Chapter 93 Insufficient energy will cause one to fall into a deep sleep.
That day, Lin Ni woke up hungry while sleeping and went out to find something to eat. Because she had become very sleepy and clingy to Yao, Bai and Yan had been cooking for her for the past few days. After the incident where Lin Ni would rather go hungry than eat the food he cooked, Feng dared not cook for her anymore, for fear of starving her.
Yao carried Linni out of the restaurant, and everyone heard her stomach growling. Yao asked, "Is there anything to eat?"
Yan quickly said, "I've been simmering bone broth, I'll serve her a bowl right away."
Bai brought over a large wooden bowl, filled it with a big bone and some well-cooked meat, and brought it over.
Yao looked at her and put Lin Ni into Feng's arms: "You hold Lin Ni while she eats."
Linni glanced at him: "Where are you going?"
Yao kissed her head: "Have some soup first, I'll make you something delicious."
Lin Ni nodded and began to drink the soup and eat the meat.
Yao took the prepared salted meat, washed it with hot water, sliced it thinly, and brought it over. The men looked at him strangely when they saw him giving Lin Ni uncooked raw meat. Lin Ni never ate raw meat; she could always tell if the thicker parts weren't cooked through when they grilled it. Yan was a little surprised: "Yao, this salted meat..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Ni, upon seeing the salted meat, immediately stopped drinking the broth. She'd been drinking broth every day lately, and she found it awful! She picked up a piece of raw salted meat and put it in her mouth, then seemed to perk up completely: "Yao, this salted meat is so delicious!" Then she looked at Yan: "What's wrong with this salted meat?"
Yan gave an awkward smile: "No, it's nothing."
Lin Ni ignored him and quickly finished the plate of salted meat. After finishing, she looked at Yao with a hint of lingering desire and said, "I want to eat some more."
Yao smiled and said, "Don't eat too much at once. Rest for a while before eating."
Lin Ni could only nod, "Okay." Then she looked at Feng and said, "Feng, carry me back. I'll lie down for a while longer. Yao, make me more delicious food."
Yao nodded: "Okay."
Feng helped Lin Ni back onto the heated kang bed. Lin Ni was no longer as drowsy as before. She rolled around on the kang for a while, chatted with Feng for a bit, and then fell asleep.
After she fell asleep, Bai asked uncertainly, "Is Lin moving on to the next stage?"
Yao shook his head: "It's probably because she's been eating cooked meat all along, and she doesn't have enough energy for the baby in her belly to develop, which is why she's fallen into a deep sleep. Let's get her some raw meat for a while."
Yan: "But she never ate it before."
Bai glanced at him helplessly: "Didn't you see how much she enjoyed her food just now?"
Yan: "That's because the salted meat has been cured, so you can't tell."
Bai: "Then just make it so that it's not noticeable."
Yao, Bai, and Yan started preparing a feast for Lin Ni that looked cooked but was actually raw meat. After Lin Ni woke up, she ate grilled meat, grilled fish, and boiled pork slices, eating to her heart's content and successfully stuffing herself. After finishing, she patted her stomach and said, "This is the best meal I've had in a while! Yao, your cooking is getting better and better!"
Yao smiled and said, "I made the barbecue, but Bai and Yan made everything else!"
Linni walked over and gave Bai and Yan a hug and a kiss each: "This is a reward for you!"
Bai and Yan laughed happily.
Feng: These are just slices of meat that you can wash with hot water and then cut into pieces. Who doesn't know how to make them?
From that day on, Lin Ni's excessive sleepiness improved significantly, and she was able to stay awake for at least three or four hours each day. Time slipped away quietly during Lin Ni's pregnancy as she ate and slept.
As winter drew to a close, although the snow stopped falling, it began to rain incessantly, sometimes heavily, sometimes lightly. The sky was overcast, and the chill of the rainwater, carrying the icy chill of snowmelt, permeated the air, creating a damp, damp atmosphere everywhere. Water seeped into everyone's caves, then froze. Linni felt this was the most unbearable time of the entire winter, because the air was filled with icy moisture, and they had to stay by the fire all day to ward off the bone-chilling cold. She truly couldn't imagine how the women and their young, without a heated kang (traditional heated bed), had managed to survive those dreadful winters in previous years.
One night, a sudden gale arose, and torrential rain was accompanied by flashes of lightning across the sky, with thunderclaps booming as if they were right next to her ears. Linni experienced her first sleepless night during this period of pregnancy. She remained awake for a while, unable to fall back asleep due to the noise, and finally asked, "Is spring here?"
"Mm!" Feng responded from behind Yao.
"That's great!" Lin Ni said, then hugged Yao tightly. She was thinking about what she needed to do next: first, wait for Ye to finish his hibernation and return; second, the gestation period for females on the Beast God Continent was about 180 days, and the snake eggs in her belly would likely hatch around the 60th or 70th day of spring; third, she needed to leave the Tiger Beast Tribe for the Ten Thousand Ren Cliff, but should she leave before or after giving birth?
Then she remembered she hadn't meditated in a long time. It snowed heavily on the day of the third blessing ceremony in winter, so she stayed home. The weather wasn't good afterwards, and she'd become very sleepy, feeling constantly dizzy and lightheaded. Later, although she felt better and could live a normal life again, she still fell asleep as soon as her head hit the bed. Sometimes she'd think of meditating at home instead of attending the blessing ceremony, but she'd fall asleep again while meditating. Since she couldn't sleep now, she decided to meditate! Great, omnipresent, and omnipotent Beast God! While you slept in that desolate volcano, did you still think of the beastmen of the Beastman Continent? When will you, mighty one, awaken again to drive away the evil forces invading the Beastman Continent? The beastmen need you, and Linni needs you too! (A series of praises to the Beast God follow...)
After a night of thunder, spring officially arrived on the Orcish continent. Following over ten days of heavy rain, the winter snow finally began to melt, and large swathes of ice were washed down the mountains by the rain. Linni's house was built not far from the waterfall, which had transformed from a small cascade into a large one, its rushing waters never ceasing. Moreover, the mountain stream couldn't drain away quickly enough, causing the water level in the pool to rise, already reaching the doorway. Linni had particularly enjoyed eating fish during the latter part of winter, so she had long since eaten all the fish in the pool. She wasn't worried about the fish being washed away, but she was very concerned that the mountain stream would wash her house in.
Fortunately, the sun, which had been missing for nearly thirty days, reappeared, and the sky finally cleared!
As the snow and ice were washed away by the rain, the cold weather finally began to warm up. Although the air indoors was still damp and cold, standing outdoors in the warm sunshine, one could feel the strong sense of spring.
