach him some knowledge. They would even make plans for the Big Bear Tribe together.

There would definitely be more and more people in the Big Bear Tribe, so they needed a lot of houses and roads. It was better to lead the water here so that they would have water...

After discussing with Zhou Ji for many days, Xiong Ye had a tummy full of ideas, but he helplessly discovered that the people of the tribe didn’t understand him.

However, the priests of the Beast God Temple were each very clever and understood with barely any guidance.

So, Xiong Ye called the priests over to work as overseers.

Although the priests came over, they were a little reluctant at the start.

They just wanted to take care of His Majesty The Beast God and didn’t want to be overseers! Unfortunately, they weren’t allowed to get close to His Majesty The Beast God!

Their hearts were completely broken over this matter.

They could only find a way to please His Majesty The Beast God, and then try to find a circuitous route to get into contact with His Majesty The Beast God.

So, although they didn’t want to do such work, none of the priests showed it on their faces and even actively went to study what they had to do.

Xiong Ye didn’t know what they were thinking. He drew a map on the ground the way Zhou Ji had taught him and then began to mark out the distances. He even added a few words to mark things...

Zhou Ji had constantly been forcing him to learn words and making him write them, so he’d started writing subconsciously. After writing, he realized that something wasn’t right–he knew words, but the others didn’t and wouldn’t be able to understand...

Just as Xiong Ye wanted to erase the words and mark the map differently, he was stopped by a priest of the Beast God Temple, “Wait!”

“What’s the matter?” Xiong Ye asked.

“What’s all this?” The priest of the Beast God Temple asked.

“That’s words.” Xiong Ye said.

“What are words?” The priest of the Beast God Temple asked again.

“Every sound that we say can be matched up with a word.” Xiong Ye wrote a ‘big’ on the ground. “For example, this word is ‘big’. The ‘big’ for big and small.”

“So it can be done like this!” The priests all looked at Xiong Ye, “Did the Beast God teach you this?”

“Yes.” Xiong Ye confirmed.

The priests were immediately excited, “These must be the writings of the Beast God! Bear Beast King, please teach us!”

Xiong Ye: “... I’ll teach you if you work hard.” These people were so eager to learn words... Was it wrong for him not to have tried very hard to study before?

“We’ll definitely work hard.” The priests all swore one after another and realized that they’d been too narrow-minded in serving the Beast God.

When it came to the Beast God’s tribe, they shouldn’t think about only serving the Beast God, but they should also study more of the Beast God’s skills–they absolutely couldn’t miss such a chance!

As for learning things... The Beast God didn’t notice them and didn’t want to teach them, but they could find the Beast God’s mate and others in the Big Bear Tribe to teach them!

Each and every one of these priests was full of energy. Not only did they ask Xiong Ye many questions, they also learned ten words each from Xiong Ye. After that, they memorized the words and prepared to teach and help each other remember them all in their minds.

Xiong Ye felt a sense of oppression when he heard their plan.

He already knew a lot of words, but it wasn’t that many. According to this situation, it wouldn’t be long before all the words he knew was learned by these priests... He had to learn more words from Zhou Ji!

While thinking of this and seeing that it was almost time for dinner, Xiong Ye didn’t hesitate to run back and prepare to have dinner and learn more words.

The priests of the Beast God Temple who wanted to learn more were reluctant when they looked at Xiong Ye’s back, but after thinking about it they went to find the priest of the Big Bear Tribe.

Perhaps the priest of the Big Bear Tribe would also know some of the things that the Beast God had taught?

The priest of the Big Bear Tribe did indeed know some things from the Beast God. For example, numbers, and for example...

By the time the priests of the Beast God Temple left, their faces were all painted with circles.

They were particularly satisfied with their new appearance.

At this time, Xiong Ye had finished his dinner. After eating, he looked expectantly at Zhou Ji.

Zhou Ji’s heart was tickled by his gaze–Xiong Ye... was he going to be proactive?

Xiong Ye said, “Zhou Ji, how come the place where I crushed the flowers and plants became a lawn?”

“So that it’s more convenient for you to jump in later.” Zhou Ji said.

“You’re so good to me.” Xiong Ye said.

Zhou Ji pinched Xiong Ye’s chin, “Then... are you going to repay me?”

“Zhou Ji, you’re so good to me. I didn’t learn properly before when you were teaching me words. It was really wrong of me... Teach me more words today. I’ll study hard!”

Zhou Ji: This wasn’t heading in the direction he’d imagined.

He’d started off by teaching Xiong Ye how to read Chinese characters because the nights were long in winter, but now... even if the nights were long, they could also sleep together. Why did he want to learn words?

Alright, he was willing to teach Xiong Ye more things and have Xiong Ye learn to read words so that they could have a common language in the future.

Zhou Ji began to teach him. Yet as a result, he felt that he was basically done, but Xiong Ye still wasn’t satisfied. “Zhou Ji, teach me more words!”

“Didn’t you dislike learning words? Why are you suddenly so interested?” Zhou Ji couldn’t help but ask.

“I need to teach others how to recognize words.” Xiong Ye said. Zhou Ji had asked him not to teach others how to cultivate, but he hadn’t stopped him from sharing other knowledge with everyone. He had already taught the priest a lot from a while ago.

“You’re actually putting someone else over me?” Zhou Ji said, “I’m going to punish you!”

Xiong Ye: “......” Alright then...

Xiong Ye was tossed around, but he was ultimately still a Beast King and was still in good spirits when he went out the next day.

However, he was then a little confused when he saw the priests of the Beast God Temple–the priests of the Beast God Temple had all written words on their faces!

“Xiong Ye, we know all the words you taught us yesterday. We’ve also learned a good way of recognizing words... it’s to write them on our faces! ... There’s twenty of us, so you can teach us twenty words a day, and we’ll write one on each face!” The priests said.

Xiong Ye: “......” He had to work hard and learn at least twenty words tonight before going to sleep!

All of a sudden, Xiong Ye gained a passion for learning.
