Chapter 117 Silkworm

Rosalie ducked her head, suddenly a little shy.

“I only found out a few days ago.

“It’s probably just been a month.”

“That’s already close, then. Give it four or five more months, and the baby will be here!”

Rosalie looked up, mouth dropping open with a startled “Huh?” Wasn’t pregnancy supposed to last nine months?

Seeing she was clearly a rookie at this, Grace cheerfully explained, “The stronger your husbands are, the shorter the pregnancy.

“From what I’ve seen, yours are pretty capable. I’d say four months and a bit, tops.”

Rosalie’s face went crimson all the way, and she dropped her gaze again.

Strong? Yeah… they were pretty strong.

Ahem. Her mind took a wrong turn for a second. Rosalie shook her head hard, chasing away all the indecent images.

Grace didn’t stand on ceremony at all as she listed off all the things to watch for during pregnancy. Rosalie nodded along to each point, showing she got it.

Just then, Christopher came over, clutching a squirming bug like treasure, and offered it to Rosalie.

From a distance, the bug had looked familiar. Rosalie held out her hand, and Christopher carefully dropped it into her palm.

One close look and joy shot through her. Wasn’t this a silkworm?

Once silkworms formed their cocoons, they produced silk. With silk, she could make clothes- and finally stop wearing these thick, stuffy hides.

Excitement bubbled in her chest. She hurriedly asked, “Christopher, where did you find this bug?”

Christopher pointed outside. “There’s a big tree out there, super big,

“The leaves are covered in bugs like this!”

Christopher ran ahead to lead the way. From far off, Rosalic could already see a lush, emerald- green giant of a tree, its trunk massive and completely out of place among the others.

The foliage was so high she couldn’t see clearly from the ground, so Elijah simply scooped her up, pushed off with his toes, and deposited her neatly on a sturdy branch.

Rosalic focused her eyes and almost yelped. Weren’t those mulberry leaves?

Some of the leaves were as big as a human head, full of ragged holes from being chewed.

Plump silkworms lay sprawled on them, happily resting. A quick sweep of her gaze told her there had to be hundreds on this one tree alone.

Elijah sat behind Rosalie on the branch, guarding her.

Rosalie turned, eyes shining, unable to hide her delight. “Elijah, these bugs are valuable.”

Elijah glanced at the worms and said seriously, “Matriarch, these can’t be eaten.”

Rosalie smacked his arm, laughing. “Put me down, quickly.”

Elijah gathered her into his arms and dropped down from the tree. Rosalie turned to Grace and called, “Grace! These bugs are a good thing. From now on, our tribe is going to raise them specially!”

Once Rosalie announced the bug-raising plan to the tribe, many people looked baffled. But when they heard that raising them could earn coin or be traded for rice-much easier work than farming paddies-no one complained.

With nothing to object to, they accepted the idea quite happily.

Following the huge mulberry tree deeper into the woods, Rosalie discovered several more mulberry trees lined up neatly behind it.

Each mulberry was enormous, three times the size of an ordinary one,

With silkworms and mulberry trees secured, all she needed now were a few houses built nearby, especially for raising them.

When the worms started cocooning, they couldn’t just be left on the branches. They’d need rooms to gather them into,

That way, harvesting the silk would be much easier.

With the sun sinking low, Rosalie picked out a handful of especially strong beastmen and paid them a few wild boars as their fee to help build the sheds.
