nFortunately, Cain was still capable of remaining calm. He stopped Old Nick’s grubby hands before Old Nick touched Su Tang.

nHe asked calmly, “What do you mean by half a year?”

nSu Tang pointed at the sun as she said, “Each sunrise and sunset is equal to one day. Thirty days is equal to one month. Twelve months is equal to one year.”

nCain realized what she meant while everyone remained dumbstruck.

n“So half a year is six months and 180 days!”

nSu Tang clapped happily. “Uh-huh! That’s right!”

nCain’s following words went against Su Tang’s understanding of the world.

n“The cold season lasts 180 days too. If we store a lot of chestnuts and some meat before the rainy season is over, we won’t have to go hungry during the cold season!”

nSu Tang was a little lost!

nWhat did he mean when he said the cold season was 180 days?

nIf she was not mistaken, the cold season ought to be winter!

nShe hurriedly interrupted, “Hang on! Are there only two seasons here?”

nEveryone looked confused and did not understand what Su Tang meant!

nCain paused before he realized what she was asking and replied, “We have four seasons in total when it’s warm, hot, rainy, and cold. Each season lasts 180 days.”

nSu Tang clutched the clothing at her chest tightly and looked bewildered.

n“Is it different for your tribe?”

nSu Tang was at a loss for a moment.

n“Of course not. Do you know what a year is? Each year consists of a cycle of seasons from the warm to cold seasons! Each season is about three months, and there are 12 months in a year!”

nCain frowned. “So that means half a year is only one season here!”

nSu Tang nodded.

nYuanyuan was completely confused until she heard what Cain said and asked quizzically, “Tangtang, the seasons throughout Beast World are the same. Why is your tribe different?”

nSu Tang nervously swallowed when Yuanyuan looked at her quizzically.

nOh no! She made a mistake!

nWas she not blatantly saying that she was not from Beast World?

nSu Tang instantly felt anxious!

nBefore she could come up with an answer, she could hear Meng Ze coughing.

n“Cough, cough… Yuanyuan, I want a drink!”

nYuanyuan promptly turned her attention to Meng Ze.

nYuanyuan looked at the empty earthenware jar with some remnants of goldenrod inside. She asked Su Tang, “I’m going to get Meng Ze more water. Do you still want this?”

nSu Tang shook her head a little anxiously. “N-no, I don’t…”

nYuanyuan did not detect anything amiss. Instead, she nodded before she brought the earthenware jar to the river.

nSu Tang shrank her head meekly and did not dare even to breathe hard.

nCain glanced at Old Nick, who instantly caught his drift.

nHe picked up a bundle of herbs he tossed aside in excitement earlier and said, “Su Tang, this is what I found. Is there any goldenrod here?”

nSu Tang raised her head and looked at Cain and Meng Ze furtively. They looked normal and did not feel suspicious of her after hearing what Yuanyuan said.

nShe exhaled in relief before she studied the plants resembling weeds that Old Nick brought back.

nSu Tang failed to detect the thoughtful look in Cain’s cat-like eyes when she lowered her head.

nShe did not bear much hope when she looked at it but surprisingly found something useful among the weeds.
