Interstellar Gardener Life

Chapter 5
Early the next morning, when the black-maned hunting team was busy putting their luggage on the mounts, the two young men had already set off.

Their breakfast is broth and sweet potatoes.Sweet potatoes are stored in cellars.As for the fresh fruits and wild vegetables, those have not been picked yet.

"We are so early." Yuri gnawed on the sweet potato.

"You want to be early, don't you. You don't want to watch them go and then go yourself." Charlie's breakfast was finished.The flying carpet is smooth and smooth under his control, and the speed is not too fast, so the wind is not strong, which does not prevent Yuri from continuing his breakfast at all.

"Yes, I really think so. But you may not be able to get up so early, so I thought, if they go first, it's okay, I can sleep in bed, and I don't have to send them off anyway..." Yuri said that later he changed It became a grunt, and then he shrugged his shoulders vigorously, "Oh, after all these years, I came back and was suspected of being a spy. This feeling is really unpleasant! It's still unpleasant to think about it now, even though it was the day before yesterday .”

"They shouldn't be targeting you. They may have encountered some bad things in the past few years."

"Huh?" Yuri thought for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, definitely. The battle where I was captured is not over. The Great Migration is not over yet, everything is not over yet."

Charlie turned to look at Yuri, and then he reached back and patted Yuri.

Yuri gnawed off the last piece of sweet potato skin, wiped his mouth: "Check, is there anything to eat by the sea?"

"Well, are you not full?"

"Breakfast is full and I'm thinking about lunch and dinner. It's more enjoyable than thinking about those things."

"There should be crabs, and there are fish in the sea. It's not difficult to catch some. But the crabs in this season are getting fatter, and they are not at their fattest yet."

"oh oh?"

"Fattest in fall. Before winter. Before they burrow and go dormant."

"Then get some big guys."

"Yes, if you catch the big ones, there will be a lot of meat."

After Yuri's breakfast was over, Charlie accelerated the speed of the flying carpet.

At noon, Yuri found a group of chocobos passing by from a distance.So they drove over, circled around the area a few times, and successfully found the bird's nest.

Chocobos move in flocks, and their nests are not far from each other.

The flying carpet was close to the ground, and Yuri jumped down: "It turned out to be like this from the sky, and it was not obvious at all-the bird's nests found before were all found from the ground, and it was not obvious. It seems that they are not only guarding against the ground. The thieves, but also guard against flying robbers." He pushed aside the grass, and happily glanced at the nearby bird nests, "I have two, and you have one."

"I think—a quarter of it will be enough for me." Charlie looked at the eggs that couldn't be clasped between his hands. "A third at most."

"Okay, the three of me, you rub a little, and let them stay here for the rest."

"Or bring two more. You can have some for dinner and tomorrow morning as a side dish."

"That's it."

They chose those nests with more than one egg, took one egg from each nest, and took five in total.Then they flew a distance and lowered the flying carpet.Pick up firewood to bake bird eggs.

They don't want to bake next to the bird's nest.It's easy to be spotted by birds that way, and then you will be mobbed by angry birds-they are not afraid, they can run and win, but then the lunch will be ruined.

After lunch they rested for a while, and then continued on their way; and when evening came, they reached the sea.
-
Sure enough, there are a lot of crabs, but the big ones are in the water, and the ones running around on the beach are some small ones; there are fish further from the shore.

The two had vegetables for their dinner, which were a large handful of young bracken picked on the road—it rained the night before, and the bracken under the shade of the trees and in the crevices of the rocks grew juicy.

"How would you like to eat your eggs? Soup or baked? Or with some flour?"

"How to make it delicious?"

"It's delicious with flour and a little bracken. Their eggs have a stronger taste than eggs."

"Listen to you."

"That's it. I'm starting to make dinner. How about you?"

"Are you urging me to take the salt out of the sea?" Charlie changed his posture, "I think it may not be appropriate to use the fire element to disperse the water element. We have to find some flat rocks, preferably on top of them." It is slightly concave, and then the seawater is raised up, the rocks are heated, the seawater is dried, and the sea salt is left, and this process is repeated continuously, and when the salt accumulates to a certain thickness, it is scraped and collected. "

"Well, it doesn't matter which one it is, you can do it, can't you?"

"Of course. Forget it, I'll try everything."

Yuri shrugged, watched Charlie walk towards the sea, and smiled helplessly.

Charlie is a little absent-minded today.Maybe it was because they talked about things in their hometown last night.
-
Yuri quickly got dinner ready, and with the soup simmering in the pot, he walked over to Charlie.

Charlie just tried using fire elementals to dispel water elementals.Sure enough, the salt ran away with the water element.At this moment, he noticed the footsteps behind him, and Charlie turned his head, and then he was hugged by Yuri.

"Check."

"Ok?"

"I love you."

"Oh, I know..." Charlie was a little surprised, which made him not fluent in the first few words, and then he relaxed and his language level returned to normal, "I love you too, you know."

"Ah."

"Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

"I thought you'd like to hear it."

"Yes."

"It seems that dispersing won't work, right? We need to find a larger rock. Maybe a few hundred meters south from here. When we flew over just now, I saw it from a distance. There are some larger rocks there."

"Okay, let's go and have a look after we eat."
-
Before going to bed for the night, they finalized where they would work tomorrow.It's just that the sea breeze is too strong, and without a tent, it's not very good to sleep on the beach at night.So the two flew back for more than ten minutes and settled down on a small ridge facing the sun.

Yuri cleaned up the natives: some small bugs, and some tenacious weeds.

Charles caused the earth to raise small columns, ten centimeters high; then he made a large flat and thin slab of stone, and covered it.

"We have a bed?" Yuri was surprised, but at the same time he was very happy, "Do you still need a bonfire? I don't think so. The bonfire sometimes attracts guests. Do you feel cold? Don't worry, you can hug me to sleep. "

Charlie smiled at the beginning, but when he heard the last sentence, he rolled his eyes helplessly.

Yuri laughed out loud, and then he cleared his throat: "Holding me may not be a good idea—in this case, I'll hold you."

Charlie was amused and amused.

"I love you." Yuri looked at Charlie, looking at the guy who was amused by him under the light of the stars and the moon, and couldn't help repeating it.

"Because I can do this?" Charlie pointed to the stone bed deliberately.

"No, no, it has nothing to do with this." Yuri shook his head, "It's just because you made the bed, and suddenly wanted to say it again."

"It looks like this." Charlie laughed, and walked a few steps around the stone bed, "This place is not far from the coast, and the sea breeze is quite strong."

"Yes."

Just as Yuri responded, a screen rose up.

Charlie touched the screen and looked at Yuri expectantly.

"It's great, I didn't even expect it." Yuri praised quickly.Then it suddenly dawned on him, "Um, don't you mean—?"

——Because I made a screen, I will say it again.

Charlie looked serious and nodded vigorously.

"Haha." Yuri laughed out loud, and took a few steps to pick up Charlie and circle around.

Charlie was taken aback, and then he grabbed Yuri's shoulder and laughed happily.

The two young men had a frolic.It took Yuri a while to put Charlie down, and said deliberately: "That's what you mean, right? It's a great reward, isn't it."

"It's really great." Charlie laughed, hugged Yuri, and kissed him hard.

Yuri didn't hold back: "I love you."

Charlie's hug was his answer.
-
The night was long and quiet, with deep dreams.

Then Charlie woke up, awakened by the brightening sky.

Yuri woke up a little earlier and was waiting for him.

They said good morning to each other and got up to cook; then they gave the earth back the bed and the screen, and soon went to the beach to start the work of drying, or roasting, the salt.

Charlie is responsible for getting the seawater onto the rocks, and gently baking the sides of the rocks with fire, letting the wind blow over the surface of the rocks continuously, causing the seawater to disappear, leaving behind snow-white salt.

Yuri was in charge of scraping off all the salt after it had accumulated to a certain amount and putting it in a bag.

They got two sacks quickly, and only half of the morning passed.

Yuri looked at the white salt in the bag, looked at the rocks, and said decisively to Charlie: "Go ahead, I'll get some coconut leaves to wrap them."

"Huh?" Charlie was surprised.

"Salt can be stored for many years and can be exchanged for things."

"Then how do we get it back? There can't be many piles on the flying carpet. My small bag was destroyed in the magma. I didn't repurchase the magic package in Stormwind City because I was in a hurry to find you."

"I can—oh no, no, forget it, I'd better not use that state. People will definitely see it, and then it will be big news..." Yuri shook his head, denying the first thing in his mind. Out of nowhere, he turned around and said, "I'm going to get two chocobos. Or, we can, um, on the way here, I remember, there's a Kodo not far from here. "

"Have it?"

"Yes. Yesterday afternoon, towards evening, my boss saw it from afar. Ah, in that direction, in that direction to the north. Under that mountain, around the foot of the mountain."

"I didn't find it."

"Because you're busy controlling the flying carpet. And it's so far away that it's not obvious."

"Then are we going to catch the Kodo first?"

"Continue, continue to make salt. We will go there again at noon, have lunch, rest for a while, and then lure it with salt."

"Ok."

Charlie raised the water again and began to roast the salt.

Yuri lay down next to Charlie, watching happily as Charlie streamed through his work.

Seriously guys, so cute.

"Your talent is really amazing. I have never seen any human mage who can do this. Of course, I have not seen a few human mages. Far from all humans, I think there should be very good ones among humans." , better than Gaiman and the others."

Charlie stopped what he was doing and looked at Yuri: "This is not my talent, this is my compensation."
