Stone Age Husband Raising Journal

Chapter 167.2 Extra: Honeymoon

After Xi Shi and the others had worked in the tribe for over a month, Zhou Ji finally started to use paper. His windows were also covered with paper.

Although the paper used to cover his windows wasn’t particularly transparent, it was still better than when the windows were closed and the room was dark!

And ever since they had toilet paper, it had become really convenient to go to the toilet.

Zhou Ji was very fond of the paper.

Of course, the people who liked paper most was not Zhou Ji, but the priests of the Beast God Temple.

The priests knelt on the ground and felt that paper was another thing that the Beast God had given to them.

With paper and words, they could write down all the things they’d encountered. How wonderful was this?

These priests were increasingly eager to learn how to read and write.

The time Zhou Ji had to play with his bear at night was compressed once again...

Not only that, the nursery rhymes had already become insufficient... Zhou Ji asked Xiong Ye to write down all the chants that the priest of their tribe had previously had him memorize, and then gave those to the priests.

The priests really enjoyed it.

On another day, Xiong Ye gave the priests another piece of paper.

The priests accepted it, looked ecstatic, then wrote the words they didn’t recognize on their companions’ faces so that they could learn them.

After dealing with these priests, Xiong Ye was about to go do his own work when Xiong Qi came over to find him. “Xiong Ye, something’s come up!”

“What’s the matter?” Xiong Ye asked.

“Well, when the tribal chief of the Mountain Wolf Tribe came, wasn’t there someone in the group from one of the small tribes nearby? That person said that he admired the Big Bear Tribe very much, and is willing to go back and persuade his tribe to join the Big Bear Tribe and help us work!”

“There’s something like this?” Xiong Ye was a little surprised.

“Yes! A lot of people in those small tribes don’t have enough to eat and are often eaten by dinosaurs. It’s different in our tribe. Although they would have to work, they can eat their fill of intestines, and when there aren’t enough intestines, they can also eat meat.” Xiong Qi explained.

The person from that small tribe had actually gotten fatter after coming to the Big Bear Tribe. They said that they’d never eaten so much before in their lives.

“In that case, have him go back and bring back the people of his tribe.” Xiong Ye said.

“Alright!” Xiong Qi agreed, then continued, “But now, there’s another problem. It’s like this, the priest is worried that they won’t really join the Big Bear Tribe. Perhaps they’ll just leave after spending winter in the Big Bear Tribe...”

Xiong Ye said, “The priest is thinking too much... Our tribe is so good now. Would those people be willing to leave after coming here? Also... Our tribe is so powerful. Would they be able to leave?”

Xiong Qi: That made sense!

The people of the Green Hill Tribe used to mention the Green Hill Tribe from time to time, but now they all only remembered the Big Bear Tribe!

Xiong Qi let the person from the small tribe go.

When Xi Shi saw this, he quickly said, “Our tribe is also willing to join the Big Bear Tribe!”

He’d never returned to his own tribe and didn’t know how it was doing... Also, had his mate fallen for anyone else? There were a lot of people coveting his mate!

He felt that he couldn’t let things go on like this.

“Your Mountain Wolf Tribe is a big tribe, isn’t it? It’s also willing to join the Big Bear Tribe?” Xiong Qi was surprised.

“Willing. I’m the tribal chief, and I’m here. How could they be unwilling?” Xi Shi said. In fact, he was quite worried about the Mountain Wolf Tribe.

The Mountain Wolf Tribe hadn’t been a big tribe before he joined it. At the time, it had been a very small tribe. Now that he’d left... The people of his tribe may not have enough food for the winter.

“How about you guys also send someone back?” Xiong Qi asked.

“I’ll go! It’s enough for me to go. I’m faster.” Xi Shi said.

“You...” Xiong Qi was a little unsure about letting Xi Shi go.

“My son is here. Don’t worry, I won’t run off.” Xi Shi said.

Xiong Qi: He was even less assured now that he’d heard this. You aren’t good to your son at all. You even give your own work to your son to do!

However, despite thinking this, Xiong Qi still let Xi Shi go.

Because even if he stayed, he wasn’t working anyway.

Lang Sha was immediately relieved after Xi Shi left–his father was gone, and he finally no longer needed to do the work of two people on his own!

However... Xiong Qi directly arranged Lang Shi’s work for him. “I see that you don’t have any problem doing the work of two people... do it well!”

Lang Sha: “......”

Regardless of what Lang Sha finally went through, the Big Bear Tribe’s population had increased by a lot by the time winter arrived.

Xi Shi, who’d brought the entire tribe back with him, no longer needed to pick up dung–Xiong Ye had given him a management position in order to thank him for bringing over so many people.

The Big Bear Tribe that had originally only had a few hundred people, now had several thousand people!

Zhou Ji had seen large cities with over tens of millions of people, and didn’t think much of having several thousand people in a tribe, but the people of the Big Bear Tribe were very proud of this fact.

However, they now already had enough people. In the future, even if other tribes wanted to join them, they wouldn’t accept them. Of course, they could accept those tribes as their affiliated tribes.

When there were only dozens or even hundreds of people in a tribe, it was very simple to manage the tribe. It was almost like having a large family.

However, when a tribe had thousands of people, it could no longer be managed that way.

Zhou Ji felt that the Big Bear Tribe needed some laws and regulations. Additionally, families would also need to be made more distinct. They couldn’t always remain the same as before, where everyone was like one big family.

Of course, all of this would happen slowly over time.

In any case, they now had priests and Beast Kings, and nobody would dare to stir up any trouble.

The snow fell and covered the land in silver. Winter had arrived.

Now that winter had come again, there wasn’t much greenery outside.

However, in Zhou Ji’s courtyard, there were always some plants growing tenaciously... Those were all things that Zhou Ji liked to eat.

After they entered winter, a lot of work was no longer as easy to do. Xiong Ye didn’t plan to push the people of the tribe to work, so the people of the Big Bear Tribe were all freed up.

Of course, this also included Xiong Ye.

Zhou Ji had made a soft cotton quilt and made a lot of delicious food. Xiong Ye felt that this winter was the most comfortable winter he’d ever had.

Last year, he’d also thought the same. This year, when he looked back, he felt that last year wasn’t very comfortable. By the time next year came around, he would probably feel that the next year was even more comfortable.

However, during this winter, there was one thing that happened that made him feel depressed.

Winter had arrived, and the priests of the Beast God Temple had also become idle. The idle priests began to pester him to learn more.

They were so active and enthusiastic that Xiong Ye could only purposely learn more himself to avoid having these priests catch up to him.

Zhou Ji: I want to sleep with you, but you actually want to learn?!

In the end, Zhou Ji finally came up with a solution.

Zhou Ji directly brought Xiong Ye away to the seaside for their honeymoon. As for the priests of the Beast God Temple... Zhou Ji told them to take advantage of the fact that everyone had time during winter to teach the people of the tribe who were willing to learn how to read. The children especially needed to learn properly.

These people simply had too much free time. If they were given something to do, they would stop pestering them.

After arranging work for the priests of the Beach Tribe, Zhou Ji chose a sunny day to head out with Xiong Ye to the place where the Beach Tribe was located.

The place where the Big Bear Tribe was located was covered in ice and snow, but the place where the Beach Tribe was located was approximately ten degrees Celsius. The climate there was quite pleasant.

Because Hai Feng had been there not long ago and had explained things to the people of the Beach Tribe, the people of the Beach Tribe also paid special attention and respect to Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye.

Last time when they’d come to trade for salt, Zhou Ji hadn’t had enough seafood. This time, he really ate his fill. What satisfied him the most was that he now had garlic.

Lobsters, crabs, sea fish, and so on, were tastier when steamed with mashed garlic!

It was just that Xiong Ye didn’t actually forget about learning words...

In the time between meals, he would write words on the beach to teach Xiong Ye. Xiong Ye was often busy learning words and ignoring him... Zhou Ji was a little depressed.

Zhou Ji felt that he was now lacking a dictionary.

Without books, it was difficult for him to come up with words to teach Xiong Ye.

However, there was no dictionary. As for books... Zhou Ji suddenly felt that he could write them.

Even if he hadn’t studied literature, and his writing was poor, so what? As the first person to write a book in this continent, anything he wrote casually would still be regarded as a treasure!

Wasn’t it obvious that these people had been very happy when he casually made up a little rhyme?

As for what to write about... Zhou Ji planned to write a travel journal. For example, now that they’d come to the Beach Tribe this time, he could write that there was a Beach Tribe in a certain location, with so and so types of food, and how to cook the food to make it tasty...

Zhou Ji suddenly thought of a book from Earth–‘the Classic of Mountains and Rivers’.

In the future, time would bring great changes to the world, and the eras would change. Would the food travel journal that he writes become the same kind of existence as ‘the Classic of Mountains and Rivers’?

It was very exciting to think about.

Zhou Ji had thought of a great idea, but the paper he’d brought with him was all toilet paper. He also didn’t have a pen, so if he really wanted to write it, it would have to wait until later.

This winter, he would focus on having a good time with Xiong Ye and play around.

There wasn’t much variety in the food available at the Beach Tribe. Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye stayed at the tribe for a few days before making their way south.

The climate there would be more pleasant, and there would be more things to eat.

Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye had been right. After leaving the Beach Tribe and making their way south, they wandered further and further away from the cold. Not only that, they found some strange things to eat.

For example, they found a two meter long sea scorpion that looked very terrifying.

For example, a Cameroceras that was over six meters long and looked a bit like a squid, with a spiral shell on its back.

Another example was a ten meter long Dunkleosteus that could swallow up a dolphin or human whole with one bite.

......

The Cameroceras could easily strangle smaller crocodiles to death, but it was caught by Xiong Ye with ease, and then half roasted and half fried by Zhou Ji.

The Dunkleosteus was very, very big, but it was also caught by Xiong Ye, and Zhou Ji made an entire feast with the fish.

In addition to that... the taste of some of the dinosaurs that lived in the sea or near the sea was also quite good.

Although the Tanystropheus’s neck didn’t taste as good as duck necks from Earth, it was still pretty good to gnaw on.

The Dragon Feng’s fin-like back legs was particularly tasty.

Elasmosaurus tasted a bit like turtle...

Zhou Ji remembered all of these things one by one, and decided to write his own food book, no, travel journal.
