Wearing to the beast world: she just wants to open up wasteland and farm

Chapter 12 Preparing to Make Salt
Ji Yue blushed, and buried her head on Qian Yuan's chest, not daring to look at him, lest she should be delusional.

It was too windy and cold by the lake, so Qian Yuan took her back to the cave, and then came back to carry the long-haired pig away.According to Jiyue's request, he went to the sheep tribe to exchange a lot of new wool.He went to carry back the bamboo that Ji Yue had cut down before, and he learned it after she demonstrated it only once. He took over all the work and let Ji Yue lie down on the animal skin mat to rest.

In the evening, Ji Yue only ate a little roasted pork and small oranges, drank some hot water, and fell asleep leaning on the beast body Qian Yuan.Qian Yuan put the fox tail on Ji Yue's body to keep her warm, and fell asleep with a faint smile lingering on the tip of his nose.

A good night's sleep.

In the next few days, the pain was still unbearable, but fortunately, there was no need to go outside to fetch water to boil hot water.Every morning, Qian Yuan used a bamboo tube to go to the lake to fill it with water and put it on the platform outside the cave. She also picked up a pile of dry firewood and dead leaves and piled it outside for her to use at any time.

"I went hunting, you wait for me to come back obediently, you are not allowed to run around, you know?" When Jiyue woke up, she heard Qian Yuan say this, and she suddenly became sober.

"Yeah, definitely don't run around!" Otherwise, she will be angry again, and she promises not to run around!
Jiyue was not idle either. When her stomach ached after drinking hot water, she used a long dagger to dig a hole in the mountain wall to expand a space to store the food Qian Yuan hunted.She had seen it at the entrance of the cave before, and the current position is about five or six meters away from the top of the mountain, which is not too high. This is at most a rock hill, not a mountain.

So she plans to dig a space further up the current cave to reduce the weight of the upper floor.However, this is a large project and cannot be completed overnight.

Another four days passed, and Jiyue finally got rid of her grueling period, and she slowly dug out the stone cave where the prey was stored.However, Qian Yuan also scolded her severely for a few days, saying that she was disobedient, and felt distressed at the same time.

In order to make it easier to go to the forest to solve internal emergencies, Jiyue asks Qian Yuan to help him make a ladder frame.Use tree trunks of different lengths to nail them into the ground, and climb up layer by layer to make simple stairs.Jiyue was still a little apprehensive when she first stepped on it. If the whole family is gone, it will be over.

But I have to say that Qian Yuan's strength is really great, she just watched him hold the tree stump and plunge down, steady!

It’s just that Qian Yuan still doesn’t feel safe, and after hunting every day, he has to go to the forest to cut some thick boards to put on the stakes and fix them with wooden nails, widening the table.Jiyue was very grateful, and also praised Qian Yuan's cleverness by drawing inferences from one instance.

Qian Yuan goes hunting every day, but eats every day, so there are only two wild deer in stock so far.Ji Yue cut off the meat, and hung it to dry with the bark left over from the ladder before, so that it could last longer.But it is easy to spoil if it is not salted.

Mineral salt is definitely not easy to find, so Jiyue plans to find sea salt.The lake water here tastes a little salty, but it’s not obvious. It’s because the water was almost boiled down accidentally before, and the remaining water tastes a little salty.So she guessed that the lake should be an inland lake, and there should be a sea.

Ji Yue thought about it all night, and prepared to implement it early the next morning.

When she woke up, Qian Yuan had already been digging stones at the foot of the mountain?

"Yuan, is there a sea here?" She ate the green fruit and walked down, squatting beside Qian Yuan, watching him digging the stone jar boredly.She is no stranger to Yuan's comprehension ability, she is as smart as him.

Qian Yuan disliked that the bamboo tube didn't hold much and was easy to fall over, so he brought back a huge boulder by the lake, and was going to use a bone knife to dig out the big stone tube, but the bone knife at the back couldn't bear it and broke.

Ji Yue silently gave him the other short dagger, the silly fox found it novel, saying that this thin knife was not as hard as a bone knife, and ended up slapping his face, and now he couldn't put it down after using it.

"Hai? What's that?" Qian Yuan stopped his hands and glanced at Jiyue, and was used to the strange names she often popped up.

For example, she calls sweet fruit Xiaojuzi, melon she calls pumpkin, and crunchy fruit she calls cucumber.Also, when he was cutting trees in the forest, she pulled out a melon on the ground, called sweet potato, and said it was delicious.When she boiled the raw and astringent things, they became sweet and soft.

"Hmm..." How do I explain this, "That's right, the lake water tastes weird to drink."

She didn't know what to call salt here, and what to say about salty.There's still a lot to learn, huh.

"You're talking about Liantian Lake, right? The lake water there tastes a bit bitter to drink. Yue asked what it does? The water there isn't good to drink." Qian Yuan put down his dagger and frowned at her, disapproving of this idea.

"It's not for drinking. That Liantian Lake is called the sea. The taste of the water is not bitter, but salty. But the crystals left after evaporating the water are edible. Those crystals are the reason why the water becomes salty." Ji Yue patiently explained road.

"Well, if you want, I'll take you there. Since Yue said that it can be eaten, it must be edible!" Recently, his cognition has broadened a lot. The food is delicious.

"With it, a lot of food will become delicious! Let's go now!" The sooner the salt is made, the better, she really doesn't want to eat tasteless barbecue!And if you eat barbecue every day, you will get angry.

Jiyue packed a dozen bamboo tubes in animal skin bags and tied them up, waiting for Qian Yuan to leave.

She can't wait!

Qian Yuan poured out the gravel in the stone tube, brushed the dust off his body, and reluctantly returned the dagger to Ji Yue.

Ji Yue burst out laughing, and the thought of taking back the dagger disappeared in her hand.Make a leather sheath for it when you come back, and Qian Yuan can carry it with you.

Not long ago, he pinned it directly on his waist, accidentally scratched his skin, and almost scared the silly fox to tears, Ji Yue felt distressed and funny at the same time.Now the waist is still covered with mugwort leaf pulp to stop bleeding, and wrapped in animal skin strips.

Most of the animal skins that were exchanged before were cut into clothes or made into mattresses, so it was difficult to dismantle such a small piece to make a leather sheath.

"It's amazing looking at it now!" Qian Yuan stared at her empty palm and exclaimed.

Just like when Yue took it out, it changed with a swipe, and now it disappears with a swipe.

Yue said it was her ability and it was a secret, but Yue was willing to share it with him, he was very happy!
"I also think it's amazing!" Even she herself felt that this body was like a mystery.He doesn't look like a normal person, has strange abilities, and a special physique.

When she first saw Qian Yuan transforming from a fox into a human, she wondered if she was transformed from a monster. If so, it would make sense, but there are some things that don't make sense.But after an interview, she couldn't turn into an animal.

Qian Yuan skillfully hugged Jiyue out of the cave, glanced at it from the corner of the eye, and the corner of his mouth curled up in joy.

After his and Yue's efforts, it became more like a residence in just five days.I believe that soon, they will be able to have their own home!
The route this time was similar to the previous ones, but it was almost straight and did not reach the grassland.Ji Yue has observed the direction of sunrise and sunset, and knows the azimuth map here.

The sun rises directly in front of the cave where they live, so it is east.Falling from directly behind, so west.Going to the Yangzu tribe is in the northeast direction, and the lake is just a little north of the east.

They passed over the lake, and Ji Yue was surprised to find that the lake was a bit like a heart.

"Yuan, let's call this lake Heart Lake from now on!"

"Is it this heart?"

Qian Yuan pointed to his left heart.

"Yeah!" Ji Yue squinted and smiled.

　Thanks to Jiuhe Qiuqiu for the reward
