River Fluff Beast
Jian Mo watched the feline beastmen's serpentine movements from afar, feeling utterly impressed.
Cats on Earth are like liquid, moving with incredible agility.
Unexpectedly, in the world of beastmen, the big cats were more than a hundred times larger than ordinary house cats, yet they were still incredibly agile.
Watching the big orange A Hu drag its tail and tiptoe, it seems it couldn't even crush a single weed. It's hard to imagine that this guy is considered clumsy among feline beastmen.
Besides feline orcs, some canine orcs are also quite agile.
Wu Jiong was very agile. Despite being such a large wolf, he could still turn around nimbly in the narrow field, carrying and inserting pieces of wood without bumping into any beastmen or breaking any plants.
It has to be said, this really takes some skill.
Jian Mo watched for a while with an appreciative look.
The giant beasts worked quickly, and since Jian Mo's family had many fields, many people were helping them with the work.
After finishing, Jian Mo invited everyone to go home for tea.
Nobody was polite to him.
It was a bit chilly today, so in addition to preparing regular tea, Jian Mo also made ginger tea.
Some people dislike this pungent smell, while others find it unique.
Everyone ate roasted nuts and dried fruit, drank tea and chatted, and even a windy day became warm and cozy.
After chatting for a while, everyone said goodbye and went home.
Jian Mo went out to see the guest off, but as soon as she stepped outside, a strong gust of wind nearly blew her to the ground.
Qing Kuo and the others reached out to pull him, but Wu Jiong was the quickest, immediately putting his arm around his waist.
Jian Mo said nervously, "The wind is too strong! If it were the little ones, wouldn't they be blown away?"
Qing Kuo: "That's because they're kept at home on windy days and can't go out."
Jian Mo then realized that she hadn't seen the cubs today; they were probably all strictly ordered to stay home by their parents.
Jian Mo remembered, "Oh no, we haven't gone to see Honey Sparrow yet."
Wu Jiong put his arm around him. "I checked this morning, the wind in the woods is relatively calm, the Honey Sparrow are doing well."
Jian Mo: "Didn't they say the wind was going to get stronger? Let's bring them back."
They still have the cages they used to keep the Honey Sparrow, so they can take the cages with them to collect the Honey Sparrow.
At this point, there's no need to worry about whether the Honey Sparrow will run away after being disturbed. It's better to wait until this windy period is over before considering it, otherwise, if the Honey Sparrow's nests are blown away, there will be nothing left.
The two hurried to the back mountain.
The wind was a bit calmer in the woods, but the Honey Sparrow was still struggling to survive in its nest.
The reason they weren't blown away along with their nest was thanks to Jian Mo's earlier use of fish glue to firmly attach their nest to the tree— Jian Mo was worried that some mischievous chicks or birds might simply snatch the Honey Sparrow away, so she glued it on.
This action has now helped them a lot.
The Honey Sparrow were nestled in their nest, and the wind blew from all directions, ruffling their feathers.
Many Honey Sparrow couldn't even open their eyes, huddled in their nests looking like drowned rats, a pitiful sight.
Jian Mo and Wu Jiong forcefully broke the Honey Sparrow off and stuffed it into the cage.
The Honey Sparrow chirped a couple of times and didn't react much further.
Jian Mo: "I wonder how the Honey Sparrow in the mountains are doing? With such a strong wind, I hope they didn't blow their nests away too?"
Wu Jiong: "Probably not. The cliff side is sheltered from the wind, and strong winds blow every year, but I've never seen their nests blown away."
Jian Mo was still worried. "Shall we go up the mountain to take a look after the wind stops in a couple of days?"
Wu Jiong: "Okay."
The two quickly stuffed the Honey Sparrow and its nest into the cage and took it home to keep it safe for the time being.
Jian Mo looked at the Honey Sparrow, then quickly went to look at the Pack-Pack Beast and the Long-tailed Bird again.
The Long-tailed Bird seemed quite calm, pacing back and forth in the animal pen.
The much larger Pack-Pack Beast huddled together, trembling, looking utterly cowardly.
Jian Mo sighed; this beast's courage was far less than a bird's.
Jian Mo went to see Jiujiu and Ying'ao again.
Jiujiu and Ying'ao didn't go out; they were currently huddled in their nest.
Especially Jiujiu, who sat obediently in the nest like a mother hen incubating her eggs, with such a peaceful expression.
Jian Mo rarely saw Jiujiu in this pose, and it felt a little strange, but she didn't think much of it.
Jian Mo patted Jiujiu's belly. "Jiujiu, Ying'ao, you two stay in the nest and don't go out. It's too windy outside. Ying'ao, you'll have to make do with the food we've prepared for the next couple of days."
Jiujiu enthusiastically in response. "Chirp!"
Ying'ao turned to look at Jiujiu and chirped, "Chirp."
The wind was so strong that Jian Mo swayed slightly, but luckily Wu Jiong caught her in time.
Jiujiu was a little worried and nudged Jian Mo with its head. "Jiujiu!"
Urged on by the urgency, Jian Mo quickly agreed, "Okay, we'll go back now. You all stay here obediently."
Jiujiu chirp!
Jian Mo and Wu Jiong braved the wind to get home.
Wu Jiong suddenly said, "Jiujiu is acting strangely; it seems to be hiding something."
Jian Mo: "Huh?!"
Chapter 144 River Fluff Beast
Wu Jiong said that Jiujiu had hidden something, and he was most likely right.
Jian Mo's hand rested on the doorknob. "What did Jiujiu hide?"
Wu Jiong: "I'm not sure, it might be a toy or something, anyway, its condition is off."
The wind was getting stronger, Jian Mo thought it unnecessary to make the child suffer in this weather, so she said, "Forget it, let's wait until the weather gets better. Come on, let's go inside."
As she spoke, Jian Mo hugged Wu Jiong from behind and pushed him into the house.
Once the door closed, the cold wind was kept out, and the room became exceptionally quiet.
Wu Jiong reached out, grasped Jian Mo's hand in return, and turned to kiss him.
In this windy weather, the two had plenty of time to do other things.
After kissing for a while, the two went upstairs.
It wasn't until several hours later that Wu Jiong came down to fetch water and let the two of them bathe.
